    My first sentence above looks kinda mean! I didn't mean it to sound that way!

    Stephanie, Thanks. I'm actually not missing out on any time with him because of considering these things...I broke some toes last week and have been hobbling around the house so I'm sitting in front of the computer more too. I saw that stuff about schizophrenia and celiac disease and thought DAMN, that's a crappy thing to have and WHY is it that they...

    Well, it seems that oats provide an additional grain to the limited diet a Celiac lives on. The problem with oats for some people would be the avenin only, if cross contamination weren't an issue. Why should celiacs have a grain eliminated from their diet just because of cross contamination? That's a huge injustice. And to accept that as the reason seems...

    Here's the decision. I'm going to give them a try. My son has celiac disease, but it was caught at age 3. He's seven now. He's not had any of the multiple allergies some with celiac say they have. He eats eggs, nuts, tomatoes, rice, everything...we just eliminated dairy because I decided it was not a necessary food in our lives, but no one in the family...

    Thanks, Stephanie. I'm interested and kind of nervous at the same time. I wonder what kind of issues my son will face in his future. If I knew that schizophrenia, lupus, scleroderma *those are scary auto immune disorders!* were potentially in his future due to the celiac disease, I'd have to add that to my ways of dealing with his disease. I don't feel...

    Open Original Shared Link Well, I'm interested in trying them. I'll let you know if I do and if my son has a reaction. I want to see if anyone here or elsewhere says they've tried them and whether or not they had a reaction.

    Double check my answer, but I think alopecia is associated with celiac disease. Could you have that?

    Does anyone here eat oats? If so, what brand. I know oats are gluten free *I read it somewhere*,but that the cross contaminiation issue prevents Celiacs from using them in their diet. If oats are gluten free, it's a huge disservice to people with celiac disease to keep them from the gluten-free diet. Oats would be a GREAT addition to a gluten-free diet...

    Open Original Shared Link I've seen this before, the link between schizophrenia and Celiac but I can't find the reason why they're being linked. Does anyone here having been tested for the gene now see more of the 'related diseases' in their family? If you have celiac disease and aggavate your body, do you cause schizophrenia? Do you cause Lupus,...

    As a mom to a young celiac, I feel that my child is always on the verge of being sick. Just one stupid, I mean, *well meaning* person away from being sick. I do have a constant sense of his health being a swallow away from destroyed. No one's actually ever succeeded in making him sick, but I've been so vigilant that it would be a monumental task to get...

    We're not casein intolerant that I know of, but since posting here we've decided to go dairy free. We've got Pacific rice milk *almond and hazelnut flavored, and Lundberg farms drink rice *vanilla and original flavors. I'm using olive oil and pam. We had tacos without cheese, made Chebe without cheese. I've been gluten free before in my life for 4 months...

    Open Original Shared Link Here are recipes that include dinners. I love the vegetable stir fry idea and it sounds good on chicken cooked with apples...

    Open Original Shared Link Here's a site that explains the glycemic index for mesquite flour. They claim it's low and therefore good for diabetics. I'm really into this. Anyone else intrigued? If it's got this nutty, spicey flavor, it must be a great addition to Thanksgiving meals. I just ordered some from Casa de Fruta. When I make apple pancakes...

    A friend of mine just told me about Mesquite flour. I've never heard of it before and don't believe I've tried any foods with it in it. Is anyone here familiar with it? Bake with it? It sounds to me like it would spice up gluten free apple pancakes? Maybe pumkin spice breads/cakes/muffins/pancakes? Is it easy to work with?

    About suppliments...I've never used them for any of my children. I believe a varied diet, with all the healthy fruits, veggies, proteins, etc is enough. So far, I've been proven right. We moved last year and got a new dr. She decided my son's celiac warranted testing for vitamins, iron, blah blah blah blood test. So I decided she may have a point and...

    www.kinnikinnick.com has the tapioca white bread. They also have brown rice breads for more whole grain goodness. Both are moist and chewy, not dry and crumbly. I lightly toast my son's bread because he is 7 and has loose teeth. He has no problem eating it and I use it and like it and I'm a bread addict.

    Open Original Shared Link Kaiti- Here is a link that I thought was balanced. This was the last site I looked at when I decided the risks were real enough for me to avoid soy. I went through my pantry and found soy in practically everything. Actually removing soy from my pantry was more difficult than removing gluten.

    "As little as a 5- to 8-ounce serving of soy milk a day has been proven to suppress thyroid function," says soy researcher and nutritionist Michael Fitzpatrick. Drs. Daniel Sheehan and Daniel Doerge, former senior researchers at the Food and Drug Administration, have strongly opposed the soy industry's proclamation that this humble bean is king. In a 199...

    Open Original Shared Link Kaiti, What parts of that soy link were inaccurate? Here's a more mainstream link from the NY Daily News. I did google Benefits of Soy, btw.... I didn't see much to persuade me to consume it. I would like to find some info to refute the negative info I've been reading. Are the dangers in the links I posted exaggerated? ...

    Boysmom, I've tested neg for celiac disease, but believe I'm gluten sensitive. I do FAR better on a low/no gluten diet. I was dx with endometriosis after a year and half of excruicationg pain. I went gluten-free and the pain stopped within two weeks. No pain. zero. I recommend the book "Dangerous Grains" as it helps to more clearly define gluten sensitivity...

    Open Original Shared Link If you have thyroid problems, do you avoid soy? I've recently gone dairy free and thougth I would use soy instead. I bought the soy milk THEN looked on line for confirmation that this was the best alternative to dairy. I was surprised to find endless information on the web about the dangers of soy. Just google "dangers of...
