    My heart goes out to you. I also have had multiple miscarriages. My doctor told me I had a comproised uterus - realty was that I was a victim of physical abuse while I was pregnant (and when I wasn't). In 1999, I gave birth to a beautiful, precious son, who was two years later diagnosed with autism. (I was assaulted when I was 15 weeks pregnant with him...

    Queen Noor (I think it would be interesting to hear her story of cultural change), Lisa Beamer (I'd like to know how she is able to cope so well), and Dianne Keaton (because I find her work both heartwarming and heartbreaking.)

    I've had the procedure three times now, and I all that I remember is the nurse saying "now I'm putting the sedative in your I.V." then waking up feely relaxed. It doesn't hurt, honestly it doesn't. Fear of medical procedures is natural, but, believe me, this is painless. All the stuff about the complications can be said for virtually any procedure, including...

    Some of us have some strange stories as to how we came to know we are celiacs. I started the diet because of my autistic son - other parents recommended the diet for him. I did not feel that it was fair to put him on restrictions that I was not on myself. For years I had trouble with abdominal cramps, migraines, arthritis. Five days after stopping gluten...

    Courtney, There are several butter substitutes. I think the one that I have at home is Nu-butter. I will check and get a list of casein free products for you by tomorrow. My son loves the Panda Puffs cereals and bars. He can't eat anything with casein or gluten. A lot of the Bob's Red Mill products are Gluten-free Casein-free, including brownie mix...

    For Thanksgiving, I used Miss Roben's Annual Turkey Stuffing. You can get the recipe by doing a google search for "gluten-free stuffing". Google also lists other stuffing recipes -I tried the chestnut stuffing, but didn't like it. I grew up in Louisana, and we always had dirty rice instead of stuffing. It is rice, onions, peppers, ground sausage ...

    Marlene, He should make Boss of the Year! We had our celiac holiday party Friday night and one of the door prizes was this great gift basket from glutenfreegifts.com. They have several ready made baskets (including one for celiac kids!) and you can have a basket made-to-order. Compared to other gift baskets I've seen, they are inexpensive. Happy...

    Congrats! I am adopting a 3-year-old cat named Butch (I will change his name to Spats, the late beloved cat of one of my best friends0> When I saw your new addition, I thought he looked like a Morrie! Have fun! I really believe that pets are God's way of saving that He loves us in spite of us!

    Thanks, Tiffany. I've been buying a butter replacer for my son, I can't think of the name of it right now, and it works really well. Even my non-celiac, non-casein-intolerant friends can't tell the difference. Patrick has been eating Tings made from nutritional yeast and corn (Robert's American Gourmet) in place of Cheetos. They have an added benefit ...

    I was diagnosed hypoglcymic when I was pregnant 8 years ago. All of my siblings and my son are hypoglycemia. Both of my parents were diabetic. Unfortunately, both of them were hypoglycemic until their late 50's, then suddenly insulin-dependent diabetic. I will tell you that they were in Louisiana, ate almost everything fried, and my dad even put sugar...

    Hi, Cathy, My favorite carol is The First Noel. My favorite Christmas song is "Celebrate the Child" by Michael Card. Chorus goes: Celebrate the Child who is the Light Now the darkness is over No more wandering in the night Celebrate the Child who is the Light.

    Thanks! I can deal with almond milk, soy milk (rice milk is another matter), but I do like eggs. My dad (died of heart disease in 2001) was taken off eggs, and it was really difficult for him. My son couldn't care less about eggs (except the ones in oatmeal cookies), so it's not a problem for him.

    Please, please do whatever YOU think is best for your baby. I hate to sound sexist, but a mother always knows best. Trust your gut. The most important thing you can do in your life is protect your kids. I have an autistic son who is non-verbal, and I have had to trust my gut time and time again - and it has literally saved his life. Your husband may...

    Okay, in addition to the gluten intolerance, I have now been told that I cannot have casein. My son is autistic and doesn't consume casein, but I didn't know that I should avoid it as well. I can handle the almond milk, and even the soy milk. Does anybody know if goat milk has casein? What about eggs? I haven't tried egg substitutes, but I will now....

    ARK - Please stay away from sausage. I had to go to the ER after eating a gluten free biscuit with a sausage patty in it. The SAUSAGE had the gluten. Unless you grind the meat yourself, or go to a butcher who grinds it and does not use binders - DON'T EAT SAUSAGE!!! It's not worth the pain. I agree with you on your last statement - my 7 year old...

    Welcome, Marie! You might want to try Good Earth Teas. They are made in Palo Alto, CA, and there are some wonderful flavors. Regarding the MS, I was misdiagnosed with MS, then with lupus, then with RA. Symptoms did not abate until I went gluten-free. I went gluten-free and casein-free because my son is autistic and the Gluten-free Casein-free...

    Just remember that those who are rude are usually ignorant. Good for your friend for bringing ice cream.

    Hi, everybody, Earlier this week I had colonoscopy and endoscopy. My gastroenterologist found a suspicious nodule in my colon, and the results don't look good. Has anyone else had this problem?

    A couple of ideas that have worked for me: Put a pork roast in the night before - just the roast, nothing else. The next morning, add more fresh rosemary, carrots and yams. About an hour before it is ready, add a cup of fresh cranberries. Put a whole chicken in the night before. Next morning, add green beans, onions and almonds. I tried browning...

    Kibbie, My son had the same thing, and it stopped as soon as I quit using fabric softener. None of the creams worked.

    Did you guys get a dinner group going? I live in Laurel. I was diagnosed just a few weeks ago. The support group in Annapolis sometimes does lunch together, but I don't think I've heard about a local group getting together for dinner.

    Welcome to the world of reading labels and asking friends what they put in a casserole! It may seem overwhelming, but it is much better than feeling sick all the time. I grew up in nortwest Louisiana, (Bienville Parish, went to school at NSU) my siblings (2 celiac, all 6 hypoglycemic) are still there. I live in Maryland now. Be really careful...
