    She only had bloodwork, no biopsy. I didn't want to put her through it at the time. When I used to be active on here, I read from several people that teens can often eat gluten without symptoms. They called it "teen remission" I think.

    Hello all! I used to be pretty active on here but life got in the way of that over the last few years! I have 4 dds, and the 3 younger ones were all diagnosed years ago. I also have it. Anyway, my 13 yr old dd was dx when she was six. At the time, she was skin and bones, but no outward symptoms that I really noticed. But when my younger dd was dx, I had...

    It's probably the Sorghum. Try using rice flour instead. When I make bread, it doesn't smell or taste funny. It's not exactly like wheat bread, but the taste is good. Hope this helps!!

    I agree with MitziG. Tell him you want to be tested and don't take no for an answer. If it's negative, then go on the diet for 4-6 months anyway just to see how it makes you feel. But if you do a trial diet, be very vigilant about your food and make sure to keep everything gluten-free. Good luck!

    I pack lunches for my 2 younger kids and sometimes my 11 year old dd. Here's the usual contents: bag of chips (cheetohs, funyuns, lays, etc), fruit cup, pudding cup, juice pouch, and an udi's sandwich (if we have the bread). In my experience, Udi's never needs to be toasted. It's great right out of the bag. If it's frozen, just wrap in a paper towel and...

    Open Original Shared Link I just saw this video on a Houston news channel. My dd was just diagnosed with ADD and started on a med. Of course she is gluten-free, but she isn't soy free or dairy free. The meds have really helped her though and she might have a chance of passing 1st grade now that she can focus on her work. What are your thoughts?

    That's pathetic. I've brought outside food into restaurants a few times and I have never had a problem. People need to be more understanding to others with disabilities. It's not like they brought McDonalds in because they didn't want pizza. I'm sure that little boy would have loved to have eaten the pizza. It's people like that that make living with food...

    Go to Hulu.com. The segment is on there.

    Why is it the media always says the gluten causes an "allergic reaction" in Celiaca?? That is not the way it works!! So frustrating. . .

    I didn't really care for the Betty Croker brownies either. I use a cornstarch brownie recipe that is VERY good and very simple. I don't remember where I got it, but here it is: 1 stick butter 4 oz unsweetened baking chocolate, broken up 1 1/3 cup sugar 3 large eggs 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract 3/4 cup corn starch Heat oven to 350 degrees...

    I found it at Krogers in Angleton, Tx, and College Station, Tx.!! I personally haven't used it yet, but my mother-in-law used it to make pancakes and they tasted WONDERFUL!! I plan to try out some of the recipes that are on the box!

    My daughter and I are going on a retreat with her choir in a couple of weeks. I am only going to cook for her and make sure her food is safe. However, I was just informed yesterday that the choir director just found out she has Celiac, so now I will be cooking for the 3 of us. I need ideas! We need 2 breadkfasts, 3 lunches, 2 dinners. Plus desserts, treats...

    I have 3 daughters that have it. Luckily, they are young and I control their diets! My mom has celiac, and we suspect her 2 sisters of having it. However, they refuse to get tested because they feel that they couldn't do the diet anyway so there is no point. It is frustrating, but you have to remember that you can't control thier lives. Just agree to disagree...

    There is this brand of condensed soups I have found at HEB's called Tasty classics. It is a product from Canada. I think they have it as one of their generic soups. I find them on the bottom shelf. It is a light gray can. They are gluten-free. They aren't labeled gluten-free, but there is no gluten on the label. We use this brand and it always turns out wonderful...

    That is SO AWESOME!! I can't wait!

    We use instant potatoes with some seasoning. We first coat the chicken pieces in a milk/egg mixture, then coat with the instant potato flakes. It tastes great! We also do this for oven fried chicken.

    Did Delicious N'Fit in Dallas (Plano) really close? Their website is gone and I found a little thing on a website saying they are closed indefinetly due to financial reasons. My family is planning a trip to Dallas this summer to take one of my daughters to camp, and we were all looking forward to eating at this restaruant. I feel like crying:(.

    I made up a short story today that is about Celiac disease. I would like to try to publish it. Any ideas on how to do this?

    I haven't been on here in a while, but I just need to vent to those that understand! My 4 yr old dd has a range of health issues. She has been having blood on her poop for a while so another dr wanted her to see a GI. Well, this is a new GI because the old one left . He told me that he doesn't really think my dd (or my others for that matter) actually...

    That is for Canada. If you live in the US, they are still safe. I just looked at the website.

    I am obese too. I have been overweight since I was in Jr high. Sadly, I havn't lost any weight since going gluten-free. But everyones body is different. You may be lucky and lose weight, but you may not.

    LOL! I agree!
