    No perfect answer. I have been in this situation for the last two years. It is much better than 2 years ago, but is far from perfect. It was crazy. She was loosing herself completely. She yelled at me and everyone all the time. Now, we talk, and she goes off her diet less often. She admits to going off her diet (not every time, but before she lied...

    Just an open opportunity to hear your experience of your teen's struggles with celiac, and what works (and doesn't work) for you in supporting them and encouraging responsibility for their health.

    Oh, also, I bet in a year, your child will no longer be difficult. It was amazing for us, she changed like night and day, it was really amazing...

    My 13-year-old daughter has had celiac for almost 4 years, and myself for three. Its a hard road, this food causes behavior health thing, a road that can be hard others to understand as well. First of all, it will become more obvious over time. I could tell the best after about a year after diagnosis. As she has become a teenager, it is harder to tell...

    Thanks everyone!

    Going to India - can anyone suggest a anti-diarrhea medicine that is GLUTEN and DAIRY free? We usually go without medicine..., but when out of the country, I want to make sure my daughter has something.

    Anyone with experience eating out in India & Singapore? Gluten, dairy, problems - very sensitive.

    I'd like to get more postings on the LAYS - original classic or wavy. Do you have a gluten reaction to either of these types? (just the plain, potato, oil, salt)

    I prefer to substitute sorghum for everything. I can't tell any difference in the taste or texture, like I do with rice flours. You can get it from Bob's Red Mill, or cheaper online from Twin Valley. It is best to add 1 TB or more of corn starch for each cup of sorghum flour. The same mix above (with the tapioca & corn starch) can be used; just use...

    You can get jawar flour (which is same as U.S. sorghum) and make puri with it (that is the same as a chapati in oil). It taste best if it is mixed with mashed potato when prepared. It is a common food among the poor of India. You can eat rice and lentil soup. You can eat a fried food called pakora that is made with bean flour. You can eat dolsas and...

    Anybody ever called about Allegra (only the antihistamine) having soy? I got info last year on its gluten and dairy free status. It took a long time for a response.
  14. Arpita
    Besan is a yellow lentil flour and chickpea flour is from chickpeas/garbanzo. Either can be used to make pakora. Both make a good coating to fry chicken.

    Thanks - I don't know why I didn't notice the list on this cite as well. Anybody with info on particular brand names that they have already called? I'm a bit concerned b/c my last assumption that Brandy would be gluten free - turned out wrong. Just don't want to start contacting them all, if someone has already done it! Thanks.

    When we did logs, this is what I did. I write breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks in between (but not exact times). I write all the symptoms I had that day. I don't look at it and figure it out each day. After a couple of months, I return to it and look for patterns of symptoms. Sometimes they show up the next day or even 3 days later for some people...

    Any suggestions for Gluten free alcohol that is fully gluten free (other than wine). I have a list of brands from an online site, but I don't see most of the brands from that list in my local store. Last year, I got some brandy of a different brand than on the list, and just in case, e-mailed them about possible gluten. I wasn't worried and drank some...

    I find that coconut milk is a great replacement in baking, sauces, and mashed potatoes. Shelton's chicken broth or just hot water is good for this as well. Yeah, even the new Hemp Milk, has rice syrup (not sure if Hemp Bliss does also, but the other brand does). I posted some sauce recipes above also

    Although I haven't tried it yet, I was just looking into quinoa pasta through the brand Ancient Harvest (corn & quinoa). I make a soy-free, dairy free, gluten-free sauce by putting broth in a jar (either Shelton's chicken broth or left-over beef juice from a london broil, roast, or steak). I add about 2 tsp sorghum flour. I shake it up. Heat it on...

    Wow...sorry, about the story with the doctor. Great resources given by another member above. I'd just those out. From what I've researched, I would thing the glutening from 2-3 weeks ago would be enough to lead to that result. I know I definitely have symptoms that long in response to one glutening, and that with time smaller amounts of gluten make me...

    There is a great casein and gluten free candy list on www.gfcfdiet.com. or google gluten casein free and autism and it'll come up. Some that are also soy free are hot tamales, mike n ikes, sweettarts (original only), smarties, candy stix. Peanut butter kisses are great. Skittles depends on the flavor, and has mixed information.

    Thanks. I kept a food log for my daughter for over a year, and almost that long for myself. That is how I ended up eliminating so many foods for myself (this happened sequentially after the initial gluten free, shortly thereafter dairy free that started in Jan 05). I am grateful that so many of my symptoms have gone away. It's nice to hear the hope that...

    I noticed on miss roben's website, they have covers for grills and toasters to prevent contamination issues. I was wondering if anyone has ever tried to bring one in to a restaurant and ask them to use it? Perhaps making it easy for them would help? I basically can't eat out -- been trying for 3 years! I eat out maybe three times a year. Two or three...

    It is very overwhelming (gluten free almost 3 years). It is natural to be anxious when food is making you ill. After a bout of illness, that happens to me even now. Anxiety is natural when you are ill. I have found that trying to not be "anxious" or "mad" at the anxiety helps. Also, that it won't go on forever, you will have days you feel well. Also...
