ARCHIVED Without Gluten And Rice, Where Do I Spread?
starla replied to hoyhacesol's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I am gluten/corn/dairy free and love Open Original Shared Link. It's a dry mix made w/tapicoa flour. I believe the Original version has dairy (cheese) which is closer to the chebe bread common in brazil. The pizza, all-purpose and cinnamon "bun" bread are free of my food sensitivities and have always turned out well. Ingredients: Manioc (tapioca) flour... -

My sister suggested taking corn out of my diet because she successfully cleared everything up by doing... -

Thanks so much for answering! Like most people on this quest (it seems), I ran into mostly unhelpful, dismissive Drs. Most made me feel like a hypochondriac and one even said that it could be in my head. Partly, it's my fault - I tried a gluten free diet (very successfully) before getting tested. I wanted to know if I was barking up the right... -

Hello, I've been a lurker for some time but I finally got a Dr to do a genetics test and would love some help w/my results. I went to a Genetics Counselor and he ordered the test from the Mayo Clinic. My results are negative for DQ2 and DQ8 - that part I understand. For the first time however, I have a Dr who listened to my background (family history...
