    QUICK!! Give me ten eye colors that will produce a natural looking brownish look! I normally wear a dark brown in the crease, lighter brown ot do the outside corner and a light color to do the upper lid. Other than that I have no idea how to fill up 10 eyeshadows!! Stacie

    OKay! I jumped ship and came on over to the dark side...err colorful side I'm going to order something since I have discovered that wheat is the Evil One and apparently resides in everything in my cabinet and makes me itch. And the sheer volume of this thread leaves me no other choice.. SO Question 1 Where is the mascara cause I don't go without...

    None of mine have a dx but the baby was so sick that we had to try something. Both of the older kids who had little to no symptoms other than D on and off and both are small. with the diet, we went gluten-free and then found out that the baby was lactase deficient. We then made the diet gluten-free/CF and have seen the biggest improvement with the...

    It does get easier. It's also a great idea to stick with just basic fruits/veggies/plain meat for the first month or so while you figure out the whole gluten free thing. The gluten free products like cookies and such can be hard on your stomach at first. maybe sticking with simple foods that are naturally gluten free will help you feel better quicker...

    OKAY! So now that I have made the connection between food and body issues/behaviour, now the little lightbulb is going off and I am realzing that all those cleaners/moisterizers/ have chemicals that are soaking in to my body!!!!Anyway..I've searched the boards and found several choices but still wondering what is the favorite out there? I'm looking at...

    I recieved a wedding present of a very nice mixer 17 YEARS AGO!!! I was a big bread maker and used to make dough by hand even though the mixer had dough hooks and was a touted to be a great bread mixer. Every time I ever tried to use it, the dough would crawl up the hooks and fling around the kitchen. I gave up until last week - did I say LAST WEEK...

    It's like ripping off a bandaid. DO it slow and it's way more painful. ONe quick snatch and it's all over. We came home from the biopsy and anything in the house that contained gluten hit the trash. I couldn't stand the thought of 2 kids eating something she could't have, so everybody went gluten free. Their responses have been so great just like hers...

    We put all three of mine on gluten-free/CF diet and we are on week 6 of it even though no one had a positive result. THe oldest and middle kids just slowly over time have slipped off of the growth chart and since the baby has to be gluten free, we thought why not. The youngest has had the classic syptoms of Celiac and she has gained over a pound and ...

    HI! My baby is 21 months and we have been dealing with this since she was 12 months old. We have done all the testing and biopsy and still have a negative for Celiac. Blood test in young toddlers come back negative a lot because they don

    mY 18 month's iga was lower and her igg was higher than your daughter's. She was ftt, losing weight, and so horribly sick. We never received a dx of Celiac but put her on the diet and saw micralous changes. HOw did your dr decide to dx you with Non Celiac? We re still searching for dx for daughter and was just wondering what were the deciding factors in...

    Some people do not have damage. There has been little to no studies done of those who can't eat gluten but test negative. The university of chicago is finally doing a trial of people who test negative both blood and biopsy but yet respond to the gluten free diet. IT will be interesting to get their final research. Their website says they have identified...

    We're going thru this with our 20 month old. She is tiny, just hit 18 lbs and we have been put through the ringer since her 12 month well check when it was obvious that her growth was way down. She is right now slightly bigger than at 9 months. Here's our story in a nut shell and I would ask that your husband read this as my husband wanted that definite...

    Welcome to the club!! I think a lot of people begin the diet in support of their kid and lo and behold! Health problems begin to clear up. We did this for our toddler and my oldest and myself discovered that we have a hard time with gluten and may even be Celiac. SInce we have to do the diet and the response has been so drastic, we intend to keep on it...

    The testing and biopsy are so unrealible in children this young that it is laughable that a dr even insist they do them. The only positive is that the biopsy will rule out any other possibilities and pick up any possible problems if done right. We started this with our 9 month old and now at 21 months we still do not have a dx because everything has come...

    We did the scope on our 19 month and while it turned out fine and was easy and a breeze none the less, she could have had serious side effects or could have died. And the scope proved nothing but there was nothing wrong with her but a lactase deficiency. So if we follow our gi's advise, we will feed our child wheat and remove dairy from her diet. We tried...

    Well that explains some things about my pancakes and cookies. What recipes do you use for pancakes or cookies if you don't use rice flour? Or what ratios of flours are you using? I'm fairly new to this and am figuring out what each flour is and such. I do have buckwheat and sorghum and millet but haven't tried them yet. I used a Pamela's substitute mix...

    For the food diary, I simply keep it in word on the computer. I start with the date and then list each time they eat, how much went in (so I give out 2 tbs and only half is gone - I record 1 tbs), the time of each poop and pee and how much and how it looks. I color code it to distinguish between poop and pee. If you have a digital camera, you could just...

    Thank GOD!!! I'm pretty adept now at ruling out the obvious wheat but those gluten cover up names are still not second nature yet. Thanks Stacie I'm glad I put back the bag of little hearts because I didn't want him to eat that much

    I was dx with it at age 23 and told I would probably be in a wheel chair by 25 as mine acted like RA. I could hardly move and if I sat still I would need help getting up. COuldn't sleep, hurt everywhere, couldn't stand to be touched. Put on low dose anti-depressants to act like muscle relaxers. It got the worst of the pain under control but didn't do...

    OOHHHHH Me ME ME !! I don't have it on my feet or knees but on my face, upper chest, and neck. Just a red rash sometimes raised usually just flat, itchy or not, comes and goes. I thought for years that it was due to my hair products or special body soaps as it seemed to correlate to using a new product. Then it seemed to happen whenever i would get...

    Do you remember what the ingredient was? I just bought a 6 pack of reese's peanut butter hearts and it didn't have anything I recognized as wheat. It had the following: peanuts, sugar, dextrose, vegetable oil(cocoa butter, palm, shea, sunflower and/or safflower oil), chocolate, nonfat milk contains 2% or less of milk fat, lactose (milk) salt, whey, ...

    email me and I will send you all the lists I have and the shopping guides I came up with. You can then see how to use them for your hubby. We just had to take out dairy too, so I have some of that as well. Most of it is complied from here and the autism sites. THe resturant menus are on their website. maybe business size no nos would help?? Stick them in...

    I had to chime in here and say that our ped dr said there are groups of people who must wait for medical science to catch up with them. NO ONE in my family has a Celiac dx. NO ONE! But we are gluten free due to a very sick baby who will not grow on wheat. She's not a Celiac and as of this moment in time there is not one piece of research published yet...

    What would you all reccomend for someone just starting out in gluten-free life? SOmeone with 3 young kids who need snacks, breads,etc in addition to meals? What are the must haves? Thanks Stacie

    HI! We are going thru this now. So far every test from two Celiac blood panels, allergy testing, regular blood testing, stool testing,kidneys - you name it , and a biopsy have come back negative on our little girl (20 months old now) except for a lactase deficency done during the biopsy. She stopped growing at her 12 month visit and is no bigger now...
