    I had a ziplock bag of half amaranth and half sorghum flours in the fridge that my spouse raided for dredging fish one time, it worked so well we keep doing it. Just looked up the ingredients on the King Arthur gluten free multi purpose flour mix, which is brown rice, tapioca, and potato starch. This should work fine.

    Oh my, wow. That is really a tight list of food restrictions. Congratulations !

    Reintroducing gluten for a few weeks is not going to cause enough damage to show up in a biopsy. The result will therefore likely be false, whether or not you have celiac or gluten intolerance. The only way it would show damage from gluten consumption is if you have been careless or cross contaminating yourself unwittingly all along with gluten. ...

    Aha! This was the thread I was trying to remember where somebody asked about neuro symptoms. My browser went poof and quit on me and I lost the page earlier, then somebody else asked about neuro symptoms and I found some links and put them in another thread. See this thread here on Gluten Ataxia links I had posted Romberg's Test Open Original...

    Oh, geez, your chiropractor might be a genius for this if he has caught it ! Re: ataxia, you do not want to wait and have this get worse, if you can stop it and actually get better. Run, do not walk, run and get those blood tests if they are for standard celiac panels. Stay on gluten while you are getting tested. wikipedia on Romberg's Test Open...

    Since the doctor already wants you off the gluten without having to see the results of a biopsy, vs. waiting a year and a half while you pile on more damage, it would make more sense to go gluten free now. I just laugh to myself at a few people who will think I'm not legitimate if I haven't got "official" results. I'm going into my eighth year of self...

    Try cutting back on the caffeine for the breast tenderness and see if that helps. The artificial form of the progestin used in birth control pills is notorious for causing depression. My experience with several ob -gyns when I was younger and still taking hormones for bc is that they are clueless as to the effect on some of us, or rather, they...

    Do you have any antihistamine you can take, just in case, such as benedryl or even a claritin would help if it is an allergic reaction. If you feel your throat swelling up, and do not have antihistamine to take and are alone, please call somebody to stay with you until you are better or get some, if it gets any worse, or you start feeling itchy/faint...

    No, it won't "harm" them, but you have to do it carefully so they realize that instead of depriving them of what they think of as "goodies," you are actually going to greater amounts of effort to get them special food so they don't feel bad. There is so much JUNK in schools (and the workplace) with people constantly bring in commercially prepared bakery...

    Those are very attractive bracelets ! You could get one of those inexpensive colored silicone rubbery "livestrong" bracelets and have it handy in your pocket for the next time Mr. Inept makes a comment. (if you wanted to take the joke even further, get one of the "power balance" holograph knockoffs that is supposed to have magical powers for athletes...

    The gene tests for celiac and the gene tests for what they (medical researchers) are calling "gluten intolerance," are becoming more specialized all the time, as gluten intolerance gradually becomes recognized as a category to describe people who are sick from eating gluten, but do not seem to have the the "standard" genes for it. This was from last year...

    LMAO ! I haven't actually tried the all purpose mix, but I have made many recipes using garbanzo bean flour that I've added to mixes. I've also eaten bakery gluten free goods that had various types of bean flours added to them. I've made good black bean brownies which my husband liked. There seem to be two types of people, those who can taste...

    I doubt very much this stuff is any good for the cockatiel, either. Research what they need to eat and then go to any large pet food distributor or farm feed store and get the basic wild bird seed without it, and supplement it with other wheat free seeds or grains. My feed store is in an area with a huge number of hobby/pet owners and they sell almost...

    From what I just read this is a breed of dog with a haircoat like a schnauzer, which does not shed. With a schnauz, if you don't keep them trimmed, they will just slowly get longer and longer until they are impossibly matted. The means that if you want a certain official breed standard look to them, then you get them professionally groomed, but if you just...

    That set of gluten free flours/starches can be combined to make a basic homemade mix. If you can mail order the classic Bette Hagman book(s), she used a mixture of rice/tapioca/cornstarch or potato starch in many recipes. Mixtures almost always work better than a straight one flour substitute. You can make your own homemade gluten free flour mixes...

    But what did you cook the brownies in ? New or old pan ?

    Congratulations on your blood test results showing something that you can wave at recalcitrant doctors . Had never heard of this before.

    Was it a new bottle of olive oil ? On another thread someone said there has been a problem with some kinds being adulterated. Google "olive oil adulterated" and then search news, and you'll find a lot of stories. This has been a big problem in Europe, and it has spilled over into the U.S. with imports of supposedly extra virgin oil, which, when studied...

    I am more to the thinking that you are either unwittingly still get cross contaminated with something, OR, you have an additional food problem. You're eating 2 things that are commonly recommended to celiacs and gluten intolerants that the majority can have with no problem but which will do me in, (and it took me a good long while to figure this out) one...

    Put a roll of paper towels on a dispenser rack in the bathroom, and a liquid soap dispenser. I don't know if you will have a microwave, (they do make small and relatively inexpensive ones these days) but here is your opportunity to do some gluten free baking in one, such as bun-in-a-bowl type recipes, converted to be sweeter and more muffin like by adding...

    I have seen lots of fish oil capsules that are NOT gluten free. I would not go NEAR a fish oil capsule because the supplement and pharma industry is always changing ingredients, and the second you find what is supposed to be a reputable brand, somebody sells the company to the competitor, and the label changes, the ingredients change, and it is screwed up...

    The sickest I've ever been was during that stint as a vegetarian. I've had all sorts of vegans since then trying to guilt trip me into their way of seeing the world better off supposedly as "all vegan," and I'm not buying it, and I'm not falling for the it must be a matter of supposedly not having enough willpower. "Better world ?" "Make...

    This is easy. Use whatever type of product YOU get along with for the shampoo, just don't use very much of it, and rinse very well. For the rinse, put a small amount of 100% pure apple cider vinegar in a big cup of water, at the ration of 1 part vinegar and 8 parts water. Pour over dog's body. This corrects the ph. This is all you need to...

    Might be, or could be just gluten intolerance. He may have temporary lactose intolerance causing the D because celiac can damage the lining of the gut needed to digest lactose. Most doctors think that if you are 1)not thin and 2)not loosing weight and looking wasted, and have instead symptoms of neuropathy (numbness, nerve damage in extremities) and...
