ARCHIVED Just Frustrated
LauraTX replied to elless's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I may have missed this but did you get a total IgA done to make sure your ttg IgA wasn't a false negative? Edit: spelling is hard. -
ARCHIVED Gluten Challenge & Wisdom Teeth
LauraTX replied to dania's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Milkshakes with cookies and cream of wheat are good ideas. When I had my wisdom teeth out, I got cups of easy mac and cooked them with extra water, chopped the noodles up with my fork, and slurped it down, haha. I also got peach cobbler and mac and cheese baby food... you should be able to find some gluteny baby food, the ones for older babies that have... -
ARCHIVED Ttg-Iga Test Positive
LauraTX replied to manaja's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Welcome to the forum! Some Celiacs get what are thought of as atypical symptoms or no outward symptoms at all. The blood test is a good indicator of the autoimmune activity that accompanies Celiac, and the endoscopy will give you a good idea of what kind of damage is going on in there. The doctor probably marked you as urgent so you would be scheduled... -
ARCHIVED Should I Do The Gluten Challenge Or Not?
LauraTX replied to dan95's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
If you feel like you may be at risk for lyme disease, it is always a good idea to get the blood test to rule it out. You can just ask them to throw it in there with the other tests. -
I am going to use this line in the future, haha

Do you think if I just freeze portions of cut up chicken and toss them on top of the salad frozen, they will thaw okay by lunch time? Would be the night before. I needed a physically non-demanding job am going to be taking calls for a big company. Train there 2 months and then work from home, it'll be 20 hours a week, create your own schedule as long as... -

The What's For Dinner Tonight Chat
LauraTX replied to jess-gf's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Have a great time on vacation!! What have I eaten lately? Last night was chicken enchiladas that I had froze on an earlier date. Day before I made myself gnocchi with sauteed mushrooms and zuchinni- so gooood! Earlier this week we tried out the trader joes brown rice tortillas and made quesadillas. They taste good but they hurt my jaw chewing them... -
ARCHIVED To Go Coffee
LauraTX replied to YankeeGurl1216's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Welcome to the forum, Maddy! Just grabbing the plain coffee anywhere is going to be fine as far as gluten issues go. The flavored coffees and such could maybe potentially have some no-no ingredients in there, so definitely check with the store to see if they have an ingredients list, or write corporate. Anything blended like fancy drinks at starbucks... -

ARCHIVED Do You Shop In Asian/oriental Stores?
LauraTX replied to BlessedMommy's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
What tool do you use do grind your rice and millet? (That is you who makes the millet bread, right?) I have thought about getting the grain mill attachment for my kitchenaid mixer, but I know it is made for wheat. not sure if other stuff will gum it up. -
ARCHIVED Do I Bother With An Endoscopy?
LauraTX replied to KristaM's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
If you are able to get a copy of the blood test report, we can help you interpret how quite positive it is. But your doctor is probably correct on that. If there is any doubt in your mind, get the endoscopy done. It will help you solidify the diagnosis, and also diagnose how bad the Celiac damage is so you kind of have an idea if it is going to take a...- 8 replies

The What's For Dinner Tonight Chat
LauraTX replied to jess-gf's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
There is a bakery here that does similar to this and has a cult following of Celiacs that love their bread. They keep it all separate but won't formally certify. And it is tasty!!!!! -

ARCHIVED Chanel?
LauraTX replied to WinterSong's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I think Chanel gave you a pretty thorough answer. Shared facility, no gluten ingredients used. They don't want to call anything gluten-free since they are not set up for that. I do think lip products need the most investigation, and to me, the answer they provided (no gluten but also a cover your bum statement) is good enough to mean it is safe for use... -
ARCHIVED Stop Eating Bread
LauraTX replied to wullie1974's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
It just takes a long while to get used to the sticker shock. After time passes and you no longer stop to stare at the gluteny foods, it will be a little less painful. I will say that the cup4cup flour brand is usually the most expensive option I see out there, but lower demand things like gluten-free flour that need special handling and testing are just... -
ARCHIVED Chanel?
LauraTX replied to WinterSong's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
When it comes to cosmetics, I just read the label and if there are no gluten ingredients that is sufficient. Non-food companies are rarely going to give a gluten-free guarantee, so the answer you got from jergens is usually the best you are going to get unless you want to pay for the guarantee that comes with some certain brands, but in reality it isn't... -
