I've been gluten-free for 5 years after years of being sick. I discovered the diet on my own and got tested after going gluten-free because I was not well informed back then. My blood test for celiac was negative and the biopsy was inconclusive so I don't know if I have celiac or if I'm just very, very gluten intolerant. I did a gluten challenge for the biopsy...

We're hosting thanksgiving and I'm trying to put together the menu. My nephew is dairy free so the entire meal will be gluten-free and dairy free. I'm struggling with gravy. I've tried making my own and for some reason it never comes out all that well but my bigger issue is that the people we're having over will be a little unsure of homemade gravy anyway...

My son is allergic to eggs and nuts. He was diagnose at 5 months and is now 9 months. He had a constant rash and ezcema and would spit up constantly until we figured it out. The reaction seemed to be pretty quick but after a few weeks of trying to take various things out of my diet we decided to get him tested since food allergies run in my husband's family...

Hi, I have a 9 month old so I'm dealing with some of the same things. I have celiac and like you plan to keep him gluten free for a while as well. He's also allergic to eggs and nuts so that complicates it further. Anyway, we use Earth's Best rice cereal and aren't doing any of the other grains. Both our pediatrician and allergist were ok with this...

My situation is a little bit different but I thought I'd chime in anyway. I am gluten free and my 7 month old son is exclusively breastfed. For the first four months of his life, he had ezcema and would break out in an awful full body rash. He also spit up a lot and was very fussy towards the end of the day. I knew he wasn't getting gluten but obviously...

First, congrats! Unfortunately, I don't think there's really a consensus on this. My situation's a little bit different. I'm the one with celiac disease and we have a 6 month old son. So, I was of course gluten free while I was pregnant and still gluten free while I'm now breastfeeding. I will tell you that my son was recently diagnosed with allergies...

Thanks! I made their bread last week with the egg replacer and it came out pretty good. I'll have to try the pancake mix.

I used to use Pamela's baking mix to make pancakes and they were so easy. Just add a couple ingredients and you're done. But, my son was just diagnosed with allergies to nuts and eggs and unfortunately, Pamela's has almond flour in it. I tried Arrowhead Mills pancake mix today and it was awful - kind of like eating chalk. I'm not sure if it was the mix...

Great, thank you!!

Not sure this got posted the first time...trying again.

Hi All! I have yet to find the new Betty Crocker mixes anywhere near me. My son is allergic to eggs and nuts so I need to check the ingredients first anyway. They're not listed online and when I emailed the company they of course said to read the ingredients. I'm trying to avoid going on a search for them if my family won't be able to eat them anyway...

I'm celiac and my son was just diagnosed with allergies to eggs and nuts. I'm breastfeeding so I need to eliminate these from my diet as well. I had been eating an awesome bread from the grainless baker but can't have that anymore. I have a few of the sandwich bread mixes in the house from Whole Foods and the gluten-free Pantry but you need to put eggs...

Interesting post. My senior year of college I studied abroad in Spain for four months and became extremely sick while I was there. I had been somewhat sick my whole life with stomach aches, dizziness, brain fog, etc but nothing compared to how bad it got while I was in Spain and after I came home. After I got home, I went to several doctors and had lots...

Thanks everybody. I totally agree that misinformation is dangerous. I don't think Ellen is celiac, I think she's just doing the diet to be healthier since she's also vegan. Writing into the show is a good idea. Like most of you, I worry that as this diet gets more mainstream, the risk of cross contamination will be even greater due to the lack of understanding...

Ellen Degeneres said on her show on Friday June 5th that she has been gluten free for two weeks and feels much better. The "expert" she has on talked about intestinal damage but didn't actually name celiac disease. They did mention rice pasta and some other foods.
