    Our experience backs up the statistics. Getting diagnosed with one auto-immune disease is an open doorway to more auto-immune disease. If there are symptoms then go for a diagnoses. There may be medication, diet changes, or other things to alleviate symptoms, but you won't know without a diagnoses. For vitiligo, I believe there is an immuno-suppressing...

    If your toes snap apart as you put weight onto your foot, it could be Morton's neuroma. This small benign tumor has 3 names, and I can olny remember the one that sounds the worse.

    Safe lists can not keep up with companies changing ingredients.

    We have done mexican, build your own tacos or tostadas. Some times I prefer to have mexican style chicken or beef on lettuce. If you put out cheese or sour cream for condiments, you can put them on another table/ space. (You would want to keep those items chilled so it would not seem odd.) You could just keep it really simple finger food appetizers...

    You might have to keep a food journal. Note the time of anything you put in your mouth. Including tooth paste/ cosmetics near enough to your mouth. It will help figure out if you have any other food intolerances. It can also help to figure out if you just have a cross-contaminated ingredient or pan. My guts were such a mess it was hard to eat any grains...

    If the mother ingests gluten, gluten is in the breastmilk.

    Gluten reactions after going gluten free brought on vommitting for me. I even started vommiting from other intolerances that became apparent after removing gluten from my diet.

    You HAVE to EAT GLUTEN for the Celiac testing! Do not start the diet until the testing is finished!

    I was on thyroid medication for Hashimoto's thyroiditis for 10 years before going gluten free. I was able to cut down the dosage after going gluten free.

    I haven't found them yet. Anyone lucky enough with a bag, Do they have egg ingredients in them?

    Schawan"s didn't seem to have to many gluten free options. I know the exposure they had from the Celebrity Apprentice had a gluten free offering. Have you called the company?

    Eosinophils (white blood cells) could be activated to fight parasite infection. Eosinophils destroy host tissue. The damage could cause you to have difficulty with certain foods. Like the other post said the parasite's reaction to the food could also be a factor. If the parasite is dying off or if the parasite is thriving and throwing off more waste could...

    cyber ((HUGS)) for you! Get those older kids to help! It will probably make them happy to go back to school! Make them do simple things. Vacuum dust (odd socks on the hands) take the laundry to the proper room (put away their own laundry) sweep maybe mop depending load or unload the dishwasher wipe down the kitchen counters You can keep the...

    Hi Amber, Just want to let you know, we are sending our thoughts and prayers with you! Danna Korn's book is an excellent resource. The tip on having all the better than gluten treat bag available at all times is a lifesaver for newbies! Speaking of Lifesavers, the peppermint ones are all top 8 allergen and gluten free.

    I order from the big on-line place that "shall not be named" here because of spam to the site. (You know, big river) Free delivery with the super saver discount. Make sure the seller is not an outside source or the shipping $ will cut out any of the savings of the ordering in bulk quantities. I also order from lizlovely. The have some gluten free, egg...

    Years ago I read everything I possible could about Celiac and found there is about 30% of Celiacs who are considered IGA deficient. (I have also seen the changes in Celiac statistics in the past 5 to 6 years.) It is a very scarey time putting your little one through the endoscope with biopsy. Make sure you are working with a pediatric gastro you trust...

    Has she ever had an upper endoscopy with biopsy? She had problems when she was younger and "she eats slow" are red flags to me. There is a possiblity of a congenital defect or damage/inflamation in the upper digestive track. If she has any test results can you get a copy of them? It would be a good thing to know what if anything has been ruled out from...

    For your general peace of mind, go through testing with the pediatric gastro. There are a few things that can cause the same symptoms as Celiac or gluten intolerance. Some other disorders/diseases can also have a "gluten trigger". It could be possible to have a gluten allergy. If you can find out exactly what you are dealing with you will know if you are...

    I just started knitting when I was having problems with the gall bladder that came out in February.

    Well it is a good thing your diagnoses came before going through surgery and trying to heal when your body is in overdrive hurting itself! I don't know about the different valve choices and how Celiac determines one or another. Going gluten free is a life changing "grieving" process. You find out who your friends are. Your tastebuds adjust. You can even...

    What woman wouldn't want to hear, "You're gorgeous without the lipstick."? It is probably the lipstick/gloss. I was glutened myself by lipgloss. I had to ask my now husband what kind of lotion he was using on his face because it was making me break out in purple welts. We had only dated 6 or 7 times and it was no big deal. I would switch make up for...

    Now I have to rethink... Was I intolerant to millet and sorghum, or was it cross contaminated? I don't think I have the guts to try either again.

    Ughhh! Has the wedding turned your sister's head to mush or has she always been like this? Bring your own safe food and bake a gluten free cake! Have a safe and healthy celebration! Say congatulations to the happy couple! Just wait, they might have a Celiac child in the future!
