Ok, so you have all talked me into it. I went and got a bread machine tonight. HELP?!?! lol I saw the recipe, and the suggestions of other things to use as ingredients, instructions on using certain settings.etc. So if anyone else has any other suggestions before I dive into trying this thing out, PLEASE let me know! Thanks! P.S. I assume the bread...

With her being pre-diabetic we have to watch the sugar content of everything, as well as fruits and vegetables that break down as sugar in the body. Typically before her dx, dinner would be things like lasagna, steak or chicken with a flavored rice dish, and vegetables, beef stews, chili, fried chicken, stir fry with vegetables and pizza every now and then...

I'm glad that she likes vegetables but we still have to do things in moderation because she's pre-diabetic...

I do agree that Dr. Salt is a good dr to see, although I think I've been to every single GI dr in Columbus. As of now all of them have given up on me and are sending me to Cleveland Clinic Feb 2nd. It's a long haul but I heard Dr. Timothy Rice there is outstanding. I have my own GI issues, but not celiac. My daughter does have celiac and it has become...

My 11 yr old daughter was diagnosed with celiac about 2 yrs ago. I was stunned as it was an accidental finding while being treated for acid reflux. I left the dr office that day feeling like I had a totally different child. Since then it has been a tremendous struggle, as I'm sure it is for others dealing with celiac. I'm a single mom and my only income...
