    It is a really good thing gluten free products have a BAD reputation right now. Every one thinks they taste terrible and the price is so much higher.

    Perhaps you might want to look into Eosinophilic Esophagitis. Those food globs that are from previous meals might have been stuck in your esophagus. Trying to lie down causes painful GERD like feeling , but definately small "burp" vomitting is a symptom.

    I was totally bored tonight and decided to stop by. I went through my Daughter's Celiac diagnoses at 16 months old and her Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EOE) when she was 6 years old. She is now 15. My advice... Get to a gastro. doc. ASAP Discuss what an endoscopy will be ruling out/diagnosing. As EOE is suspect, the "trigger" may be an airborne...

    Have you seen pictures of undernourished alcoholics (beer belly), starving children, end stage chronic illness? All have large protruding bellies. The body does try and hold on to all nutrients and tries to protect vital internal organs in the trunk of the body. It is a misleading visual for starvation, inflammation, constipation in a person who can be...

    You were on a gluten free diet for the blood draw - so it is useless. If you are doing a good thorough job eating gluten free it should be negative. Your positive gut damage is proof of Celiac. It has been said Celiacs need about 2 years to heal the gut. I did hear of a case of medication (for a mental disease) caused Celiac like gut damage...

    Could be symptoms of gallbladder issues. What tests were done to rule out gallbladder issues? I had my gallbladder taken out a few years back and felt so much better after. I tell you don't fear having a surgery that is going to make you feel so much better. (If it is your gallbladder.)

    We have eaten Culver's 3 times now. It has been a good experience. There is no ketchup, mustard, or mayo put on to save you from cross-contamination. You should have received single serve packets. From what I observed, the buns are placed on a warming rack. I had one bun out of 4 that the bag was open. I examined the bun and the area where to...

    I can very likely be a vitamin D deficiency from gut damage and season change. Just think about the added stress of holiday/ family gatherings/ society in general with current issues. (Just recently my spouse's Christmas party and a few people mentioned the California shooting and were definitely on edge.) Relax, take care of yourself, and definitely...

    Did you happen to use any spray starch in the sewing room? Haven't used spray starch in years to even check if wheat starch is in the ingredients. What about getting a glass top for the coarse wood table? (If it is a special order size piece of glass, don't forget to get the edges polished. You are fully adopted part of the family here now. You...

    The top 8 allergens are the most complex protein chains to digest. Learning to cook gluten free and egg free is quite challenging. I noticed a lot of gluten free cooking relies on the eggs to build more texture. There are a lot of ways to replace eggs in baking, but keep in mind what you are replaces the egg for. Texture (light and fluffy), taste...

    Ummm.. Look at your daughter's throat. Are the tonsils enlarged? Are there creamy spots on the tonsils, back of throat, or tongue. Does her breath/ throat/mouth have a bad smell? You may have found an "allergen" for her, but what exactly is the reaction she is having? If there is any sign of the above you seriously need to look at information...

    Do you know how many people could not get a diagnoses in a timely manner from doctors? Articles ten years ago put an average of 10 years for Celiac diagnoses. 10 YEARS! Doctors don't get paid by the insurance company if they don't write in a diagnoses. So they write in in IBS as a diagnoses. I won't even go into what a sad excuse for a doctor screwed up...

    The general thinking: People can have a gene associated with Celiac. DQ2 and DQ8 are the most recognized Celiac genes. (Not the only genes associated with Celiac.) Something has to "trigger" the immune system to start attacking healthy tissue. Any illness, or stress can be a possible trigger. EBV has been mentioned by quite a few posters here. But...

    I made the stove top mac n cheese with the Mueller's gluten free elbow noodles and everyone loved it. (even a gluten eater teen age boy!)

    It makes sense that psyllium can create the binding texture, but the possible gut issues!!? Some one on the board made the dinner rolls and raved about them and the cookbook. The ripping on the different products wasn't quite fair, some breads without other allergen ingredients are needed for people. Comparing a dairy free, egg free bread to other...

    I just got the America's Test Kitchen How Can It Be Gluten Free Cookbook. It has recipe's calling for the use of Powdered psyllium husk. Does anyone have experience with using these recipes? A strong preference for particular brand of psyllium husk? The cookbook has Now brand pictured. The cookbook has it's own flour blend recipe, but seems to strongly...

    Are there any other symptoms? Swollen tonsils, tonsil stones, puss on the tonsils, very bad breath? Keep a food journal. (journal meaning activities, vomit (amount of vomit), abdominal cramping, headaches, and include every detail you can and see if any type of pattern shows up) This is going to take some time as in the case of eosinophilic esophagitis...

    My latest gluten free achievement was a chocolate molten lava cake served on a dab of Mrs. Richardson's caramel. YUM!

    OK now I need the recipe for the chocolate chestnut torte with cream cheese frosting!

    Rabbit breeds are constantly evolving. The Mini Lop was smaller than the French Lop, so it was named mini lop. The Holland Lop was developed after the Mini Lop. Actually working in a dwarf gene. (breeding the Holland Lop is challenging ~ 2 dwarf genes and the baby usually dies, 2 "normal" genes and the baby/kit usually dies during birth as it is too large...

    We have 2 bunnies up for adoption. A boy (buck) who broke his leg, lilac agouti/ Lynx Holland Lop; and a girl (doe) she is a bit overweight - Chestnut Agouti Holland Lop.

    Gluten free & egg free is tough. Lived through it though, and learned a lot. Go for your old recipes that have only 1 or 2 eggs to replace. Think about why the egg was used in the recipe to determine which way you will replace it. (lighter texture?, hold the other ingredients together?, and how much flavor was this egg adding to the dish?) For...

    I'm with you nvsmom! Just seems creepy. I will be cutting open all peaches and eating them sliced from now on. Second guessing my plan to plant that peach tree.....

    That's a good one! Do mind if we borrow and make t-shirts?
