    since not all ice cream shops use the same ice cream, you would have to check the ingredients at the place you go. we can *never* assume that a whole class of prepared food is gluten free.

    I'd look up recipes and find one you like. Most of the ones I know are made with bacon, but I made a vegetarian one once that was essentially roasted potato (cubed) and a good italian dressing (plenty of garlic, herbs, and oil - some vinegar, but I used white balsamic so it didn't have the acidic taste). EDIT: Hah! I posted this while you posted your...

    yes, it could be a delayed reaction. and poisoning yourself is NEVER polite. other people can deal with you not eating their food so that you don't damage yourself. (pet peeve of mine, people expecting me to ignore what is best for me to make them feel more comfortable.)

    german potato salad! yum!

    There's another set of blog reports up for Golden Lakes Loop, a four day backpacking trip this past weekend. It starts here: Open Original Shared Link; there are five entries over four days. The food I took: 1) snackage for lunch/snacks 1) a bunch of random Gluten-free Casein-free bars - mostly clif nectar, bumble bars 2) a little bit of trail...

    I'm going to disagree with Gemini here - oats are not the fiber behemoth they are made out to be. A cup of cooked oatmeal has 4g of fiber. A cup of corn nibblets has just as much. A baked potato has just as much. An pear has 20% more. A cup of blackberries has almost twice as much. A cup of garbanzo beans has 150% more (10g). A cup of baked beans...

    The IgA test came back with an "inconclusive" (can't say yes, can't say no) according to their reference ranges. The IgG test came back with a positive. Given that you didn't have a total IgA test, in order to determine if you are generally IgA deficient, the IgA test is kinda useless (because it has no context). I can't see how a competent doctor would...

    they contain more than the RDA for iron (18mg female, menstruating) because they're intended for people trying to build their iron stores back up, so they *need* more than the RDA to rebuild stores. iron supplements like these should be taken under the direction of a doctor (and include periodic blood work) to make sure that someone doesn't run the risk...

    you may be one of the 10% of celiacs who reacts to oats? (assuming you used certified gluten free oats in the cookies, not something like quaker, in which case, I'd bet money on contaminated oats)

    while it is unlikely, what are the ingredients?

    I've eaten at the BelSquare PFChang's a number of times, and found it was just fine. The restaurant above them, ZTejas, also has a gluten free menu. I've eaten there once. A few blocks away, on the corner of 110th and 12th is a little sushi place, Rolls&Rolls Sushi Plus. GREAT sushi. There's a Whole Foods across the freeway on NE 8th (at...

    I presume nightshades include all members of the capsicum family? In which case, you're not going to find a substitute that really makes up for chili powder. But you can find a different flavor. For nightshade free taco meat, I'd use italian spices (particularly thyme and oregano), garlic, onion, cumin (it's a seed... how much you use varies significantly...

    Celiac disease is genetic - you have to have the right genes - but genetic disorders often require an environmental trigger, and celiac disease is no exception. It seems pretty clear that you don't know right now if he has celiac disase, but the genetic tests tell you he has the potential to have it (now, or in the future). As for further testing, he...

    If you experienced trouble breathing after eating peanuts, do NOT eat them again, and head directly to an allergist who can help you determine (SAFELY) if you have a peanut allergy. Difficulty breathing is a sign of anaphylaxis, and you don't have to have severe anaphylatic reactions to something for them to become severe the next time you eat the offender...

    we can't really tell you if they contain gluten without a full ingredient list. soy isn't gluten, but do they have barley malt? natural flavors (that is unlisted as to the source)? maltodextrin from wheat? it won't necessarily say "contains: soy, wheat" if the ingredient clearly labels the wheat. so what does the ingredient list read?
  16. tarnalberry
    what are the ingredients on both of these?

    *LOW* blood pressure is unlikely to cause a burst blood vessel. (*HIGH* blood pressure can.) I would *STRONGLY* encourage you to get in to the doctor as soon as you can. A SUDDEN change like this needs to be looked at sooner rather than later.

    It could be an issue of an overloaded term. Open Original Shared Link, and the pancreases attempt to pump out more insulin to the body that is becoming less responsive to it, touches on it. Hypoglycemia can be caused by a lot of different things, and over production by the pancreas prior to it giving up is only one of them. The other reason it's very...

    Two or three times a year. Pretty much always due to eating out (which I do, on average, once a month or so). I have a mixed kitchen, but it is limited where the gluten can go and what can come in.
  20. tarnalberry
    I find the answer totally unhelpful. What does "just short of gluten free" mean? Does it mean that they used barley malt, but only a little, so they think that it just has very little gluten, and is hence ok? (Which it wouldn't be.) Does it mean that they had contamination on the lines that caused there to be gluten? I would *guess* from the response...

    The reason that diabetics (baring crazy survive in the wilderness for a month scenarios) don't go into a hypoglycemic state without being on meds is because diabetes, by definition, means you don't have enough insulin to move the sugar out of the blood stream, so blood sugar levels *stay* high. Of course, you don't go from having plenty of insulin to having...

    I'll jump on the "you're overreacting when you don't need to" boat. If it was stool testing that showed your antibodies to be high... meh, ignore it for now. It takes (so Enterolab claims) a year for many people's stool antibody levels to go down on a gluten free diet. So if you're comparing a blood test result to a stool test result - well, that is a...

    additionally, most *white vinegar* isn't made from wheat anyway, but corn. not that some people don't have issues with vinegar itself, of course.

    jason, this is where you have to learn that you can only do the best you can, and can't be perfect. could something still go wrong? sure. but you could obey all the rules of the road and still get into a fatal car accident. heck, you could never drive and still be killed in a car (as a passenger) or by a car (as a pedestrian). *nothing* in life is guaranteed...

    Yes, eating gluten free for a couple of weeks could affect your testing. If you plan to go through with an endoscopy, you should indeed go back to eating gluten.
