    I know this is hard and I'm sorry your family is not yet understanding how careful you need to be. Why don't you take a different approach to eating safely for a while? When I go to things like baby showers I don't plan on eating the food there unless I am close enoguh to the person to help prepare the food. If it is around meal time I eat before I go...

    I didn't know that about you. Those other autoimmune diseases are common in people with Celiac, especially if it takes years to get diagnosed or they continue to eat gluten after diagnosis. I beleive it is all connected. If you continue to consume gluten, even in small amounts your antibodies will continue to flare. On the other hand, some on this board...

    We had Gingered Maui Maui, green beans with almonds and sweet corn.

    Hi David! It is very important that you help keep your wife safe by either drastically reducing the amount of gltuen in your house or eliminating it completely. Gluten is like a poison to your wife. Everytime you touch something with gluten and then your wife touches that thing after you it risks harming her/making her ill if she eats or touches her face...

    You'll get through this! I understand how hard it is to ask for help and ask your family to change for you but it must be done for your health. Otherwise you will only get worse, not better. I'm going to share with you (and you husband) some of my personal story. Before I figured out my problem was gluten I was bedbound with pain. The doctor had revoked...

    Why can't he make a fan too? He can make one for his mom or for his sister if he thinks it's too girly or he can use the paper to make paper airplanes or just color a picture something instead. If it's meant to be a girl only party why invite him? Or did his parents insist on bringing him along with his sister or something? If that's the case I think...

    Pamela's white cake mix makes the most moist cake I've ever had--gluten-free and non gluten-free. If you can't get that though try adding a can of pumpkin to the Betty Crocker yellow cake mix and don't cook it as long OR make cupcakes with it. The yellow BC mixes seem to make better cupcakes than full size cakes. Before they added soy to the mixes I made...

    The gluten-free diet should not make you bleed. That is one of the possible severe side effects of Asacol. See here: Open Original Shared Link Get medical help ASAP! At the very least, call your doctor's office and speak to the nurse on call.

    You have positive blood tests and positive response to the diet. That is more than some of us have. Skip the biopsy. You are just redamaging yourself by eating gluten again for the required amount of time to do it anyway.

    It sounds like you really need to take your kitchen gluten free in order to get better. Your family can eat gluten when they are out of the house at school/daycare/work or when you go out to eat at restuarants with gluten free menus. You need to convince them of the importance this. Let your husband know when you are sick. Don't do anything extra as long...

    Hi, welcome to the board! If I am understanding your post it sounds like you only had a wheat allergy test and a celaic gene test? Celiac's are not "alergic" to wheat (well some of us are but the point is celiac is not an allergy). Celiac is an autoimmune disease in which we have a reaction to the protein in wheat, barley, rye and sometimes oats. Your...

    We had our corned beef early too. We had other plans tonight and I didn't want to mess with it today. Unfortunately the corned beef was SO good I didn't have enough leftovers to make wraps. I will still try this recipe though because I really do miss wraps. I used to love the Chicken Fil A Ceasar Chicken Wrap. I still miss it. Speaking of corned beef...

    Thank You Mushroom! So if it's high I won't be alarmed I guess. I had a positve ANA test a few years ago but they said it wasn't lupus after a follow up test. I know I have something auto-immune goign on. I'm hoping that it's only celiac.

    Okay so I posted before about a frustrating trip to a new dr in which it seemed like I had been tested for celiac against my will. I have been gluten free for over a year so the test results would inevitably come back negative. Today I got the list of blood tests that were actually run and the celiac test panel was NOT included. So I can breath a sigh...

    Ever since I got married there has been pink mold in the shower. I wipe it off every week and every week it is there again. My husband and I figured out it was coming from him somehow because when he goes on extended business trips (2 weeks to 2 months) the mold does not return until he returns. Fast forward to about a month ago, my husband has been told...

    Thank you! So are you saying I don't need to add any extra sugar if I use dark chocolate instead of semi-sweet chips and coocnut oil instead of butter? I have not had these since childhood but I do remember them being very sweet.
  17. GlutenFreeManna
    Thanks, I was not aware of Spectrum shortening. I just looked it up and it's nothing but Palm oil it seems. I will have to look for that. I probably won't get around to making this for a few weeks. I'm hoping someone else has already done it and knows what works. I will have to add more sweetner too since I can't use chocolate with dairy in it--I need...

    As others have said don't enable her but don't belittle her or rip the gluten away from her. I think we all here went through a period of denial or "testing" it to see if we really need to stay gluten free. Let her run through her emotions on this at her own pace. DON'T buy gluten food and bring it to her but don't criticize her if she chooses to eat gluten...

    I have been craving something crunchy and chocolatey lately and I want to try to make these: Open Original Shared Link The only problem is I'm allergic to dairy and intolerant of soy. I know there is Earth Balance spread that is soy free and dairy free. I also have considered using coconut oil (which is a solid at room temp). I have not had any experience...

    I make mine in the slow cooker. Here is what I do: Filling: 1 lb LEAN ground beef or ground turkey (important for it to be lean) 1 cup cooked rice 1 small onion finely chopped 1 large egg 1 clove minced garlic (or more if you really like garlic) salt and pepper to taste (I don't measure but probably 1/8 teapsoon pepper and 1/2 teaspoon reg salt or...

    Also for snacks the Cinnimon Chex and the Chocolate Chex would make good gluten-free snacks. I like to eat them without milk. Just verify they are nut free of course.

    Moon Dough is gluten free. I'm not sure how it compares to Play Dough but it may be cheaper to buy Moon Dough in bulk than to make playdough from gluten-free flours.

    Part of the reason some gluten-free items are scattered throughout the store instead of in the gluten-free section may have more to do with the manufacturer's and NOT the store. The stores place things on certain shelves according to the manufacture's requests for product placement. They pay extra to stores to have things placed at eye level for example...

    We had corned beef with potatoes carrots and onions in the slow cooker. Was going to do cabbage too but hubby confessed to me he really doesn't like cabbage (unless they are cabbage rolls) and I couldn't find a crockpot recipe that let me add the cabbage at the same time as everything else so I just gave up (felt lazy and didn't want to steam or braise the...

    It very well could be from previous days glutening. Everyone is different but for me, my symptoms last at least three days. If you got a double whammy between the smootie cc and cereal then it may just last an extra day for you. Drink lots of water to stay hydrated and flush out your system. Keep eating things you know from past experience are safe for...
