Get your attn? LOL Is that like running into a pack of vehment PETA folks and screaming "BEEF! ITS WHATS FOR DINNER!" ? LOL

Anyways, since I have never had a postive test for any food related issue. (A zero IgA, a 0 IgE, Biopsy failed to find anything, and so on). I am left with the old stand by of the DIET as a diagnostic for whats wrong with me.

I realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy hate to admit it, but dairy being gone from my diet now I am very sad to admit, I think I am diary intolerent (even though got a 0 on IgE for both casien and whey). That being said I though back to my tripple gluten challange I did. Each was done with the assumption that dairy was not an issue, so I took it form the angle "if Im gonna get sick its not gonna be over something bland and icky, give me PIZZA! CHOLOATE CAKE!!" etc. All of which had dairy and gluten in them. So realy I did not isolate gluten well enough for the challeges becuase my base assumption that dairy was safe was as wrong as it gets.

So now that I have been gluten-free since decemeber, I need some dairy free gluten to test with. Im gonna end up being mostly gluten-free becuase of my son (he did have postive blood work) but it be nice to have one less thing to worry about.

So any suggestions for easy to aquire (Im heading to Kroger for our weekly donation to thier employee's salaries) this am, so anything that a normal grocery store carries would be good. Heres the thing, I do not want even the slightest trace amount of dairy. I have good reason to believe that even the amount of dariy in something like Lays Staxx would set me off. But it should be high in gluten , just to be sure I got enough gluten to be a fiar test.

I will suggest the food that will be guaranteed to send you straight to the bathroom, if gluten is your issue--TRISCUITS! The last time I ate one (6 months pre dx) I got sick almost immediately, whereas if I get CC now, it's 2 hours.

Oh, you got me good, lol. I was coming in to say "NO, DON'T DO IT, DON'T DO IT".

Hum, that's tough even bread has dairy I think. The only thing I can think of might be cream of wheat cereal, or wheat chex or something like that, but I'd really read the labels because they sneak dairy in like they sneak gluten in sometimes. Maybe wheat germ and/or bran...cream of rye....wow, that's tough...I think giving up dairy was SOOOO much harder for me than giving up gluten foods.

Wheat Thins (yum!)

[jerseyangel]

Triscuit ingredients=whole wheat, soybean oil, salt, monodiglycerides. I have a box of them in the house my son like them. Don't look at me like that, they're in the 'gluten' cabinet

[ebrbetty]

french bread is dairy free..I think

I have a house full of Gluten I hate to make hubby and son suffer too, its not their disease

[nikki-uk]

Durum wheat pasta?

[TCA]

You really got my attention too!!!

I was dairy free for over 2 years before being gluten-free. Pop tarts (brand name) were something I kept on hand for a quick eat. French bread and pasta were great too. I also made homemade bread, but you may not want to do that with your son in the house. Too much risk of CC. There are some delicious cookies I've found at most grocery stores - Publix, Target, Wlamart. They're sticks that are cinnamon, rasberry, vanilla, etc. flavored. I can't think of the brand to save my life, but they are sooooooo good. They're in a paper bag (ornge, blue and pink) and are in the produce section at our Target. I think they're French toast sticks, but I can't remember for sure. I saw a bag from a distance the other night and had to quickly go in the other direction!!!!!! Walmart has some store brand cookies with chocolate on them that are DF too. I'll keep brainstorming and see what I can come up with for you. I have some recipes, but let me know if you're comfortable using flour.

Good luck!!!!

seitan. it is nothing but pure wheat gluten. :-) found in the asian section of a well stocked store, or an asian market.

Vincent I have to admit this is the exact same thing thats been running through my mind lately since finding out about dairy. Everything I ever ate had both gluten and dairy in them...not to mention food colorings and preservatives (which I'm also sensitive to). Someday when I'm symptom-free I'll probably want to test myself too. Good to know Triscuits dont have dairy in them....I love triscuits.
I tested negative for casein too (barely)....I was one point away. I *did* test positive for gluten but still....I want to be sure. Also it would be nice to know exactly what my reaction to gluten is...so if I get a reaction...I'll know I've eaten gluten by accident.

Matzoh! Ingredients: matzoh flour (wheat flour that has been blessed) and water.

And it's perfect for the holidays! (You can try it with Fleishmann's margarine--it's dairy-free.)

Dang it! Thats an awsome idea! To bad I am back from store now. Wish Id though of it.

As it is, I was weak LOL. I had the tirskets in my hand, then walked over to the pasta asle, and said hey psata sounds better, so put the triskets back then, I got to the cearel asle, and craved when I saw "NEW STRAWBERRY FROSTED MINIWHEATS! " LOL Im so weak. Ah well. I have them with Darifree and if I dont have any problems then thats that, if I do then I will wiast a bit and do the Matzoh, which is a fair more senislbe test (besides, I like them beter then triskets heheh).

Or just buy some of Bob's Red Mill Vital Wheat Gluten....the pkg that's crammed up against our gluten-free stuff in some stores. Sprinkle liberally on any of your gluten-free, df, foods and voila!

Good luck. I cringe thinking about it, but understand why you need to know.

[VydorScope]

Well just ate a bowl, and not dead yet... guess gotta give it time
