My headaches are better when I get a migrane type headache they aren't dibilitating and I am able to function and not be stuck in bed like I usually am. So I think there is something to me not eating gluten.
The main thing I miss is bread and my mom and I are going to check into the mixes you make in the bread machine because my Grandma has a bread machine. I have been craving bread and the prepared bread is so expensive almost $6.00 for 1 loaf and I just can't afford that so if I can make several loaves for the same cost I'll do that.
But all in all it has been a positive thing for me.

Jan-
I'm glad you are feeling better. That is wonderful. And you doctor is right that these tests are not that sensitive so it is very likely you can have a false negative.
As to using your grandmother's bread maker, that isn't a good idea. It will likely have gluten in/on it even if you wash it well and so gluten will easily get into your gluten free bread. If possible you will want to get your own new bread maker just for gluten free bread.
