I have made my own Almond milk today!!!...and its creamy, easy to make and tastes good.  This has really excited me for some reason ha ha!. 
 
Basically I decided I was not happy with a lot of what was on offer and found Rice milk to be the best, but really when I looked at all the added ingredients, and the fact that it is so sugary I decided to have a go at making my own..
 
This morning I tried it with tea and have just had a creamy cup of coffee, I would never have believed how easy it was..

You crack me up!  I was going to pop in and see who asked if the OP milked a cow!  LOL

 

Great job, Zebra.  It is nice to make something and control what goes in it, especially when it really isn't all that hard!

Hey! Yes I am still feeling really pleased with myself, for some reason I thought it would be harder!! and of course it just looks like the real deal!

 

What I am not so pleased about  though is that I have discovered that I am not simply lactose intolerant.  Through a diary elimination, and some very worrying allergy symptoms it appears that I have a problem with Casein (the protein in milk) which now means I have to be even more vigilant with what I can and cannot put in my mouth.

 

It is good that I now know and explains why I have been feeling ill for so long. I read somewhere that Casein intolerance is quite serious.

      Thoughts? Non-endoscopic Celiac diagnosis in two year old

      By Russ H · Posted

      The anti-endomysial antibody test is an old test that is generally reported as positive or negative - a lab technician looks down a microscope to check for fluorescence of the sample. It is less sensitive but more specific for coeliac disease than IgA tTG2. Hence, it is not "barely positive" - it is positive. People diagnosed in childhood recover much more quickly than adults.  I would look at testing all 1st degree relatives - parents, siblings.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      What about digestive enzymes that I hear help? I take align 5x probiotics daily.

      thank you RMJ! That is very helpful advice. Good to know we aren’t crazy if we don’t do the endoscopy. We are going to try the gluten free and see how symptoms and levels improve.    thank you Wheatwacked (love the username lol) that is also reassuring. Thankfully she has an amazing and experienced pediatrician. And yesss I forgot to mention the poop! She has the weirdest poop issues.    How long did it take y'all to start seeing improvement in symptoms?

      My son was diagnosed when he was weaned in 1976 after several endoscopies.  Given your two year old's symptoms and your family history and your pediatrition advocating for the dx, I would agree.  Whether an endoscopy is positive or negative is irrelevant.   That may happen even with endoscopy.  Pick your doctors with that in mind. In the end you save the potential trauma of the endoscopy for your baby.   Mine also had really nasty poop.  His doctor started him on Nutramigen Infant because at the time it was the only product that was hypo allergenic and had complete nutrition. The improvement was immediate.

      So her tissue transglutaminase antibody is almost 4x the upper end of the normal range - likely a real result. The other things you can do besides an endoscopy would be: 1.  Genetic testing.  Unfortunately a large proportion of the population has genes permissive for celiac disease, but only a small proportion of those with the genes have it. With family history it is likely she has the genes. 2.  Try a gluten free diet and see if the symptoms go away AND the antibody levels return to normal. (This is what I would do). Endoscopies aren’t always accurate in patients as young as your daughter. Unfortunately, without an endoscopy, some doctor later in her life may question whether she really has celiac disease or not, and you’ll need to be a fierce mama bear to defend the diagnosis! Be sure you have a good written record of her current pediatrician’s diagnosis. Doing a gluten challenge for an endoscopy later in life could cause a very uncomfortable level of symptoms.   Having yourself, your husband and your son tested would be a great idea.
