    There are trace amounts of casein in butter. (Remember 0g on a nutrition label doesn't mean NONE. It means less than 0.5g per serving.) That said, some people who are casein intolerant do fine with moderate amounts of butter (I seem to, and I know I'm not the only one). It depends on how sensitive you are. (I'm assuming a 'standard' casein intolerance...

    ALWAYS read the label, regardless of any list or affirmation you have from anyone. Ingredients can and do change. Googling the Chocolate Peanut Butter one leads to this ingredient list: Ingredients are gluten free, but some people choose to avoid shared buildings. Googling the Fudge Graham one leads to this ingredient list: Ditto.

    Drink lots of water, maybe some ginger or peppermint tea, take probiotics, get plenty of rest, eat simple and easily digested foods (stay away from processed foods). That's about it...

    I've read it in too many newspapers, online news agencies, and medical websites (like CDC's) to give you a single source. Here are a couple from googling it: Open Original Shared Link (third section down), Open Original Shared Link (about half way down), and the numerous news articles discussing the controversy over having less H1N1 vaccine available versus...

    we used a recipe for dutch apple pie topping - 1 stick butter, 2/3 cup sugar, 1 cup flour. I'd probably reduce the sugar and flour in that a touch. made enough for two pies.

    the chocolate I usually do (Gluten-free Casein-free) is: straight up chocolate bars (dark, of course, and *good* quality, NOT Hershey's) hot chocolate (cocoa powder, milk sub, agave/honey/sugar, vanilla) chocolate chip banana muffins (I use Tropical Source chocolate chips, myself)

    In the US, there is no adjuvant added to the H1N1 vaccine at this time.

    the roasted potatoes and beets could have cooked longer... It went quite well.

    Yes. Some labs see "some blunting" and say "oh, there's nothing wrong here". Some will dx with less damage. It's subjective, and if you haven't tried the gluten-free diet at this point, I highly recommend giving it a go.

    The cranberry-apple sauce was a hit, as was ... well, everything else. The pumpkin pie "ice cream" turned out really well too.

    Depending on her personality, you may find she prefers to be indoors with you guys - even if it's napping on the floor (or underfoot) during 'class time'. Neo is home with me during the day, and even if I'm doing something else (cleaning, reading, etc.) he much prefers to be inside, best where he can see or hear me, most of the time. (He also really loves...

    Unfortunately, you're still missing codetalker's point - getting glutened once a month to once every other month is tantamount, from an "effect of celiac disease on life expectancy" to not following the gluten free diet at all. I've done plenty of traveling gluten free, and never got glutened, myself. (This was both work and personal travel.) To strictly...

    the equivalent of three slices of bread a day for three months.

    sometimes fibro and celiac are connected, but they don't have to be. if you haven't tried any supplements for fibro, I'd look into them. (we talked about them earlier in the thread, and doing plenty of research before you decide what to try is a good idea. malic acid has a lot of research behind it, and there are a few others that have some solid backing...

    If you haven't specifically worked with your doctors on this one, I would HIGHLY recommend it. You might start with a GP, but if you can self-refer, you might just start with a neurologist. It could be something as simple as crystals in the ear canal (they screw with balance/dizziness), but it might not be.

    I have a "shared" kitchen. There is a toaster and cutting board that are used for gluten-items on the "dirty dishes" counter, and a cupboard section I can hardly reach anyway that's used for gluten-containing things like oats, granola bars, and boxed cereal. For us, the only people who every stay with us are my in-laws, and they get it. Even my MIL...

    Eh, when my MIL had Thanksgiving with her side of the family (also full blooded Italian), ravioli (homemade, of course) was a required dish.

    alphawave, with stubborn people, family or not, close or not, I find that explanations are worthless. They're so self-centered on having a meal, an experience, their own way, that they can't possibly adapt to a new situation. I don't give them the option to be that selfish, or the opportunity for discussion. If it comes down to it, I will do something...

    I mostly just get frustrated at myself when I keep pronouncing anemone as "anenome". Every since I was a kid, ah-nen-oh-mee, sounded right, and ah-nehm-oh-nee was hard to pronounce. Unfortunately, as we have a reef tank, which has four anemones in it, this actually does come up frequently!

    the celiac reaction is self-sustaining in the gut for about two weeks, so no, you're not crazy. I generally take a week to stop noticing effects, and I'm one of the faster ones to recover. Keep eating healthy, and Gluten-free Casein-free, and if you haven't already had your vitamin/mineral levels checked, try to do that as well.

    Since I'm gluten and dairy intolerant, if I don't know the people well, I want to do the least explaining possible. I'll generally start with "I have a number of dietary restrictions. It's far easier for everyone if I just bring my own food." And I'm very clear that it is, indeed, easier that way. I don't even intone that the last statement there is a...

    I'm going to go with the choice you're unlikely to take - tell them, and then bring your own food. Unless you never talk to them, tell them yourself. Otherwise have your boyfriend. Be upfront, but brief about it. Something along the lines of "I would love to enjoy your company for Thanksgiving. As I've not been feeling well, and don't want to take any...

    Buckwheat is gluten free. It's not even related to wheat - it's an unfortunately named fruit, actually. My friends and I are pretty sure that the white and pink flower you see in Open Original Shared Link is actually wild buckwheat (before it fruits).
