    I do love quinoa! I cook mine in water flavored with chicken boullion, with butter.

    I have made three attemps of an anwser...after I read the replies. Funny, but "notme" has the answer and much more.

    Applebee's is the most unaware chain of restaurants that I am aware of, regarding serving a gluten intolernant patron. The management is clueless, the wait staff is clue less and I can't imagine the kitchen This is based on my local restaurant and a few others that I have had no option, but to attemp a carefull meal....and never with success. Unfortunately...

    This is true! I can assume that you daughter is currently gluten free. The old school instruction was a gluten challenge of 12 weeks. Forturnatly, two to three week appear to be the current norm, with a cracker or two. But, if your daughter gets so sick on gluten, you must find a doctor who will diagnose her based on those findings. There is no need...

    Hi Kadee and welcome. Testing can be very illusive, thus, it takes an average of 11 years for a proper diagnosis. Blood test, endoscopy exam and a positive dietary response can all determine a diagnosis. Were biopsies taken during your endo exam? If so, it might indicate a diagnosis. I would suggest you begin a full gluten free diet (assuming all...

    This is the full blood panel that you should have been tested for: Anti-Gliadin (AGA) IgA Anti-Gliadin (AGA) IgG Anti-Endomysial (EMA) IgA Anti-Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA Deamidated Gliadin Peptide (DGP) IgA and IgG Total Serum IgA If not, perhaps you should try the diet for several months to see if it offers you more comfort. A positive...

    Not, a gluten free worry from me.

    No...never a worry for me.

    I agree 100%...and I do enjoy McD's french fries and hashbrowns from time to time, with pleasure. (bold is mine) With that said...perhaps you could pack your child a full lunch to eat at McD's and allow him to get a milkshake or a sunday.

    You made it though a social night, with many hidden burdens, and you MADE IT.! Every day will be better, step by step. We can walk you though your travels with Celiac and it's not as nearly daunting as the road you have already faced. I can assure you of that!

    You need to turn the can around and read the lables. Recipes change all the time and they only way to survive a gluten free diet, is to learn to read lables. Look for wheat, barley or rye on the ingredient listing,or allergen warning. Products with simple ingredients are easy to figure out. Just beans in a can and just beans.....we love garbonzo...

    As many of us have experienced an endoscsopy exam, I can say it's not a big deal at all. Went to sleep for 15 minutes, woke up and drove home (had a driver) and got a good day's sleep. It also can indicate the level of damage due to Celiac and may be instrumental in time of recovery. In my optionion and MRI will not be significant regarding Celaic Disease...

    Perhaps so and but disappointing. I ate there yesterday, because it was a choice of friends. And as mentioned in other threads of late, it's not the food, but the fellowship. I ate and enjoyed my time. And although the options are very slim, they are suitable for business people or guest to have a meal with friends or family. Olive Garden may not be...

    The best think they could do on the Hoda and Kathy Lee Show is to have Joy Baurer on the show, from the Today Show. As in the past, she truly knows her stuff and is knowledgable and very much aware of the current issues with Celiac Disease, diet and marketing. I corresponded with her about a year or so ago on a segment she did....to follow up on the...

    Welcome...now what does you diet consist of? And what is the reason for such a restrictive diet? (If you have posted this previously, I appologize for the query) ...i.e. what boat are you in.
  20. Lisa
    Never been a problem with me, but always check the ingedient listing. Hanover, is generally cheaper and they are a "full listing" company. Of course "beans" can consist of may different ingredients as in chilli beans or flavored beans.

    Hello and welcome! If you have been gluten light for some time, I would think it would be reasonable that two-three week on a full gluten diet would be appropriate for testing. A three month challege is no longer the norm....lucky you! I would suggest that you eliminate one food at a time, begining with gluten/dairy. And add back diary after several...

    Well, I guess Laura has not been back since her first post on 3-20-13

    Umm.....it's me again.... It's so great to celebrate a life, rather than the loss. Time will heal and the memories will eventually find a smile. (is everything spelled correctly, or she will find me )
  24. Lisa
    Yes! please consult with your doctor. Iron is vey hard to digest, for adults ....much less baby children.!!! She may have allergies at 3 months, but Celiac is only on issue when gluten is introduced. At three months, your daughter should still be on formula. Who diagnosed her?
  25. Lisa
    Yes, I. And I believe it's common. And when I get glutened, I get digestive issues in both directions.
