  1. All the recipes for bread that I can find and the ones on the side of the packages all indicate that they are to be made with a bread maker. I don't have one nor do I have a big standard mixer. I have my hands and a regular old hand mixer. Can I still make bread?
  2. My 16 year old son has an extremely bloodshot eye. This has been going on for about a month. At first I thought it was pink eye but there are no other symptoms and the doctor has ruled that out. The eye doctor said it is episcleritis. I have been reading up and it is linked to many types of autoimmune disorders. It goes back and forth between eyes. It is...
  3. Has anyone used this before? My son's pediatrican is suggesting that we start this because he is soooo constipated. But I went on line and it seems like there is some concerns about whether it really works or not. Thanks
  4. I have the exact symptoms. I had a blood test through the "gold" standard lab (lots of money later) and it came back showing the genes but negative on tests. My doctor discounted my symptoms and said there was nothing wrong. I went on gluten free diet and felt better pretty quickly. Now I am having problems staying on it but I as soon as I eat gluten my diaherra...
  5. I need some advice because my 13 year old son's pediatrican seems to think that elevated total cholesterol and high phosphorus is ok. So maybe I am missing something so I would appreciate any comments. His cholesterol test is: Total cholesterol = 175 (<170) Triglyceride = 83 (<150) HDL = 45 (>40) LD = 106 (<160) Cholesterol/HDL ratio ...
  6. We are traveling to Europe and was hoping that someone might have some ideas for snacks that we can take along.
  7. My 12 year old son has the following results from Enterolab - Antigliadin IgA of 128 units (normal is <10 Antitissue Transglutaminase of 70 (normal is <10 Fecal Fat score of <300 (normal is <300) They recommend that he go on a gluten free diet which I agree. But I am confused. He is very underweight (5%) but it shows no malabsorb issues...
  8. My 12 year old son got his test results back as follows: Antigliadin IGA = 128 - <10 is normal Antitissue IgA = 70 - <10 is normal Fecal Fat score = <300 - <300 is normal. So, they recommended a gluten free diet which I can understand. But what I don't get is why his fecal fat score is normal. He is in the 5% in weight. I would think that...
  9. I have my 12 year old scheduled for a blood test later today but now I am rethinking it. It is a big deal for him to get blood tests done (autistic) and I am mad about how my own test from Promethus came back. My blood tests came back negative except for genes. I know that it isn't the labs fault but after all of your wonderful advice I went gluten-free and...
  10. I am interested in your child that is Aspbergers (sp?). I also have a son that has been dx with high functioning autism. He is a twin and both of them have had blood tests. All negative but positive genes and lot of symptoms. Can you tell me about your child?
  11. Sorry about that last post. New to posting. I am not on a gluten-free diet because the doctors keep telling me that it isn't related and that just because I have the gene doesn't mean I have it. Especially since my blood test came back negative. Although, I still have all sorts of symptoms. Soo frustrating.
  12. I have recently had a blood test done and it came back with one of the main celiac genes but everything else was negative. I have always had severe intestinal problems which all the doctors tell me are IBS. I have been living with this since I was 12. But what is more of a problem is that I have severe migraines a lot. (6 times or so a month). No medicine...
  13. I forgot to add that I have multiple white matter brain lesions that no one can explain. I have been reading that may also be correlated with celiac.
  14. I need a reality check from all of you. I have been going round and round with this issue for years. Here is the bottom line: Three children and husband - one child is short for age but no digestive issues. Nothing with husband either. Other 2 children (twins) test results: BOth have DQ2 (one has an additional HLA-DQB1 *0201, 0602) One tested through...
