  1. I have to admit that, as someone with celiac disease, I feel for the mom in this story. I know that there are some gluten free baked goods that are not very palatable. However, there are some that you would never know were gluten free unless someone told you. 1) The child is 1 year old. They most likely won't remember, or care, whether it's gluten free...
  2. I can eat soybeans, but I don't handle soy milk very well. A small amount in another product is ok for me. But if the base of the product is soy milk (like soy yogurt), then I am better off if I avoid it. I have never investigated eating according to blood type.
  3. You're welcome! We're all on this journey together. 🙂
  4. I am still working on that one myself. Sometimes it requires trial and error. I like using King Arthur gluten free measure for measure flour. But not all gluten free flours work for all recipes. My experience so far is that you probably will have more success with a flour mix that contains xanthan gum. This is a link to a recipe that I have had the most...
  5. I aim for under 10ppm. For those of us with celiac, the closer to zero we can get the better.🙂
  6. Hi Titnic, Welcome! I agree with Trents, and I strongly encourage you to go gluten free. I went gluten free 3 years ago. I really struggled with it emotionally. I found that I personally had to grieve giving up gluten. While there are still times that are hard, it is getting much easier. You can do this, my friend. I believe in you.
  7. Especially gluten free bread items! That is a common theme for people like us. I think that there are some creative ways to help cut down on the cost a bit. But it definitely involves cooking everything from scratch yourself. It also involves researching each ingredient to make sure that it is gluten free. Sometimes I can also find less expensive...
  8. The celiac damage causes the leaky gut. But the leaky gut is what causes our bodies to react negatively/develop intolerances to other foods. I also can't tolerate milk and certain raw vegetables.
  9. We have gluten free food, but we don't get any financial assistance to help pay for it. We have to pay out of our own pocket.
  10. I found this article helpful as I started my journey. https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/the-gluten-free-diet-101-a-beginners-guide-to-going-gluten-free-r1640/
  11. I actually love the fact that this online community is international. Don't worry about the language difficulties. You are doing great! 🙂 It does sound like Celiac. Inflammation in the duodenum is what they look for to confirm the diagnosis. Often those of us with celiac disease have other food intolerances as well. Milk is a common one. The cu...
  12. Hi! Thanks for sharing your story. I am not a medical professional, so this is not medical advice. I can see how what your doctor said would be confusing. I would ask your doctor for clarification. Technically celiac is not a "true allergy". Sometimes the word allergy is used incorrectly. Did you have an endoscopy/biopsy to discover the inflammation...
  13. What you are experiencing is actually pretty common. It does get better. Sometimes people have withdrawal symptoms from going off gluten. Have you gotten past the stage of feeling hungry all the time? Sometimes gluten free foods don't have as much fiber, so they don't feel as filling at first. hang in there!
  14. I was looking at it recently myself. I could be wrong, but my understanding is that while celiac disease is covered under the ADA, it doesn't necessarily mean that the person who has celiac disease is eligible for disability benefits. I don't know if it is the same in every state. In my state I would only be able to get disability benefits if I was physically...
  15. You can do it! I remember how hard it was when I started. I don't know how it has been for you. I tell people that when I started, it was like I was trying to get a drink of water from a high pressure water hose. But it does get better. There's definitely hope for you.
