    Just a word of caution on rice noodles, most of them contain wheat. But there are rice noodles and I think you would certainly find them at the Asian market that do not contain wheat. Just be sure to read the label.

    If you're having a problem with even the lactaid milk you might not have a lactose issue but maybe a casein issue. We recently discovered that this is my husband's issue and he's not celiac disease or gluten sensitive.

    corn tortilla smeared with spaghetti sauce sprinkle with oregano, garlic powder and onion salt, top with cheese (add diced ham for a treat) and bake for 7-9 minutes in the oven (depends on how crispy you want it).

    ARCHIVED Joint Pain

    Lockheed replied to Lpa's topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    I had osteoporosis at 20 which is what caused a further investigation and resulted in the celiac disease diagnosis. My joint pain didn't subside for a good six months but I think a lot of that was because I was on Fosamax for the next two years trying to actually grow bone again. My bones are now relatively normal, but I was still achy for a while waiting...

    I haven't bought flours at my local Asian Market yet (I'm affiliated with a food testing lab so usually I get the left over 10 lb samples from corps), but I did notice at ours that they have tapioca flour for dirt cheap, clabber girl baking powder in the large can for dirt cheap ($1.29 for the x-large container) and also rice flour. I think once I have to...

    How do you make homemade almond milk? I know he loves almonds.

    So my husband found it a relief when he met me because he had always thought he had problems with milk. If he drinks a glass of milk or has a milkshake or a soup that's made primarily with milk he has bad tummy issues. He said he even tried the lactaid milk and still had bad tummy issues. So I'm thinking it's not a lactose intolerance but a casein intolerance...

    Ack! I can't do the coconut milk (serious coconut allergy.. I only have two.. coconut and cashews.. everything else is just a sensitivity). Do you think I could sub in goat's milk there for the coconut milk?

    Well.. I'm a silent sufferer. At 20 I developed osteoperosis and only found out because while riding my bike across campus to get to class I hopped a curb and my then 10lb backpack strap caused my right collar bone to shatter (okay well not shatter exactly but one full break and two fractures and all of which lined up with the strap when they finally x-rayed...

    Yup.. I'm sensitive to soy and gluten (and a bunch of other stuff). I'd say cut the soy and also give your body a little more time to heal. it's still purging a bunch of junk so who knows what the response will be.

    "Compared with infants who were exposed to gluten at 4 to 6 months (the referent group representing when the introduction of cereals is generally recommended), and after adjusting for HLA-DR3 genotype, children initially exposed to gluten in the first 3 months of life had a 5-fold increased risk of CDA, whereas those who were not exposed to gluten until age...

    My 1 year old is gluten free. He eats what I eat. I introduced wheat at 4-6 months as per the European recommendation as indicated in some research that this early introduction was correlated (not causal) with either a delayed onset of celiac or no celiac at all. However, after the first time of feeding him cream of wheat he vomited two hours later. For...

    Yes. I have a life insurance policy through State Farm and my premium is twice that of a smokers because I disclosed that I have celiac disease. However, if you have it and do not disclose it, that can be grounds for them not to pay out on the policy. So my only recommendation would be to not cancel your old one until you know what the new rate and terms...

    Okay.. so I mentioned recently to a family member that we were considering moving to Boston. Not anytime soon, but in the future. I fell in love with Boston because it was the first place where I could ask for a gluten free menu or gluten free menu items and the waiters knew exactly what I was talking about and didn't just stare at me blankly like I'm an...

    You're making me want to sign up. I've never even heard of this before. Maybe I will go...
  16. Lockheed
    yeah saying I'm a celiac did horrible things to my life insurance premium.

    I'm so glad I read this.. I'm now 14.5 months post partum and I stopped breastfeeding 2.5 months ago (when my son turned 1) and my cycle hasn't returned at all. My doctor said if it doesn't return within 3 months after I stop breastfeeding since we breastfeed until my son was 1 that then he would want to look into it further. I'm glad I'm not crazy in thinking...

    I think the only reason to do it right now is if you need to claim some sort of resulting disability or work accommodation. I came out incredibly ambigious on all my testing except food sensitivity (which shows wheat rye barley oat amaranth millet and hops - so I have something a little more broad spectrum than just gluten going on for whatever reason)....

    Oh hell no you're not being unfair. That's like asking an alcoholic if you can keep liquor in the house. And I don't know about your house, but in my house, my DH knows that we eat better because everything is freshly prepared and of higher quality because we quit buying junk that comes in a box. I know I am raising my son to enjoy and prefer fruits and...
  20. Lockheed
    Dead on. I think public awareness will make more people aware that they have this condition and it will also make the commercial market realize that we are a consumer base to be catered to. This will encourage manufacturer's not to stick gluten in everything and saturate the market with one ingredient and also encourage them to find tastier products especially...

    I've pureed things like corn or green peas or broccoli and stirred it into the mashed potatoes and added cheese. I'm so glad I read this thread.. some of the previous suggestions are really good ones like the fruit jello and fruit ice cream cubes.

    Okay so what is everyone's opinion on Goats Milk instead of cow's milk? I know there's the lactose intolerant crowd and the caisen sensitive crowd and supposedly goat's milk is okay for caisen sensitive? I haven't looked into this yet, it's just what DH was telling me because he thinks he is caisen sensitive.

    I abandoned premixes a long time ago unless I'm visiting relatives and just need to get through the weekend without being terribly sick. I tend to make my own now and once I find a blend that works well, I make a big batch of it and dole out the right serving size into containers or ziplock bags so I just grab a bag and add the wet ingredients and viola...

    I should clarify also that I'm not trying to undermine the ADA. They have a very difficult job trying to sort out what is safe and isn't safe for a celiac because it is probably difficult to find someone who is just a celiac and doesn't have other sensitivities also and not all celiacs are the same as we know from here. Props to them for even paying attention...
  25. Lockheed
    Sure. They also say that I shouldn't have an issue with cross contamination. Some people do and some people don't. The sensitivity level is probably the difference. The distillation process in hard liquors (with nothing added) should remove enough gluten proteins that it shouldn't trigger an incident, but if you're drinking 2 or 3 liters of alcohol in...
