    I'll never forget the quote, "Whatever can happen to a human being, can happen to me." This puts life in perspective for me. Life is uncertain, even with your faith. There are Christians whose child got hit and killed by a car, those with illnesses worse than ours. Jesus suffered a lot and so did most Christians in the bible and after the bible, most...

    That sound's interesting. Can you post it or send me a pm? Thanks.

    I completely agree here. Keep in short. Then if he continues about it some, be prepared to continue to keep in short and let it go. It's easy to get into argument, when there is more details. The big picture is what a stress for both of you, and that your intention is to support him and believe in him.

    I'm sorry you have struggled for so many years. I can relate to your experience, being in that in-between spot is really hard, and yes the diet is hard. Anger is part of my symptoms. For my friend, it is main symptom and it almost resulted in a divorce. Her husband is so thankful! Some other ideas....I would also keep a journal of how others find you...

    I have a friend and her son that responds like that to corn. Although I don't have that "type" of response, I am so sensitive to contamination that I would have a reaction to the granola because it says it is on "shared equipment" with dairy. I found that out back before they had such labels when I was eating several foods that bothered me. Later I...

    Thanks a lot. I also read your other posts. Curious -Are you also sensitive to dairy? Have you eaten out in the town of Singapore?

    Anyone have a simple recipe for an almond bar without dairy, soy, rice, (or gluten of course). You know, something like the boomi bar. I'm not too good at stove top candy cooking without butter. Any ideas? Thanks.

    I'm sorry your daughter is so ill, and that's so hard on her and you. I would search online for some information, on this cite, on webmd, celiac.org, for starters. One issue is where the blood test is done (I think Mayo is good), and if you get all three tests. I would look into peoples stories here, as you will see that many have diagnosed celiac with...

    Anybody with celiac and other food intolerances (such as rice, beans, citrus, nuts and most new grains - like amaranth, buckwheat, quinoa, teff, and any food that typically produces gas, & most vitamins) ever been able to add back in foods? Please tell me of success stories where you can actually eat more, where food intolerances get better over time...

    My daughter will be going to Singapore and then to India. She is very sensitive to gluten and dairy, small contamination can be an issue for her. The airline says that they have gluten and dairy free preparations for her. Has anyone traveled with them before? What else do I need to communicate (my husband is going, I am not)? Anyone with experience eating...

    Wow, sounds like heaven. I can't eat out. Can I ask what your other food intolerances are and how well you were able to eat out with them? I'm especially interested in dairy, soy, and egg. Thanks!

    My daughter and I eat the Elyon marshmallows. A while back we checked out and tried several brands and this was the only one that worked out (gluten and dairy free, kosher). We don't eat a lot of processed foods, and don't eat them often -- usually for camping, but haven't had any problems.
  14. Arpita
    Wow, that sounds tough, especially when the diet is so all-consuming. It can be real difficult when medical science is a ever-changing, incomplete science and when doctors so often filter everything through one statement or diagnosis. As for other ideas of a diagnosis: Parasites and milk intolerance can also cause flattened villi (search celiac.com and...

    I just posted a chocolate chip cookie and a sugar cookie recipe. Go to my posts and you'll find it.

    My friend couldn't eat anything, neither could her son. They kept eliminating until nothing was left. She went on the SCD diet (go online and then look for book). Now she is reintroducing foods, and is eating more foods than she has for 8 years. I'm not willing to try it myself, but you might want to look into it if you are miserable. Also, I was wondering...

    I would answer to Mosaics that perhaps it has to do with a person's level of sensitivity to gluten and whether or not there's other food allergies or intolerances -- and of course, individual personality and experience. I do find myself being very nervous in going out to eat, and really dread the whole process. If I get glutened or get any dairy...

    Great suggestions from everyone else. Also, try a Yahoo search for "Allergy Grocery" or "Miss Robens." They have a great online store with all ingredients listed. Also, maybe take it slow if you are already overwhelmed -- sticking with gluten and dairy free is great success!! IF you are feeling much better, then maybe just eliminate one food at a time...

    I've had best results with flaxmeal from Bob's redmill, sprinkled on applesauce or made inside a gluten-free bread. Also, cod liver oil from Kirkman Lab online (they have many supplements that are gluten free - and list specifically all other possible food allergies/intolerances), and hot water or tea with honey. Drink lots of water. Hang in there!

    No answers for your first question. Try Kirkman for Gluten-free Casein-free probiotics. Do a search online and it should come right up as Kirkman lab. They cater to allergies, autism, and so forth.

    I use sorghum flour for just about everything. It has a taste very similar to wheat. You can get the Bob's Red Mill from many stores. Or you can order it online from Twin Valley Mills (which is better and cheaper). I have taken some recipes and just exchanged it one and one for wheat (such as shortbread, mexican tea cakes, pumpkin bread). Also, there...

    Yes, my friend's son and many of her friend's children had those symptoms only. Some were even diagnosed with autism and made a complete turn around after going gluten and dairy free (casein free). There is a gluten and casein free website that I could direct them towards. Also, my child has primarily neurological symptoms -- seizures, mood swings, depression...

    When I get little bits of gluten in my diet, I get a "hungry" feeling even if I just ate. I also had a similar problem as yours when I first going off gluten and didn't yet have a firm grasp that I might be getting gluten in my diet or getting foods contaminated with gluten (and before I went dairy free). It is hard without meat. I would try eating more...
