    Even if celiac, one incident is almost certainly not going to cause a miscarriage. The troubles with celiac and pregnancy come from untreated celiac, not contamination lapses.

    Carbonara Inspired Pasts (no dairy) Serves 4-6 Ingredients 1 pkg pasta (I like spirals, pick your favorite gluten-free brand) 1 lb thick-cut, apple smoked bacon 1 red bell pepper 1 apple 2 carrots 1/2 onion 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper 1 bunch kale (I recommend lacinato kale) 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar Directions 0. Cook the pasta as directed...

    What about making just the filling? Apples, cinnamon, brown sugar, a touch of lemon juice and a touch of cornstarch, baked in the oven. We make this dessert ALL the time. You can even add a crumb topping (gluten-free flour mixed with cold butter with a bit more cinnamon and brown sugar!)

    As long as he's eating a couple servings of barley or rye every day, the testing should be as accurate as it ever is (which isn't saying a lot...).

    Allergy tests look for IgE-mediated responses. Celiac is mediated by different immune molecules - IgG and IgA in particular. They are two totally different things.

    LOL, still a long time between posts. Cranberry Lemon Quinoa Salad ---------------------------- Ingredients: 2 cups quinoa, rinsed 4 cups water 2 lemons (1 zested, both juiced) 1 cup arugula, finely chopped 1 small red onion, very finely diced 2 carrots, grated 1/2 cup pumpkin seeds 1 cup dried cranberries 1/4 cup olive oil...

    And that's totally his choice, regardless of what anyone else thinks about it. He's not guaranteed that it would be happier, of course, but no one (celiac or not) is. That said, the risk of nutritional deficiencies is not a rarity, particularly if they have confirmed intestinal villi damage. Totally MOO (my own opinion) - he should give it a real chance...

    Yes, but I've been gluten-free for ages, and I'm fairly certain it wasn't that at all. I live in the pacific northwest and most of us (if not significantly supplementing) are either deficient or borderline.

    He increases his risk of intestinal cancer, lymphoma (blood cancer), other autoimmune diseases (such as rheumatoid arthritis and hashimoto's), increased risk of osteoporosis (yes, in men too), and - on average - will reduce his life span by 10 years, and quality of life (particularly later in life) significantly, and in ways that may not be able to be corrected...

    1) cornstarch doesn't taste "inferior" to me. maybe it's a matter of what you're used to. maybe it's just the base you started with. (maybe the cornstarch wasn't thoroughly cooked...) if you say this based on what someone has told you, you might just try using cornstarch yourself. (I didn't know you *could* use wheat flour until I was much older, as...

    Honestly, it most sounds like nerve pain - which is often caused by a compressed disk in your spine. It can come and go depending on what you have done/are doing with your back if it's been injured (which you may or may not know about!)

    Another reason to ALWAYS read labels. If they were trying to make it very stew specific, they may have dusted it with flour. Most plain meat does not have any added ingredients, but stores MAY add ingredients if they label them.
  13. tarnalberry
    This exactly! You can request a copy of your old tests, but I'd also get new ones - from whomever you like, really, but you may decide you want a followup with a GI anyway.
  14. tarnalberry
    Keep in mind that even 10% of celiacs DO react to oatmeal because the protein in oats is similar to that in wheat. Even if they don't, the research recommends no more than half a cup of oats a day for a celiac.
  15. tarnalberry
    I should clarify - it's too early to TELL (determine) if it is an allergy, because she's got all of one data point. It certainly COULD be an allergy or celiac even at this age, but there's no way of KNOWING this based on nothing more than the information she has so far. Hence, she needs to do some "experimenting" to figure it out.

    I'm pretty sure that numerous doses of antibiotics for repeated respiratory infections over nine months is what triggered by celiac disease. So, if you feel it started at that time, there's no reason to discount your instinct. I can't tell you about the poop specifically, but if you feel like it's worth trying the diet, I totally support that. Testing...

    It's more likely a sensitivity to something difficult to digest with such a young digestive system. It's way too early to tell if it's even an allergy, or celiac. But you're doing the right thing - take it out for a while (you could even wait another month) and then try again. You don't have to feed him any commercial baby foods - they taste pretty nasty...

    I would strongly encourage you to try making her food, and possibly avoiding grains (especially one as refined and blood-sugar imbalancing as rice cereal) for early foods. Babies just don't need it! We started with sweet potatoes (we did baby-led weaning, so we didn't even do purees), but you could start with just about anything you think she could handle...

    How long have you been trying? How long have you been gluten free? Have you been tested for any vitamin deficiencies? Do you chart your cycle so that you know if/when you ovulate, how long your luteal phase is, and if you are experiencing chemical pregnancies that don't stick? Do you have any other medical issues that compound the issue? There's SO...

    There is no where else you can send him that won't be a punishment. Being excluded from what your classmates are doing (*especially* a party) is going to be seen as punishment. (Been there, done that when I was in school. It sucked, and affects how well he integrates into the student culture.) Definitely work on teaching them both what they can and can...

    Better yet, skip the baby foods, do BLW (baby led weaning) and feed the kiddo the same foods that you would eat. Age appropriate, of course, but that doesn't necessarily mean purees! (We never did purees with our daughter. Jarred, pureed baby food was introduced when formula took over really strongly and they found that it didn't have everything a baby...

    I live near Seattle. We've got a Starbucks on every corner and I go there off and on. I've never had a problem. But they are like ANY shared facility (including your house if you have gluten in it, ever) and cannot GUARANTEE that there won't be cross-contamination. Make intelligent choices and it's really not an issue. (I hate coffee. Straight hot...

    But how can you provide reproduce-able studies if you don't have flow charts and algorithms? I think a lot of the newer generation doctors forget that there is as much art to being a physician as there is science.

    Dairy causes me constipation.
  25. tarnalberry
    If you've got a shared house, you need to be really strict about contamination before assuming it's not gluten. If you're still eating dairy, know that lactose intolerance's primary symptoms are significant bloating (which causes intestinal cramping as the gas tries to move through your system) and flatulence (which may come out "slowly" enough to not perceive...
