    Food for Life Tortillas. They are thick and sturdy, do not break or fall apart, they're made from brown rice and they are awesome! I just heat them up in microwave about 30 seconds, but you could probably eat them right out of package. I eat them almost every day, they replaced bread for me.

    I have the same exact thing.......well, the pounding heartbeat, not the bloating though. And it does jolt me awake on occassion. The weird thing for me, is that it's almost an enjoyable feeling, not the jolt, but the moments just before the jolt, like a very deep peaceful type of sleep. I know, very weird! I'm sure I have other food intolerances also...

    I am so jealous! I've been trying to convince nearly everyone in my immediate family that they should look into testing or try the diet as they all seems suspicious for gluten intolerance to me.......it would make things so much easier at holiday time just to have a "partner" (or two) so to speak. Good for you though! Just curious, did you convince them...

    I definately suggest listening to some of your favorite music. This works every time for me!

    Well, my daughter being diagnosed with celiac was the first I ever heard of gluten, that was a little over two years ago. The more I read and learned, the more it all made sense. I had negative blood testing, but was still convinced I was probably gluten sensitive. Started gluten free/dairy free anyway, that was in June (09)....then did the enterolab tests...
  6. elle's mom
    I called enterolab myself with this question, because I want to know of course should I have hope? Anyway, the nurse I talked to said that there really is no definitive answer to this: some people are able to eventually heal and add foods back in, BUT she recommended eliminating for at least 18-24 months......then maybe retest, that's what I was thinking...

    Sue, I have been gluten and dairy free for awhile, but also new to soy, yeast, and also egg free. If you don't mind, could you post how you make your own mayo? I would really love to try this as it is something I miss. Also, I would love a good casserole recipe that may fit my restrictions. I have never tried the Ener-g breads, are they really good? ...

    It's so hard to see our little ones suffering. For this reason, I put all my kids on a gluten free diet regardless that only one of them is actually diagnosed. Two of the other ones have had symptoms and it sounds like so does your little guy. With such an intense reaction, I would at least try the blood test, you never know, it may be positive. But in...

    ARCHIVED Test Results

    elle's mom replied to The Glutenator's topic in Doctors

    False negatives on biopsies are very common. It just means that there are some areas of your small intestine that aren't completely demolished and your surgeon managed to biopsy this area rather than an area that has been affected. The damage to your intestine may but patchy, but that doesn't mean you do not have celiac disease. Although with the positive...

    I also found these just yesterday at WalMart.

    I'm looking for any research related to gluten intolerance/sensitivity or celiac disease and a possible link to alcoholism. I've googled, but haven't found anything substantial. Anyone have an actual study or publication they're familiar with? Thanks.
  12. elle's mom
    Wow! Thanks you guys!! I am starting to realize there is life after gluten, dairy, soy, egg, and yeast; who would've thought! I am super excited to buy some ingredients and get going. This is just what I needed
  13. elle's mom
    No, butter is out due to the no dairy......but maybe I could use that Spectrum organic shortening. I never thought of marshmallow fluff, I wonder if it's egg, soy, and yeast free......I have the Enjoy Life chips and I agree, they're wonderful. I sometimes just eat a handful of them for a treat:) Thanks for the suggestions, I'm totally clueless and this...
  14. elle's mom
    OK I just learned in another thread that you could substitute unsweetened applesauce for oil in recipes, this may help me as I can no longer have soy (veg oil). I was thinking maybe peanut, saflower (sp?) or another type of oil may also work, anyone tried this in baking? What types of oils work/don't work when making say cake or brownies (either homeade...
  15. elle's mom
    So do you just sub directly the amount of oil for the amount of unsweetened applesauce? I've never heard of that! There is so much to learn......
  16. elle's mom
    That's a hard one when they're not your kids you don't choose what foods to buy for them. It may be difficult for you being a nanny.....it's much easier when it's your own house, you make the rules. Maybe with older kids who aren't covered in food, but it's so hard with little ones. But to answer your question, and this pertains to at your boyfriend...
  17. elle's mom
    OK, I can handle being free of all these foods myself, not a problem. Problem is will my hubby and kids eat what I make and I do enough cooking I can't cook two meals for every meal.....so I need lots of ideas to experiment with. The criteria are gluten-free, DF, soy, egg & yeast free.....we love rice, corn, and nuts. Also tomato and potato are welcome...
  18. elle's mom
    Yes, I was satisfied with the enterolab results even though I had tested negative by blood test. This is the first time I had used enterolab, so no I had never gotten a negative result from them. Yes, I have heard that the stool test is much more sensitive and accurate than the blood test that is why I did it.

    Hi Everyone, After my daughter's diagnosis with celiac about two years ago, I began to read and research like crazy. This was a real eye-opener for me and many years of symptoms (since childhood) which I never knew could be related to one another and to gluten; I just knew that I was gluten sensitive as are many others in my and my husband's families...

    Fellow clueless/hardly-ever drinker joining in here; so is what I'm getting from this that the only drink I've ever really liked anyway (Fuzzy Navel) actually gluten free? Would this be able to be ordered anytime without asking a million qestions? Like say at a wedding reception, not necessarily in a regular bar.
  21. elle's mom
    It says right on their website under the gluten free tab on the garden fare menu that the "signature italian dressing" is gluten free...... Open Original Shared Link Maybe whoever told you that was misinformed? So frustrating and scary when you get conflicting information like this.
  22. elle's mom
    I don't know the exact percentage answer to your question, but we were told that our daughter with the same genes as our other daughter diagnosed with celiac, has a 40% chance of developing the disease. My opinion, in case you care, is that why would you chance it by giving the child gluten; you're both gluten free anyway. It seems to me (this is not medical...
  23. elle's mom
    I called the customer service number on this exact dressing awhile back and was told that it was gluten free.......I use it all the time.
  24. elle's mom
    HOW SAD that a doctor would be this ignorant...........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  25. elle's mom
    First of all in response to your first post: I totally agree with everything the other two posters said. We also have guests over all the time and when they eat in our home, they eat gluten free. We have really become quite eloborate, at least compared to before for us, on our meals since going gluten free, and mostly "normal" food too. Not being able...
