    Think outside the American box! Most international cuisine (with the exception of Italian and some other Eurpoean countries) is naturally Gluten-free Casein-free. Cook a Mexican meal, Indian, Thai, Sushi! Plain meals (staple foods) are also good too, and experiment with herbs and spices to keep things interesting.

    hola mamacita! Your son's symptoms are indicative of celiac. The tissue sample that they were referring to was probably a biopsy that was checking the condition of the villi (tiny fingerlike projections along the walls of the intestine, they become flattened when a celiac injests gluten). Yes, the barley malt is PLENTY to set off a celiac. Much smaller...

    I learned to make tortillas from my host family in Costa Rica- it's pretty easy. The only ingredients are masa (corn flour, you can get it in the international section of grocery stores or health food stores) and water. You mix the two until the consistensy is right- you should be able to form it easily into a ball, but have it retain its shape. Take a ball...

    You could cut everything up, etc. for your kids before you start eating. The wipes are also a good idea. I am the celiac in my family, but if I had a kid with celiac, I don't think I would purposefully order gluteny foods in restaurants with the kids. I mean, I might not check on the sauce and I wouldn't give the waiter the whole run-down on CC, but I wouldn...

    I am in Northern CT, but there is a specialty restaurant called Aleia's in Old Saybrook (not really near farifield but not SO far) that's entirely gluten-free! they have a bakery too. aleias.com is the website.

    Maybe it's different in Greece?

    hahahaha i was excited to see the midel cookies on sale, but then I realized they weren't the gluten-free kind. I just can't wait until there's a health food superstore w/ discount food!

    It's possible that your sensitivity just hasn't escalated to the point where you can't tolerate processed dairy. I haven't had a glass of milk in 6 months, but if I have one yogurt it's usually not the end of the world. I don't do cheese though- never liked it much, and now it makes me sick. And I can usually have dairy in baked goods, or cheddar popcorn...

    Plain old parmesan with some oregano is yummy
  10. HAK1031
    It's really yummy. But the predominant taste is the spices and the peanut oil.

    My mom makes a schnitzel-type dish too (but she uses turkey cutlets, not veal) and uses corn flour with spices (IDK what exactly, but you could look that up) for the breading

    I wouldn't be worried unless the gain gets out of hand. It's likely even muscle gain from your training. The only suspect thing is the chips- only the lay's stax brands are really gluten-free, and many members have issues with other chips.

    I don't digest nuts very well (I can tell on the other end ) but are you sure that: a. Your almond milk is gluten-free? Have you called the company? and b. Your almonds themselves are not cross contaminated or sprayed with wheat starch or anything? Good luck!

    I have a great GI too...my blood was neg., and I was already gluten-free so he didn't try to make me do an endo...I had genetics, was found to have DQ2, and that was enough for him!
  15. HAK1031
    Chili's has a gluten-free menu as well, just ask for it! It tells you on there what modifications to ask for, ie clean grill, no bun, etc.

    I'm deficient in Folic Acid, but I haven't found a good multi that doesn't upset my stomach. I take a Folic acid tablet and calcium chews (with vitamin d) every day. I'm a big fruit/veggie eater so that just about covers it for me. I could probably use some B12 though. But when I take multivitamins I get nauseated.

    Well I don't celerate Easter, but I am gluten-free/mostly DF, and I first began to suspect celiac in October, and at that point I went GFDF (completely). My birthday is on Halloween, and I was determined to partake! I had a lot of skittles and starbursts, which your DD might not like. Other good options are: Lollipops, hard candies like jolly ranchers, marshmellow...

    Sandi- Yes, my GI prescribed the test through prometheus- however, we had a big battle with the insurance company to make them cover it. Also its results alone are not enough for a diagnosis, as something like 30% of people carry a celiac gene, but if you have symptoms, it can help confirm your suspicions. You could also be plain old gluten intolerant, the...

    Celiac testing is also notoriously unrealiable, especially in little kids. All of my tests were negative, but based on my genetics (DQ2) and obvious dietary and overall response to the diet, my doctor was comfortable diagnosing me with celiac. He didn't want to make me go back on gluten for the endo, thank God. If gluten-free works, go for it. If you need...

    I haven't done well with oats when I've tried to introduce them, so I'm holding off. But if you want a good oatmeal substitute, take the enjoy life granola, add about a cup of milk, and microwave it for a couple minutes. I can't stand the cereal dry...I think it tastes like horse treats but I LOVE it hot like this, and it totally satisfies my oatmeal cravings...

    I took a month-long trip to Costa Rica a couple years ago. It was pre-DX, but I hardly remember any gluten. Beans, rice and corn is right! With my host family, a typical day of meals would be: homeade tortillas with eggs and rice and beans for breakfast, and rice and beans with chicken or fish or something for lunch and dinner (they aren't big on dinner down...

    Wow, that's impressive! I have cousins with mulitple allergies (egg, nut, milk) plus I'm gluten, dairy and soy intolerant!! Usually we have sorbet cakes on birthdays, but I'll give this recipe a try!

    If you can get the school to microwave it that would be ideal. Otherwise toast it at home first. If you just let it thaw it will be soggy, but it you only microwave it in the morning it will get hard by lunch. This is what I do when I pack gluten-free bread in my lunch. Good Luck!!
  24. HAK1031
    You also usually need to add a bit more baking mix than you would normal flour, basically add it until you get the consistency right. They have a recipe for banana bread on the box, look at the proportions for that.
  25. HAK1031
    no WAY!!! But it's not in the US yet?
