Spoon into crust. Refrigerate until set (3 hours). Options...

    Hi, Debbie, welcome aboard! The negative biopsy only means that the section biopsied had no damage to the villi. That doesn't mean that there is no damage, and continued ingestion of gluten almost certainly will cause further damage, if not to the villi, than to other parts of the body, including neurological damage. I don't think anyone was judging...

    Wow, Janie, you sound much more intelligent than a lot of the doctors I have seen! Yes, it is possible you might be able to wean off your meds, but only time will tell, and I suspect the weaning part may be very important. Many people here have weaned off of antacids (although I haven't yet, but I hope to), and many have been able to reduce the amount...

    Oh, Andrea Do they know if the tumor is malignant? Might it be benign?

    How about Greek Meatballs with wine sauce? Here is the recipe, courtesy of Rachael Ray (I make it with all ground beef, you can forget the lamb, I also throw a pinch of sugar in the sauce. It's fabulous on rice, also good on pasta!): Greek Meatballs in Wine Sauce 3/4 pound ground lamb 3/4 pound ground beef or veal 1 small yellow onion, minced 1 handful...

    I was just getting a much-needed haircut, and the TV was on --Montel was doing a show on eosiniphilic disorders. Unfortunately, the volume was off, but I saw printed on the screen something about eosiniphilic disorder causing 20 different food allergies in one child. I have to run, but if someone has time to look for a link, that could help some people...

    Hey, gals--I was just getting a much-needed haircut, and the TV was on --Montel was doing a show on eosiniphilic disorders. Unfortunately, the volume was off, but I saw printed on the screen something about eosiniphilic disorder causing 20 different food allergies in one child. I'll make a separate thread about this, just in case it helps someone! The...

    I think it totally depends on the individual hospital. My son had two cardiac procedures, one at a regular hospital, where the doctor made sure I could holdand nurse my son as soon as he came up from the recovery room. The other was at Pittsburgh Children's Hospital, where they would not let me hold or nurse him at all. They said I could pump my milk...

    Fritos are gluten-free!

    I just watched the video, and it never said that the fries were fed to her EVERY DAY. Even so, I know a number of parents who seem to think it's just fine to take their kids there every day. I strongly disagree with this, but unfortunately, there is a kind of subculture that does this Before we all look down our noses at this mom, we should realize that...

    I agree with everyone else--gluten-free household is the way to go! I found some wonderful food-grade square plastic containers at Sam's Club--I think they also sell them at Costco--that hold about 20 cups of flour and stack really well. I keep bread-flour mix in one, coookie-and-cake flour mix in another, and individual bags of flours in an even larger...

    That looks fantastic, and much easier than the sticky stuff I've been fighting with! Thanks so much for posting this, Mike!

    Tapioca flour and tapioca starch are the same thing, and they are FAR cheaper at Asian grocery stores! 89 Cents a pound at the Asian groceries in Pittsburgh, but about 3 dollars a pound at the regular grocery store.

    Seems to me we could take a gluten-free pizza crust recipe and substitute cornmeal for part of it and get good results...I don't know if it'll work, but this is the pizza crust I've been making recently, and it's quite good, though rather sticky--maybe adding cornmeal would help! I bet you caould add yeast for flavor, too.... RECIPE—gluten-free pizza C...

    I drink the peach detox tea--it's really good! And I swear I feel better, too, though maybe that's just the power of suggestion? There was something on this thread a while back about water, but I can't remember it. I've been using a Pur water filter, but one of my friends says that's not nearly enough and that I should buy distilled? Any thoughts...

    Susan, you're scaring me--I had toxemia the last couple of months of my first (full-term--lost my first in a miscarriage) pregnancy AND hyperemesis. My OBGYN, by contrast to your mom's, kept a very close watch on me, and decided to induce the minute the baby's lungs were functional, as things were getting much worse very quickly. Still, it was a long (...

    Taeweave, I am not familiar with the system in Texas, but see if you can talk to someone who already had a child with special needs (look for support groups in your area) and they can tell you what might exist outside the school system. Here in PA, the state picks up the bill for extra help (they call it "wraparound" here) for kids on the autistic spectrum...

    Irrevocably broken heart...hmmmm. If the breaking was done by a MAN, then it certainly does seem like it will never heal--but somehow, over time, it does. Not sure why, or how long it takes, but one day you wake up and realize that it's actually been healed for a while and you never noticed. And it doesn't take another man to make it go away, either-...

    Susan, I'm going on the assumption that we all celiacs are very very very very sensitive to everything, including meds. Is it possible that a tiny dose of ritalin might work? Normally, I'm not a fan of meds, but that fact that you felt wonderful on it the first day makes me wonder if there is something there that might ultimately work for you. Another...

    When you fry, make sure the oil is hot enough, and when they are done, put them on a rack, not on paper towels.

    So do all competitive swimmers suffer strange after-effects of the chlorine? That would be a good thing to research, not that anyone wouyld do anything about it . They've known for years that hairdressers have a high rate of miscarriage, but all they do is wear gloves, they don't have anything to protect them from the perm and dye fumes. I swim...

    Laura, if it's an consolation, I feel like I have BECOME Betty Crocker because of this diet! It's SO much easier than I expected, and it's actually fun (really)! There are premade flour blends available--get them the first few times and then make your own, you'll save a fortune. I went to Sam's Club and found these wonderful clear plastic food...
