    I'll have Open Original Shared Link occasionally, but I've gotten tired of them, and don't like the low amount of protein they tend to have. I do enjoy Open Original Shared Link, and they have more protein than the Larabars. I also like the Open Original Shared Link, though those are also just fruit and nuts. I've also recently found Open Original...

    I'm a fan of Spice Hunter's Fajita Seasoning for things like that.

    While it's not so much the typical reaction these days, when I had been eating gluten continuously (before going gluten-free), I didn't get D, I got C.

    I also found that I didn't really need anything like that. The important ingredients to steer clear of are a fairly short list, and, like Merika, I also eat a pretty unprocessed, "whole foods" diet, so it's not been much of a concern. I do keep the Silly Yaks restaurant guide on my computer, but that's about it. Do what works for you!

    So far, what I've done, after being CF for a year and a half, is to try water buffalo yogurt (as someone here recommended), and waited four days to see if I had any reaction. Then I tried goat's milk yogurt, and waited four days to see if I had any reaction. Then I tried cow's milk yogurt, and waited to see if I had any reaction. I may have had a bit of...

    As with anything, read the label. Most mayonaisses are gluten and dairy free, but I've seen one or two with dairy. There's no way you can generalize to an entire type of food that can be produced with a variety of ingredients.

    Perky's Nutty Rice. As a bonus, it's good for making muffins too! :-)

    You need to find out the standard ranges from the lab who did your blood work. Different labs have somewhat different methodology, and hence have different reference ranges.

    rice noodles - the thread style. good for so many things, including the fastest soup-for-dinner you've ever made from 'scratch'. (Broth, bag of small, frozen, cooked shrimp, rice noodles.) rice-paper, for making spring rolls. (you'll probably find it next to the rice noodles.) and peruse the sauces. the labeling may identify when ones are gluten...

    Replaced versus given up? Bread, I've mostly given up on. The sort of bread I want (homemade crunchy french bread, or fresh chewy foccacia) is the sort of thing that needs the chemical properties of gluten to make, and I'm not sufficiently happy with the alternatives. They aren't *bad* necessarily, just not what I'm looking for, so no need to bother...

    What I primarily take is a trip to my ortho's office, followed by a trip to the physical therapist. :-P If they're still hurting, I'd urge you to have them evaluated carefully, *including* by a physical therapist. (A PT was the one who caught my *slight* pronation, which the ortho didn't expect to aggrivate my knee problems, but he was willing to try orthotics...

    I take whichever one is appropriate for the situation. Ibuprofen and naproxyn sodium are good anti-inflammatories and have cox-2 effects, so I use them for inflammatory pain (tendonitis, my knees, etc.) and for cramps (the uterine pain receptors are cox-2). Tylenol wouldn't do much for these pains. For very high fever, I generally use acetominophen, though...

    Celiac can cause a lot of secondary symptoms, and until you've got the diet firmly established, it's hard to say what is and what isn't being caused by it. At least you now know for sure you need to be completely gluten-free. I would encourage you to stick to unprocessed, naturally gluten-free, whole foods (fresh fruits/veggies/meats/eggs/beans/gluten-free...

    You're chance of it being a false positive are incredibly low. They look for blunted villi, and though there are papers published that show a handful of cases (in the world) where dairy has caused villi blunting with a similar pattern, it's is virtually ALWAYS cased by gluten. The fact that your immunochemistry ALSO shows that your body is reacting to gluten...

    Dairy. My current testing (dietary testing) is making me thing: 1) it's primarily cow's milk that's a problem, 2) it's not as much of a problem as it used to be, and 3) this dietary testing stuff ain't so easy! ;-)

    Don't forget that these are only two of the many genes that are implicated in celiac disease. These are only the two that are known about. 1-2% of biopsy proven celiacs have neither gene, and then there's the whole spectrum of "gluten intolerance" that doesn't show up positively (easily) on biopsies.
  17. tarnalberry
    Blood tests and biopsies are highly likely to give false negatives if you haven't been eating significant quantities of gluten every day for three months. So you'd have to go back on that for testing. Some doctors will only give a formal diagnosis with biopsy results, and then you depend upon the samples being taken in the right place and the person reading...

    Hahaha! No, I switched from bio to physics, so no bio research for me. I just think it'd be cool if "they" did that kind of research. Perhaps in a decade or so, when more gene therapy research has been done. It just seems to me a better way to go than pills that interact with the gluten.
  19. tarnalberry
    That is absolutely fabulous! I'll bet no one felt deprived either!
  20. tarnalberry
    I don't think that enough research has been done to give you a conclusive, scientific, evidence based answer on that. So, really, the answer is "no one knows for sure". But chances are, if it operates in a similar fashion to celiac disease, then yes. Once that gene's "turned on" and starts being expressed, it doesn't get turned off. That'd be great (and...

    I could most certainly be wrong, but I thought there was one variety of Ragu that had gluten? Same thing with tomatoes (like the Contadina paste with Italian spices). And you might want to stop going to that restaurant for a month to see if it makes any difference. And I also second the idea of trying to remove any foods you don't make yourself. I know...

    I know it can be tough. I'll be heading to Vail for skiing next week, and sharing a condo with a bunch of former coworkers, and will also find the food thing tricky. What I've done was pack a bag full of food (much like for backpacking, so it's small - I hope to avoid checking luggage). It's mostly stuff you've mentioned - bars, pretzles, nuts - but I...

    I have to have something to fill up my time while my husband plays computer games?? :-P

    you can't *know* for sure, because of the process. as the grain sprouts, it uses up the energy stores that it's been holding - that includes the protein. it appears that what it gets metabolized into (the final, fully mature blade) does not contain the same proteins. but, when dealing with things made from wheat grass, you have to ask: is the blade fully...

    Tonight, I'm baking cubed turkey breast with carrots, cauliflower, potatoes, bell pepper, and onion, tossed in olive oil and seasoned with minced garlic, italian spices, and salt. Day before yesterday was chicken soup (chicken thighs, onion, carrots, brown rice, broth). The day before that was a stir-fry with shrimp, bean sprouts, sugar snap peas, chili...
