Have you tried adding some brown rice flour and other whole grain flours to the mix? It's a good idea to have protein with the bread too, it will help balance out the rate of digestion so it doesn't all hit the bloodstream at once.

Hi Jerry, My husband also has low vitamin D and we suspect it is the cause of his osteoporosis. Your brother may need to have his bone density checked too. My dh is also taking the large doses of Vit D. Malabsorption of fat adds to it with low cholesterol. It requires a certain cholesterol compound in the skin for the body to make Vit D from...

Hi, I am gluten, casein, and soy free as well. The only margarine I can use is Fleischmann's Light, in the tub. Although the package says contains soy, I spoke with the company. It s made on the same lines as their other margarines which all contain soy. They clean the line in between, but cannot guarantee that there isn't a trace of soy cross...

Thank you very much! I did find a dermatologist listed on the Phoenixceliac.com website in Scottsdale, and am passing that info along to the mom. Thanks so much!

Hello everyone. I've been a member since 2004, just not very active. I need help for the child of a friend. This little boy is 5 years old, and has terrible exzema. The mother says he showed an allergy to wheat from a scratch test when he was three. Doctors told her not to take him off wheat. He's been on steroids to suppress the rash. He just came...

I wanted to share what sometimes helps me with the pain under the ribcage. I also had my gallbladder out several years ago, it was not working, no stones but report after surgery said chronic inflammation and infection. When I have that pain, or indigestion even, I eat about 1/2-3/4 cup of organic UNsweetened applesauce. There is something about the malic...

My husband was diagnosed with advanced osteoporosis at the age of 45. He had elevated parathyroid hormone as well. The reason we found out was that he broke his ankle just walking on the sidewalk in front of our house. No trip, fall, stumble, nothing. We knew there hadn't been enough trauma to break a normal bone, but it took several months to convince...

Hi, Tapioca does that to me, makes my mouth burn for a long time. It is in many gluten free mixes. I hope you find the answer, it's no fun having that sensation.

Hi, While it may be strictly from a reaction to gluten, you might give some thought to watching him while he is asleep. Does he snore? Does his sweat have a smoky sour smell? Are his covers all pulled out and does he move alot in his sleep? These could be signs of sleep apnea, and it does occur in children. If you notice him not breathing for more...

Hi Liza Jay, I am new to the forum so am not as knowledgeable as many here. But I think it would be wise to let the doctor rule out anything else with the ultrasound and perhaps a biopsy. One thing I thought I would mention...you say you have been recently glutened and are losing weight. I was recently diagnosed with gluten sensitivity and casein...

Wow mouse, sounds like it was in the nick of time for you. I am glad that you got the diagnosis in time. It must have been very scary. I can see why you didn't hesitiate. I hope you are feeling alot better now. At the moment my husband is seeing a doctor at an osteoporosis clinic...the name starts with a V but I can't remember the whole thing. She...

Thank you all for the warm welcome and the great advice. I know we have to do it, and we have already gone through the pantry. It's just that I hadn't expected the results I got.... My husband has always had trouble with wheat, and we basically did the enterolab expecting him to have a celiac gene. I had the test on myself too just to see. I've had...

Hello, I am new to the forum and would like to say Hello! I have been reading the forum for a few weeks, and learned so much already! Now hubby and I are going to go gluten/casein free after getting our Enterolab results on Wednesday. I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed...he wants to start already...I haven't quite adjusted yet. Anyone have any advice...
