Tell him that gluten free foods are much better than paper products and in all likelihood more nutritious.

Ummmm...I'm not really too sure about that one Andrea. Right now I'm eating some Ener-G white bread. I'm thinking that paper is probably just as good. <_<

Mitch comment: In actuality, they were imported by Meredith when she discovered it was a result of a special mating season between the red bats and the blue bats. :lol: During transport on the high seas the high humidity caused such a stickiness on their bodies. Also, the glittering waters of the pristine ocean near R-ville paradise clung to them, therefore, the bats retained the glitter.

:lol::lol:

Andrea, your hubby has quite the imagination! :D

Anything is better than that ener-g bread! Ick, yuck, gross....and whatever other adjective that matches those sentiments. We threw ours out after trying it because we refused to eat it. Mitch comment: It was even worse than Dominoes cardboard pizza crust (from many years ago).

I don't know how you can tolerate the stuff. :P

Do the glittery purple bats serve to keep the glittery purple mosquito population down? I'm all for that!

I gave up on the OMG thread a long time ago. I am not sure if this job is taken but I think there needs to be a Director of Altoids Quality Control. That magical little candy seems to be an integral part of the gluten free lifestyle.

I just thought I'd let everyone know that I'm pulling a Racheal :D I'm eating a big mug of ice cream. I haven't had any since my birthday....it's been way too long. Although I am using a mug rather than a bowl in order to keep the amount I eat down.

And thanks for explaining the bats to me.

red bats + blue bats = purple glittery bats :lol:

Mosquitos??? Do we have those in Rachelville.... :unsure:

If we do its all Donna's fault....shes the pest control person and I would think mosquitos would be classified as being pests. <_<

Maybe Donna is spending too much time on the ants....trying to think up unique and *humane* ways of relocating them out of R-Ville. :lol:

Hi Morgan! Excellent logic using a mug instead of a bowl. If it were me, I would use one of those HUGE mugs that look like a gigantic soup bowl and then tell myself it wasn't so bad because at least it was a mug.......

Welcome ian and 2boys4me :)

:lol::lol:

Lucky you! I have no ice cream today. :(

I had to part with the ice cream maker for the w/end. I left it at my Mom's. Going through WITHDRAWL.... :wacko:

If you were really pulling a Rachel...you'd have like 8 of those big mugs....there is no such thing as 1 mug, 1 bowl, 1 slice, 1 piece etc.....Rachel doesnt know when to stop. :ph34r:

Help....I am now on my second loaf of Ener-G cardboard bread. Its only been 2 days since I've started eating it....

I couldnt pass it up though...my first loaf came from Whole Foods. I figured I'd definately be w/out the temptation of that carboard (or is it styrofoam?) bread for the rest of the weekend since there is no Whole Foods near my house. But noooooo....I go to my "regular" grocery store and lo and behold they have it....and not only do they have it...but its on sale. I'm all for getting deals on the cardboard stuff so I bought 2 loaves! :D

premature post

The only thing I've found Ener-g bread good for is stuffing for a turkey and sausage/egg casserole. It breaks up really easy, and you're not using the bread for taste, anyway.

I used to eat that much.....well, maybe not, the parentals wouldn't have let me :angry: ....they knew if I ate that much I'd be in bed sick <_< I will eat an entire bag of M&M's. Now I'm not talking the little one bite bags...I'm talking the big medium size bags. I don't think it's possoble to eat over one of those bags :( that would just be way too much. Are you going on withdrawl bc you got sick last time you ate it, or just bc you eat unhealthy amounts?

Morgan! Shhh, you're not supposed to know about Altoids.

PS scooping ice cream into a bowl is not pigging out. Eating a whole container like your mom does, is!!

I'm going through withdrawl cuz I want ice cream and I cant have it....not until tomorrow cuz my ice cream maker is like 80 miles away from me right now. Tomorrow me and my ice cream maker will be reunited and I will feel much more at peace....albeit a little brain-freezed. :D

You didn't have a container dedicated to me <_< .....If I would have sat down that full 1/2 gallon container, someone would have yelled at me. As a result, I was forced to use the scoop that was put through the deglutenator, to scoop me some ice cream into a mug.

