    ditto that thought - I've not yet seen any peanut butter (or other nut butter) with wheat in it. not saying there isn't one in all the world, just that it's not a high probability. (still, ALWAYS read the ingredients.)

    You know your husbands/friends/coworkers spend too much time on MMORPG's when start reading the title to this post, and think it's a OT post about "Burning Crusades". Save me from the insanity! (The gamers, or those with gamers in the family, will get this. The rest of you thank your lucky stars it makes no sense.)

    yay! I'm glad you believe too!

    Yes, it is the oat flour. Not only that, but it's made by Quaker, who has always noted that they have a high risk of contamination on their lines.

    welcome to the board! I'm glad to hear the diet is helping your symptoms!

    Be on the lookout, Disaronno is a fairly good amaretto, and is less likely to be used in mixers than straight up (or less mixed) drinks. There are a lot of other amaretto's out there (which I also suspect are gluten free, but if you go by the "if I haven't seen it personally verified" rule...)

    Back when I could have dairy, I did enjoy the Pamela's mix. Those were good. (They have buttermilk powder.)

    My cough was due to cough variant asthma, which was surprisingly difficult to diagnose. As it is a form of reactive airway disease, the food could aggrivate it, but I'd be more inclined to think GERD or refllux as well.

    There are a lot of things you can make out of the naturally gluten free fruits, vegetables, and grains that are available. Googling "gluten free vegan recipes" will find out some resources. Raw cookbooks may be a good help as well. There are others on the board who are vegan who may have good resources for you. Not being able to eat beans, however,...

    Any pancake mix I've used - or my husband has used - has thickened considerably if it sits for more than five minutes or so. (Depends on the flours used.) The Namaste mix I use has a little gum in it, but I think the gum may be part of it, because the recipes I use that don't have any don't do that - some things absorb more liquid than others.) As...

    Not following the gluten free diet if you have celiac disease does increase your risk for intestinal cancers, nutritional deficiencies, neurologic complications, other autoimmune conditions, and other systemic complications. The diet can be quite complicated in this world, but once you get past the learning curve, you'll find that it's far from impossible...

    Many celiacs have IgA deficiency, and it's not always horridly serious. Without a total IgA test, your IgA value doesn't tell you anything, and is worth checking on. Your test results seem, at the least, inconclusive. If eating gluten-free makes you feel better, that's important confirmation.

    Yes. Lactose (milk-sugar) intolerance *often* accompanies celiac disease in the first months of treatment, as the enzyme to break down lactose is produced at the tips of the villi that are damaged by the gluten intolerance. Some celiacs also have trouble with casein (milk-protein) as well, which will not go away after a few months as the intestines...

    No, regular pharmacies cannot compound medications, and I don't know that hospitals can (probably varies by hospital. IV meds are likely to be safe, but liquids I would expect to contain corn syrup... Compounded meds are more expensive and probably aren't covered as much by your insurance, but they can usually be made *exactly* to your specifications...

    while I wasn't gluten-free at the time of my honeymoon, we did bed-and-breakfasts that had kitchens. worked great, and we could cook our own food.

    You might be able to get something made up for you at a compounding pharmacy.

    Namaste is my preference - made with almond milk. Even my "doesn't like gluten-free flours" husband enjoys the pancakes.

    If you tested positive, you have it. Period. It's not a game, and if you have the time, there's an awful lot of studies to read on pubmed.com (redirects to the site that archives journal studies). Not everyone has the same symptoms - even the diahreah. Many people do *not* throw up. Not everyone gets severely sick. There's a wide range of symptoms...

    you do need to pour them fairly quickly... what kind of flours are you using? some of them can absorb a *lot* of liquid. humidity variation and other substitutions may make a difference. the guar gum probably isn't helping. you might try adding not just milk but other liquid as well - oil perhaps? and cinnamon! (ok, maybe that's just me )

    Links to articles regarding cow's milk-sensitive enteropathy: Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link One thing to note is that this is described as a 'temporary' enteropathy, and it appears that elimination for a while, followed by reintroduction, does not cause damage to reoccur. Now, I think we all know that there may need to be more...

    I don't know how much this is biological and how much this is psychological - either way, I've no doubt it's real. You get over it the same way you get over any craving - finding a way that works for you, and being patient. It may be strict avoidance. It may be replacing these items with gluten free ones you can have (Tinkyada or Glutino/Ener-G, in this...

    a good tip with the lip moisturizer is to use it before you need it - use it consistently for best results kind of thing.

    To be fair, it *has* been relatively well established that true depression *can* be a chronic condition brought on by a chemical imbalance in the brain. That's not to say it's true for everyone, or that it should be the first type assumed. (I think most psych's assume situational, then chronic, and you're right that they don't adequately address causal medical...

    depends on the pharmacy, it seems. I thought I had to get them at whole foods until I moved to seattle, and found that the bartell's across the street carried them.
  25. tarnalberry
    false positives are pretty much unheard of. it's worth getting the test results for yourself for a reference, but if you test positive, you have it. it's a steep learning curve, but once you get past that and figure out how to adapt your preferences and life, you'll find that it's not nearly as bad as it seems. it's a habit to break, and there's mourning...
