    I'm fine with not having an official diagnoses. The reasons you listed are the reasons I don't want one. The gluten challenge, 10 years before the doctor actually gives you the diagnoses, $$$$$$$ on tests. I don't need to spend $1,000 of dollars in repect for the medical community. I don't think this will speed up a cure. That will come in time. But...

    Here's the problem. Well let me put it this way,.. I have to take a notebook and plan my meals at least for the next 2 to 4 days ahead of time. I make sure I have all the ingredients all the snack foods, all the potential problems that could occur all figured out. I usually do this while watching tv. at night. This way it frees me up because all I have...

    The only time I refer to it is when I'm talking to my sister so we call it Knic Knac Patty whac bread. I hoped that they never ran out of it in the store where I had to actually inquire when it was coming in. Now I can breath relief I can come closer to the pronunciation. Gail

    Your parents must of been frantic Molly. When your a baby all you can hope for is the diagnosis and get the right treatment before time runs out. Also reading your story it amazes me at what the doctors say. You had the classic symptoms. I also didn't get the diarrhea as much as the constipation which I believe happens just because you can get so dehydrated...

    Most likely your body is trying to eliminate an excess amount of acids they are using in the digestive enzymes. My husband, a chiropractor uses enzymes and swears by them. He's been to seminars explaining them and he sells them to many of his patients. But right from the beginning I told him they bother me and I'll get a hard blister and they pop up even...

    Its crazy isn't it Nini, I so sorry that it takes just that small amt. for such a reaction like that. Does it help to scarch the itch or do you just leave it alone? Make sure your taking your B-vits to get you back in balance. I'll have real light tremors lasting for about 15 seconds in my neck and shoulder area once in awhile and I never know what causes...

    Its funny how this seems like a reality show/thread to see if there is a reaction to Vincent's gluten challenge.

    Just last year I noticed symtoms of bi-polar with me. I wouldn't sleep hardly at all and have a hard time sitting down to watch a movie or relax, and my mind would race. Then I would go into a depression which I never had to that extent. I also started getting stiff joints in my left hand and hips every morning. I knew I could also relate all these symtoms...

    Hi Moongirl, I've been gluten free for the same time you have but I haven't been to alot of social events yet. But the invites are starting as summer is approaching. The one thing I hate is I used to compare myself to someone who is on a diet as many are and have to pass up these foods too but the thing is they CAN cheat and we can't. Its having no...

    I always wondered how to use portions of NG flour blends to equal wheat and I found them today on the web.

    There is a bakery in Tampa Florida that makes gluten free bakery items. Our local health food shop orders from them and I love their Lavash millet and flax or spinach Lavash millet and flax. They are a flat bread that looks like a flour tortilla only you'll notice the whole grain goodness of the flax right away. I love them. They have a web site........

    I've juiced off and on for years. If you're hypoglycemic be careful about drinking a lot of carrot juice. I liked what Tiffany said about the fruit juiced in the blender and getting the fiber to slow down the digestion.. But a juicer is good for spinach/celery/apple or carrot to sweeten it. Those green vegetables can really cleanse you. Cabbage juice has...

    The glazed chicken is my favorite anyway, before I went gluten-free.

    I'm really not a bad cook but I'm learning the in's and out's of foods I've never made before so I'm posting my mistakes so others can learn and not have to throw away food since its expensive. I'm in love with cozy shacks tapioca pudding so I thought I'd make it myself with almond milk. I bought the small pearl. Followed the instructions which included...

    Thanks Carrie and Lorka, I'm just a beginner so using different types of flour to thicken is new to me. Its best I use recipes in the beginning because I don't know how much will thicken a liquid. I'll say one thing these recipes looks alot healthier then using flour, butter and milk. Thats exciting, healthy scalloped potatoes. Gail

    Lorka and Carrie, If its not a problem please post the recipes and maybe what I"ll do is try them before I actually have it for Easter. I usually have family over and I know they're expecting my scalloped potatoes becuse its a favorite with ham. Or maybe I can make more then one recipe and have everyone vote on which is better. I'll make a game out...

    Carrie, Thanks for all the time to type out these recipes. They all look so good. I also like stir fried dishes. I'm wondering if you ever made scalloped potatoes. I'm thinking about my easter dinner and I usually make those with a ham. I know cornstarch is good for stir fries but does it stand up as a thickner in a baked dish or does it break down...

    Grass fed free range animals have more omega-3 fatty acids which are anti inflammatory. Just like the cold water fish or salmon which gets alot of attention these days. When farm animals are fed corn and other grains their muscles contain almost no omega-3's and substantial amts of saturated fats...very inflammitory. The cows themselves wouldn't live along...

    Did you have the roast beef and bolongna meat on saturday/sunday? I stay away from processed meats especially bologna. It seemed like the older I got the more I had to eliminate processed foods and stick to foods in their naturally state. So I would have to roast the beef myself cool it and slice it for sandwiches. There is a sausage I can tolerate...

    Cassidy, If you go under the subject Related disorders and research and click on leaky gut someone posted an article on what to do to help heal. It does say the Aloe is not good but actually can irritate. I hope you'll check this out because I don't want you to be misled. Gail

    I know for me high sodium levels will cause me to retain water weight. Also about 3 yrs ago I tried the adkins way of eating because it was in the news alot and I remember way back I went on it and feeling really good on it. That should of tipped me off I was gluten intolerent but it didn't. That was the only time my stomach went flat and stayed flat all...

    If you can get Pamela's gluten free baking and pancake mix there is a recipe on the side for muffins. You can add nuts and blueberries, or any fruit even chocolate chips. Make a double batch and freeze some. Or for a quick fix have Lara bars on hand. But I think your going to want to have a milk substitute because you'll need the calcium and its hard...

    Lauren, Thanks for sharing your experience. I know I can relate to a lot of things you've said. Food has always made me sick by either eating it or not eating it. I got tired of the doctors and the food diaries etc. I always wished I could just eat a food because it tastes good or because its convenient but for me its always been will this make me...

    bloating for me also. I'm the same way in the morning my stomach is flat but depending on what I eat I'll bloat. I'm buying some spring and summer clothes and I'm so thankful this year the tees are longer, tunic tees. My stomach won't show anymore. Oh and do any of you have the no butt problem so your have to pull up on your pants all the time. ...
