ARCHIVED Optimal Diet For Celiacs
AndreaB replied to Phila's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
As far as I've read dairy actually leaches calcium from your bones. I'm a meat eater gone lacto ovo veg, gone ovo veg, gone vegan and back to meat again. We are also allergic to soy and some beans. We feel better back on the meat and only buy the grass fed beef and natural or organic chicken mainly. We do eat some wild salmon and turkey also. I think... -

It's the Megan thread. I thing it's Megan's gagging isn't getting any better or something like that. It's almost always on the view new posts pages. Kids and babies section. -
ARCHIVED My Daughter May Be Allergic To Rice
AndreaB posted a topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
My daughter has been complaining of her tummy hurting when she eats. Pretty much every meal has rice with/in it in some form. I want to try to eliminate it but she is an extremely picky eater. I told her she has to start eating more meat and veggies if I'm going to pull her off all rice. Right now she considers eating meat as a bite or two. Do any of... -
ARCHIVED Gluten Challenge Update
AndreaB replied to penguin's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Biopsies are hit and miss. If it comes back negative you have the choice of going gluten free or not. I recommend gluten-free though. We were tested by enterolab, which is expensive but more sensitive than the blood test and can catch an intolerance before it does a lot of damage. www.enterolab.com if you want to check it out. -

That's a relief about your Mom Donna. Hoping hubby gets home early so he can make pancakes...otherwise I might have to, or figure something else out. -
ARCHIVED How Did You Get Your Diagnosis?
AndreaB replied to emcmaster's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I had an allergy test done to see what could be causing the problems with my infant son. He had broken out with eczema. Came back allergic to wheat/gluten/gliadin/soy/dairy among other things. I decided to run the family (except infant) through enterolab and discovered that 3 out of 4 of us had an active intolerance and my oldest son had mild malabsorption... -

Don't you dare Rachel! Do you want to be sick in bed for a long time again. -

Julie, I love your new picture! There is an interesting link on TCA's thread that Rhonda posted about sulfites if you want to check it out. Do you think it could be too many tortillas? Anyone like the "little house" series on here? My daughter watched two episodes this morning and now is on another two. It keeps them quiet when the baby is... -
ARCHIVED Gluten Challenge Update
AndreaB replied to penguin's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I'm so relieved that the detergent seems to be the problem. I keep forgeting to NOT lick the envelopes. Seth had a minor skin irritation which must have been from that. Cheese pizza....boy does that sound good...make mine extra cheese. Did any of you frequent Godfathers in years past? Now there's cheese! Of course I liked Pizza Hut's stuffed crust... -

Welcom back Patti. Sorry you didn't feel well on your trip. I agree about being home. We want to plan an overnighter probably later this summer to drive down to Winston OR for the Noah's Ark exhibit and the wild life refuge as well as drive to Bandon to a wildlife park there. It's like a wildlife petting zoo. Lots of goats and deer run around... -

ARCHIVED Megan's Gagging Isn't Any Better
AndreaB replied to TCA's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Rhonda, I believe Ursula has a link on salactilites (sp?). If you hit members on the top of the page by search you can put in u and it will come up with users that start with u. If the list is too long, then at the bottom of the page you can search her name or part of it. -

AndreaB replied to TCA's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Rhonda, Wow, thank you for that post. I didn't realize sulfites were in so many things . Just like the hidden MSG . I too with they would leave our food supply alone. Tanya is sure to appreciate the info. Tanya, I hope last night went well. Hugs for you and Megan. I too wish I could help more. We love you and are lifting you guys up... -
ARCHIVED Update On Our Son

That's a wonderful story Vincent! I didn't realize all the problems he had as a baby and then with his hearing. Praise the Lord that that was caught on time. -

Your welcome. It is depressing to shell out all the money but it is a relief to find out where you stand. At least I think so. -

Evie, That must have been hard for you. I often wonder if my parents will be in accidents during travels. My mom and stepdad drive to various little resorts through Trendwest I think it is. My dad drives up here (to Washington) twice a year. He's 78 years old. I really feel for the children who lose their parents early in life. Anytime would be... -

Julie, Good point. OK Chelsea, I'm concerned now. Please check with the doctor if changing detergents doesn't work. Did you say the biopsy was in August? -

AndreaB replied to Sarah8793's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I'm not Sarah but we got the main one for $369 that included the dairy and we also got the soy/egg/yeast for $199. That's all the tests they offer as the $369 includes everything else since they are doing a special on the dairy. -

Rachel, If I didn't know better I'd ask what you've been drinking. OK, so is it sleep or glasses? Or are you going to blame the moon? I must be posting on the wrong thread...maybe this moon thing is getting to me. -

Floridian, We love you and are crying with you. I'm supposed to be taking care of dinner, but my daughter decided to cook the sausages and both her and my oldest son are feeding the baby mashed banana. -

AndreaB replied to TCA's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Boy Tanya, poor Megan. I don't want her to have another spell but I would rather she have one while she's hooked up so they can try and determine what is wrong. Our thoughts and prayers continue to be with you. -

Thanks Rachel. I prefer furry critters. With my thoughts on your ex, I'll say he's (bearded dragon) is cuter. -
