    Thank you. I wrote everything down on the print out. I hope to try these this next week. They sound so yummy. I am going to use Spectrum shortening in place of butter. I use the Spectrum in my choc. chip cookies. Hopefully these will turn out without the butter.

    Lynne, I have no answers, just sorrow and tears for all that you are going through. I have a tea I have to go to today, but I will try and call you before I go. Knowing how late you were up, you will probably be sleeping. LOVE and HUGS.

    Beverly, I am sorry to get off topic. But, your photo is great. You are certainly beautiful and such a nice smile.

    Hi Beverly. I will pray for you to have the strength to help you through your friends illness' and also strength to help them as much as you can. As you know, life can be much more then difficult at times. Many Hugs for you.

    What are the portions of each of the flours used? And how much xanthan gum. So far I only use mixes for my baking (except choc. chip cookies). So, I am also like Dingo Girl, I need explicit directions. And I would use an egg as I have no egg replacer.

    I hope you decide to go completely gluten-free. There is not just a little gluten-free. You might find yourself with some auto-immune diseases that you do not want, somewhere later in life. My understanding is that a small amount of gluten will require 3 to 4 weeks of recovery time in your small intestine. The diet is really not that hard, once you get...

    I am so glad that you are steadily moving forward. I always keep you all in my prayers and I thank you for always keeping us informed. Many Hugs.

    You really need to see your Mom and make sure that she is at least getting enough fluids. The last month before my diagnosis I would not let my family visit as I did not want anyone to see how bad I had become. The last 9 days I became dehydrated and then I was in terrible pain and in a fetal position. I hope she listens to you before she gets to that...

    If I get a new RX, I either email the manufactor or I call them. The problem I have had with generic is that sometimes the drug manufacture will not even answer my email. And the last generic I took was about 2 months ago and it was suppose to be gluten-free. And it certainly wasn't. It was made in India and I can only assume there was some CC. My mail...

    If you had the test done, please keep in mind that you can have a false negative, but not a false positive. Some doctors do not totally accept the blood test, even if it is positive and insist you have the biopsy done. But, that is sometimes iffy. They have to take 8 to 10 from the right areas to get a Celiac diagnosis. And there are some doctors who...

    Lets say that you want to make up a large amount of her flour to freeze so that you have some on hand at all times. The flour that says 2 parts would be 2 cups flour. The one parts would be 1 cup each. For a combined value of 4 cups. Each part is one cup. You can reduce the parts to what you are needing. I hope I did not confuse you more .

    Have you cut out ALL gluten or just wheat. Have you checked for any possible cross contamination. That means your toaster, your lipstick, condiments that have been double dipped (gluten used knife stuck in jelly, etc.), shampoos that might get in your mouth. Things of that nature. I am sure that other's will post that might have more ideas then I do....

    I understand about becoming paranoid. We as Celiacs do (I am sorry to say) have to become that way, if we want to get healthy and stay healthy. Many people on here have a saying "when in doubt, leave it out". This goes for anything that we put in our mouths. I do know how daunting it is in the beginning, but it does become a relative easy way of life...

    Your pins and needles and numbness, could be periphial neuropathy. I said could be. I got diagnosed at age 63 and so mine seems to be here for good. I have noticed that the younger people that have those symptoms find that going gluten-free, helps those problems leave. You mentioned that your Mother and sister bake. Do they use regular flour before...

    When I got diagnosed in 2/04, I had no idea what Celiac was and had to learn about it via the internet. I think it was about April of that year that I found Scott's site and signed up for his newsletter. I had scrolled down through the list on the left and saw Message Board, but since I was certainly computer illiterate, I thought it was just a chat room...

    That is certainly wonderful news Carrie. Gives hope to so many others. Thanks for sharing.

    I also wanted to welcome you to the forum. You cannot just go a little gluten-free, but must go gluten-free all the way, which means to try and not have any cross contamination. Any amount of gluten will keep your small intestine from completely healing and could impact your health in some powerful ways, further on in your life. Also, yes, after you...

    Nini, your Mother has to be a real trip. How lucky you are. OOPS - don't want to hijack this thread as Scott needs to read it.

    Welcome to the forum and thank you for sharing such a wonderful story. I am so glad that you have gotten so much better.

    ARCHIVED Ocular Rosacea?

    mouse replied to a topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    I have very dry eyes and use a RX in them twice daily. If I stop taking the drops for a couple of days, my vision gets very blurry, which I assume is because of the dry eyes. My dermatologist sent me to a neuro-optamologist because I have Celiac. I also on occasion get the floaters. But not as often since I started the drops. The drops are called Restasis...

    You guys are both NUTS. I am the slipper queen and I have to special order them as my foot is so narrow. I need the ones with no toe material as I have that extra long toe that makes shoe shopping loads of fun. And Crickets!! If I get a cricket inside it is dead. Forget about good luck. Those things will eat you out of house and home - literally....

    I don't think I can add much to what everyone else has posted. But you can have a false negative on the blood test. You can never have a false positive. Also the biopsy can be hit and miss, depending on how bad the damage is in the small intestine. Your doctor needs to take 8 tp 10 biopsies from different areas. There are some doctor's out there that...

    That was FUN. How cool. I put it under favorites so that I can do it again. I can't believe all the colors and I did not run out.
  24. mouse
    That is such great news. What a relief this has to be for you.

    As everyone stated, you can not change your genes and that is what makes you a Celiac or gluten intolerent. By being totally gluten free with no cross contamination on a regular basis, then yes, your body can heal. But, never enough to reintroduce gluten into your diet. If you ingest just a little bit of gluten, it takes your small intestine 3 to 4 weeks...
