    I'm a fan of Coppertone's one with the zinc oxide, as well as California Baby's sunblock. (That last one's kinda pricey, though.)

    A recent article on this suggested, in order to reduce the chances of an at risk child developing celiac disease, to introduce wheat between four and six months old. Definitely not before, and not after. Of course, you'll want to stay on a strictly gluten-free diet.

    If the stools have blood IN them, not just ON them, or if the blood is very dark, please see your doctor ASAP. It may not be terribly serious, but it may be, and it's not something to wait around with. (If it's just ON them, but you don't feel like it's hemmhroids, or even if you do, it's always best to check with your doctor.)

    All of the whole, natural, unprocessed foods in regular grocery stores are safe. It's being reliant on prepackaged, processed stuff that makes the diet change tricky. But don't worry, cooking doesn't have to be hard! The VAST majority of my cooking isn't done from "recipes" - they're convenient ways of passing cooking on to someone who can't be in your...

    There's another post "sponsors" that I responded on with some tips, and there are a number of old posts with suggestions, but basically, the cheapest way to go is to not buy specially prepared packaged gluten-free food. You pay a premium for it, and if money's an issue, it's not a premium you want to pay. Almost all natural, whole, unprocessed foods are...

    lol, viola, I haven't made your eyes glaze over with my repeated "just make it from scratch" advise yet?! :-) :-D dressings and dips are always better homemade. :-)

    one option is simply to forgo the expensive items. you don't need bread to have a healthy diet. or special cookies for that matter. it may take some creativity and time, but you can make a healthful, well rounded died from fresh, natural ingredients. corn tortillas can take the place of bread in many instances, and are cheaper, per calorie, than bread...

    some things I've taken on a picnic: * deviled eggs * potato salad * coleslaw * fruit salad * hot dogs/sausages * sandwhiches (use gluten-free bread) * veggies with dip * cucumber salad

    Yep - I called them too - and they've gotten a couple calls about this one, apparently. Zithromax, at least, is most definitely gluten-free. The gluten contained in the tablet form is from corn, which is safe for celiacs. I hope the company takes this issue to her, as it's going to do rather a great diservice to the general population.

    eat anything and everything that you can keep down alright. peanut butter avocados chicken rice soup (add some olive oil) (it really is easy to make from scratch - even if you're sick, though maybe not in the heat of the worst part of the flu!)
  11. tarnalberry
    Nope, not in the US. There may be some products that are imported here that make use of CAW, but I've never seen any myself.
  12. tarnalberry
    Do call the company, or even better, the particular location you'll be at, on Monday and ask to speak with the manager and/or chef. It's the best way to go.

    Enterolab does not "diagnose" celiac disease itself, as they do not do a biopsy. (Dr. Fine plays it safe with his terminology here.) But it still means you need to avoid gluten.
  14. tarnalberry
    While it could affect the result of a biopsy, I do not _think_ it will affect the result of a blood test. You may want to do some additional net research on the subject, however, and try calling a couple of the more reputable labs to ask their staff that question.

    mariann, you can always eliminate the soy sauce from the spices I use above. (it's not making a separate sauce, it's just throwing those spices in the wok with the stuff I stir-fry.)

    In small "doses", that's actually a perfectly normal feeling. If it's overwhelming and distracting from your normal life in how often it occurs, then it's worth talking to your doctor about neurologic problems.

    I just take any set of cut up meat and vegetables (a colorful variety, of course, chinese food is about pleasing the eyes, teeth, and tastebuds), and use some combination of the following: * San-J soy sauce (~2 tbsp) * lemon juice (~1 tsp) * Thai Kitchen's Chili Paste (~1-2 tbsp) * Thai Kitchen's Chili Sauce (~1 tsp) * ground ginger (~1/4 tsp) * fresh...

    Yeah, aflotoxin can be a problem if companies don't clean their peanuts, but they're all required to test for it.

    tarnalberry replied to Emme999's topic in Doctors

    It's interesting that, on the other hand, a number of good orthopaedists DON'T drug you up for common problems. So there may be an exception to the rule, based on the fact that so many doctors who are decent with such issues (tendonitis, sore muscle, sprain/strains, etc.) really do only prescribe non-prescription modalities (ice, rest, heat, OTC anti-inflammatories...

    A couple things to consinder: * You could have caught a bug - going gluten-free certainly won't prevent that. :-D * As noted, you might not be getting enough nutrients - particualrly if you're relying on packaged products. * You've got an additional food sensitivity that is coming to light because you're consuming more of that item now. (Dairy?) * Cross...

    "Bone Suckin' Sauce" is gluten-free and tasty.

    the links are particularly pointing to the success of new methods for developing viable stem cells lines much more easily than in the past. stem cell treatment is generally aimed at making modifications to a disease state at the genetic level, so auto-immune conditions are going to be chemically among the easiest to address in this fashion, because of the...

    what about the real maple syrup?! ;-) actually, I prefer fruit preserves on my pancakes... :-D
  24. tarnalberry
    Have you tried explaining that it's genetic? Perhaps that will make it easier for them to understand that it's permanent.

    I'm not a big fan of facial lotions (I'm 26 with the propensity for the acne of a 16 year old), but I do like Alba's Aloe and Green Tea moisturizer. (It's really just about the only one I like.) It's very lightweight, and doesn't have any sunblock (I have an "indoors and no windows" job), so it might not be up your alley, but it's the only one I've tried...
