    One reason there is so much skepticism about Dr. Fine's tests (and I'm still a skeptic), is that he doesn't not publish studies for peer review or share his process with the medical community. The responses from him that have been posted on the question that I have read imply the belief that other doctors should just believe him without going through the...

    You might look into using talk therapy to address the anxiety since you don't really want to take medication (and I don't blame you). But it may help you get to the point where you don't feel so anxious and embarassed.

    yep, but it looks to be structural, based on the MRI, so I don't think - in my case - it's necessarily connected.

    You'd have to call the company and find out if their "natural flavor" has a gluten-containing grain in it as a carrier.

    California rolls are fine - if and only if they're made with real crab. (Wild Oats uses real crab, but Trader Joe's uses fake krab.) Most wasabi is fine, but you have to check the label. Heck, most wasabi isn't entirely wasabi, and some of it as no real wasabi in it. I like the kind you mix yourself from a powder, so you can control the consistency. ...

    All dairy products - and a lot of products that aren't specifically dairy - have casein. I think, technically, butter does too. Casein is a milk protein, and what gives yogurt and kefir it's protein content. They are often on "ok" lists because they are both cultured products, which means that bacteria have been added which convert the lactose into it...

    Honestly, it's probably easiest for the shared family meals to be gluten-free. It's not that hard, and it doesn't mean you don't have bread or other things yourself, just not food that you share with her. When my husband and I have kids, I expect that aside from bread, even the non-celiacs will eat what I cook! ;-) I know lots of people do make two meals...

    An IgA deficiency is not uncommon for celiacs. I'm surprised they didn't run the tTg, and IgG's as well - they're part of a full celiac panel. Really, getting the full panel shouldn't be a problem from the doctors (though you may need to go in with some research about the best testing, and order them to request it so that they are not found negligent),...

    It's still there - it's just on the previous page.

    what kind of oil did you use? different kinds of oil have different smoke points - and even different processings of the same type of oil have different smoke points. Open Original Shared Link tells the smoke point of common oils - myself, I often use refined canola for frying (the whopping two times I've tried it - I have a heck of a time keeping the temperature...

    I actually prefer Nature's Path Cornflakes to regular corn flakes. The flakes are a bit thicker and have more bite, I think. I also like Nature's Path's Mesa Sunrise (and it comes in the "economy" bulk bag).

    I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'm on a business trip in Detroit, and barely made it to the Whole Foods in Troy after picking up my rental car last night, but was so happy to have a store like that be such a large chain that I can fly four hours and still KNOW that I'll be able to get gluten-free pasta, and gluten-free cereal, and other stuff I get at home that...

    Well, he probably suggested a biopsy, because that's the "gold standard" for dx'ing celiac. (And count yourself lucky... running blood tests for celiac doesn't seem to be standard in most of the US!) I haven't had a biopsy, I went off of blood tests alone. But the thing is, depening on your symptoms - and they vary as much as IBS symptoms can - keeping...

    oh definitely... making your own gluten-free jerky is pretty easy - though it'll take 3-4 days to do it.

    I don't think you're back to the very beginning - it can take years for the full amount of damage to develop. It's a set back, sure, but one accident... I don't see any reason to worry about being back at the starting gate of this. Try not to worry too much - accidents happen even when we try really hard. It's best to do what you can to avoid them, but...

    dried fruit! don't even need a cooler for it!

    Food for Life's breads, I find to taste just fine - but I've only ever tried their fruit juice sweetened breads with peanut butter and jelly.

    khyricat, you reminded me of two things: 1. stuffed tomatoes (or stuffed peppers, zucchini, mushrooms, or anything like that) - with the stuffing often made from rice (I like brown rice), spices, and veggies, and the optional toping of cheese, these are pretty quick and easy recipes with leftover rice. 2. fish - I totally agree on the "fresher is better...

    I think the first thing I'd go for is rice, and rice noodles. there are so many things that you can make - salads (I'm big on bean salads during the warm months...) and one pot dishes (like chili, and stir fries) and desserts like peanut butter on apples... Keep reading around here (I posted recently a big long list of the types of food I've been having...

    yep, you usually add just a little tiny bit of water to get it to the consistency you want. milk is fairly common, but I've used orange juice for the flavor of it as well.

    you may want to investigate other grains. buckwheat is low GI, and is supposed to be particularly good for diabetics. millet, quinoa, teff, and other kinds of rice (brown and wild) both have much lower GI's than white rice. of course, having enough protein and fat with the starches will lower the glycemic load of the dish as well. other complex carbs...

    My symptoms have never been severe enough to keep me out of work or particularly at home for very long. (I don't get the bad diarrhea...) And they seemed to bother me more at some times than others. I used to think they were intermittent as well, but after going gluten-free, I realized that they were less intermittent than I thought (though not always...

    Aside from black bean sauce, I've had no real problems substituting gluten-free ingredients in Chinese recipes.

    Ah... gotta love my work. I found out today that I leave Monday for a week long meeting in Detroit. So... anyone familiar with the area... where should I get groceries? what gluten-free restaurants are in the area? Thanks!

    it just means to use a stainless steel pan, not an aluminum pan that could react to the acidity of the pineapple juice. annodized aluminum is supposed to be ok, but I've damaged one of my calphalon pans that way...
