    I suspect my parents, brother and grandmother all have it but they refuse to be tested for it. My mother and grandmother both have thyroid disease. My grandmother had stomach problems and anemia for years and just recently survived surgery for intestial cancer. My brother was diagnosed with "IBS" years ago but he got rid of it for the most part by changing...

    I put that I never eat food prepared by gluten-free friends because I don't have any gluten-free friends. However I think I would not trust them if I talked to them and found out they had not eliminated cross contamination. Truth is, some people ar enot as sensitive and maybe don't feel the need to do some of those things, however I AM extremely sensitive...

    You need to make sure that you are not sharing things that can become cross-contaminated (cc) by the gluten eaters in your home. For example if you have a jar of peanut butter and your SO spreads it on his/her toast every day then there will be crumbs in the peanut butter and they can make you sick. You should have your own butter, peanut butter, jelly...

    Unless you plan to have more testing done in the future, you need to eliminate gluten completely. I'm surprised with your positive test results your doctors didn't tell you you have celiac. It's sort of like a pregancy test. The line may be a really faint positive, but it's positive all the same. You can't be a little bit pregnant and you can't have a...

    Balsamic vinegar is a staple of my diet because I can't have soy in any form. I have not seen one with gluten, but just check the ingredients on the label of the one you use. I currently have Regina brand in my cabinet and it says "this product is free of gluten" on the label. I bought it some time ago however, so double check the lable if you go to buy...

    If you are feeling adventurous you might try making your own: Open Original Shared Link The comments seem to inciate mixed results with coconut milk working the best.

    Yep, don't tell him anything. He wants you to "try to contact him" to set things straight. Don't even give him the pleasure of knowing how upsetting his letter to you was. If you contact him in any way, even angrily, then he has hope that you are still secretly pining for him. You also really need to discuss the extent of what this guy is doing with your...

    Did she make other things that contained gluten at the same time--like making rolls from scratch or something? Did she use pans and utensils which she has used for gluten items in the past? Were the veggies chopped on a wooden or plastic cutting board that may have been used for gluten in the past? When she rinsed the cabbage did she put it in a collander...

    I would cut off all communication. Unfriend him and take him off your IM. If he continues to send you love letters and phones you despite your requests to stop then it's time to call the police and get a restraining order. Also I hope you have been upfront about telling your DH ALL about this guy. Otherwise it can come back to bite you later. If the...

    $2.50 is a really good price! I may have to check out that site that starts with A for other things. I bought my first couple bags of Chebe from my local Allergy friendly store. I really do want to keep supporting them, but the mark-up is so high it kills me to buy everything there. I will keep making my tapioca pizza crust from scratch however because...

    Isn't it great? I recently figured out how to duplicate the pizza crust mix using tapioca flour. I use a food scale, put about a teaspoon of dried oregano, half a teaspoon of garlic powder, half a teaspoon of onion powder, and a teaspoon of kosher salt in the bowl on the scale. Then I add tapioca flour until it weighs the weight on the Chebe bag (I think...

    Only way I can see this working out is if they have a separate station for gluten-free toppings and condiments, separate toaster and educate employees really, really well about the need to change gloves. Unfortunately none of those scenarios are highly likely, IMO. This will just be another place for people that are doign gluten-free as a trendy diet and...

    Orange chicken, broccoli and jasmine rice.

    Have you eliminated other sources of gluten besides food? For example playdough, paste, and other craft items that he would be playing with in school? All it takes is for him to get this on his hands and then eat his lunch or even just rub his eyes, touch his nose or put his fingers in his mouth. Many parents here provide gluten free playdough and snacks...

    If you are on facebook do a search for "Food Should Taste Good" and "like" them. They were giving out coupons for free products a few months ago. Unfortuantely I never found them in my area. I guess that's for the best if they have soy in them. But anyway they have done a lot of giveaways and contests on their facebook page lately. Also when you write...

    Oh, that's so nice. I hope you can attend soon and partake of communion again. I had the Lord's Supper for the first time in eight months at church this past Sunday. About eight months ago I had just done like you and taken the bread anyway. I was so sick immediately I went to the bathroom and vomited, then I had spots in front of my eyes and had to have...

    Another recipe I have seens but never tried was to pour leftover grits (before they get hard) into a greased square dish and spread to about 1/2 inch thick. Put them in the fridge until they get cool and harden. Then pull out, cut into squares and fry in bacon grease. Never tried this since I can't eat bacon and I'm not sure how it would work with oil...

    Everyone has given great advice so far. I just want to add that when I was healing for the first few months I could not have eaten a salad like that. My intestines were really sensitive and I couldn't tolerate very many raw foods at once. Perhaps this is just the case for you as well? Even if this is a salad you have always eaten in the past without problems...

    I'm not from the South but I have lived there for about ten years. I've never tried grits with sweet stuff in them, but I prefer savory things for breakfast. Another thing you can try is mixing them with cooked bacon or sausage. I did this when I couldn't eat cheese and butter (using turkey bacon). They also make a good casserole with eggs: Open Original...

    Her statement is confusing. Are you sure she took biopsies? How many did she take? Is it possible she just did a scope and didn't actaully take any samples? It's my understanding from reading on here (someone correct me if I'm wrong) that they can't see villi damage when they do an endoscopy (during the procedure), that's why they can miss biopsying the...

    There was a post on this product a few months ago. If it has wheatgrass in it, it is not safe. Don't buy their claims that it's gluten free. I'll see if I can find the post for you.
  24. GlutenFreeManna
    Even if your tests were negative then, it does not mean that they would be negative now. You may not have had enough damage to show up on the endoscopy or the damage could be patchy and they may not have taken the samples from the right place OR they may have only taken one sample. Legally you are entitled to a copy of all your medical records and test...

    Sounds like you had a great time! I was like that too the first time I went to Navan. I didn't discover it until abotu six months into my diagnosis and I was struggling to find stuff before that (having to go to several stores, etc). It was so hard to choose things I wanted to try, I wanted to try it ALL, lol. I'm so glad you had a successful (and fun...
