  1. This is a recipe for wholegrain brown rice waffles at Sue Gregg's site. They are really good, and inexpensive. Everybody likes them here except my husband who doesn't like waffles anyway. Open Original Shared Link Be sure to blend for about 5 minutes before adding the baking powder, though. Otherwise they'll crumble and stick to the waffle iron...
  2. My 8 yo daughter had a blood test for celiacs two months ago (but no biopsy), then we went gluten free and she felt better, though she has ups and downs. Well, she was positive on the anti-gliadin, but not the antiendomysial blood test, and the doctor said she probably had celiacs. As I've done more research, I've found that the anti-endomysial blood test...
  3. Can't you be gluten intolerant and NOT have celiac disease? I thought I read that somewhere.
  4. Well, she never mentioned having this before going gluten-free. Now it seems like it's been happening more frequently. I'll have to pay better attention to when it happens and if it is food related.
  5. Well, 8yo dd has been eating a little bit better the last few days. I've been trying to give her more bland foods and I wonder if she may have been getting some contamination. But the last three days or so she's told me that she gets a weird feeling that starts in her feet and moves quickly up through her whole body. She says it feels like ice going...
  6. What brand is the advent calendar? I have one from Sherwood brands. I didn't see anything obvious on the ingredient list, but it did have flavors I think. I looked on the website, but no phone number and the email submission form didn't work (good grief!) I hadn't thought about this. Anyway, she's been sharing with two brothers, so she only gets one...
  7. I bought some Aplets and Cotlets at Costco and was wondering if my gluten-free daughter could eat them. They are SO good. I emaield the company and this is their response: Gluten is a protein found in some cereal grains. Most often wheat gluten is the source of certain people's digestive problems. Barley, oats, spelt, kamut, triticale and other lesser...
  8. I did search before posting but nothing came up. But now I just searched again, and this thread didn't even come up. So either the site isn't working properly or I'm searching incorrectly. Sorry if the topic has already been discussed! Still interesting, though so if you want to post your blood type, do!
  9. I was reading about eating right for your blood type kind of just for fun (I don't know that I believe it, but my mother does), and I was curious to know if certain blood types had more celiacs or if it's just spread out evenly over the different blood types. Of course this is a very unscientific poll, but an interesting thought. I don't know what my daughter...
  10. Maybe it is just her body adjusting to the gluten-free diet. I know the poor thing is really messed up with all these things going on. She's been craving juice like crazy. She won't eat too many of the gluten-free things, and much what she does eat isn't too nutritious (like white tapioca bread). But of course this isn't too much of a change over before...
  11. I did search for this topic on the boards, and I know it's been discussed, but usually about a toddler/preschooler. I think this may be different in that it's not a will struggle. My 8 yo daughter has been gluten-free for about 3 weeks now. The first two weeks, she still had her regular stomachaches, diarrhea, headaches. Her hives went away, and her...
  12. I'm sorry you have to be going through this with your sweet baby! There IS a higher risk of Celiac disease in people with Down syndrome. I would also not trust the allergy test. We had the allergy scratch tests don on my daughter, but nothing showed up even though we KNEW she was lactose intolerant and had other food intolerances as well. If I were...
  13. My 8 yo daughter is the one that likely has celiac. (positive AGa test, feeling better after almost 2 weeks on gluten-free diet.) My mother- is swedish My dad - english ancestry My husband's mother - english (I think) My husband's father - danish On my side, my mother's mother died of lung cancer (chain smoker). My brother and sister...
  14. I tried making the Toll House cookies tonight, but they were quite crumbly and I'm sure they'll turn hard. I did use sweet rice flour instead of glutenous asian flour because I thought I read somewhere that those were the same things. Maybe they are not. I couldn't find the glutenous rice flour anywhere, though. Also, when making gluten-free cookies...
  15. I'm really sorry your relatives just don't understand and don't want to listen! That's gotta be so hard. So maybe in your Christmas letter to your relatives you can include a celiac article from a "reliable" source (since YOU obviously aren't one - according to them anyway). Here's one: Open Original Shared Link Here's a list of articles: Open...
