    Most of have limited our grain consumption at least when we went gluten-free. Many have also limited or cut the dairy. I have never given consideration to totally cutting out these items as I see them as necessary sources of some vitamins and minerals. Totally eliminating them would leave you open to other problems unless you are extremely educated in matching...

    The last two theaters I attended both allowed me to view the ingredient lists for everything they used in their popcorn. The other patrons were quite interested as they brought out the boxes and buckets for me to see. I was able to answer several questions for those around me. If you contact the theater by phone during the day, they can probably give you...

    Pace is gluten-free. We go through it by the LARGE bottles around here.

    Oh, I can relate. My epipen stays handy. So far, I have been able to get a Vistaril down quickly enough to avoid having to use it. I feel for you and hope you get to feeling better quickly. Your poor sister may never try to feed you again!

    Last I checked a few months ago, the fruit snacks were gluten-free. I cannot say anything but give them a call, though, since it has been several months since I called personally.

    Unfortunately, we all seem to have lots of stress. Just this disease is enough without other family members being ill, jobs pressing us for more and more, our hectic schedules, financial woes, school, etc. I did the same thing you just did, laugh out loud, when my physician asked me the same question a while back. I was sooo sick, my daughter was sooo...

    celiac disease, Parkinsons, a couple of others...this extended family has them all. If it came down to cure with embryonic stem cells or remain ill, we have discussed it and made the choice to remain ill. Any other options available including other forms of stem cell research are open for us. This is a personal moral choice and does not imply than anyone...

    Glad to be of help. I hope your gastro doc is as helpful as my first was. It is so much easier when you have support. Make sure you get any testing done prior to going gluten-free to ensure quality test results. Even then, it is possible to get a false negative just not as likely. You may be surprised at how much you will improve after being gluten-free for...

    There is a medical name for this which has escaped me for right now. Those of us with neurological damage know this feeling well.

    Just to be certain we have our historical and Jewish legal ducks in a row, I have messaged a Jewish friend with the question: Is there a historical or legal requirement that the Passover bread be made from wheat even if a person is celiac disease? How would a Jewish celiac handle this? After all, where do we get the instructions on Passover which are...

    Mine is out of range as well and it is definitely my liver as a result of the celiac disease. The simplest way to determine if celiac disease is your problem is to have a celiac panel (blood work) done. It will tell you much.

    Me too! It is one of the foods I miss most and I am really out of luck since I can't have soy either.

    Yes, I just read an article this week on adult stem cell research and how successful it has been. No issues there. This board is one place where we must all agree to disagree at times about most anything other than the basic celiac disease issues. No way are we all going to have the same thoughts about everything. At least we are able to openly "talk...

    Sorry, Barb, but Wisconsin is a little far for this Georgia girl to travel...even for ribs. If I ever get that way, I'll look you up. Sonny's now has gluten. What a bummer. I really liked their sweet sauce.

    There's an elephant in the room here. We are talking about stem cell research. That means there will be a great deal of controversy if this is the way a "cure" comes about. I personally am hopeful that some of the other research provides an equally useful result without the moral issues involved with stem cells.

    Ain't Kroger great! They have so many gluten-free items and their dieticians have been wonderful...I have them on speed dial on my cell phone. Their pharmacists have also been really helpful. In case you were not aware, many of Kroger's OTC meds are also gluten-free since they are mfr by Perrigo in their gluten-free labs. The Perrigo ones have a logo on...

    The longer you are gluten-free, the more likely it will be that you will see "normality" in you gut and the other areas where you are affected. I have seen the muscle, nerve, and bone damage get much better over the last two years along with the gut.

    A lot of us have different allergies. Sometimes your immune system goes a little haywire and they will kick in. Think back...have you had any major stress recently or been ill with something else or got accidentally glutened? Any of those would trigger the immune system to overreact more than normal.

    Hurray for you! It was a big step to get out to eat, but you did it. It sounds as though they were diligent, so maybe you will do well. One step at a time and you will figure out where you can and cannot go.

    I didn't realize that the parvo thing was Fifth's! I have another child who gets it off and on. He is also realizing little by little that he will probably be diagnosed at some future point because he is already noticing small reactions when we eat out of our home and he is allowed to pig out on gluten stuff (we keep a totally gluten-free house so he is gluten...

    It just dawned on me that we are talking about a child...watch for behavior changes even if there are no gastro symptoms. That is sometimes a better indicator with a child or adolescent than the usual symptoms for us. Has anyone seen the research just released on teenage depression and celiac disease?

    Actually, I am not sure what is so special about that particular bag. I just know that they work better than anything else I have used over the years (I milled my own wheat and baked my own breads long before I knew I was celiac disease). My bread keeps better than when I use other bags. They are also great for use when giving away loaves to celiac disease...

    The revitalization of conservatism is not necessarily a bad thing...except when it crosses common sense. Like many churches over the last several decades, the Catholic church had moved away from some ideas that had been considered mainstream Christian theology for millenia. There is, however, a big difference in taking a stand on the inerrancy of the Holy...

    Any bread placed into a refrigerator will spoil or change textures quickly. I would suggest either leaving it out on the counter or freezing it per the instructions of the last post. I only make a small bread machine loaf so that it does not need to be frozen since I prefer it fresh. I just throw the ingredients inot the bread machine every other day or so...
