    Cooking gluten stuffing in the turkey could make you quick sick. The turkey will be contaminated. I've been making variations of the gluten free stuffing recipe below ever since I was diagnosed and everyone always loves it. At Thanksgiving dinner this year, everyone loved it and said that they couldn't tell the difference between my stuffing and gluten stuffing...

    Most people with celiac disease are temporarily lactose intolerant until they are on the gluten-free diet. Gluten antibodies destory the tips of the villi in the small intestine which contain the enzyme to break down lactose. So whenever lactose is ingested, the person gets really sick because they can't digest the lactose. Within time on a gluten free diet...

    Casein is in everything dairy. Most lactose free products have casein in them and most margerines have whey in them. The best thing to do if you are going to try this, is avoid all dairy products and read ingredients on everything else. Whey is one term that you have to watch out for in ingredients lists. For dairy replacements, I drink orange juice fortified...

    My typical reaction is: Brain fog within a few hours, this lasts for days Skin outbreaks within 12-24 hours Bm problems within 24-48 hours Upper abdominal stomach pain within 3-4 days

    From reading your posts I would guess that your problem is dairy. If I were you, I would try going 100% casein free for a few weeks and see if that helps. This means reading lists for dairy especially chips, margerine, candy, gluten-free baked goods, ect. I found that going dairy free made me feel sooooooo much better. I hope you feel better soon.

    That is probably the best thing to do. I often decline foods that people say are safe, even though it may hurt their feelings. It's just not worth it for me to chance getting sick. If you aunt insists on doing something, then maybe suggest buying something that Ella likes in a package. Like gluten-free cookies or something for desert.

    For me that was normal when I first started the gluten free diet. I went through that for about 1 year on the diet. I am fine now and only get like that when I get into gluten or dairy.

    In response to your first question, I would suggest getting the celiac blood panel and/or an intestinal biopsy. Do you know what tests he ran? Did you have a small intestinal biopsy? Not all doctors run a celiac panel. My doctor only ran the tTg blood test on me which is highly specific for celiac disease and I also had several biopsies done.

    I actually don't eat cereal for breakfast so I wouldn't know. When I do eat cereal, I eat the Enviro Kidz gluten free stuff and I like that. Is there anything else that he likes if you can't find it? How about, Gluten free Waffles (I find these in the health food section) with syrup Toasted Kinnikinnick bread with peanut butter or jam Scrambled eggs...

    That makes total sense and I think you've made the right decision.

    Wow You have awesome friends! Happy Birthday

    I believe that most doctors only learn about the "classic" symtoms associated with celiac disease in medical school. However, there are literally dozens of symptoms and some people don't even get symptoms at all. In either situation (symptoms or no symptoms), intestinal damage is done. Here are a list of symptoms: Open Original Shared Link

    In these situations, I usually help make a turkey dinner at home first and then bring leftovers to other get-togethers. I don't trust other people who aren't familiar with celiac disease to make me safe food and I don't expect others to learn about it and what to do and what not do. So to avoid the hassle, I just bring my own food.

    That is probably the best approach. She really does seem to react badly to wheat/gluten. And Jnkmnky is right, most people become more sensitive to gluten over time. My reactions to gluten are way worse then they were before I started the diet.
  15. Carriefaith
    I'm not offended at all I learned everything from reading a lot of various information on celiac disease such as books, web sites, pamphlets, scientific journal articles ect. Here are some articles that may interest you: Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared...

    I highly doubt that she had a virus, her reactions sounds like a food reaction. If you were to do a scope your daughter would have to eat a lot of gluten for at least 3 months, which may be out of the question if gluten affects her so badley. My guess is that she has celiac disease, a gluten intolerance, or a wheat allergy. To help determine this without...

    I actually didn't know that you were writing a book! Good for you Here are some of my favorite recipes, Blueberry Smoothie 1 cup frozen blueberries 1 1/2 cups Vanilla So Good Soy milk (or other equivalent) 1-2 tablespoons honey 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (optional) Mix everything in a blender Tuna/Chicken/Turkey Salad Sandwiches...

    Same here

    lol Of course a pizza will do more damage than a crumb, but a whole bunch of crumbs will add up! So, you must be 100% gluten free. And Welcome to the board!

    Here are some recipes from Breaking The Vicious Cycle (I shortened the wording in some of them) Honey-Garlic Chicken Wings 2 lbs chicken wings 1 tablespoon butter (or another equivalent) 1/4 cup honey 1 teaspoon grated lemon rind 1 tablespoon lemon juice 1 garlic clove, crushed salt and pepper to taste Put the wings in a baking...

    Spaghetti squash noodles are made directly from the squash! Crazy but it works. Cut a spaghetti squash into 2 and boil the pieces for like 10-15 mintues. Then, use a fork to scrape down the inside of the squash to create noodles! Then you can pour your sauce on top! I should go to bed right now, but when I have time I will post some recipes from the book...

    I eat the Plain Quaker rice cakes with no problems. I've never heard of Kingsmill bread products or Kraft Rice Thins. Tell him to go to a BIG Zares if he can find one They have a grand gluten free section. That's where I went for food when I was in Ontario. Sobey's carries gluten-free food as well.

    First of all, I'm sorry that you are getting sick at work And I agree with Nadia, I think that they will smarten up once a doctor is involved. Good luck.
  24. Carriefaith
    I'm glad to hear that your daughter is doing well on the casein free diet I am on a gluten and casein free diet and I don't find it that hard either. I hope your daughter continues to do better.
  25. Carriefaith
    Yeah, you probably just got someone who was having a bad day or someone who doesn't know much about their labeling policies. Kraft is a great company for people with celiac disease becasue they will clearly indicate gluten in the ingredients. I love Kraft
