    I don't think anyone would ever say that Enterolab is a substitute for a doctor's diagnosis. The thing is that many go to the doctor and find that they are dismissed, or the doctor really doesn't know much about it, or they had a blood test which came back negative, or they are already off gluten and don't want to go back on for testing. In that case, Enterolab...

    So did mine. Yet gluten clearly affects him, so he's off it. I don't know if it's an IgG reaction or just some type of intolerance, or if it's celiac and he has an IgA deficiency. But yes, there are definitely negative results from enterolab. I'm pretty sure they're on the up and up.

    Oops, I didn't mean lame advertisement test. I wrote a-l-c-a-t. Didn't know it was a bad word!

    I'm wondering about these tests, too. I had an anaphylactic-like reaction the last time I ate wheat, and went to a regular allergist, who didn't believe me. She tested me for all sorts of allergies, and I had tons of inhalant allergies which I did'nt know about, but no food allergies. She said the IgG tests were unreliable. So now I'm just walking around...

    You could try taking Chlorophyll each day. Health food stores sell it, or the Internet. You can get it in chewables. liquid or capsules. It really deodorizes everything, though you might have to pop a couple more during a glutening.

    There's a recipe on here called Brazilian Cheese Bread, and to me it tasted just like a big Cheez-it, but softer. I'll bet if you rolled out the dough thinly and baked it, it would come pretty close to Cheez-its. If you do a search on this site, you should be able to find the recipe.

    Yes, there's Gluten-free ravioli and stuffed shells, and they are so good! Everyone at our house loves them. I get mine either at the Gluten-Free Market in Fair Lawn, NJ, or if I don't have time to drive out there, I order them online from the Gluten Free Mall. They come frozen and packed in dry ice. Yummy!! Most health food stores around me have the Kinnikinick...

    There is such a thing as an IgG allergy. The skin prick tests just test for IgE allergies, and celiac is an IgA reaction, but google IgG reactions. They are hard to diagnose as the tests are not accurate. If you do a food elimination trial that would show reactions, and then you'd know to stay away from those foods, but without an official doctor's diagnosis...

    I've had it, and it wasn't bad at all. It was kind of like getting a tooth filled. They give you a little numbing shot, which wasn't bad, just a tiny pinch. Then you really don't feel anything except a painless pressure. It's over really quick, too. It was only about 5 minutes start to finish. What I didn't like was feeling numbness in my throat for an...

    Whoops, you didn't say whether Casey is a boy or girl and I assumed girl, since I know a girl Casey. My apologies if it's a he and not a she!

    No, the scratch test doesn't hurt at all. I had 3 of my kids tested and they weren't bothered in the least, and I just had it done Friday and it's quite painless. Don't know how much it costs since I haven't got the bill yet, but I've heard it's inexpensive. It may not show anything, since celiac is an IgA reaction and the scratch test only checks for...

    You're right, that's the heart of the Christian gospel, to believe. It's not our good deeds that save us, but believing in Christ's death to pay for our sins. That's what our religion is all about, not doing all the little things that go along with it. Thanks for helping me focus on what's important about the communion.

    Lol!! That sounds like a good idea, though!

    No, I'm not a Catholic, but I could probably speak to the pastor about it. Maybe I could just do the little cup of wine (actually it's grape juice), or maybe bring my own piece of bread. They just use regular white bread cut up into little squares instead of the wafer that some churches use. I just don't know if it's just as good to pop your own bread into...

    Yes, I don't know what I was thinking. If one of my kids told me they were going to hurt themselves for my sake, I would be upset, no question. It's great to be able to bounce these kinds of things off others. It really helps see things more clearly.

    I don't know if anyone can help me on this, as IgG reactions are poorly understood, but I trust you guys over the doctors any day, so here goes: Last Sunday I had a terrible glutening. I decided I would take communion at my church. They only have it every 3 months, and I thought that if Christ could die on the cross for my sins, I could do this for Him...

    Recipezaar has a recipe for gluten free oreos. They're great, taste just like oreos, though they were softer than real Oreos. They were time consuming to make, though you wouldn't have to make the cream filling. Open Original Shared Link

    We found out the hard way that the dixie cup type of ice cream is not gluten free. Now I just buy Breyers.

    I did the same with my son. He had some symptoms that weren't classic celiac symptoms, but his younger brother and sister have done extremely well on a gluten free diet without a diagnosis, but I couldn't get my 16 year old to try the diet without a diagnosis. So in we went to the doctor, and I was nervous about asking him to do a celiac blood test on a seemingly...

    I was meandering around the health food store and saw a supplement that is supposed to be good for candida and leaky gut. Supposedly it seals up the leaks in the intestine and keeps candida in check. I ask because my daughter has had a candida problem for a year now. She had scarlet fever last summer and was given some strong antibiotics to take, and hasn...

    My 13-year-old had something similar several months ago, and it was quite scary. She was dizzy, brain fogged, seeing flashing lights whenever she stood up, felt sick, etc. I took her to the doctor and her blood pressure was 70 over something. They were sure she was dehydrated, and gave us the same advice that you were given, gatorade,etc. It did take several...

    We go there and have had no problems with it. Don't eat the gravy, it has wheat in it. The chicken and mashed potatoes are gluten-free, though there's always the risk of CC anywhere you go. We've been fine so far.

    Pizza "lunchables" - when I found a pizza crust the kids liked, I made a bunch of small ones and put them in the freezer. Then in the morning, I put a couple crusts in a baggie, and spooned some pizza sauce in a little container, and put some cheese in another container. My daughter had this almost every day last year. Kraft mac 'n cheese - Tinkyada macaroni...
