    Recipe for butter from Ten Talents by Rosalie Hurd Into the blender put: 1/2 cup water 1/2 cup carrot juice OR 1 cup water & carotene Add. 2 Tbs Powdered soy milk (I omit this) 1 tsp salt 1 Tbs. Coconut meal (Optional) (I don't use this either) Blend well then add slowly while blending: 1/2 cup soy or safflower oil...

    Sue, It certainly sounds like you have gluten intolerance. All the diseases you listed tie back to gluten. Doesn't mean gluten necessarily causes it, but is exacerbates it. I would definately suggest gene testing. I would go through enterolab for that as they also recognize gluten sensitive genes (as well as celiac genes). The whole panel for them...

    Carolyn, I am also gluten, soy and dairy free. It is hard to begin with, but entirely doable. Mango04 has been free from all three for awhile, you could always pm her for ideas if need be. I have recipes for cashew cheese and also a butter recipe that primarily uses coconut oil, carrot juice and regular oil.

    I agree Lynne. Let's get a picture of you. Jen.....take one of her, then she'll have no excuse.

    I tested through enterolab after being very gluten light for 1 1/2 months. I had allergy testing done and cut out wheat and soy among other things. The only gluten products I wasn't allergic to were barley and oats which I didn't eat much of. I talked to my doctor about celiac testing before I ordered the test from enterolab. She was willing to do the...

    A full abruption of the placenta would be scary. I know someone who went through that as well. I don't know how early her baby was. I only had a partial abruption and wasn't aware of it. They had wanted to do an external version (I think its called that) to turn her around but couldn't risk it. I forgot to add that with one of the boy's (I think...

    Judy, Glad to see you're feeling better today.

    I've had three sections. My first was my daughter. I was told she'd be small because I hadn't gained much weight. At 38 weeks we wound up in the hospital as I had started bleeding. It was determined that she was breech but the bleeding didn't continue. The doctor ordered me to couch potato status. One week later at our appointment I was having mild...

    McCormick is gluten free but has whey or something like that in I think. Fiddle Faddle has a wonderful taco seasoning recipe. If you want to make your own, let me know and I'll post fiddle-faddle's recipe.

    Just because you don't have the genes for celiac doesn't mean that you don't have what has been labeled non celiac gluten sensitivity. They have also labeled genes that tend toward that.

    Way to go Chelsea! I thought it would come off easily. Judy, I'm sorry about your "friends". I agree with Carla and Julie.....the friends who understand are on the forum. The only problem is if they are on while you are. Picard, Hello! How are things with you? Julie, HI!!!! Patti HI!!!! Carla ...

    You could still have a gluten sensitivity. Enterolab is much more sensitive than blood draws as the intestines produce the antibodies and I assume after so much damage go to the bloodstream. Enterolab tests for celiac as well as gluten sensitive genes. I would hate to see you not worry about getting glutened when you go out or start eating it occasionally...

    It certainly won't hurt you to go gluten free and see if you recognize a difference in how you feel. If your blood work comes back negative and you want something more sure, you could get tested by enterolab. They do stool samples. The antibodies are in the intestine first, then the blood. It may be that you have damage without it having hit the blood...

    Rachel, I'm sorry. I meant the gold with the amalgams in the mouth at the same time.

    Chebe sells a mix for pizza (as well as other things). We also like kinnickinnik pizza crusts. I liked enjoy life sandwich bread if you don't want to make your own. We also like food for life breads (not ezekial though, they're wheat). They also make rice and a millet one. That would take care of toast and eggs. They do make a gluten free oat that is...

    I haven't tried the submarine sandwich bread yet, but I have been making the basic sandwich bread. I bake 4 loaves at a time and keep one sliced in the fridge. It keeps with our family. My children go through a loave every 2-3 days. If my husband has any bread it goes by in 2 days. I'll have to try the submarine bread but have been doing the other to...

    Welcome Kibbie! I have 3 children, 2 have tested positive through enterolab with gluten sensitivity. My youngest hasn't been tested yet. I agree with nantzie. Read, read, read on this forum. The diet can be overwhelming at first, especially if you are not used to reading labels. Make sure you cut out all gluten sources....wheat/rye/barley...

    Rachel and Donna, It really sounds like these gold crowns are not good at all. I have porcelain and my dentist didn't even offer gold. Of course, I have no insurance and had a lot of work to do...but still, it never came up. It definately sounds like you got toxined or poisoned Rachel. Donna, it sounds like you are heading that direction. I...

    Tanya, Everything sounds good, including the decision to stop pumping. Thank you for the updates.....I always read, just don't always post.

    Try cutting back on the liquid or adding more flour. You want it to be thick. I'll look up annalise's recipe if you'd like and see what her liquid/dry works out to. I make 4 loaves at a time......it's 8 cups flour mix with 3 1/2 cups milk, 8 eggs and 3/4 cup oil for four loaves. Of course you also have the rest of the ingredients.

    Isn't it interesting the way these tests work out. The one with obvious symptoms having such a lower number. My family is 3 for 5 right now since I haven't had the baby tested yet. Next year we hope to have him tested although he is gluten free now. I gave him oatmeal baby cereal for a week and he was crabby the whole week. Got better after I put him...

    I just bought Dangerous Grains. Have you read that? It goes into autoimmune diseases that gluten is associated with. I don't think anyone is saying gluten is the only cause of these but a part. I've also read the same with vaccinations, msg. My daughter had HSP (Henoch Schonlein Purpura) earlier this year. I will be curious if it returns with...

    In the annalise roberts cookbook she says to bake for 10 minutes, cover with foil and bake for another 40-45 minutes. I forget the temp....between 350-400. Do you cover yours with foil? That will allow you to cook it without it burning.
  25. AndreaB
    If the blood test was borderline positive then he would need to be gluten free for life. The antibodies in the blood come up after the antibodies in the intestine. You would need to call or email enterolab and see if their test would still be accurate for one so young after 1 year gluten free. You could still do the dairy through enterolab if you want...
