About Me

I am a stay at home mom of five wonderful children! We also have five dogs! I have gluten issues, and other allergies...I am a positive, happy, person, and so glad that I get to be home to take care of my children!!!

    I guess I haven't thought it through, because honestly I am assuming I will react in some way and remember the pain I went through, so I won't want to do it again! The pizza I ate tonight is the same pizza I would make with my gluten free crust, just on regular crust, so I shouldn't react to any of the other ingredients. If I have no symptoms I will contact...

    I was diagnosed with a wheat allergy about 7 years ago ( I had already been diagnosed with other food allergies over the years). After going wheat free I did feel better but not great. After a few years I went to a new allergist, he tested me for celiac disease, however, because I was wheat free for so long the test was negative and he said I could just...

    shellfish allergy, but I also have a gluten and dairy intolerance, peanut allergy, and I should also be avoiding other nuts, citrus, mint, strawberries, chocolate, pork, and all salt-water fish. Hi, I was diagnosed with a wheat allergy, peanut allergy, hazelnut allergy, grape allergy, egg allergy, shellfish allergy, a dairy intolerance and a gluten intolerance...

    I have been gluten free for years, however, my children still eat gluten at school and when we go out to eat. I was never diagnosed with celiac disease, I do have a wheat allergy and a gluten sensitivity. My daughter has had a rash on again and off again on her butt for years, they start out like a pimple and then pops and is purple colored and really scaly...

    I agree about going to a doctor. Are you on any medications? Some medicines have side effects and they can start at any time. I have questioned my gluten issues-but every time I tried to reintroduce it, it ended badly! For a long time I thought every pain and symptom was because of what I ate.. I was put on an anxiety medication at the time, becuase...

    I don't know if you can buy it online...You could try amazon! If you go to pillsbury online you can check locations near you--and alot of places (like piggly wiggly) will order it in for you...

    They only have choc chip, however, they also carry a pie crust and I did buy that and maybe will do some experimenting with it or just make a peach pie!

    My local piggly wiggly is now carrying pillsbury gluten free cookie dough in the refrigerator section. Can I say that they taste amazing!!! I know that they are not very healthy, however, with 5 kids it was so convenient to just pop open a tub and make tasty hot cookies without all the work!!! My kids loved them and even my husband wanted more... Just...

    Lemongrass is from the botanical family - Gramineae (grasses) and I have read that wheat is from the grass family as well. I am gluten intolerant, but I am also allergic to wheat. I have an allergy to grass as well. I know that gluten is not added to the oil. I don't understand if consuming or putting on lemongrass would bother me. What I am saying is...

    I am starting to sell young living (essental oils) and I really want start using them in place of medications and lotions and such. Just wondering if lemongrass and others would effect me. Lemongrass comes from grass and wheat is associated with grass. Am I wrong? I know that the oils do go through the skin and they effect the cells within 20 minutes...

    So I have been gluten free for over two years and it has been wonderful. However, I have added many prepackaged gluten free foods into my diet, and I am having more and more symptoms coming back. I was up all last night and I still can't seem to stand up straight. My stomach hurts so bad and I just want to cry. I think I need to go back to the basics...

    Most of my symptoms are with my menstural cycle. I have severe PMS and heavy menstrual cycles every 25 days. I am tired alot (which all dr's say it's because I have five children). I am cold all the time, my body temp is never over 97.5, which they say it's winter! I think they figured after all the years I am just a hypochondriac!! I have started taking...

    I guess I should be happy, a little over two years ago, before I went gluten free, my thyroid antibodies were high. They never did anything about it at the time, however, I was having some symptoms I thought could be related to hypothyroid. They checked the antibodies again, and the are within normal range. I am still having problems that I would like...

    I have the same cook book! We love it..She uses a great flour blend as well...

    I have had many hypothyroid symptoms for a few years, however, my TSH is always in normal range. The most recent TSH test was 1.95, which I understand is great. I do have high thyroid antibodies 16.2 and normal is >9. My mom and sister are both hypothyroid. I have many hypothyroid symptoms, weight gain low body temp (95.6 to about 97.2) extremely...
