    I have successfully replaced 1c. soy with 3/4c sorghum + 1/4c brown rice.

    Our granddaughter is 4 and is showing some of the classic childhood presentation of celiac disease. My wife has had the genetic testing and she carries DQ8 and DQ6. We know the genes are present and my wife is slightly sensitive to gluten. There is also Northern European and Irish descent on all four of our granddaughter's bio-grandparents. Stunted growth...

    A number of my symptoms refused to resolve until several things happened: We made our home entirely gluten-free - including our pet food and cookware I went on a whole/raw foods diet only for about 8 months. Eliminated casein and all cow dairy products from my diet. I eliminated all grains and grain based products. Verified all our viatmins/supplements...

    Yes. As I've said before though that is a question with no statistically valid answer since the population sample is self selecting with a bias towards positive results. Well he lives in a trash can! That would make anybody cynical since all you'd ever see is the world's garbage, never any of the good stuff. We should all chip in and buy him...

    873,028. I was counting. We don't have cable or satellite, but I still like to watch Food Network and other food shows because I love to cook. But now when I watch my thought is always...how can I make that gluten-free? Usually it works out pretty well too. Last weekend I made chicken breasts in a peach and mango sauce. *drool* ...

    Both soy and gluten will trigger my RLS. By the way, I know the author of your signature quote: my mother! :blink:

    I'm also one of those 'anti-grain' people, but I also know that the best food lifestyle is the one that your particular body needs - excluding processed foods and additives and preservatives, etc. Our youngest son trains and fights amateur MMA, and he cannot get by without some starches and carbs. However he is quite wise in when and what he eats. He...

    Yes, I used to suffer from this horribly. I didn't know it had a name until now and I never associated it with celiac disease or gluten!! When I read this I realized that I haven't experienced this is at least a year or more! I used to deal with it every few days and it has faded away!!! Wow! Another thing to chalk up to going gluten-free/CF that I didn't...

    Hi obaketenshi, I also tested positive for casein antibodies. I was off dairy for over two years. I don't know what the laws regarding buying raw milk are in Michigan, but I found just in the last couple months that I can handle raw milk products with no issues at all. Pasteurized dairy products still produce the same reaction (projectile vomiting, very...

    Hamburger steak (grassfed local beef), a handful of sugar snap peas, and fresh, cold, straight from the cow milk. *drool* (we need a emoticon for drool!)

    Hi Kristin, There is no such thing as 'mild positive'. That's like saying you are kinda pregnant or you kinda have cancer. You either are (or do) or you aren't (or don't). For a biopsy to show 'positive' in any manner is (IMO) positive. Now they may have intended that to mean, 'Mild flattening of the villi on the Marsh scale' which would make sense and...

    ROFL...Thank you for the laugh! I seriously did LOL at the mental picture because I've had that same conversation with a very overweight co-worker who I think is jealous that I've lost 50lbs (22kg) since going gluten-free. That is a fantastic way to use their own gossip against them! I love it!

    OK Skylark, usually I agree with a lot of what you say, but I have to (almost) take offense at this. Before going gluten-free I used to bring desserts to company BBQ, desserts or pasta salads for our Relay for Life BBQ every other Friday, make breads for various functions, etc. I don't recall getting asked for a recipe more than a handful of times in several...
  16. Korwyn
    Yes. Especially as you are in the early stages of healing. It seems like most people become much more sensitive for a period of time when they first go gluten-free and start healing. For some this 'super-sensitivity' decreases but it can last for months or even a year or more. There is a group of us (I'm including myself not necessarily you) who seem to remain...

    Not all tea's are gluten free. I have found a lot of tea's which are not. Barley malt doesn't have to be declared as an allergen. I can't kiss my wife when she is wearing some of her Avon lipstick. The Mary Kay lipstick is OK. As a vegan are you taking any enzyme or vitamin supplements which may contain gluten (wheat starch in the binding agent or gelatin...

    I'll be blunt: he is either very ignorant or an idiot. I'm guessing ignorant, hopefully not willfully so. This concerns me. You do realize that ingesting gluten can take a long time to heal? Some things I've read have said up to four week to recover from the damage caused by ingestion, but most I've seen tend to say up to two weeks. If you have...

    One thing I try to do is every two to four months I take a Saturday and I BBQ a lot of meat (rare). Top Round, pork blade steak, marinated flank steak, roasts, chicken thighs and drums. I put portion sizes in 1qt ziplock baggies, fill up a gallon ziplock bag with portion the 1qt ziplocks, and freeze them. Takes about 3-4 hours to do everything and clean up...

    I got glutened by wiping down a cutting board with a dishrag with which our daughter had wiped up formula. So yes, I think you could be glutening yourself. On another note, I'm confused by why so many people feel guilty about making others eat gluten free food. For Thanksgiving last year we had Turkey, Stuffing, Green Beans with onion and bacon, candied...

    Hi Marie, When I went gluten-free I went fairly strict, but not completely gluten-free house. I got better for a few weeks but then started having issues. I was developing a much higher sensitivity to cross-contamination. Eventually we went completely gluten-free in our house. I don't allow anyone to bring gluten foods into the house except for beer...

    I don't have an explanation, but there is a lady who came to our GiG group for a while who cannot eat chicken fed on soy. Chicken fed on corn is fine, but chicken fed on soy makes her ill. She apparently has done deliberate blind testing on this and can tell every time.

    I would suggest you try a digestive enzyme per the mostly likely non-dietary reasons Mummyto3 mentioned. NOW Super Enzymes have helped me a lot.

    Korwyn replied to Laurie H's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Thank you DA. I was reading this and getting more and more irritated that people were coming away with a bad feeling about the GAPS book/diet/research not realizing that either she never fully read it, or she created her own little proof-texted reality by extracting parts of multiple source materials to construct her mishmash of ideas. I was hoping...

    Yes, I can eat both goat and sheep cheeses. I can eat raw milk cow cheese with no issue too! But as I study more on the effects of pasteurization and homogenization on milk, I'm less and less surprised by what I'm finding for my own personal experience. Everything needed to digest all the components of milk is present in raw milk, but almost all of the enzymes...
