ARCHIVED Dismissed By Doctor
Claire replied to megsylvan2's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
You could always make cookies or something with regular flour and substitute for the eggs. There are many substitues. Here are some: 2 eggs - Use 1/2 cup soft silken tofu. Ener-G Egg Replacer - follow directions on box. 2 Tbsp corn starch = 1 egg 2 Tbsp arrowroot flour = 1 egg 2 Tbsp potato starch = 1 egg 1 heaping Tbsp soy powder + 2... -

ARCHIVED What's About Jello?
Claire posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I know everyone says Jello is gluten free but the label says artificial flavoring. Isn't that likely to be in a grain based alcohol? Claire -
ARCHIVED Diagnosis.....
Claire replied to slpinsd's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Reply to slpinsd: Big D for me too ever since day four of treatment. Intermittent cramping and enough queasiness so I can't face food. I have lost roughly a pound a day since last Friday. I won't be done until Sunday. If you think you still have it, you better get rid of it. It causes ulcers and stomach cancer. Claire -
Even the younger generation are sold on 'dcotor knows best' and will not be proactive in their own behalf. My daughter told me she thought it was 'embarrasing' that I would presume to tell a doctor what tests I wanted. If I needed a specific test the doctor would order it - that I was being rude and arrogant. This daughter's health issues are far more...

ARCHIVED Almost Ice Cream
Claire replied to Claire's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I don't know where you are but Whole Foods in the Washington, DC area, Maryland and PA all carry it. MacCaffety's markets in PA also. to Judy in Philly - My carton of coconut sorbet has no soy listed in the ingredients. It may be that it is in some flavors and not others. I am checking the company again. They have been prompt to answer. Claire -
Leaky gut and intestinal pereambilty are the same thing. The wall of the intestine become permeabile - i.e. small particles of undigested protein can get through. These then enter the blood stream where the immune system sees them as a foreign entity that shouldn't be there - and attacks. This is essentially the nature of Type II food allergies. It doesn...

ARCHIVED Cancer Survivor- Now Facing Possible Dx Of Celiac....
Claire replied to BeccaM's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
A gluten free diet is the healthiest you will find - even healthier if you avoid the very expensive junk gluten free foods that tempt those who can't quite part with the chocolate covered donuts and cakes etc. Go gluten-free. You won't reget it. What is the worst thing that can happen. You will feel better. If you intend to be tested for celiac get... -
ARCHIVED Are The Lights Dim, Or Is It Just Me?
Claire replied to Robix's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Gluten can do damage to the purkinje cells - these are found in the cerebellum and also in the eyes - particularly in the retina (as I understand it). Check with your eye doctor or better still with a retinal specialist. Claire -
ARCHIVED Negative Blood And Entero Lab Results?
Claire replied to erin24's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
May I suggest that if you get the Enterolab test you get the one that includes non-celiac gluten sensitivity. Claire -
ARCHIVED Help! More Weight Loss
Claire replied to chrissy's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
If she can have dairy give her gingerale and light cream to drink - once or twice a day. It is an old remedy that came from a doctor back when doctors didn't always reach for the prescription pad. My frail aunt was given this and though she stayed thin she weighed about 90 pounds - compared to the 75 pounds that she was before. Claire -
ARCHIVED Other Food Allergies/intolerances Or Minor Glutening?
Claire replied to a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I am not sure if I am adding to mrsnj91's post or disagreeing. I have been dealing with food intolerance - ie. Type II Delayed Food Reactions for 25 years - diangosed 15 years ago. Type I Food reactions - like the swelling of the tongue or throat etc. are quite different than Delayed Food reactions. The former can be life threatening, the latter can be... -
ARCHIVED Diagnosis.....
Claire replied to slpinsd's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I am currently being treated for h.pylori in the stomach lining. Were you retested after your treatment. If not you need to be as pylori is very resistant. There is a urea breath test and a blood test to confirm that the meds actually got it all. Did you lose weight? How did you tolerate the treatment?. I am not tolerating it well at all. Stomach cramps... -
ARCHIVED What Lipstick Do You Use?
Claire replied to floridanative's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I use Burt's Bees lip balm (colored) and also their lipstick. I find the lipstick dry but wuite long lasting. I usually put a little of the lipbalm on first and then the lipstick. I have dry skin so I use the lip balm a lot. Claire -
I worked for years in the health care 'industry' and have relatives currently active in this area. It only grows worse. The decline has been driven by many things: doctors educated to treat rather than to diagnose and seek causes; a big PHARma that pushes pills for profit and encourages those same half educated doctors to do likewise; insurance companies...

I know all about wanting a diagnosis. After awhile people around you begin to think you are at least imagining things, over-reacting or are just a hypochondriac . I have been many years fighting the hopelessly incompetent medical world. Every conclusive test I ever had for anything I requested myself (former Rehab Therapist). I know I have multiple...

ARCHIVED How Do You Cope With Multiple Food Intolerances?
Claire replied to covsooze's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Food intolerances as well as gluten get a raw deal. As bad as these may be they are not singularly responsible for everything. There are many foods that are tough to digest - for almost everyone. Broccoli is one of them. While some foods bother a lot of people there are some that bother only a few. This is not a serious problem, not a bona fide intolerance... -
ARCHIVED Speech Problems - Following Through With Sentences
Claire replied to Lisa's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Please consider CoQ10 - a natural occuring enzyme. It was a miracle for me - it took a few weeks to notice improvement and about two months to really enjoy the results. It is not cheap but both Swanson and Vitacost have it aat reasonable price. Claire -
