I think it depends on why she is gluten-free? celiacs can't cheat. But other reasons like FODMAP issues or gluten intolerance might be fine with a little gluten now and then.

Sorry, but I am going to say that I don't see why she is gluten-free. Just because you are? Or someone told her to be? I can see why the family was encouraging her. She doesn't have a medical diagnosis from a doctor , like Celiac or Hashis, that probably should be gluten-free. Even a dx like Hashis can probably cheat a little or take a burger off...

ARCHIVED Powered Non Dairy Creamer
kareng replied to AMills86's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I think most are gluten free. Not sure about the dairy part. You might just need to start reading ingredients. I was thinking there was a common one that was soy based? But it could have some lactose free dairy. adding- search for a " vegan" creamer. That should take care of those lactose free ones with milk protein in them -
ARCHIVED De-glutening dorm furniture?
kareng replied to DrummerGirl231's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
I think if you have cleaned up as well as you have, I wouldn't worry about it at all. Obviously, you were able to clean your side when you moved in from the previous occupant. A vacuum cleaner might be helpful getting crumbs off the mattress and out of drawers. A roll of paper towels and water might help, too. If you are really worried about the mattress... -
If you are eating gluten free, your celiac blood antibody tests should be negative. Just something to keep in mind.

ARCHIVED Anyone with colicky pains and loud noises from stomach
kareng replied to Ulla24's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Lots of gas, and the pains and noises associated with it, can be a symptom of Celiac. Vomiting isn't as common, but some people seem to vomit when their " stomach" is upset. They are also symptoms of other things, like a FODMAp issue or lactose intolerance. So if the Celiac looks negative, you might want to look into those things. -

ARCHIVED coffee mug rims source of contamination
kareng replied to rumberg's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
If there is sentimental value to a coffee cup - your kids gave you one that says " mom" or something - you can always use them to hold pens on your desk or as a vase for small flowers- 12 replies

ARCHIVED coffee mug rims source of contamination
kareng replied to rumberg's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I worked in health care, too. But the fact is, gluten isn't like a germ. It won't multiply and dried crumbs don't really stick... Just use some common sense and you will be fine- 12 replies

Where did you end up? Did you like it? I probably should have posted that sometimes I bring along a little Go Picnic box or a bar or bag of nuts or something. Sometimes its just easier. And if you get somewhere which has always been good - but feel something isn't right, you aren't stuck with nothing or hunting down a grocery for an apple and a yogurt...

ARCHIVED coffee mug rims source of contamination
kareng replied to rumberg's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I think we sometimes go a bit overboard on this throwing out kitchen stuff. The basic idea is that anything that is hard to clean - like all the little holes in a colander or a porous pizza stone- should be replaced. If you think you can get something clean- use it. The fact is, it's not going to be an endless supply of gluten in the little scratches...- 12 replies

ARCHIVED coffee mug rims source of contamination
kareng replied to rumberg's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I don't think I would worry there was gluten hiding there. But I think you need new cups - you probably shouldn't use cups that no longer have a good base of glaze.- 12 replies

ARCHIVED coffee mug rims source of contamination
kareng replied to rumberg's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
What would you have used the cups for that had gluten? Also, I have never seen a Keurig cup with gluten. I suppose you could send some vinegar through and then several plain water cycles. There is also somehting called a "de-scaler" that is supposed to go thru coffee systems and get the calcium build-up from water and coffee oil build-up off.- 12 replies

Lark burger! Open Original Shared Link Five Guys can be good - Best to go when not busy and sort of "supervise". I always order mine separate from my gluten eaters - to avoid confusion and keep them from all touching. Denver is a big area - try "findme gluten free. com" and the area you will be in. There are some mostly or...

ARCHIVED Endo for child?
kareng replied to Fbmb's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Sometimes they want to do endos and even colonoscopies to see if there are any other issues. In the case of a small child, they may be concerned with developement of stomach, valves, etc. probably depends on what his problems are. -
ARCHIVED Feed store sorghum?
kareng replied to olesoulle's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
The sorghum used for gluten-free baking is specifically grown and harvested to be gluten-free. These farmers do not alternate with wheat or use the same harvesting and storage equipment as other grains. That adds to the cost but make sure it safe for Celiacs. -
ARCHIVED Ate Gluten no instant reaction?
kareng replied to Htxkid's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
Who knows. You may be fine with gluten. You don't have celiac. YOu ate gluten and felt fine. Now you aren't eating gluten and feel bad - probably not a gluten problem? Sounds like gas from eating something you find hard to digest. -

People, other than me, do complain about this in posts - saying they just posted a long response and it never showed up.

I don't look at the post count thing. I just have posted a few times and hit "submit" and it never comes over. I would think it was my internet except it doesn't happen in other places

ARCHIVED Diagnosis after Barium Swallow
kareng replied to babco120's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Then they biopsied? I don't think you can see on a microscopic level with a regular xray.
