    How ironic. This article about a recipe mistake makes ANOTHER mistake when it says yeast contains gluten. Yeast does not contain gluten.

    Are you saying you ate ham that had been open and in your fridge for about a week? I think the greater possibility is that the ham was starting to go bad a week later and you got some mild food poisoning. Lunch meat is usually only good for 3-4 days after you open it, unless you put it in the freezer. It MIGHT be safe in the fridge for a week but, personally...

    Ibs is a set of symptoms, not a diagnosis. It's what they tell you when they don't know what is causing your digestive symptoms. Celiac can cause you to have IBS symptoms. As for your biopsy, get the results to read them for yourself and take to another dr. SOMETHING is causing your villi to be flattened. With the reaction you have described to going...

    Okay so it sounds like you don't do a lot of cooking? Sounds like you are bouncing between bland/boring stuff and gluten-free substitutes (many are not very good or also bland). I wouldn't want to eat like that either! Let's start with the "Plain veggies". Why must they be plain? Are you on an elimination diet or limited by other food restrictions that...

    What type of food did you used to eat? Perhaps we can suggest things that are complete opposites and you will like them now. This can be a good time to try new foods and new types of cusines you never thought you would like before. Retry things that were never your favorites. You may like foods that you thought tasted disgusting in the past. I never liked...

    Unfortunately, reactions and symptoms are not directly tied to the amount of damage or the level of antibodies someone has. Individuals vary on how severe their symptoms are and how high their antibodies are. Some people have bad symptoms from tiny amounts of gluten exposure but very low antibodies no matter how sick they get. Some people have high antibodies...

    Exactly! Thank you for saying so well what I was trying to say. Heyteacher don't worry about us--I've seen much worse ruffled feathers before. I'm glad you are having good discussions with your husband. Mentioning him was important and maybe it helped you get it off your chest so you can deal with talking to him more about this. Please feel free to ask...

    Sorry to say this but for me it was an entire year before I had mastered the diet and cc issues well enough to go for months without getting glutened. I had strentches of times that were maybe a month or two and then I would try eating out or try a new product and get sick again. If you are super sensitive you just have to not take as many risks and learn...

    I think I did the first time I tried them I have another box though and I'm trying to work up the courage to test again to make sure it wasn't something else. I'll be watching this thread to see if anyone else reports having issues with them.

    Everyone else pretty much covered the food, so I'm just wondering about this statement. Is this an outside person coming into your home and cooking using your gluten-free pans, etc? Or are they using their own kitchen and their own non-gluten-free dedicated items to prepare your food? Do they cook for other people or eat gluten themselves? If they are...

    I could have written this post word for word. My parents were really upset when I dropped out of grad school (I was going for a PhD as well) due to health problems. They were also really upset that I had stopped sending birthday cards and stopped calling them as much. I could barely remember what day it was let alone remmember the date. Usually when they...

    Well I know Heinz makes one that is only 1 carb, but I think it has sucralose--if you don't mind the type of sugar you can find plenty of them. Pretty much most of the mainstream brands have a "reduced sugar" formulation fro diabetics. Are you wanting one that is also organic?
  14. GlutenFreeManna
    Haha! Well that's what you get when you ask a board used to answering questions from people with multiple sensitivies and allergies. I think we were all under the impression you couldn't have ANY sugar! Thanks for clarifying. There are many reduced sugar ketchups out there you just have to watch the type of sweetener they add. And if you make it...

    Hi Diane. I remmember you posting this same thing several months ago. I'm concerned to hear you are still sick and starving. I think it may be time to reevaluate your veganism. I was vegetarian for 4 years (yes I know that's nowhere near as long as 20 years, but I was very serious about it) and I was always very sick and weak while eating vegetarian only...

    I second the crockpot. Cooking beans in the crockpot is super easy and you don't have to watch then to make sure they don't boil over like with the stove: Open Original Shared Link (BTW, everything on that site is gluten-free--check out her vegetarian options or chicken recipes if you can eat chicken).

    IMO, many dr's (if they know anything about celaic testign to begin with) are following the old standard of a positive biopsy being the most important element for diagnosis. From what I understand, the blood tests have come a LONG way since then; when they are positive it's something like 95-99% accurate. There was a post on here recently about Dr Fasano...

    I would cut off the friendship. Be polite but firm, don't make eye contact if he speaks to you and don't make small talk with him anymore. Clearly he has gotten the wrong idea about something or is suffering from some form of mental illness. His age does not matter. Some men are just like that and will try to escalate a relationship to more than it is...

    I don't know why dr's like to say this when they haven't even gotten the results back yet but it seems to be a trend now for them to jump to conclusions before they get the report. Wait until you get he report before you draw any conclusions. Villi damage usually cannot be seen except under a microscope. That is why it can also be false negative in children...

    I didn't see this episode but I saw the first 5 minutes of the very first episode of this show and changed the channel after a similar bad joke that wasn't even funny (can't remmember what it was now but I was disgusted and changed the channel). Hopefully if they get enough complaints the show won't be on much longer. I can't but wonder how many people...

    I was just wondering how can I make hamburger buns without buying a special pan. You read my mind! So glad to know this trick and the recipe looks great as well! I hope you will open that bakery and write that cookbook soon.

    Actually, she said in her very first post that money was the reason her husband didn't like her going to the dr a lot. She also shared that she has a special needs child that costs them $1500 a month in medical bills. Even if her husband was super supportive of her getting tested she's bound to feel guilty about it because that's human nature when you are...

    That one contains XYLITOL which is a sugar alcohol that can be extracted form many of the things you said you didn't want to use: Open Original Shared Link If you are avoiding those foods you might want to find out what their source is for for the xylitol. Also, be careful if you try it as xylitol can cause some gastro side effects similar to what celiacs...

    That recipe uses brown sugar. OP, I have seen recipes that use honey or molasses or even pure maple syrup but I never seen one without any form of sweetener. Without something to sweeten it, it's not ketchup--it would just be a very bitter/acidic tomato sauce because of the vinegar. If you are not able to use any of the above mentioned natural forms of...
