    I don't see how that would be good in any way shape or form. I can only imagine the side effects and long term effects of a more "watertight" intestine. Besides, if you have an autoimmune disorder, how would that stop the reaction? It doesn't make any sense to me. Aren't there more important things to research than a get-out-of-jail-free card for diabetics...

    ARCHIVED Hidden Gluten

    penguin replied to a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    In the safe looking cornmeal I just bought. Definite gluten reaction from my cornbread, and that was the only new thing. I seriously doubt it was the tinkyada. Bob's Red Mill did the same thing. Why is it every time I make something yummy and normal I get glutened, when I know all other ingredients and tools are safe?

    As I understand it, Celiac is a form of gluten sensitivity. With Celiac, the gluten is ingested and it damages the villi of the small intestine. With gluten sensitivity, it doesn't cause damage, but causes the symptoms. Some doctors say that untreated gluten sensitivity can lead to Celiac. You can be gluten intolerant without being Celiac, but you can...

    That looks good! I have a recipe for chicken nuggets too, if you don't mind my sharing...it's got a lot less ingredients (it's a spinoff of nini's chicken)...just let me know and I'll post it

    I've been gluten-free for a month and a week, and I am seven days late on my period. I'm normally on the pill, but wasn't this past month due to some logistical errors on my part. Before you say that I'm preggers, let me say that two HPT's and a blood test reveal otherwise. Anyway, I've been on the pill for 7 years, but, I have taken breaks here...

    I was of the opinion that it was a little overboard to get a medic alert bracelet just for Celiac, especially when I'm not a kid in school. I saw it advertised on a gluten-free site somewhere and wondered if anyone bought them just for celiac. If I ever have another need to get a bracelet, I'd probably add celiac to it for good measure. Thanks for...

    Find out the number of the company that makes it and ask them if it has gluten in it. What I never understood about antidepressants is that the side effects are so bad, how are you supposed to come out of depression? I willfully got my anxiety under control after not wanting to be on those drugs anymore, though now that I think about it, the anxiety...

    I read once that a good trap for bees and other icky flying stinging things is a 2 or 3 liter soda bottle with just a little soda (full sugar) at the bottom (maybe 1/4 of the way full). The bees and things go into the bottle but can't figure out how to get out. Orange soda is supposed to work particularly well.

    Does anyone out there have a simple cornbread recipe? I don't want a recipe where I have to track down 20 obscure flours, since cornbread is by it's very nature simple. DH and I dearly miss jiffy cornbread, so help is much appreciated

    It is really interesting! I also found out that cocoa is related to celery I don't know how the botanists figure all of this stuff out

    I make this all the time! It was one of the many dinners that were normal *inside* my house, but not outside my house! Others were chicken fried steak, salmon patties, greek rice, ham hocks and beans, chicken & dumplings... My mom is a southern trained cook living in yankee land, so no wonder my friends thought I was wierd At least now...

    I found this on the Clan Thompson site, Open Original Shared Link No idea if it would work or not. I need to learn to make it! And I desperately love greek food!

    The Rapid Release Tylenol is NOT gluten-free! If you're having trouble taking pills, take the children's liquid. I hope you feel better soon!

    Distilled vinegars are gluten-free, some people still react to them for other reasons, like you with yeast. You might be able to pull off a homemade mayo with lemon juice in place of vinegar, it's the acid you need for the emulsion.

    You know, I've been thinking about that too! Seems like every spring my hands molt. I get itchy as hell fluid filled bumps that aren't really red, and then my skin peels and it's gone. I get it on the sides of my fingers and on my palms. I'm going to have to pay attention to that... Well, they can't need that much for a biopsy, it's not like they peel...

    ConAgra will email you back with a CYA response, but they will clearly label any gluten containing ingredients. I emailed them a while back (not about that product, but here's they're general statement): "We do not have a gluten free list of our products available at this time. The flour used in our products is often wheat flour and should be...

    ARCHIVED Doctors - Batting A Thousand

    penguin posted a topic in Doctors

    I just got back from my appointment with the allergist. He didn't see a huge reason for me to be there, but could understand why I wanted to be allergy tested. He took the most comprehensive history than any other doctor I've had, and said my stomach problems likely started as a baby and the whole "nervous stomach" thing was an indicator of things to come...

    1: they may put pancake batter in the omlette eggs. IHOP does this and some other diner type places started to, also. 2: they may cook eggs and pancakes on the same grill w/the same utensils, ask next time for them to use foil. 3: iced coffee may have had flavoring or malt that is suspect 4: milk somewhere could have bothered you The...

    No, sadly. There is no antedote for gluten. It's an intolerance, and an autoimmune disorder. There is no cure and only one treatment, adherence to a gluten-free diet for life.

    Sorry, this statement struck me as odd. Is the "live raw germs" a mental thing? Because the Activa you bought is chalk full of the "germs" you're talking about. Live cultures (good bacteria) are what make yogurt yogurt, and they're also found in your digestive tract. When you have D or are on antibiotics, the good bacteria get flushed out or killed. When...

    I just wanted to say that that is an awesome thing for you to do for your daughter's friend. I think I would cry if one of my friend's mom's did that!

    Does anyone, or their kids wear a medic alert bracelet stating they have Celiac disease or an intolerance to gluten? I've seen some ads for them and I wonder if there is any reason for a Celiac to wear one. They're a lot prettier nowadays than the ones my sister had to wear for athsma.

    My friend in childhood was allergic to milk, so she would eat her cereal with orange juice. Whenever milk seems to be bothering me, or I just plain don't want milk, I eat my cereal that way too! Kraft mac and cheese (well, not any more, I guess I could use annies or something) with a can of drained tuna for "tuna cassarole"
