ARCHIVED How Long Until Ttg Down, When Gluten-Light?
justlisa replied to Mom-of-Two's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
1974, The great thing is.. whatever happens...your eyes are "open" now...you'll be watching... I agree about some parents...my SIL is one of them. My nephew was dx as T1DM (type 1 diabetes) about 10 years ago...it's been a DISASTER. She is just one of those people who has to have "easy"... Sadly, she's raised him to, pretty much, "eat what he wants" and... -

ARCHIVED 1 Wk. Gluten-Free: Lack Of Appetite Normal?
justlisa replied to heathenly's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Btw, I don't have the same appetite, either. I attribute it, mostly, to the healthier, whole foods that comprise my diet. I do want to ask, though...what's your state of mind? Emotions? Are you grappling with melancholy, depression, etc? -

ARCHIVED How Long Until Ttg Down, When Gluten-Light?
justlisa replied to Mom-of-Two's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I don't think you're nuts...and it's not difficult to be nice to someone who is nice, too. As for your question... I don't take all negative test results at face value... In fact, I harassed my doctor for ongoing, repeat Lyme testing early on (when they couldn't 'find the answer' to my many symptoms)... I, finally, ruled it out because it didn't fit... -

ARCHIVED Can Gluten Cause Ms And Other Autoimmune Disorders?
justlisa replied to TomC's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Just be grateful there are 2...some families not so lucky... And, I agree about your niece! Then again, I don't understand the lack of willpower...especially when you're sick...or are likely to become sick. Nor do I "get" the omg-I-can't-eat-whatever-I-want-life-is-not-worth-living. mentality either... So many people, with no hope, for themselves... -

1974... We all make the choices that are best for us and our children...as should be... I happen to disagree with you....but, that's okay, too. I'd really like to ask you something, though... You don't have faith in the positive result, but you do in the negative? Just curious... Also, after all the personal stories you've read, on here...TONS... -
ARCHIVED Skewed Test Results?
justlisa replied to J123-123's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Yes... coffee-free is a bigger challenge than gluten-free...for me anyway! As for the OP's question... The fact that many, many people get negative results on bloodwork AND endo...but actually have celiac/NCGI was the very first thing I learned when researching this... So, it would seem plausible, to me, that you could have tested negative after... -

June... Yay...happy for you! I've gotten all the ingredients and hardware...tomorrow is baking day! I've got 4 recipes I'm going to try (my 1st attempts)... The offspring is leaving on Sunday for a week on the cape... I'm hoping to be able to make him a few things when he comes back... -

ARCHIVED Losing Hope...
justlisa replied to kswan08's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
You know what? People like Irish are the reason I keep coming back here.. I've read through this thread 3 times thinking I'd missed something. Good grief...every bit of advice/opinion she gave was done well... I have to say this... I'm a grown woman and it's getting old the "walking on eggshells" that has to take place in here. And, you're probably... -
ARCHIVED Do I Have A Closing Window Of Opportunity To Lose Weight?
justlisa replied to nvsmom's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Nay nay... I noticed a huge difference in my stomach region within the first week. More of "feeling", really...my stomach felt lighter, less "dense" (if that makes sense)...hard to explain... But let's just say that I don't remember ever feeling this way...ever... just less "pressure"... Even at times of being "skinny" I didn't feel like this.. it... -

Sa1937... I was told by the royal offspring, "just 'stuff', mom...there's no food...(grumble)... I'm going to try a few recipes I found online (a couple in here)... Chocolate cake (made with black beans) Coconut-blueberry muffins Flat bread (easy recipe using coconut flour) -
ARCHIVED Xanthan Gum Original Source
justlisa replied to Knoppie's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I am trying to stick, primarily, to whole foods... But, in order to avoid a mutiny, I am collecting some recipes and supplies for baking... I just can't see myself putting in any of the "gums"...at least not yet...talk to me after I've had a few dozen flops, though, and I might have to re-think it (the kid's missing some of his goodies). -

I used to eat mushrooms...haven't brought them back yet though... Also, mushrooms are naturally occurring where the gums were created in a lab, right? Sa1937... Yeah, I see that...now that I'm looking...and grosses me out... -
ARCHIVED Looking For A Safe Power Bar
justlisa replied to RonSchon's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Just an idea. Could you find a recipe that might work...make your own...wrap individually...and freeze them? I've been planning to look into this option because the offspring works out every day... He hated the Larabars I bought for him to try... In fact, he said, (and I quote) "You don't really love, do you? Are you trying to kill me?". Not a better... -
