    In Michigan we are having some rain, cold temperatures and high wind and wave warnings. (60 miles per hour windsin some areas) This storm is HUGE! Red Cross volunteers from Michigan have headed out this morning. Just letting you know that help is on the way! Stay safe!

    My kids are going through job appitude testing. I remembered my testing appitude said I should be a professional athlete, hairdresser, spy. I have collected a paycheck, been licensed and insured for the first 2 carrers of the list. I just haven't been paid for my spy technique. My son's test results... a magician, solar energy technition, and electrical...

    Vitamin defiency (B12) may be a cause of premature greying. Your diagnoses and healing may have saved you from premature greying. Do you have any idea of when your family members went grey? (if ever).

    Do you have a hard copy of the pathology report from the biopsies? I do know of something that "fits" for the description here.Eosinphilic gastroentestinal disorder. Gluten can "trigger" the immune system to attack with white blood cells (eosinophils). The eosinophils are usually reserved for fighting a parasitic infection and have a spear like shaft...

    You should probably not have anything you froze before understanding cross contamination issues.

    Gluten eaters usually ask for the recipe. I have been experimenting with adding almond paste for more flavor. Has added that much flavor, but it didn`t change the consistancy.

    Hmmm you might be on to something. The first gluten free hamster food on the market! I can see your family's experience on the side of the bag and some of the health benefits for the hamsters listed too. What lucky little hamsters! Is there anything mommies don't do?

    My recipe is on that thread too. Cream cheese cut outs

    I have to cheer for the TIGERS! But I always raise a toast for you sillies!

    Have you looked into "dumping syndrome"? Do you have a gallbladder? (I do mean your own gallbladder) Keep a food journal to track down another food intolerance.

    I agree with 1974 girl. You have to draw the line on how much scoping you are going to do. My daughter was scoped during the elimination diet. (everything was clear and normal) That's when we started challenging possible allergens and based on her reactions identified her triggers. She was scoped again when she had seasonal airborne issues. (it...

    I thought that article was written in a "goobly-gook" manner. I now that adult cases and child cases are diagnosed on a different count of eosinophils. It seems the standard care for a child at diagnoses... Prevacid modified Flovent inhaler(so the liquid is swallowed not inhaled) allergy testing an elimination diet (eliminate all top 8 allergens...

    Parents of Celiacs really notice a change after going gluten free. Little ones with delays and failure to thrive have snapped back quickly and have a rapid growth on a gluten free diet. Topics get started on specific issues and adult Celiacs even chime in from their own childhood experiences with these difficulties.

    I'm going to give you my "gut" feeling on the medication issue. I don't know the medications and in what combination you were given. I think the medication combo is making you MORE vitamin and mineral deficient. i.e. your body's iron/calcium bonding to the medication in your system. Like the warning on your thyroid medication about avoiding calcium for...

    At this point because you are still eating gluten, get the Celaic panel. Then you will know if you have to avoid gluten or just wheat.

    Yes, my daughter was diagnosed when she was 6. That added to her probable Celiac diagnoses when she was 17 months old. She is now 10 too! There are EoE peeps here on the forum. Some are here because gluten is one of their triggers. There is a known connection between EoE and Celiac. (JAMA Nov. 2011) I don't want to burst your bubble, but allergy...

    Are you my neighbor? From your story here it sounds like you moved into my neighborhood.

    When I was younger my hair was down to my waist. So longer hair would come into contact with underarm deodorant. If some one doesn't wear deodorant, it seems to me that the odor is all over their clothes. YUCK!
  19. mommida
    I missed reading the brand and scent of underarm deodorant/antipersperant. I was glutening myself from Ban Sweet Surrender, which had barley in it. That would be rubbing all over shirts and possibly long hair. I honestly didn't believe it could make me sick, but when I switched to a safe product I wasn't getting sick.

    My midwestern roots are showing. I would go talk to the manager and makes sure the workers look you in the eye. That is how I would make my decision. I do have a weakness for pizza! I would get the pizza and take it home. That way, if I get sick I am already home. (I would try and make sure the schedule was clear for the next morning too) The...

    How many rounds of medication has he been on for the H. Ploryi? It might be helpful to take probiotics for getting his gut to a healthier "balance" It is time to get tested for Celiac. There seems to be a connection between Celiac and H. Ployri. (I have read articles in the past, my daughter was through testing, and the symptoms of both are very similar...

    Tom, The medical community statements on the amount of time to heal are just GUESSES. The truth is every individual is different. The medical community made the most advancement in digestive knowledge from an accident. Dr. William Beaumont had a patient who was shot in the gut. The wound never fully healed and the man had a hole in his side made...

    Happy Thanksgiving to all our Canadian neighbors!! We are "celebrating" Columbus Day. That means we have no banking or mail today.
  24. mommida
    could you go back to your food journal chart and see if there is any evidence of a 12 day damage cycle and healing for the allergens you removed? If there appears to be a 12 day reaction that could be eosinophils causing some havok and causing the reflux symptoms.

    If you can find a co-op like (united natural foods). You can buy in bulk or split cases with other members. Order in bulk. (from on-line sources) see if your local health food store will help you out. when you bake make a double batch and freeze the second half. (you will have to experiment and see if the item freezes well.) look at your favorite gluten...
