    So often I hear people asking how to make their own  healthy, gluten-free snacks. The following nut cracker recipe is easy, inexpensive, and yes it's also healthy. Feel free to substitute the nuts and seeds listed below for other nuts or seeds of your preference. I always like to soak my nuts before using them; soaked nuts are much easier to digest.
    Crunchy Nut Crackers
    Serving Size: Makes around 30-40 (depending on how the size of cracker you make.)
    Ingredients:

    2 cups mixed nuts of your choice: (cashew, almonds, pumpkin seeds and flax seeds work well) 1 egg 2 tbsp filtered water 1 1/8 tsp Himalayan salt Options: Top with sea salt, anise seeds, nigella seeds or some other seeds of your choice.To make:

    Preheat the oven at 360°F (180°C). Line two baking sh...

    Gorgonzola is a veined Italian blue cheese, made from unskimmed cow's and/or goat's milk.
    Contrary to popular belief, Gorgonzola, or blue cheese does NOT contain gluten. These days, blue cheese is no longer made with mold from stale bread as a starter, as it was once upon a time. The molds used to make commercial Gorgonzola and blue cheese are isolated for purity, and cultured in sterile conditions. They are gluten-free. That means that most people with celiac disease and gluten intolerance are free to eat most all blue cheeses.
    To celebrate that fact, I recently prepared a delicious beet salad with Gorgonzola, pear and arugula, which is one of my summer favorites. I just couldn't wait for summer to get started.

    This recipe is easy to make and delivers a tasty lobster salad that just screams: L-O-V-E!

      And yes, of course it's better to know and we will adjust. It's just, he's 7 and in our house we can control what he gets. But he plays soccer 3 times a week and in the changing room the boys share candies. I can and will tell him not to accept them any more, but "mistakes" will be made. I'm really burdened by the potential social impact...

      Options - 7 year old boy - Helicobacter pylori and serology

      Thank you for your reaction. The reference values are both "<10", although I found a medical paper from Netherlands (I'm Belgian) who use the same values and there the see a positive daignosis as twice more then 200 and a positive biopsie. I didn't see how to change this in my original message, sorry...

      Hi Kathleen Welcome to the forum. I am based in the UK so I am just picking this post up before our US based moderators appear. I think they will want to know the lab values of both of the figures you have provided us with (min/max reading) as they tend to vary - could you post those for us, please? We see a lot of coeliacs who also have helicobacter...

      Hi all, I'm very new at this and 'this' has been quite a rollercoaster ride. Last august my 7 year old son suddenly had these colic like pain attacks that would come a few times per day/night during 10 days. Because they were that bad and because our older daughter had her appendix taken out at 7, we ended up at ER twice to have him checked...
