    I just added a post in the baking/cooking section and noticed a typo in the topic title and was wondering if you could help me fix it. It should be Banana-Spice cookies. I had a typo that said Banana-Apice cookies. Oops. Thanks

    Here is a good recipe to use up those ripe bananas and a nice change from banana bread! This is a recipe from my Better Homes and Gardens New Cook Book 10th edition. These were a favorite of my family before going gluten free and just today tried them gluten free. Original recipe is as follows and changes I made are marked with an * and in parenthesis...

    My thoughts were wandering the other day as I was thinking about my family and my new diagnosis of celiac. I live appx. 550 miles from my parents and extended family and about 200 miles from the inlaws. It is just my husband, kids and myself in this town we live in. I got to thinking about what if I was in an accident or situation where I could not communicate...

    I just happened to read this in another one of your posts. It sounds like you are saying that you eat reagular spaghetti at your boyfriend's house. If that is the case you are injesting gluten hence the symptoms. Just a thought.

    I have been having (what I percieve) an issue with my blood pressure. It tends to be on the lower normal spectrum now. It was always aroung 112-118/75-80 so as normal as one can get. Now it depends what I am doing but it has gone as low as 96/58 before. It usually does this right after getting up from to fast from bed or resting. I have to be careful...

    I did a google search for abnormally low triglyceride levels and not a lot comes up. I did find a mention at this site Open Original Shared Link Interesting was the last paragraph. For some reason I think mine was in that range. Hind sight is 20/20. Any suggestions to raise ferritin levels. I'm not anemic.

    vit b12 was 315 ref range 180-914. I see the gi doctor the end of this month. After my diagnosis over the phone all I was told by him was to see him after 3 months on the gluten free diet. Now I am wondering if I should have had more things done before. Heck, I figured out it was celiac I shouldn't have to think of everything! Anybody have a bone mineral...

    I was wondering if it would still be beneficial to have blood work run to check for vitamin/mineral deficiencies? I have had chronic low ferritin levels for about 1 1/2 years (has never been above 6) that lead me to get tested for celiac. I had a positive IgA tTg in Sept. 08 with a positive biopsy in Oct. 08. I went gluten free Oct. 30th. I never had...

    I haven't ventured much out of the house yet, but my husband and two boys (8 and 4) are great. My oldest brags about some of my baked goods to his friends by saying they are gluten free. However sweet this information is, it is greek to his little friends. He is always looking out for me by asking can you eat this mommy or my mommy can't have that she...

    lisa25 I just wanted to say when I looked into threelac it was over three years ago. I believe there has bee more research and reviews since then. Here is an interesting review that presents both the positive and negative aspects of threelac so consumers can make a better informed choice. Open Original Shared Link

    Hi I was really suprised to see someone mention threelac. My youngest son has a terrible bowel yeast overgrowth from taking so many antibiotics. No I'm not one to take my kids for antibiotics for every little thing. I would make them do blood work just to make sure it was bacterial and not viral. He had so many issues. I had looked into threelac for...

    Have you had them checked for diabetes or other health problems? My oldest was a bedwetter, however he was dry at 2 1/2 in the day had never been dry at night till a little over 6 yrs. I was concerned and asked the pediatrician when he was five and assured me there was no need to worry since he had never been dry at night. He did say it would be different...

    Just recently, I have been "brave" enough to try making gluten free bread. My desire stems from the fact that I have failed to finde a mix or premade bread that tastes good. I have had some disappointments, but my last flop has turned into a good possibility. I was attempting to make chibatta bread and let it rise on a cookie sheet like the directions...

    Thanks for all the tips on the bread. I just think I was trying to do too much with no sleep. I just got up this morning and feel a whole bunch better. I may even try some bread again! I have had pretty good luck with all of the other stuff I have baked, but the bread I have been avoiding. I don't like failure! I need to lighten up a little and accept...

    Today is a really horrible day. I feel like I am having a complete meltdown. I think a lot of things are contributing to my overall mood and it started Christmas Day. I called my family to wish them a Merry Christmas and everything was good until my brother chimed in. I love him dearly but he can be the most insensitive jerk! We were talking about what...

    Well good news! The polp was a hyperplastic polyp the ones that are fairly common and don't become cancerous. I won't need another colonoscopy for 10 years. Yeah!!

    Welda- At least youhad one observant nurse during your colonoscopy!! I would very much love to read your book about your grandson. I wish I could express in words what I feel. It is so enriching. I had been researching for about four months iron deficiency and hashimoto's disease and what kept coming up? Celiac! I was on a crusade to find out why...

    I made these cookies this morning, while the taste was wonderful, I had a lot of trouble with the cookies crumbling. I used Tom Sawyer's flour blend and omitted the xanthan gum since the flour mix already has it in. By the last cookie sheet I figured out these things: Roll out the dough to at least 1/2" thick or more and don't leave the cookies rest 5...

    Thanks for the input. You know what they say when you assume. I have been wanting to go back to school for awhile, but I have had no idea what to do. I have contimplated furthing my education in the radiologic sciences, but since my diagnosis I have been having second thoughts. I enjoy what I do, but after 14 years of full time somethimes you just need...

    It has been around 1/1/2 months since I have embarked on the daily diet of gluten free. I have found, after reading several other threads, that from the get go I am very eager to find alternatives for foods once eaten and have been expermenting a lot in the kitchen. My family has been really supportive and tries all the new stuff with a smile, and for the...
