    I found it at that price at my Target a few weeks ago. I bought 10 boxes most of which I'm planning to send to my friend who is at a convent in NY. She said there are a seminarian and friar who both have celiac and when a cereal is donated that they can eat everyone gets so excited, LOL. When she visited last I sent back some gluten-free foods with her...

    My son has clubbing of his fingers and toes, but he was born with a severe heart defect. He has oxygen saturation levels in the 70's and 80's for the first 3 years of his life which is what led to the clubbing. It's caused by a lack of oxygen. If she has a heart mumur and from the symptoms you described I would get her in ASAP to make sure it's not heart...

    We found a good place to get a decent meal. There's a place called Grumpy's and they have BBQ Brisket and Pork. They make sandwiches, but you can get the meat without the bread. I was concerned about the sandwiches being made over the meat, but they said they don't do that. I guess they spoon out the meat into a container and they go get the bread to...

    Welcome to my life, LOL. I'm doing chelation right now and I've noticed tremendous improvements already. We have the reverse osmosis water purifier, air purifier etc. You're more than welcome to contact me. I'm sure I'll learn more as I go along. I'm supposed to get a filter for our shower as well. I think when I'm done I need to focus on my oldest...

    No feedback on that company, but I did contact Rainbow Light out of curiousity since they claim gluten free so I wondered if they tested. This was their response: For our products that state

    I finally got a reply back from Campbell's specifically on that soup and they said it is not gluten free although they do not specify why. What bothers me is aren't they supposed to be one of the companies that does not hide gluten? The label I have does not disclose any form of wheat or gluten so if it contains it then it was hidden. It had modified...

    I searched on this and what I found was a bit old so I wanted to double check before using it. It contains modified food starch and I know people say campbells does not hide gluten, but I'd feel better if I heard other people say they do o.k. with it before using it in a family meal with 4 gluten intolerant people. No desire to take the risk of making the...

    There's lots of discussion about mercury and fillings, but does anyone have information about other sources of mercury? I have never had the mercury fillings and my provoked urine test came back highest for mercury. I know fish oil supplements can be a source, but the ones I take are triple distilled to remove impurities and tested. I almost never eat...

    I used to use melatonin, but it would not work for me unless it was a slow release tablet. I tried the kind from the health food store and it was terrible. I think the sustained release ones I had were 2 mg. The effect was totally different. It's hard to find the sustained release ones though and you may have to order them on line. I finally figured...

    I have a Zojirushi, but I have to admit I have not used it for gluten-free bread. It just happened to be the one that I already had. I'll be interested to hear how it's worked for others. It is programmable, but I just find it easier to mix my bread and put it in the oven. I've been busy running around with the kids lately which makes finding the time...

    We did find as we did some work on the house that there were some mold issues which I've always suspected contributed to everything. When we pulled up the floor in the kitchen it was covered in mold underneath. Thankfully I was not home at the time and my dh was the one that had to treat the area. I did begin to feel better after that and I think that...

    I noticed that I get that after I have massages. The ones I get are really intense and are for an hour to an hour and half. I've had all kinds of testing done for kidney because I have unexplained water retention and for the last 8 years they've pretty much all keep coming back normal. The massage also pulls out some of my edema and I have to wonder if...

    Dh kept saying it reminded him of some chains breadsticks, but he can't think of whose. He finally concluded he thinks it was Dominoes. It really was remarkably close to real pizza. I think it would be good for trying to make something like the cheesy bread from papa johns and then making the sauce that you can dip it in. When I made pizza before...

    I posted about these a year ago for hot dog bun pans. I haven't done much with hamburger buns, but there are these cups that I've seen at krogers that might work. They're like custard cups, but bigger. Here's a link to the thread about the bun pans: Open Original Shared Link Paulette

    Never diagnosed officially with celiac, but over the past two years between me and insurance it adds up to about $13,000. I remember adding up a few years ago what it was up to and that came to about $20,000 so over $30,000 total when it's all said and done and that's probably conservative. My problems started in 1999 so that's about 9 years. Never had...

    I made this last night and it was amazing! Everyone loved it including dh who is not gluten-free. I usually make a super thin crust, but had been craving something a bit more normal and this was really good. The next time I may try to make it a bit thinner and make smaller pizzas and see how that works. I used a sauce recipe I found on recipezaar for...

    Rachel, You might find this interesting. I just got my test results back and they were elevated for mercury, but not by much. I guess if it's been there for a long time the test may show low, but the levels really could really be higher. Years ago when I was in Junior High my ankles and feet began swelling. My parents took me to an alternative med...

    I used to take a great iron and it's been one of my frustrations that it is not gluten-free. It has barley in it. Drs. would be amazed that it would raise my levels as quickly as it did and it causes no stomach issues. I gave some to my OB/GYN to try because she didn't even take prenatels because the iron made her so sick and she did well with these. ...

    Not sure how much it will help, but I have the same genes you do. Before going gluten-free I was having all kinds of issues many of them neurological. It started after I had my youngest dd 9 years ago and I was just diagnosed Nov. of 06 and have been gluten-free ever since. I had no other issues with food until a year later when dairy began to bother me...

    For the last couple years I've been trying different things and have gotten to the point where I feel almost completely normal. I don't have alot of time right now, but if you want to e-mail me at paulette@thehealthexpress.com that will remind me to reply back to you. It's been a long process getting to this point, but it's worth it. One thing I found...

    LOL, getting her to not "help" is more the challenge. Whenever I pull anything out to bake she's right there. I have APD so it can be a bit challenging as I'm trying to read directions and she talks non-stop ) I think we have a system down now where no one is allowed to talk when I mix together flours because if I lose track that's an expensive mistake...

    Very interesting to see these replys. I found this website about MCS which is worth looking at: Open Original Shared Link If you go to the end it talks about the possible link of it being related to the immune system which makes sense as one of the biggest things I noticed related to gluten was the effect it had on my immune system. I love that the...

    We just finally got our youngest over her last gluten episode and had literally just gotten her bowels back to normal when she comes home and says she forgot and ate a breaded piece of chicken. I'm not convinced that she forgot... She's reached a point on this diet where she's just really frustrated and I have to say I can relate and understand the temptation...

    When my mother had her testing done her results were very similar except she does have a celiac gene. I called Enterolab and when you have a borderline negative they recommend that you try the diet to be sure since it's borderline. My mother did the diet for over a year and noticed no difference, but she really wasn't having symptoms anyway. In her case...

    My dd is continuing to have accidents and she had about 4 last night. When she has gluten what essentially happens is she gets so constipated she gets an impaction and then the accidents are from the watery stool that slips around it. Just lovely. My dh gave her a glycerin suppository last night and within 5 minutes she had an enormous BM that was probably...
