    Your kidding! I know you said you weren't. I don't watch movies. Rachel, be sure to tell me about this movie.

    Dawn, I have some agar agar that I use in bread instead of gelatin. Haven't tried it in the cheese but I don't see why it wouldn't work. I actually haven't made the cheese to set up for quite awhile as I've been using it with the other cheese sauce to make mac and cheese. Here's a description (which you probably already now) from my cookbook....

    I'm referring to Rachel and Carla's posts about men being friends. I think it would be very difficult for a man to remain friends with a woman over the long haul. Usually if the woman they are interested in isn't interested back they will drift away, or if they don't, once they find someone else the friendship will be over. I don't know too many women...

    Julie, Yep.

    Hi Julie!!! I'm just heading in to get Seth to bed. You guys will all be gone by the time I get back . Maybe he'll go to sleep quickly. If Mitch gets home before that then I'll not be on til around 10, unless he's too tired to get on the computer. He's been really tired after his work this week since he's still recovering from surgery. I think...

    I kinda figured that. Otherwise you drove like a maniac to get home so quickly. I probably wouldn't feel like driving either....that's why I live near a bigger city. I still try to get down there sometime early enough to allow me to be outta there by 3:00, otherwise I get bogged down. We had the battery replaced in the van a few weeks ago and something...

    I wrote on your other thread.....but, we'll be waiting for you.

    We'll be waiting for you to get back online.

    I hear you about the cost. I've put everything on credit card, even though I don't like to do that. I wanted answers, we'll be able to pay it off in the next year, barring any other unplanned things. I still have to test my youngest but he's only 10 months.

    Rachel, I don't want you to have mercury toxicity either. I just want you to find some answers to why your health hasn't improved. It beginning to sound like this could be part of, or, the answer. Certainly sounds suspicious. At least you are seeing a doctor that specializes in treatment for this. I also agree, since your doctor said it's better...

    Me thinks he'd cover for himself quite well based on his past postings. Where has he been......certainly not visiting us recently.
  12. AndreaB
    Rachel, That's great news about not having Lyme. One more thing off the list. Mercury toxicity here we come. At least testing and more than likely treatment. I'm glad you were referred to a doctor that was willing to start to try and get some answers for you.
  13. AndreaB
    Isn't it.
  14. AndreaB
    Is she willing at all to consider testing for this? I know you've mentioned the kids aren't really interested in looking into it. Does this include her? She really needs to start looking at everything, and celiac is part of that.
  15. AndreaB
    Just a caution. Soy can cause the same problems with the intestines as gluten. I'll dig up the article I posted in the Other food intolerances section if you would like, or you can skim through topic headings, either way.

    I couldn't agree more. He's made the choice to support you in this and knows your issues. He's even trying to help you choose right. You need to take him shopping more often. My husband has been saying the same thing to me that you just told Rachel.....since page three hundred and something. It's nice to have the males perspective on this...

    As far as store bought bread my family has liked enjoy life sandwich bread, and food for life breads (not ezekiel), their rice breads...they also have a millet bread. I make homemade bread from Annalise Roberts gluten-free Baking Classics cookbook. It does use dairy and eggs in the cookbook. I just sub the dairy. I can eat eggs so I don't have to worry...

    Vincent, I think you spelled it out for her. But.....TheDave is not here to defend himself.

    Kathy Ann, It could be gluten that is contributing to the problem. If she is only eating one meal a day, that is contributing a lot! Her body is going into starvation mode and will not let go of those pounds. Would she just consider the basic test with enterolab for $99. That is just the gluten sensitivity test. Has she had any testing done for...

    Are you still on dairy? Dairy (cheese) could be causing you problems as well. If you can, I would suggest going off of it for six months and giving yourself a chance to heal. As far as the diet, I too have found it more expensive only because I was a vegan before hand and lived off of gluten and soy. Your basic meats, veggies and fruits need to be a...

    Heather, I haven't been through this, but from what I've read the full celiac blood panel should tell you (if the numbers are high enough in your blood) whether you have celiac or not. The biopsy can rule it in, but can't rule it out as they could miss a spot that is damaged or you may not have much damage yet. DQ2 is a celiac gene.
  23. AndreaB
    Yah, Where's TheDave? Rachel, That's pretty sad when you become so bored with your diet that any old least ingredient ice cream is good. I don't think I'll be able to talk hubby into letting me have any more ice cream. We do have sorbet once in awhile but bananas were on my allergic (intolerant, IgG) list so I don't have them very...

    As far as I know Enterolab has the most genes that they look for, but I could be wrong on that. I would think you'd be able to order the gene test all by itself from them. Enterolab tests for the "main" celiac genes as well as the gluten sensitive genes. Open Original Shared Link

    Alice, Everyone has given such good advice already. I wanted to add that you could go through enterolab with a stool sample instead of undergoing a biopsy if you don't want to go through that again. Definately get the blood panel. Enterolab isn't accepted by a lot of doctors yet and if your bloodwork is positive you really wouldn't need to pursue...
