Thanks, that was just the info I was looking for. Is the IC network a forum?

My sister needs a doctor in the Detroit area who accepts HAP insurance. She has not been diagnosed yet, but has many symptoms like mine. She would prefer someone out of St. Mary's or Henry Ford Hospital. Any suggestions? I have not lived there in many years so I am not familiar with anyone. Thanks

Have you tried the new Sendik's grocery store in Franklin? I'm not sure if they have that item, but they have a nice gluten free selection. Also, have you tried Molly's gluten free bakery in Delefield? It is wonderful!

Welcome, I live in Greenfield. I went gluten free last August. If you want to exchange some ideas for shopping or eating out, let me know. Good luck. Nancy

I live in Milwaukee, and everyone here calls clear lemon lime pop (7 up/sprite) "white soda". I guess it is a regional thing. What can you say about a place that calls a drinking fountain a "bubbler"?

Cocoa Pebbles are my favorite! There are several different companies who make brown rice krispies. The one I have now is Erewhon. So far all of the ones I have tried have been acceptable. The Enjoy Life granola was unedible, in my opinion. I am still looking for a good granola. Health Valley makes a cereal that look like rice chex. It is very good. I have...

I have had the taco salad and have had no problems. It was very good.

Thanks, printed it and added it to my binder!

If you like good chinese, LeBistro Shanghai on Hwy 100 in Hales Corners is wonderful. It is small and family owned. I went in with my Triumph dining cards and the waitress took it back to the kitchen. She then returned and pointed out several options on the menu. then she said they could make many more dishes with the fish sauce or the white sauce. I had...

Today I had a follow up appointment with my G.I. doc. It turned out differently than I expected. The first thing he noticed is that I have lost 35 pounds since the last visit in July (in my case, it is a good thing). When I mentioned the spectrum analysis, he backpedaled on his previous comments about either having celiac, or not having it. He agreed that...

I adapted this from an award winning old family recipe, and they turned out great! Gluten-Free Sugar Cookies 1 cup shortening plus 2T butter 1/2 cup powdered sugar 1/2 cup granulated sugar (mix the above ingredients until creamy) Add: 1 egg plus one egg white 1 t vanilla approx 1/2 t salt 1/2 t cream of tartar 1 t baking soda 2 t xanthum...

Very well stated Ann! My family doctor also mentioned the spectrum analogy. This is what I will present to my GI doc on the 19th. I am already anticipating him being defensive. After the biopsy, he told me I don't have celiac disease, and going gluten-free would be very difficult. Six months later, a positive response from the diet is all the evidence I need...

GFMemphis (Ann): You mentioned an artice in an upcoming G. I. Journal. I did a google search on these, and came up with several different publications. Do you have the name of the journal? I realize I am not a doctor, and it may be a stretch to read, but I am a teacher, former paramedic and current nursing student (at age 51). I can usually get a feel for...

Molly's bakery is amazing. I make a sandwich every day on their white bread. It is good as any homemade bread out there. I could not go back to buying the commercial ones. The muffins and cupcakes are great, too. They don't even taste like something from a special diet. I give it 5 stars!!!

Thanks gluten-free. I wish there were more doctors like you and my primary doctor. Staying up on the latest articles is very important. I am going to see if there is any way I can track down this article. I agree that it is time to overhaul the methods that are used to read the biopsies. Based on the diet alone, there is no doubt that my situation has improved...
