    You got a diagnosis as an infant, you do not need another one. You do not outgrow celiac, like they used to think. Well of course there are still some uninformed doctors that think that. IMO, if I were you I would in no way consider trying to kill myself to get some celiac/gluten test, that is probably going to be negative anyway & what are you...

    as a Texan let me just say, that if you are in nowhere Texas & they do not think you are an alien from outer space because you are not eating peach cobbler, chicken fried steak & biscuits & gravy, you are doing good. Most people in Texas are all about food & plenty of it. If your uncle's cousin's best friend dies they will bring food...

    All great suggestions, also when you do start baking gluten-free, if there is an Asian grocery near you, they will have very inexpensive rice flours, tapioca flours, potato flour etc. any brand of gluten-free lasagna noodles will taste as good as any wheat ones. So get the cheapest brand of those. No one will be able to tell the difference. In a pinch...

    I guess you know that the doctors are wrong on that. Seizures are a big problem for some when eating gluten. Yours is not the first thread on here about that. Check the Babys & children thread on here, I am sure it was not too long ago that this came up. Also, goggle celiac & seizures you will get a lot of hits. You can also check the...

    Panic Attacks, Anxiety & depression are common neurological symptoms of gluten. Meds are no help - drugged to the gills you will still have depression... I have a friend (Irish) & that is one of her worse symptoms, well the diarrhea, & weight loss also, she is fairly classic in symptoms. But the neurological for her is like a faucet, one wheaty...

    OMG, Thank you for posting your family's history. My mother also died of colon cancer. It seems to be common among the celiac group. Of course my mother was not dx, we did not know anything about celiac then. She did develop severe food allergies that put her in the ER more than once. What a family history, it sounds like you all have a problem. Do...

    If Dr Fine publishes his work that is not a sign that anyone will accept it. You might want to read the book "Good Calories Bad Calories" by Gary Taubes, that explains all these "studies" & published papers used as fact in the U.S.

    fruit - my favs are oranges, berries, & pineapple sometimes I would rather have pineapple than anything else... foot wigglin joyful anticipation is See's candy!!! (a small dairy cheat)

    I agree with Ursa, except I would go a step further & say that a newly gluten-free person should not be eating Gluten Free bread. The secret to getting well faster is not to replace your gluten items with the same items gluten free but to change the way that you eat. for breakfast i would have several fresh fruits, some bacon & eggs if you like...

    Ask for the gluten free list at the courtesy booth area - up front in the Kirby store. It is a list of all the gluten-free things in the store. Gluten Free Pantry Brownie Mix - made them today for a friend of mine that is in a nursing home. I just picked up a package at Central Market - which is on Westheimer not too far from Whole Foods on Kirby. Central...

    Welcome to the group. Actually you could feed him gluten for however long & he could have or develope complete villi atrophy & never get diarrhea. Some people have no GI symptoms & some people have constipation. The diarrhea, wasting away, vomitting, nausea, are the classic symptoms that doctors look for (bless their hearts). The problem...

    Are you getting CC from somewhere? What is your working & living situation? what are you eating? are you eating any Quaker Rice Cakes? There are some other things that might look gluten-free on the label but really are not. Are you eating anything that has "natural flavor" on the label? A lot of food companies have cleaned up their labels...

    Hmmm that is very interesting. With the high fat score it looks like some intestinal damage is going on. I see that he has a DQ1, hence why I think that he should not be eating the dairy & soy. although his test score is even on the dairy - I would not chance it - probably he eats less dairy if he is Asian... Does he have any other food intolerances...

    Each child is different. At first you might want to also eliminate dairy & soy. Feed things like baked sweet potatoes, jello, plain meats, fish, veggies & fruits. You might want to cook the veggies & fruits for a couple of days to see if that helps. Rice would also be a good food to start out with. Homemade chicken soup with only chicken...

    Keep us posted on your progress!!!! Yea for gluten-free!!

    cashews are nuts, I have seen them growing on cashew trees - they grow at the bottom of the cashew fruit, which makes great jam or wine. Peanuts are also nuts, although they are really classified as a legume, but anyone that has a nut allergy better not be eating peanuts!! try some cold sliced chicken with a fruit for a snack. some mashed up avocado...

    I agree with Fiddle faddle. There is a doctor in Austin, texas that specializes in diabetes & she is trying to get other doctors to test ALL their diebetic patients for celiac. I do not know her name but read an article about her somewhere. If you are interested you could probably google it or contact the Austin Celiac support group - they might know...

    Good for you!!!!!

    I know where you are coming from Ursa & I totally understand the mom's dilemma. We are in the middle of a medical change in this country, but cancer has not been touched by it yet. I have been thru that leukemia scare myself - I know it is not the same - because if your child has it - you just hold your breath. But it turned out that I did not have...

    I wonder if the doctors would tell you the same thing if you were their daughter... Sorry but you got some bad advice from a doctor & you will suffer for it. It might be 20 years from now... Also, you will hold onto the high risk of cancer & other auto-immune illnesses with that small wheat contamination. The tests mean almost nothing. Ask some...

    You might want to think about taking the Prilosec. Doctors are just too quick to prescribe meds. If you go gluten-free you should be healing up fairly quickly & will not need the Prilosec. have you googled the side effects? A goofy doctor of mine mailed me a prescription for low potassium & one of the side effects was death! I just checked...

    unless you have diabetes - I would ditch the splenda & use honey instead. spenda is totally not good for anyone. When you get your diet adjusted & do not eat the things that you are intolerant to - you will lose weight. Please do not be using the artificial sweetners - I do not care what any company says etc. so, if someone wants to say that...

    were those instant mashed potatoes - if yes check the box, might contain wheat. Also, check the mixed veggie label, I am not sure on that one because I do not buy frozen veggies. & you might be sensitive to "natural flavoring" which can be anything, including MSG... You could also be getting cross contamination from the wooden cooking spoons...

    This recipe was in our local paper. Someone at my office made them & they were excellent!!!! Enjoy! :) FLOURLESS CHOCOLATE COOKIES 1/2 Cup plus 3 Tablespoons Cocoa Powder 3 Cups Confectioners Sugar Pinch salt 2 & 3/4 Cups Walnuts, toasted & coarsely chopped 4 Egg Whites, at room temperature 1 Tablespoon Vanilla Extract ...

    Dear Blessings, prayers from me also. But try not to worry, I know several people with celiac that have had the odd non-malignant tumor... Hope you feel better soon!
