    First question: Why are you eating cookies and cream ice cream?
  2. penguin
    Yes, taps makes me cry...I'm a die-hard scout after all What this woman did is decide that she wanted her toy back (she was their leader in kindergarten). She called each parent and recruited them into her troop. The only reason I have 4 left is that she didn't want those girls, so she didn't call the parents. When one parent said "I'd like to...

    I need a sobbing emotion thingy. Please God, please don't let me be the type of parent that exists (existed) in my troop. They've thrown a coup d'etat, and didn't bother to let me know until after they were done They've taken 3/4 of the girls, but deny recruiting within the troop What's really wierd is that these are the same parents that...

    Sure Open Original Shared Link Be gentle, though, we're trying to educate. Also, it was the dr., not the journalist, that suggested the woman go off the diet

    Maybe I'm a bit of a worrywart, but I would drive to a different hospital... Open Original Shared Link I don't know much, but I do know that a fever of 105 is bad news!!!

    Even when I was a 6 year old, I could manage rice and scrambled eggs without close supervision. I don't think we give kids enough credit for being able to do things themselves. My 9y/o girl scouts dropped their jaws when I told them they would be slicing vegetables themselves to make spaghetti sauce. A little safety training and guidance and they were just...

    I have a toddy and love it. It is much gentler and tastes way better, IMO. It doesn't get that bitter taste that brewed coffee does, and one batch lasts you a week. It makes a concentrate that you add hot water to to make a cup of coffee. Also really easy for iced coffee, obviously

    Unilever will clearly list wheat, barley, rye, and oats. Even in personal products like shampoo (they make all the suave and dove stuff)

    with the RBC's low, and the MCH etc. high, that looks like iron deficiency anemia to me. I think HCT is probably hematocrit.

    This is just the way I roll, but, I'd tell him that if he doesn't like what is presented to him then he can make something equally nutritious himself. At least he'd learn how to cook

    It's certainly interesting, but I don't think that study means anything, mainly because they had one sample. Not even a control person. If they are able to complete such a study on a broader scale of celiacs, then that would be great. Also, what happened after 18 mos? 24 mos? 36 mos? Does the bacteria repopulate eventually? Something to be on the lookout...

    I would, that's a cya statement. It sounds like they clearly label.
  14. penguin
    It's a CYA statment, I would eat my shoe if they weren't safe. CocaCola is one of the companies I trust, and last I checked, they don't make anything with gluten....

    The less specific blood markers are the positive ones, although they are the more sensitive tests. If the TtG is normal, a lot of dr's just write off celiac.

    For their cheddar bay biscuits, use your favorite gluten-free biscuit mix, and add: 1/2 cup cheddar cheese -- shredded 1/4 cup margarine or butter -- melted 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt 1/4 tsp. parsley (these are the gluten version directions): Preheat oven to 450. Mix baking mix, milk and cheese until soft dough forms; beat vigorously for 30 seconds...

    Maybe the glittery purple bats could fly you in....or they could help the dingosled

    The best way to avoid the gluten-free breads and sweets is to just not try and replace the gluteny stuff. Use lettuce leaves or corn tortillas for bread. Just don't look for replacements, and get used to them not being there, and you'll be fine
  19. penguin
    It's the same slippery slope we've been sliding on for a while. The thing about testing for gluten is that it's not sensitive beyond 20ppm, anything under that and it can't be detected. Until the technology can detect 1ppm, that's what we have to live with. You just have to be your own advocate and make good decisions. Some companies are better than...

    What are the reference ranges?
  21. penguin
    I use the red bag chebe mix and bake it on a stone, rolled out very thin. Tastes like the real thing!!

    So when are you going to get the other four kids and Adam over here?
  23. penguin
    minute maid is a coca cola company and they claim all of their products are gluten-free.
