    whoops, it said Lame Advertisement and I should have written "Amazon dot com"

    A biopsy is an expensive and INVASIVE procedure, requiring anesthesia (which is the most dangerous part or any operation). If you have even reasonably positive bloodwork, there is no reason for a biopsy unless the gluten-free diet doesn't work for you, and all NON-invasive avenues have been explored. You do not need your doctor's permission to NOT have...

    #1 There is a teenagers section on this board--that might make her a bit less hesitant, if she knows she can converse with others who can really connect with her. #2) If I were in your position, I would make absolutely every effort to make EVERYTHING in your household gluten free and learn to bake really good-tasting gluten-free breads, cakes, cookies...

    I can't answer your main question, but if your daughter does have celiac, then it is vital for you to stop eating gluten and possibly casein ASAP if you are nursing her. The problem, though, is that this will screw up any test results for you, since you muct be eating gluten for the tests to be accurate. However, since it has been proven that gluten you...

    I wish you good luck and a speedy recovery! I also wanted to mention that you might want to avoid percocet or endocet (the generic percocet). I had TERRIBLE reactions to it post-surgery, and I did an informal, very unscientific poll of everyone I knew who had been prescribed it for post-surgical pain. The results: 21 out of 26 people had varying degrees...

    I'm sorry you're not feeling well. I just checked the ingredients for the chips, and they do contain torula yeast and maltodextrin, neither of which are necessarily gluten, but both of which have caused reactions to several people on this board. In the absence of any obvious sources of gluten in the product (though I would want to know whether...

    ARCHIVED Pho

    Fiddle-Faddle replied to Juliebove's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    Check out Open Original Shared Link for a pho recipe you can make in your crockpot, as well as over 200 gluten-free crockpot recipes. This gal is amazing! And every recipe of hers that I have tried has been a winner (as well as a Godsend, since they are so easy, and yet force you to be organized).

    ARCHIVED Pho

    Fiddle-Faddle replied to Juliebove's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    Hoisin sauce and plum sauce are two different sauces! There ARE many brands of gluten-free hoisin sauces, including Dynasty and Golden Pagoda. gluten-free brands of plum sauce (or duck sauce, which is similar) include Lee Kum Kee and Oriental Mascot.

    I'd like to assume that your diet really is gluten-free, but judging from my own experience and what I've read here, it's quite likely that you are not as gluten-free as you think you are! (And please pardon me if I'm wrong, which is also possible!) The following contain gluten: Rice Krispies (contains malt, which is gluten) Corn Flakes (contains malt...

    It's actually a CROCK for the grain industry to tell us that grains are necessary nutrition for us. Read the ingredient list of any bread in the supermarket, including bakery breads. The only breads that have any nutritional content are the ones that have vitamins ADDED (in chemical form). Look for fiber. Only breads that are 100% stone-ground whole...

    It improved noticeably within a few days, but took several weeks, maybe even a couple of months to completely clear. His was so bad at the elbows, it didn't feel like skin. It was stiff, like a really thick layer of blisters. After it healed, it was white, a lot like scar tissue, for quite a while.

    I approximate, using corn meal, butter, a couple drops of vanilla, and brown sugar....the premade graham substitutes are ridiculously pricey, and the recipes too time-consuming.

    How sad. I would have thought that she would be thrilled that #1) you found a big answer to some big problems and #2) that you both ended up with the same, so you could share info, experiences, etc. I have seen, though, a really strange phenomena on this and other celiac sites. It seems that some people turn the "Is it Celiac or Gluten Intolerance?"...

    Hi Susie, I was going to suggest the KA mixer, but see you've already taken care of it! So the next helpful thing is to attach a great recipe for a quick (start to finish 30 minutes!) gluten-free flatbread that I adapted from a recipe I found here on this forum! Here it is: Gluten-Free Flax Bread 1/4 cup flaxmeal 1/2 cup brown rice flour (preferably...

    No, I haven't, but I'm very curious about this test. Where did you find it, and is it terribly expensive? (And do you think it is accurate?) I can see having varying degrees of reactivity to something, like some people are mildly allergic to nuts, and others have anaphylactic reactions. It's quite different from being pregnant!

    My middle son's reaction to gluten includes a rash; when he was a baby, his cheeks were so red and chapped-looking people kept asking if he'd been sunburned. And his elbows (on the inside) had such a terrible rash (we were told it was eczema, or psoriasis or contact dermatitis or....), it didn't even feel like skin, and he scratched it all raw and bloody...

    Please pm Rachel_24 on this board, as she is our resident expert on heavy metals, having battled mercury toxicity caused by dental amalgam. Your daughter might have developed mercury toxicity as a result of vaccines, or as a result of dental amalgams (her own, or yours affecting her while you were pregnant with her), or by some other contamination. If...

    The ingredients are: soy sauce (soy bean, salt, water monosodium glutamate), sesame oil, black pepper, garlic, onion, sesame, sugar, glucose, guar gum. Not anything screeching "gluten" at me. But then it says: contains soybean & wheat. What the ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Is it possible that whoever translated...

    I hate to confess, I did kind of like the taste of all those fakey syrups--but one look at the ingredient list, and I will NEVER buy them again. They all use high-fructose corn syrup, which seems to leave me hungrier than when I started to eat, and makes me thirsty all day, and is just generally EVIL. I refuse to EVER feed them to my kids. Luckily, I...
  22. Fiddle-Faddle
    You know, this really jumps out at me. How do they KNOW that it's a false positive? Is it possible that these people had a real positive, but were dismissed because they either didn't have "enough" symptoms, or because they had negative biopsies (and we all know what a sham that is)??? If you are making an antibody to gluten, it seems to me that you...
  23. Fiddle-Faddle
    I agree with Ravenwoodglass. An overwhelming response to a gluten-free diet is a far more accurate diagnosis than any blood test or biopsy. I honestly can't understand why anyone would feel they need to get official approval from a doctor when the tests the doctor offers are less accurate than an overwhelming response to a gluten-free diet. If a...

    I love Rachael Ray, even though her recipes were what got me into gluten trouble (before she cam along, I didn't eat pasta or much bread, and had no idea that I had a gluten problem). Most of her recipes, though, are easily adapted to gluten-free. I'm going to try this one next: Open Original Shared Link

    Could he be going through a growth spurt?
