  1. boundaries. to me this whole situation seems to be about boundaries. I could bore you to death about with my in-law stories. (and this has nothing to do about food) When my kids were little they were not above inserting their influence on issues like discipline. I didn't mind if we were at their house. But if we were at my house, I wanted to run...
  2. hi, my 17 year old daughter is currently suffering fom depression, to which gluten sensitivity is at least a contributing factor. I also have a friend with confirmed celiac disease. Two of her daughters are affected, in slightly different ways. with one girl the effects are more intestinal; with the other the effects are more mental; if she eats something...
  3. I am new to this gluten-free world so I am the process of collecting recipes myself. But here is one of my child hood favorites my mom used to make, maybe you could adapt it to be gluten free? It virtually is anyways, I think all you'd need to worry about is what's in the tomato sauce (unless you made your own.) She used to make zuchinni boats, with...
  4. makes sense. I have started her on a multivitamin. It has B vitamins and other things like manganese. While I have her buy in on the idea that gluten may be a problem for her - chiefly because she herself now recognizes that eating something like bread makes her feel unwell physically - getting to actually take the vitamin has been a little harder...
  5. no, she hasn't seen an allergist yet, but a coworker (also a celiac) told me she has allergic symptoms to corn, so I don't think I will be making those muffins again. Your point about eliminating allergies is a very good one. Now, can you explain what you meant by "self medicating with fructose"? I don't understand that connection and would like to learn...
  6. I am posting as a new member of this board.... So what if someone wants to adopt a gluten-free diet as a healthy choice? Those of us reading and posting on this board are here for a reason. Either you have a confirmed diagnosis, or you are suffering symptoms for which you suspect or are wondering if gluten is the culprit, or you have a family member...
  7. Thanks Sulevismom, for the vote of confidence. It is sorely needed. This is child #2; her older brother presented very different issues as a teenager. that was an "adventure" too. He is now 22 and a very cool young man with his head on his shoulders and his feet on his path to the future. We got through the woods with him.... I have to keep telling...
  8. thanks you're helping me! I am a mom of a beautiful 17 year old girl who just a few weeks ago confided to me feelings of depression. She has not been definitively diagnosed as being gluten intolerant but.... when she first told me about it my immediate thought was the birth control pills she had been put on to regulate her periods. She had only been...
  9. This is a question for those who suffered from depression or anxiety that was related to your gluten intolerance. How long, after starting a gluten free diet, did it take for you to begin experiencing relief from or any change in this type of symptom?
