    Cross- reactivity isn't considered to have any scientific basis. So, that is probably while an MD wouldn't consider. Open Original Shared Link Did they biopsy the intestines? celiac damage isn't always easy to spot by eye. I don't know a lot about lactose intolerance but, don't most cheeses have a little lactose? Maybe you should give it a little...

    Open Original Shared Link How much gluten should be consumed prior to being screened for celiac disease? It’s best to continue a normal, gluten-containing diet before being screened and diagnosed. If a gluten-free diet has been followed for more than a few weeks, then we recommend eating at least 1 serving of gluten (1/2 slice of bread or a cracker, f...

    You know him better than we do, but I bet he is just making this up. Sounds like he wants either to do the opposite of what he thinks you want or he is just lazy? Or in denial? You can go to the Univ of Chicago Celiac center website and show him some info. Hopefully that will help. If he refuses to feed her gluten-free and she is diagnosed by a docotor...

    I know lots of people lose weight on a "gluten-free diet" because they cut out the large amounts of bread and pasta they were eating. Also, stopped all the fast food.

    Yes! and they make those little individual servings which is great as I can't get anyone else at my house to understand the yummyness that is hummus!

    I get whatever beans I want to get. I am lazy and get canned. I would think that you could rinse the dry beans if you were worried about something being on them. While I am mentioning my laziness...... I buy already made hummus.

    I had my doctor order them thru Quest years after I was officially diagnosed. There are several places that do it. To my surprise, my insurance paid for it without a peep! Just proving, that when it comes to Celiac Disease, they haven't a clue.

    You can go to flight schools at 15? 16? Its expensive - $10,000 to go all the way to a license. I have seen a program where you can just take a few lessons and not get a license, too. Not sure about your budget, but it might be something to save for? This is one near me. For $110 you can go up and see what is involved in flying. Of course, it...

    That place has had some issues. They seem to look for genes with associations (apparently not all proven) and go with statistics. "we still do not have any assurance that the firm has analytically or clinically validated the PGS for its intended uses, which have expanded from the uses that the firm identified in its submissions."

    Maybe not the Air Force, but there are ways he can get the "military " experience. ROTC in high school. Depending on your area, but there are civil air patrols - my cousin did one in high school. They like the HS kids for search and rescue - they are spotters in the planes or helicopters. Some fire departments have junior firefighters if you take some...

    We had chicken tacos. I made the meat in the........wait for it.......the Crockpot!

    Can you make him Popsicles with juice he can drink and the protein powder? Or mushed fruit, his milk & powder? You could look into drying your own fruit - I think a dehydrator is nice but I think some fruits can be done in the oven? I know it has been discussed a year or so ago.

    I don't know if this is close to you or not, but this poster liked the GI in Georgia https://www.celiac.com/forums/topic/107508-good-gi-doc-experience/#entry915200

    As long as it isn't your own personal business, it fine. We have someone right now looking for a doc in Georgia. I'll link him here.

    If you would like to mention his name and city, it might help someone else.

    Have you had all the Celiac tests you will be getting? The tests are the most accurate if you are eating gluten.

    I have the opposite issues - I have a kid that we always let him eat his fruit first so he didn't eat too much of the higher calorie stuff. He still does that as a "mostly grownup". Is he active and happy? I do know a couple of kids that looked like they would break, but they were always active. Now as "mostly grownups" in college, they are still...

    My favorite is hearing them bounce around in the washer or dryer. How many wrenches & bolts and washers can you fit into 1 pair of jeans? 1 pocket has the phone & one the wallet - so... doing the math and extrapolating from my extensive research (getting them out of the wash/dryer )- the answer is 1 wrench, 3 allen wrenches, 3 standard sized bolts...

    I don't know what he is eating, but can you up the calories on the foods he is being offered? For example, don't let him fill up on strawberries until he has eaten his meat. Up the portion size of the meat, maybe give him full fat hamburger, add olive oil to cooked veggies, etc. Give him the higher fat & calorie foods first. Add some extra fat foods...

    What will you use for the orange cake mix?

    Yes, Please!

    I think that is an affectionate name for a Margarita. They could wash & wax your car or something.

    I feel I must comment on incorrect facts. Wine is gluten free. Wheat is not added to wine. That seems to be a internet myth. This has been discussed here many times. Not sure where you get your facts about the PPD allergies affecting Celiacs in a disproportionate way. But that is an allergy and, Celiac is not a skin contact allergy. I would love...

    Sounds like I am of no help here. Sorry to have made you angry.

    Yes...lots of people with Celiac dye their hair. Lots of people without Celiac dye their hair. If you meant " have a reaction to hair dye", it doesn't have anything to do with Celiac disease. There are people who are allergic to things in the hair dye, some have celiac & some don't. Celiac isn't an allergy. Gluten must be ingested to start a reaction...
