  1. What ranges did the lab give for its results?
  2. No, gluten reactions are auto-immune based. HOWEVER, it is possible to be celiac and allergic to avocado
  3. Yah, and it's easy to ferget which side of the road you should be on when you're equally comfortable with both (NOTE: driver and turn signal always in middle of the road!!!) but still, watch out
  4. Well, diabetes and celiac, both, have a lot to do with food Now where the neuropathy comes from is another question. Just thought I'd throw that into the mix.
  5. GeeEff. I do not walk on my head when in Nevada I just keep forgetting which coast I'm near and where the sun should be
  6. And I had the most fantastic, never-fail rye bread recipe
  7. Ah, Lisa, our mathematician
  8. You need to do a search on here for J.N. Bunnie's cinnamon buns. I haven't made them yet but they look (and others have said) they are to die for Okay, here ya go: I did the search for you.
  9. Or beds.... (unless he is going to sleep in it alone)
  10. :unsure: Open Original Shared Link Peripheral Neuropathy and Celiac Disease. Chin RL, Latov N. Source Weill Medical College of Cornell University, Department of Neurology and Neuroscience, Peripheral Neuropathy Center, 635 Madison Avenue 4th Floor, New York, NY 10022, USA. Abstract Peripheral neuropathy (PN) is one of the most frequently...
  11. Good heavens, everything itches worse at night, whether it be mosquito bites, psoriasis, DH.... You get under the covers warm in bed and the heat makes it itch. What an idiot. My psoriasis used to drive me nuts at night.
  12. In general, Lisa, or Tom in particular???
  13. Phyllo dough as in spanikopitas and such. Get your fill of good flaky pastry. Enjoy a last croissant or two because while there are subs they do not have that buttery deliciousness. Sourdough french bread - chow down on a loaf of that. Those are the things I wish I could still eat
  14. You need to go in to your appointment armed with ammunition, so that if you get that kind of response you can say, "Well, I have this symptom and this, and this, and out of this whole list of symptoms I have X number of them and I think that really could be what is wrong with me. And these are the tests you need to run to find out" Do some googling research...
  15. If you were to sentence someone in a court of law to eat gluten when they do not tolerate it, I believe that would be classified as cruel and unusual punishment. And yet that is what your doctor is proposing for your little girl. How many chances do doctors think we should give them to "get it right". You seem to have made the diagnosis to your satisfaction...
  16. Celiac blood testing is not reliable in those who do not make normal quantities of IgA (or IgG). This test is run as a control to ensure the validity of the other testing. That your doctor did not realize this leaves me speechless. I personally (and I am no medical professional) would not rely on either your or your daughter's blood testing. I think...
  17. L.J., you are one who TOTALLY gets it!!
  18. Lost more collars that way. Finally gave up because her fur got all matted around the collar anyway, fuzzball that she is. If she gets out and gets lost, she is on her own Perhaps I could get her microchipped??
  19. I am self-diagnosed so was never tested, therefore there is no baseline I can ever test against. I just go by how I feel But I do know that it took me at least three years to heal (sorry if that discourages you, but I am probably older than you, too!).
  20. You may never test absolute negative - don't forget that under 20 is negative so you are so darned close - congratulations for getting that low. I think that is wonderful and cannot understand why you are upset Don't fret, just keep doing what you are doing, tighten up any areas where you may have gotten a bit lax (if any) and test again in another year...
  21. What a "beloved" you are for making the time and effort to learn how you can support her through this difficult transition in her life. And yes, it is difficult, because you have to change the whole way you think about food. Whereas before you could just grab anything that looked appetizing, now the first question has to be, "Is it gluten free?" And frustratingly...
  22. I have always just figured that that stuff is only for nerds and freaks. - but what about Jess??
  23. Gluten is one instance where you are encouraged to be OCD
  24. I had a bison steak last night (have to get it from Wal-Mart now, they bought up the supply - TJ's can't get it) and it was pretty tough. Next time it's ground and seasoned (by me of course).
  25. Whole Foods has introduced a new grading system for their organic beef 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. I didn't have time to stop and read it all but only 5 means it hasn't had any grains and is entirely grass-fed (and they didn't have any). Hubs had bought me some Whole Foods beef and insisted it was grass fed, but it must have been a 4 (mostly raised on grass, I believe...
