    You can just do airtight containers if there are not too many large quantities. Abasic rule would be to freeze anything with high fat content. Basically, to do it for the longest storage, I would freeze all flours (brown rice, soy, garfava, sorghum, buckwheat, chickpea, millet, quinoa, amaranth, other bean flours), but white rice flour and I would dry store...

    I agree with JennyC. I believe it is Bette Hagman's Featherlight mix. Here is a quick and nice tasting cornbread Gluten Free Cornbread 1 c. corn meal 1 c. featherlight flour mix

    I react to casein in this way as well. It causes asthma symptoms in my 3 year old although she tested IgE negative.

    In my area of Canada, the doctors are mainly practicing reactive (not proactive) medicine and using drugs. I did not wait for a diagnosis for my daughter (age 3 in June) because of this. I do not think we have pinpointed all of her intolerances and even though my doctor thinks I am doing a good job and has no qualms about me having her on a gluten free...

    I am currently breastfeeding my third child and did not go gluten-free until we figured out some thing with my 2 year old just after this baby's birth. This one is no problem. DD2 had all kinds of weight gain issues, asthma, etc. and I had to go on domperidone to increase milk supply. She has gluten intolerance - I did not get a diagnosis, but took her...

    This is soooo funny. I haven't been on in a while and came on to check out the relationship between dental caries and celiac. I DO have a Ph. D. in Chemistry specializing in biochemistry. I DO have a family with dietary intolerances (gluten, dairy and at least two of us have soy intolerances). I am currently on maternity leave from my position which is...

    I have been making a chocolate pudding modifying this recipe Open Original Shared Link. I have not bothered with the optional stuff as we find just having the 1/4 c cocoa makes a rich recipe. Since we are dairy free as well, I have tried this with straight almond milk and 1 cup almond milk/1 cup rice milk. Next I will try rice milk on its own.I have not...

    Have you thouhgt about going dairy free for a while. This may soound a bit odd to you, but a recent study showed that 50% of celiacs have a problem with casein. I beleive this is a much higher number of people than those actually practicing a gluten-free diet. If you are milk intolerant (asymptomatically - I was asymptomatically gluten intolerant), this...

    I'm so sorry for your loss. Just wondering - do you drink a lot of milk or use a lot of soy?

    We slowly switched over the whole family to gluten-free upon realizing that my children had it (I was the last hold out). I finally switched when I got a massive amount of gluten and my daughter had a reaction to it from breastfeeding! I have had a chance to challenge it (3 crums of cake ) and reacted quie substantially so it looks like I have the same...

    After taking gluten out of hubby's diet, he is now able to tolerate milk with lactose intolerance issues. However, watch for casein intolerance as we find after several months of adding dairy back into my daughter's diet she is showing problems again. Go light and build up. For example, my daughter can tolerate yoghurt in small amounts, cottage cheese...

    Go for it! When I put dd6 on a gluten-free diet, I did not go to the doctor. We had my hubby gluten free for a month or so and we were eating very little gluten over the 9 day Christmas break. Our doctor doesn't really even consider celiac - would only if I pushed it! DD did not complain about stomach aches much during that time - which she had done...

    I'm looking for a post I saw, so I am going through old posts with the search eczema and I saw yours - have you taken your child off dairy? My daughter had chronic constipation on dairy - it is seen with milk intolerance but only ~20% of the time so not generally accepted - there is literature on it as well.

    I know this is an old thread, but I will add my two cents worth anyway. Before my last dauhter was born I was very gluten light i.e. I owuld have it occassionally out, but not have it at home. My daughter 2 seemd to be doing okay. I had muffins/toast/cereal (i.e. major gluten - I did not request gluten free) the hospital when the baby was born after having...

    I have mild eczema, but am dairy light and know that it is dairy related so am in the process of going dairy free in my house - we all are as I am the main cook - we are already gluten free. Get your daughter involved. Please PM me for some yummy recipes - I tried the chocolate cake recipe from Special Diets for Special kids yesterday and everybody loved...

    First thing and I believe you have chosen to do this - trust your child! He was avoiding gluten for a reason! Other people will show an unusual craving for it! Second thing, doctors really do not know very much about celiac and it is not well explained in terms that they reliably believe in. As I am doing research I see books written by parents that have...

    Thanks so much for your post. My 6 year old is gluten intolerant and while the aches settled down for a while, she otfen wakes up with her "tummy on fire". It is generally localized near her navel and now you have given me something to think about. We have also noted she is milk intolerant (we actually noticed before gluten that she can tolerate small...

    Just wondering - when you started noticing multiple allergies and celiac, had you been on antibiotics in the previous six months?

    Thanks so much to srokie for her initial posting in this thread. I have read most of the posts and they interest me very much. We all seem to have a mistrust for doctors of any type. It is my experience that MDs and Ph.Ds both do not or cannot know everything about every condition. However, the training for MDs in North America is more of "let's treat...

    Is there any possibiliy your daughter has a yeast infection i.e. thrush? Has she ever been on antibiotic? Have you tried probiotics at all? Did the rice cereal have any dairy?
  21. kirbymom
    Fantastic!

    First, how is your daughter doing on the diet and is she intolerant or does gluten cause anaphylaxis? Does she see the results - feeling better, no diarhea, etc, decreased stomach pain, etc.? If she were glutened and ended up ill on the trip, it might not be a whole lot of fun. It's a bit less embarassing to eat different food than to need to be in the...

    Did your son have trouble with dairy as well as gluten???
  24. kirbymom
    I understand your excitement!! We self-diagnosed as this is not something the doctor looks for and my 2 year old has gained 6 lbs and 4 1/2 inches in the last several months! Isn't it great not to be worried about your children all the time?

    Where do you all get your coconut milk and how expensive is it? We are going dairy free in the near future and I am trying to find out as much as possible now. We are also planning on trying dari-free with my 2 year old. The 6 year old will drink PC organics Rice milk (cheaper than Rice Dream and no gluten!). The 2 year old does not like Rice milk and...
