    Just quickly to start with, black pepper is not a nightshade, comes from a different family and is quite safe. I am wondering if you have tried taking any digestive enzymes to help your GI system out. Many of us have pancreatic insufficiency where the pancreas does not produce enough of the digestive enzymes to help us properly process our food, and taking...

    After several weeks of gluten free eating I am afraid that any blood testing is likely to be negative, as well as the biopsy. It is recommended to keep eating gluten right up to the last day of testing because the antibodies disappear quite quickly from the bloodstream and the gut starts to heal. Small amounts of gluten off and on, while interfering with...

    Now if the grains a chicken eats were to make a difference to me, I would not be able to eat any chicken Our Tegel chicken here is my preference for those down under, as far as processing, unless you want to spend the huge bucks for organic.

    Hi, Liza Lee, and welcome to the forum. I am no expert on test results, especially the genetic part, but you definitely have problems with gluten and your fecal fat score would indicate you are not processing your food properly. You may or not be celiac, but you should not be eating gluten. As far as the casein, I had fecal testing done by a different...

    Puff, puff, puff -- running fast, catching up...... Three TYPED pages?? How many keyboarding classes has she had? But starting 'em early on presentations is good. I had never done it before high school, and my first time I just "froze" -- absolutely nothing would come out, I was terrified, turned red in the face and ran out of the room...

    SLB5757, I don't believe Reba32 was trying to put you down, be mean to you or make you feel bad. She was, I think, trying to get you to see the glass as half full instead of half empty. So far we know that you are intolerant of the following: "I tested at the highest allergy (4++) to potatoe, corn, soy, nuts, beans, tomato, carrot, celery and...

    Hi, and welcome to the forum. It is probable from the statement that the recipe is gluten free that the salad dressing is made on lines shared with gluten products (they cleanse he lines between runs, but for the super sensitive there still seems to be some gluten residue which contaminates the product and causes a reaction.) You might want to limit your...

    What we react to is not always what we think it is. It could well be something else in the Tyson chicken since many seem to have problems with it. On the other hand, I am certainly not denying your son's negative reaction.

    Welcome to the House of Kindred Spirits, Joe. Have a question? Just holler Someone is bound to an answer, if not THE answer

    Are you sure about the casein, or is it just lactose? I ask this because I was tested as casein intolerant but could eat cheese, yogurt, anything cultured, just fine, so it was not an accurate assessment. I also ask it because I find nothing calms my inflamed intestines like yogurt. I use it as a preferable alternative to the neat scotch I used to use...

    Well, I think it depends which ones you are intolerant of It is impossible to be totally lectin free as there are lectins in most everything. You just have to avoid the ones you are intolerant of, starting with those with the highest concentrations. No, but seriously, from what I have read, it is seldom that one is intolerant to all lectin groups...

    I usually make my own sauces. But you have to keep in mind, I am nightshade intolerant

    I first became totally lactose intolerant long before I knew about gluten intolerance. It was only recently that I challenged lactose because I remembered so vividly how I reacted to it (I could always eat yogurt, cheese, sour cream, anything cultured, just not milk. ice cream, cream). I am now enjoying bowls of ice cream without even the crutch of Lactaid...

    You are right in asserting your doctor is not well educated in celiac disease (most aren't). You do need to have been consuming gluten solidly for at least 8 weeks prior to testing for the test to be valid. He also did not perform a total serum IGA to ensure that you are an antibody producer; some people aren't and that invalidates the test too. Your...

    Count me among those who cam handle a little raw tomato, but anything cooked (ketchup, pasta sauce, pizza sauce, sundried tomatoes, etc.) really zaps me, I came to the same conclusion Jestgar did, that the cooking alters the protein structure; also cooked tomato tends to be more concentrated, i.e., you are getting MORE tomato than if eating raw.

    You Can have B12 injections if you can't do the sublinguals (I can't), and you really need a prescription strength Vitamin D if you are deficient. I am not personally familiar with how ferritin/iron is administered, but if you are low in that I believe the doctors can prescribe stronger doses that are more readily absorbed. Have you had any of your levels...

    Organic and gluten free products are often adjacent to each other on the shelf, but bear no relationship to each other as far as safety for celiacs. You still have to analyze every label for gluten and the rules are the same.

    Hubby and I have different likes and dislikes, tolerances, etc., for salads. How about making a family salad bar and let everyone put together their own salad. That way she would feel in control of what she was eating. And would probably choose healthily. Carrot sticks/grated carrot, chopped celery, red peppers, colorful things, -- ask her what she would...

    Glad I bought my Kitchen Aid mixer today . Looks like I will be doing even more baking than before if they start adding legumes to gluten free everything, besides the corn, soy and potato that already clutter up the gluten free stuff Bah humbug! If they're so healthy, let the farmers eat them. Not me!

    Generally, the biggie to look for in hair products is Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein. Of course in other body care products beware of all Aveeno products which have oats. Others may have some more ideas for you to watch out for.

    Are you working on a six-pack too, Ray-shelle?? Make sure it's Redbridge
