No, unfortunately My son got very sick eating from his camping mess kit which he hadn't used in over two years. But it probably hadn't been washed very well, either. I've done a lot of gluten-free baking- cheesecakes are a breeze. An almond meal crust is great or I save the crumbs from any gluten-free cookies and hoard them in a jar until I have...

Congratulations! I'm glad it turned out so well and that you had the courage to confront the issue. If you enjoyed spending time with him, it couldn't have been much fun for you to keep feeling sick. Definitely a keeper! I'm still trying to convince my husband that crumbs matter.

ARCHIVED Do You Automatically Test Your Kids?
hershey replied to Tritty's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
The only way that my son's problems were finally diagnosed is because my mother was positively diagnosed at age 72 last summer. She STRONGLY suggested genetic testing through Entero Labs for all her kids. When my genetic tests came back positive for both gluten intolerance and Celiac Sprue, I had both my children tested. I thought I had no symptoms, but... -
I use HDT ProBlend 55, either the Chocolate Fudge or the Alpine Vanilla. Both are gluten free, but contain a variety of protein sources including eggs, whey and casein. I have at least one shake a day and haven't had problems with this product. I had to sell several unopened cannisters of SAN Anabolic Infusion because it did contain gluten, although it...

Welcome SerahLily! I'm new here to. I just de-lurked

No, that's not so weird. It's a very predictable behavior but also one that you CAN combat by substituting other behaviors to relieve stress. If you are getting adequate fats in your diet with avocado and other naturally occuring sources, I doubt you're having physical cravings. Head cravings, yes. Believe me, I'm an expert on those! Until I read...

ARCHIVED I Think Something's Wrong With Me
hershey replied to lonewolf's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
LOL, if you live anywhere near me you can have the 5 loaves sitting in my pantry! I don't eat bread and my son absolutely refuses to eat any of the commercial gluten-free breads that I've optimistically bought. -
Anal Bleeding?
hershey replied to melrobsings's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I've had this too and went racing to the ER in a panic- literally. After colonscopy, GI doc told me I was totally clean but had a few small internal hemmorhoids. That was last summer. It's happened a few times since, and I've narrowed it down to times when I do long runs. For me, I don't think it has anything to do with celiac disease. Are you a runner... -
That was very interesting! Thanks for posting it, Moelle. I'm new here too, and was about to scream SOAP TOO?? What else is left? Good grief! OK, I've calmed down and am now relatively assured that the inexpensive "deodorant bar" type soaps that I buy are not making me or my son sick. Thanks for all the information on this forum...

ARCHIVED Anyone From Philly
hershey replied to Kenster61's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Hi! I live in the Malvern/West Chester area and was diagnosed last November along with my 16 year old son who is much sicker and having a lot more adaptation problems than I am. Is there really gluten-free pizza commercially available anywhere? Doylestown is quite a hike for us. Mel
