    I had googled wheat grass and barley grass and found some info saying they don't contain gluten, but wasn't sure if I should believe it. Ugghhh....no smoothies then. I know I can try to make my own, but it's just so much easier to grab one from the smoothie shop!

    Does anyone have a Juice Stop where they live? I know it is a chain around my area, but not sure if it's nation-wide. They make awesome smoothies and I've been craving one so badly now that I'm pregnant. Their website doesn't have an allergen listing, but they use a lot of natural ingredients so I called the nearest location wasn't very satisified with...

    Last summer I made this cake and it was amazing, but it was before I was gluten-free. (link to the recipe below)I loved that it was so light and fluffy. Is there a way to make it gluten-free and still keep the lightness of the cake? I've thought of making cupcakes and using the frosting and cocunut, but don't know if it would be as good. I'm not a very...

    I'm a few weeks pregnant and last pregnancy (was not gluten-free) I had AWFUL morning sickness and had to be on Zofran to be able to leave the house for a few weeks. I'm hoping it won't be so bad this pregnancy, but am preparing in case. I called the company that manufactures Zofran and the answer they gave me was that there is not gluten in the ingredients...

    I'll have to look for the peppermint Lifesavers. Are all Lifesavers gluten-free? I've never heard of the Bob's brand of peppermints (or if I've eaten them I've never paid attention to the brand name). What stores carry this brand?

    My husband and I just found out we are expecting our child and feeling so blessed and excitd! But the nausea is starting to appear. My last pregnancy I was not gluten-free yet and what worked for me was peppermint candies or other hard candies. I went to the store to try to find some gluten-free peppermint candies and all the brands I found said they were...

    I'm going on day 4 of diarrhea. Yesterday it seemed to be getting a bit better, but not anymore. I may have eaten something wrong to cause this, but I'm not sure. I've taken the questionable foods out of my diet, taken out milk for now (except for some greek yogurt with active cultures) and spent yesterday eating rice, veggies, rice Chex and banana. I...

    I recently began getting heartburn and am looking for suggestions on gluten-free antacids. I don't have any in my house right now and am just looking for brands that others are using. Gotta get some relief!!

    Thanks for the replies! I'm feeling better over the last 24 hours- and I have eaten some of the cake in that time so I don't think it's that and I have continued with the vitamins so maybe it's not that either. It's my son's birthday party today so we'll see what happens when I eat the frosting. Keeping a food journal isn't a bad idea. Thanks for the...

    I've been feeling sick lately- some loose stools and feeling so queasy. But I absolutely cannot figure out what could possibly be making me feel this way. The only new things I've eaten lately are wal-mart's extra virgin olive oil, Americolor food coloring (I called the company and they told me it's gluten-free), a new Spring Valley vitamin (labeled gluten...

    I also have a 2 year old son that we're not sure if has celiac. He began reacting with horrible vomitting to certain foods around 6 months old and we think it was either gluten or soy. He had gluten a few months ago and there wasn't vomitting, so we're not sure what to think. We just kept him gluten-free because he was also dealing with c.diff. for awhile...

    Thanks for the reply. I see how it can make sense to wait. I just get tired of not being "normal". I've been through so many tests over the last few years to figure out the pain. I think we've ruled about everything out, so it wouldn't surprise me if it's gluten and/or an overuse injury causing the problems. I always wanted to have my kids 3-4 years...

    I was diagnosed with gluten sensitivity in Nov. and have been gluten-free since then (blood negative, then went gluten free for 2 months then decided to try a biopsy so did a 3 month gluten challenge then had a biopsy that was negative). My husband and I want to have another child at some point- within the next couple of years. Well, in calculating I figured...

    Congrats on your pregnancy!! I did not know about my gluten issues during my pregnancy a couple years ago but can definately remember the cravings. I had horrible morning sickness and the ONLY thing I seemed to be able to eat in the morning was poptarts (I pretty much lived on them for a week). I craved carbs during my pregnancy (and BBQ chicken until...

    We're doing a dairy free trial for my son (almost 2 years old). Trying to find a rice milk was hard because I needed to avoid gluten/dairy/soy and also wanted to avoid brown rice syrup. So I decided to try the Pacific brand because it seemed to fit all those criteria. Once we switched him to that milk he began crying everyday when we dropped him off at...

    Thanks for the suggestions. A buttercream-like frosting is what I would idealy like because I'll be decorating with it and coloring it red, black, orange and yellow. I'm going to make some super cute Elmo cupcakes for him to take to daycare so gotta be able to make Elmo red. And his birthday party is going to be Mickey Mouse and I'll be making a cake with...

    My son's 2nd birthday party is coming up soon and I need help with a recipe for frosting that tastes good. It needs to be gluten, dairy and soy free but yet taste "normal". I love buttercream icing...is there a way to get that taste and texture without the butter? I've searched online and see that you can take Wilton's recipe and substitute more shortening...

    I have an almost 2 year old that is gluten-free for now. At first I felt bad for him (and now me too since I'm gluten-free also), but after awhile I realized it could be so much worse. This is a disease that's not curable, but at the same time there's not drugs to be on the rest of his life or no needed surgery. And because of this diet change my family...

    So I went to the rheumatologist this morning and apparently my labs are now normal. UGGGGHHHH!!!! When she ordered the bloodwork she tested for the same antibodies, but used a different test to do it. Apparently this test has a lower false positive rate and everything was negative. So once again I got to be stressed and spend time and money for nothing...

    Thanks! I found out that I had the elevated ANA (nothing new for me), and tested positive for centromere antibodies and the SSB antibody. My rheumatologist has ordered lots more bloodtests, urine test, echocardiogram and pulmonary lung function test. Tomorrow morning I go back for results. The last couple weeks have been incredibly painful....increased...

    My almost 2 year old had an appointment with a new GI to discuss the possibility of celiac and his loose stools. Since we've questioned dairy and soy he recommended we put him on rice milk for a few weeks. So I went to the health food section at our grocery store and the rice milk that he had for a few weeks this summer has brown rice syrup in it. Ugghhhh...

    This story was one of the main ones on yahoo's homepage today. The title was about arsenic in baby formula and baby food, which is why I clicked on it. But when I read the article it also discussed gluten free foods. Just thought I'd share for everyone to read. Open Original Shared Link

    I haven't noticed them getting white or blue. I've googled Raynauds and looked at pictures and my hands don't look that pale or blue. My fingers are often cold though.

    My rheumatologist has recently ordered more testing for me due to years of weird symptoms and some antibodies detected in bloodwork (1 for Sjogren's and I think something related to Lupus). So I've decided to really watch my symptoms until my next appointment and I have a couple questions to help with that. I'm wondering what joint pain feels like. I...

    My appointment today went really well I think. My labs are different than they were a few years ago- new things are being detected. But she said they didn't quite add up to her because some of the elevated tests didn't match up with my symptoms well. I did test positive for 1 antibody related to Sjogren's Syndrome, but she said it's not common to have...
