ARCHIVED What Were Your Childs Symptoms?
alex11602 replied to bny06's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
For my youngest...she was 15 months old when we couldn't stand her being sick anymore and figured out the problem. She was born a normal length and weight (8 lb. 8 oz., 20 1/2 in long), but she had a blood glucose level of 31 was she was first born. After that she refused to eat which was strange (she has always had a problem with cow's milk) and she just... -

The most surprising for me was my daughter's gag reflex going away. She is finally able to eat yogurt and mashed potatoes without throwing up:) -
ARCHIVED Need Brands Of gluten-free Flours
alex11602 replied to thleensd's topic in Super Sensitive People
I order my flour from nutsonline.com. I buy the almond flour from them and love it in Elana's Pantry recipes. I also bought the coconut flour but have not tried it yet, they have on their site what they test to and precautions that they take. -

That sounds really good. And I don't think you need to work on dessert...baked apples are one of my favorites. I made them for breakfast the other morning and stuffed them with homemade pumpkin butter. -

That recipe looks yummy! Anyway I used the Tinkyada brown rice lasagna noodles except that I didn't cook them before I made the lasagna, it didn't get gummy that way. Just make sure that the sauce that you use covers the noodles so that they are able to cook. -

I actually need to try beans, I never liked them growing up but since tastes change so much over the years I will be trying them again. The mac n cheese recipe sounds really good, I'm going to have to try that. -

I will have to look at that website, thank you. And Skylark, I looked at that book and it looks very interesting so I reserved it from the library to look at it first. I have never had Indian food, but I am more then willing to try it. I'm trying with the food today...for breakfast I had apple slices dipped in homemade pumpkin butter and 24 roasted almonds... -
ARCHIVED Considering Putting Baby On Gluten-Free Diet - Am I Paranoid?
alex11602 replied to Ollie's Mom's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
We started my youngest on a gluten free diet when she was 15 months old and she didn't fully stop with the bad poop (it had gotten worse also) until we took out dairy and soy, plus a few others but dairy and soy were the worse. Good luck...I really hope that you can get everything resolved for your son. -

My oldest can have dairy a couple of times a week (really bad eczema otherwise) so we will be having it sometimes. -
Someone mentioned starting a thread like the what's for dinner but having it for vegetarian meals and since I am going to try becoming a vegetarian I figured that I would start it. Personally I am unsure of how to get all my protein since as a family we can't have alot of dairy, no soy, so far no eggs and I have never had beans in a way I liked them although...

ARCHIVED What Food Do You Miss Most And What Has Taken It's Place?
alex11602 replied to mommyto2kids's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
On another thread I said that I miss good bread and dipping oil the most, can't find a sub either bc of not being able to really have yeast or eggs. Baked potatoes have definitely taken the place with a good extra virgin oil on it and some salt and pepper. -
ARCHIVED What Was Your First gluten-free Week Like?
alex11602 replied to futuredvm24's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I actually felt great after two days with a few bad days mixed in over the next few months, but my youngest daughter didn't feel better until we figured out the other foods that she couldn't have. My oldest daughter doesn't have GI symptoms so we didn't notice a change until we gave her potatoes one night and she could eat them without being sick (she always... -
ARCHIVED How/why Did You Choose Your Member Name?
alex11602 replied to love2travel's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
alex is the first part of my name and the 11602 is the date 11-6-02, which is the day my husband and I got together. It worked for me because he has been my rock through everything that has happened. -
Thank you anyway. No yeast or eggs is making bread tough to find right now. Maybe eventually I will figure something out, we have been doing some experimenting with almond flour lately so hopefully I find something suitable.
