I throw a few slices of bread (any kind you like; I use Udi's) in a food processor and grind it to the size crumbs I want. If you want dry bread crumbs, put the sliced bread in a slow oven (about 250) and bake until dried out all the way through and lightly browned. This is how I use up the end pieces from a loaf.

What a loving thing you are doing by going gluten free with her. She is a very lucky lady.

I understand that a physical or emotional trauma can set off latent Celiac. I had a bout of breast cancer, which, let me assure you, is physical AND emotional. Shortly thereafter I started with the nausea and diareah. I kept seeing my internest... had gall bladder removed... took medicine... no improvement. Finally, I was so depleted that my dear husband took me to the emergency room where my b/p was 60/40 and they couldn't find a pulse. After several days in the hospital with no improvement the GI on call looked at my records. Her first question was "Has she been tested for celiac?" The rest is history. Endoscopy and no more gluten. I am doing great and life has never been better. Thank God far the accidental encounter with a doctor who understood Celiac. Otherwise, I would be dead.

I admit it... I am a Udi's junkie. I guess after all this time (I've been gluten-free for almost five years) I don't really remember what real bread tastes like. I cut the end pieces into fourths and toast it slowly in the oven. Break it up for crutons, crush for bread crumbs or (my favorite) use as a base for appetizers. Try spreading the bread sticks with Laughing Cow cheese or anything else you like.

I believe it all comes down to personal responsibility. No one but me is responsible for what I eat. I read all labels and make my decisions based on that. If a company doesn't accurately label their products, I just don't buy from them.
I do not think most companies (or, really, any companies) are trying to poison us. They have a responsibility the their stock holders to make a profit. If using dedicated lines would cut deeply into the bottom line, they don't do it. Make your own decisions about what you will or will not eat.

Similar story to one above. Sick off and on for a long time. No idea why. Finally got REALLY sick and wound up in hospital near death. Really cool GI on call diagnosed and had endoscopy done. Totally slick. Never heard of Celiac before.Learned about Gluten free life quickly. Felt MUCH better in a couple of weeks. Been gluten-free for 5 years now. So normal to me. It's just the way I eat. And I eat well. Good food and it really gets easy after while.Don't panic and don't think it's the end of life as you know it. I eat out, have guests in and do all the things I used to do. I'm just careful about what I eat and I live a wonderful life.

My desserts have been somewhat curtailed, since I'm on Weight Watchers. However I have found that Jello brand sugar free/fat free puddings made with skim milk are great with fresh fruit. Stir some blueberries into the vanilla, peaches with butterscotch and strawberries with chocolate. So far I've lost 16 pounda and have 20 more to go!

Are you drinking the polish remover? The gluten has to be ingested, not touched, to harm you.

Don't graze in the yard. You have to ingest the gluten for it to hurt you. Walking on it is totally safe.

I've been gluten free for 4 years this week. It does get easier and easier. I still occasionally have the blues about something I can't have (most recently, a beer at my favorite bar). I have found substitutes for almost everything and at the risk of sounding too Pollyiannaish (I think Imade that word up) I eat as well as anyone I know. Plus I FEEL GOOD!!!!

I have been gluten free for 4 years next week. At first it is very hard. All you can see will be the things you can't have. With time you will learn to concentrate on the great things you CAN have.
Let me tell you, I am a foodie! I love to cook and I love to eat good food. The Celiac diagnosis had me railing and crying at first. Then OMG! I realized I felt sooo good. I could quit locating the bathroom in every store I entered. Truthfully, I do still get upset occasionally when everyone else is scarfing down something forbidden to me. That is very normal.

Thanks for the link, BabsV. Big help. The most common ones here are Butterball and Honeysuckle White. Sounds like I'll be safe with either of those.
