    Yep, being gluten-free for that long will affect your results, and good for you for listening to your body!

    Happy Birthday!

    Thank you for being a part of the board too! While I personally just love to see that little kitty in your avatar the most, I also love the help and advice you give to everyone. And that includes the questions you ask, because I sure know that I learn from answering questions as well as asking them.

    Pastries would be lovely. And sourdough bread. What makes me keep from trying things? * Excessive use of refined flours making for products unsuitable for those without extremely stable blood sugar. * High price, even for small sample sizes. (I'm willing to pay higher prices if I can try a sample size of something for a reasonable price.) * Odd...

    My husband (a picky, non-celiac) and I (Gluten-free Casein-free) prefer Namaste mix for pancakes.

    ARCHIVED Turkey

    But we're talking about a turkey, which does not fall under the FDA law, but the USDA law. Different law entirely.

    Bran is a generic term for Open Original Shared Link which contains a lot of the nutrition in a grain. Usually, in a recipe, "bran" refers to wheat bran, and that's mostly what you'll see in stores. But you can get the bran of many grains, and rice will probably be the easiest one to find to substitute in the recipe.

    You don't personally know they are not bogus any more than you don't personally know that the medical tests your doctors would run are not bogus, unless you do the research yourself. You're right - Enterolab does not have the published history that older tests have. That doesn't mean that all new technology should be dismissed because it isn't old, however...

    The tests are worthless if you've been eating gluten free. The tests look for antibodies to gluten in your blood - if you haven't been eating gluten, you haven't been creating those antibodies, or have enough damage to give you good odds of the antibodies getting through a leaky, damaged gut to be at a high volume in the blood stream. You must be eating...

    Tropical Source does make some fabulous chocolate!

    It is *not* harmful to eliminate four (out of thousands) of foods. What you need to be aware of is the over all nutrient content of your foods. For instance, bread is usually folic acid enriched, but gluten-free breads are not, in general. So you need to be aware of that so you get enough folic acid from other sources, which isn't hard. Alternative grains...

    ARCHIVED Turkey

    As Richard stated, this is not about the allergen labeling law. This is about a USDA law, regarding *meat only*, that has been in effect for years, and includes *all grains*.

    Welcome to the board! First, I want to let you know that the feelings of being overwhelmed, depressed, and maybe a little lost are *totally* normal. You're both looking at changing a major habit that is practically subconscious now. And not just changing, but giving up entirely - there's a grieving process to go through there. Learning the ropes...

    Well, there's no scientific definition of non-celiac gluten-sensitivity. So technically, there can't be "proof". There is, however, scientific evidence of villious atrophy concordant with celiac disease that resolves on a gluten free diet in the absence of the celiac genes. There is scientific evidence of varying levels of villious atrophy. There...

    I got other posts to show up, but I may have had slightly different search terms than you did. Even after search engines re-index, there are cached pages out there, so nothing is guaranteed. This is the reason to never ever post anything that you don't want on the web. It may be there forever. Don't forget that other search engines may have different...

    your post also has your first name in it, which may be part of the problem. getting 'unfound' in a search engine is *very* hard, particularly since there are cached (saved) versions of files (in their old state) all over the place. additionally, people refer to you by your first name quite often around here.

    Being dairy intolerant myself, I wonder if that's causing problems for you (it exacerbates my headaches). I'm with you on the migraines - mine last for days (12 hours? ha!), and would occur far too often. Using a daily preventative has helped tremendously, but I don't know if it can be compounded. Good luck.

    Based on the controversy, I'd encourage you to go to pubmed.com yourself and read the studies related to gluten going through breastmilk. There aren't a lot, but there are a few.

    Glad to hear you have power back! We were only out for a little under 24 hours (I know, lucky us - we seem to be in some special spot just south of Bellevue that was luckier than half of Bellevue). We had a holiday party on Saturday, so I'm glad it did come back on, because everyone thought we were cancelling!

    You're trying to reverse damage that tooks months if not years, and nutritional deficiencies that took just as long to develope. 5 weeks is not enough time for your intestinal villi to entirely regrow and absorb all the nutrients to replenish your stores and bring you back up to normal levels. Definitely need more time.

    lol... I would prefer a doctor who would be that up front - over the phone. Of course, the important thing to realize is that the chances are very, very low. But, like all relationships, everyone's needs are different, and if this approach does not work for you, good for you for looking for a new doctor! Yes, if you're still having problems, look at...

    Congrats! It really seems to amaze people to serve them a full gluten free meal, but it really can be so simple.

    "odd man out" is a frame of mind, and you'll feel less that way if you can adjust your perspective. I know it seems kinda silly, but it is true. sure, you're eating different food, but there are a hundred other ways that you can be just the same. (though, I don't know it's so fabulous to be just the same. ;-) ) you can partake in the same conversations...
