    The other thing that strikes me is, with so little fiber, she may simply have very hard stools in her intestines (hence, the hard belly). I'm certainly not saying "this means it wouldn't be celiac", just noting that will play a role as well.

    What are you eating? Doubling your vegetables doesn't tell us much (if you were hardly eating any to begin with, you still may be eating a small quantity compared to other, starchier, foods). Lots of beans have plenty of carbs too, and may not have enough fiber/protein to balance out the carbs you're getting there. Give us an idea of what you eat in a...

    As long as she is following the gluten free diet, her fertility will not be impacted by having celiac. It's genetic, so she can pass the genes on to her children, but that is not a guarantee they will develop celiac disease. It requires both the genes AND a trigger. And even if she does, it's not the end of the world to eat gluten free.

    Let's be clear - misleading headlines and some blatantly incorrect information aside, this is merely referring to studies which show fewer breastfed babies get celiac than those who are breastfed, and if they do get it, they are more likely to get it at a later date. It does NOT mean it PREVENTS celiac in the population as a whole (blame the misleading article...

    Well, yogurt is made from milk (which is what we call dairy), so strictly speaking, no, if you're having yogurt you are not dairy free. You may be lactose free (not consuming the milk sugar) but you are still consuming casein (the milk protein).

    1) about 10% of celiacs react to oats. if you are bloated or get a stomach ache after eating gluten free oats, you will need to avoid ALL oats. if you don't, you can safely have GLUTEN FREE oats, but not regular ones as they have (most) all tested out at too high of a level of contamination. your friend is playing with fire and likely doing internal damage...

    My husband and toddler are gluten free at home, for the most part. I know I sound mean, but the family can adjust!

    You'll have to check the labels - almost everything has dairy if not also wheat. Even the freeze dried eggs are out. When I backpack, I make and dehydrate my own food since it's so hard to find Gluten-free Casein-free premade stuff. There's a company that has a couple offereings, but you'll have to online order, most likely. I'll try to find the name...

    I did this with my old banana bread recipes years ago before I was gluten free. That one worked fine. Haven't tried it since.

    I think it is unlikely that these particular hormones will be thrown off. It's a combination of a number hormones, including ones that baby and placenta produces.

    Are your butter/jam/peanut butter (toppings) new? Are you using ones from before you went gluten-free that may be CC'ed?

    Beans, lentils, eggs, quinoa, seeds, other nuts, root vegetables can all be added if you are comfortable with them.

    Besides Elana's website, which is great, I make this recipe all the time, and everyone I know who has these muffins loves them: Open Original Shared Link I do the version with eggs and honey, and the brand of coconut oil makes a difference, though I don't remember which my favorite is.

    If you have no reason to think that she is celiac, then there is really no reason to pump and dump. Baby is going to need to ear, after all.
  15. tarnalberry
    Beans, lentils, corn, rice, quinoa, root vegetables (potatoes, yams, beets, etc.), fruits (tree fruits in particular) are all excellent sources of carbohydrates.
  16. tarnalberry
    Is your baby celiac? If not, I wouldn't bother dumping, honestly.

    You can also make angel food cake into cupcakes. No terribly special ingredients except subbing rice flour for the wheat. (Arrowroot would be better, but in a pinch...)
  18. tarnalberry
    Two things: You can turn that Namaste spice cake mix into cupcakes - just cook it in cupcake liners. If you can find the ingredients, the recipes here are GREAT! Open Original Shared Link (I served the strawberry ones for a party and everyone loved them. They use coconut flour and arrowroot flour, which shouldn't be too hard to find, and you could probably...

    That test makes no sense. If you are intolerant to casein, you can't have cheese - cheddar, mozzarella, or otherwise. Casein is a large part of cheese.... The butter question is more complicated. Butter is milk fat. The only reason it has casein in it is that it takes a lot of effort to remove all the protein/carbs from milk to get *just* the fat....

    Blood tests just aren't reliable in those under 2. They don't have the same immune system you do (and won't until they are closer to 7, at least, so it's not the testing magically is reliable, but there's a better chance than when they were younger). But that doesn't mean that they can't be tried, you just need to keep in mind that a negative may not...

    It's hot in Seattle, I wanted lunch, but didn't want to cook, and so we have (with guesses on the the amount of ingredients, because I didn't measure a thing): Lentil-Rice Salad Serves ~2 ----------------- 1 cup leftover brown rice (we always make more than we need for leftovers) 1 cup premade lentils (Trader Joe's sells these - they're AWESOME for...

    What is it that you are regularly eating?
  23. tarnalberry
    Freezer bags have always worked fine for me. Though, of course, some people (like my husband) are FAR more sensitive to the smell than others.

    fruits (this week we've had oranges, bananas, mango, cantaloupe, peaches, apples, raspberries, blueberries, and strawberries) veggies (this week we've had carrots, celery, potatoes, spinach, lettuce, bell pepper, onion, broccoli, cauliflower, tomatoes, and sugar snap peas) eggs meats (this week we've had steak, chicken, and salmon) beans/legumes (this...

    I don't have a lot of meaningful words, but as tests results in kids under 2 are notoriously unreliable, even if he did go back on gluten, he could easily get a false negative. I'd be considering leaving him gluten free for a few years (and if you're nursing, you should be gluten free as well as long as you do) and re-evaluating if you want to put him on...
