    Are you on probiotics and digestive enzymes? They help me tremendously. I think digestive enzymes help more with C.

    I second the LL Bean suggestion. Land's End may have them too.

    Well, crap....

    You can learn more about a low iodine diet by googling "thyca". It's a website with info for people about to undergo thyroid irradiation, and they must limit iodine. In the grand scheme of things, pulling down iodine levels for a few weeks is not a big deal. if you're nervous, consult a pediatrician. I would be equally concerned about the mental effects...

    Oh yeah. The witching hour - 4-5 pm. By 7 I was insane.

    Have you tried antihistimines? You can buy them OTC. If you respond then it's a good hint it's an allergy.

    Have you tried natural progesterone cream?

    Yes, I was pleasantly surprised when my son liked my gluten-free pasta. But he does eat a lot of it, and you're right it isn't cheap!

    I'm so sorry. That's incredibly difficult.

    She did mention she thought it might be an organ - but I have no idea if that was because she read it or experienced it. The question is....WHY does it hurt??? And I know the testing is pointless to some but I really think in this case it would be useful. She does things for a while and then decides it doesn't solve everything and then quits. She's...

    If she had a test saying there's a problem, she'd stick to it. But without, I don't know.

    She's probably already lurking. And she doesn't have gout. I don't know if she has a gluten problem, but I know it's not gout. I know logically she's right to try it when it's easy but I know she'll want to eat every bit of Mexican food in town, too. And when I tell her those green chile enchiladas aren't gluten-free she won't care (ok, I struggled...

    While I understand cooking gluten in a classroom, I think those of you who cook it at home for others are real troopers! Around here I'm the gluten police, and very little walks through the door. And if they want it-THEY COOK IT!!! But I'm not a nice person, and everyone knows this...

    If he's dx'ed Celiac there's really no urgent need, except of you want to medicate him. There are many skin conditions associated with Celiac. Try putting a super- moisturizing lotion on 2-3x per day. Ice packs help itching, and there's a thread in the board about using Oragel to stop itching. He may be sensitive to iodone. The iodine reacts with the...

    Black eyed peas, ham and rice. With cornbread. It's good hangover food, too. I'd never get my son to eat the cabbage, and have to listen to the complaints from hubs about the gas...so I don't bother.

    We feed our dog Blue Buffalo - the grain free one. He really likes it, and at 10 1/2 is very healthy. He does have a joint issue on his neck, but that's an injury. We've never fed him "cheap" dog food but this is probably the most expensive.

    So, it came out yesterday in a phone convo that my mother is planning on a gluten-free trial (no, she hasn't been tested and is avoiding it) Christmas week when she visits us. I tried pointing out that when she eats out she'll mess it up...didn't register. She also informed me she's drinking lemon juice and it makes her back pain go away. How can...

    Another thing, keep the sores moisturized. I use Vanicream 3x a day with Vaseline on top when the sores are dry and healing. As far as how long it takes to break out, I don't know. Everyone is different. A good iodine dosing gets me in 12 hours. I don't react very much (that I know of) to ingested gluten - I don't get stomach aches, etc. It's hard to know...

    There's a chance he may be sensitive to iodone. If he is, high iodone foods will trigger the iga antibodies in his skin and he'll break out. For a list if high iodone foods, google "thyca". The iodone sensitivity should reduce as iga antibodies reduce. Some are more sensitive than others.

    3 cups rice chex 3 cups corn chex 3 cups gluten-free mini pretzel sticks 3 cups gluten-free small pretzels 2 cups mixed nuts 14 oz. semisweet chocolate 4 oz. white chocolate Mix cereal, pretzels, nuts in a large bowl. Set aside. Spread out in a thin, even layer in wax paper. In a double boiler or microwave safe bowl melt semisweet chocolate. Drizzle...

    Yep. I'd think "rashy" people are at particular risk of testing negative.

    I'm glad it worked! My dad was wanting shortbread for bourbon balls (don't ask - he hates coconut) so I was thinking I have to make some. Rolling my eyes....

    I found out a bit ago.... Makes me not regret trying to test, because I was pumped full of them at the time I went gluten-free. So that's another one that should be out on the list of why tests come out negative - steroid use.

    Funny and true. Isn't it strange how they are so easily offended????

    Hi, I'm in Tucson also! Try contacting The Southern Arizona Celiac group - they have a kids group also. Open Original Shared Link I was given the name of Dr. Moussa, Catalina Pediatrics 323-3099 as a Celiac-friendly Pediatrician. You may ask her office for a reco.
