    I don't need any advice. I just need to vent and get some hugs I guess...I recently noticed a friend of mine was no longer my friend on fb but I can still see her account and her comments to our mutual friends. I thought maybe she had been hit with a one of those fb viruses and had made a new account so I sent a new friend request and an e-mail asking what...

    You don't have to tell anybody about your digestive issues. Just tell them gluten makes you very, very sick because you have celiac disease. If they press you for more details of what you mean by "sick" then you can either tell them the details or you can explain celaic disease in medical terms---for example say "When I eat gluten my body starts to have...

    I google _____ gluten free. But I also ask here if I can't find what I want. It's actually pretty easy for me to find gluten-free recipes. I have a harder time finding recipes that are gluten-free, Dairy free, soy free without any shellfish, pork or mushrooms....Although the last three can usually be left out or switched for chicken or beef. The first...

    The skin biospy for DH does not require you to eat gluten. It only requires that you have active legions. A proper biopsy will take samples from the skin next to the blisters/rash (NOT the blisters themselves) to test for antibodies. If you go to a Deratologist and you do have DH then you have a clear celiac diagnosis. I can understand why that may not...

    Yes reactions can change and she also could have more delayed reactions too. Kids especially sometimes seem to go through a stage where it may not give them bad symptoms (but that doesn't mean damage isn't being done) that is why doctors used ot think kids outgrew celiac. Now they know better of course. Sounds like you got lucky this time, but that doesn...

    If you can hold out for six months or so I always see KA mixers on deep sales for Black Friday. You do have to be fast however to get them. Walmart had one for $169 this past BF and that was the best deal I have ever seen.

    Have you had your DH biopsied recently? I'm curious if maybe it is not really DH but something else--like perhaps you have an allergy to somethign else you use reguarly. I don't know, but I would think two years gluten free should have given you more relief by now. If it makes you feel any better however I can relate about the bakery. I can not enter...

    Take as much shelf stable food as you can--Lara bars, gluten-free granola, gluten-free pretzels, trail mix, etc. If you can't get a fridge in your room you might be allowed to keep some food in the hotel's kitchen fridge (just be sure it is labled clearly with your name). If the hotel has a good breakfast buffet look for things like hard boiled eggs, bannanas...

    Hi, I think it's time you start a new tradition and bring your own gluten free lasagna with low lactose cheese (if you can have that, it not search for recipes that don't use cheese--I am allergic to dairy and I have made great lasagna packed with meat and veggies instead of cheese). If you can find Tinkyada pasta--it is SO GOOD! You'll be enjoying your...

    I have never seen a cheese that contains gluten. I have heard there is such a thing as beer cheese-- that would not be gluten free. Bleu cheese is up for debate. The debate stems from the way it used to be cultured--on bread. However most is now cultured ina lab instead and many types are now marked gluten free. Kraft cheese is marked gluten free and...

    I agree with Raven. You have a positive test. The one positive trumps the negative ones. You dr was no good. They should have at least advised you to try goign gluten free. Get a new dr and get retested (since this was 18 months ago it could change) if you really need a dr diagnosis befor egoing gluten free. If you are even gluten light at the time...

    Hi Julie, How was Celiac ruled out? Unless you have another disease diagnosis that is for sure causing the diarhea, you may still have Celiac with negative test results. The tests are very often false negative (meaning you have celaic disease but test negative). About 20-30% of celiacs test negative. However if you had even one positive test you have...

    I have multiple food allergies as well that are severe (see my signature). I have to pretty much cook everything at home from scratch as much as possible. I agree with NorTx. Make a list of the foods CAN have and then figure out the best way to prepare them so they are yummy for you. You should also try new foods that you don't currently eat, even if you...

    Sounds like it was the cutting board. If you don't get a new cutting board right away, next time just put some parchment paper or a piece of paper towel down to cut you veggies. I ate salads a lot prior to going gluten free too...but sometimes while your gut is healing you become temporaily more sensitive to things that are hard to digest.

    Sorry I don't have any links for you. I'm basing my staement on people's experiences I have read here. Perhaps someone else can giv eyou some research. Reasearch and testing is still in it's infancy, however compared to many other diseases. IMO, they will come up with a different way to test for neurological based celiac in the future and may even name...

    I don't know if there are ones for fructose, yeast or lactose. They do a breath test I beleive for lactose--but that is even hard to get in the US I think. There is not reallya blood test for gltuen intolerence. There are test for Celiac. From what I understand-- currently if you don't test positve for celiac but you have a positive response to the...

    Well then, as long as you are sure the chicken was safely cooked it was probably the sauce. I would not rule out that you may just be sensitive to something else in the sauce.

    What brand salad dressing was it? Did you chop your veggies on a wooden or plastic cutting board previously used for gluten? Also it may not be a gltuen thing, it may just be that you need to avoid raw veggies for a while. My stomach could not handle raw veggies and beans for about the first 6 months I was gluten free, but now I eat them all the time.

    We had cheeseless gluten-free pizza with Muir Glen pizza sauce and heavy turkey pepperoni. Turned out great! I recently tried the vegan cheese at Zpizza to see if I liked it and the taste made me ill--No offense to anyone that loves it but I had to scape all the fake cheese off and eat the gluten-free crust. Even then I was burping up the taste of the...

    Since homosexuals exist even in countries that do not eat wheat as their main staple, I highly doubt it. ETA: Also what in the world is the gluten and AIDS connection? never heard of that...
  21. GlutenFreeManna
    I've never heard of those before either. I found this page with recipes for soup and tea: Open Original Shared Link Sounds like these can be dangerous if you don't know how to cook or handle them!
  22. GlutenFreeManna
    What did you put it on/in and how was the food prepared?
  23. GlutenFreeManna
    I would have asked to speak to a MANAGER! It's the restaurants's choice wheather or not they want to serve you but no way does the waitress get to make that choice unless she owns the store or is the manager on duty. ETA: She certainly should not have said it rudely or loudly either if they could not accomodate you. I have gone through a few travling...

    What about Simply Juice? they make things like orange juice, apple juice, etc with no HFCS and no dyes or artifical flavors. Open Original Shared Link
  25. GlutenFreeManna
    Thanks Sylvia! You're dinner sounds great! I make that all the time too.
