    i am assuming you mean lymphocytes? that is all that showed in one of my girls biopsies---but she had positive blood work. christine

    mallysmamma----have you had your antibody levels checked periodically over the years? christine

    i hate to burst your bubble---but the oats in cold cereals are NOT considered safe. oats are only safe if they can be guaranteed to be gluten free. some people are eating mcaans oats without a problem, and there is a company making oats for celiacs Open Original Shared Link we have tried any oats yet, but our ped gi says we can if they say "gluten free...

    i am going to get some of theose oats from (wisconsin?) that are grown by the people with the celiac son and are supposed to be gluten free. our ped gi said if the oats say gluten free on them, then they are ok. the ones i am looking into show a copy of their gluten testing. one of my girls starts to itch with gluten (i know now it cause she cheated the...

    i've heard the use of soy in so many products is also a problem because of the phytoestrogens in soy. christine

    where in salt lake do they buy the flour? we are about 3 hours from salt lake, and i have a sister in riverton and another in sandy (i think). since you're from that genreal area----are there any good sources of gluten-free products in logan or ogden? they are even closer. oh yeah, i have a sister in layton, too. christine

    where do you get your rice paper? i have scanned our local stores and can't find any. christine

    we eat peanuts and roasted nuts-----i'm a little confused about why you are only buying raw nuts, i assume you haven't been able to find any that haven't been dusted with flour---but i totally agree with you about unprocessed nuts being more expensive!!! i can't figure out how to say this---i keep typing and deleting-----but i think you really understood...

    susan, i made our old favorite choc chip cookie recipe and used bette hagman's featherlight mix and some sorghum flour, and a little bit of potato flour and xanthan gum-----they turned out really good---almost like "before". i don't remember the exact amounts----i was winging it. christine

    store bought goat milk is probably not going to taste very good. but, if you milk your own goat and feed it grain, (no weed munching) you might not even be able to tell the difference between it and cows milk. i have an old cream separator out in my garage waiting for the day that i get a goat again. christine

    that could really simplify things for celiacs (after i just started a thread about it not being as hard as people think LOL!!) you could just carry it in your purse for those times when your choices are limited or questionable. christine

    actually, they only have to list wheat----not other gluten containing grains, but i *think* that it is not very likely to find the other gluten containing grains hidden under another name. barley will usually be listed as malt, and oats are usually listed either as whole oats or oat flour. i don't think rye is used in that many things. there may still...

    mallysmomma---i'd love to see those recipes! we've had really good success using our old favorite recipes, but we do mix flours. i like to use more than just white rice flour because some of the others are a little more nutritious. christine

    how many of you find yourself walking through the grocery store feeling irritated at the food manufacturing companies for putting gluten in everything? christine

    i was just doing some research, and ran across a statement saying that a gluten free diet is hard to follow, and i am thinking----it really isn't that hard. however, i do remember only 2 1/2 months ago crying over this diagnosis for my children----and nearly crying in the store on one of our first shopping trips after diagnosis. isn't it amazing how your...

    ped gi called me today with my son's test results. he said that he does not have active celiac, but that he does have the gene for it. he has HDL-Q2---or is it HLA-DQ2? he said that he should be tested for celiac about once a year. i understood from what he said that we should also test if he started having symptoms, or if he was having regular blood work...

    laura----i re-read the original article that was posted-----it referred to the pill helping people that are "prone" to celiac or diabetes. i am wondering if that was referring to people who have the genetic disposition, without already having the disease. did he indicate if it would be in the best interest of these people to also use this drug to avoid...

    eosinophils cells indicate allergies. christine

    we must be pretty lucky---our ped gi seems VERY well informed about celiac, it's complications, and it's actual prevalence. christine

    your son is IgA deficient, so he needs to have a completely different testing done to know if he really has celiac. IgA deficiency is something that can go along with celiac, in fact, celiac can actually cause IgA deficiency. someone with celiac is 10x more likely to be IgA dficient than the rest of the population. one of my boys is IgA deficient. our ped...

    i think that protein bars would be alot better for you than the rice crispy bars. christine

    sometimes kids that age will get so involved in their play that they don't want to leave---even to go potty, and will just wait until they can't hold it to decide to go. christine

    sounds like a good explaination to me. i will keep that in mind when deciding whether or not to buy something labeled "produced in the same facility as wheat". christine

    i have often wondered if the chemicals in our foods are responsible for the increase in so many of our maladies-----it was interesting to hear our ped gi suggest the same thing----i've never heard a doctor express that line of thinking. christine p.s. there's always baking soda for brushing your teeth!
