    You are correct, they really don't understand, but it is not because they want to be cruel (in most cases). If you were them, you really wouldn't understand right off the bat either. So don't let your feelings get hurt. You are just learning about it yourself. I do just take my own food and go to what ever function people are having. I don't want...

    You would need to read about the studies, and not just assume that it is all about eating gluten. I could care less about eating gluten ever again in my life. I have been gluten free for almost 3 years now without a problem. I rarely eat out, and can cook anything I desire to eat gluten free. In spite of eating gluten free, I am being assaulted...

    Personally, I would not be trusting others to make gluten free food for me. There are very few people - 2 that I can think of, that I would trust cooking for me. Other people have tried, and managed to make me sick in the process. Even if they get the recipe right, they often cook in contaminated pans/bakeware. It took me months to learn the gluten...

    Actually, I don't know a lot. I have just read some articles online. Here are a few articles you can check out. They are doing studies with hookworms for celiac disease, allergies and asthma, MS, and chron's disease. These are just a few articles that I found.

    Actually, the hook worms are being studied as a solution to a variety of autoimmune diseases. For those of us that suffer from a variety of autoimmune effects, the hook worm may very well be a real godsend. I might not consider it just to be able to eat gluten, but I sure would consider it to get control of my body again.

    I agree with the possibility of a gluten intolerance diagnosis. Your doctor may not be comfortable diagnosing you with celiac disease with no objective evidence, but he might be willing to diagnose you as gluten intolerant. If you have always had the rash in the past that he has seen, and now it is gone, that would be objective evidence and you need to...

    Here is a very good article about H. Pylori and the treatment for it. Open Original Shared Link

    I like them both, but the multigrain is my favorite. I have never eaten so many sandwiches as I do now. What a blessing this bread is.

    I would think that you could avoid contamination in all of those cases by using caution or a lid. If the boiling water is splattering over in to the other pan, then yes, you could get contamination cooking pasta in seperate pans on the same stove. However, if you make sure there is no splatering, it should be ok. I would put as much separation between...

    Sorry for your husband's problems. I hope he will mend quickly. Progresso has several soups that are gluten free, such as clam chowder, chicken corn chowder etc. There is a recent list here on the board. glutenfreeforum discussion Gluten free mac n cheese would be good. I make my own, but some people like Amy's. Potatoes topped with cheese and...

    Tetracyclines can be a great anti-inflammatory agent. I am currently on Doxycycline 100mg twice daily. I have been on this dose since May of this year. It is not uncommon to use this medicine for inflammatory issues. I was put on it for an inflammatory condition of the eye. At the time, I was having lots of immune issues and inflammatory issues all...

    I periodically use the SCD diet to settle things down quickly. I don't stay on it full time, but I obviously benefit from it when I do follow it. I am one that has a tough time eating any grains.

    I am in a small town in NW Arkansas. We have a very limited selection of gluten free items here. I go to whole foods in Tulsa (2 1/2 hours away) and stock up. I order a lot of my flours and mixes from the internet. I primarily buy my frozen foods and bread from whole foods. I would love to have a whole foods or trader joes here. I feel really isolated...

    I can't tolerate the flours in Bob's Red Mill. I feel like I have been glutened if I eat too much of any gluten free flour, but I have an especially bad reaction to Bob's.

    And, I meant to add, that I had my celiac panel repeated recently and my numbers are in the 2 - 5 range, so I am not getting too much cross contamination. I also am very sensitive and do not feel like I am getting glutened at home.

    I know where you are coming from. I have almost the exact situation here. My husband is very good, but not as careful as I am. He does the very things you mention. Because he is generally very good, I let some things slide and don't say anything. However, I still protect myself as much as possible. My husband does the cleaning also, so it is tough...

    I agree with Mango - I would go with a totally gluten free house until they left. My husband went totally gluten free with me for a long time. Even now, all meals are gluten free, he has his own bread, crackers and cereal, and he eats gluten when we go out.

    First of all, I agree with others, you should not need to explain this to a friend. Secondly, your friend needs to brush up on physiology to fully understand what is happening in your reaction to gluten. The issues created are at the molecular level, and it is the proteins of gluten causing the problem. Since it is an immune response, the smallest...

    I have definitely gained weight since going gluten free. Moreso the past few months, but I am just now feeling really good and my doctor says it will level off and I may even lose a little once my body has healed.

    The problem is that you are too young to be having osteopenia. Your doctor wants you to see someone that deals with the disease more often and knows more about it. You could probably benefit from further testing. I am in my 50's and have severe osteoporosis. I was found to be extremely low on vitamin d. I still don't absorb calcium well, and have a...

    I have also been on a sandwich binge since finding this bread. I love both kinds. My problem is that I can never find more than one loaf at a time. I asked the store if they only put out one loaf at a time, because that is all I ever see. Well, actually a lot of the time they are out completely. Now that I know I love it, I may just have to try ordering...

    Glad to hear the patty melt came out good. I have not made one yet. I have the bread, onions and hamburger, but somehow I missed the suggestion by Wolicki to use the caraway seeds. So now I will wait until I have those too.

    I have never, ever even considered cheating. Anytime I have a real craving for something, I figure out how to make it the best tasting gluten free version I can make. Oddly enough, lately I have been craving a patty melt. I plan to make it on Udi's bread and pretty much like Lisa suggested.
  24. WW340
    This is the one I use also. It really is not difficult, and soooo worth the effort. Cinnamon rolls have been the one thing that I get an intense craving for. These definitely solve the problem. It is impossible to keep the gluten eaters away.
  25. WW340
    Good luck. I have no answers or suggestions, but I wish you the best on your journey. Sometimes this celiac disease is just the tip of the iceburg. I have many medical mysteries yet to be solved. I am finally feeling much better, but it seems that things just keep surfacing. Keep us posted.
