    there are also those who had fibro and were treated for depression, and the fibro magically dissapeared. imo fibro seems like IBS, they know somethings wrong, but they just leave it at a blanket statement because they're not sure why you're in pain with no blood work showing anything.

    i think the way to go is put down the foil for YOUR gluten-free bread. as, it is already contaminated with gluten. and then let everyone cook however they used to. you will be fine. try to get the crumbs out of the bottom for good measure, but really, its the same as using a conventional oven tha has cooked gluten items in it, you'll be fine.

    i've heard rumors of these "toaster bags" lol, but i have no idea what they are, where can one find them? And, are they used in the microwave or like in a toaster oven to keep things safe?

    if you put whateve ryou're toasting on tin foil, the gluten crumbs ont he bottom will not jump up and land on your item. it is different in a conventional toaster bc the sides of the toaster squeeze together to hold the bread on. clean out the rack, and just don't cook anything gluten-free on the rack w/o tinfoil under it.

    even things that you never even thought could be gluten related could improve when you go gluten-free, because your body will be healing, and before, when your body was "sick", alot of things were probably not working right in your body! stick to it! you can do it!

    you should be just as strict! i'm going to soon be sharing a kitchen with a gluten eater, and i will have separate toaster,pots, pans (I will have red ones, he will have black ones so there will be no mistake), cooking gear, condiments, area of the kitchen, as well as a rule that there can be no flour, brownie mix, cake mix, or anything else "dusty" in the...

    get a gluten-free for kids cookbook. i can't remember the name of the one i have, i think it might be like literally gluten-free for kids. and, feed them naturally gluten-free snacks, popcorn, veggies, fruit, fruit snacks, raisins, gluten-free rice cakes

    well, when i spoke to them they said there was no known wheat rye barley or oats in their products. oh well, eat whatever yogurt you want.

    i say not. they , like many other companies are just covering their behinds so no one sues them. they're fine. if it had wheat in it, it would have to say, and what else could possibly be in yogurt? anyone bothered by it prob has a dairy problem, eat up.

    i'm not sure if this is a stupid question, but why would you think citric acid would come from corn? One has nothing to do with the other.

    actually, ensure is marketed as meal replacement, and many elderly people use it as a meal replacement. just fyi. it contains more calories than a slim fast, which counts as a "meal", so it can be a considered a meal replacement.

    i've heard about those books. there are also books that suggest a raw food diet is healthy, and those that suggest eating only protein no matter the fat content is healthy. grains have been the basis of diets for people for hundreds of years, and somehow, people are still here. I've been gluten-free for four years. No one else in my family has celiac. and...

    are you taking anything for it? loperamide/immodium/lomotil? Also, maybe an antispasmoadic would help. what does your GI say? Call one and beg for an appointment ASAP. Also, avoid anything really "fiber-y", like veggies like broccoli, and try some things that are binding, like rice, cheese(if you're not intolerant to lactose or anything), and potatoes. start...

    that sounds wise, however, i wouldn't stop at that untill you are sure it is nothing else, the sooner you get him feeling better, the better. (sorry that was redundant =p)

    you should find your local GIG group or celiac support group and GO! There are a ton of other people who have been through what you have, and seeing them face to face can help in addition to this forum.

    whole grains containing gluten can actually be quite healthy for those without celiac. I think us celiacs like to think we're smarter than those gluten eaters, but those who eat healthy whole grains usually really do just fine. It's the gluten in form of doughnuts and fried things that really make gluten so unhealthy.

    p.s., if you are trying to gain weight, these are great, if you are trying to lose weight, try the slim fast gluten-free ones, because i've found ensure to be not filling enough to actually replace an entire meal, and i'm relatively tiny.

    you won't start to feel better untill you totally cut gluten out. you probably reversed the small amount of healing that you had over the past week. try again. you will notice a difference pretty soon, some of it is pyschological that you are finally on the road to getting better. but it can take up to six months or a year for your tummy to fully heal. don...

    well, get a book to help, and i was only joking by saying the word dopey, really any grownup who doesn't actively take care of themselves and ignores a health issue sort of earns the title of "dope" in my book. If your husband is a grownup, he needs to learn for himself, get him the hidden epedimic the peter green book, and let him come to his own decisions...

    they are!

    there are a million other reasons why your kiddo could be having that problem. a food diary is a great idea, and, also, if celiac was the only thing investigated, maybe see a different doctor, there are quite a few other things that one should check for in a kid with those symptoms

    have you spoken to a doctor about depression? I know it sounds like a scary word, but, depression cuases physical pain and is usually linked with things like fibro...you should go to your dr and explain your symptoms instead of hiding. Also, when have you last had blood work and things tested about your lupus? because, if you are eating gluten-free you should...

    all five of you have celiac? have you actually been tested? are you aware the odds of that are slim to none? If your husband is eating pasta salad, he's a dope. he's a grownup, he should make his own decisions. Basic way to put celiac, no bread, pasta, sauces, seasonings, or anything out of a box. If it has more than three ingredients, it's probably not safe...
