  1. A biopsy after 6 months gluten free will not tell you anything. You probably have additional vitamin deficiencies. Can you ask your doc to run a vitamin panel?
  2. did you hear back from your GI about all the problems after the endo? I would think that he would want to address that.
  3. I think a trip to the GI would be in order, and maybe a colonoscopy. The white stools could be a candida problem, and that's pretty easy to fix. It shouldn't be painful to poop. Maybe you're getting too much fiber? 30-35 grams per day is really all you need.
  4. I honestly don't think he is ever going to get it. Every time I read one of your posts, I think back to when he signed on and started complaining about how touchy you are. Girl, I think you might be better off without him. I am sorry he is such a jerk, but your health and sanity will be better off without him. You deserve some one who cares about you...
  5. My only abnormal lab was positive IGa, and it was confirmed Celiac. You need to try a 100% gluten free trial. I bet that's what it is, based on your symptoms.
  6. Well, here's what we did. I am Celiac, as is my 9 year old. My 12 yr old tested negative, but had vitamin defiencies. A shared household is dangerous for 2 of us, so we are all gluten free. It certainly would be safer for you to have a gluten free household. In the end, I think it's up to you. If your child wants to have gluten once he/she is old enough...
  7. Also Henry's and Mother's Market.
  8. So sorry you are having these issues. You could try replacing the tapioca with potato starch, and the xantham gum with guar gum to see if that helps when you're doing your baking?
  9. I agree, stay gluten free and forget the tests! The answer for the bread is Udi's gluten free. It comes in whole grain and white. Soft and delicious and doesn't need to be toasted.
  10. It would be helpful if you could post your test results, with the name of each test. Sometimes doctors do not order the full panel. You could always try a gluten free trial....
  11. I was diagnosed with Lupus, which I dont have, hypothyroid and osteopenia and osteoporosis, and some other things, which all turned out to be related to Celiac, which I do have. Be thankful that your doctor understands the related issues and will be testing you. Many here had to suffer for years before being tested. It makes total sense to be tested...
  12. Jason, I have become very sensitive, and it doesn't bother me at all. My son eats it every day with no issues. Janie
  13. HI and welcome to the forum. My son and I are Celiac. He was 9 at diagnosis. Here are some tips: Since she has stomach issues, she needs time to heal. It's best not to introduce gluten free replacement foods for a few months, and she will probably heal faster off dairy. Dairy replacements: coconut milk, almond milk. Add some chocolate syrup to it...
  14. HOw crazy is that? I used to have dreams at least once a week where all my teeth fell out, I had a big presentation to make, and I couldn't get them fixed. Either every dentist was closed, or my insurance kept saying they wouldn't cover it. Haven't had one since going gluten free. Can you hear the Twilight Zone music playing?
  15. Lara Bars and Kind bars are both safe.
  16. I had lunch yesterday at Amazon. It's a Brazilian Churascarria, with grilled meats carried around by Gauchos. Delicious and all the meats except for the sausage are gluten free. They had gluten-free Yucca bread. Almost everything on the buffet was gluten free as well. It's on Lemon St. just north of the 91 freeway. 24 hours later, and I am still fine
  17. The challenge is that there is very little difference between Celiac and gluten intolerance, as far as symptoms go. Doctors like "concrete" and this is not a concrete problem. I supposed you could keep going to doctors trying to get a concrete answer, but many of us have done that, and not gotten anything but frustrated. If you feel better off gluten,...
  18. Testing for children is notoriously unreliable. Why not put the whole family on a gluten free trial to see if they have a positive dietary response? It's non invasive, mostly non traumatic (life without Goldfish crackers can be considered traumatic to some kids ) and may make a HUGE difference in their health. Give it a try
  19. Woop woop de doo! Sprinkles is gonna have cupcakes for us on Monday!!! Open Original Shared Link
  20. You need to go on a completley gluten free diet and probably have to give up dairy, too for a while. Cross contamination is a big problem, so it's best not to eat at restaurants until you've got it completly nailed, and that takes a while.
  21. I think Trillum Hunter and I must be from different states. They do vary. In GA, they are between a muffin and cake, with no discernable layers. As you can see, biscuits can be very personal
  22. a muffin is a little bit drier than a Southern Biscuit. Add some moisture and a muffin would be fairly close.
  23. Why not just pack her a cold lunch or put something hot in a thermos? My son takes his lunch to school everyday, in a lunchbox with an icepack or a thermos that I heated with hot water before putting in his lunch. He eats with all the kids, and more importantly, he does not need to have special accomodations, and does not miss out on anything. I do not...
  24. Jason, does it feel like you're full to the gills? If so, I had that, too. I found that grazing for a week or so helped it to go away. I also take Aciphex, for GERD. My doc thinks that the problem is actually not enough acid, though. I am trying HCL for that. Anyway, after a week of grazing, that full feeling went away. Are you taking 2 caps with each...
  25. Sorry to thread jack, but jackay, what type of testing did you do? Through your doctor, an online lab? I am looking for an accurate intolerance test. Thanks
