    congrats! you're doing great!! It can often take 6-12 months for the levels to go to zero...and it can be even longer if you've been ill for a long time (like an adult). The key is that the trend is showing a dramatic drop in the IgA antigliadin levels...that's the one to watch, as it can respond quickly with an increase when gluten is in the diet. Have...

    I use rice flour usually to flour a pan - I find that cornstarch and potato starch clump a bit (especially if you flour after spraying with Pam). I will sometimes use cornstarch to flour a countertop when rolling out dough...usually I use whatever flour I am cooking with at the time though.

    Try making your own (see Bette Hagman's book for recipe)...then freeze the extras. I like this better than tinkyada (although I'm getting used to that too)

    Hi Charlotte- I'm a mom of 3 and the only celiac in my house... My advice...is make your dinners all gluten free...believe me, you're not depriving your family at all...gluten-free meals can be and usually are delicious and indistinguishable from nonGF meals. If you want to add something nonGF, then serve some rolls on the side (you can make your own gluten...

    Heather - is your daughter eating better now? I remember a post about how she won't eat anything at all... Sara

    Get a copy of your lab results and post them here...someone will be happy to interpret, I'm sure. I would hope that your GI doc knows more about how to interpret celiac labs, but don't be too sure! Also, do some research on what all the lab tests mean. (see www.celiac.com or www.clanthompson.com for good reviews on the topic)

    The almond meal provides the protein for the structure of the bread - you could try substituting dry milk powder or perhaps some soy (tofu maybe?). Just watch out for the total liquid content versus the dry.

    I agree with Jean...I developed my own recipe for bread - which I really love, but Manna from Anna is better! I have made hamburger buns and small sub sandwich rolls as well from this mix. I make 2 smaller loaves from the mix instead of one large one - you have slightly smaller size slices for sandwiches, but it makes the price not seem as high. Try it!

    I've posted this recipe before, but it's been modified a bit. I made many flops (usually collapsed loaves, like yours) before I came up with this one. You need to have enough structure to hold up the liquids. The only ingredients I think you'll need in addition to your list is almond meal (which you can grind yourself) and dry potato flakes (easily found...

    I had to laugh when I read your post! I've had that happen to me so many times. I had someone say to me once that a food didn't have any wheat, just flour! Hello, are people that uninformed? It makes you laugh and cry at the same time.... It also makes me more scared to eat out (although I do it all the time) Sara

    If you read the label on the GasX soft chews, under inactive ingredients, it lists starch.... Phazyme is another brand of simethicone - doesn't list starch - and is on the gluten-free meds list I have. CVS pharmacies list gluten-free status on many of their house brand OTC products. Walgreens does not...unfortunately. Sara

    Hi Valeried- I appreciate your interest in nutrition values...however, most of the recipes that I posted on this site are from my own creativity or modified from family recipes. I could possibly figure out calories, but other than that - there is no way for most people to get this info on carbs, etc. The cookbooks are your best option for that since they...

    Good point Tiffany! Most kids need multiple exposures to a new food before they are willing to accept it. I think for Heather, though, it's going to be more difficult because of Gabby's developmental issues. Sara

    Heather - don't cry, honey...it will get better - try to be patient! As a pediatrician and a mother of three kids, I can tell you that feeding a stuborn 2 year old is no fun... of course, you have down syndrome and celiac added on top of that which makes you feel completely overwhelmed, I'm sure. First of all, just looking at the photo of Gabby on your...

    I vote for manna from anna also. The best by far (but you have to make it from a mix) Sara

    I am so excited! I won this basket of gluten-free goodies at a celiac disease fundraiser last April and in it was a bread mix called Manna from Anna --I didn't try it for the longest time (because I usually don't like bean flours -which it uses, and also because it contains dairy-which I don't want in my breads due to our kosher kitchen) Anyway, when I finally...

    The best bread I have ever had - none even close (including my own recipes!) is Manna by Anna (see www. glutenevolution.com) it's a mix and its like soft wheat bread- I was only disappointed in that is has dairy in it (we keep kosher and I like my bread to be nondairy). They are coming out with a new mix that is non dairy soon...i can't wait! sara

    I had chronic problems with sacroileitis (~20 years on and off) that has virtually disappeared with the gluten-free diet (I use this as proof for me that the diet is worth it!- what a huge improvement in my life to not have back pain) Sara

    I saw a recipe for gluten-free goldfish crackers using chebe bread mix. It was on their website www.chebe.com under recipes. I believe you add chedder cheese to the mix and roll it out thin, and cut it into fish shapes (if you have the patience) I haven't tried it, but it sounds good. Sara

    CBC stands for complete blood count, eosinophils are a subset of the the white blood cells (which you need for attacking infections). A high eosinophil count (your CBC gave you the absolute #, and the % of the white cells- both are elevated) usually means either an allergic problem or a parasitic problem. Your doc can check for parasites by ordering a stool...

    my own two bits on the dietician issue....I found that by the time I actually got in to see the dietician, I knew more about gluten-free diets than she did!...spend some time on this site (see the main site index, it's easier to get the facts) get a couple of Bette Hageman's cookbooks and learn as you go. come back here for support. Good luck!

    breakfast is Rice twice cereal by Erewon or a granola bar by EnerG Lunch is hard - sometimes I make tortilla wrap sandwiches (I make my own tortillas and keep them in the fridge), sometimes a frozen gluten-free meal by Amy's meals, risotto or other rice dish, snacks are gluten-free pretzels, nuts, fruit, fruit leathers (from Trader Joes - only some...

    Hi donna - I also love the Kinnikinnick pizza crusts - best I've tasted to date, and so easy - from freezer to plate in 10-15 minutes. Last night I made Chebe bread into garlic bread - it was awesome! (my first try with chebe was when i was first diagnosed, and I didn't like the dense chewiness of it...this time I added a tsp of baking powder to the dry mix...
