  1. Hello and Welcome! We have many members here with diagnosed children. We have lots of members who have diagnoses children. Here is the parents forum, which you might find helpful: https://www.celiac.com/forums/forum/10-celiac-disease-parents-of-kids-or-babies-with-celiac-disease/
  2. Welcome to the Club! As Roda said, biopsy trumps blood work.
  3. I would suggest you question your doctor more about the reason she would like you to begin the diet. It might make a large difference in how compliant you need to be with the diet. The gluten free diet is a lifestyle change. I would want a good reason to enforce/support my motivation.
  4. Here are some contacts who can point you in the right direction: Los Angeles is the home base for the Celiac Disease Foundation - You're lucky! Open Original Shared Link (check out the Support Group Selection)
  5. Welcome Kitt! Does you doctor suspect that you have Celiac Disease? If so, you should be tested prior to beginning the diet. Otherwise, your results may not be accurate. Whether you need to be 100% gluten free depends on the reason your doctors is suggesting the diet. I do know that oh so often Celiac is diagnosed as a secondary issue....and then...
  6. I would get a full body blood panel and it would indicate where you need to show your interest.
  7. If you comply well with the diet...there is always enough cross contamination exposure to give you your minimal exposure. I would not invite defined gluten into your life. OOOOPS...did someone say WELCOME! A great place you have found!
  8. Hello and Welcome...you've found the right place! Here are some answers to questions you might have: Open Original Shared Link Please do not go gluten free until you have satisfied your testing. Gluten needs to be in your system for accuracy in testing. This is a great place....take a walk around.
  9. ...just came across this while looking for information on hydrolyzed wheat protein....thought it was interesting.
  10. Open Original Shared Link
  11. I have posted references in the past and it might take some time for me to find them. It's hard to keep up with science and I know that many references are not up to date, or up-dated currently. Until I find them...it's my understanding that during the hydrolyze(ing) process, the offending protein is separated and removed. Rendering it basically gluten...
  12. Hydrolyzed (anything) protein is so processed that any offending protein would not survive.
  13. I would think there is no need to worry. Wine is not subject to gluten.
  14. Let them eat it all, throw up and then it's over. Happy Easter!
  15. I must add that this is not my list, just posted it. Lists become outdated quickly, so please back up your selection with reading the labels.
  16. Learn suffin' every day - had to Google nettles. The only nettles I know about are swimming in the sea. What do they taste like?
  17. Chicken Marsala for us tonight (dusted in Bob's Red Mill Flour Mix). Server over rice and spring asparagus. Going to the beach to the In-Laws for Easter Dinner/Lunch. Bringing Blazing Saddle Stew. It's a classic and remind me to post the recipe. Happy Holiday to Everyone!!!!
  18. We usually marinade a good quality steak in La Choy Teriyaki, Italian dressing and some garlic, in the am. Grill or pan fry for dinner. Just bought some San-J Teriyaki stir-fry and Marinade (new to me and marked Gluten Free). Going to give it a try. It's easy to make your own: Italian dressing Honey La Choy Soy Sauce Dry Mustard Ginger...
  19. I did not bother to look up opiods or casamorphins, but I rather suspect that we are now more sensitive to genetically altered wheat. I have a friend that has Celiac and she was able to eat hand made bread in Kathmandu, where there is no "Monsanto" and bread is prepared as it has for a thousand years. I'm a firm believer that our bodies have not...
  20. Do you have the label? Any wheat would be required to be listed and it's unlikely to contain other forms of gluten. I never saw a ham that contained gluten. The accompanying glaze packet may.
  21. Have you had any allergy testing? Oh...and welcome!
  22. In the past years, members here have used Kraft Mac & Cheese...pitch the macaroni in the box and just use the cheese sauce, with gluten free pasta. ...but it's easy to make a cheese sauce.
  23. No...not me. But, I asked to read the label of the oil it's popped in and did not see an issue. You could inquire the same. When I order the medium with butter, I don't feel so well after.....but it sure is good goin' down. (probably not gluten related)
