    Great picture Stephanie.

    You didn't offend me. Thank you for posting about your thoughts/feelings about being gluten free when you so young.

    Welcome, They now know that once celiac, always celiac. It is vitally important for you to stay gluten free. As far as your son, testing in young children is unreliable. Really depends on how much damage is done. I would encourage you just continue breastfeeding. If you want to test, you could always try oatmeal later. I tried oatmeal with my...

    They are easy to read. I always like reading people's results from them. They are also very good at answering questions.

    Patti, I'd be curious too. I always like to read what genes people have. I know, strange.

    You're welcome! If you can think of anything you might like me to try and find in the cookbooks I have, let me know.

    Carla, I couldn't agree more. I wasn't raised that way but have become that way. Would have saved myself much heartbreak if I had been taught that from the beginning.

    Thanks for the update Trish. Will be looking for the next one. It will be nice for you to get some answers.

    I definately encourage breastfeeding irregardless of whether your wife goes gluten free or not. Definately try to encourage her not to make a mainstay of gluten though. I way overdid gluten and soy and my last child (now 10 months) developed eczema around 2-2 1/2 months. He's the one who led us to be diagnosed sensitive through enterolab. If your...

    Susan, Oops. What a week for you. I don't have a brain fog excuse for anything......can I use a kid fog excuse?

    I read fast. You're being too hard on yourself. Why prejudge someone before getting to know them. They may surprise you. It's up to you whether you want to take the chance or not. Remember the man on the roof waiting for God to save him and he refused everything sent his way?

    I'm wary of a lot of alternative medicine stuff too. Keep your eyes open. Is this where you are going to get your testing through Igenix? Sounds like a busy week. Don't you love those thought provoking, how am I supposed to remember that questionnaires? Try to get some rest today....kinda hard if you want to paint the ceiling though, as well as...

    Jessica, You can pm me to if you need to.

    Tanya, So glad to hear how well Megan is doing.

    We use Annalise Roberts Cookbook "Gluten Free Baking Classics" for our bread. I haven't tried any mixes as we are soy intolerant and tend to have problems with other beans as well. She does use dairy and eggs. We substitute the dairy but do eat eggs. Haven't made much aside from bread and muffins yet though. My children love the bread. Annalise uses...

    The calciums I listed are gluten free. Are the meds necessary? What do they do?
  17. AndreaB
    As far as I understand, Enterolab can't tell you you have Celiac. They tell you you have active gluten sensitivity. If you have 2 celiac genes than it would seem that it is definately celiac. Gluten Sensitivity/Intolerance and Celiac are pretty much the same thing. Gluten free for life.

    Do you have dough hooks? I have a Bosch Universal system and use the dough hooks to mix the dough. With my machine that's what they recommend. What I have done is use the spatula to scoop the mix into the pan and also use that to smooth it out a little. You'll find that dough hooks will prevent the batter from climbing.

    Lisa.... I don't know about osteopenia. I second Carla on talking to your doctor and getting some weight bearing excercise. My initial response is to continue breastfeeding as long as you can....unless the doctor thinks it will put your health at further risk. It would seem as long as you got your nutrients in, both of you would benefit. Make...

    That's right....I forgot to say something about the bracelets. I can't blame it on brain fog.....hmmmm will have to think of something. That's great Donna, about the bracelets!

    Boy, so much going on...... Let see, Susan, Yah Bulldogs (for losing so well)!!! Better tell any future boyfriend that you are bad luck if they are sports fans and break up with you. Donna, Ouch! I hate those kind of car repairs. Never ending bills.....I know how you feel. I put all our stuff on credit card so I get to stress...

    Sounds like a great trip Stephanie. How often can you rave about a place catering to celiacs? Will wait for you to get some rest and get back into the swing of things with Colin.....but am interested in seeing the new avatar.

    Welcome, If you want further proof I would recommend Enterolab. Click Open Original Shared Link for their site. Your doctor sounds like a good one. Not everyone has symtpoms. My family tested through enterolab and due to our numbers being lower I assume we would have tested negative by blood work. We didn't have any symptoms untile after we...

    Welcome Artsy! I have read that those foods we tend to be intolerant to are often the ones we crave.....especially gluten and dairy. Keep us posted on your test results.

    Thanks for touching bases Laura. Enjoy your time with your folks and hubby this weekend.
