WHAT ELSE IS THERE TO EAT!!!!! JEEZ! I don't think I could do that if I wanted to. I'm a total carnivore and cheese hound.

I am a total carnivore too...love my meat...I think just reducing the overall load is what counts, so I'll do it in the other areas mostly.

Just popping in really quick, will have to come back and read to catch up....

An important tip about steaming the tortillas, do not let the water boil up into the steamer basket! That would be very bad, you will end up with a pile of mushy gooey ground corn. You want the water below the bottom of the steamer basket and as it boils let the steam come up through the little holes. Hopefully that makes sense?

Susan, they aren't very expensive (I don't think). I have a metal one, not sure what material, and it adjusts to fit different pan sizes. like an unfolding flower looking thing, hard to describe, bt it comes in handy. I steam vegetables with it, and tamales, and now the corn tortillas.

Rinne, beautiful picture!!!

I must confess I have not followed the thread about Megan, I haven't had much time to stray from here. I will have to read what is going on. She will definitely be in my thoughts and prayers as well.

Karen, looks like you are the trouble maker in Rachelville :lol: We have all thought about you and your "D", I wish somebody could find you a solution.

Be back later!

Rinne,

It's so good to finally see you. :P

Jeny,

I don't know about your situation with the different computers.

Karen,

Did you see the post about gliadin foods that someone posted earlier.

What's the thing with altoids? Aren't they a breath freshener? I've noticed on other threads that you are the altoids lady.

Susan,

How are you doing today. What does TMI mean anyway?

Rachel,

Have fun today.

Cissie,

Hope you feel better real soon.

Julie,

I'll keep that in mind....steaming corn tortillas.

Donna,

You've been doing lots of research lately. Did the plums settle well with you?

Patti,

Sounds like you are feeling good too.

Cecile,

For when you get a chance to get on here. Hope you're feeling good today.

Robbin,

Are you there? I forget whether you posted earlier today or not. Are you feeling better today?

Vincent, Ryan, Picard,

I trust all is well with our "fellow" residents.

All the other gals I missed, hello.

Debbie,

Can we add you to the list of jobs for Rachelville?

Yes, it was a little slow at work today, so when there's no work I can play. Well, I think the warning from Penguin was kind of applicable (reminding me of the prune affect, lol)...but that was okay because I'd had C for a couple of days. :lol:

I just noticed something...I'm on my husband's laptop and I have celiac.com on the favorites so I don't have to remember my user and pass. when I got on here, I noticed that the name and email is different from the new one on my computer. Is this normal?! :huh:

It's my old name, avatar, # of posts...everything!!

wait....R-ville is perfect, so we don't need counselors, right?? Karen's job can be the Altoids Sales Rep and Dispenser of Good Times.....but she won't have to sell them, just give them out freely, you know, at the parades and all, and the dances at the Town Square.....good times!

We have something in common--My baby sister is 8 years younger than I am. I always took care of her when we were kids, I took her everywhere with me! We have always been very close. I have another sister who is 4 years younger. We also fought a lot when we were kids, and only now, in the last 2 years or so are we finally getting to be close.

Patti, yes it is great to have sisters, I feel very fortunate to have them. :)

Andrea, what an adorable picture of your children, the littlest one looks like he might be a little mischievious. :)

Cissie, I hope you are feeling better.

Thank you for the compliments, it's nice to be seen. :)

Oh and I don't get the Altoids thing either, does this mean I have to go to Google to find out? You mean I have to leave Rachelville? :lol:

      Bob red mill gluten free oats

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified...

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you...

      High TTG-IgG and Normal TTG-IgA

      Let me suggest an adjustment to your terminology. "Celiac disease" and "gluten intolerance" are the same. The other gluten disorder you refer to is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which is often referred to as being "gluten sensitive". Having said that, the reality is there is still much inconsistency in how people use these terms. Since celiac disease...

The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.

      thank you both for the insights. i agree, im going to back off on dairy and try sucraid. thanks for the tip about protein powder, i will look for whey protein powder/drinks!   i don’t understand why my doctor refused to order it either. so i’ve decided i’m not going to her again, and i’m going to get a second opinion with a GI recommended to me by someone with celiac. unfortunately my first appointment isn’t until February 17th. do you think i should go gluten free now or wait until after i meet with the new doctor? i’m torn about what i should do, i dont know if she is going to want to repeat the endoscopy, and i know ill have to be eating gluten to have a positive biopsy. i could always do the gluten challenge on the other hand if she does want to repeat the biopsy.    thanks again, i appreciate the support here. i’ve learned a lot from these boards. i dont know anyone in real life with celiac.

      Let me suggest an adjustment to your terminology. "Celiac disease" and "gluten intolerance" are the same. The other gluten disorder you refer to is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which is often referred to as being "gluten sensitive". Having said that, the reality is there is still much inconsistency in how people use these terms. Since celiac disease does damage to the small bowel lining it often results in nutritional deficiencies such as anemia. NCGS does not damage the small bowel lining so your history of anemia may suggest you have celiac disease as opposed to NCGS. But either way, a gluten-free diet is in order. NCGS can cause bodily damage in other ways, particularly to neurological systems.
