    What did they see on the biopsy? Seems to me that if they saw damage, then it's celiac. Because being celiac is kind of like being pregnant, either you are or you aren't. You can't be a "little celiac." I'm not sure why they would say it's "suggestive of celiac" but not positive?

    I'm glad that things have finally gotten sorted out for you! I hope for a day where doctors will diagnose based on bloodwork and not use the results of a negative or inconclusive biopsy to override positive bloodwork. I'm glad that you're feeling so much better! You will keep on improving! This is a great board to learn how to be gluten-free, I...

    I ended up making the bean burgers and they turned out reasonably well. The quinoa flakes are not quite as neutral as bread crumbs (because of the quinoa flavor), but everybody ate the burgers just fine. I would've preferred to have the bread crumbs, but I don't always have them on hand. Time to start turning leftover waffles into bread crumbs and freezing...

    Updating to say that I wonder if it's normal to feel this normal. Through the help of this board, I've learned how to be strict with my gluten-free diet and my chronic anxiety has improved by about 80%. I used to have literally days where I would go in circles worrying about the same issue over and over again. Now my mood is comparatively quite normal...

    Thanks for the input. I think that I'm going to use part bread crumbs and part quinoa flakes and see if it works. I did google and found a recipe but it wasn't really similar to the one that I wanted to make, so I wanted to see if anyone here had actually tried it. I'll update after I make them.

    I have a black bean burger recipe that I want to make but don't have enough bread crumbs. Do you think that quinoa flakes would work? The recipe is here: Open Original Shared Link

    I love Amy's dinners! At home I cook from scratch, but on the road, they can be a real lifesaver and are sometimes cheaper and easier than trying to buy a bunch of ingredients and figure out how to cook with limited facilities. I especially love that Amy's makes stuff that is gluten-free and DF.

    Oh another thing that I thought of, is that since being gluten-free has forced me to read all labels, I've started being more conscious of what is in products.

    I wouldn't say that more is better! I ate gluten with every meal for my gluten challenge and it was a total disaster. I would think that smaller amounts would increase the chance that you could actually finish the challenge.

    Totally LOL'ing at that one!

    My first was born at 41w5d and I was eating gluten back then, but again, up to 42 weeks isn't considered post dates anyway.

    I think that a good rule of thumb for what needs cleaned and what needs replaced is to think, "If this was dropped in a toilet, would it be possible to sanitize it?" If the answer is no, then you need to replace it. For example, no way that you could make a wooden spoon clean enough to use again, so that is an item that needs to be replaced. Whereas...

    Does anybody have a recommendation for low sugar, non-dairy, and gluten free salad dressing packets to take on the road?

    Personally, I found it easier to just switch the house over to 99% gluten free. I'm the cook, so that works fine. If the gluten eaters want to eat gluten, there are plenty of opportunities outside the house. I've found a bread recipe that everybody, including our gluten eaters enjoys. The only glutenous items that are kept in the house are normally prepackaged...

    Which soy sauce do you get? I'm looking on Amazon and so far all the options are substantially pricier than just buying San-J from the grocery store.

    I like to try to focus on the good and I thought that it would be fun to have a thread where we share the things that we're thankful for, in regards to celiac/NCGI. 1) I'm thankful that I can't eat cake and cookies at events anymore (unless I make or bring something of course). That is like an auto regulator on my sugar and calorie consumption. ...

    Has the Beyond Meat brand hit the UK yet? I love their chicken free strips! Very pricey, but tasty. (and certfiied gluten-free) Open Original Shared Link

    It will get a lot easier in time. Hang in there! Others have given you great advice, the only part I would like to add to the original part is that celiac has a lot of disorders that go with it. You honestly never know what direction your symptoms can go. I never dreamed that I would have a mini-stroke on gluten! These days honestly I can look at...

    I agree, the fad diet comments are extremely frustrating. What is also frustrating is that a lot of people do not realize that there are completely legitimate reasons why some people don't have a diagnosis and yet still have to eat gluten-free. It's not a fad for me, it's absolutely a medical need. Just because someone had a doctor who didn't put the...

    I almost always make a cooked meal for lunch. But we're different than mainstream, we usually make the big meal for lunch and just have leftovers for supper. I usually have lots of fresh vegetables around, so I throw together a salad or a raw veggie plate and then do the normal entree like stuff. Some of our favorite entrees if I'm feeling fancy are enchilada...

    My thoughts exactly. If your kid has an infection, then it needs to be treated. They ought to be trouble shooting to figure out the infection, if they genuinely think that's what caused the elevated Ttg.

    I've used Rachel Ray Nutrish catfood. It is clearly labelled as free from wheat. Not sure about the other stuff though, since it has "natural flavors." It is also not "grain free" as it has rice. I think that if I go to a grain free brand, I will buy the large bag and it should make it more economical. I will also measure portions carefully so that the...

    Wow, that is pretty amazing to actually get DX'ed after 3 years gluten free. It makes me almost wonder if I should take a celiac antibody test. I have been gluten free for over 4 years, but made a number of rookie mistakes before I cracked down on the CC issues.

    On the subject of more cats, does anybody know what the cheapest gluten free cat food is?
  25. BlessedMommy
    I'll have to talk to DH about getting more cats. I'm sure a lot of our problem is the fact that we live in a trailer. We have friends who live 3 miles from us who NEVER get mice in their house. They built their house so tightly built that the only way for mice to get in is if the front door got left open. We tried plugging visible holes with spray...
