Thank you Ruth. I wish she could have stayed on the medication. I am happy it worked for you. We were hoping for remission when we were first told about the methimazole but even then we were told it was uncommon. You are very fortunate. Thanks for your kind thoughts.

My 4 year old was diagonsed with Graves disease a couple of weeks ago. We tried the methimazole but it made her really sick! She is having her thyroid removed this week to get her under control. Her thyroid levels are very high and her resting heartbeat was 130+. I would definately try the medication first but know that not everyone can tolerate it. I don...

I have yet to try it but this looks really good!! 1/2 lb crabmeat 1/2 cup pecans, ground in food processor 1 tbsp fresh chives 2 tbsp sour cream 2 tbsp macadamia nut oil 6 large shallots, sliced 16 leaves flat leaf parsley salt to taste --Combine crabmeat, 1/4 c pecans, salt, chives and sour cream in bowl and blend --Heat oil in skillet and...

Clan Thompson's recent update included the no sugar ones along with the chocolate malt... .

The only powder with gluten are chocolate malt and no sugar ones. The ready mixed strawberry has barley extract, the others I think are ok.

The baked potatoes and sour cream are fine. I eat them often. Check that they don't use flour to stop cheese from clumping before you add cheese to it. I worry about cc with the other things.

I like lubriderm lotion, Paul Mitchell intense daily moisture shampoo and conditioner, Dove hair care and skin lotions...there are a few exceptions but gluten will not be hidden so just read the label, Garnier Fructis has been reported to be gluten-free but I don't use them. Dove bodywash is a good replacement for shaving cream . Vaseline is gluten-free...

I had my gallbladder removed and have none of those troubles. Sounds more like a bowel problem....whether it is celiac or something else. I would definately encourage him to see a doctor. The skin rashes could be DH. It usually looks like little blisters that are very itchy. I can tell I am getting one before I can see it. Good Luck and I hope he gets...

A bag of shredded simply potatoes topped with a stick of butter is a really good crust. Put the potatoes in a deep dish, cover with melted butter and bake for 20 nminutes. Then add egg mixture and bake until done.

check GNC's website. They will tell you if any product they sell is gluten-free.

Go ahead and indulge Caramel Fraps are gluten-free. However you do need to be careful. Some Starbucks make a brownie or cookie mixed drink. Always ask and if they do ask for a clean mixer.

Coke and Pepsi products are OK. I have never heard of a ground coffee that has gluten. Be careful of specialty coffee houses as some of thier mixed coffees have gluten added. Most Starbucks drinks are gluten-free. The same goes for tea. The lipton tea bags are fine as most are. Be careful of exotic teas. It does get easier with time to figure out this...

It's made by Kraft and it is in a green shaker tube. It is hard to find though. The only place I have found it is in Walmart. It is the same cheese they put in their macaronni and cheese box dinners.

Some of my daughters favorites are: Fruit, celery and carrot sticks with Ranch dressing, dry cocoa pebbles, yogurt, cheese cubes, envirokids granola bars, cheetos, marshmellows, canned mandarin oranges,applesauce, jello pudding, ener-g pretzels if you can find them at WF, Reeses peanut butter cups, popsicles, dreyers ice cream, and nuts. There are lots...
