    Oh, I forgot to mention that in the process one of those doctors figured out that both he and his significant other both had celiac disease!

    It is possible to not see the damage unti you are in your thirties or forties, but by then the damage has been done and can be massive. Why put your body through that if you know that you are intolerant? It is like someone who is at high risk of diabetes eating sugar out of the sugar jar at every meal just because it will be a few years before it happens...

    I had an afterthought...don't add too much flour or they will be more like biscuits than rolls.

    the buttermilk has acidophilus, etc. is the reason it works. You can also treat the intestinal stuff with capsules or tablets of it. We did that for an extended period of time to ensure that it did not have a chance to regrow.

    celiac3270's comment on the flour also applies to the walls and cabinets. We finally wiped down all the cabinets and walls. You would not believe the flour dust that was everywhere! When I thought about it, every time I made biscuits, dredged meat, or mixed up a quick batter over theyears little dust particles would float around. It was logical that they...

    By the way, even diabetics can use certain honeys without much impact on their sugar levels. The ones that tend to be better for them are tupelo and sage. They are higher in a sugar called levulose and lower in sucrose. Levulose is assimilated more slowly by the body and can therefore be tolerated by diabetics as well as hypoglycemics. These two also do not...

    Thanks for the detailed explanation, celiac3270. As usual, you are right on top of things. I'll give it another try and see how well I do with the new info.

    Sounds like my long-time stance on dieting still makes much more sense: Eat a wide variety of fruits and veggies, a little meat, and a little appropriate whole grains. A small amount of sweets or desserts won't hurt every now and then. All things in moderation. This has been my dietary rule for years now and it has worked for the most part (we all have...

    You have made a great choice. We use honey a lot around here. It sweetens well but with a little different taste. It may take some getting used to. If you use it to sweeten stuff like tea, remember that it will not last as long as white sugar because it is natural and spoils more easily. It is a great thing to add to marinades you make yourself and will sweeten...

    I finally gave up and outlawed gluten in our house. I kept getting sick because they weren't careful. My take on it was that they made the choice when they wouldn't be careful!

    In order to get rid of the yeast infection, you also have to stop feeding the yeast. That means absolutely no white sugars, etc. for a little while. Being gluten-free will help. My daughter was so bad that we had to be really strict on her diet for several weeks as well as add yogurts and such, use the diflucan for an extended period of time, and keep her...

    I have tried several times to use the search function instead of creating a new post for something I know is already out there. I cannot get it to narrow the search appropriately. For instance, I was looking for the post on "you could be a celiac if" and I tried that phrase. I got a huge number of pages and this specific post was many pages into the search...

    With that many cups of flour, I would up it a little. I would probably not actually double it unless you plan to bake separate loaves.
  14. cdford
    My best suggestion is to keep it simple. Find a set of basic guidelines that work for you and stick with them. Expand them later as you learn more and are able to absorb more info.
  15. cdford
    Have you tried making the dough just a little thicker so that you can form them instead of pouring them?
  16. cdford
    I did a search to find something else and realized that there were no responses to your question. I had not even seen the post and I've checked just about every day this week. Sorry! I make my own bread. I usually use a machine unless I need most of the loaf to make sandwich slices, then I do it in a regular baking pan. The mix is the same, the method...

    At $3.25 a bottle, you Canadians are sure not to drink too much! By the way, a little wine will actually help symptoms for me. I am a teetotaler other times, but when my belly hurts I will sip a little wine. It really helps...or maybe I just don't mind as much???
  18. cdford
    I do that! If an opportunity opens up, I just share my experience with them. I figure that if I can educate them a little then they can decide if it is worth getting the testing done. Most have never heard of it and are fascinated that their myriad of oddball symptoms actually all fit one thing. It has changed a few lives along the way. It is how I first...

    It is very possible that your child has some additional allergies that are impacting him. It is also very possible that unless you are extremely diligent he is getting gluten from a source you have not previously considered such as soap or laundry detergent. It is also possible that he has another illness going on in addition to the celiac disease. HOWEVER...

    ARCHIVED Cd And Dh

    cdford replied to mbland's topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis

    Yes, Kaiti, you can have celiac disease without the DH but there are very few with DH who do not also have positive biopsies. I wonder if even those have false negatives. I know that if I get glutened, the skin outbreak will follow just after the gastro stuff. It tends to last longer, though...months off and on instead of days or weeks.

    Anyone else out there feel like a fire-breathing dragon some days? I do not always have the actual burping and such, but sometimes just the gases coming up make my throat and mouth feel hot and like I touched them with hot pepper. I also go through periods of time where I am sooo thirsty. I sip or drink a lot. After supper, I start to feel really yucky...

    ARCHIVED Cd And Dh

    cdford replied to mbland's topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis

    Both our celiac disease family members are also DH. What you describe could very well be dh. It does seem to have a life of its own. I wanted to take a minute and comment about the teeth grinding. This can have long term complications if you don't deal with it now. The best thing the dentist ever did for me was to creat what is called an NIT. It is a small...

    Reply from Jewish source number one is in. She consulted her rabbi. Here is his answer: >I don't have an authentic Rabbinic answer. However, no halacha (Jewish law) is binding including fasting or breaking Shabbat observance when life may be in danger. Also, to meet the "requirement" for Pesach (Passover), one need only consume an olive-size piece...

    Thanks for the input, guys. I had just been pointed toward this by multiple persons and wanted to get some feedback. Doesn't sound like I need to spend the money on the book since you gave a pretty good synopsis. I already know everything but my cholesterol does better on a high protein diet (I'm O). I just did not think of it in association with my blood...
  25. cdford
    I came across some info on this while researching this week. I had also been encouraged to try it by another friend. Are any of you familiar with the Blood Type Diet? What is involved and what is it supposed to accomplish?
