    I will never understand why doctors still have people do that innane gluten challenge for a biopsy--when the blood test and the dietary response are highly positive I had a lot of the same symptoms as you did--and my doctors said and did pretty much the same thing. It wasn't until I heard about gluten intolerance and saw a GI on my own and asked him...

    Armetta--they will be fine with the Spectrum, I'm sure. I substitute it for butter or margarine all the time. Never had a problem!

    Aw--a big hug coming your way And if I only knew how to trade in the old immune system and intestine... Anyway, how long have you been gluten-free? I should know, but I get mixed up sometimes So many new people!

    Hi Lynne, My heart aches for what you're going through. Things have a way of working themselves out--although it's a mystery to me why sometimes we have to go through hell to get there. Two years ago I was so sick constantly that I didn't even get out of bed until it was almost time for the guys to come home. I was scared, depressed and paranoid...

    Gail and Lisa--I'm with the two of you! I wash my hands the minute I walk back into the house no matter where I've been. Doorknobs, ATM machines, the afore mentioned shopping carts, etc...there are germs lurking everywhere--I don't think that the handwashing and not touching your face is excessive--I think it's necessary

    Bev--I'm so sorry to hear of all this. It just dosen't seem fair sometimes....

    Those sound good! Thanks

    Yes! I was so glad to hear that they will run a series of episodes, take a break, and run the rest of them with no reruns. I agree it's hard enough to follow, and having a rerun or 4 in between makes it worse!

    I just noticed she dosen't have any pants on! I'm originally from Syracuse Our families are still there, so we are up there a few times a year. Love the fall in central NY--when our kids were young, we'd take drives out to "apple country"--Tully, and around there. Many years ago, my husband and I ate at a very nice Italian restaurant on the main...

    I have to ask--what are y'all looking at out the window?

    I do use Nestles Chocolate Chips in my cookies. I've not noticed any problems from them--I'm careful otherwise to avoid dairy, and I don't eat them every day.

    Come to think of it, I was tested for "spice mix" also during my allergy testing last spring. It was negative, so I didn't ask any questions about it.

    I can't believe this Alfred has his own thread with 10 posts!

    I used to get swolen glands in my neck quite often pre gluten-free. Mine weren't in the back of my neck, they were behind my ears or down under my jawline. They were sometimes painful--and I felt sick all over with them. In the 14+ months I've been on the gluten-free diet, I haven't had them once. Susie--I like your new picture, how nice to...

    Last year, I used Whole Foods Sandwich Bread. I cut it into cubes, spread it on a baking sheet, sprinkled heavily with poultry seasoning and baked it at 325 till the cubes were hard. The stuffing came out really good! This year, I plan to make my own bread with potato starch (Roben Ryberg's recipe from "The Gluten Free Kitchen"), since the WF breads...

    Before I'd suspect the carrots, I would consider an intolerance to legumes.

    Thanks a lot, guys--now what am I going to do on Wednesday nights

    Lister-- A salad spinner is not something that's necessary at all. I've been cooking for over 30 years, and have never owned one Washing the lettuce under cold, running water is fine--if you want the leaves drier, put them in your collander for a while.
  21. jerseyangel
    Yes, touching a gluten filled food, and then eating right afterward without washing your hands first would make you sick. And now the whole bag of pretzels would also be contaminated. I agree with the germ analogy--I treat it like that, too. When I describe CC to others, I tend to use salmonella as an example.

    OMG--I can't wait, either! I love that show
  23. jerseyangel
    Wow--that is really interesting! Your son is quite the researcher

    Nikki-- I'll be sending my good thoughts your way and saying a prayer for your son It's so much harder when it one of our kids, isn't it? I always wished it could be me instead of them going through these kinds of things. Sorry you have to wait the extra week--that's always hard...
