    You can have Jennies coconut macaroons - High in capric acid + lauric acid - good acid for you. Source of MCT's for energy, sulfite free, wheat free, lactose free, gluten free, and soy free.... I don't think the bad bacteria like either of those acids listed above A good probiotic - I started with FloraJen3 pills, I put 1/4 tsp. FOS powder in a glass...

    My lower abdomen didn't seem to get better, I was always in some sort of pain with it. After about 6 months of this, I recently stopped dairy to see what would happen - I very rarely have this pain now... I miss dairy, but I love the pain free abdomen now. Since my dx'd with celiac - I have made some resent mistakes with gluten so I will stay off dairy...

    Oh my heavens...I don't know where to begin. For my profession I did in home parties for over 6+ years, In other words I worked for myself as a consultant of another company. My hubby would go to work, I would be home, he came home, I could go to work...and for about 4 hours I would be gone about 4-5 times a week.... great choice for me as I have been...

    I am not sure, I only know the jose cuervo, and Mrs. T are gluten-free for sure. IF there is any you want checked out see if there is a toll free number to call and ask. Find out what is used at the bar, perhaps they are using one of the safe ones. Most places use a Dailey mix around here, or a lemon juice with some simple sugar, the second of the two is...

    I agree with you - Tom's of Maine is great! I use the apricot that does not have fluoride in it - my dd does also, being fluoride free helps her thyroid. I recently called the company when that big toothpaste scare was out a couple of months ago, and they were very nice to converse with and helpful. I don't think I will ever switch toothpaste again. Just...

    Do you know if it is dairy free - the casin? I know that it doesn't have lactose. Is there a toll free number on the package to see if it is CF too?

    Just wondering what you did to get the dr to give a gene test??? I have taken my daughter to 5 different dr's and they flat out refused to give her the test!! ( I have the DQ2 gene, and DQ3 gene, and officially dx'd ) She is off gluten and has done so well, finally after 12 YEARS SHE finally slept through the night! She has Hasimoto's thryoiditis, but...

    I have had good and bad experiences in Mexico - I believe my celiac trigger was in Mexico ( I think Elizabeth from the view - her trigger happened in Mexico also.) Anyway, my bad experience was a very upscale resort, and did not eat off property. (Cancun - very bad experience) I had to go back to Mexico for business and dreaded it tremendously, Cabo San...

    I get so frustrated when I hear this.... and it recently has happened to me Given my terrible health history in the last few years...I want to have my children tested for celiac, my childrens pediatrican spent 15+ min telling me that "everyone thinks they have this, and are just jumping on the band wagon to be a part of it" I can't get the ped to examine...

    I just had 2 little GS come to the door selling nuts, candy, choc covered pretzels, candles, etc - (Our GS don't have cookie sales until Jan.) The packaging is official GS marked. I think they had a lot of options for people with celiac. I will read the can carefully, but DH will probably take a can to work, and DD will probably take the other can to school...

    Not sure if all threelac is made by the same company....but the page I found here is their quote - "ThreeLac and SIDE EFFECTS Since Threelac is not a medication, there are no side effects. You may experience cleansing symptoms such as rashes, headaches or constipation as the toxins exit the body. Oxygen Elements Plus, LHB or ACTIVE ENZYMES and fiber are...

    Someone told me that threelac has gluten in it, I wish I could remember which glutenous protein it is. It is suppose to rid yourself from "Bloated, headache, nausea, major fatigue" I would check to see what exactly is in it to make sure. Check to see how they grew the bacteria, was it grown on a barley base? But I am told that healing crisis would make your...

    As long as your stomach is up to citrus things...You can have a margarita mixed with Jose Cuervo - or Mrs. T's mix My stomach can not tolerate any thing like that anymore.

    It says "Apple Spread" On the jar - ( IT tastes like apple butter almost like I remember it when my grandma made it the old fashion way in a copper kettle) made by Woodstock Orchards - 100% Natural-Unsweetened Apple Spread Ingredients: Made from fresh apples and apple cider. Nothing else.

    After all this time the company just called me to inform me that the product IS gluten free and it is produced in a gluten free factory. WOW, almost a month went by, I haven't had any since just in case...... It is delicious and worth eating....now that I know I can!

    My hubby continues to remind me that Dr's have a license to "practice medicine".

    I have celiac disease, and my daughter has hashi's, and an obvious goiter, but the doctors have not given her any med's yet. We have stopped gluten for her, and she is doing soooo much better. Even the physical activity after effects are better. She has severe headaches, where she would see colors, otherwise known as migraines. Her headaches are very now...

    No, No, No, I do not take communion anymore ( , and I am Roman Catholic. Before I was diagnosed and I was in and out of the hospital so much I was taking communion every time I was in the hospital. Then during the night, I couldn't sleep, my blood felt like it was burning, and I was constantly telling the nurses - "I feel like I was poisoned" I was sick...

    For sure I would try and bake the dough a bit before adding any toppings or cheese - it doesn't taste doughy that way. I have been using chebe bread for my pizza and I pre-bake it before I put the toppings on. Comes out great - Infact my DH loves it, says it is better than regular gluteny thin pizza crusts You may want to try and spread the dough on...

    It was short and sweet - but to the point about a gluten and dairy free diet - More talking about it, means good news later for us! To learn more go on line at GMA Here is the direct link Open Original Shared Link</a> I think you can even post responses about it - Even a post about seeing more info on gluten free - or celiac disease

    The show is suppose to be about Autism and how it could possibly be reversed by diet - I know they will be talking about a gluten free diet - Not sure when it will be on this morning - Oct 15th - ABC Good Morning America Show - but sometime this morning!

    I just heard this on the news ---- Not only do we have to worry about gluten in lipsticks - now LEAD The report also mentions that the FDA allows a ppm of lead in CANDY too This is ridiculous

    I had to go across the boarder - my two doc's - gi and family doc - each wrote a note that I had to carry gluten free drink and food with me at all times. I only had a hard time leaving the us - every where else was fine. You can take the fresh fruit/veg's on - I don't think you can leave the plane with them - that would be fine if they are eaten on the...

    I still have my bad days, but I was like you for a long, long time. I still have set backs, and I think it is because I am still learning. I eliminated one type of probiotic that I was taking, and I got to feeling better. It did say it was free of all gluten, corn, dairy, soy, etc.... but since I stopped taking it, so much better. I am just taking the...

    I scored over 350 on those quizes for candida - My GI doc kept telling me that he did not believe in the candida - I sure believe in it. There are tests that your doc can run - blood, breath, and I believe even some skin tests. My doc refused to do anything but tell me to eat yogurt - that would fix it - He says yogurt fixes everything. I can't seem to...
