    I had that happen once - for me, it was benign positional vertigo. I can't tell from what you describe as your symptoms if it fits here, but thought I'd mention it.

    I would expect it to be gluten from the meatballs - they almost always have breadcrumbs in them.

    Yeah, with kids, because you need cooperation from other institutions, I think that going for testing and a formal diagnosis is worthwhile. I would take him as gluten free as you can after that, of course.

    You say that you are bloated whether or not you eat, which makes me suggest that you talk to a doctor. There may be non-digestive issues going on which are giving you your digestive symptoms.

    I like how they look, but I developed vulvar vestibulitis years ago, and though it's 95% managed, jeans have to fit just right, and I have to be feeling my best to wear them. So I generally don't. I'm a yoga teacher and stay-at-home-mom, though, so I regularly break the "don't go around in yoga pants all day long" fashion "rule".

    Totally don't have to get into a car to work on relaxation. You just start by breathing. Two exercises you could do: 1) Count your breath. Sit or lie, comfortably, and count every inhale/exhale set. When you get to 10, start over at 1. If you lose your place, start over at 1. If you suddenly realized you stopped counting and were thinking about what...

    Absolutely - if she got a positive after being gluten free for so long, I wouldn't want to know what her scores were before that. New doc is DEFINITELY in order, as your current one, AGAINST TEST RESULTS, is telling you to make her sick.

    I think it's the "needs to be 7.5% of your income" thing that stops many of us. If you're making $50,000/yr, you need $3750 in after-insurance, eligible medical expenses to do medical deductions. I think many of us don't spend that much, even if you include co-pays, glasses, and gluten free food.

    Baby food isn't necessarily any more nutritious. But I wanted to suggest, if you haven't already, to look into some meditation classes. I am NOT trying to say "all your food reactions are stress", but stress hormones have a very strong influence on the digestive system (they slow it down, at a molecular level) as well as generally increasing inflammation...

    Those are very calorie dense foods... Do you feel the same if you have a bit of salad or some carrots?

    I often get their milk alternative (unsweetened coconut milk), yogurt, and their ice cream is my favorite alternative by far. I love their eggnog, when diluted with almond milk.

    As was noted, nothing may have changed other than the lawyer's risk assessment. If you are particularly sensitive to shared lines, certainly be cautious. But realize that they may also still be perfectly safe.

    Rarely, dairy can cause blunted villi as well, but celiac blood tests will of course come back negative. What dietary changes have you tried?
  14. tarnalberry
    Oh yes, make sure you pack foof in a bag that can go under the seat in front of you. Overhead bins can be a pain to get into.

    This - I regularly keep extra muffins in the freezer - they make great short-term ice packs.

    I'd bring things as close to regular food as you can. What about sandwiches on Udi's bread? Or muffins? Hard boiled eggs? Nuts and dried fruit are good options, as are the salami and cheese you mention. I'd think about what sorts of things you'd pack in a kid's lunchbox, leaving out the liquidy stuff.

    You know, I made gluten free stuff in my kitchen all the time, because I have to eat gluten free. Most all of our meals are gluten free, most every ingredient in the house is gluten free, and most all of our kitchenware is dedicated to gluten-free ingredients only. But my husband gets to have his granola bars stored in his kitchen cupboard, and a small...

    Walnut Apple Cinnamon Granola Ingredients 2 cups gluten free rolled oats 1 1/2 cups finely diced sweet apple 1/2 cup chopped walnuts 1/4 cup honey 2 tbsp walnut oil 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon 1/2 tsp salt pinch cloves pinch nutmeg pinch ginger Directions 1. Combine the wet ingredients and blend until the honey is well distributed. 2. Mix dry ingredients...

    Briefly - beans, lentils, rice, corn, quinoa, millet, amaranth, and buckwheat are all other sources of complex carbohydrates that can help bulk up your meals. Use plenty of fats in cooking (like olive oil and coconut oil and avocados) and don't shy away from nuts and seeds! You might also look into making baked goods from nut flours. Also... I hate to...

    Yeah, if they want to blame a 20-month old's nutritional deficiencies on breastfeeding 3-4 times a day... well, I'd kindly trash any paperwork they gave you (other than test results) and find a new dietician/PA. Seriously, that is antiquated, old, and not just unproven, but contrary to proven science. And makes my blood boil. /rargh! Testing in this...

    Not all the stores have them - it varies by geographic region. The Safeway, QFC, and Targets near me (in the Puget Sound, near Bellevue) have regular Kellog's Rice Crispies, but none of them carry the gluten free variety. Rather annoying, really.

    While she doesn't appear to *need* to be, my daughter doesn't really consume much cow dairy at all. She just doesn't really like it. She'll have almond or coconut milk (like I do, because I avoid casein) and yogurt on occasion, but otherwise, not much dairy at all. So, she gets other sources of calcium and vitamin D. (Honestly, the vitamin D in milk is...

    Sorry - I was replying to the article itself, not your reply.

    False - you do not get the benefits of the lactobacillus in the bread. It is killed by the heat of baking the bread.

    Absolutely, I would get her tested. You have described some of the most common symptoms of celiac disease, especially in children. I'd get her tested ASAP. But I would do the same as the PP suggested - regardless of the test result, try her gluten free (strictly gluten free). If you notice a real change, I would assume that she is celiac or intolerant...
