    My husband just told me how much these things cost. All of a sudden I was excited about staying in my kitchen cooking my own. We also have a little family run business by the church that doesn't require a second mortgage to eat there.

    Between a variety of tests, all 5 of us show some wheat/gluten allergy/sensitivity/intolerance (among other things). So we all are now wheat/gluten free. It's a little strange but at least it is easy.

    Like the others have said, "keep it simple". You don't have to eat breaded items (I'm assuming frozen?). Buy the plain. A plain frozen fish or chicken strip cooks just as fast as a breaded one. I keep my double steamer on the counter with my rice cooker. Pop a couple veggies in and some rice. Do a load of laundry or something and come in and...

    We stay at the Hampton Inn when we travel. They have a fridge and microwave in the room. I don't know if we are lucky or if they set up by a 24 hour grocery on purpose. They have made traveling easy.

    Mexican places seem to be the easiest for my family. You may want to check any seasonings that they add on to the steak strips.

    I was told that it takes 6 MONTHS to a year to get the gluten out of ones system so I'm pretty sure 6 weeks will not cut it. While your conscience mind may have not felt improvement, it seems your body did and rebelled once things started building up a bit.

    Well, for starters, we avoid rush times. If we are going to celebrate Mother's Day by eating out, we will celebrate on a different day - a quiet day. We don't make things harder than it should be by playing with fate. We have an off-the-chart anaphylactic shellfish allergy. We do NOT go to seafood places and expect them to accommodate us. It doesn...

    HHmmmm -- it is probably a build up reaction but I would also consider some of the additives we have here How does a fresh, homemade bread work?

    (1) Don't forget about cross reactions. Some people have cross reactive allergies where you get an oral allergy-like symptoms from something that is similar to the primary allergy. Soy WILL trigger symptoms in those with wheat issues as will several other items. There is a list you can find from an internet search. Cross reactions don't happen...

    The first time we went gluten free, it took about 2 months to "settle in". Some other mood triggers the household had were casein (milk) and artificial colors (especially red) and artificial vanilla (vanillin). If it doesn't settle in, you may want to look into these.

    I hope so!

    Well, I'm glad you bumped this old thread. I always had a difficult time on hayrides, with fall decorations, even the little bit of hay in a Christmas scene. I'm not seeing a connection.

    Just like with gluten subs, you will not find one that tastes exactly the same. We like olive oil and the kids LOVE baked garlic as a spread on things. For baking I will use canned pumpkin or applesauce in place of butter. (prefer the first)

    I go to an applied kinesiologist that I found through a health food store. She knows more than any dr I have been to. She figured out I had a thyroid disorder, leaky gut and hypoglycemia. She is the one who urged me to get further testing because wheat/gluten is usually driving it with my list (longer than what I mentioned). Well, guess what showed up...

    I'm shocked at the prices of substitute flours. Has anyone ground your own rice to make your flour? I'm planning on experimenting since soy and most nut flours are out for us and I hate the taste of many on the rice subs. I want to try a mix of rice, coconut (for fiber and body) and maybe flax seed (for some binding/lift since we don't do eggs either)...

    I've been milk free much longer than wheat free. I cannot tell you how many people do not make the connection that cheese and butter are a milk product. I just have to go on about how appreciative I am, thank them but let them know that cheese and butter are milk products. I have also changed my language to "all milk products" instead of "milk". That...

    It is quite possible there are several in the family. We have 1 wheat allergic and 4 wheat sensitive (slow response "allergy") with possible celiac in the family history. The person reading our panel said since our patterns were similar there is a definite DNA link. One of the kids has to go in for blood testing so we are having them draw for a couple...

    Is your diet high in sugars or the processed gluten-free subs? This will "feed" the bad bacteria that the probiotics are trying to get rid of which will make a little "war" in your digestive system.
  19. Mom23boys
    Wow! She wasn't kidding when she said I had triplets. All 3 came back allergic/sensitive to milk, eggs, wheat/gluten, soy then some misc items.
  20. Mom23boys
    When I read that and the other articles against IgG testing, I got a very strong feel that they were trying to push (scare) people into traditional allergy ( IgE) testing. I have had both IgE, IgG and I believe it was an IgA testing. The traditional allergy test was the least accurate.
  21. Mom23boys
    I have a very high positive for a food I have not eaten in over 30 years. The person reading my test said this could show a genetic issue with that food (which I knew for a fact that it was and we had not discussed that yet). Can't speak for everyone but I know my test was right on.
  22. Mom23boys
    They are 12, 10 and 8. Our specialist is calling them triplets because their list of sensitivity is nearly the same (thank goodness! -- now, hopefully, that is like mine). People have always joked about them looking like the same boys but at different ages -- maybe that is just their inside wiring? I'm thankful that their list is similar. I would lose...
  23. Mom23boys
    Can I come and pace the floor over here? I got the call that all the kids results are in. The good news is that they are "triplets" (their sensitivity list is similar) but "they aren't going to be happy". For kids "not to be happy" as she said, I'm guessing milk and wheat (surely not veggies and fruit). As long as we do not add corn to our list, I will...

    Sunday was soft tacos I'll probably have left overs today

    If you are in the states, I would suggest contacting the Feingold program. Their stage 1 eliminates sals and they have many members who are stage 1 with additional eliminations like gluten, casein... If I had to eliminate those additional items, their food guide would be priceless to me.
