    Bob's all purpose flour contains garbanzo flour and fava flour, two bean flours. You may have a problem with legumes??? I know I do.

    I would encourage you to continue making your cakes, using the mixes at first until you become more experienced at gluten free baking. One of our forum members has a gluten free cake business baking special birthday (and other occasion) cakes. She makes the most fabulous creations.

    Thanks! Would you mind very much sharing your blonde brownies recipe

    Two other places to look are the Newbie 101 link () and the FAQ's at the top of each section of the forum. They contain lots of general information.

    Doctors tend to be very blase about how long diagnosable damage lingers in the GI tract. It can depend on how severe the damage is (If your daughter's numbers are as high as they appear to be your ped. could be right), but it is generally accepted on this board at least that healing begins to take place immediately upon the withdrawal of gluten, and that...

    What do you use for sponge in your trifle?

    Beans and peas are also legumes, but people call them vegetables I bet people would find it weird to find out there were legumes in their cosmetics if that was the way they referred to soy..

    You will rarely encounter anyone with zero antibodies - we all make a few. That is why they have calculated those ranges. Of course, his eating no wheat could have affected his score and if he is allergic to wheat I would watch carefully for symptoms of celiac. How long has he been wheat free? And did his problems with milk show up before or after wheat...

    I don't think you are going to encounter a gluten problem with mayo; soy, yes, but not gluten. If the tuna had a dedicated spoon and then used a clean knife and gloves, then I think you did all that you could do. Sometimes we just have to take a risk - for some of us the risk of not eating is greater than the risk of a small amount of cc, though no cc is...

    Don't you just HATE that weasel kind of information. They may as well not bother with "vegetable source"!!!!

    Be careful of what you wish for I have a severe lectin intolerance. Lectins are found in gluten foods along with gliadins - they are also found in dairy, nightshades, legumes, corn, soy, citrus, I am fortunate to not be intolerant to the dairy lectins, but I am to all the others. So for example no beans, peas, potatoes, tomatoes, lemons, Mexican food...

    I became aware that when we keep developing additional intolerances to foods that it can be because we have leaky gut syndrome, and that until that is healed we will not be able to regain the foods we have lost. And for some of us it takes quite an effort to heal. I am hoping mine is healed now. I have tons of foods I have been avoiding for 2-3 years now...

    Thank goodness, a newspaper article by someone who has their facts straight. Wish there were more like this!

    I eat at a small lunch counter where the owner/chef is a celiac, and it is so wonderful to feel totally safe.

    Hi Ikautismmom, and welcome to the board. It is pretty clear from this side of the fence that you have some serious gluten issues too. I would probably expect your blood work to come back positive. Whether or not you have the confirming biopsy is up to you -- nobody can force you to have it. With a son with gluten issues and the symptoms you have, a diagnosis...

    Youe daughter is certainly one of the few and the lucky if she truly no longer has to eat gluten free. Long may it continue!

    Hi Thorski'smom. Do not get too hung up on the genetic testing for celiac. It is certainly not definitive. There are two really common genes, DQ2 and DQ8, and these are what are commonly tested for and cover the majority of celiacs. However, you are not excluded from being celiac if you do not have either of these two genes -- other genes are recognized...
  18. mushroom
    Why don't you get the testing done first, then ask questions? (I believe the European flour is very different to that in the U.S. - in terms of gluten content, hybridization, etc.)

    Indeedy! A place that does not know its limitations is dangerous territory.

    If you have been losing (or not taking in enough) fluids, you could be low on electrolytes. Try taking some magnesium (and some potassium to balance it out) or take some Pedialyte.

    beachbirdie is right, the first step is to get the testing done (and do make sure you get a copy of the report - and of your other testing). With those in hand an evaluation can be made of where to head next. Your symptoms have all been associated with celiac (and other) diseease.
  22. mushroom
    When you are new it usually helps to take a good quality (high in nos. of organisms) gluten free probiotic to promote healing in the gut, and often some digestive enzymes to help break down your food since it is the longer chain (not broken down) amino acids getting through the leaky gut which create the mischief.
  23. mushroom
    I was never tested at all. For me, knowing that I had all the symptoms (Including other AI conditions), took the cure and got better means to me that I have celiac. To heck with their darned tests that they never thought to offer me.

    Welcome Ibis from Down Under. We will gladly help share your burden if it will ease it in any way. Just let us know.

    OMG, that little lady is wonderful!!! Hat off to her.
