    Good Morning HelpinOhio, I'm glad to hear that you are feeling better. I have to agree with Mushroom and the others who have posted. A lot of people have had sucky childhoods. I think the whole bright and shiny, full of giggles childhood is a bit of a myth. Childhood is a time of powerlessness. Adulthood is much better. You are in control. You can choose...

    Hello John, Is this an emotional thing for your wife or is she super sensitive? I have a co-worker who says he gets hives in his eyes just from the gluten in other peoples food. I've seen the hives. It's awful. For me, it's emotional. I feel stupid admitting this but... a couple days ago I (a grown woman with three children) was laying in bed crying...

    Hello A&Z's Mom, Are you looking for finger foods or baked goods? There are a lot of websites with recipes and box mixes for baked goods. I work and my kids are teens (15,17,18) so our snacks are quick, filling and travel easy. Here are a few... 3 ingredient peanut butter cookies with enjoy life chocolate chips peanut butter and apple slices coconut...

    Wow some of you are really harsh. Makes me wonder if I'm in the wrong place. My doctor didn't even bother with the blood work. One look at my elbows and I had a diagnosis. Oh, he has treated five members of my family for over ten years. He ordered my sons bloodwork today. My child will not be suffering through a biopsy as I refused to have one done myself...

    Ok I'm new to this also but it sounds like everyone's a little different. Maybe due to the extent of the damage to the small intestine. Some celiacs can not tolerate any dairy protein at all (that's me) some are lactose intolerant and some lucky devils can eat all the gluten free ice cream they want too! When my trouble started my family dr told me to use...

    Hi Roda, My first reaction is very mild itching on my elbows. I didn't even notice I was doing it until a co-worker with celiacs pointed it out. Second is a missed BM that extends to a week of missed BM's even with MiraLax. I didn't realize I was damaging my intestine until I could no longer digest dairy. I'm so glad I don't get hives in my eyes like...

    Good Morning Mother of Jibril, Thank you for posting! I was recently diagnosed with celiacs plus allergy to celery (dairy protein, soy, wheat, brewers yeast, sweet potatoes). I had removed bread, cheese and vinegar from my diet long ago because they gave me headaches (mold allergy?). Last summer I had to remove all dairy. This winter all gluten was gone...
