ARCHIVED Why Small Bowel Biopsy?
MichelleC replied to vanessa's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
And, Vanessa, just to try to ease your fears...my 7 and 9 year old daughter and son had scopes back in August. They both did great. No problems at all. I'm glad you're going to a Children's Hospital. They are good at taking care of both kids AND parents! :-) BTW, Celiac was confirmed in both. I have it, too. Michelle -
ARCHIVED Help I Cant Find Anything Good To Eat!
MichelleC replied to poodlethree's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I've had great luck with Bette Hagman's "The Gluten Free Gourmet Bakes Bread". My girlfriend gave it to me for Xmas (she is so supportive of my gluten-free-ness!! It feels really great to have that kind fo support.) I used to only use Manna from Anna for my bread machine. I still like it, but I've been having a ball playing with the bread in Hagman's book... -

ARCHIVED Penicillin?
MichelleC posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I had suspected strep throat last week. My doc prescribed plain ol' penicillin. I took 3 tablets over two days. On the second night, I had a flip out session with my kids. I got so angry, really yelling, like I haven't in a long time. I felt like Jekyl and Hyde. I couldn't figure it out. I started wondering if I got gluten somehow. I wondered if it... -

ARCHIVED Irritability & Weight Gain
MichelleC replied to tannilisa's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
I also gained a little bit. (I was in the normal range for my height before, still am) My dietcian said that's good, because it means my intestines are healing and absorbing more. And, yes, emotional reactions to gluten are very common, as you've read here. M -

ARCHIVED I Saw A Dietician
MichelleC replied to a topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I am very lucky. I live in the Boston area and got to see a dietician who has Celiac herslef. It was GREAT! Then, took my kids to see one at Children's Hospital and while she was pretty knowledgeable, I still knew more than she did. So, if you are in Eastern MA and want a name, let me know. Michelle -
If one was trying to see if lactose was an issue (a non-celiac person), how much dairy should they cut out? Just obvious dairy or baked good with dairy, too? Thanks, M

ARCHIVED Gingerbread Houses
MichelleC replied to DawnI's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Try a regular gingerbread cookie recipe, just sub in a gluten-free Flour mix (I use Bob's Red Mill) and about a tsp of Xanthan gum per two cups of flour. -
Thank you! I did a major cleaning and I think the culprit was a bag of coarse ground cornmeal. So, I hope this helps me. It's icky!! M

ARCHIVED 2 Months Gluten Free And Feeling Down
MichelleC replied to lilliexx's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

Joe's American Bar and Grill...not real upscale, but nice and down on Long Wharf, right on the Harbor. It's a local chain. I had my first meal as a diagnosed Celiac there and the waiter was very attentive and concerned and the manager came over and checked on my needs, as well. There's also a PF Changs in the Park Plaza, I believe. Good luck! Michelle...

ARCHIVED Awesome One Bowl Chocolate Cake Recipe
MichelleC posted a topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
This will be especially great for all of you moms and dads who must send gluten-free treats into school for your kids....better than any "regular" cupcake they might be "missing out" on!! It's my regular (well, my girlfriend's) recipe, and I just subbed in the Bob's mix and added Xanthan gum. I cannot tell any difference. Moist, dense, delicious! 2... -
