    We LOVE it! My daughter likes it better that Kraft. I dissolve the cheese in milk and add about 2 tbs of butter to make it creamier. I hope you like it.

    For me it started in the hospital right after delivery. I had D terrible and it never stopped. I was diagnosed one week after my 6 week check. I didn't own a scale at home so after my six week check I knew what I weighed. I was still sick and my ob wasn't concerned she told me to take anti direals. I saw my family Dr a week later and had lost 10 pounds...

    Your story sounds very similar to ours. I am the one with celiac and I had all three of my children tested this past spring. My 8 year old was positive. She had no symptoms that I saw, I actually wanted my oldest tested and decided to test all three for a baseline. She is doing great on the diet. It helps that we have all our family meals gluten free anyway...

    My husband has Chron's disease and he has clubbed fingers. I was at his fist GI apt with him many years ago and his Dr. made a note of it. Said it common in Chron's Disease.

    I believe its the amount of hair. I have noticed my hair I have is much stronger and healthier. It is just so sparse..Very depressing. I also think the hair is getting larger toward the shaft. If I pull a strand that has come out during normal daily getting ready. It feels bigger toward the end that has the bulb on it...I am hoping this is a good sign. What...

    When I started this journey I had a ferritn of 2 and hemoglobin of 8. It it almost one year later. My ferritin is in the 90's and my hemoglobin is 13.5. I am feeling great. I am still holding out some hope that my thin hair will get better.... I am hoping someone will have some encouragement for me. Will it ever get better or is it the female pattern hair...

    Hi, I eat a Pei Wei at least once a week and I LOVE it. I also get the edamame when the manager has time to make it gluten free. If you order it regular they drop in in the same water as the noodles.... I have not had any problems and I always get the spicy chicken with brown rice. I eat at the Woodbury MN location and have never had any trouble with ordering...

    My oldest of three had bad tummy aches, I wanted to get her tested, since I have celiac. My Dr said why don't you test them all for a baseline. I did and my other daughter came back positive and she had no symptoms. Of my three only one has tested positive, I will keep watch on the other two. good luck

    Hi, usually use Crystal's hot sauce but Franks looks safe too. I am sure you could sub the ranch for blue cheese. The light house brand is gluten-free and I think it adds a great flavor! its really yummy I bring it everywhere. w

    I was just thinking of this myself....I have decided not to go and torture myself and my 8 year old daughter who was just diagnosed. I think I will die if I see a corn dog. Here is what I was considering to be safe. You will have to make sure and ask questions and possibly read ingredients if they have anything for you to look at. foot long with no bun...

    Hi, I would love to hear your ideas for both!!! Wendy

    Hi, Well there is no magic solution but I find it helpful to get them outside early in the day....swimming lessons, tennis, Vacation Bible School, library, lunch at the park, community ed programs, girl scout camp. Just going somewhere each day helps. Then when we come home I can get a few things done. lets face it, its summer and things may slide a bit...

    Hi, Are there any good gluten free graham crackers that taste like the ones we remember? thanks, Wendy

    Hi, Are there any bottled drinks that are safe for us? I had read a post that Smirnoff Ice was safe but it says Malted beverage? I did email Smirnoff and they said it was safe because its distilled from corn. any advice would be appreciated. Wendy

    Hi, I don't know a ton but I was just asking my GI about the Ttg numbers. This is what she said 0-3 Neg 4-10 weak positive greater than 10 positive. I was an 84 in Feb and now am a 4. Testing at labs may have different perimeters. Good Luck! Wendy

    My intent here is not to cause a debate. I only wanted to post the information because I did read a lot of the past discussion without actually going to the website for myself. I thought they were safe. Now that my 8 year old daughter is positive I will not be putting anything into her body that has the words ALLERGENS contains WHEAT. It is a personal...

    So some trace wheat is ok for Celiac's. I was not aware of this. I thought any wheat was bad no matter the amount.
