    That's wonderful news, Ursula!!! Boy, I'm almost ready to get in the car and drive the 6 hours from Pittsburgh to see your doctor (wish it was closer)!

    Another angle: it can also HURT to have a solid diagnosis, as far as the insurance companies are concerned--it can be used as a reason to deny you or your child coverage.

    We had very bad luck with both apples and apple juice. We ended up never giving her juice. (Hope that helps!) I'm sorry that all my posts are so short and brusque, I just wanted to make sure I answered you as quickly as possible (never enough TIME when you have little ones!!!).

    Laura, my heart goes out to you! Here is my 2 cents worth. There is no way I would let anyone perform a risky procedure on my children unless it was DAMN necessary. (pardon my French.) My oldest son had open-heart surgery (which he definietly needed)at age 2, and had MAJOR developmental regression as direct result. Now, I know endoscopies are nothing...

    Hi, everyone, I just wanted to let the newbies know where to look for gluten-free flours! If you have a Chinatown, International District, or Asian (Chinese, Japanese, Thai, Vietnamese, Korean, or Indian) food market anywhere near you, THAT is the place to look for rice flour, tapioca flour, and potato starch! Both Chinese stores I went to today...

    Wow, Mari-lyn, what a great dietician and caring person you are! The health care profesison is lucky to have you aboard, and so are we!

    I thought hydrolyzed meant liquified? That shouldn't turn it into wheat...

    That's okay--I did mean to be funny. Humor keeps from clobbering him at times like that. Absolutely! BOO bulldogs! (Um...who ARE the bulldogs, anyway?)

    I take children's Little Critter Gummy vitamins--says gluten-free on the label. I take at least one a day, and when I can remember, 2 (one with lunch, one with dinner).

    Correction: SHE doesn't have the negative energy--the Bulldogs do! (Boo, Bulldogs.)

    Hi, Susan, how are you doing? I know things get overwhelming way too often, but hang in there anyway, okay? I know right after I figured out that I had a gluten problem, I got hit by a car and tore up my shoulder (which I very much need!). I remember sobbing to my husband that I could deal with one or theother, but not both at once. He, being a man...

    Sorry, I should have specified--use a bit less cornstarch, maybe ue only 4 Tablespoons, and it lumps up if you try to use it as roux (at least, it lumped up when I tried it), but it works beautifully if you mix it with a little of the milk (say 4-6 tablespoons) and add it after the rest of the milk is boiling but before you add the shredded cheese. I...

    Susan, I hope you're feeling better today. I am giving up on being able to figure out what causes reactions. I had major stomach bloating last night and I've made everything that's gone in my mouth all week--I have no idea what could have caused it. Maybe it was the phase of the moon, or something. Last thought--when it hurts, remember to relax your...

    Hi, Kirian, Welcom abaoard! I use plain old cornstarch with good results. I think potato starch would work just fine, too. Isn't Tinkyada great? I can't tell hte difference between it and the gluteny stuff! For flour blends, it depends on what you are sensitive to. A lot of mixes call for tapioca starch, but there are some that don't. Roben Ryberg...

    Did she say that? I didn't know that. I thought she was just saying that she thought a lot of people who were diagnosed as celiac actually had Lyme, and that the two sets of symptoms are nearly identical. I didn't get the impression that she was saying anyone here could go back on gluten or anything like that. She actually never told ME that she thought...

    Congrats, Carriefaith!

    La Choy is gluten free--the ingredients do not list wheat. What ingredients does Crystal soy sauce have?
  18. Fiddle-Faddle
    Thanks for the nformative update, Laura! I was wondering--any way you could contact the nurse and ask what she thought of the head doc? How smart did it make him look? You really want to know????
  19. Fiddle-Faddle
    Mileage?
  20. Fiddle-Faddle
    I haven't been to Whole Foods in several months. It was very disappointing--they did not have a separate gluten-free section, so I had to read millions of labels. Their gluten-free bakery is RIDICULOUSLY expensive, and I didn't think the products tasted that good anyway. I'm baking Annalise Roberts' recipes instead--faster than driving to Whole Foods...

    Hmmm. I always make Japanes (short-grain) rice in a Japanese rice cooker, and it's supposed to cooko up sticky. It doesn't work with less water--comes out hard. I wonder if they use long-grain rice for the buns?
  22. Fiddle-Faddle
    Rinne--congratulations on finding ANSWERS! Do you think we can convince Scott to let tailZ back on the board (if she'd want to come)?
  23. Fiddle-Faddle
    But what if the problem really is EE/EG and another scope is the only way to find it? (Not that I'm a big fan of scopes, I'm just trying to look at all possibilities.)
  24. Fiddle-Faddle
    But wouldn't you get sticky goo on your hands if you tried to eat this with your hands like a regular bun?
  25. Fiddle-Faddle
    Just sending you some good wishes and prayers
