ARCHIVED Cupcakes
kareng replied to come dance with me's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
You will have a limited amount of people who will want vegan/gluten-free cupcakes. I would only buy them if I knew you personally. The risk of a stranger saying gluten-free but not following good practices is too great. Maybe you could contribute something more mainstream that would sell to anyone. Homemade candies? Lemonade? Cloudless chocolate torte... -

ARCHIVED Advice Getting Our Granddaughter Tested
kareng replied to Korwyn's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
I think call the pediatrician. Just be aware that many of them don't want to be confrontational. Even though this could be considered neglect, many don't want to get involved. It's the law but a doctor could rationalize as its not diagnosed, etc. Perhaps you could get your son alone and talk to him? You might let him know that if she continues with... -
ARCHIVED Gluten Free Sometimes Just Isn't Good Enough....
kareng replied to strezzedout1979's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Unfortunately, that is every Celiac's nightmare! Well...that and the one about the loaf of Wonderbread chasing you down the street. Hope you have some good docs who know what they are doing. Keep us posted on what you find out. This is rare so you could help educate someone with your experiences -
We shall require a full report when you return. Unless you want to post everyday?

ARCHIVED Change In Alexia Frozen Potato And Sweet Potato Products
kareng replied to T.H.'s topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I think we have another great example of Forum Misperception Syndrome. FMPS manifests when we cannot see or hear the other person's facial expressions or hear the tone of voice. And the typist cannot see us looking at them like this or or when they are typing. If they could, they would realize something wasn't coming across correctly. ... -

ARCHIVED 4Food (Midtown Manhattan)
kareng replied to glutengirl42's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
If they cook veggie burgers on the grill with the gluten free food, its most likely not gluten free. Most veggie burgers have wheat &/or oats in them. Is this a chain? IF so, write an email to the corporate office. Be sure to mention that they made you sick. Lots of places say they have a gluten free menu, but its really only gluten lite. -

ARCHIVED Just Got Fecal Test Report Back, I'm Allergic To Everything?
kareng replied to vawksel's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
This is purely my opinion based on unscientific feelings. I met the Enterolab doc. I was excited to hear from him. Saw him speak. Left at the intermission. He was a bit too slick for my tastes. I never felt he gave us enough info to understand the way the tests work. I think there is something to testing poop. It is what our body is rejecting. I... -
ARCHIVED Breath Holding Spell
kareng replied to AMom2010's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
I had one of mine have a fever seizure. He's 18 and big and strong and smart. She sounds like she is a bit young to hold her breathe on purpose? They used to say that the kids who held their breath would pass out and start breathing again. She might not be the same as that. What did the docs say about the turning blue? You did tell them when you had... -

ARCHIVED Okay, So Is There A Safe Chocolate?
kareng replied to Harpgirl's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Do you have a local place that makes chocolate? In KC we are lucky to have several. If you don't mind paying, you can talk to the person who made it. I have found some chocolate bars that do not list barley malt or " made with wheat....". They don't say gluten-free specifically. Usually, it is the pricier stuff but I like the Dove dark chocolate when... -
One of the gluten free websites talked to many major movie chains. Popcorn and most if not all toppings are gluten-free. The only concern might be a bit of cc if they handle hot dog buns & then popcorn. I have looked and also worked many years ago at a movie theater, & the kids would need to work hard to do cc the popcorn. Watch for a minute or...

ARCHIVED I Missed The Fourth Of July
kareng replied to jenngolightly's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
Sorry you are feeling yucky! I think some people have a similar to gluten reaction to corn. Please! Don't loose faith in chocolate! It isn't evil. Some of the companies that mix it with unnatural additives are the evil ones. Trying to come up with some jokes but they all seem corny and not very funny. I'm afraid the corn intolerant population would... -

ARCHIVED New To This And Need Advice, Thanks!
kareng replied to RetroGirlChicago's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I Would go to the appointment. They have an email address on their site. Email and tell them this but make it really brief. Ask who you should see. Bring your positive blood work , procedure report & path report. They may want to change the focus of your appt if they know you are already diagnosed. -
ARCHIVED Anyone Use Penzey's Spices?
kareng replied to shayre's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
If they don't use any products that have gluten, & most wouldn't even be near a wheat field or wheat harvester or wheat silo or wheat truck, why would they go to the expense to test for gluten? Even then all they could say is it tests for less than 20 or 10 or 5. The tests can't say 0 even if it is 0. -
ARCHIVED Toaster Bags?
kareng replied to MindytheOrganist's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
We had this question a few months ago. Someone was able to get them at thier local health food store. I ordered some on-line from a kitchen store & I found some in town from a locally owned kitchen store. I think that Pampered Chef had some at one time.
