    How 'bout if we just call this ALL Celiac, with intestinal damage just being one of the possible symptoms. I don't see that destroying my intestine is any more, or any less, important than destroying my brain or destroying my pancreas. I would like to keep all of them intact, thank you very much.

    Ursula, you sound like us snotty Seattlites with our "double tall, soy, half-caf, extra hot, lattes"!

    I'm not entirely sure it means that. I think it means that when your cells die (as all cells do, eventually) they aren't cleaned up as quickly, so the DNA has time to stick around and have antibodies made against it. I think a high ANA titer can indicate an autoimmune disease, but it's not causing it. Like a fever can indicate an infection, but it's...

    Well, it sounds pretty awful, but it reminded me of a time a friend of mine had some really good pizza that she froze. When she thawed it, the crust was really nasty, so she scraped off the toppings and mixed them with rice. It tasted fabulous. I think that much flavor kinda overwhelms the rice and you get the taste of just the good stuff. I've never...

    All this is doing is proving something to the doctor. If you need the doctor to do this, then do it. If you don't need it, don't do it. You are in charge.

    OK, Why anyone would want to look like that on purpose is beyond me.

    Congrats!! I love making something that works. BTW, I just noticed that you need to update your kids ages on your signature, seein' as how the youngest is now four...

    From Wiki Canola was developed through conventional plant breeding from rapeseed[citation needed], an oilseed plant with roots in ancient civilization. The word "rape" in rapeseed comes from the Latin word "rapum," meaning turnip. Turnip, rutabaga, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, mustard and many other vegetables are related to the two canola species commonly...

    Hi Janny, Whole Foods and Trader Joe's both have gluten free selections. Uwajimaya in downtown Seattle has a lot of gluten-free Asian foods. There are a couple of gluten-free bakeries in the U district and the Elliot Bay Bookstore in downtown Seattle sells gluten-free treats.

    I buy from the bulk section. My store has all the non-gluten stuff on top and the gluten stuff down low so I don't worry about fallout. Sometimes I wonder about some dufus using the wrong scoop, but I haven't had a problem yet.

    YEA!!!!!!!

    If your local store doesn't carry them, you can always ask them to order stuff for you.

    I find that even the nastiest bread improves if you soak it in eggs and milk with a little vanilla and fry it up (french toast). Some you need to let soak a little longer or add a little more cinnamon or nutmeg or other spice, but most of them can be salvaged.

    I am looking forward to Christmas. I'll be going to my Mom's house armed with as many gluten-free df goodies as I can come up with!! I love a challenge, and this new way of cooking certainly qualifies.

    https://www.celiac.com/st_main.html?p_catid...-32106406408.c3 aged cheeses should be fine. ask about cheese sauces, skip the blue cheese or other moldy cheeses for now.

    Ask about flour, coatings, that sort of thing. The servers might not know, although the chef should have a clue. I've also just told them "No grains", which leaves out corn and rice (and usually potatoes and sometimes cheese, although I cannot for the life of me figure out why, especially the cheese!) But anyway, a steak house is a safer bet than other...

    corn tortillas, corn chips, cheese, instant mashed potatoes, a variety of soups, chocolate, some sort of cereal. I frequently come home late and starving so I keep a variety of things I can just eat. I also have a variety of flours, butter in the freezer, nuts in the freezer, crisco type stuff. As for gram, she really doesn't know that pasta is...

    There's always henna. It comes in a few different colors now.

    Turn off the TV, skip the local newspaper, listen to public radio. Last year I decided that everyone I know already has too much stuff, so I gave a donation to Heifer international and sent everyone a lovely email explaining that their Christmas gift is giving several families somewhere in Africa a future. I'm hoping that other members of my family will...

    Yeah! Dagnabbit! I'd chase y'all down and slap you around for saying otherwise if I didn't think I'd fall on my face as soon as I leaned forward to start running!!

    What are we truly thankful for? I'm thankful for a reason to pay attention to what I put into my body. I'm thankful for having true friends who go out of their way to take care of me.

    Are you sure?

    I make my own flour mixes that are about 1/3 rice flour, 1/3 potato/corn starch, and 1/3 (buckwheat, teff, amaranth, soy and a pinch of flax seed meal) in not very strict amounts. For lighter recipes (cakes and cookies) I might mix this with tapioca and sweet rice flour, but for most stuff I like the "healthy" taste the darker flours impart.

    I'm not going to go into the initial allergy question, but the tag question was "should we introduce it slowly?" If your son already has a reaction to gluten, just not one that you can see, introducing a lot of gluten at one time could cause a huge reaction. For that reason, if you plan to do a mini challenge to see how he responds, I would introduce...

    This sounds odd, but I find that listening to the Harry Potter books on tape (disc) puts me to sleep. I started by listening when I was really tired, so now I've created as sort of Pavlovian response to that guys voice. When I put a disc on, I fall asleep almost immediately. It worked for those 12:30am wake ups as well. And if sometimes it took a little...
