I know I used to get a soy cream cheese that was quite good--I think it was called "Better than Cream Cheese?" Made by Soy Delicious?

I am not an expert on dairy. I do use a hard cheddar goat cheese for grilled sandswiches, etc. I think it was Tarnelberry (quite awhile ago) who said that hard cheddar goat cheese has no casein in it. I am allergic to the casein. I do sometimes use a soft qoat cheese in place of cream cheese. I still watch how often I use that as I think that has casein in it. I am not sure and am being cautious as I don't want the reactions I had years ago. I had my Wild Oats order me the hard cheddar goat cheese and I buy a lot when I go there. I use it in place of all cheeses in recipes.

Better than Cream Cheese is a tofutti product. Don't know whether it is gluten free or not. I actually had a recipe for pumpkin roll that used that along with (I think) tofu mates vanilla pudding mix, pecans, fructose. I just sold that cookbook and would have to see if it is posted online on the gals website or not.

Hey Karen, I see you . . . . how long does it take for cake mixes to get to the states????? :lol::lol::lol::P:lol::D

I sent them the cheap/slow route - by nine days. Figured I would let you sweat it out and drool a bit..... :D;)

I think I have your neighbour issue figured out! I figure you have two options here:

1) PM Rusla and get her to conjure up a "Make a Neighbour from Hell Disappear" spell......

or

2) Make a voodoo doll of your neighbour and then punish the bejeebers out of her! Think of all the options you would have and the sheer enjoyment it would bring. Think pins, matches, dropping from roof, etc. etc......

:P:lol:;)

Hugs.

Karen

Forget Rusla doing this. She only does the good Goddess things as the bad can come back to haunt her.

I am all for a Voodoo doll. At least Lynne could take her frustrations out on it, if nothing else. But, I think with a Voodoo doll you need nail clippings and hair from her neighbor. Would a dead flea and a piece of her gargage work instead?

Yikes!!! I don't mess around with that VooDoo stuff . . . too dangerous. I DO have two VooDoo dolls that my parents brought me back from New Orleans, and VooDoo beads that a friend brought back . . . (yes, she flashed for them . . . WHILE she was with her parents . . . . EWWWWWW), but once I met a lady who actually PRACTICED VooDoo. She scared the holy crap out of me.

I could conjure up some intent toward my next door neighbor that all the ill will that she puts out into the world comes back to her . . . . . Hmmmmmm......

She's rallying her troops . . . saw her going neighbor to neighbor today . . . and heard her talking (loudly -- because I could hear it from across the street -- I wasn't just eavesdropping -- which, by the way, isn't illegal and most of the time not even WRONG :P ) about the trash cans!!! What a rotten neighbor she is . . . .

Didn't really care because it was my daily trip to the mailbox, and I haven't had a blood pressure that registered today, so it's kind of like -- "Lady, I have a heck of a lot more important things to deal with than you." If she was as "disabled" as she claims to be, I don't think she'd have quite the energy that she does to create such trouble throughout the neighborhood. :wacko:

I AM already sweating it out! Started eating yesterday -- had lunch AND dinner!! Also had both meals today! And gluten-free cereal for a snack tonight!! Getting my stomach stretched back out so I can have room for CAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      I  notice a reaction to tea bags, possibly due to gluten or other substances. Is this recognizable?

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      The blood tests you had done are not the main ones. The two main ones are the "Total IGA" (to check for IGA deficiency) and the "TTG-IGA". Current guidelines for the "gluten challenge" when people have been gluten free for a significant time period are the daily consumption of at least10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks leading up to the day of the blood draw. That should give you some perspective.

      Thank you, really.  I took a test for DGP-IgA and DGP-IgG. Effectively, it is not enough to discard Celiac Disease. I was consuming gluten until then, I only started gluten-free some days ago, when the symptoms became horrible and now I feel considerably better, which is a second confirmation that gluten is the main problem. It's been more than 4 years I have the same suspect, when I first thought gluten was causing me problems, I made a gluten-free diet for a year, I felt really good as never before. However, neither I or my parents were well informed about Celiac disease, so none of us tried to make further exams. My father suffer digestive problems and other members of my family as well. Unfortunately, no one have ever been tested for Celiac disease. I'll have to restart eating gluten in the next weeks, so I can make a serious blood test in laboratory, hopefully between two or three months.

      As Scott said, in order for celiac disease testing to be valid, you need to be eating generous amounts of gluten on a regular basis for weeks or months before the blood draw. The blood tests are designed to detect antibodies that the immune system produces in response to the ingestion of gluten. It takes time for them to build up in the blood to detectable levels.

      Based on what you've described, it is absolutely crucial that you pursue further medical exams for Celiac Disease and related conditions with a gastroenterologist. Your symptoms—especially the worsening fatigue, loss of muscle mass, neurological symptoms like migraines, and palpitations, coupled with being underweight—are significant red flags that extend beyond typical IBS. The negative home test is not reliable, particularly given your concern about sample contamination and the fact that you were likely not consuming sufficient gluten at the time for the test to be accurate, which is a common issue. While probiotics like Bifidobacterium Infantis can support gut health, they cannot resolve an autoimmune response to gluten or heal intestinal damage caused by Celiac Disease. Your declining blood test results, even if still "in range," further indicate a trend that needs a doctor's investigation. Please do not hesitate to seek a specialist; a formal diagnosis is the first step toward getting the correct treatment, allowing your body to heal, and finally addressing your weight and overall health concerns. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
