    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...

    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.

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...
  15. Swimmr
    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...

    I use Namaste bisquit mix, using the recipe for biscuits on the back of the bag, omitting some of the oil that is called for the recipe (because of using sausage). Then I add a pound of spicy sausage and 2 cups of cheddar/jack shredded cheese. I get my hands in there and squoosh it up real good and then use a tablespoon measuring spoon to form small balls...

    I hate Gluten Free Pantry's ANYthing. That and the pie crust mix contains traces of soy, so I don't mess with it. My mom found and modified an AWESOME pie crust recipe - graham cracker style. The recipe can be modified from pie crust to cookies with nothing more than using a pie pan vs a cookie sheet. For thanksgiving she mixed the graham cracker with...

    I loved the betty crocker baking mixes until I found out I have a soy intolerance...AND to make a standard two layer cake or a 9"x13" cake pan, I have to buy TWO boxes of cake mix, which is more expensive than buying one bag of Namaste chocolate cake mix (which is allergen free too) that makes a two layer round or one 9x13. *sigh* Thank you Betty Crocker...

    I am SO very glad I don't react to cocoa!! I eat Boom choco boom dark chocolate bars - they're allergen free! And they are YUMMY. I buy the morsels too for baking cookies and cakes/brownies.

    I've never been diagnosed or treated with medical attention. I just started taking Candida Freedom and Candida Digest when I did an elimination diet last winter and have continued to take them to current. I know that I've established both regularity and tolerance to yeast and milk again. I assume it's due to that because prior to starting on them, I couldn...

    I am sorry to say that I've still not figured it out. I was going to reintroduce my system to the agave nectar this weekend, but Thursday night I attended a military ball with my husband and I ate a plate of food prepared by the hotel kitchen staff...plain. However SOMEthing in that plate got me. I was having the same exact symptoms the night after as I did...

    I was almost certain I wasn't intolerant to soy too...until I did an elimination diet. Come to find out I am very sensitive to it. I get red welted-like sores/hives when I have it, which I get similar to when I have gluten. I break out usually the next day, and they stay for several weeks. They don't pop...they slightly itch and mostly just hurt after the...

    I was under the impression that if you have been diagnosed POSITIVE for Celiac, that means you carry a gene for it. In that case, it could be presumed that you've had it since birth, that it was passed on to you from one of your parents. I'm told it's genetic. Thus why there is a gene for it. Then the chances of passing it on to baby is very likely depending...

    ARCHIVED Dh Sores

    Swimmr replied to farmgirl12's topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis

    Are all DH sores alike? Mine are almost like hives. They generally appear on my buttox, shoulders, and/or shoulder blades. Sometimes around my hairline or on my scalp. BUT they NEVER look like blisters. They're very red, slightly raised, and like a large mosquito bite without the welt. I find them usually because it'll itch a little, then I go to scratch...

    They stayed IN the fridge. They weren't left out for any period of time except during thawing - but in the sink in water, in a zip lock bag. Well I made spaghetti sauce - all homemade and no chance of glutening or contamination or food poisoning there. I made that Friday night. We ate that for dinner. Saturday morning I had two eggs over medium...
