    I was diagnosed in 2004 after positive bloodwork and biopsy. I had an elevated AGA IGG and AGA IGA and some Anti-Reticulin (sp?) test that I don't think they do anymore. I was negative for the EMA test (which I believe is supposed to be the equivalent of the TTG). I can't remember who did my bloodwork...I'm pretty sure it was LabCorp. The GI said, based...

    Thanks for the reply!! Lisa

    Does anyone know if the Gwaltney Chicken Franks are gluten-free? I think they also say "Great Dogs" on the label. Thanks! Lisa

    Mariann - I was happy that they didn't make me sit in my gown in the general waiting area, but then I quickly realized that there was a lot of traffic in the area I was sitting! I felt rather foolish and I'm sure I looked ridiculous. I was just glad it was so quick so I didn't have to walk up and down the hall! I had to bring my purse and tote bag with...

    You guys aren't going to believe this....I was completely done within about 1 hour of starting...the stuff was speeding through me like a runaway train! There was no walking the halls for me. Just had to sit up on the table for 15 minutes is all. They didn't do any of those cool things like tilt the table or anything fun like that!! Just had to lay down...

    celiac3270 - That was nice of them to try and disguise the taste with chocolate! I used to watch Fear Factor when it first came out for the thrilling, daredevil stunts, and then they started focusing so much on eating disgusting things that I had to stop. I thought I was going to toss my cookies every time it came on! I think they should do a follow...

    Hi, celiac3270 - I'm not sure if you'll even see this message since it's been a few months, but I just wanted to say I'm very glad they found your problem and that I hope you have continued to do well since the procedure. I haven't spent as much time on this site as I used to and since I had read many of your earlier posts and troubles, I was very excited...

    Thanks, Paula! That looks yummy! I've been having a really hard time getting motivated to cook....although, in reality, that is nothing new. Even before Celiac I had trouble with that. I think having such a PICKY family has contributed to that. They seem to complain all the time even when I make things they like! Thanks, again

    Thanks for the info, Tiffany! I hate those pesky weevils...I remember them in regular flour when I was a kid. Blech! Lisa

    I was wondering if I can store my gluten-free Flours in my cabinet or if they must be either refrigerated or kept in the freezer? I have been really bad about buying a whole bunch and then I have hardly used them. Most are unopened and still in the cabinet. I have some potato starch and rice flour that I opened in November and they're just in the cabinet...

    Hi, Del - I was just wondering if you had any luck finding some sugar substitutes? I just replied to another post about Chocolate Cake that called for 2 cups of sugar and asked the same question. I don't do sugar-substitutes either and 2 cups just seemed like a huge amount of sugar! I've read some things in some of the Carol Fenster cookbooks about...

    Hi - does anyone have a suggestion for cutting the amount of sugar in this recipe? I don't use sugar substitutes (like Splenda), although I know they are popular. I'm looking for a natural substitute. Thanks!! Lisa

    Paula - Could you please post your salmon souffle recipe? I have some canned salmon sitting in my cabinet that I'd like to use!! Thanks! Lisa

    Mel - silly me... I forgot to mention that I also have trouble with meds. I've been gluten-free for 7 months and I still can't take vitamins. So far, I have done fine with the antibiotic I've had to take recently for strep, but I'm still terrified to try either Advil or Tylenol or anything else!!! I was originally mis-diagnosed with Advil-induced gastritis...

    Mel and Karen - That is very interesting about a possible link between endo and Celiac. I had my first lap in 2001 and then a lap in July 2003 for destruction of endo and my uterus-only was removed in Sept 2003. My uterus was enlarged and adenomyosis was suspected, but not verified in pathology. Mel - I am very curious to hear if your worst abdominal...

    Thanks!!! It looks really yummy! Can't wait to try it out! Lisa in NC

    FreyaUSA - can you please post that pineapple velvet cake??? It sounds yummy!! Thanks! Lisa in NC

    Jools - I just went to the website for those bars and it has "wheat grass juice powder" and "barley grass juice powder" in the ingredients. That doesn't sound gluten-free to me...how can they claim they are gluten-free?? Thanks Lisa in NC

    Thanks, everyone for your responses and suggestions!! I need to plan a trip out of town so I can get to the Whole Foods and look around. Usually, when I am there, I am racing the clock to get back to town to pick my kids up from school, so I just grab the usuals. Lisa in NC

    Terri - Yes, I definitely remember Tysons Corner! I used to work at the mall for a store called "Camalier & Buckley" before they went out of business. It is definitely a small world, that's for sure!! I'm glad you liked the Smart Beat. I haven't looked it up on the internet yet to see where I can get it, but I'll have to do that. I only eat...
  21. lisa922
    Well...I guess I didn't find out much...I just noticed that it has "artificial and natural flavors" and I know we're supposed to be careful with those, plus it has aspartame and I don't use anything with that in it. So...I guess it is out for me!! LISA in NC

    Terri - Thanks for the info!! I'm definitely going to buy some goat's cheese and see how my daughter and I like it. I tried to buy some more goat's milk over the weekend and the store only had two cartons that had both expired. ARGH!! I'll have to go back tomorrow and see if they received their shipment yet. I made a gluten-free pizza crust using...

    Terri - Can a person handle goat cheese if their villi are damaged? That is something that is confusing me!!! I desperately would like a substitute for cheese and have tried some goat's milk as an alternative for cow's milk when cooking, but haven't been brave enough to drink a glass or try goat's cheese. Also, do you know if the fat content is as high...

    Tiffany - Thanks for the info on the elimination diet!! I agree....it would definitely be tough on a child!!! Luckily, at this point, I'm only seeing one thing (dairy) that my 6-yr-old seems to be having trouble with. It's weird, too, because the times she has been affected the worst have usually been after she's had a stomach virus - it will take her...

    Tiffany - This may be a stupid question, but how, exactly, do you do an elimination diet? Obviously, by definition, you 'eliminate' things, but I guess I'm wondering how long you eliminate them for and then do you just track your symptoms once you add the food back in? My youngest daughter seems to have trouble with dairy sometimes, but then sometimes...
