    Yes, 1/4 cup of the kernels, about 4 cups of popcorn, has approximately 7 grams of fiber.

    Yep, two classic symptoms! Sounds like she should also be on a gluten-free diet. Even if she didn't have Celiac at the time of testing, doesn't mean she hasn't developed it. And of course, the tests are notorious for false negatives. While I'm no doctor, I cannot believe gluten and/or other foods aren't giving her problems. Those symptoms you've mentioned...

    Well, it sounds like you got glutened, or maybe just some other ingredient that your body can't handle. What brand was it? How did you prepare the bratwursts? There are a number of kitchen items which can harbor gluten, and could easily contaminate your food. Anything made of wood, cast iron pans, pans with scratches, utensils with seams, crevices, rivets...

    rinne took the words right out of my mouth. So many people get a false negative on the tests, I'd have serious doubts until getting multiple opinions, and all the latest tests. Furthermore, I read recently, that some additional genes have been associated with Celiac, which could change things for many people who've already received negative test results....

    Interesting. I just started experimenting with a small pyrex bowl for making buns, biscuits and such. The results I'm getting are by far the best yet. The diameter is approximately 4 inches, which IMO is just about perfect. It's the two cup size shown Open Original Shared Link. The only thing I wish they had done is to put handles on it. For anyone having...

    I read someplace that there's a difference between the bare metal ones, and the darkly colored metal ones, which are apparently coated with some sort of non-stick stuff. The article mentioned that it's the dark color which is the desirable aspect - supposedly absorbing heat better. There are also stainless steel ones too. I've read a bunch of reviews about...

    This is interesting. I don't think I've ever seen a cast iron bread pan before. I also like a good crust, and the pyrex has worked for me in that regard as well. I have to think the type of pan is a determining factor in the amount of liquid to put in the recipe. Many posts suggest that the dough should be very soft, sorta like thick cake batter. I don't...

    I just found this product, which has many of the things often suggested for lipomas: Open Original Shared Link I have no idea if it really works, so always do your own research.

    I also agree with what others have said. It does take more time than just two days. Not to be discouraging, but for some, it takes months. As was stated, avoiding dairy can really be helpful, especially early on in the healing process. The suggestion of simple foods is also good. Avoid all that processed stuff, which isn't good for you anyway. Stick to...

    This is an interesting topic to me. I just Googled these: Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link Seems that the liver, detoxification, and fat metabolism have been implicated in lipomatosis.

    It is available at a few places online, such as bobsredmill.com. A search should help you locate some others. If it is the fiber which interests you, there are other high fiber flours, though coconut flour does appear to be particularly high. Bean flours are another type which are noted for fiber content, as are Montina flour, and mesquite flour. Pea flour...

    I wish there was a simple answer, but it seems everyone is different. For some, great improvement is seen in just days, while for others it can take months or even years. It took six months before I noticed much of a change, though I wasn't taking any supplements at the time. I really which I had. There is often a period of withdrawal, during which you...

    The vitamin B12 is a very good idea. Just make sure it's methylcobalamin, sublingual, and take at least 3mg per day. It may also be advisable to ask a doctor for a shot or two, in order to get your levels up more quickly. The blood test is simple enough, and although it isn't always accurate, in the case of extreme deficiency, I'd hope it would show up. ...

    I agree completely, though being self-diagnosed I can't help you with the specific tests to ask for. Although I do relate to most of the symptoms you've mentioned, and I think Celiac seems likely, I'd feel remiss if I didn't mention candida. An intestinal yeast overgrowth (commonly referred to as candida) can cause all sorts of cognitive problems. The...

    I've always used pyrex for baking, and things usually turn out pretty good. But, I've noticed that there seems to be a lot of those metal bread pans on the market, like the non-stick types. I have experimented a few times with stainless steel, and it just doesn't work right. I've concluded that the metal reflects too much heat away. It tends to leave everything...

    I think I've started reacting to their stuff I haven't had problems with it before, but lately something has been getting me, and the Arrowhead Mills flour is my prime suspect.

    Actually, that isn't the company's site. But I found it: Open Original Shared Link Their site doesn't have the ingredients listed. Can you post it?
  18. RiceGuy
    Wow, but then again, it doesn't surprise me. It is as if the food industry purposely poisons us, so we go to doctors, and get robbed, and put on drugs, so the drug companies can rob us too, and keep us in the endless cycle of disease. I'd hope that old fashioned pure maple syrup is still made ok. Though I haven't researched them, there are also syrups...

    Welcome! You've come to the right place! Firstly, no matter what the tests say, I hope you never question your decision to go gluten-free. It is quite obvious to me that gluten harms you, and your son. Secondly, do pursue all the tests that you feel you need, for the school, your family, or whatever. If a doctor is uncooperative, find a new one. Often...

    Welcome to the board! From my experience, and all I've read, what it sounds like to me is that the intestinal damage has lead to malabsorption, and nutrient deficiencies. This is very common, and can take time to heal. So what I'd suggest is to start taking a few supplements. A sublingual methylcobalamin (active form of vitamin B12), of at least 3mg daily...

    I actually bake with whole grain flours only - no starches, and I think they turn out pretty good. Sure, they won't win any trophies, but it's not like I'm entertaining professional food critics. Of course, I try not to be too picky. Actually, the last couple days I've started experimenting with a new idea for making sandwich rolls, buns, and biscuits...
  22. RiceGuy
    Yes, CC does matter. You should really have a dedicated gluten-free toaster. Also, how were you tested? I just read that some additional genes have recently been associated with Celiac. If true, there may be a lot of gluten intolerant people who are, or can become, Celiac, even though the tests they had said no. Without the very best genetic testing...
  23. RiceGuy
    I just read that some additional genes have recently been associated with Celiac, so it may be that you might still be able to become Celiac even while not having the genes you were tested for.

    Some really good gluten-free grains (besides rice and corn) include amaranth, buckwheat, millet, and teff. They're really yummy in all sorts of casseroles, stews, soups, etc. All can make a good hot cereal too, if you're into that. The roasted buckwheat, usually called Kasha, is marvelous stuff. These grains also go well with lentils, beans, and all sorts...
  25. RiceGuy
    Just make sure they do the best tests. I was just reading in another thread that some additional genes have recently been associated with Celiac. And of course, no matter what tests say, it's always good to try the gluten-free diet and see. BTW, I also had a terrible time concentrating in school, though at that time it was candida along with Celiac...
