    I have on vaguely similar but I HIGHLY encourage people to break from recipes and branch out, making creative modificaitons that please their tastebuds, so GO YOU! :-D

    are you still taking any adderall? if you haven't reduced your dosage, you may be absorbing more of it now that your intestines are healing, which is much the same as taking more. other than that. it may just be the change that feeling so much better brings, particularly in combination with his stress.

    Zero. Less than that. That fry recipe is half of their backbone, and it's not going anywhere. If this is a case of flavoring being extracted from wheat and put in the oil, chances are, it really is fine. I'm not saying to eat the fries, because we don't know this yet, but you *can* take the protein out of a grain - we just need to know how they're doing...

    You've taken out and replaced an ingredient - a very highly represented ingredient - that has a lot of flavor. It's just not going to taste the same afterwards. Instead of thinking of something to identically replace the banana bread you used to make, think of it as finding something different to put in the spot in your diet that banana bread used to fill...

    Estimates are that it takes, at most, the equivalent of 1/48th of a slice of regular white bread to cause intestinal damage. And don't forget that symptoms are not indicative of level of intestinal damage. 1) yes, you can get sick off of a grill that's had gluten if something is left behind that will get on your food 2) yes, you can get sick off from...

    So you made a poor decision. It kinda sucks, because you're feeling awful right now, and you know 'it's only your own fault', but you're in a lot of good company (we've all made some mistake - be it not carefully reading a label, choosing to eat something anyway, or some other non-celiac related poor decision), and it's something you'll remember the next...

    I agree - you can't make them get tested, or try the diet. You can invite them over and only have gluten-free items at your own house, of course, and can let them know that you're handling it well and it's been very helpful - and that may help them understand the true nature of the diet better, but other than that, there's not a lot you can do.

    make flax crackers. you can flavor them in different ways, and they're quite healthy and tasty!

    I think that's an *excellent* idea. I cook (Gluten-free Casein-free) for people all the time - sometimes large groups of people, sometimes people with other restrictions (no MSG, vegetarian, soy restrictions, picky, etc.), sometimes on very short notice, or a combination of the above, and pretty much everyone has loved the stuff I've made. (Aside from the...

    This is all well and good, but they need to release at least a bit of information about how they process the gluten out. CODEX wheat starch is "gluten free" (as in, less than 200ppm of gluten), due to processing, but not everyone is satisfied that it's safe to eat. They (the oil supplying company) needs to release this information and stop playing 'mommy...

    1. there could be cross contamination in all the pre-processed items you're getting. 2. tylenol with codein can cause hunger, exhaustion, and depression. 3. if you're getting too many simple carbs, without fat/protein to balance out the insulin reaction, you may be dealing with hypoglycemic symptoms.
  13. tarnalberry
    no, blood tests are not conclusive. if there isn't enough damage for the antibodies produced in the gut to make it into the bloodstream, you won't get a positive blood test result.
  14. tarnalberry
    You always have to check the ingredient label. Recipes for *anything* vary by manufacturer. I do not know of any almond milk that has either gluten or casein, but I would *never* make a blanket statement about a type of product.

    It would be hypocritical of me to support this family's action if I don't believe in it, and I don't. It would be closed minded of me to support them merely because they are celiac, without thinking about the ramifications of their actions. We should NOT support things we do not believe in.

    I have not had problems with them, but they have dairy, so I haven't had that particular variety.

    oh my... a horribly mean image came to mind... after she says that, since you're in the kitchen, find one of the sharp cutting knives, take a really deep breath, pretend to emotionally collapse, start crying, and say "you know, I suppose you're right. no pizza? no bagels? death is nothing. I'm sorry to make a mess of the kitchen, but you're right, I...

    No, but they *could* get away with a sign saying "We cannot guarantee any of our food is safe for those with food allergies."

    1. stick to the gluten-free diet and you won't have a higher risk than anyone else 2. most miscarriages that occur in statistics like that are ones that occur REALLY early, before most people know they are pregnant, and so that statistic no longer applies to your situaiton.
  20. tarnalberry
    if you have trouble with soy, that may be the culprit. there are a handful of soy free chocolates out there, by specialty makers. I don't know them, but a couple other people on the board do.

    It exagerates my hypoglycemic symptoms, so I generally avoid it. that's about it, though - I don't have a problem if I have small quantities of something with this ingredient on occasion.
  22. tarnalberry
    My point is that tests may not *give* a reading of 0ppm. Many tests are such that you can tell only if it has MORE than a particular amount, and NO numbers below that amount - you simply can't tell how much is in something if it's less than a particular amount in many cases.
  23. tarnalberry
    The safest way to go is to stick to things that are whole foods and naturally gluten free - produce, beans, gluten-free grains, meats, eggs/dairy. if something comes in a box or a bag, ALWAYS read the label; NEVER assume. if it's prepared/processed in any way, ALWAYS read the label; NEVER assume. (part of the reason for ALWAYS reading the label is that...

    ARCHIVED Well, I Finally Did It

    tarnalberry replied to danikali's topic in Doctors

    make sure to get plenty of fat and protein while you're eating your 'safe' diet. what you listed was almost all carbs, and ones that metabolize fairly quickly, which could be why you're not satisfied (blood sugar swings). if you can't have eggs, dairy, or nuts, then have plenty of chicken/beef/fish/pork/turkey, avocados, coconut, olive oil in the cooking...

    I think it's great that GM is putting out a 'mainstream' gluten-free cereal! And I think it's funny that I read the ingredients, saw "high fructose corn syrup, red 40, and blue 1" and decided I'd not buy them. And that made me realize that companies supplying gluten-free foods have a *tough* time because the gluten-free niche is split into those who...
