    Big Hugs to you Barty! Grommit was a very lucky kitty to have you to love!

    I read years ago about vaccines NOT including the auto- immune contraindication for vaccines. As the link was discovered on the HLA chain of DNA. Sadly it was considered useless information because the average person has not had, or will ever have, genetic testing before being vaccinated. Remember to look at family medical history and the contraindication...

    We have so many more places catering to gluten free, I just got a pizza place grand opening flyer with gluten free pizza, chicken, and ribs. (dinner salads too) I tried Ethel's Killa Va NILLA cupcakes sold at Wholefoods~ They are fantastic! The bakery location is in St. Clair Shores, MI. I do hope they are able to expand sales to an area near you, but...

    Seems like your gallbladder. Are you belching/burping?

    We had the same issue, but it was the same ped. gastro. doing the undiagnosing. (spell check says that isn't even a word~ because it is beyond stupid!) My daughter was too ill for the endo with biopsy for the Celiac diagnoses. During the gluten challenge for the blood testing she needed to be hospitalized for dehydration for 3 days on an IV. She had...

    oops! I forgot to mention that there can be a seasonal allergy connection. In my daughter's case, late summer and early fall bring on more symptoms and then when a deep freeze hits she starts feeling better. (6 year pattern) If you can write a journal and keep track of air quality, activities and foods. Heavy abdominal workouts can make symptoms worse...

    Back when my daughter was diagnosed allergy testing was suggested. She went on an elimination diet to try and identify food "triggers". The elimination diet was avoiding all top allergens and peas. During that time she tried some amino acid formulas to help get extra nutrition without a reaction. And keep in mind that once the eosinophils are activated...

    Have you been scoped and tested for Eosinophilic Esohagitis?

    I hope the school will adapt the class for kids with food allergies. For instance having to budget for allergen free foods will be a lifelong necessity. Reading food labels and the importance of having companies clearly label ingredients. Kids should also be taught life skills of managing bank accounts, credit cards with a high interest rate, mortgages...

    If you move in and your mom is willing, I would make the kitchen gluten free. I do understand that it is your dad's house too, but the health risk for you is too much. Find some Udi's bread (think it is the best on the market and bought stock in it) for dad to eat- I don't think he will complain. Sorry, I really think it is early dementia. My husband...

    I guess I didn't point out yeast directly, but that is part of the good bacteria / microbes that are necessary to break down food being out numbered by yeast to properly digest. Very cool to find an animal study and human cases for comparison. (As the human can explain and have others describe the symptoms; the poor animal unfortunately dies.

    I was having a horrible breakout chin line around my mouth and eyebrows. After going to a dermatologist and getting put on antibiotics (that were killing my stomach) I read on-line "this breakout can indicate a ZINC defiency . I started taking a multi-vitamin and drinking more water (stopped the antibiotic) ~ voila the breakout stopped. I do struggle...

    We just got to go to a new restaurant that had a gluten free bun and safe French fries to eat. WOW Talk about feeling like a normal person! The worst part about it, was I forgot how to eat a big burger with a bun. It felt so weird. Brown Iron Brew House in Washington, MI ( just north of 25 mile Rd. on Van Dyke) It just opened and has some mixed...

    Just a theory after vet workshop... For some reason the food is just sitting in your gut and fermenting - therefore causing an alcohol poisoning situation. If the food is harder to digest, it sits in the gut longer. If the food is high in carbs and simple sugar, it ferments quicker while in the gut. So yes it is a condition of the wrong type of microbes...

    Congratulations!! Being a part of such an accomplishment with your team, made all the little sacrifices along the way worth it!

    I am glad it is clearly labeled with (barley). I will not use this product because of the cross contamination. Not like a person would intentionally eat a face cream; but dipping your fingers into what is basically poison to us and expect to stay healthy!!?

    Traveling is so much easier when chain restaurants have a gluten free menu! If gluten free pasta isn't on par with "normal" standard for taste and texture- I don't want it. They may not offer it because of the "gluten free trend" dieters- that are avoiding "white" foods like bread and pasta and order off the gluten free menu. The chicken soup does not...

    It was -4 last night. we have over a foot of snow on the ground. The drifting was really bad with this storm though. For those that don't know, drifting is when the snow blows around. It can leave some areas bare to the ground, and areas- like in front of the door to your house- 4 to 5 feet high. Kids had 2 days off of school. Has anyone ever noticed...

    Knitting is fun. You can learn how on you tube (don't know if mentioning site will be outlawed) Start small with a scarf, most of the yarn has a pattern on the inside of the band.

    Keep a food journal to keep track of the improvements. You may have to prove the importance of the diet restrictions later on for school and such. It will help track down sources of cross contamination or other food intolerances. Always have safe snacks on hand! Even "junk" food treat rewards to replace all the daily offerings kids are given need to...

    I suggest you keep a food journal. Keep track of all the foods (keep labels if possible), but keep in mind the activities and locations of these activities. The symptoms (if any) and BM's. We did determine my daughter could not continue with gymnastics. The 100 or so sit ups in the workout made her GERD symptoms flare up. (Celiac and Eosinophilic Esophagitis...

    I made the stove top mac n cheese with the Mueller's gluten free elbow noodles and everyone loved it. (even a gluten eater teen age boy!)

    It makes sense that psyllium can create the binding texture, but the possible gut issues!!? Some one on the board made the dinner rolls and raved about them and the cookbook. The ripping on the different products wasn't quite fair, some breads without other allergen ingredients are needed for people. Comparing a dairy free, egg free bread to other...

    I just got the America's Test Kitchen How Can It Be Gluten Free Cookbook. It has recipe's calling for the use of Powdered psyllium husk. Does anyone have experience with using these recipes? A strong preference for particular brand of psyllium husk? The cookbook has Now brand pictured. The cookbook has it's own flour blend recipe, but seems to strongly...

    Thank you for posting the picture and the ingredients. It's much better to find out at home if the product has another ingredient that makes it off limits for your household. I would have wanted to cry at the store.
