    Quaker states that all their stuff has gluten in it because of cross contaminations. I tried oats a couple times with baaaad results. I eat Cocoa Pebbles. Neopets Island Crunch and Cocoa Puffs (check box because newly gluten-free) are gluten free. There are also a lot of other expensive ones out there. I have a list of foods my son eats if that would...

    Hidden Valley Ranch has gluten, but Kraft is ok. No telling what was in the punch. CC could be it too.

    I and most of the women in my family have horrible problems with yeast infections. I had my first at 10, before I even hit puberty. The itching and swelling can be unbearable. This may sound elementary in advice, but sleep without underwear, unless it's your time of the month, of course. I've found that if I sleep with them it's just awful. Just get...

    I agree with 2boys4me. My daughter is 11 mos and has had lots of hospitalizations, sticks, IVs, you name it. My son has been tested for everything because he was so sick for so long before we found celiac disease. It may hurt a little, but it's over quickly. It's nothing ice cream won't cure! The 1 year old may still be too young. We've had trouble...

    Bless your heart. I think we all know how you feel. My son had D last week again and I've been racking my brain to figure out why. I was taking out the recylcing and realized I had gotten the wrong box of Vann's Waffles and had fed them to him. They weren't gluten free. AAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! I was so angry with myself....

    Your responses were all the same as mine. The doctor does know what gluten free means. He says that any major dietary changes could through Dad's system completely out of whack and his health can't handle a lot of ups and downs. I'm like all of you, though. I don't see how it could make that big of a difference. My dad is very on top of his health and...

    I know so many of you have been through so much to get a diagnosis. I hope you can help me out with your experiences. My father has so many heath issues. Just to name a few: Kidney tranplant 22 years ago 9 heart attacks 1 stroke 1 open heart surgery He also has a lot of possible celiac issues: undiagnosed (after 7 years of tests) ataxia...

    Thanks so much for posting this! My Dad has soooo many health problems and this happens to him frequently. For the past few months I've started suspecting his problems are from celiac disease. He's been to 2 docs and now going to a 3rd soon. The first 2 refused to test him. This just gives him more ammo for pushing it! Thanks!

    We're on a major budget, so I was thrilled to find out that teh Walmart brand is gluten free. says so on the bottle.

    I had this too. thought I was just strange, but apparently a lot us are!

    Have you thought about videotaping the classes? I know it would be much better to be able to stay in there, but for those times when you do get sick, you wouldn't really miss anything. I used to take some classes by video and it was great because you could just rewind what you missed! You could just set it up on a tripod in the back of the room and no...

    ARCHIVED Er Last Night

    TCA replied to cgilsing's topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    Eat a lot of little meals during the day, even if it's just fruit. That will keep your sugar levels up. I had toxemia with my first and swelled up like a balloon. Was put on bed rest at 34 weeks. Take care of yourself and try not to overexert. I think working some long hours is what started my problems.

    Woo Hoo! I was thinking of you last night. I made a choc. chip cookie mix from Cherrybrook Kitchens that I bought at Target. It was dairy, egg, and gluten free. They were a bit grainy, but great flavor. I've been 8 mos. without a choc. chip cookie , so they were heaven for me. Must confess.... had them for breakfast!

    I'm still experimenting, but I also LOVE this flour. It's so smooth. Bob's red mill hasn't given me any problems, but their rice flour is sooo course. I've started just using it in cornbread to use it up. I do like thier bread mix, though.

    Another thought: after trying every formula you can imagine with my daughter, I finally tried avocado and she hasn't had any adverse reactions. It' so soft and creamy that I just put it in the food processor to get it really smooth and then mix it with the breast milk. I can then feed it through her feeding tube. 1 avocado had 29 grams of fat, so it's...

    i actually have a TON og breast milk in the freezer that I just can't bring myself to throw out. I was eating gluten when it was pumped and my daughter is so super sensitive she can't handle it. She had open heart surgery too and couldn't eat for a while, so there's a LOT. I would love to give it to someone who could use it. I tried putting it in a sippy...

    Sorry guys, but I just don't have time to read all of this thread, but from what I gather the question is how much gluten causes a reaction? Most of you know that I have a daughter with some major health issues. Well, being the overly analytical, anal retentive, engineer that I am, I actually made a chart of my 11 mo. old, breastfeeding, daughters's weight...

    Welcome Carol! I do hope you follow through with being a Physician's Assistant - we need you!!!! If you need help if finding gluten-free food, just let us know. We all have our favs and are eager to share. My guess is that you will feel so much better off of gluten that you won't want it again - I don't! I second what Ursula said about the toiletries...

    My son is soooo picky, but he loves bacon. I now limit his intake some, but for a while we just let him eat anything he wanted to get him to eat. PB is also a favorite. I just give him a spoonful for a snack, sometimes mixed with Jelly. Cheese is also great. Milkshakes are good too, but he doesn't really like them. You can mix instant breakfast and high...

    Thai Kitchen has some good quick fix noodle meals that I keep on hand. Hormel also has a couple - sweet and sour and southwest black bean. Amy's Soups Like Black bean are good. I like all of those becaue they don't have to be refrigerated. I will usually make some bread to take with me. I take my own PB, butter, and other condiments. Vann's waffles...

    stuffed mushrooms, gluten-free pasta salad, spinach dip with veggies, cocktail sausages, fruit with fruit dip, cheese tray, I have a few hot dip recipes that are GREAT served with corn chips or veggies, nuts, mints, etc..... yum!

    my daughter is on the liquid one and it is.

    She has pulmonary atresia and with a large VSD. The rerouting of her arteries was done in an open heart surgery last April when whe was 9 days old. The second to replace the conduit and close the VSD will be done this summer. I have found a paper by Dr. Fasano that shows a connection wtih congenital heart defects and celiac disease. Let me know if you...

    before we found out the kids had celiac disease, they would have blood in their stool if they had dairy. We now know they couldn't handle the dairy because of the gluten. After being gluten-free for a while, then have no problems with it anymore.
  25. TCA
    I was dairy and gluten free for a long time. It seemed like I lived off of pb&j. It's filling and cheap. I also love pb and golden eagle syrup. It's a sounthern thing, but they may have it in nashville. I ate a LOT of omelettes (without cheese). I also learned to tolerate silk soy milk. You might find you can cook with it even if you can't...
