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!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      Actually, it would be more correct to say that the genetic potential to develop celiac disease is passed down from parents to children. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% of the general population actually do.

      Positive biopsy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If you are still eating gluten you could get a celiac disease blood panel done, but I agree with @trents and the gold standard for diagnosing celiac disease would be your endoscopy results. Is it possible they did do a celiac disease panel before your biopsy? This would be the normal chain of events. 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.

About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% of the general population actually do. But it is also true that the offspring of those who do have active celiac disease are at a considerably higher risk of developing active celiac disease than those of parents who have the genes but don't develop the disease. Some recent, larger studies put the risk at near 50% for the first degree relatives of those who have active celiac disease.

      Fruits & Veggies

      Hello everyone! Been a while since I posted. The past few moths have been the best by for recovery for myself. I have been the least bloated I have ever been, my constant throat clearing is almost gone, I have stopped almost all medication I was prevously taking (was taking vyvanse for adhd, pristiq for anxiety,fomotadine/blexten for histamine blockers and singulair). Only thing I take now is Tecta. I also no longer get any rashes after eating. Things are going very well. Most success came actually once I upped my B12 daily dose to 5,000 mcg. I do have one thing I am un able to figure out and want to see if anyone else has this issue or has experience working around it. Ever since I was born I have always had a issue getting fruits and veggies down. No matter how hard I tried, it would always result in gagging or throwing up. Always just thought I was a picky eater. Now that my stomach and system has healed enough that I can feel when something is off almost istantly, I notice that after eating most fruits (sometimes I am ok with bananas) and veggies, my stomach instantly starts burning and my heart starts to pound and I get really anxious as if my body doesnt know what to do with what just enetered it. So I am thinking now that this is what probably was going on when I was born and my body started rejecting it before which caused this weird sensory issue with it causing the gagging. Hoping someone has some exprience with this as well because I would love to be able to enjoy a nice fruit smoothie once in a while haha. Thanks everyone!

      i know i've been rather cynical and sad about being fully diagnosed in june 2025, but my boyfriend has been consistently showing me the wonderful world that is gluten free cooking and baking. in the past couple of days he's made me a gluten free rice paper-wrapped spanakopita "pastry", plus a wonderful mac and cheese bechamel-ish sauce with gluten free pasta (san remo brand if you're in australia/if you can get your hands on it wherever you are).  those meals are notably gluten free, but mainly he's been making me easy gluten free meals - chili mince with white rice and sour cream, chicken soup with homemade stock from the chicken remains, and roast chickens with rice flour gravy and roast veggies. i'm a bit too thankful and grateful lol. how lucky could i possibly be? and, of course, for those who don't have someone to cook for them, it's quite easy to learn to cook for yourself. i've been making a lot of meals for us too. honestly, cooking is pretty darn fun! knowing basic knife skills and sanitary practices are all you really need. experimenting with spices will help you get on track to creating some really flavourful and yummy dishes. coeliac is a pain, but you can use it to your advantage. healthier eating and having fun in the kitchen are major upsides. much luck to all of you! let's be healthy!

      That test is saying that your daughter is not making normal amounts of any IGA antibodies.  She's not making normal amounts of antibodies against gliadin, not against bacteria, not against viruses.  She is deficient in total IGA, so the test for antigliadin antibodies is not valid.  The test was a failure.  The test only works if all different kinds of antibodies were being made.  Your daughter is not making all different kinds of antibodies, so the test results are moot.  Your daughter should have the DGP IgG and TTG IgG tests done.   The tests should be performed while she is still consuming gluten.  Stopping and restarting a gluten containing diet can make her more sick, just like you refuse to eat gluten for testing.  Call the doctor's office, request both the IGG tests. Request to be put on the cancellation list for an appointment sooner.  Ask for genetic testing.   Celiac disease is passed on from parents to children.  You and all seven children should be tested for genes for Celiac disease.  Your parents, your siblings and their children should be tested as well.  Eating gluten is not required for genetic testing because your genes don't change.  Genetic testing is not a diagnosis of Celiac disease.  Just having the genes means there is the potential of developing Celiac disease if the Celiac genes are activated.  Genetic testing helps us decide if the Celiac genes are activated when coupled with physical symptoms, antibody testing, and biopsy examination. It's frustrating when doctors get it wrong and we suffer for it.  Hang in there.  You're a good mom for pursuing this!
