Annika Update

For those of you that remember our struggle with little Annika's rash and hives, I have some GREAT news. We have finally narrowed it down to four allergies. Milk gives her hives almost immediately. Rice and apples give her a rash, though it seems to take between 2 and 4 days. Corn gives her hives, but seemingly not immediately which is part of what was causing us some confusion. We haven't introduced most of the popular allergens, and of course she will remain gluten free until preschool, so we may not even know about some of her allergies. It's hard to say. At least we're on the right track though now. Her skin is beautiful and clear for the first time since she was a newborn. She also is much more pleasant now that she's not constantly scratching. This week has been amazing. She has not a patch of itchy skin on her, no more bloody clothes, no screaming while she scratches, clear face... It's amazing!!!

Thanks again to everyone who gave us support in our search for answers.

Thanks guys! I can't believe how big she's getting either. It seems like just yesterday that I was pregnant with her and Tori was my little one. It all just goes entirely too quickly. This is our last so I am hanging onto every moment.

      Gluten found in Bob's Red Mill TVP using Elisa Technology test

      By Janet McAlpin · Posted

      Hello all,  I used the Elisa Technology test by EZ Gluten. It is PTM sm certified and tests down to 10,000ppm. I order them online and use at home. Each test takes 25 minutes and it is the most accurate home test I have found.  I am aware that gluten-free labeling indicates that a food has under 20,000 ppm of gluten according to FDA standards.     I have heard discussions about Bob’s Red Mill not conforming to the certified gluten-free certified symbol but continued to use their own gluten-free symbol. I have not done my own deep dive on this topic  -yet! Largely because I have eaten Bob’s Red Mill gluten-free oats and Gluten Free flours of all kinds for years with no reaction. So I trusted their label. This is the first time I have had a reaction to a Bob’s Red Mill product.    I am curious to read more and learn more if anyone knows about Bob’s Red Mill testing practices.    thanks for your help and interest, Janet

      nuts.com -- no longer Celiac safe?

      By larc · Posted

      All of these comments support what I've experienced for years -- just about anything in a package is suspect for gluten no matter how much the label trumpets its gluten-free status. And that includes foods that are labeled "certified gluten-free." A while back I was especially disappointed with nuts.com products -- after I had a reaction. As a result, I've gone through several periods when my celiac symptoms (which include significant cognitive issues, nervous system problems and arteriosclerosis) have led me to eat nothing out of a package and have cooked everything from scratch. Even today, the only nuts I eat are those I buy in the shell, crack open myself and cook. I have had too many bad experiences with nuts that I didn't prepare this way.

      I think in the UAE you may have access to pistachios, cashews and coconut. All would be packed with calory and nutrient dense. Cashews especially, are both high in fat and higher in carbs than most other nuts.

      Untreated celiac

      Bananas are rich in fiber, potassium, magnesium, iron, phosphorus, and zinc and B vitamins.  One of the first successful treatments for Celiac Disease used banana as the main carbohdrate energy source. quick, easily digestible energy, easier on sensitive stomachs and offer more potassium, which can help replenish electrolytes lost through sweat.”   I clean and separate the banana from the bunch and store in the refrigerator.  The outside peel may turn color, even black, but the banana inside does not get overripe so they can last a long time.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Treen · Posted

      I only intend to do the blood screen. I also fully intend to remove gluten from my diet whether the test is positive or negative.  I’d just like to know, even if it’s inconclusive, if Celiac might be the cause my life-long gastrointestinal distress. If the test is positive, I’ll assume that I probably have Celiac, like my sister. If it’s negative, I’ll assume that I may have a gluten intolerance/allergy — or not.  My quest will end there. My belly problems don’t render my life insufferable. My sister’s diagnosis (positive blood and biopsy) just made me curious whether I have Celiac, too. Either way, I’m done with gluten as soon as I give the blood sample on Wednesday 👍🏼
