ARCHIVED Do You Micro Chip Your Pets?
BlessedMommy posted a topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
I'm researching about it and am seriously leaning towards microchipping our kitty cat. He's an indoor/outdoor cat (he loves to hunt!) and that would hopefully increase his chances of making it home if he got lost. He wears a collar and engraved ID tag, but of course those can get pulled off or lost. The Humane Society said that they routinely check every... -
ARCHIVED Endoscopy Today

Yay! Congrats on the negative tests. It always feels good to get a definitive answer. I was very relieved when my daughter tested negative for celiac. -
ARCHIVED Favorite All Purpose Gluten Free Flour?
BlessedMommy replied to icelandgirl's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I mix my own gluten-free flour blend. 1 cup sorghum flour, 1 cup potato starch, 1/2 cup almond flour, and 1 tsp xanthan gum. -
ARCHIVED Going Vegetarian?
BlessedMommy replied to TashaLouise's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
It looks like Quorn is working on becoming celiac safe in the future, though, based on this statement from their website: "Some of our products, including Quorn meat free, soy free Pieces and Quorn meat free, soy free Fillets do not include any gluten-containing ingredients in their recipes. However, these products are manufactured in a factory which... -
ARCHIVED Going Vegetarian?
BlessedMommy replied to TashaLouise's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
Quorn does not make any products that are safe for celiacs at this time unfortunately. There are one or two of their products that contain no deliberately added gluten ingredients, but when the majority of their other products have gluten, cross contamination is a possibility. Quorn does not market any of their products as gluten free or make any gluten free... -
ARCHIVED Ronzoni gluten-free Pasta
BlessedMommy replied to bartfull's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I love Bionaturae too, it's the best one that I've ever had. I wish that it wasn't so expensive! I might throw a couple of bags of it on my Vitacost subscription though. -
ARCHIVED Ronzoni gluten-free Pasta
BlessedMommy replied to bartfull's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Not Ronzoni, but has anybody tried the Barilla gluten free brand? I'm seeing that there's an option to subscribe to them on Amazon and the price is pretty good. -
ARCHIVED How Long Did It Take You To Really Feel Great?
BlessedMommy replied to icelandgirl's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I would say that I got there last year. Due to help from this forum, I eliminated some of the sneaky trace gluten from my kitchen and other areas, and I'm sure that helped. -

Do you have access to good frozen fruit in your area? That can be a good substitute for fresh, especially for expensive out of season fruits.

ARCHIVED Not Formally Diagnosed And Wondering
BlessedMommy replied to Wakingup's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Kissing your husband after he's eaten gluten can definitely gluten you. If my husband eats gluten, he knows that means he has to brush his teeth before kissing. I'm careful with the little kids too. I give them their goodnight kiss on their forehead instead of their cheeks if they've eaten gluten recently. -
ARCHIVED Not Formally Diagnosed And Wondering
BlessedMommy replied to Wakingup's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
If you can't be tested but have serious issues with gluten, then you need to stay 100% gluten free including cross contamination. Being 95% gluten free won't help you if you have undiagnosed celiac. I cannot go back to eating gluten either (serious neurological problems from gluten, 3 months of gluten would likely cause a stroke) and so I just go through... -

Anybody have any favorite tried and true go to snacks that you pack in your purse? I've slacked lately on stocking my car kit and I'm thinking that I need to pack a little more in my purse. I ordered some Hellman's mayo packets in bulk and plan to keep some in my purse with a can of gluten-free vegan tuna, some gluten-free crackers, and a KIND bar. Then...

ARCHIVED Help With Test Results
BlessedMommy replied to Zebra007's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I have to stay gluten free, because eating gluten for testing could be fatal for me(due to the nature of my symptoms), so I've been gluten free for 5 years now. It'd be interesting to know if I had celiac disease, but I can't even imagine eating gluten for 2-3 months straight. I had a TIA while on gluten for only 10 days, so I'm guessing that a full blown... -

ARCHIVED Hello, I'm New And I'm 90% Sure I Have Celiacs.
BlessedMommy replied to Rob Amsterdam's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I agree. If you've exhausted all testing options to no avail, then it's fine to follow a strict gluten free diet, if that's what works to keep you a symptom free member of society. Nobody needs their doctor's permission to go gluten free.
