    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...

    ARCHIVED I Need A Better Doctor

    khyricat posted a topic in Doctors

    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...

    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

    I have to schedule my biopsy later this week (not sure when it will happen yet.) I was told to wait to start removing gluten until AFTER the biopsy.. if anything to OD on gluten containing products in the meanwhile to make sure the damage is clearly visible...

    This is a benefit of location- I used to live in Windsor, Ont.. its less then an hours drive away- if I can't find something here and the Canadian equivelant is gluten free- I may take to driving across the border to pick stuff up on occasion. I go over to visit friends sometimes anyway!

    I asked at my favorite mexican restaurant today.. I was picking up lunch for my husband Bill and I, but am not gluten-free yet (doc asked me to wait on test results). Anyway- there wasn't anyone there for lunch at the moment, and the guy at the counter walked back to check if they had gluten free tortilla's for me. The wife of the owner (who was managing...

    enjoy it.. as long as you have a good strong mixer its quick and easy... and so yummy!

    be careful with powdered sugar.. some has things in it that might be gluten... most has cornstarch which is fine though... I make icing and decorate cakes, and the ones made with the alternative ingredients don't work as well in icings either... the cornstarch is preferred by most bakers anyway!

    one note- I have a friend who has some major health issues (not celiacs) but when she had the flesh eating bacteria and lost her leg and part of her thigh, they told her to eat large quantities of protien while int eh ehaling process- she did so and has lost over a hundred pounds... she has a hundred or so to go still, but! and didn't remove other things...

    Dianne- waffle house is southrn.. I'm in MI too- Ann Arbor.. waiting on diagnosis, but the more I read and learn the more I think this is the answer and if the test comes up negative I may try gluten free anyway! we used to go a lot drivign down south.. Amie

    dried fruit (I make a lot of my own), maybe some cheese in a cooler? and carrots or other veggie sticks...
  25. khyricat
    Hummus and tehini as well as babaganoush are all wonderful on vegetables... or on corn tortillas... as to fish- some taste better then others and to an extent that is personal choice.. but one thing to note- fresher fish is less "fishy" then less fresh fish so if you have a local fish market it may be helpful. Also- Tuna steak can be prepared any way...
