    Betty, The way I understand it is, when we have damaged villi, we can not digest the lactose in the milk or dairy products. I don't believe that consuming the dairy will continue to harm the villi or impede healing. I think it's more a matter of stopping it for a while to give the system a chance to heal and settle down a bit, and then if you can tolerate...

    Hi Nini--That was perfect timing for me! I bought the potato flakes on Saturday and made shepard's pie with them tonight (to make the meat part). I will be trying your chicken, too. Thanks

    Nope. Never. Not once.

    When I used to eat dairy, I loved Stoneyfield Farms! The Vanilla and the Strawberry flavors are really good. Good for your wife while taking the antibiotics--it has the good bacteria in it.

    Lynne--you hit the nail on the head with that--how true

    ARCHIVED A Useful Specialist?!

    Ha Ha--I will be watching for any answers you get to this since I am going to see an Allergist this Friday! I'm going for much of the same reasons as you are. After 8 months gluten-free, I am increasingly intolerant to other foods--especially other grains. I also want to be tested for actual allergies--since going gluten-free, I get tingly mouth symptoms...

    Milk chocolate is a tough one to do without dairy. Enjoy Life makes semi-sweet choc. chips that are both dairy and soy free. I make the best hot chocolate--it is creamy and very milk-chocolaty tasting. I use Vance's Dari Free (potato based non dairy "milk"), one teaspoon of Nestle's unsweetened cocoa powder, and one teaspoon sugar. I mix it all in a mug...

    I am sensitive to soy, but can use Smart Balance. Some people with soy problems can still tolerate oil and lecithin. I can use both of those, but not soy flour or isolated soy protein--those give me D, gas and cramping. I think I react to the protein in the soy. Galaxy Foods makes a rice cheese, but I don't know if it contains lactose or not--you might...

    I can't chew gum anymore either .

    Yes--the Gluten Free Pantry Pie Crust Mix--it is really good! I used it for a pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving and everyone loved it.

    Yup--I've had my cobalt blue Kitchen Aid for years and love it.

    I haven't used sorghum flour yet, but Enjoy Life uses it in some of their cookies and I seem to tolerate it well so far.

    Thanks Vincent--I'm learning something new every day

    Glad to hear you're feeling better, Betty! Enjoy the brownies

    yea--as if the gas and the frequent bathroom visits weren't embarassing enough.......

    I guess I never would have expected the comradery we all seem to have here--such a good feeling to know my cyber friends are out there
  17. jerseyangel
    Nope--me either, I'm convinced of it.

    Thanks Joe--I did react to the Puffins--not the first or second time, but when I bought a new box. It actually caused stomach pain within minutes of eating it. I figured that this batch was probably made right after another product with gluten, and got contaminated. That kind of thing, I think, makes it hard to pin down the source of the reaction.

    Not a thing wrong with it!! I satisfy my craving with Dove Dark Chocolate Promises--when I need to, I pop one and let it melt in my mouth

    They talked about it in Dangerous Grains. I believe it's called the rectal challenge.

    Thanks, Jessica!

    Angie--I know how you feel--I have an appt. to see an allergist on Friday. I am hoping he will be willing to help me find the causes of the additional food sensitivites I have "developed" since going gluten-free. In any case, I do want to be tested for true allergies because I react to almonds and walnuts now with itching on the roof of my mouth (never...

    Marcia and Cronic--I fit in well with the 2 of you! I did work part-time, and even had to stop that when the Celiac went into high gear. I was sick often for over 20 years--always misdiagnosed leading to taking many unnecessary meds. My husband has a pretty high pressure job, and I was a stay at home mom to our 2 sons--so for those years, it wasn't that...

    Nikki--Great questions! I've been wondering the same things. I have never been a member of a forum before--I only accidently stumbled onto this one while doing a Google search. It was a couple months after my diagnosis, and I was pretty lost in terms of what to expect, what to eat and just about everything, really. It was a lucky day for me, though. ...

    I have read here that bananas do bother some--I guess any food could do that. For me, bananas are one of my go-to foods when I am sick, I always have them in the house. This is all so hard to unravel, I know. I am seeing an allergist on Friday--just a consult to see if he will help me get to the bottom of things. If I get any new info or anything, I will...
