    David, I saw both models demonstrated yesterday, and the gal seemed to have a hard time changing the bayonet-style attachments on the bowl-lifter type. Is that because you are supposed to change them without the bowl in position? Or because she was inept? It rather turned me off that model, also its height which would not matter much in a commercial kitchen...

    You must stop cheating on yourself like this or you will never heal and have the chance to know End of lecture!

    I probably should add that I already have a small Braun appliance (about 1-2 cup capacity) which chops nuts, onions, chocolate, etc., and which also has a blending wand attachment for immersing in your soup pot, so that handles a lot of the tasks that a food processor/blender would for me. And I don't tend to do a lot of juicing, although the Kitchenaid...

    I have always tended to avoid beets for no particular reason other than that here they are generally pickled. So I roasted some along with some other roasted vegetables I know are safe for me, and had a pretty violent reaction to them. You are the only other person I know of who reacts to beets

    Rachelle, what model Vitamix do you have? All that I see sold here are blenders (the 5200). There doesn't seem to be any food processing parts to it except the mixing blades.

    I have a crappy food processor which I never use because I find it too inconvenient. I have a big birthday coming up (one with a zero on the end ) and hubby is proposing to buy me a Kitchen Aid mixer because he knows how hard it is for me to stand at the counter beating and mixing because of a back injury a couple of years ago, and because I have to make...

    It is possible you could have picked up a parasite of some kind. I would talk to my doctor about it and maybe get tested for parasites if he feels it is appropriate.

    Do Not Give Up! There is an answer there somewhere. I have been riding the same trails as you for the last two and a half years. After quitting gluten, next came soy. Next came nightshades. Next came even the potato starch in flour mixes. Next came even the non-GM corn I could formerly eat here in N.Z. The last thing, just recently, that came my...

    Dr. Rodney Ford is a great believer in the IgG DGP test. His practice is mostly children, and I heard him speak on the topic last year.

    Okay, this one's good for a laff, at my expense After having parked at many places around town for varying periods of time today, I phinally fill up with gas at the service station, go in and pay the cashier, come out, and SOME VARMINT has stolen all my hubcaps Go home and fess up to Clay that I was careless enough to let this happen, and he...

    Do you have a copy of the report? What did the footnote say? Those numbers look high.

    I second (third ) the avoidance of oats for now. Also, you are very new into healing, and fibrous foods are hard for the digestive system to handle. You could be having problems with the apple skin, but not the apple, so you could try peeling it. Corn also has a tough outer skin, as well as being potentially allergenic itself. Likewise, tomato skins are...

    If it were me I would not add it until I make up the recipe, as I have seen recipes that do not call for xanthan gum (admittedly not many, and I don't know how much difference it would make ). In gluten free baking, because I have not been at it that long, I tend to follow the recipes to the letter

    You have been on a pretty devastating journey in your short life so far. May the rest of it it be easier for you. There is no way of knowing how much gluten was a contributor to your problems, but it is certainly a possibility that it did play a part, as the others have stated. It is interesting that all of your medical conditions are or can be genetically...

    With soy, not healthy for me either

    With a positive blood test and negative biopsy, many doctors will give a celiac diagnosis with a positive reaction to the gluten free diet. It seems like each doctor sets his own standard for making this diagnosis. Yesterday we heard of a doctor who would not give the diagnosis even with partial atrophy of the villi. In the experience of the posters on...

    How long had you been gluten free, Brien, before starting to eat it again? And just how much gluten are you eating? The reason I ask is that the generally accepted guidelines for gluten-eating in order to get a valid test result are from two to three months of eating gluten, equivalent to two to three slices of bread, every day. Given the way you reacted...

    You can get a skin scratch test, an ELISA test, or you can do a stool test through labs like Enterolab, Diagnos-Techs, etc.

    Good morning, Psillies. See, I beat Nik and Em to the punch, though it's still late evening here. What am I doing up? Well just retiring. I have been researching property titles and I am befuzzled and confoozled and wired Doing this for Miss Mary who was admitted to convalescent care for rehydration and leg ulcers today and who is phinally admitting...

    I do not know the answer to your question. But I do know that I cannot eat corn-fed beef, only free range grass-fed organic beef. I don't know if this is due to the corn, or to the antibiotics and hormones they feed the cattle in the feedlots. I also buy only free range eggs and organic chicken because I seem to be having problems with the lectins in gluten...

    Hi, and a warm welcome to the forum. I am a little surprised that your doctor did not promptly give you a diagnosis of celiac disease, with the findings of partial villi atrophy. Would he rather they were totally atrophied??? However, if you really want that diagnosis I would suggest taking a copy of your biopsy findings to another doctor and asking...

    If the diet works for you, Brutus, I would think it is highly unlikely that your symptoms would have any other cause. Of course, if your symptoms continue unabated you should explore further testing. Keep in mind that recovery from gluten has its ups and downs, so do not be discouraged if you have have some small temporary recurrences of symptoms along...

    Well, if you're crazy, I'm crazy too. But it only happens when I have a UTI. With the very first sip of wine or other alcohol I will get a burning in my urethra immediately It lets me know when I have a problem so I suppose it's a good thing, but weird as all get out. How does it get down there so quickly?

    Often after we have been gluten free for a while our bodies help us out on this, by reacting so much more strongly to the stimulus than they used to. But no, a mistake does not put you back to ground zero. It is just a setback, does not help at all, and creates problems for a varying length of time according to the individual. Some people one or two days...

    I would love that, Lollie. Thanks.
