    Thanks Claire, I was wondering a few post back , on who is doing the test. Does this have to be physician ordered? Bette

    Thanks for all the replies everybody. I kinda think Stephanie is onto something . I checked out mmmars.com and they do have 2 other candy bars Snickers Krispies and another type (can't remember what it was-it is on their website) that do have gluten in them from barley malt. So I emailed and asked if cross contamination can be an issue (are all these...

    Tiffany, Thanks for all the recipes, not only gluten free, but healthy!!! It is so easy to still be gluten free and eating a totally unhealthy diet. I am trying to push more of the raw and just whole food ingredients. But, I also have a massive sweet tooth. I loooovvved your raw brownie recipe, it is delicious!!! I ignored your part about using a food...

    Okay I am trying to figure out why I am reacting to a Snickers bar, that I snuck out of my daughters candy last night. I had 2 of the minatures, plain (not the one with the crispies). That's it , I swear , I am having a definate gluten reaction starting with the big D, this morning, stomach cramping, nauseus, brain fog, and very thirsty. Has anybody...

    High-Protein Torte Okay I must admit since it has pumpkin in this, you would think of it as more seasonal, but I like this so much I make it year round. It is a recipe that I had and was making long before going gluten free, just because it is high fiber and high protein. Who new something that taste so gooood, could be good for you too! 1 19-ounce...

    This is an awesome post. Thanks for all the research on casein and leaky gut. I am at this juncture too, but wanted some kind of validation before I remove dairy also. I waver back and forth with using Enterolabs and I see that some of you on this post have used Enterolabs and York labs and still aren't convinced about the casein intolerance. George...

    Rachel Heres a couple of links about corn syrup ,doesn't sound too healthy after you read it Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link Hope that helps Cornbread I always thought having to unbutton my pants after eating popcorn was okay (ha -ha), I honestly tried to rationalize this by believing it was all the fiber...

    I guess I am finding out the hard way too. I have Wal-marts Worcestershire sauce it does not list soy sauce as an ingredient, but it does list tamarind extract , is that also made from wheat? Cornbread, I love the beef jerkey ideal. I am getting so tired of putting( loaded up with perservatives and nitrates)deli-meats in my daughters lunch. This sounds...

    ARCHIVED Help!

    Bette replied to cinda's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    The Pam spray caught my attention. I just pulled some out to use today, it was the "All Natural- Extra Virgin Olive Oil" and was perplexed and decided not to use it because the second ingredient listed says " grain alcohol". I haven't had time to try and verify if this is gluten free or not, but grain alcohol sounds suspicious. Can anybody recall if this...

    Can you guys post a link to the thread "Wary of Dr Fine". I am so confused at this point, and was considering doing some of his test.But concerned, since A) my insurance will not cover it and his work is controversial. I have been gluten-free now going on 6 months. Not officially diagnosed, only had some elevated antigliadin antibodies, but decided...

    ARCHIVED Scoliosis

    Bette replied to deb.h.'s topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    Yeah I can relate... The only person who took my daughter's and my diagnoses seriously was my brother. My mother and her sister (the one who lost a baby to spina bifida) will not even acknowledge it. My brother got tested right away when I told him, because in the past few years, his health has been steadily declining, gall bladder removal, gerds, diabetes...

    ARCHIVED Scoliosis

    Bette replied to deb.h.'s topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    Yep, I have scoliosis too. It was not diagnosed until my late twenties. I could never figure out , why all my shirts would slide more to one shoulder!! Mine is just mild, but I also have chronic upper back and shoulder pain, that the doctors say is from my fibromyalgia. Maybe there is a connection there. Even though this is not the same thing, my Aunt...

    Rachel, I would not be too concerned, that actually sounds like a normal bm. At least according to my daughters GI. She was treated for 3 years (prior to findind out about celiac) for severe constipation and impactions. We had to meet with the nurse monthly for literally toilet retraining. She was put on daily doses of Mirlax (rx drug for chronic constipation...

    Okay , I was just reminded today by running into a store and seeing the isle full of Halloween products already, that it is just around the corner. How do you handle this holiday for your kids. Whether you allow your kids to go trick or treating or go to a party, there is going to be a lot of candy to sift through. What do you do? Does anybody have...

    ARCHIVED Nasal Polyps

    Bette replied to Jnkmnky's topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    Jnkmnky, I just wanted to say good luck with the sweat choloride test and try not to worry that much, thinking it is cystic fibrosis. My daughter (11) just had it done less than 2 weeks ago. Just this past summer as her GI was evaluating whether or not she has celiac, her ENT doctor,who was evaluting her at the same time,was shocked at the tissue damage...

    Thanks Tiffany!!!! These sound so good, I also got the ideal of trying to make them after trying one of the trader joe bars at $1.48 per bar. Then came across your post when I was searching for something else. Thanks for posting the recipe Now I need to go check out those other recipes you posted !!! Bette
  19. Bette
    I saw a previous post where (Tiffany) had made reference that she brings -* "raw" brownies (pureed dates, almonds, water, cocoa powder). This sounds really good and very nutritious. Tiffany or anybody else please share this recipe Bette
  20. Bette
    First of all ,if you don't plan on using them fairly quickly, make sure and stick them in the freezer. I put my in the freezer right away, as I have heard people complain that the gluten free breads, pasta, etc. mold rather quickly. Just make sure and thaw it out before baking. Preheat oven to 350 while that is heating up, top your crust with pizza sauce...

    Regarding the Arrowhead Mills Buckwheat flour: I contacted Arrowhead Mills and this was their response : Thank you for taking the time to contact us regarding our Buckwheat Flour. We strive to maintain the highest quality products and appreciate your patronage. The Buckwheat flour is wheat and gluten free. The items which bear the label...

    That sounds awesome!!! I will have to look into that for my daughters birthday. How was the staff? When you requested an ice cream cake with no cake in it? Do you think they thought you were from mars or something And another strange question : Did the shape of the cake hold up, or did it turn into one big ice cream blob? Just curious, I was thinking...

    Hey fellow Las Vegan!!! I am fairly new to all this but please give a shout out when you plan on having a meeting or get together. bboophsd@earthlink.net Bette
  24. Bette
    Yeah Rachel, I have to agree, depending on what brand, as I found out it can be contaminated with other flours, unless it is a100 percent dedicated line. I loved the pancakes, so if you come across a buckwheat flour without the risk of cross contamination let me know Bette
  25. Bette
    Yeah I just recently had a problem with buckwheat see : Open Original Shared Link At this point I am not sure if I am sensitive to buckwheat or the Arrowhead Mills flour is contaminated??? Since it affected both me and my daughter I think the flour might be cross contaminated.
