    We are not only gluten free, but egg free too. I have found cream cheese really holds cookies together. So egg free tips are added at the end of the recipe. So please use a gluten free flour mix that has xanthan or guar gum. Cream cheese cut outs (I suggest you double the recipe too, if you have a strong mixer) 1 cup butter or margarine, softened...

    My daughter was diagnosed "probable" celiac when she was 16 months old. when she was 6 all "gluten" symptoms returned but very extreme. She was vomitting up to 5 times a day on average, dark circles under her eyes, complaints of her whole stomach area hurting, daily headaches, constipation, and her hair was falling out in clumps when she ran her fingers...

    At this point get the refferal to a pediatric gastro. doc. These symptoms are almost "general" and an endoscopy with biopsy should be done to rule in or out (diagnose) several possible disorders. (these disorders may be existing with Celiac) Possible disorders that can be diagnosed through the endoscopy with biopsy... H. Ployri infection parasites...

    Thank you for the recipe! My son loves egg nog, but we never have eggs in the house because of my daughter.

    I'm thinking the vet cost on this shouldn't be outrageous. An x-ray to show the hip problems and probably some pain pills. It's a hard thing. The pain pills will cause long term damage, but to have a little more pain free time with your guy is worth it. Definately try the glucosamine and chondroitin some dogs have really snapped right back to puppy hood...

    Wow! Can you post that recipe? (I honestly didn't think it would be possible.)
  7. mommida
    We just shared one here yesterday. No ill affects.

    I'm definitely going to look into those cakes. I may even make my own cake layers and ask them to fill it with the ice cream. We have to be egg free too so a lot of gluten free cakes don't work for us.

    Well that mystery is solved! I suggest you try some enhanced water (like Smart water that has magnesium, potassium, and calcium). You need a little bit more right now to help you get well. Did you see the panel range for vitamin B12? It usually has a normal range of at 200 to 300. I would guess that a vitamin B12 supplement would not hurt right now....

    I found the story, It was under "He's finally starting to grow" How easy was it to find the gluten free cake at Dairy Queen? Was it made special? Is it a private franchise decision? Give me more information, because seriously I haven't been able to have many birthday cakes that I have not made. (That goes for my birthday too.)

    Just picked up on this post and I didn't read the story from the beggining. Can someone link me to the full story?

    Celiac is mostly diagnosed from the blood panel and endoscopy with biopsy (of the small intestine not not the colon). Keep a food journal. It can help find "hidden" gluten. (yes, that small splash of soy sauce is gluten.) It can help find areas of cross contamination. (Switching to gluten free I kept a bottle of vanilla from the "gluten days" that...

    Egg free egg nog? Just drink vodka out of the bottle babe!

    I just bought decorative hand soaps that have both oats and wheat in them. They look like robin eggs. Drywall has gluten in it apparently. I will see if the joint compund has an ingredient label. (Although I have never found an ingredient label on drywall.) At first I didn't even think about Playdough, because who eats Playdough. Kids do...

    Keep a food journal to see if there are any other food sensitivities. Cross contamination sites i.e.(going to barn on Saturday causes reaction~ what did you do at the barn? ~ fed horse oats.) (used "pretty" soap at Sally's house ~ mom checks with Sally's mom ~ decorative soap has oats and wheat in it)

    Crazy pre diagnoses story..... Daughter started having severe Celiac symptoms when she started "solids". She was having symptoms on breastmilk too. I removed gluten from the family diet because docors kept blowing off concerns and didn't do any testing. (over 10 years ago ~ but I still hear doctors are blowing off testing for that "fad diet"). Improvement...

    Welcome to the forum! Sounds like a possible reaction to the medication. (Celiac is usually not prescribed medicine ~ just a gluten free diet.) Some Celiacs need to be casein free (the protein chain of dairy) while the gut damage heals. Every one's diagnoses journey can be very different. like... Didn't notice any symptoms, then showed anemic on...
  18. mommida
    Wow D. I'm sorry to hear about your mom's diagnoses. Do you know any common genes involved with Lewey? When we discuss genes associated with Celiac here, we are using a very shortened abbreviation of the HLA strand. We do have some very infromed members of the forum, but quite a few members are MIA!!? As a side note note... Someone I know was working...

    I seriously regret not putting on my long johns today. (But you see yesterday it was 58 degrees) The wind today is just bitter! I've been chest deep in snow and felt warmer.

    A friend whose son also has an auto-immune disease that has food triggers including dairy, uses ghee safely. The reason for this, the butter has been "clarified" breaking down the proteins. The proteins are what cause the reactions. It is a personal decision. I understand the logic, as my daughter was put on amino acid formula.
  21. mommida
    Celiac can be "silent" and not be diagnosed until blood panel and endoscopy with biopsy is done. Your child is showing symptoms of something going on and is possibly Celiac. (an endoscopy with biopsy can also test for EGID, H. Ployri infection, parasites and other possible conditions.) Your child needs to keep eating a "normal" diet. If you eliminate...

    Notme, You do know about Enjoy Life chocolate chips, right? So much better tasting than any chocolate chip that has soy in them. If I buy them for baking I have to hide them from the family or they are gone. Never to be seen again.
  23. mommida
    I hope they are good! I have made potato chip cookies before and always thought they needed to be chocolate coated. (You might think the sound of it sounds gross, but I tell you YUM!)
  24. mommida
    Sorry I can't help you much. You are at the bottom of new posts on my screen so BUMP if you aren't familiar with what that means, I have put your post back up to the top for ((hopefully)) that right person will take notice and answer. Usually a gluten free diet is helpful for colitis

    Eosinophils are sometimes a diagnoses. EGID Where in the GI track were they found? count? Did your son have an endoscopy with biopsy? My daughter has both Celiac and Eosinophilic Esophagitis. A diagnoses of Eosinophil Gastrointestinal Disorder is a very serious diagnoses and the symptoms are extremely similar to Celiac. There is now a proven link between...
