    Still watching Ike.....they have a guesstimated track....but these devils have been known to do some crazy things.

    My daughter loved the challah when I worked for the Jewish Community Center in town. She went to pre-school there and they had it every week so I understand. Let's see if we can find some gluten-free challah recipes: Open Original Shared Link This one looks really good: Open Original Shared Link This company makes it: Open Original Shared...

    I wouldnt do that if I were you. If she is dx Celiac ANY amount can do damage. And what happens if she doesnt have a reaction. She will say, "See Mommy I CAN eat gluten." And there will be no turning back...... Then she would eat gluten when she wanted and be causing herself internal damage (that may or may not have symptoms) risking type 1 diabetes...

    Well I would love a place like that locally here in Tampa FL. And many others would as well. But keep in mind that the restaurant/cafe business is one of the toughest ones to pull off. I dont say this to discourage you from opening your own, but be realistic and only invest money you can afford to lose. Perhaps find a few others who are "for the cause...

    For awhile my daughter (12) kept saying we were so weird because of the food we eat. But every friend that has been over to play or stay the night has TOTALLY loved my gluten-free foods. They say things like...."Ive never had sweet potatoes before. These are delicious!" and "Can I have more of this or that?" The food is good. Period.

    If something has a funky smell, out on the porch it goes to "out gas" for a week or so. Then I bring it in and re-smell. This usually does the trick. Most of the out-gassing is at first and if you do it outside it doesnt get trapped indoors.

    I know it is tough when you are on a grocery budget. For me food is life. Simple. I dont pay to get my nails done every week. I get my toenails done maybe twice a year when I will be on vacation. I dont smoke. I dont drink soda. I dont eat out anymore. I dont have a cellphone (that's right). I keep my hair short and easy and get it cut...

    It's true. I ran out of regular oil once and used olive oil in a cake recipe.....yuck!! Macedamia nut oil would be another good choice.

    I am not sure Judy....but I am a renegade so I would just try it. I even eat the flops unless they are totally disgusting.......LOL These things are too expensive to waste. Luckily I dont have too many flops. and Purple....I dont do white sugar, so I wonder how sucanat would work........the real unprocessed sugar cane.... What I REALLY want...

    IMHO all Jesus really asked of us was for us to believe in him as our Lord and Savior. Everything else is just ritual and symbolic. They are not required. But I dont want to get into a religious discussion. Think about what bread must have been like in Jesus's day. The wheat had a much lower gluten content and they relied heavily on other...

    Yeah...someone posted it in another thread and I couldnt help myself. Whatcha got? Our family favorite with the almond flour are blueberry muffins. Yum!

    Magnesium is necessary because most Americans are deficient due to lack of dietary intake (not enough green leafy veggies for one). And a Celiac is more likely to have malabsorption on top of that.

    The biopsy can tell you the extent of the damage. It can also give an official dx "for the record". There are reasons that you might want the record to state Celiac. But there are other reasons you may not. It could effect her future ability to garner health insurance....."Pre-existing condition". Whether or not to biopsy is up to you. If she has...

    Dont look at Ike's current path.....you wont like it. Enjoy those toilets while you can.....

    Ohhhh....tread lightly Jessica. If your body is just "building up T3" in the blood because you dont have enough cortisol (adrenal hormone) to get it into the cells (where it works and makes you feel better) when you add an adrenal glandular there is a possibility of a "thyroid storm". Google that. They are NOT fun. I had it shortly after my daughter was...

    1) Does she have a high Antigliadin IgG? What does this mean? I personally would say it is high. I learned with my thyroid that "in range" doesnt mean "right for my body". 2) Would Celiac sprue show up in a person so young (11)? It can show up at any age. 3) Is there some other serum test, such as tTG IgG, that we can do to confirm Celiacs? I would ask...

    From EVERY reference range I have seen for total IgA that is either rock bottom or down right deficient. What this means is that he will NEVER get a positive antibody with IgA (even if he is so severely Celiac that he develops lymphoma) because his body simply does not product much of that antibody. When this happens astute doctors then test IgG. Which...

    How does moisture get in.....We sweat A LOT at night. More than you might think.... Me and my hubby solved our bedding issue by buying 2 twin extra longs. We each picked out the bed we wanted. I like a firm and he likes a soft. We each got what we wanted. They are pushed together with rubber disks to keep them in place. The dont move unless we...

    I read some feedback on those beds....A few people actually liked the bed. Most hated them. And a few on that particular site mentioned finding black mold. One lady simply called the company and they sent her new foam parts. One lady suffered through a few years of respiratory illness of "unknown" cause that got better after she ditched the bed. Thank...

    He could just say. I have Celiac. It is kind of like an allergy. I cannot eat wheat, barley or rye and most oats. If I do, my whole body can be affected and I get sick. And even if I dont feel sick, my body can be damaged.

    Im gonna have to "tweak" it Kathy. It tasted really good, but the consistency was odd. My husband took some bites and said....I think I like it....but it is weird. And we all laughed. Im eating leftovers today for lunch. Maybe sitting in the fridge overnight will make it better (like soups and chili). Will let you know! I just made grain free, sugar...

    That is what I want to know? How did the mold spores get there?

    Pamela's chocolate chocolate chunk cookies crushed would work good for the dirt.

    I just ordered some of your favorite coconut oil RiceGuy. Will let you know. I also purchased some Lo-Han sweetener. Anyone tried it? It says no calories and no glycemic index just like stevia. It will have a "mild" fruit flavor......
