i plan on just going gluten freea nd trying it- haivng been told that I wasn't underweight though I have a bloated belly and thus can't possibly have anything but IBS, no celiac... but I do get worse when I eat gluten.. I have a largely gluten free diet naturally because of that... so going completely gluten free won't bee too hard- just gotta get to the...

vanilla sugar is just that vanilla flavored sugar- it can be bought in most specialty foods places (whole foods), wherever the local jews get their passover supplies (my normal less expesive source) in March or april, or made: just use a sealed container and place split vanilla beans inside with the sugar.. leave them for awhile, then use... penzey...

I'd rather not drive as far as the doc listed on the SE MI Celiac support groups homepage- its at least an hours drive each way.. but I may do it anyway- I was just told that celiac only shows up in 2 blood tests - the other 2 don't need to be run because they only mean diagnosis a small part of the time, EVEN THOUGH They were what was done to diagnose my...

I do the chicken one above but with canned mushroom soup instead of the cream and the onion packet, though I can't have eithr of the soups anymore.... another few.... tuna/salmon/trout/any fish ont he grill brushed with: bbq sauce, honey mustard (make your own- small amt mustard powder in pure honey (to taste)), veggies on the grill.. skewered...

its ok where it is..... welcome! I am still trying to get the docs to give me a positive diagnosis, but make sure you had gluten in your system BEFORE the bloodwork or it will come up negative or uncertain! Good luck

Thanks- mom says she thinks the doc is laughable because they are ruling things out without proper testing in her mind- she has crohns and I didn't have any new physical tests- just bloodwork, but they are saying because I didn't have physical signs of crohns 3 years ago I don't have it now... even though my SED levels are high, AND she says I sound like...

The blood tests came back "negative" now she said soemthing about less then 20 which meant negative is this true? I need to look up the testing results others posted. I was actually hoping it was this, because otherwise I am still undiagnosed. I know my bumps and stuff aren't as bad as the pics I've seen of DH- they are just itchy bumps and only get...

There are a # of reasons for cakes to fall.. the most common is that the oven door was opened during baking and the temp wasn't consistant enough... try being sure not to touch the door until after the recommended bake time. Another option- as mentioned above, try inserting more air into the cakes by beating the eggs before use, I do this, as well as...

One note- I have a cousin with RA and she (with the help of her doctor) has been able to control it mostly through diet and exercise, BUT this is a very special process.. and if she misses a single workout she is set back weeks before she can regain the pain free state. Amie

Fish sushi should be fine as long as they leave out the imitation stuff and the soy sauce (which isn't in most of it anyway) I'd try salmon or tuna or even whitefish in a california roll.. personally those are the roll I am least likely to eat though. Amie who could live on sushi

a neat trick if you want jam/butter on muffins in a car: make the muffin as normal, but take a piping bag (icing bag/parchment triangle folded, etc) with a large round tip on it. Push it down into the muffin and squeeze a fair amount of the jam into the muffin. YUMMY and less mess.. also works with butter/margarine.. and with fudge/fluff into cupcakes...

Tio's. there are 3 in the ann arbor area- one on huron downtown, one at washtenaw near hewitt and one in the shopping center at the corner of ellsworth and stone school roads.

Merengue Kisses: 4 egg whites 1 cup sugar (granulated) 1 tablespoon vanilla sugar Beat all ingredients until VERY stiff peaks form Optional: liquid food color (add before beating) crushed chocolate or mini chips (fold in at end) chopped nuts (fold in at end) spoon or pipe onto parchment paper (about 1 tablespoon each in size) bake...

that confuses me, I was told if I went gluten free and reduced gluten intake before the biopsy there was a large chance of a false negative as my body would start healing. She told me to actually gluten load, to both get it out of my system if I do have celiacs and to make the damage more obvious for the biopsy. Then I am to go gluten free and hope it...

and they are the ones I use (even before this possible diagnosis! thanks for the update. I really appreciate knowing that one
