    This is why I think genetic testing for celiac disease is a waste of time, for the most part. It can't tell you that you have it, and it can't tell you that you don't. Given the current testing, it can't even tell you if you might get it in the future, because no one tests for all the known genes associated with celiac disease and we don't even know all...

    Granted, my daughter is only 1, and afaik she doesn't have celiac, but she eats what I eat, so she gets lots of: roasted veggies - especially sweet potato fries, roasted carrots (whole, 'cause they're fun to eat that way), zucchini, etc. stir-fry - veggies (like carrot, broccoli, mushrooms, etc.), chicken or beef that have been stir-fried, and the...

    Slightly off thread, but gluten doesn't denature until a bit over 600F, temperature wise. And it's a very difficult protein to denature sufficiently via other mechanisms. The reason that it's not *quite* as simple as "only thing one needs to do to make gluten ineffective" is that it's not the protein as a whole that celiacs respond to. It's a particular...

    vegetables, beans, lentils, gluten-free whole grains (like brown rice, amaranth, millet, quinoa)

    That's impressively childish. He didn't just major in asshattery, but got a doctorate in the subject!

    The Bakery on Main granola probably has oats, even if gluten-free. Have you determined if you react to gluten-free oats?

    They can test at most any age, but tests are notoriously unreliable under the age of 2. Additionally, if the baby isn't getting any gluten (from finger foods or through your breastmilk) the test is worthless - they can't see if she reacts to something until she is getting that something.

    Yes, birth can trigger celiac for babies just like it can for mothers. Yes, gluten is passed in breastmilk. (Look at the actual research and there really is no controversy about this one.) So, yes, it is possible that gluten is an issue. I hope you find that she does better with you on a gluten free diet as well! (Some babies are also quite sensitive...

    Look for places that specialize in raw foods. Take a look at Happy Cow and check out places that also do gluten free (it's sometimes listed).

    There is one theory that eating plenty (lots!) of protein can help reduce the risk of pre-e. (Not that it will keep you from getting it, but that it might help.)
  11. tarnalberry
    If you are not celiac, you do not need to be gluten free during hte pregnancy. IF the baby appears to have failure to thrive issues or other issues that suggestion digestive trouble, you would want to try going gluten free as it can be passed in breastmilk, but until then, you don't have to change your diet.

    Glad your feeling better!!

    While other issues may be causing it, I would definitely try the sleep referral, as poor sleep (not just quantity, but quality) screws with your body A LOT.

    I just can't eat too much of the stuff. (And now that I got a stomach virus after having made fake mac'n'cheese, I"m not sure I'll eat the stuff agian. )

    Leftovers! Even if originally served hot, they don't need to always be warmed back up and can be kept in a cooler bag. (Chicken soup is equally good cold as hot, imho. )

    There are a number of dairy and soy free chocolates, but most of them are the more expensive chocolates. The ones that come to mind at the moment are: Theo Cluizel Castelain (I don't remember the others at the moment) I understand Pacari is as well, but haven't tried it yet myself. If I'm ordering a bunch of chocolate, I generally get it through...

    It definitely could be. She should absolutely be tested!

    It may not say "gluten" in the ingredients, but would say wheat, barley, or rye. Either in the ingredient list or in the allergen statement immediately following it.

    BTW, you can use yoga to help relieve that pain of scoliosis and help prevent further degeneration. Surgery isn't the only option. (A well trained yoga therapist would be in order if you wanted to go that route, not just any ol' standard yoga teacher.)

    There is no way to know if small amounts of gluten will cause you a miscarriage. We do know that keeping the immune response active increases the risk of miscarriage, but whether or not that means you will actually have one, no one can say. The hidden sources ARE difficult. That's one reason eating simple, whole, naturally gluten free foods is the best...

    Toss the rice in a pot of (ample) water with a bag of frozen veggies (or any chopped veggies of your choice). When the rice is done, add the shrimp and cook until hot. Add some boullion and spices, and voila, the lazy (wo)man's soup.

    Did she say WHY he needed a diagnosis if he was showing improvement on the diet? Did she say why such a change on the diet wasn't sufficient evidence? Did she say why a return of symptoms on gluten after the reduction in them off of it wouldn't be enough for a diagnosis? And, more specifically, did she say WHY it was worthwhile to risk causing such extreme...

    I suspect, from the context, this was meant to be "There are a lot of foods that are said to be ANTI-inflammatory..."

    At nine days since being glutened, the autoimmune reaction is still occuring in your intestines. It can self sustain for about two weeks. Stay gluten free. It may takea a while to heal, but give it that time.

    The (H) indicates high. ALL your tests were positive. (The last one for total IgA is "normal" but is only used to indicate whether or not the other IgA tests are readable.)
