    Hey, I just noticed in your profile you have a child with a heart defect. My son was born with HLHS. How is your daughter doing and if it's o.k. to ask what does she have? My son is 10 now and is doing so much better than anyone ever expected including us!

    I grew up with my mom selling this so I'm very familiar with it plus I recently started doing the business as well. They do their best to be accurate and I'm not sure if you were sent the gluten statement, but they do say that they don't test for gluten so cannot guarantee gluten free, but will give you a list based on ingredients. Having said that I have...

    Thanks for replying. I guess the texture I'm thinking of is comparable to what regular flour would feel like. Very powdery with no grit whatsoever. I'm very nervous about spending so much without knowing for sure how the grind is for brown rice! I only found one place that would let me return it even after I use it, but it would cost $60 more than other...

    From what I can tell I think it is something that has juice or something added. I don't worry about wine either, but this seems to fall more in the wine cooler category. I was wondering if it had gluten because someone gave my parents a bottle and they both felt sick after drinking it. Could always have just been coincidence, but it did contain natural...

    Authentic foods superfine brown rice flour? I really want to order one, but have not been able to find anyplace to order it from that will let me return it if it's been used. If it turned out to not work for this it would be an expensive mistake so I'm really hoping someone here can help. I have a mill already, but it doesn't grind fine enough. Grinds...

    Not too disastrous, but when I took a bite of the stuffing I made it was slightly sweet! Had to think a bit, but I guess what happened was I made the bread from scratch and since I can't have lactose now I used almond milk and it changed the flavor a bit. That wasn't enough to affect it all so I thought some more and realized when I made the cream of chicken...

    I tried contacting the company, but the submission form did not work. Hoping someone here can tell me.

    Hey, I can actually answer this, LOL. I never watch Oprah, but I taped it because of the cleaners that were supposed to be featured. I was just watching it and he did say gluten allergy. He kept saying inflammation, but never mentioned that it was an autoimmune disorder. I really wish they had gone into more detail with the lady that had Fibro. I'm...

    I think I fall somewhere in between. I had bloodwork done in 2003 that was negative, but no total IGA was done at the time. Last year an NP recommended Enterolab and I tested barely positive, but the response to diet was dramatic and many issues which began 8 years ago when my daughter was born have resolved. We found that my youngest who we had started...

    ARCHIVED Stupid Doctor

    holiday16 replied to ~alex~'s topic in Doctors

    I can't believe that Dr. said that. I have 3 children one of which was born with a serious heart defect where half his heart is so underdeveloped it's non-functioning. No one ever suggested we not have more children and we were even told to not let this discourage us from having more! They were not able to tell us what caused it and the genetics of it...

    Tiffany, Just a follow up to my earlier post. I did a search for Fibro. and interferon and found this study: Open Original Shared Link Nice to know I wasn't imagining that the natural interferon helps ) I have not been very good with taking it these last few days and I'm amazed at how much more tired and achy I am in the mornings. I attributed...

    I was recently diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, but I resisted being diagnosed for years because I didn't want Drs. to just blame everything on that and I knew it did not explain everything. Once I was diagnosed with the issue with gluten everything that was left really did fit the Fibro. profile so I went in and was finally officially diagnosed. This was after...

    Thank you! I seem to be able to trace it down to lactose. I found this site which tells how much lactose is in different products and it correlates with the degrees of symptoms I've been having. Open Original Shared Link My worst reaction was after having some hot chocolate made from a mix and after seeing that website and finding out it's about...

    I seem to have a problem when I have anything made with milk, but if I have cheese it doesn't seem to bother me. Is there more of something in milk than cheese? I know I've seen it mentioned that hard cheese has less casein so could that be it? It's so confusing because dairy can take so many forms! I had a bit of milk in my coffee today and now my head...

    Does anyone know why the dairy issue would show up after being gluten free for a while? I just started having stomach pains again and it seems to be related to dairy. I've been gluten free for almost a year and never noticed a problem with it until recently. I'm cutting it out to be sure, but I'm pretty sure that's it as I think I had something yesterday...

    Another option for a supplement that I use is this: Open Original Shared Link It's what the NP recommended when my D was low and within a week I felt so much better. When I had my levels checked they were 21 on a scale of 20-100 and I was miserable. Since then the scale has been adjusted to recommend that 32 be the lower limit and below that you are...

    This can be so many things! Is your hair still falling out or has it stopped and you're just left with thin hair? I dealt with losing hair and thankfully even though my hair is very fine it's thick enough that it wasn't terribly noticeable except right at the front above my temples where I lost the most. I found that I was able to trace it back to 3 things...

    ARCHIVED Excema

    holiday16 replied to confusedks's topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    GLA is wonderful for Eczema. My daughter gets it on her face from certain foods and if we don't treat it right away it begins to weep and bleed and of course it itches. I'm always amazed at how fast the GLA clears it up. You have to make sure that it is from borage oil though since that is a more potent form. I've only used a particular brand so I don...

    Have to add my agreement to this. I tested positive with only an 11 and yet I react severly to gluten with mostly neuro. symptoms. I didn't have any idea how much my gut was affected until I went off of it. The NP kept asking me if my stomach hurt and I kept telling her no. I had gotten so used to it that for me it was "normal". Now that I'm better I...

    This is basically what I was asking the other day, but didn't get any replies so I did a bit of searching and basically what I found is that barley has a much lower gluten content than wheat. I was asking because I had accidentally had something that had been produced on the same lines as wheat products and was sick for 3 weeks. Then I accidentally had...

    if they might say anything about gluten. Nice change of pace that right at the top it says it's gluten free. Makes life so much easier when companies do that!
  22. holiday16
    depending on the source or is it the same no matter if it's from barley, rye or wheat? I'm wondering because I had two accidental ingestions about a month apart. The first was wheat and the second one was barley. The wheat was terrible and I was so exhausted with it and had the mental fog, shaking, depression etc. With the barley I had really bad intestinal...

    This was all very helpful! I think that what we'll do is go casein free and see if we can't try adding it back in at some point. She doesn't seem to notice problems with it, but I think that may change after it's totally out of her diet for a while. One thing I've noticed and I may be wrong, but there seems to be a tendency that the people with the...

    My daughter tested positive for gluten as well as the casein. The gluten I understand, but with casein is it a permanent reaction like with gluten or can you add it back in at some time in the future? Also, do you have to be as careful as with gluten? I know even the smallest amount makes us react, but I don't know if casein is the same way. Any help...

    Momma Goose, thank you for the suggestion. I added the product page for the supplement I was talking about to my profile as my website. I guess I could leave it there for a while so people can see what I'm talking about. I just really hesitated to link a business page to a site like this as that's really not why I joined the forum. Like I said in my...
