Pancakes. Sounds weird, I know, but it's actually rather tasty - they have good texture and flavour right out of the fridge. Lots of people use a mix, but they can be rather sweet. The best set I've had came from a recipe on this site - 1c flour, 1c milk, 1 egg, 2 tbsp sugar, 2 tbsp oil, and 1 tsp baking powder. Mix everything together and cook in a hot...

I've not used that particular recipe, but I'm betting that the problem was the halving - shortbreads are tricky recipes to tinker with, and halving rarely works well with them. (I mentioned your problem to my nan, who makes to-die-for shortbreads. . .sadly not gluten-free. . .and she suggested this as well). If you must halve them, you need to slightly-more...

Start with your doctor - make an appointment, take a copy of your private results with you and explain that you have been diagnosed privately as celiac, and ask your doctor what, if anything, you need to do to get the celiac diagnosis into your medical records. Personally, I didn't even have to show my doctor anything (though she has since requested my complete...

What do I eat for breakfast? Anything in the fridge. As far as I'm concerned, if it's in the fridge, it's food and it's appropriate for breakfast. Because I work insanely unpredictable hours, I need my meals to last - sometimes up to eight hours (though I try to keep it to four or five). This week, for example, I had pork stir fry on Monday, leftover rice...

Rickops, I can't personally answer your question, but I recommend that you visit this site: Open Original Shared Link as there will be people there who can. . .they are the experts when it comes to celiac disease and its neurological side effects. Best of luck, (and please, I know how hard it is to do this, but please keep your daughter on gluten...

The standard is to do blood work at 6 months, 12 months and 24 months following diagnosis - with more frequent tests at your physicians discretion if dietary difficulties are encountered. If your daughter panics at these (I do too. . .) you might consider talking to your doctor about getting a pediatric specialist to draw your daughter's blood (your local...

I think I've already posted in one of your other posts, but just in case I'm mistaken: yup. I was asymptomatic (reasonably well adjusted socially, physically active, and a growth chart straight out of a medical textbook). And VERY positive on the blood tests. Enterolab wasn't around yet, so I don't know what my results would have been. I know how hard...

I would venture to suggest that the best thing you can do to comfort your girlfriend during the aftermath of an accidental glutening is just to be there - Baer used to rent one of my favourite movies (I'm never clear-headed enough to follow a new one), keep my juice glass full, and a blanket close to hand for the chills, and then we'd cuddle. Distracting...

Having read the links people have left here, I'm skeptical about the idea of a pill that could do for celiac disease what lactaid does for lactose intolerance. For one thing, the researchers seem to be concentrating on the intestinal attributes of the disease. . .what about those of us for whom the digestive system is not a problem? If it won't help me, even...

So last weekend, my neighbours (really friendly couple) knocked on my door with a steaming bowl. We've just had breakfast, she said, and I made this oatmeal. We've got tons left. . .would you like a bowl? Sure, I said. Would you believe I finished the bowl? After nearly seven years! God, I felt soooooo stupid the rest of the day (as well as sick!)

I know it's hard, but try cutting corn out as well. . .my neuro issues settled down initially, and then spiked up again when I put corn back into my diet. I've been corn and soy free (as well as gluten-free) for four months now and the neuro symptoms are completely gone. Also make sure that your workspace is gluten-free (clean your desk, telephon and mouse...

Lindsay, I'd like to comment, although I was diagnosed long before enterolab came on the scene. I'd like to point out that fecal fat content is only a reliable measure of celiac disease in people who are experiencing substantial intestinal damage, and is thus not necessarily a reliable method of testing in asymptomatic (or very young) celiacs. Under 3...

Let me say this again: a Naturopathic Doctor is a MEDICAL doctor (someone who went to an accredited medical school. . .like Bastyr) who is trained to use traditional homeopathic remedies in tandem with or as a substitute for pharmaceutical remedies. A naturopath is not a doctor, nor is a chiropractor, except is the same way that my cousin is, who is a "doctor...

I can't really say for sure, because I've not used Glutino's pancake mix and I don't know what pancake recipe you're using. My suggestion, however, would be to use the pancake mix as a substitute (1 for 1) for the flour in a waffle recipe. That should work.

What age of "children" are they looking for? I was diagnosed by blood test at ACH in 2000 (but I was a teenager?). Wondering if I should have gotten something?
