ARCHIVED Corn Tortillas
jnclelland replied to grantschoep's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I bought those for sandwiches until I discovered Breads From Anna. They're okay, but not great: the flavor is fine, but the texture is really chewy, and you can't roll them at all without breaking them. Slightly better if you heat them in the microwave for a few seconds, but still not great. Jeanne -
Hi, I'm a new member here. I've had a rash for many years, mostly on the knuckles of my right hand, that got much better when I stopped eating wheat and dairy this summer. After awhile, I also cut out all gluten, yeast, and fermented foods (mostly vinegar), and the rest of the rash pretty much went away. I don't *think* that I have celiac disease (essentially...

Yeah, the gravy thing was going to be my next argument! Wild rice stuffing sounds yummy; would you be willing to share your recipe? Jeanne

ARCHIVED Results Negative, Family History, And Symptoms
jnclelland replied to Hall100's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Would a blood test (which came back negative) be accurate if it was taken when I had been off wheat for 6 weeks, but still eating barley bread on a daily basis? (I know barley has less gluten than wheat, but I can't for the life of me find a source that says how *much* less.) Jeanne -
Well, it seems that one of our friends who's coming for dinner wants to make a big pot of stuffing, NOT cooked in the turkey, and hubby is fine with that. so, problem solved! :-) Jeanne

Gee, I must have made my hubby sound more insensitive than he really is! He's actually been very supportive overall; it's just an adjustment for him as well as for me. I think that in the end he's going to agree to cook his stuffing outside of the turkey; it was just that when I first mentioned it, it hadn't occurred to him before, and he has to go through...

ARCHIVED Blood Test Accuracy Question
jnclelland replied to jnclelland's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I'm pretty sure the rash isn't DH; it doesn't look anything like the pictures of DH that I've been able to find on the web, and it pretty much went away within a week or so of being off my allergic foods. (The web stuff I've found says DH takes months to go away after going off gluten.) It also flares up for other foods, such as vinegar, so I think it's... -
ARCHIVED Blood Test Accuracy Question
jnclelland posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
My journey to gluten-free started this summer when an acupuncturist suggested that I was allergic to wheat and dairy and should stop eating them. So I did, and felt much better, which made me wonder if I should be tested for celiac disease. So I asked my doctor about it, and he did a blood test, which came back negative. Here's the question: at the... -
Oh, I'm sure mine is gluten-related, too - or at least allergy/intolerance related; I just don't think it's DH. It also flares up when I eat other foods I'm sensitive too (vinegar, for instance), so it's not unique to gluten. Jeanne
-
I don't have the blisters that seem to be typical of DH; my rash just doesn't look anything like the pictures online, so I don't think that's it. At least, it doesn't seem likely enough to bother with a skin biospy, since it seems like my dietary changes are pretty much taking care of it. Jeanne
-
No, but I've looked at pictures online, and my rash doesn't look anything like the pictures of DH that I've seen. It's very localized, mostly on the knuckles of my right hand and a little bit on my neck, which also doesn't fit the pattern of DH as I understand it. Jeanne

Kate, Wow - your list of food intolerances is even worse than mine! As far as I can tell from the past few months of experimenting, I'm allergic/intolerant to gluten, dairy (including any milk protein such as casein), yeast, and vinegar (which includes even wheat-free soy cause, and all alcohol). Fortunately, soy and corn appear to be okay for me so...
-
Wow - you guys respond really fast! :-) We're cooking together (we both love to cook) and having friends over. I almost think it would be easier to get him to cooperate if I *did* have a celiac disease diagnosis; since it's "just" rashes that I've had for years anyway without knowing why, he doesn't quite see it as the big deal that I do. So, if...

Hi! I'm new here, not celiac disease (had a negative blood test), but definitely gluten-sensitive. (My main symptom is that I break out in a rash on my hands and face.) My husband has been generally supportive, but the following issue has come up: for Thanksgiving, he insists that stuffing MUST be cooked inside the turkey, and he's NOT interested in...
