    I was BEGGED by my immunologist to do this study because I am already his personal patient and he is a study doctor. But since I have so much other stuff going on, I just couldn't put in the time to do it amongst my other 4 doctors I see and retain my sanity. I would have liked to, but the study period came at a bad time for me. Go to your first appointment...

    Honestly, if it is one specific person/household that needs some extra TLC, go to their house and cook gluten free food for them there. Have them give you a recipe and write you a grocery list with the specific brand to buy, and then use the staples in their pantry/fridge. If there are a few people in the church who have to eat gluten-free and you...

    That is quite odd. I wonder if skin changes with age have anything to do with it? That could be a stretch, I will throw in I have no idea what your age is (dont kiiiilllll me pleeease <3 ). I have a couple birthmarks, and they all have stayed the same. I have freckles and multi-freckle spots that REALLY pop out if I get any bit of a sun tan.

    I think prickly is right, that the mango is bleeding out too much moisture into the batter in the later stages of baking. Maybe you can pre-bake the mango peices a little bit to where they dry out around the edges if you don't want to use dried fruit. You can also partially hydrate dried fruit. You may also find good results using mashed mango, especially...

    I think what the previous repliers said is good and thorough in the gluten area, and Id like to add to that in the "C" area. I take plaquenil and other drugs for my lupus that cause severe "C". I take usually 2 metamucil caps daily, but I dont take them if I have a super high fiber meal. I never take stimluant medicine for that problem because I eat...

    I recently saw a grater thing on TV, it must be new because I have never seen it. But it looks kind of like a pencil sharpener but you stick a zucchini/squash in it and twist, and you make noodle cuts. One end is wide noodles, one end is thin noodles. I can't easily find it with an internet search, although I am a bit tired and don't want to dig. Edit...

    I dug around in some journal sources and was unable to find anything other than the anecdotal evidence you say you already found. That doesn't mean that there is not a link, it just means there has not been a published study. Now, if you want your doctor to know about the celiac- osteopenia link and also the osteopenia-scoliosis link, you can find articles...

    This is good to know. We find ourselves going through Jackson at least once a year, and like to stop and stay the night there.

    Yep. I keep my cat food in the kitchen on the far end of the counter. One less intense handwashing step for when I feed her. (When I handle a gluten source I wash my hands and use a nail brush). I feed her a normal measured amount, but spread into four times per day because she begs and annoys the crud out of me. Also, cats lick themselves all day grooming...

    Last night I made roast chicken leg quarters with BBQ seasoning, home fries, and broccoli. Yummm.

    You certainly do not need to do a water fast. That will land you in the hospital. Generally, people who have problems with dairy are the ones with severe villi damage. If all you are wanting to do is start a gluten-free diet, I would not exclude dairy unless you start to suspect it is giving you problems. I think I am lacking information on why you are...

    I was diagnosed with IC when I was 18 and still deal with it. The best website is Open Original Shared Link (that is their page on diet) They used to recommend cutting out acidic foods, spicy foods and such, but now they don't give as many specific guidelines. I would definitely recommend keeping a food journal to see if you are able to link symptoms to...

    That acana brand looks like it is pretty good. Mainly a canadian brand but they do sell it on petflow. By the way, your white cat looks hilariously cute in your avatar.

    I have severe GERD and gallbladder issues as well, and sometimes I am unable to figure out if it is that or the asthma causing symptoms. This year I got a digital peak flow meter, and my doctor said to use it to check before I use my inhaler and only use my inhaler if I am below a certain number. Shortly after that I realized that sometimes I felt like...

    I deal with lupus, an inflammatory disease. I find that anything that makes me feel poorly in one area, like asthma irritants, crappy food/poor diet, over/under exercise... it all contributes to my overall lack of well-being and leads to everything acting up. Of course this is anecdotal evidence and should be taken at face value. I googled "air quality...

    I feed my cat Blue Buffalo's Freedom Indoor. Their Freedom line is all grain-free. Basically the ingredients are the same as their regular cat food, but it has potatoes as the carb source instead of barley. The ingredient list looks the same otherwise. I fed her blue buffalo indoor before switching, switched to gluten-free food for her because she eats...

    I second the snyders gluten-free pretzels. I will eat them when I have an upset stomach. They are also great dipped in things, but they have that snackable quality that I can deal with when I am ill.

    Something else that may help you, that helped me greatly when I went gluten-free a year ago now, is one of the gluten-free grocery guides available. The one I use is the Cecelias marketplace one, they just put out a new edition, which I preordered. Open Original Shared Link Triumph also makes a guide book, but I haven't looked at it. Both will have an...

    A nap sounds dandy! Also don't drink and drive, people. And watch out for the crazies who do! Today for dinner I am making fried chicken tenders. I marinate them in buttermilk and sriracha, and dip them in cajun seasoned gluten-free bisquick. Something about the sweetness of the gluten-free bisquick really goes well with spicy chicken tenders. ...

    I also carry a full sheet folded up in my wallet, next to my DL where it sticks out a bit I put yellow highlighter on it and ***MEDICAL INFO**** so it is obvious. That way if something happens and I am incapacitated they will find that. I also tell everyone I know, if I get sick my info is in here. It has all my many medications, conditions, past surgeries...

    We all could use some more gluten-free beef jerky. On a recent road trip I was looking at every place we stopped at because I had a hankering, but didn't find any.

    A good example of how a little persistence can pay off It is worth it for your health!

    I looked it up and yes, it does contain Niacin. Especially if you don't drink energy drinks a lot, what you described sounds like a niacin flush. Here is a link to some info: Open Original Shared Link The flushing is more of an annoyance. When I drink an energy drink (5 hour energy) on a rare occasion, I drink half, then the other half later if I still...

    We went to outback today since we were out and it was too late to start cooking the stuff I got to make chicken tacos. I'll make them tomorrow.
