    Why the worry over flying? Aren't people allowed to bring their own food in a carry on?

    I've noticed that there is a trend for people to say that they are sensitive to gluten and then proclaim that they can have a bit or have some predetermined amount because they "just aren't as sensitive as me." I invited one such individual over to my house and started chatting with her about gluten free bread recipes and she said, "Oh well, I'm not as...

    The prices have gone up drastically! I used to be able to buy it for $2.50 a pound at Costco. Now it's $5 a pound at Costco and $5.44 a pound at Sam's Club. I usually buy it at Sam's, because Costco is way out of my way. Are there any ways to get it cheaper or is $5 a pound as good as it gets anymore?

    I didn't try the recipe yet, but I plan to.

    I wanted to add Sophie's Kitchen! It's a great vegan, gluten free seafood alternative! Many of their options are soy free as well. Open Original Shared Link

    I tried their fishless sticks and they were so good! All of their products are gluten free and many are soy free. I can't wait to try their "tuna" and "smoked salmon." It's also a great option for people who are not vegetarian, but have seafood allergies. Open Original Shared Link

    Does anybody have experience with them or know what their procedures for preventing CC are? Open Original Shared Link

    Open Original Shared Link Yum!

    Mmmm....the marshmallow salad sounds good! I'm sure that I could adapt it for my diet, because I have some vegetarian marshmallows at home and you can get dairy free cream cheese. I'm totally going to go look up a recipe!

    If I ever have a non-emergency hospitalization, I'm totally going to Bronson hospital in Kalamazoo, MI! When I was there with my son for his femur fracture, they presented us with a full gluten free menu, including gluten free bread and gluten free veggie burgers. They even had a gluten free quesadilla! I'm wondering if their accomodations have something...

    I'm wanting some ideas, because it seems that I often get into a rut and bring boring personal food for potlucks. When I say "food for potlucks," I mean personal food to eat while others are eating off a buffet. So if you have potlucks that you go to, what interesting things do you come up with to bring for yourself? I have a 4 cup size glass dish with...

    I have hope that in my lifetime they will come up with celiac tests that don't involve gluten consumption. You never know what possibilities could be out there.
  13. BlessedMommy
    I'm sorry that you still don't know what's going on. If all testing is negative or conclusive, there's always the option of trying the diet 100% for 6 months and seeing how your iron levels do and seeing what happens with any other symptoms that you have.

    WOW without Wheat 1754 Central Park Dr, Okemos, MI 48864

    I thought that it would be fun to have a thread with the weirdest places that we've spotted gluten. I think that the winner for me would be when I found jelly with gluten in it. It had wheat glucose syrup. Also, barley sweetened soymilk.

    Yep, the baking version does contain flour. Sorry that you're sick and hope that you get on the mend quickly!

    I also keep a box of shelf stable snacks in the car. Things like GoPicnic's, Larabars, packets of Planter's nuts, etc.

    Yep, it's my understanding that it's best not to test for an allergy unless you've had a clear reaction to that particular food. The false positives can lead to lots of unnecessary dietary restriction.

    We live in Tiny Town too, Cathy! We're in rural Michigan, so we don't have a lot of choices. We have to go to a bigger city area even to go to a Red Robin's. I'm going to my SIL and BIL's, and I'm packing KIND granola, fresh fruit, hard boiled eggs, and assorted types of yogurt (dairy for others, non-dairy for me) for the road. For lunch, I got one of...

    Can you shop around for a GI who can get you in earlier?
  21. BlessedMommy
    I agree, the avoidance of gluten could have contributed to the negative biopsy results. There's actually no such thing as a gluten allergy, but sometimes people call celiac that to get across the need to avoid gluten. Do you have your bloodwork from 2 years ago handy?
  22. BlessedMommy
    Yep, I agree with the above. Get a new doctor that will listen to you. If that fails, self-pay for celiac tests at a private lab. It's worth it to know if you truly have celiac or not. Good luck!

    Is there a medical test for lactose intolerance?
  24. BlessedMommy
    It looks like they ran a celiac panel and she came back strongly positive on one of the tests that is less specific to celiac. So, they didn't refer you for any follow up?
  25. BlessedMommy
    I'm sorry that you're dealing with these issues! It sounds like no fun at all! Is gluten challenging your kids and getting full celiac panels for all of them an option, preferably with a doctor that will seriously explore that avenue? Being in dietary limbo land is no fun at all. My kids had serious eczema when they were little and I attempted to take...
