    Happy birthday and may God bless you today!

    my plan is to talk to my brother, if i can ever get him alone.. because she doesnt cook, she does whats easiest NOT best time and time again (not that she doesn't love her kids, shes just irresponcible and self-absorbed) and saddly i live very far away from home. he has SUCH bad symptoms, that i know he will do whatever it takes to be healthy again, and...

    what if the child is keeping a food diary that proves his symptoms occur every time he eats gluten, combined with doctors' opinion, and having at least 1 if not multiple first degree relatives with celiac, enough evidence to be considered relatively equal to a positive test? at the very least, the food diary proves gluten makes him incredibly ill, whether...

    my brother was tested for celiac.. and it came back negative in both blood and endoscopy. they still think he has it, because i do, our symptoms nearly match, and they tested him for everything else under the sun. he was only been having symptoms for 5 months (though debilitating symptoms) when he got tested, and had been semi-gluten-free for two months...

    generic Allegra is the one and only allergy medicine that works for me - that alone was not enough to dissolve my gluten-worries, so when i first got diagnosed i had my pharmacist make a call, and she said it was gluten-free.

    what are "Stax Plain"? if you mean lays.. as i mentioned, i have a severe soy allergy and those chips would make me very sick. they also contain some of those nasty big/non-food words that send up a red flag for anyone with a sensitive stomach. isn't there anything healthy, soy free, dairy free, and gluten free in potato chip form? not corn chips.. i...

    ehg, well that stinks. the only other gluten-free chips i know of are kettle brand, are those safe?

    there was an episode of the US sitcom "friends" where monica, a chef, took a job trying to make recipes for and market a product actually called "mockolate" .. after she spent all week cooking with it and serving it to her roommates, it was rejected by the FDA because it caused awful side effects in large doses. Funny coincidence.

    these bars are labeled gluten-free and generally praised by parents of kids with all sorts of allergies.. but i think theyre giving me a "soy reaction" or maybe even glutening me! i was pretty much fine, until i added three things to my diet - utz chips (on occasion), onions & glaric (on occasion) and Kettle Valley snack leathers (daily!) i was...

    i used to have paper-thin hair, i couldnt keep the ends of it strait, it was greasy if i didnt wash it every day with strong shampoo AND blowdry it on high, now its fuller, shiney, and i only need to scrub it 2/3 days! my hair has always grown so fast, i wouldn't notice a speed difference, though.

    i was diagnosed with insomnia when i was 9, it was at its worst when i was 12-14, then again when i was first on the gluten diet i still get it now, if i get glutened by accident, for the next week or so, i just stay up till morning it seems. it does seem like some sort of "cleansing" "brain wired" reaction, sense i have an adrenal imbalance. i always...

    i am on month number 5! i dont know it counts, sense i made many mistakes. my home is now 100% gluten-free, but i am still afraid to eat almost anywhere, but i will go to Outback, and i will buy coffee of two safe brands if it appears bread-protected and regularly cleaned. but, i celebrate today! it feels like i am finally past that awful "trail and...

    two problems there - i cant cook, and he is close to a chef. he knows the difference between gluten-free and regular everything, because he cooks gluten-free food for me. he knows it can taste good, he just REFUSES to try being totally gluten free. he says he will "maybe cut back slowly" but never drop it. if he doesnt drop gluten, how can i ever convince...

    oops, delete- very sorry, computer error.

    my brother throws up from celiac easily! i only did once, that i know of, but it was from wheat crackers. my brother throws up from all sorts of things.. the celiac effected his stomach to the point that he cant even eat watery fruit without having queasiness. I read it was very common, when i posted a similar thread, and most of all, it seems to be...
