    DD, who is three, gets what we get. I'll add a piece of fruit or some avocado, but I do not cook separate meals. We're omnivores, so she does eat a fair amount if chicken, but vegan things we eat (at dinner time, or either lunch or dinner) would be: Lentil soup Sweet potato fries Carrots or bell peppers and hummus Stir fry Breakfast for dinner (pancakes...

    You can't really do a single blood testto check for reactive hypoglycemia. Look it up - its an issue with not just the level of your blood sugar being too low (or high), but rather the characterization of how it changes over time in response to ingesting carbs. In some people, it's also partly the rate of change (how fast or slow the change happens) instead...

    You have an appointment in three days - I would keep her on gluten until then, and do everything you can to get her blood tests, but know that they aren't as reliable in kids. (Under two is the really difficult gae for blood tests.)
  4. tarnalberry
    No, unless you get a copy of yr tests and check, there is no reason to assume that they've checked for all of these things. And hypoglycemia is hard to test for on a single test (particularly reactive hypoglycemia, which could match some of those msymtptoms).
  5. tarnalberry
    Yes. Google hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia.

    Thank you for letting us know, Scott. My thoughts are with all her family and friends, especially the ones here. She will be missed.

    While I try to keep a large stock of frozen muffins in the freezer, fruit on the counter, and eggs in the fridge, there are times I need non-perishables. So, I always keep rice cakes, dried fruits and nuts in the pantry, and some variety of bar food (Lara, Pure Organic, Kind, etc.).

    Also, I don't know how often you wash your hair, but once a week - twice at the most - conditioning most days is better than washing every day.

    Honestly, I mostly skip the flours/breads. What I do use I buy in bulk and have shipped. (I use almond meal and oat flour, since I can tolerate gluten-free oats, for most things. They aren't cheap, and if I were tight on money, I'd skip the flours.) We also mostly skip the pastas. Can you do lentils? Those have lots of uses and are also cheap. ...

    There are some apps that tell you if things are gluten free, but don't deal with prices. That's the hardest part - gluten free status changes often, but prices and availability change even more often than that! As for how to keep costs down? Buy whole, unprocessed, naturally gluten free foods. Buy a 5lb bag of bulk dried beans - gluten free, good source...

    If their LO shows signs of being celiac once he/she is here, then she well might have to go gluten free (gluten can pass through breastmilk, and if baby has it, it can manifest as failure-to-thrive, rashes, or just an unhappy and colicky baby). But even if baby has the genes, he/she may not have it triggered every, or for a long time. So, she probably shouldn...

    1) Find a 24 convenience store that sells nuts and bananas or apples. 2) Knock on a neighbor's door and see if they have a piece of fruit you can eat. 3) Don't eat, get up early the next day, and go shopping to fix the ridiculous state of food in the house. Ok, #3 is a little snarky, but also meant a lot seriously. If there is literally *NOTHING* in...

    Thinking abot this sort of problem as a programmer, I can say that it would certainly be doable, but it would not be super simple and would require regular maintenance, and the time it would take would probably mean that it would cost money to have an application or website like that.

    I think this is probably the only area I have a very slight disagreement with Peter. I have, once ever, found a ground beef, in "slab" form (not premade patties) at a grocery store which had wheat in it. Don't get me wrong - it was clearly listed as "hamburger meat", and not "ground beef" and it very clearly had an ingredient list on it. It was not...

    How long is your flight? Where are you staying? I live immediately south of Bellevue (as in, the city border is across the street), and there is a lot of gluten-free friendly stuff in the area. (More in Seattle, but you didn't specify where you are staying...)

    1st - you totally do not need to buy a mix for this sort of cake. It's flour and sugar, and most flours work just fine. 2nd - when I did angel food cupcakes for my daughter's second birthday, I used the egg yolks to make homemade ice cream. it was super yummy, and goes well with strawberries and angel food cake.

    The labeling laws do not require allergens to be specified in a separate "Contains ..." warning, only that it be called out in the ingredient list. You always have to read the ingredient list in order to determine if a processed food has gluten. Labeling laws, iirc - and please someone correct me if I'm wrong - do not require warnings about shared facilities...

    Salmon Cakes Serves 3-4 (makes 6 cakes) Ingredients ~12oz leftover salmon (or canned salmon, I would expect) 1 carrot, grated 2 shallots, finely diced (could sub ~1/4cup finely diced red, white, or yellow onion) 1 yellow or red bell peppe, finely diced ~1/4 cup finely chopped parsley ("a handful") 2-3 cloves garlic, crushed 2 eggs, blended 2...

    I don't think that "the world" is in agreement on monitoring celiacs when a gluten free diet is adhered to. Some docs want to monitor antibody levels somewhat regularly, and/or vitamin levels, and/or a few other things. Some docs will take the knowledge of one autoimmune condition into account when working with other issues that come up. Some docs don...

    Have you considered that this isn't a "reaction" to the food, but rather blood sugar swings that are causing the problems. Eating the way you described in your first post would make me feel like death lightly warmed over. Also, you could just have an intolerance to rice itself.

    I don't like canyon house as much as udi's and my daughter (not the gluten free one) has either a bagel or pb&j sandwich from udi's bagels or bread every day.

    My daughter CAN have wheat, though, so when I go off to teach yoga Saturday mornings, she has taken to asking daddy to have lunch "with wheat", since she knows she won't get it if I'm home. It's hilarious.

    While she's not too young to understand, she also doesn't have to deal with it every day, or REALLY live with it, since you are a friend, so it's going to be hard for her to internalize. That said, I don't find her behavior of offering bad - that's an excellent behavior! But not asking if you want it and respecting your answer (of no) is the problem. ...

    What I don't like about the article, and others like it, is that there is an implication that you shouldn't go gluten free - ever - without a formal diagnosis (be it celiac or non-celiac gluten intolerance). But that assumes that you can get appropriately tested and that you have a doctor that even believes in non-celiac gluten intolerance. I *DO* believe...
  25. tarnalberry
    Yup - I bring my food (and eat before hand).
