    Wheat germ oil, stuff labelled wheat something ... maybe oats. It is only important that it be gluten-free if it goes in your mouth - like a lipstick.

    Corn tortillas are cheap in the US. They are just water and corn. I think the secret to making them is getting the right " grind" or texture of corn. Just saw this on my Facebook about flour substitutions. You might find this helpful Open Original Shared Link

    I just realized that you said you won't eat eggs for some reason. You will have to use an replacer like chia and / or flax or " egg replacer". I don't know what a " China diet" is but I wonder why you feel the need to limit yourself so much and make life's harder than it needs to be. I guess if you are trying to eat like Chinese people did before modern...

    I jùst buy corn tortillas. Not sure if you can where you live? Google some recipes. You need a bit more than tapioca and sorghum. You might want another starch like arrowroot and maybe some xantham gum, maybe flax seeds or some pectin. You may need to adjust the amount of " wet " ingredients. There are many goo recipes on line. you might ...

    It is suggested to cut out dairy because lactose is hard to digest. With most lactose intolerance, you may find you don't have to avoid all dairy. You may be able to tolerate a small amount or some dairy items that have little to no lactose. Check "lactose intolerance" on the internet. For the salad dressings - maybe google "lactose free ranch...

    How are they explaining the " near total blunting"? Because that is a medical finding they better be trying to figure out if they don't think it's from celiac.

    Don't put your food on the table? Keep it on a placemat, or in containers. Eat in your car? Eat at your desk? Go to a park on nicer days ( my son always ate in his car at the park , watching the ducks on the lake, just to get out of the office). Your enclosed lunch should be fine in the same fridge. Is this table very very tiny and people are eating...

    Sorry. I dont know the recipe. If you are looking for starches/ thickeners - you could experiment with potato starch , arrowroot, or a variety of different " flours".

    There is a vegan place here that makes a cashew cheese sauce. Maybe try a cashew milk? Not sure if it comes powdered....

    Thanks for this! I think we have had this before. but its always good to re-visit this every few months. Its hard to find things on here that are old, sometimes, and new people are searching here all the time - so something "fresh" is helpful.

    I think gluten in chicken broth is some sort of Internet myth. Some chicken is injected with water and salt. I try to only buy the chicken that isn't because we don't need that salt. Usually I get the kind our grocery has behind the counter that isn't injected with anything.

    This thread is 6 years. The product info may have changed in that time. Also, most posters don't stick around for 6 years....

    Shouldn't hurt your plants if it's wheat straw. Maybe wash them before you eat them? If you have a skin/ contact allergy, You will want to be careful to keep covered - long sleeves and gloves. Maybe remove what straw you can? Or, because you seem to be allergic to it, maybe someone else could help you remove it?

    I don't see ANY test for Celiac. Did I just miss it?
  15. kareng
    The reason I asked if it was an actual MD that you saw, was because MDs usually don't run these unproven tests. If it were me, I wouldn't settle for this. And I would be mad because many insurance companies won't pay for this stuff., so you may be stuck paying for it.

    If it is just an odd way of saying a tTg IGA, you might still want a full panel. But a positive Celiac test needs further investigation by a GI doctor that may include a full celiac panel and an endoscopy. It would not mean just a little sensitivity to gluten.
  17. kareng
    These are the tests, and there are a few older ones that may be done, for Celiac disease. Open Original Shared Link Currently, there are no legitimate blood tests for Gluten sensitivity. Open Original Shared Link

    That isn't be a test for Celiac disease. You might want to get that before you decide to go gluten free.
  19. kareng
    From what you have said, I'm not sure what was actually run. Is this am MD? Get a full Celiac panel blood test.

    It means you have Celiac disease. Sounds like your doctors have told you that, too. But it also sound like Celiac might not be the whole problem and that you have some more severe health issues. You can not expect a gluten free diet to take care of lymphoma and what ever else is wrong. But, not being gluten-free will certainly add extra health issues...

    It still has gluten. Not for Celiacs

    I didn't know they made gluten-free waffles. Why not ask the company what they do to make sure they are gluten-free - testing? Segregated manufacturing, etc. when you find out, please come back and post the answers. there seems to be some odd labeling law, or maybe it's some companies interpretation - but they aren't supposed to add extra...

    I see no mention of the use of tTg tests to indicate the presence of Chrohns Open Original Shared Link

    So there is this drug being developed. I believe there may be another, too? If I have time, I will look and post. Open Original Shared Link

    When it's that high, it almost always means Celiac. Sure, you can have Crohns, too. Just like you can have Celiac and diabetes, the common cold or a hang nail. I wouldn't jump to Chrohns. I don't think the tTg really has anything to do with Chrohns? Where did you see that? Sometimes, a slightly elevate tTg can be elevated from other issues, but >...
