I made this recipe tonight and added a couple of things. I used dried cranberries for the fruit and added crispy brown rice cereal to the corn flakes. These are really good and my celiac daughter loves them! Thank you for the recipe. Kenda

Hi Donna, Are your injectable injections a doctor's presription? The reason I ask is that I was getting weekly B-12/complex/C injections when I felt run down, actually I was coming down with a virus. My doctor told me that I could only take them weekly for a month because they change your blood cells. You might want to check into this if you have...

If the cause of your distension and bloating is a sluggish digestive system they will help. Kenda

Hi Joanna, I had the celiac blood test today so I should get my results in about a week. My husband will get tested as well. I'm surprised he's willing, he's afraid of needles. I started my daughter on a gluten-free diet a week ago and she improved within 2 days. Her stomach is still upset a bit but nothing like it had been for weeks preceeding...

This is amazing, I also have chronic fatigue and thyroid problems as well. I am really excited to get the celiac disease test. I plan on eating gluten-free, along with my daughter, anyway but I'd love to know if this could be part of the reason I am the way I am. How about messed up female hormones, are they a symptom? I might as well pin everything...

Thank you "Bush", Kati and celiac3270! I'm anxious to get tested. I've had Interstitial Cystitis for over 20 years. Since I started eating healthier in the past 5 years, it has improved tremendously. I'm wondering now if it's because I stopped eating the typical America diet and less gluten. My immune system is very weak and I have trouble gaining...

Hi Mel, I just read that you took Actonel!! Oh my God!! I took it once and only once, it made me sick as a dog with all of the symptoms you describe, stomach upset, muscle aches and pains, it was horrible and took darn near a week to go away. Anyone with gut problems should not take Actonel, at least according to my doc. I make my own ginger tea...

Hi all, I wrote last week about my newly diagnosed 12-year old Celiac daughter. I spoke today with my Naturopath about her being positive and whether I should be tested. Interestingly, he told me that the Interstitial Cystitis I have had for 20 plus years and the pancreatitis attack I had 18 months ago could be caused by Celiac disease, even though I...

Thank you, Boojca! I'll have to ask the doc what the numbers really mean. Since our pediatrician sent her to a gastro and told me that she does have celiac, I figured it was like pregnancy. I'll keep your chicken nuggets recipe. I'm sure Morgan will want "normal" food at some point. Right now, she is really enjoying the gluten-free brownies and...

Hi Mel, I'm sorry to hear you are having such a rough time of it. My daughter has celiac disease ad I can sympathize with you trying to figure out what is going on. Two things come to my mind. One is that most Chinese restaurants use MSG. MSG affects people differently but is a common allergen. My kids and I all get sick if we eat foods poisoned...

Thank you so much, Molly. You have affirmed what I already thought about the biopsy. I was expecting the gastro to tell me to take her off the diet for a biopsy and that sounded insane to me. Why stir up the symptoms unnecessarily when she is doing so well. She is thrilled that the gluten-free foods are so tasty and is even more thrilled to finally feel...

Thank you for your help!! I made an appointment today with the recommended ped. gastro. Unfortunately they are booking for the end of April! I started her on the gluten-free diet a few days ago and already she feels better. I made some gluten-free brownies yesterday and was shocked at how good they are. Definitely not low fat but very good. I...

Hi, I posted this under the kids' section but didn't receive a reply. I am hopeful maybe someone here can help me out. I am the mother of 12-year old Morgan. Morgan has always been what I have called a stomach achy kind of gal. She is very hard on herself and demands perfection so we assumed, as did her doctor, that she was reacting to stress....

Thank you, Richard. It's good to know these things. She rarely drinks pop but it's nice to know that I don't have to refuse her on the rare occasions she asks for it. Kenda

Hi, My daughter is 12 and obviously doesn't drink beer but on the list of foods to avoid from our doctor is caramel color which is in coke. Do you tolerate caramel color? Thank you. Kenda
