    It seems the most frequent response to, "I'm gluten free." is "Oh, so is....." Most people have at least seen the "gluten free" on the box of Rice Chex at the grocery store. It doesn't have to be a big deal. Bring your own just in case but feel free to chat about celiacs and find out what your host knows. They may also be gluten free.

    Hey Googles, my teens would live on burger, chips, salsa and velveeta if I let them. If it's not on your list add it. No way to mess it up and it's cheap and filling. Hope this helps RA

    Ask the chef to cook separately for your child! All resorts do this now. They are required to take classes about CC. The public on the other hand, the folks touching the spoons know nothing. Don't chance messing up your vacation by making your child sick. Also which parent did he get his celiacs gene from? Why is this parent eating from the buffet? Call ahead...

    From what I've read and experienced yeast when attacked makes a surge of growth. When I take probiotics the yeast surges and my hands itch between my fingers when I wake up in the morning. After several days it stops happening and my mucous in all areas of my body clears and thins out. And then I get lazy, stop taking the probiotics, eat sugar cookies (rice...

    Yeah that was the reaction we got also... problem solved.... no follow up needed unless you have further problems. If you doubt your dx have a sandwich....... OK nobody said that but that's how it felt. But on a nicer note. This is less of a change than it seems at first. Eating a rice and corn based diet instead of a wheat based diet makes us just like...

    When she can tolerate fats..... peanut butter and rice flour thinned with coconut milk...... I saw this on a documentary about saving children in third world nations where a lot of the children were lactose intolerant. Keep a big bowl of cooked rice in the fridge. You can add coconut milk, sugar and cinnimon for cereal or chicken broth and canned or frozen...

    I'm so happy about this I just had to share it and only you guys will understand.... I am no longer reacting to molds, celery, perfumes..... haven't had a headache in ages.... don't even have an antihistamine in the house so I'm taking all those allergies off of my signature! Feels like burning a mortgage!

    This wasn't on purpose but just sort of happened..... each person in my family who is gluten free has found another person at work or school who is also gluten free. Having these people to talk to and share with has been so important to us. A few days ago I was able to take a cake to work to share with my co-workers just like before all this happened. My...

    There are a lot of possible reasons for Autism. And yes I can see that a person who's system is already fighting gluten will be less able to successfully fight other enviornmental badies like mercury preservatives in the flu shot or hormones in milk, soy and meats. That said.... I have three fairly healthy kids, much healthier when they are not ingesting...

    Mine says that I'm 151.4 lbs. It's a digital I bought at Walmart. Scales are like horoscopes, fun to read but not to be taken to seriously!

    Now that I feel healthier and less tired my body is ready for some excitement but all this talk of rashes and poop has put the damper on the mental part of it There are somethings that my guy didn't need to know
  15. OptimisticMom42
    I know the answers you were given are very good advise but in your situation where quick relief is needed I use a wax bullet! A suppository inserted before my shower has me going before I leave the room. When I have a rash and can't go it's to late for flax, water and a jog around the block.

    This is an old thread but I just wanted to my experience to the list of happy customers of The Great Wolf Lodge in Traverse City. We were there for a training conference. The chef came to speak with me before each meal and came up with such wonderful looking dishes that the others in my group were asking questions. We also visited The Bowers Harbor Inn...

    I'm really enjoying the way you descibe things! Have you thought of writing a novel? I would love to read it if you do. On point though, over the last ten years my weight has been all over the place. 140lbs, under 100lbs, 165lbs, 150lbs. Size 8, 0, 14, 10. I would love to get back to a size 8 but my level of sensitivity is getting in the way. I don't...

    Maybe its a probiotic.

    I always get pain in my left wrist and hand (and left ankle/foot) a couple days after a glutening. There is an article somewhere about how vitamins and minerals effect different sides of the body. Like left hand pain may be low vitamin B. And during a glutening my insides are swollen, maybe unable to get vitamins from my food so my vitamin levels drop...

    The newest numbers say that 1/3rd of the human population is gluten intolerant. Or maybe it's just that nobody should eat that stuff. I agree with your friend, everyone has celiacs! Nobody should eat grains.
  22. OptimisticMom42
    The blood tests come back negative for a lot of obvious celiacs. Screw the blood tests just stick to the diet Now I know I'm getting better, my sas is back!

    for baking we like coconut milk
  24. OptimisticMom42
    If you're worried about iron causing C take mag also. It will help.
  25. OptimisticMom42
    I'm taking 1000mg of mag before bed. If I skip it I get cramps in my feet and my motility slows waaaaaaay down.
