ARCHIVED My 9 Month Old And Celiac
Swimmr posted a topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
I haven't posted in a very very long time. I was dx with Celiac May 2009. Moderate soy intolerance, but no other issues with other allergens that I know of. Haven't been tested for other sensitivities. I started LO on solids a little after 6 months and she's done extremely well with it. I'm curious though as to what to look for when/if she shows any... -
ARCHIVED Are My Kids Too Young To Be Tested?
Swimmr replied to mamato4's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
So there's nothing in the genetic test that waves a red flag saying "HEY you have Celiac!"? I have been completely mislead then. Wow...so why wasn't I told this? I honestly haven't ever read it either. OMG. I'm sort of shocked right now. -
ARCHIVED Are My Kids Too Young To Be Tested?
Swimmr replied to mamato4's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
My question is what is wrong with drawing blood and doing a genetic test? Why are docs SO adamant about doing a biopsy? Why go the invasive route? From my research, a genetic test is 100% accurate. And happened to be the only way I got a positive test. Biopsy was inconclusive, and TWO regular blood tests that were false negatives. I have a 9 month old... -
Third time is the charm...got it

No, because I got the initial confirmation just fine that supplied to link to celiac.com for the final stage of resetting the email. I click on the link and then it tells me that an email has been sent with my "new" password. And still nothing is there - not even in the junk folder.

Hi, I am already a member and don't prefer to start a new profile since I've been a member under another name for years now. I am Swimmr. I haven't visited in a while and needed to log in and the password I thought was under my account, isn't, so I clicked on the "forgot my password" and got the email to click on the link to finish the process, then was...

ARCHIVED Newborn - Mother With Celiac
Swimmr replied to Swimmr's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
1. I am on valtrex, however have been scared to take it even though it's safe. Haven't had any since her birth date (11-7). But I am taking a prenatal still, which I was taking 8 months prior to conception for the vitamin D content. I take a fish oil and have been through out pregnancy. I also take a probiotic and have been since 8 months prior to conception... -
ARCHIVED Newborn - Mother With Celiac
Swimmr replied to Swimmr's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
Thank you and thank you Yeah I wasn't gluten free till 2007, also 25 years as yourself. My elimination diet revealed that I most def have an issue with soy. Green peas not so much anymore and corn was an issue, but not anymore. So soy is the only other allergen I am intolerant to besides gluten, of course. So my milk IS gluten/soy free. When I... -
ARCHIVED Newborn - Mother With Celiac
Swimmr replied to Swimmr's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
I'm exclusively gluten free...all derivatives, everything. I have always followed cc issues carefully and do not subject myself to them down to the toaster and baking racks in the oven. I don't not think it can't be anywhere. My coworkers thought I was a bit psychotic, but whatev. I haven't fully "bathed" her yet. She's had a few wipe downs with a lavender... -
Hi all...it's been QUITE a long time since I've posted. But I have been lurking here and there. My elimination diet was successful by the way. So in that amount of time that I've been MIA, I managed to get myself pregnant and hubby got deployed. He's due back really soon. However I went into labor 4 days before my EDD. My biggest fear was that she would...

I can't successfully communicate with my local Mi Casita restaurant in regards to their white cheese queso. I have searched and searched for information on this and come up empty. I want to know if anyone can either find out or if anyone just knows if it's safe or not. I'm 16 weeks prego and craving some beans and rice SO bad...and I have chips here...

ARCHIVED How To Make 'mock' Ferrerro Roche Chocolate Candies
Swimmr replied to irish daveyboy's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
What can I use in place of nutella?? It contains soy lecithin and I have a slight intolerance to anything using soybean oil or lecithin. -
So I was thinking that I'd started a thread one day being extremely frustrated about an all purpose gluten free flour to use with EVERYthing instead of using crazy mixtures. My mother is the experimental one. I'm too impatient and hate failing at cooking, so after several fails I take another trip to my whole foods market in town and start talking to the...

I know sometimes its easier using the separate flours for a good blend, but find it way easier to buy it already mixed. And when it's labeled, "Perfect Flour Blend" you expect to use it as a sub for any gluten free flour blend that a recipe calls for. I buy Namaste's perfect flour blend. I've used it for a modified red velvet cake - which ended up coming...

Swimmr replied to Darissa's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Oh yeah definitely. I've done all sorts of cool things with the cake mixes by namaste. I was just rambling, really. Complaining I had a rough morning with failed pancake mix...
