    No. Kansas, USA Perhaps you should have set this up using the poll feature. People have things to say on most every topic, especially me!

    Ditto Vincent. Why torture your child?

    Hmmm... celiac disease gluten-free dh Well how do you like that! I didn't even know we had autoabbreviation! I missed so much while I was gone!

    Rusla!! LMAO!!

    I have it, my mom had it, and we both are/were overweight. Celiac messes with the immune system if you keep eating gluten, so it shows itself in vastly different ways. Symptoms exhibited by one person can be the exact opposite of what another shows. Have you had an endoscopy? A GI doc needs to take samples from the lining of your small intestine for biopsy...

    Why take her off a glutenfree diet? There's nothing unhealthy about it.

    "Recognize symptoms. They can include chronic diarrhea, abdominal bloating and pain, weight loss, foul-smelling stool, seizures, edema, and a painful skin rash. " Shame these are the only symptoms they list. I never had diarrhea (I was constipated), did not have weightloss (I gained too easily), and never had the others listed. It is a good article...

    You had a positive biopsy, you went on the diet, you started feeling better, you went off the diet, now you are sick again. Get back on the diet, give your body 3 years to heal, then stay on the diet!! By all means, if it will make you feel better, get a second opinion. Let us know what the second doc says. Make sure he does a biopsy, don't just talk...

    I agree with Richard, except I use bite-size Tostitos chips. I like pizza crusts thin and crispy, and this suits me just fine. I use the microwave to melt the cheese on top.

    I sprinkle ground flax on my food for more fiber.

    I used to use the same pans as my family, until I spent a month sick because of it. Now I have separate pans, just for me. Other than that, I cannot convince you, you will have to try it and see for yourself.

    I have definitely missed something, as I don't even know what the Clan Thomson's list is. Any links to it?

    Don't be afraid to ask us any questions, even gross ones. We have all been there at some point in time. If someone does flame you, ignore them. They could be having personal issues of their own.

    Yes, it does sometimes make you crave more. Allergies can do it, too. Something about eating the offending food makes you feel temporarily better after an accidental ingestion, so your body craves it, trying to relieve the symptoms. It is just like narcotics. You have to quit eating the stuff, and go through detox all over again. Misery, I know.

    Ahh, that is nice to know! Thank you!

    I'm not Susan but I do mix my own flours. I use equal amounts of garbanzo bean flour, potato starch/flour, corn starch, and tapioca starch for cookies and cakes. For pancakes, I leave out the potato.

    I use McCann's Irish Oatmeal.

    Doctors seem to think that we don't know anything. When my gallbladder went bad, I kept telling my doc that it needed to be removed. It took 3 months and a lot of harping and nagging on my part to get in to a specialist. It was removed, and the autopsy on it showed that I was right. Your mom will have to keep on to her PCP, it is her body and her health...

    To quote Vincent, I refuse to live my life in fear. When I finally got a biopsy with a positive diagnosis, I was almost healed. I will avoid known and suspect items, but I use wheat flour and breads in my house for the rest of my family, so even food I make at home would have to be labelled "made in a facility that processes wheat." I have to eat to live...

    Bleu cheese is made with bread, all brands are no-nos for us. I don't know about the dipping sauces.

    In thinking about your question, Carrie, I would have to say yes, we should all avoid those products. However, I have many food allergies, and I can honestly say that some of them mimic the symptoms of gluten contamination, so how do I know that your reaction is strictly gluten, and not a latent allergy or intolerance? That is the whole problem with celiac...

    Congrats! The actual work is up to you, but we are here to offer support and advice!

    The fat thing would explain why 8 ounces of whole milk stopped the hunger, but it took 16 of the 2%. I did hear on the news that a lowfat diet did nothing to stop heart disease. I think that when my 2% is all gone, I will start buying whole again. Thanks for the info!

    " Prior to having it, I looked at the nurses and asked "If you're going to use the same tube, could we please do my upper part first?" Let me tell you, these people have no sense of humor They just stared at me, while I was giggling as they were putting the mouthguard in my mouth & they started putting the tube in!" I got a good giggle out of it...

    Those are the times I use yoga. I don't need a lot of energy going in, but I feel much, much better afterward.
