    I would insist on seeing what tests were run. Make sure they really ran Celiac tests. Also, it can be hard to get a positive test on a child that young. You might want to skip the ped and go to a pediatric GI doctor. Something isn't right. Open Original Shared Link

    There is a selection of faces on here when you post. But I can't get them on my iPad - just my PC.

    I am not really an expert on them. I look for ones that have "forum codes" like: Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link But now everyone will use them.... lol

    If they left the ovaries - it could be hormonal. If you are taking any hormone replacement, the healing intestines might be taking in more than you need, now. Getting a diagnosis of a disease that, while its treatable, is life long, can be very emotionally draining. You can be going along fine, and suddenly, BAM! It kind of reaches the breaking point...

    I wondered this. But I doubt he is such a serious baker that he will know how to use it.

    The risk is the other people at a buffet. They will drop a roll on the fruit and take it off. You will never know. They will use the spoon from the couscous ( wheat) to scoop out your nice gluten-free cheesy corn dish. I would say, bring all kinds of junk for yourself and the kids. Bring their favorite chips, fruit, carrot sticks, etc. I went to a party...

    I am making the post that is going to piss you off, but it's what the doctors will think first. Is your daughter getting gluten when you aren't there? At school? A friends house? I don't really care about the answer, because you will say your daughter never cheats - on purpose or accidentally. I just want to put the idea in your head. I have seen that...

    Always hold cheap meat! Words to live by!

    Yes. Its gluten free oats

    I just went and looked at crockpots on Craig's list. They want $20 for a used one. You can get a nice 4 quart Rival brand (the best brand) at Walmart for $17. No going across town to a sketchy neighborhood. I think a 4 qt is the size you would want. There is a 2 Quart, but that really will be too small by the time you put in a pound of chicken thighs...

    The funny thing is, neither of them was that excited about the thought of turkey. Until they smelled it!

    Last night I made a turkey breast in the crockpot! That is the way to cook them. It was falling off the bones good! I got the biggest one the store had - 7.5 pounds. It just barely fit in the pot. Put a 1/4 cup or so of water, a stick of butter in the "cavity" and sprinkled freeze dried poultry seasoning on it. I thought I would have lots of left...

    You need to be eating gluten to get a positive test. You might have had one of these, but I don't think those numbers would be positive. Without a reference range and the complete lab report, its hard to know. I see the "Cross-reactivity" test was done, that makes me doubt they did any tests that were legitimate. Sorry. This is a good website to get...

    I keep forgetting about hot plates. And my hub keeps wanting to buy me one for travelling! Let's see : Open Original Shared Link I like that there is a bit of a non-burner edge on this one. Some look like you might burn yourself on the burner in a small space.

    Those don't sound like the medically accepted Celiac tests. Maybe you don't have Celiac?
  16. kareng
    Wow! Can't they see how sick you are? Of course they can and they don't care? Well, we can't pick our family not force them to change their behaviors in their own house if they don't' care. I have found that people like this would be jerks about something else if Celiac isn't the issue. So some practical things until you can find a way to get your...

    What tests were actually done by this holistic person? Many of them don't do the actual Celiac blood work so you may never have had a positive test after all. It is possible for a Celiac, that it could take a few days or a few weeks to build up enough antibodies to start damaging the intestines and cause problems. Most people seem to get a reaction...

    Were they treating the colitis?

    Why would a meat packing plant run all the meat through an extra process (the meat loaf mixing machine)? I am just curious about that. But, if you are worried about meat, you shouldn't eat it. Or you can get it straight from a farmer that you can quiz about practices.

    Only meat is killed, processed, etc at the meat factory. Plain hamburger must be plain burger. IF it is a mix of something, it has to say the ingredients. Lots of stores/brands use a black bottom. Some use a white one.

    I agree. That sounds odd. If its that bad she should see a back surgeon. They can fix things these days. Some fixes aren't even super invasive.

    That's what you did wrong! You have to try to delete it 87 times.

    Celiacs need to have certified gluten-free oats. So, if it has regular oats, it wouldn't be considered safe.

    I put this in "Post Dx" because you are 5 years post your self diagnosis and are trying to figure out what to do next. I think the only way to know if you are sensitive to small amounts of gluten is to try it and see how you feel. Maybe eat one Wheat Thin cracker and see. I know some NCGS people who won't eat a piece of cake or pizza but are able...
