    Thank you so very much! Sometimes I feel like I'm only now getting my feet back on the ground after 5 years of craziness and this celiac thing just kind of got tossed onto the pile of craziness. My sister and niece had been my celiac ambassadors when we first got our diagnosis, sending recipes, advice, and gluten free care packages - but in the past year...

    I've got my son's results! I discovered that I posted about them once before, a long time ago, and didn't really get much response. (I still need to find my own.) Tissue Transglutaminase AB, IGA 25H (less than 4 means no antibody detected) Gliadin (Deamidated) AB (IGA) 6 (less than 20 antibody not detected) Gliadin (Deamidated) AB (IGG...

    Thank you so much for your replies. No, the doctors for all three of us were different doctors. My niece had a regular family practitioner, but my son and I see naturopathic physicians - though the tests were the traditional blood serum tests that are recommended, no crystals! From what I can remember about the endoscopy discussion, I think it was basically...

    I need some advice, please! I had a blood test done for Celiac about 4 years ago and my doctor told me I tested positive for Celiac. I also had my three year old tested and he too had positive results. (I also have a niece who was diagnosed the same way prior to my getting tested). Long story short, I accepted these results and my son and I have been living...

    This will probably sound like a silly question but bear with me! My children and I all have celiac, therefore, my outnumbered husband stays pretty much 100% gluten free at home, making our entire home gluten free. Holiday entertaining is about to begin here, and I have a large group coming next weekend. I would like to keep it simple and order out pizza....

    Thank you! He does want her to do a gluten challenge, but since she's about to start the school year, she is going to wait until next summer. I guess what the GI doctor had told was that she only scored positive in the test he considered the weakest indicator of celiac. So I guess I was just curious If my sons results were similar to hers. I need to contact...

    Quick background - This test was done in 2014. I had just been diagnosed with Celiac myself (via bloodtest) and so my doctor suggested we test my then 3 year old as well. He did the bloodtest and my doctor said he had it as well. I had just had a baby and my life was totally nuts at that moment so I said thank you, and our home has been gluten free ever since...

    I have a one year follow-up appointment next week with my doctor who doesn't believe any follow-up is necessary! And to be honest, I don't even know which tests exactly I'm supposed to request, and what kind of results are expected/acceptable after the first year. I know my doctor is not going to know, because like I said, she believes if I'm following a...

    Oh, and I'll also add that the mistake I made the first couple of times was taking "low heat" very literally and only turning my stove on "low." This resulted in a sticky mess. Once I started cranking up the heat a little I started getting perfect playdough every time. Another benefit of playdough with white rice flour is that the playdough comes out pure...

    I know what you mean, we pay a lot too. But I guess I feel like I'm asking the teachers to go a little out of their way to protect my son, so I'll go a little out of my way too. Not to mention, my son loves playdough so this keeps a fresh supply going in our house as well. I just buy the ingredients in bulk on vitacost. And even though we pay a lot for his...

    I agree with everything already said, but one thing I'm wondering, do you have any skin issues? Some of us have DH, or other celiac skin conditions, and in those people (like me), very few or no digestive symptoms can be present. This was something that took me a while to figure out post-diagnosis, and my doctor was clueless about. Also, perhaps your symptoms...

    I am "playdough mom" at my son's preschool! I provide a fresh batch of gluten free playdough to his preschool every two weeks. The teachers love the donation of time and supplies, and I don't have to think twice about my son getting glutened via playdough. I couldn't tolerate gluten playdough in his classroom. All those gluteny little hands touching all...

    I have a bottle of elderberry syrup for my celiac kids (supposed to help boost immune system because they're catching EVERYTHING this winter!) and I noticed that it contains "Pure grain alcohol." I'm so confused about alcohols and what is and is not okay. Because it is "pure" grain alcohol, does that make it gluten free and safe? I'd love to start giving...

    Just an FYI - Seventh Generation dish soap actually says Gluten Free right on the bottle.

    Kitchen size is a huge problem for me too, which is why I've never seriously considered one. But with all the Black Friday/Cyber Monday deals coming up, I'm wondering if I should make the leap and get creative with kichen space!
