Haven't read that Celiac's have higher incidences of lung problems, usually liver, pancreas, thyroid and intestines. I eat movie popcorn and have no reactions...
That sounds totally yummy! Thanks for the recipe. -Jen ... ____________________________________________________________________________________ Take the...
I have had CFS for 12 years. I have taken flu shots without any negative consequences for the last several years. I think the flu might be a worse senario for...
If you don't trust the CDC, just refer to Dr. Alessio Fasano, professor of pediatrics, medicine, and physiology at the U of Maryland School of Medicine, who is...
I ended up with the Flu, the real flu one year. I was flat on my back for 7 days. My highest fever was 104. I have never been so sick before in my life. I...
... I haven't eaten movie popcorn lately, but I eat a lot of microwave popcorn at home. I've heard on TV lately about it supposedly being dangerous to inhale...
I think we're talking about two very different belief systems here. And it seems there's room for both. Just as some people think as long as a research center...
Hi everyone, I don't have much time to type, but I wanted to quickly introduce myself. My name is Robyn, I'm 31 and a SAHM to two sweet boys. I started...
We use a Salton air popper, and it's pretty good. Now that you mention it, though, the popcorn isn't as crunchy as it could be. We've used this for many...
I like Hot Air poppers and add the butter/oil after its done popping.. the corn is crispy and the butter doesn't make it soggy. Just a preference, but I get to...
I dunno about the hot air popper but you can make "homemade" microwave popcorn - just put enough popcorn kernals to cover the bottom into a paper bag (like a...
Robyn...I like the analogy of pregnancy. Celiac is alot like being pregnant. You can't be " a little pregnant on the test" and you can't be "a little celiac"...
Hi Robyn. Let me tell you my husband's experience. He had ulcerative colitis (also an immune system disease) until he had his colon removed. Then years...
Jessica, I am new to celiacs also,but the way I understand it is, the blood tests aren't always conclusive That is why they do the endoscopy for the biopsy....
Your comment on celiac not being blood borne makes sense, but lotions don't just go on your body. You put them on using your hands (usually). That means that...
Just to clarify, the posts were regarding whether or not gluten can be absorbed through the skin. That's not my opinion, but a matter long-established by the...
Diane- There are false negatives in the blood testing, but it is rare (I've yet to hear of them) hear of false positives. Keep doing your research and you will...
I'm not saying that gluten on the skin is harmless. In fact, I can't use any products containing wheat germ oil, or wheat protein, because I get a rash, even...
Just a suggestion about home popped popcorn....my dad is a popcorn fanatic and used to have an under the counter air popper that worked great until he wore it...
Is this popper you speak of a hot air popper? Personally I think a hot air popper makes the best popcorn, and with these types of poppers you can't season...
my blood test was postive, but they did a biopsy also, to diagnosis some other things too. I developed the arthralgia that goes with it. I have had one...
Over the many years I suffered with Celiac symptoms, I had the blood tests for Celiac several times and it was always negative. The doctors looked at me as...
I wanted to pass on that my daughter picked up at Krogers a GF cracker called "Mary's Gone Crackers" they are even manufactured in a dedecated wheat...
I would have the blood test done again if its that close.. the problem with a biopsy is that it could still show nothing worth noting..it could be likely you...
I don't think I've ever told my story in this community other than a couple of side notes, so I thought I'd share mine too - I also wasn't diagnosed by...
Dear Keith, I feel so bad for your little boys! You didn't say how old they are, but it sounds like they are quite young. A couple of things I found comfort...
I appreciate all the helpful replies. Would it be useful if I ate *more* gluten in this week leading up to the endoscopy? I know not to eliminate it. I...
Thanks Dana for the encouraging words.. actually I'm pretty pragmatic/optimistic, but my wife who not CD is very upset.. its tough to think your children might...
