    Yogurt, planter's cashews, bananas. I don't have to keep anything in my purse because i never go anywhere.

    Sounds yummy! Let us know how it tastes.

    Celiac is not an allergy, it is an autoimmune disease. It is easier sometimes to just tell people you're allergic, (especially in restaurants) because people understand what an allergy is, but they don't understand autoimmune diseases or intolerances. But anyway... Very often it is a traumatic event, either physical or emotional, that will trigger celiac...

    I think the prevelance of lot's of illnesses, not just celiac, is because the "normal" American diet no longer consists of food. Instead we are eating a lot of processed chemicals with a tiny bit of food mixed in. Here is a list of ingredients in a "three meat" frozen pizza. I used to eat a lot of this stuff! INGREDIENTS INGREDIENTS: ENRICHED WHEAT...

    If you boil the chicken it will be easier to digest. Then you will also be making broth. Sage is good with chicken. Rosemary is too. When I use rosemary I don't want those little twigs in my food so I put it in a tea ball and hang it over the side of the pot. That way it gets boiled and releases the flavor but I can just throw the twigs away. I'm proud...

    Granted I can't have many types of nuts, but the one's I can eat, I always buy Planters because I know they are safe. I know that won't help you if you're buying something to cook with or looking for something that isn't roasted or salted. I guess you would have to go armed with pen and paper, write down the contact info, and then email every company. What...

    Did somebody say paranoia? You must have been talking about me!! That being said, I no longer eat ANY ground meat from the grocery store or elsewhere. If I want a burger, I buy the meat and grind it myself. Here is why: Open Original Shared Link I used to live on junk food. I hardly ever cooked for myself. Since going gluten-free, I have become...

    Chances are good. And both you and their father should be tested too.

    Lay the crescent rolls (without rolling them) in an oblong casserole dish so they touch and hang over the sides. Put a 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick layer of cream cheese on them. Now open a can of fruit (peaches are good) and pour it on top. Fold the hanging ends of the crescent rolls over the top. Bake it in the oven for a while until it looks done. I've...

    Hey! I could eat that!!! It has no corn or soy!! And I LOVE cauliflower. I probably shouldn't try tomato sauce because I suspect a nightshade intolerance, but I could use some of the yummy gluten-free sausage my health food store carries and make a white pizza with it. Now all I need to do is buy a pizza pan and convince myself that even *I*, the world...

    After hearing so many talk about how Rice Chex bother them (as they do me), I finally wrote to the company. They do indeed contain corn. So those of us with corn intolerances had best stay away from them. Here is what they said: Dear Ms. XXXX: Thank you for contacting us concerning Rice Chex cereal. We appreciate the opportunity to address this...

    Hmm...You might be developing new intolerances. But then again, you might still be dealing with that "stomach virus". There are a lot of nasty things out there that can grab you and hang on. I would see the doctor about this before doing anything else.
  13. bartfull
    You need to read the Newbie 101 thread, plus as many other threads here as possible. There are many places that gluten can hide and even though it's hard to believe at first, just the tinyest bit of gluten can cause damage. Also, be aware that if the kids have it, both you and your husband should be tested. There is a very good chance that they inherited...

    It might be non-celiac gluten intloerance which will give you the same symptoms as celiac but supposedly not the villi damage. As a matter of fact, they say that they symptoms of NCGI can be even worse than celiac symptoms. There is no way to test for this. The only way to tell is to eliminate gluten and see if you feel better. If you decide to try gluten...
  15. bartfull
    Yeah, the allergy tests will only test for allergies (the kind that give you anaphalaxis). They aren't even all that accurate. There are not currently any tests available for intolerances. The only way to find out what you're intolerant to is an elimination diet. Takes a long time to figure it all out, but if you already have an idea of the foods that bother...

    Hmmm...I ASSUMED it was the corn, but I notice Shadow said she thinks the vitamins come from soy. THAT must have been what got me. Either that or it's because I wasn't fully healed when I tried them. Maybe I'll check into that soy thing and if they ARE soy-free, I'll give them another try.
  17. bartfull
    Chex don't work for me because even if there is no gluten, even the rice Chex are CC'd with corn.

    I can't eat most fruit because of my salicylate sensitivity. All I can safely eat are bananas and pears, but the produce here is atrocious. I just don't waste my money on it anymore. The only medication I take is tylenol and I have to have it compounded. For a while there I had gotten to the point where I could tolerate corn starch so I was able to take regular...

    Celiac runs in families. There are a bunch of different tests. Can you post here what the test was that you had? There are several that should all be run, and of course as notme said, a biopsy is considered the gold standard. But you have to make sure you have a good doctor! Some of them only take one or two samples and they miss the damaged part.

    Mary88, how do you do with those clear plastic bottles that individual servings of water comes in? I ask because one night I was going to a restaurant for music and I was afraid to even get a beverage. Of course soda is sweetened with corn syrup, and even the iced tea was off limits due to the corn starch they use in tea bags. So I bought myself a bottle...

    It would depend on one's sensitivity, I would think. Most of the corn websites deal with true allergies but there are quite a few members with intolerances like ours. As for me, I am MUCH more sensitive to corn than I am to gluten. I won't touch iodized salt. I have some Morton salt here at the shop which is non-iodized, and I have some sea salt at home that...

    My rhubarb is up. No buds on the irises or tuplips yet but there are some really pretty flowering weeds in my yard. (My yard is mostly weeds with a few blades of grass in between. Only people who water their lawns around here have real grass.) Anybody know what kind of weeds they might be? They grow about 4 to 7 inches tall and the flowers are in clusters...

    Ikforster, I'm sorry no one has answered you yet. But it does sound like his behavior could be gluten related. If you found relief on a gluten-free diet, you have either celiac or non-celiac gluten intolerance. I'm not sure what the stats are on NCGI, but if you have actual celiac disease, your son has a 1 in 3 chance of having it too. And you may...

    Actually, iodized salt DOES contain corn. Every website dealing with corn allergies says so. Corn is the carrier for the iodine. If they just put iodine in it without a carrier, only parts of the salt would get it. I believe they use corn starch because it also works as an anti-clumping agent. Here is just one website that shows iodized salt as an allergen...

    Sleep is the only thing that helps me when I get it. I know that is not an option right now so all I can offer is a (((HUG))). (But first, let me get my raincoat, mask, and rubber gloves on. ) Sorry. I didn't mean to laugh at your suffering. Hope you're feeling better soon.
