    Mmm, sounds good! You could also make an "apple pie" dessert pizza. Michelle

    To me, cheese on pizza is overrated. The best part is the sauce...but it has to be a good sauce, and lots of it to compensate for the cheese (if I can't taste the sauce for all the cheese, it's just not good pizza to me.) I'm partial to Boston Pizza...their sauce is zesty. So I say, forget the cheese...you can put anything you darn well want on pizza. Try...

    Here is the link to D.D. Williamson's gluten statement: Open Original Shared Link If you look at their allergy info, they also state that none of the raw sources in their North American or South American caramel colour come from wheat or gluten. The link to Sethness Caramel Color gluten and allergen statments: Open Original Shared Link Neither company...

    My understanding is that caramel colour in North American products is gluten free (not derived from wheat or other gluten grains at all), but that is not the case world-wide. I'll try to find the link to one manufacturer again, and will post it when I do. There is one particular manufacturer that has good gluten-specific information about their products....

    Breastfeeding itself has little impact on the shape of the breasts. It's the enlargement during pregnancy that makes the big difference. I got huge during pregnancy and immediately afterward (engorgement). Once breastfeeding was well established, the size reduced and stablizied. The pregnancy growth and engorgement are going to happen regardless of whether...

    Vent away! If your husband is having his biopsy done in two weeks, then he may want to wait until that test is over before going gluten free (going gluten free can have an impact on the results of biopsy.) Until that time, do some planning about meals. Find out what is and isn't safe to eat...find out what snacks are gluten free. There are brands of...

    The coffee can contribute to the headaches too, BTW. Michelle

    I'm not really noticing any new features, but that may be because I put in my own BB Code rather than using the preset buttons. It would be nice if someone could start that new thread and walk us through the new stuff! Michelle

    I'm not seeing a spell check button. Hmmm, I wonder if it is browser specific? I'm not seeing it built into the board though. The pop-up blocker is an alert from your browser. Which one do you use? Michelle

    Just because it's normal, doesn't mean we have to like it. LOL! I'm not too thrilled with the shape I'm in after breastfeeding 3 kids (6 years total.) The thing is, though, it's pregnancy, not breastfeeding, that creates the physical change in shape. So whether you breastfeed or not, they'll never look the same again. Michelle

    Breastfeeding is worth it. It's still the perfect food for babies...providing the correct nutritition at each developmental stage, and providing immunity. The body will do its best to ensure that the baby is getting the nutrition it needs. Breastfeeding is also a stage of normal breast development, and decreases the chance a woman will develop breast cancer...

    Personally, I think more gets into breastmilk than researches know (or admit?) I know my own children were very much impacted by what I ate during breastfeeding...I simply avoided foods that seemed to correlate with their health issues. Didn't clear it up completely, however, (I was not gluten free either) until they grew to about 20 pounds. I have heard...

    godairyfree.org is working again! Here is the webpage that lists dairy ingredients: Open Original Shared Link Michelle

    There is a risk to the developing fetus if a celiac mother continues to consume gluten, due to malabsorption of essential nutrients. I imagine this would be the same for breastfeeding in that it may affect the nutrient level in the breastmilk...and risk that the baby does not receive adequate nutrition. Michelle
  15. Michi8
    I believe that there are a number anecdotal reports of gluten passing on to baby through breastmilk, but this has not been confirmed through research. At this point, if a mom feels that being gluten free during breastfeeding is helping their baby, then there is not harm in doing so. Michelle

    Spell check? Is it automatic? Will it allow Canadian spelling, like neighbour, colour, etc? Michelle
  17. Michi8
    Courtney, there is a long list of milk-derived ingredients you need to watch for. There is a very complete list here: Open Original Shared Link I'm having trouble connect to that website at the moment. Once you are able to go there, do a bit of looking around for the list...you can print it out to take with you when you shop. As well, you can check out Open...

    I've got my browser set to remember logins, so it remembered that it used my email address. Today the board didn't recognize it. I needed to use my username instead. I'll have to explore around and see what's new. I have noticed that the board layout doesn't look quite right in Firefox for Mac though..."Blogs" is bumped down out of the menu. Michelle...

    I see the board is back! Yay! Had some trouble logging in, though...seems that it's gone back to user name instead of email addy? Michelle

    Sigrid, Have you picked up any books on celiac disease? There are a couple of good ones I'd recommend...they may give you some info on the relationship between celiac and hypoglycemia... Celiac Disease: A Hidden Epidemic by Dr. Peter Green and Rory Jones is an excellent book that thoroughly explains celiac and its relationship to other disorders, testing...

    LOL! You must have posted just as I was adding my edit with that link! Michelle

    No I don't. I don't know that it's any more effective than giving produce a thorough rinse with running tap water (and I'm hesitant to add any other potential chemicals to my produce.) An awful lot of hands have touched that produce before it touched the scanner...and before it makes it to your table. Heck, that produce may have grown in a field that's been...

    Thank you JenKuz and nikki-uk for that information. I will continue with the gluten free diet then. I'm pretty sure that my GI didn't bother going any further, because everything looked normal to the naked eye. I'm also sure that, even though she heard I wanted to check for celiac, that she probably dismissed it because no one else in my family has...

    I'm not expecting everyone to agree with me. I'd like it if people would read my point and understand what I'm getting at. I got sucked into buying this product based on it's advertising. I missed the small print until after I had opened the box and tried the product (which is actually quite good), and was concerned...so I wrote about it...and was looking...

    I didn't realize that colonoscopy reached the area that showed the damage...I had thought it was endoscopy/gastroscopy that gave a better view/access to the affected areas. Now, I'm not going through these procedures just because I suspect celiac...I need to rule out any other potential problems too. I'll try to talk to the dr (she specializes in celiac BTW...
