  1. Great tips. Another that us moms use is to freeze a juicebox and use it as the icepack. Same with applesauce cups.
  2. I just want to share some thoughts and see what you all think/do since I know there are a number of people here who are casein and soy free in addition to gluten. Dining out for me has been a real comedy of errors lately and has gotten ridiculous. The waitstaff, despite their best efforts get a bit overwhelmed and I just don't enjoy the experience. I get...
  3. Not too much drama I think. No need to panic, certainly, be calm and be wise and follow up with an allergist and testing. What was described are classic allergy reaction and the poster reported multiple symptoms and reaction multiple times. Anaphylaxis can start in ways we don't generally hear about and would not expect. Allergies can progress. I have an...
  4. You should check the oils in the dressing and fries and see if they have something in common. I react to soy and sunflower oils(allergy).
  5. I am latex(natural rubber) allergic and spandex burns my skin. No jeans, bras etc. with spandex for me anymore. I have to search out 100% cotton with no elastic straps, bands etc.
  6. I developed an allergy to flax You could have an allergy, an intolerance or it could just be irritating to a sensitive/damaged Gi tract. Many things like seeds(including things like tomato seeds), nuts, corn and such can be irritating/difficult to digest.
  7. Check Asian markets. We've used National/Panasonic for decades. It is the workhorse of our kitchen. The newer models are investments but they really pay off. The only reason we got a newer one after more than 10 years on our old one was because the newer one was given to us and had a few more functions. Our old one was still going strong. I add veggies, stock...
  8. Canned foods can contain things in the lining and sealing of the cans that can be irritants. Those who are severely latex allergic report that some cans contain latex(natural rubber). I rarely eat canned goods but had some super cheapo canned green beans a few months back and had burning mouth I am latex allergic. I didn't call the MFR. to confirm that's...
  9. It's not a lot of gluten but you could make sure you are eating things like regular non-gluten-free soy-sauce, chicken broths and soups with wheat in them . There are some WASA or Bran a Crisp crackers or the like that are LC and made with rye so they are not-gluten-free. Even Dr. Bernestein(LC diabetes diet advocate)allows those on his plan as they have...
  10. Sorry to stray from the topic a bit but I'm not sure what to think of the fact that housecleaning services fall in the same price range of private ESL/English Tutors... Scratching my head wondering what benefit there is to my degree and 10+ years of experience...and these days so many people don't even want to pay over $10 per hr. I got $13 per hr. when...
  11. Yes, don't dismiss these symptoms. Forgive me if I've already mentioned this in previous conversation, but if you work in an environment where latex gloves are used, especially powdered, your symptoms could be latex allergy. I have one and I can get immediate runny nose and red eyes etc. just from walking in the room. I still easily ignore the runny nose...
  12. Store flax in the freezer to keep it fresh. I use my coffee grinder to make oat flour or quick oats. I only buy rolled oats.
  13. Numbness and excess body fluids can be part of allergic reactions. I get numb fingers when I touch one of my allergens. I get not numbness, but burning tongue when I ingest a few of my allergens. I get runny nose or mucus build-up in my throat or lungs when I am exposed to one of my allergens.
  14. Enjoy life uses flax in a number of their cookies. I am flax allergic and would react like you did. I worry about CC with enjoylife and another comany that uses flax in some products but not others. Haven't contacted either. I am also allergic to buckwheat. I get D from food allergies. Skylark, I am now allergic to corn and tapioca and potato so not...
  15. Here's my opinion. People who have eczema have allergies, whether they be environmental or food and the allergies trigger the eczema so those who have this bad reaction to the vaccine may have unknown allergies to the ingredients. Seems to me the standard treatment for eczema is to say here's some cream, use this, that's it. My son's first allergist had eczema...
  16. Those are actually very good descritions and I am many here totally know what you are talking about regarding BM's. Take acidophilus or any probiotic. It'll help get things in good shape right quick.
  17. Glad you are finding something that works well for you. Next time try putting the flour blend and coco powder together through a fine mesh sieve or four sifter. It may help blend it bettter and elimiate those specks.
  18. I make a variety of salads for lunch so that I don't have to cook. Salad greens with the following combos as toppings: chickpeas olives tuna(soy free) olive oil and red wine vingar, salt and pepper, a bit of dijon mustard if you can tolerate it and herbs of your choice like oregano canned chicken breast meat or deli turkey chopped crisp fried...
  19. Well, there you go, you can give him the safe yogurt for breakfast. Sometimes we have to think outside the box and try other things for breakfast that are not traditional. Any dairy is good for B. Cheese, yogurt, some breakfast meat, fruit. My son and I have baked(microwaved) sweet potatoes/yams for breakfast-a dash of cinnamon and butter, or maple syrup...
  20. Good question. I've been thinking about this. Chili's has a soy allergy menu. I would have to double check but I am thinking their salmon may have soy oil.
  21. How old is your little boy? That may help us in recommending foods. You don't need permission from a dietician to start. Take a deep breath, relax and start your journey. It is a journey, a process, not a test, so no failing marks. Start with simple, fresh foods that are already, naturally gluten-free-meats, fruits, vegetables, potatoes, rice etc...
  22. This site may help Open Original Shared Link I recently tried this recipe for pancakes and it was good! Be sure to buy certified gluten-free oats. I but the rolled and then use a food processor to get quick oats or a coffee grinder to make oat flour. Hain sells a corn-free baking powder. It had potato starch instead of corn. Open Original Shared Link ...
  23. Eric I will also advise that you eat some meat or eggs. I was a vegetarian wannabe most of my life and stayed away from meat a lot but my body functions SO much better on it. I saw your earlier reply and understand. Just adding my voice and vote . Adzuki(if you can get non-sugary preparation) and quinoa may give some protein. Quinoa is supposed to be...
  24. I think you should get in and get a general check up/evaluation regardless of the gluten issue. We can often have other this out of balance as a result of the damage that gluten does to our bodies. My DH had a sudden bloody nose this year, turns out that is a symptom of high blood pressure. His was quite high so it brok the little blood vessels in his nose...
  25. I used to be quite careful but these days with SO many issues...I hear ya, I remember paying more attention to those things. I've seen it. Well, if someone could put together a list of safe/recommended souces-PM if you are not comfortable with posting. I'll look into it.
