I was thinking about that...doing gluten-free, Dairy free, and egg free...or at least giving people the option of ordering things that didn't have other allergy-producing foods. I can do a good gluten-free/dairy free product (even cheese cake, believe it or not!) but I haven't had much experience cooking without eggs. Is it hard? I think it's especially...

I have a good friend who has Celiac's also, and both of us have gotten good at gluten-free baked goods. Opal (my friend) makes incredible cookies and cobblers, and I've gotten good at a variety of fun birthday cakes as well as cupcakes, muffins, scones and the like. We have been tossing around the idea of doing a bakery, or a home-based baked goods business...

I just found out I have microscopic colitis, I had been gluten-free for several years and had improved considerably but wasn't totally better. I have been on meds (pepto, of all things!) for the colitis and had really improved, so I slacked on watching the gluten content a little. I'm not talking about eating a slice or regular pizza or anything, just not...

Boar's Head blue cheese is gluten-free.

The Mission chips that I buy have "gluten free" right on the label, so they must be pretty safe! I eat them all the time and haven't had a problem. Their corn tortillas are gluten-free also, and the salsa flavor chips are gluten-free and yummy. Costco carries a huge bag of Mission chips, for dirt cheap!

Ok, so I've continued to have D even since going gluten-free...my symptoms are much better and the other things (dizziness, rashes, water retention, horrible bloating and a whole host of other things) went away but the D still persisted. I had a colonoscopy last week to rule out other problems...it turns out that I have some weird form of colitis (can't...

My problems started after having my 3ed baby. I don't know if it was the pregnancy or the fact that I had surgery afterwards (tubes tied, I don't recommend it!) but it was just about 3 months afterwards for me, too.

My son loves They Might Be Giants. They're not exactly contemporary, 'cause they were big when I was a teen...but they are still really cool. They have an album just for kids that is fun, or you could pick some favorites off itunes.

WhoooooHoooo! It's over! And so far everything looks OK. There was an area of inflammation that the dr. thinks could be either just due to the procedure itself or maybe a bacterial thing (microscopic colitis maybe?) but other than that things looked OK. Whew! And I have to say, the whole process was not nearly as bad as I thought it would be! The...

Ugh, I can't wait. So far I don't feel anything except slightly sick from the salty taste and the fruit juice, which I never drink because it makes me sick. Sigh. I guess that I won't miss white grape juice after I get through tonight and tomorrow and never want to see it again, since I don't really like it anyway!

I'll be sooooooooooo happy if I get the IBS tag, at least that means it's nothing serious and then I can go about trying to find ways to make it better. But I share your frustration that there isn't a quick or easy fix! I wonder how many other people have IBS *and* Celiac's? Ugh, here we go....I'm on the first cup of white grape juice and what...

I'm nervous about the ride there, too...it's only a few blocks luckily but they have me taking the stuff starting again at 6 a.m., so hopefully I'll make it. dlp252, I'm glad everything turned out OK for you! I've had bleeding, too...it's been traced to an internal hemrroid, but I'm nervous that they'll find something else, too. I'm wondering if they'll...

Ugh, I have a colonoscopy tomorrow and I'm really nervous about it! I don't know what I'm more worried about...the nasty prep I'm in for starting at 6 tonight or the procedure itself or the possibility of finding something really scary going on in my digestive tract. I'm sort of a mess! The good news is that I really like my new gi doctor. I had to...

My symptoms got worse after my last baby. I think, though, what is making it re-occur is that I usually have D....since going gluten-free it is much, much better and I suspect that's why the hemroids went away for a few years. I got glutened this weekend, which seems to have tipped it off again. I don't exactly get pain with this, but it does feel weird...

Ok, I"m embarrassed to ask but I'm really stressing over this and maybe someone here can help... What do bleeding hemroids act like? I have had blood in my stool about once a year for the last 5 years, it quit happening after I went gluten-free and the D stopped being as bad...didn't happen for 2 years and then has started again receintly. My regular...
