    Thanks fo the info about the scope! If it comes down to it, I will push to skip it. Here is the link I ws reading. Particularly the second paragraph under small bowel biopsy. Open Original Shared Link

    I hear you, Its not an easy decision. We should get back our boys' results in a week or so. Im probably jumping the gun even worrying about it before then. I hope your son doesn't have too bad of a day!

    I do know that at least in the beginning there was more going on than just celiac disease or a gluten intolerence because i was gluten free during my pregnancies and neither of the boys had ever been exposed to gluten until they were well over two. However, gluten would have fallen squarely in the do not eat list for them because it is a protien. You...

    Both my children (now 3yo and 5yo) were diagnosed with severe protien allergy as infants. They were on nutramigen AA for the first year, and elecare until they were 2. Other than their formula they were on a strict meat free, milk free, egg free, soy free, bean free diet. At about two they were each given a clean bill of health. However, we have some lingering...

    I've used teff flour before to make injera bread for Ethiopian dishes, but never whole grain teff. I was at my health food store looking for teff flour one time and they only had the whole grain, and she suggested grinding it myself. Sounds like a lot of work, but it's worth a try!

    Thank God none of us have a nut allergy Luke gets all of his protein from his formula. It's broken down into individual amino acids that he can digest. So I'm not worried about trying to fill that gap for him. For me, I've gone this far without having to be a short order cook for my family (although it seems like everyone has one need or another), but this...

    Yes, all meat. He can't tolerate protein. He started passing blood the night we brought him home from the hospital. We took him to our pediatric GI (who is the best in the area), and he diagnosed him. He gets most of his nutrition from a speciality formula that costs us 50 a can (that lasts about 3 days). He will probably be on it much longer than babies...

    My 11 month old son is allergic to soy, eggs, milk, and meat. This is probably something he will outgrow by the time he is three.....but until then we need to find something to feed him. I have celiac disease. Does anyone have ANY recipes that would fit all of these criteria? I could add non gluten free things to his if I had to, but I'd prefer if there...

    ginnybean, I'm really sorry that your family is giving you such a hard time about this. It is not something you chose, and your husband should understand that. Does he understand that gluten free isn't a vegetarian diet? If I was you, I would make it perfectly clear to him that he is going to be finding his manly self in the kitchen cooking his own dinner...

    Shanmegjilal & foodiegurl, It really does get a lot better. You will never get away from reading labels all together, but I would say I don't have to read the label on 95% of what I eat. I just know what I can and can't have, what brands are good and what aren't. I haven't had an accidental glutening in 6 months or so either (and I'm very sensitive...

    ang1e0251 - You mentioned how your husband looks out for you. I'm lucky enough to have a husband that is the same way. No one has seen the transformation in my health like he has, and he knows how important it is that I stay away from gluten. He is a skilled label reader and knows all the right probing questions to ask at restaurants I should list that...

    I haven't been on this site in forever, but 4-5 years ago I was on here a LOT. It all seemed so overwhelming at first and this site helped me learn the intricate details of living with celiac disease and introduced me to a lot of great people who I could relate to. As time went on, living with celiac disease became second nature and I spent less and less...

    Currently, no he is not gluten free. He was gluten free of course as an infant though and the symptoms were still there. We also have tried lactose free, and soy free on our own. Ian has been on the medication for a week and from what I have read online sulfasalazine is supposed to work in 2-5 days. I'm waiting for a call back from the Dr......

    I suppose this isn't exactly a celiac disease question as my son has already been tested and the results were negative, but I have received so much advice and help from this community and I'm hoping that someone has some insight into our situation. My son is 21 months old and has always had a digestive problem. When he was a newborn he had up to 10 dirty...

    ARCHIVED Why?!?

    cgilsing replied to cgilsing's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    I haven't verified with the company about the chili powder. It's kroger brand. I know it's not CCed.....I've been gluten-free for a long time and I don't use measuring spoons anyway...I'm a guestamate kind of cook Does anybody know about Kroger brand chili powder. The label doesn't specify allergens, and it lists the word "spices"....so maybe that is...

    ARCHIVED Why?!?

    cgilsing posted a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    I rarely make chili because I always feel like this afterwards! But my husband wanted some so....now I feel like crap. I can't understand why?? Unless I'm missing something it should be gluten free! ground beef, yellow onion, Campbell's tomato juice, Kroger red beans, red wine, chili powder, red pepper, black pepper, salt, vinegar, cheddar cheese on top...

    I've always had some degree of DH, but it used to just be an annoying side note to my other symptoms. It seems like it is getting worse the older I am though. In the last two months I've had two DH outbreaks that were sever by my standards, without any of my other classic symptoms (at least not any that were really bad)

    I was just thinking back about how close I was to figuring out what was wrong with me years before the medical professionals did! Did anyone come close to figuring it out on there own? When I was still in high school I worked part time at Jimmy Johns and part time at a vets office. I realized that every night after eating my dinner at Jimmy Johns I was...

    From time to time I break out in blisterlike bumps on my fingers (mainly on the joints) and elbows. They are raised, red, hard, and they hurt. Does this sound like DH? or is it something else?

    Every time I see those commercials it irritates me! They keep having some woman on their who started having digestive problems right after her baby was born or another woman who has the same digestive problems as the other women in her family and then they claim that by eating Dannon yogurt all problems will be cured. I keep thinking those people should...

    no, she hasn't been following a strict diet. I have tried to convince her to do it, but she still cheats. She cooks with rice flour, and tries to avoid it at home, but especially when she eats out....she cheats...

    My mom went to the doctor this morning and they suspect that she has RA. We are now waiting on the blood test results. Several people in our family have celiac disease (mom included), but we have no experience with RA. I know people with celiac disease are more likely to develop RA. She is 61 years old. Right now it is in her fingers and wrists. Does...

    I was very much the opposite. I have always hated "bready" foods. I rarely ate breakfast because I just couldn't choke down the usual offerings of bran muffing, waffles, pancakes, and cereal. I never had a thing for pasta and although I was excited to find out they make gluten-free beer....I remembered after one bottle why I don't really care I have always...

    I've been in the one in Bloomington! I only had a drink They did say that they could do gluten free though! Small world....I used to live in Bloomington, and we visit my in-laws up there at least once a month. I'll try the food next time!
