Can anyone tell me if you have found a good substitute for the 'baking mix' called for in so many recipes - especially the impossible pies. Thank, Claire

I haven't been here much for awhile - just terribly busy. Haven't forgotten you all. You might want to check this out.

ARCHIVED Fda Warning For Adhd Drugs
Claire replied to Ursa Major's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
For VydorScope - What is the source of your information that ADHD can be proven with a brain scan? Having encountered any number of children and adults with this 'diagnosis' I have yet to see anyone who has been 'tested'. The diagnosis is generally subjective - based on behavorial manifestations. I would appreciate you sharing the source of your... -
ARCHIVED Darifree Chocloate Ice Cream
Claire replied to VydorScope's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
For those, like me. who are not into making their own ice cream, do try Sharon's Sorbet. This is not at all Sorbet as you probably think of it - icy. It is smooth, creamy and comes in many flavors. All are diary free, gluten free and soy free (except the coconut which has soy). Available at Trader Joe's and Whole Foods. Also available online but more... -
ARCHIVED First Cause Of Autoimmunity?
Claire replied to SurreyGirl's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I am not going to respond to this in general - rather specifically to this statement - "colloidal silver (scary)" What in the world is scary about colloidal silver? This statement is begging research. Silver has been used medicinally for centures - in one form or another. Before the introduction of antibiotics (not a great day in history) silver nitrate... -
There has been a lot of {off and on} discussion on this forum about the causes of Intestinal Permeability. I came across this and thought I would add it to the discussion. Parasites also cause damage to the lining of the digestive tract. This damage, or increased permeability, can allow large molecules to enter the blood stream and lymphatic system...

ARCHIVED Is There Are Any Any Bath Soaks For The Raging Itch?
Claire replied to a topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis
Some things to try: Baking soda in warm bath water. At least one half cup. For topical application: spray Solarcane. Works quickly and lasts for quite awhile. Also Ivy Dry - cream or lotion Also - Band Aid Itch Relief Gel Spritz (can find this at Wal-Mart) Hope something here helps. I know just how it is. Claire -

ARCHIVED Dizziness
Claire replied to hapi2bgf's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Benign positional vertigo IS a very common cause of dizziness but is only one of literally hundreds of possibilities. I have lived with this problem for many years - not only dizziness but also a nebulous, wavy sensation in my head that was almost constantly present. My head had not felt 'right' for more than 20 years. I went gluten-free in August (had... -

This is a good article to print and share with family and friends who don't understand Celiac. I have chosen to post only title and URL rather than put in the whole article - seems unnecessary to post it all. Claire GOING GLUTEN FREE Open Original Shared Link

I am already gluten-free - since last August. 90% gluten-free from 2990 - when I was diagnosed with intolerance for wheat, barley and rye. No mention of gluten at that time. I am complex food issues - Type II delayed food reactions that cause me endless problems. Everyone -sick or well - needs a family doctor - even a 'bad' one - otherwise you are...

ARCHIVED Anyone In Central Pa Know Of Knowledgable Doctors?
Claire replied to frustratedneicey's topic in Doctors
I live in south central PA. My experiences have been so so bad that I have to suggest (in jest of course) that you would be better off trying the local vet. The horses and cows around here get better treatment than we seem to be able to get from our regular doctos. If they are not hopelessly ignorant then they are hopeless arrogant - sometimes both. ... -
Now to the rant: I recently decided to change doctors. A lady Korean doctor was recommended to me by several people. I called and asked if she was taking new patients and was told that she was. I was given an appointment date and I told them that my records would be forwarded. I signed a release at my current doctor's office for my records to be transferred...

ARCHIVED I Want To Quit The Diet
Claire replied to againstthegrain's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I think we should look at all our decisions the way we shop for food. clothes or cars. Most of us are influenced more than a little by the price. Every decision, like every purchase, comes with a price. All you have to do is to consider if you can 'afford' it. If it is a one time splurge expense, you probably will recover from it. If it is a big ticket... -
ARCHIVED Stupid Question
Claire replied to Mo92109's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I have had many years experience with for intolerance and 'testing'. Tests done by an allergist - i.e. patches and skin pricks are useless in this regard. They are quite accurate for environmental allergiess and may even pick up on absolute good allergies - of the peanut variety. They will not find the intolerances. Claire -
I would like to have input on the subject of parasites - large and small. What you have had. What tests were given. Doctor ordered or not? Symptom? Treatment? Effects of treatment? Were you retested? In other words, please tell me your wormy story. Thanks Claire
