    I'm sorry, but the salad dressing thing made me laugh Seriously, who thinks to do something like that??? Can the disabled lady call your local towing company and get the car parked in her spot towed? It's illegal to park in a handicap spot, although I'm not sure how the law is enforced. Good luck, I hope they get evicted soon.

    Thank you everyone! My birthday was on a Sunday so I had a laid-back party and had my friends over for dinner and a movie. I made lasagna, garlic bread, chocolate fondue for an appetizer and brownies for dessert. All gluten-free, and all delicious!

    This is the recipe I use, too. I love it, and it works great for cheese fondue, too!

    Thanks for posting the restaurant suggestions. I'm going to be in Madison on a business trip next week and was having a mini-freakout because I didn't think any of my old favorites would have gluten-free meals. I never would have expected Nitty Gritty to have a gluten-free menu!

    Thanks, I'll pass the info on to my mum.

    No, you can't ever eat gluten again. Some people do start eating it after healing and go through a period where they don't have symptoms, but they are still doing damage. These people tend to get very, very sick again at some point in the future. If you want to be healthy, you cannot eat gluten again.

    Many foods are very easy to make or buy gluten-free once you get the brands down. I don't think anyone would have a problem if you switched all flour tortillas with corn and bought only brands of condiments that are gluten-free. I would absolutely go gluten-free with those types of foods. Where it gets harder is the breads and crackers - things that...

    I feel ok just washing my hands after feeding the fish, but dogs tend to slobber on people and food spills on the floor and they walk all over the house and sometimes on the furniture. I'd go gluten-free with the dog - search this site, I know people have asked about gluten-free dog food before.

    Gosh, I hate to hear about a kid suffering like that, too. It's practically child abuse to do that to the kid.

    Do you have a 504 plan for him? That might make some of these situations easier to deal with.

    I totally understand the moving frustrations. I moved in August and I still have days of wondering where things went. And I've only got a small one-bedroom apartment! I get all my books from the library. A majority of books I only read once so I see no reason to spend money on those. My old library had tons of gluten-free related books, and it was...

    Thanks for the reply! I'm wondering if there's some mild malnutrition going on. I'm 99.9% sure she's completely gluten-free, but she still feels sick so there might be some other gut irritation that's causing slight malnutrition. I know casein can cause villi blunting, too (she just sent away for enterolab casein testing). Would something like candida...

    I knew to start looking for another food intolerance when I started feeling sick again after ten months of feeling great being gluten-free. It was easy for me to track down - everytime I ate peanut butter I felt sick. Other food intolerances can be more of a challenge to figure out. I guess it's up to you to know the health of your kids and if you think...

    Don't have much time, but you could try toaster bags: Open Original Shared Link You could then use your old gluten toaster. Or you could toast your bread using your oven broiler.

    Yeah, it is cold. I went snowboarding in Lutsen last weekend, and it was the first time I can remember actually being really whiny and miserable about the cold and wind. Normally the cold doesn't bother me at all.

    I would absolutely go gluten-free. And be thankful that the scope came back negative - it means she hasn't had enough time to completely destroy her villi! If you have a health savings account through your health insurance, you can also use that to cover some of the costs of gluten-free food. The first point lovegrov made about only being able to claim...

    The previous gravitation towards eating gluten foods may be part of gluten's addictive properties on a celiac. The picky eating may be because subconsciously he knows that certain foods make him sick. I'm sure with time he'll get over that and begin to eat a larger variety of foods.
  18. kbtoyssni
    Nope. Not for something like celiac that has an easy, non-drug treatment. I don't find the diet to be *that* hard. It's just what I do. I don't know what's in this drug, but the possibility of side effects and other toxin-related issues is enough to make me not want to take it.

    I don't cheat. My life was so miserable pre-diagnosis that there is no way I would purposely eat gluten. Even if you don't get an outward reaction, you're still doing damage and setting yourself up for a major health issues down the road.

    In the latter years of grade school, my family doctor tld my mother I had likely grown out of it. I am now 32 and have been having some severe problems the last few years. -This was a very common misconception that doctors used to have. 1. Is it possible that a person can out grow their celiac disease? -No. 2. Can a person have celiac disease...

    It's not uncommon for your intestines to fully heal and for you to be able to eat gluten for a while without any known symptoms. BUT - you are still doing damage!!! Eventually eating gluten again will catch up to you in the form of cancer, osteoporosis, mental illness, etc. Please go back to the gluten-free diet. You do not want to set yourself up for...

    I'm not quite sure why the results said allergy/intolerance. I thought an allergy is an immediate reaction while intolerance is more long-term (and autoimmune in the case of celiac). I've always felt that gluten intolerance is the first step on your way to celiac. Celiac is diagnosed only after you have a lot of damage to th intestines; with gluten intolerance...

    One red flag is the shampoo. If you touch your hair, then touch a counter or a doorknob, you may be spreading gluten around the house. Even washing your hands before you eat isn't going to help that. I personally would keep looking for another shampoo. Living in a house of gluten eaters is tricky. Do you share sponges to wash dishes? Did you replace...

    I think if he really cared about your and your daughter's health and mental well-being he should be respectful of your decision to go gluten-free. Whether he agrees with you is not the issue. Would he be willing to go to counseling? This sounds like a chronic respect problem that needs to be worked out. It's not about the food.

    My mum had a comprehensive metabolic panel done the other day and asked me if I could help her with the test results before she talks to her doctor. I've never had a CMP done, and I'm not sure what everything means. Her carbon dioxide level was high and her anion gap was low (I don't know the exact numbers). The rest of the test came back normal. Anyone...
