    that having a dedicated gluten free kitchen is amazing??? I just remove the last 3 cans of glutenous food from my kitchen. I've replaced my cutting board and utensils, thrown out some old pans, bought a new stock pot, done some scrubbing. My waffle iron, blender, and toaster have always been dedicated gluten-free. The stress relief afforded...

    If you can tolerate certified gluten free oats, how do you like oatmeal? Any suggestions for fun toppings? I just got a new 25 lb bag of oats and I decided to buy some dried cherries to go with them, because I was getting tired of raisins.

    And here is a photo taken when my 3rd child was a baby, so taken roughly about 6 years after the above photo and a couple of years after I quit gluten. What a contrast! Open Original Shared Link

    I wonder if the severity of my reaction on the gluten trial was because I overdid the gluten. I wanted the best chance of an accurate result, so I ate a lot of gluten and had it at every meal basically. No one told me that 1 slice of bread a day would work. I still am not going to trial smaller amounts, though, just not worth the risk of another TIA,...

    I feel fortunate in that I figured out that I couldn't have gluten in my 20's. My mom and sister probably should both be gluten-free and have extremely deteriorated health (low bone density, tooth problems, all manner of body systems out of whack, chronic fatigue, symptoms after eating gluten, IBS like symptoms, schizophrenia like symptoms, just to name a...

    LOL! It is true that even if you have a biopsy proven celiac DX, there's plenty of misinformed people out there. I'm trying to crack down harder on possible CC issues and some people probably already think that I'm insane as is. LOL! That's why I get frustrated and wish that I had a DX, but again, some people have told me that the DX won't solve misunderstanding...

    I guess, what it is, is I really and truly hate not having a DX. I really feel annoyed that circumstances took that chance away from me. And when I read articles like that, it just adds to that annoyance. When they come up with celiac tests that don't involve gluten challenges, I'll probably be one of the first in line to take them!

    Yes, this info was definitely not on this site! This site has been nothing but supportive, thank goodness!

    Just a random vent, I'm tired of seeing stuff about the gluten free "fad diet." I'm tired of the ridiculous assertions that it's a black and white deal, either you have celiac (diagnosed through a blood test and biopsy) or you're a faker. Because apparently all the medical tests are foolproof and your doctor will always run them promptly if you're showing...

    Why is it harder to get better results when testing a smaller child?
  11. BlessedMommy
    My 2 year old daughter is on a regular diet (gluten containing, though not gluten heavy since my household gluten-free) and her check up is coming up soon. Should I mention to the doctor about our family history of problems and ask him if he would be wiling to run a celiac blood panel if she starts showing symptoms? Or should I not bother discussing it...

    Any good ones that you could share? I'm kind of bored with my current ones. They can have tofu, since we have no soy issues in our house. Recipes with cheese are welcome as well, as there are a couple of dairy free cheese shreds that I like.

    That would be amazing to finally get a DX without having to risk hospitalization, disability, or death! What do you mean by a biopsy in a petri dish? I would never eat gluten for 3 days, but the 3 day gluten challenge one could be a great one to get my kids DX'ed eventually.

    Reviving this old thread, because we found Thai Orchid Cafe's website and they have an entire gluten free menu on it! Open Original Shared Link Anybody have any experience here?

    If you are still having lesions, you could get a skin biopsy. I do not have a formal DX for my gluten caused skin rash, but I believe that a formal DX is best, if at all possible.

    I'm seriously thinking of making a gluten free survival kit to keep in my van. It would be just the thing for when I'm short on time when on the road or run into a situation where there's no gluten-free food available. Has anybody done something like this? Any thoughts or ideas on good non perishable gluten-free foods to keep on hand? I was thinking...

    Dinner tonight was from a gas station. I purchased oranges, a banana, V8 juice, and some plain trail mix. (raisins, almonds, and cashews) I really need to make sure that I plan a little better when on the road! I seriously think that what I need to do is make a gluten-free survival kit to keep at all times when in the car. Has anyone done anything like...

    I'm already a gluten free low sugar ovo vegetarian (which is a difficult lifestyle to maintain as is) and I can't even imagine how complicated and limited my diet would be if I had to remove all gluten free grains on top of that! Sounds like the "Gluten Free Society" is propagating some false information!
  19. BlessedMommy
    Exactly! That seriously nails the nail right on the head. Or in another case, you run into your dermatologist with a severe skin rash and he never even suggests the possibility of Dermatitis Herpetiformis or anything food related, he just diagnoses it as eczema that's being worsened by pregnancy and sends you home with steroid cream. You eventually figure...

    Thanks for all the input. I'm committing to really working harder than ever at keeping accidental gluten away. My mood is great right now and I'm not feeling with anxiety and worry. I hope that this is a sign of good things to come!

    My OCD has been really flaring up lately. I've learned since I joined this board, that I've made some mistakes in being gluten-free and not always been as careful about CC as I should have been. I thought that I didn't get violent symptoms when getting trace amounts of gluten (usually got a flaming itchy red face or the start of a skin rash, my primary...

    We're doing an easy dinner tonight, lentil & quinoa soup.

    I mostly shop at my wholesale/retail outlet for bulk items and only rarely buy Amish bulk anymore. When I did, I just read ingredient lists thoroughly, though I'm sure that approach carries a higher risk of CC than buying items only from a manufacturer that you trust. The items that I was mainly referring to in my primary post were all mainstream gluten...
  24. BlessedMommy
    That is totally unacceptable! I would definitely file some sort of a complaint. Sorry that you got that treatment!

    I buy my Bob's Red Mill certified oats in bulk--25 lb bags.
