    Same here....we react to Udi's, but so far, we've been good with Rudi's. I really like that the pieces are larger, and you seem to get more slices with each loaf. My kids, and their gluten eating cousins loved it too.

    Consider really cutting down on the Udi's bread....we were eating it nearly every day for a year, and my son started having mild seizures (his reaction to gluten) because of it. I took me forever to pinpoint it, I never thought to take Udi's out. It must have trace amounts that some are sensitive to, and it builds up over time. The same could probably...

    Thank you!! Hopefully if we play it safe, she'll be okay. I know what you mean about the horse bug....I used to ride quite a bit when I was younger. It is such an amazing feeling, it just never leaves you. I hope this works out for my daughter...I think this will be a great confidence booster for her. Something about horses is so therapeutic on many...

    I have signed my daughter up for riding lessons. She adores horses, and I know she would love this. Now I'm wondering if I made a huge mistake. She is extremely sensitive....the last time she was glutened, it was from painting a mold made from plaster. Apparently the inhaled gluten made her more sick than ingesting it. She had bloody noses, and ran a...

    You might also think about having her evaluated for a learning disability. My daughter has been gluten free since the age of 3, but it didn't clear up all of her learning issues. She has an expressive/receptive delay. It wasn't overtly obvious, had I not had her evaluated, it would have probably just seemed like she was lazy and didn't want to try...

    My daughter and I are super sensitive, and I have one child who is allergic to almost all of the top 8 allergens. So, our menu is really boring and simple Breakfast: Pancakes, Mesa Sunrise cereal, or Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot Cereal (so good!) Lunch: Usually dinner leftovers or sandwiches Dinner: Taco salad, Chili pie, grilled chicken...

    Also, regarding the high fat content....classic malabsorption, you were right in asking about that. That's what makes the stools so foul smelling. You are on the right track mom, now you just need to find a more knowledegable doc!

    Oh, these doctors!! What a load of crap (pardon the pun ) There are some great doctors out there, but there are always some very ignorant doctors who make these nonsense, catch-all diagnoses that mean nothing. Toddler's diarrhea is such an outdated, ricidulous diagnosis. And I am so tired of docs discounting a child's description about how they feel...

    That happened to me last year with a different ADHD and autism cookbook. It was $25, and huge, so I thought it was a real find. Many of the muffin and bread recipes didn't work, and made me wonder if any of the recipes were ever tested. It's so infuriating when a gluten free cookbook is a dud, b/c not only have you wasted money on the book itself, but...

    My heart is just breaking for your little girl. I can't believe there are teachers out there actually like that! We have been incredibly lucky so far...we had one teacher who really did not get it, and that was a rough year. However, the past two years we have had relatively young teachers, who had a much greater awareness of allergies and have been...

    True....it's hard to tell. I thought it was a classic gluten reaction, b/c looking back there was a time after school she got sick and I never found the source. Turns out it was the day they made that darn fossil tooth. I just didn't connect it at the time. But now I just don't know. She's still running a high fever, and everything's come back negative...

    My daughter does...she's running one right now, after a glutening on Sunday. I brought her in to the doctor today, since it's day 4 of fever. Nothing could be found, so I'm assuming it's her immune system gone awry. Hope your challenge goes okay and you get to feeling better soon!

    My dd is in the midst of one of the worst gluten reactions she's had in the past 5 years, and she didn't even ingest it. At school, the kids had made dinosaur teeth out of plaster. I did not know that the plaster had flour in it (big duh moment, talk about guilt). So Sunday, I let my dd paint her dinosaur tooth. She scraped the sand off of it, played...

    Thank you for the almond milk recipe! I soaked my almonds last night, so I'm excited to make some milk today. Woke up this morning without a nagging headache for the first time in a while, so I'm really hoping that carrageenan is the culprit that was making me sick for so long. Almond Breeze was about the last processed food item I bought...I have...

    I know in our case, my daughter's weight dropped down before her height did. She first lost weight at her 18 month check up, she had lost 2 pounds. But, she had grown about 1/4 inch, so no red flags went up. This went on for another 18 months, when at age 3, she still had not regained any weight, nor gained any height. It all depends on the doctor...

    I'm fine with rice, I just really love the texture and taste of Almond milk. I'll give up the processed stuff in a heartbeat though if it means I'll feel better! I'll just make my own, it won't be as smooth, but at least it won't have added junk. I'm wondering if this is why my dd has started struggling in school again too...our symptoms mirror each...

    I posted a few days ago that I have been feeling pretty crappy on and off for the past 4 months. I've been thinking of trying SCD, I am so desperate to feel better! It dawned on me yesterday,that as our budget has increased, so has my Almond Breeze intake. Duh! I really love the stuff, and drink 3 or more cups a day, plus I bake with it. I did a...

    I have been gluten/dairy free for 2 years, along with my entire family. This past December, I took some high dose antibiotics for a dental infection. Since then, I just have not been the same. I seem to be unable to tolerate carbs or sugar. I have had extreme fatigue, heart palpitations, get dehydrated easily, and feel hungover most days. This has...

    We recently got life insurance for the kids and ourselves through MetLife. My dd also has a urinary tract defect, but she still was approved. I had to give the doctor's name and address, and it took a couple of months, but she was approved.

    I use the Annelise Roberts cookbook as well...I have tried many other blends, but I keep coming back to her mix. It is pricier, so I only use the mix for cookies and cakes. The baked goods come out so moist, with the perfect crumb and texture...I know a few gluten free bakeries actually use her blend too. I use a different mix for pancakes, which I can...

    Everyone gave you great ideas.....I've been in your shoes before, quite recently really. We are a family of 6 that is gluten free and dairy free as well. There have been times I've had $150 to feed us all for 2 weeks. Not easy, but I did it. One item I wanted to mention was Masa Harina flour (Maseca brand). I find it at Walmart...it's corn flour...

    My daughter was a bit different....once she actually started looking ill, she never caught a cold or got sick at all. I attribute this to her immune system constantly being "on". Once we got her on the diet, her immune system could take a break, then she seemed to catch every cold out there, but nothing too bad. Like many, it took two years to finally...

    In our case, I have one daughter who was diagnosed first at age 3. I had my other two boys tested, they tested negative, but have responded well to the diet. At the time of testing, my oldest son was lactose intolerant and had Psoriasis at the age of 6. My youngest boy always had yellow, seedy stools, constant ear infections, and would just scream and...

    My 5 year old gets red cheeks and ears too...I've read it could be allergies, but we haven't had my son allergy tested as of yet. We need to though, b/c I'm sure he's sensitive to other foods. Last summer, he ate some strawberries, and within 5 minutes his cheeks and ears were bright red. When his cheeks go red, he also gets very agitated and angry. Hope...

    It could also be helpful to make a list of the most common things she is eating, and we might be able to tell you if there are any hidden sources of gluten. I know there are plenty of items out there that should be gluten free, but still cause problems. For my daughter, we have had to cut out alot of processed foods, and go to a more whole foods diet...
