I just signed up to do the run in San Diego (at Mission Bay), and the walk/run is taking place in other cities throughout the United States and Canada on the...
Wow, I never thought of that. I would do what I do with everything else: go and ask the tatto guys where they get their ink, and then call the manufacturers. I...
Dear Cliff - There are lots of celiac (or celiac sprue) sites on the internet. If you do a search on *celiac* I'm sure you'll come up with lots of good...
And if you're afraid of corn tortillas for the rest of your life, as you said at the end of your post, don't be! There are more options out there than you...
Hey there Cliff in NYC -- here's what I know about celiac / sprue as I have been a diagnosed celiac for 20 years now, and I hope it helps. The blood test...
Ok - so what about the hemoglobin (sp) tests? I just took my 5 year old into a specialist since he's been gluten-free for 28 months. I just wanted to do a...
I think the doctor is more concerned about his pocket than he is about your son. I have heard of people going yearly, but even that in my opinion is not ...
Tara - thank you for your reply. Asymptomatic - I'm assuming that means one who has many symtoms of Celiac disease. My son has virtually none. In fact, he had...
Asymptomatic means NO visible symptoms... therefore your son would be considered asymptomatic. Due to this fact, you might want to go ahead with the tests....
So - having a closed cupboard with cereal, bread, crackers and soup is sadistic? You make it sound as though I put the gluten food on the table displayed so...
Let's just take a breath and step back for a moment -- realize several important facts and take action. Dr.'s are still dealing with (and will continue to for...
Sorry to everyone for my emotional response to A. Capir who said I was sadistic for having gluten in my house. I just got a bit worked up about it and I was...
A., Believe me, I understood what you wrote. You said it was sadistic to have gluten foods out where the child can see it. I guess it would be sadistic if you...
I'm new to CD, having just been diagnosed (via biopsy) 4 days ago. Most of the experimentation I've noticed on this group is for those who exhibit immediate...
Barbara, it is so good to hear your sensible and down to earth approach to dealing with this life-long ailment that we all seem to have. Yes, children and ...
Hi everyone! Im Lynne. Im a 36yr old,full-time,stay-at-home- homeschooling mom of 6 kids, 3 of each, under the age of 12. Our youngest one has cerebral...
Has anyone ever heard of using immuotherapy (allergy shots) to treat celiac disease? I ask because recently my long-time allergy doctor discussed this with me ...
Hi Ann - This is just my opinion (I'm not a doctor or anything official like that) - but I don't believe immunotherapy would work for celiacs because celiac...
LOL You're not gay, you just like to cook! I'm glad it's the case that not all men that like to cook are gay, or I'd really be worried about my husband. So,...
I would be really worried too!! Sure you can have the recipe, but you have to let me know how it turns out. I had to experiment with it to get the right ...
I forgot, the yogurt frosting is simply whip cream, strawberry yogurt and strawberry\sugar sauce blended together to taste. I found that pancakes are made ...
Maybe I should start from the beginning. I was diagnosed with IBS when I was 5 years old or so. My mom has IBS and ulcerative colitis (never tested for...
I desparately need some advice. How do you cook the quinoa or rice or other GF pastas so they don't turn to mush? My dh does most of the evening cooking, and...
Try the gluten free diet -- did you ever have a biopsy of the small intestine? That one is usually a sound diagnosis for celiac. Looking for more info? Check...
Well, I've found that the brown rice pastas are horrible. Haven't tried the quinoa yet. The pasta I've found that's the most like wheat is the white rice...
... In my experience, the quality of gluten-free pastas really varies a lot by brand. I discovered a gluten-free store in Milwaukee WI last year when I was...
