    I agree with the other posters. And with you --family can be the worst, the ones you love & trust the most are often the most hurtful in their comments.I'm a mentor & help hundreds with their gluten-free journey but some family just don't understand even though they seen first hand how healthy I've become... It is very hard to accept.... Make sure...

    ARCHIVED Bottled Water

    mamaw replied to Lexi's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Bottled water is gluten-free but there are no laws regarding its purity. It could just be tap water from somewhere. It can be natural spring water from untested springs... Dr Oz just did a piece on this very issue. I think consumer reports has done research on this issue as well. There is very few natural springs in the US. Yes, I agree the water you purchase...

    there is also the online testing kits.......I agree with the other posters that you should get some testing done. when your child starts school they will need some documentation....it will make yours & your child's life much easier. Has your psorasis suffer ever thought of going gluten free? of course no cure but it does help on the gluten-free diet...

    Yiu have a wonderful story,but I agree doctors just don't understand or maybe don't care to. Please continue to educate anyone who will listen. You are proof that happy endings do happen but everyone must take charge of their own being. We are the ones who know how we feel not the doctor... You are so blessed & I wish you continued health...Itoo was...

    Many companies now have gluten-free plants or buildings to process only gluten-free . Others use the same lines to do wheat & gluten-free products but generally they are cleaned before & or after each use. Some gluten-free people will only buy from places that only do gluten-free, others who are not quite as sensitive will buy products from lines...

    I think as an adult it is a matter of choice.For a child I think they should be tested as schools will need doucumentationto serve the child food, proper gluten-free foods. Some adults need to have a doctor's seal of approval stamp to make their illness complete & true, others find that feeling better on a gluten-free diet is seal enough for them...

    ARCHIVED Ttg Test

    mamaw replied to Annie4439's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    wow, you are doing well with your level dropping that much in four months, some people it takes a year or better to get those results. Kudos to you. But yes, your level needs to get much lower, under five is good.. Keep up the great work.....

    It's really hard to say if its a flu bug or gluten. I will suggest that you put the child back on wheat products & do the proper testing so you know....the reason I say this is that in the near future the child will be attending school.For the school to be permitted or willing to feed the child gluten-free under the disabilities act they will need the...

    ARCHIVED Envelopes?

    mamaw replied to elk's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Years & years & years ago gluten was on envelopes(glue part) but you are pretty safe now days. But my thought on licking envelopes is who would want to put that in their mouth when they are not sure what was on the machine processing that envelope!*!*!* I'm fairly sure it is not a sterile place that I would feel comfortable with putting in my mouth...

    I've watched all day to see if anyone would answer your request. So far, no one. All though I can't tell you how to blog nor do I want to state yes or no to blogging. There are many hundreds of bloggers & no one monitors what is said, it can be true or false. I for one am very selective about what blogs I trust. In the celiac world misinformation is...

    I put some type of noodle , elbow,ditalani or some shape in many soups& have not a problem but I do use the closest thing to the wheat counterpart.. I cook it in water first ala dente then add it to my soups. It reheats fine but I don't reheat over & over &over again either. I have even froze some with fine results I have found most egg noodles...

Tinkyada is usually an easy find Joan's gluten-free greatbakes has a nice size pizza crust plus NY style Bagles, & English Muffins to die for.plus more. Everyone likes different types of pizza crust, some thin, some pan style, some thick...

    You could start with a endo with at least three biopsies. The celiac bloodwork...Stay on wheat & gluten or the testing will not be accurate.... You could be just gluten sensitive& not have celiac disease where a person has damge to their villi... That's a good thing ......in the end either way the only help for either illness is a full gluten-free...
