    Mushroom is right about the having to stay on gluten for an accurate test. I know it's a hard discussion to indulge or not, but one you may have to decide on soon before this summer to be tested. If you decide to be gluten-free while @ school try and eat only whole foods. A good go to snack is corn tortilla chips, potato chips, salsa's, or try a great...

    I was using Bob's rice flour but found King Arthur all purpose much better not as grainy. I use gingersnap cookies for sauerbraten.

    I've been offered progressive many times (they also cost 4 x's as much), I stick with the bifocal. I have a pair for the computer at work and also my everyday. Since your only wearing them over your contacts you may want to buy a cheaper frame. Also I don't know your particulars but if you have no insurance and are not married you maybe eligible under...

    The Costco by me uses Hebrew National hot dogs which they sell in bulk. They are wheat and gluten free. Keep in mind thought that the people behind the count wear gloves which they do not change frequently, they also handle hot dog rolls, pizza, hero rolls, etc.

Thought maybe I had beer Fri and Sat and ate out Saturday night(restaurant always accommodating with my gluten-free). Monday and still today have had severe bathroom issues, yesterday and today bad stomach...

    I was going to suggest ask Irish Heart. See she already replied. I'm using ones I buy @ my Dr's office along with an Aloe drink. I was uncertain of what I was using and Irish Heart researched what I was using as a go. I fell so much better on the Probiotics and Aloe. It really has settled my stomach and less abdominal and gas issues. They really work...

    I never thought I was super sensitive, till I got bit and HARD and I only figured it out today. I had crappy stomach Fri, Sat, Sun, bathroom issues since Monday, to top it off my stomach feels like it did before being diagnosed. What is it they changed the lab on my blood pressure medication, which I started a new bottle last week. I called the MD and...

    Mom - trust your gut and have his blood work done or what ever you feel is necessary to keep your peace of mind and what you deem necessary for your child's happiness and health. You mention you can have a referral to a pediatric GI do it, it's only a blood test and they can run all the normal blood work along w/ the Celiac blood tests. You mention your...

    UGH... If you are Celiac, and diagnosed A.D.D. and you are on Wellrutrin? You sir need to check out a meeting group, it's called AA. The alcohol and your medication don't mix, you are mixing a deadly cocktail. I hope you find peace and the help you need.

    This may be long, but trust me when you find the right Dr you're life will change. You need a NEW Dr. Sounds like she has no clue. After 3 years with my GI and finally being diagnosed I switched GI's, first she was a be-itch, second "you have Celiac go on a gluten-free diet". I went to my GP the next day and she is more educated then my GI, put me...

    Feel better Meg, it does get better with time. In a few months you'll look back on this time and it will be just a memory. You will feel better, look better and have a better outlook. Please try and keep yourself hydrated and eat several little meals during the day. I know with your work, school and homework schedule your stressed as it is. Take care...

    Try the whole foods and leave out the processed ones. Also can tuna contains broth, was the mayo cross contaminated? You never know what is in that broth the only safe broth is the ones labeled gluten free and trust me the tuna can does not say gluten-free. Hope you find what bit you.

    Happy Valentine Day all. Filet Mignon w/ Brandy Mushroom sauce, herb butter lobster tail, green bean w/ shallots, baby greens w/ cranberries, glazed walnuts goat cheese and raspberry dressing. Best part of the meal Tiramisu made w/ Schar gluten-free ladyfingers. OMG the ladyfingers held up, not mushy. Dessert was awesome. Hope you all had an enjoyable...

    What day of the week do you go to the Market? Is Friday your run around to several different stores? Does your market have a bakery in it? Hope you find out what bothering you.

    Could also have IBS. I don't but it's always to check with the GI. Find a new GI. Even after a few months gluten-free I still had a terrible lower left pain, GI said it was spasm. Stomach always had an ache and gnawing and bm's were always hit and miss very gassy (don't mean to be gross but more like ready whip) every couple of days. My PCP put me on...

    Kinnikinnik Gramham Crackers are great they hold up well as a crust for Cheesecake (use less butter in the mixture). If you need a good pie crust and you have a Whole Foods near by. They are wonderful. Flaky and buttery, have only use for Quiche. They are not doughy, I have cooked on the lower shelf half the time and then moved up the other half. Have...

    I opened them today and made with pulled pork OMG they are amazing. I've had them for about 2 weeks and just opened today, they are soft not chewy and not overly dense like most gluten-free breads. They have a long shelf life, but try and use within 2 weeks. Finally a bread just like a good gluten hamburger roll. They have the texture of a store brand hamburger...

    A quick 1/2 hour soup and freezes well. I use corn pasta and cook very al dente, otherwise it will mushup when you reheat. Spinach, Celery, Sausage and Pasta Soup 16 oz sausage links ( I use chicken sausage) 6 Cups chicken stock (Kitchen Basics gluten-free) I use low sodium 2 - 14 oz diced tomatoes with basil, garlic and oregano 2 - Cups thinly sliced...

    I make my own always have, I can control the sodium that way. If you have the time you can whip up a pot or two on the weekend and freeze individual servings. Just had minestrone for lunch today. I've always used the tiny shells for pasta when I needed pasta. Try the corn pasta (if you can have corn)they hold up better then rice.

    I've made my own Thai twice after being diagnosed, found a gluten-free soy and now use Tamari. We found a new Thai place (my old one wasn't to receptive to gluten-free and didn't understand what I was asking), the new place knows what I can have and can't have, on the receipt my item is in English and Thai so the cook doesn't mess it up. They use NO Soy...