Yea, Dad ... I was in bed when you ate it. I'm up again ... just feel like garbage, but not tired.

For those of you not in my living room, Morgan and I are sitting next to each other on our laptops. :lol:

Ok...I also would have been in trouble if I used the types of bowls that Dad used to use. I may as well have just taken the container and eaten out of it

So you make your own ice cream!!!!!!! :D I'm so jealous....it's no wonder you can't help but pig out. Homemade ice cream is the best :D I've only had it once, but I just about died it was so good

I'm with that group. If we don't hear from you for awhile we'll now you're too sick to come online. Of course you'll have to have The Dave come on here and let us know that not only are you to sick to be on the board, but you are also too sick to go to work. :P

PS Notice the order of importance. :lol:

This is a post-mature and a pre-mature post.............so here it is:

Glad to start off with Racheville - went to a wedding at Hilton Head this weekend. Ohhh, love the trees. Saw my first allagator is the wild, black squirrel, and an ARMADILLO (sp) whoa.

Wizzzed through the posts as got in late and needed to check in.

As Senator, I am sitting in my office reading the celiac site and have not a freaking thing to do. So, with that said, I need another job. With no legislation, now rules....well geese and whatever, but that's the mayors issue.

(not a new job tomorrow, I have to do my real job and make them very very angry and tell then that they have to redo their storefronts)....yeah, I'm, the one that everyone like to hate... Yah, know, preservation, type stuff.. they will thank me in about 100 year.!!!! <_<

      Reverse Osmosis (RO) Water

      I've heard RO water is bad, too. Distilled water has all the minerals distilled out of it, so it will pull minerals out of your bones, too. I only use distilled water to fill up my clothes iron so it won't get mineral deposits inside and quit working. I drink mineral or spring water.

      Scott. Thank you for your reply. I'm still having symptoms, but significantly better. I will go back to batch cooking and freezing vegetables. I have had success with Pict Sweet frozen, single item (not mixed) vegetables. My Kroger carries very little Pict Sweet variety. Regards, Yaya

      What would you do - neighbor brought gluten-free pizza from Papa Murphy's

      My neighbor's mom was diagnosed with celiac disease 16 years ago. She is a very kind person and has shared some info about local grocery stores and daily (soon to expire) meat deals. This evening she brought over 2 slices of Papa Murphy's gluten-free pizza. It looks to be topped with chicken and spinach. I asked, "aren't you concerned with cross contamination...

      Reverse Osmosis (RO) Water

      By Known1 · Posted

      I am hesitant to post this as I have seen many people here recommending RO water.  With that said, I want to share my experience and how RO water now impacts me.  Three or four years ago a local store installed a RO water refill station.  I had been buying gallons of distilled and spring water prior to that.  I switched over to using the RO water refill station saving money by brining in my own clean empty gallon jugs.  Every 6-months I would replace the jugs by buying new gallons of distilled water.  This RO water is the only water I would drink while at home.  Two huge glasses every morning before work and two more after work.  I would also use the RO water to make coffee and hot coco. This past December, prior to my celiac diagnosis, my gut was making more noise than anything I had ever experienced.  Seriously, it was crazy, almost like fire works going off in my stomach.  I happened to pick up some distilled water for my 6-month jug rotation.  Literally, as soon as I started drinking the distilled water my stomach settled a great deal.  I could honestly feel the difference after the first glass of water.  I thought that maybe the RO water from the store's refill station was contaminated with some sort of cleaning agent.  I swore to myself I would never drink from that RO refill station again.  Instead I went back to buying distilled along with gallon jugs of spring water.  No issues with either of those as far as an upset stomach is concerned.  Cost, well that's a different story all together. After being diagnosed marsh 3c, I went shopping at Aldi's for the first time in my life.  I noticed they also sell water by the gallon.  Over the course of the last few weeks, I have purchased a total of 6-gallons of their water.  (Thankfully they were out on two of my visits.)  After having my stomach starting to make noises similar to mid-December again, it dawned on me, maybe its the Aldi water?  Initially I had contributed my bubble gut to some sort of gluten exposure or cross contamination.  Even though everything I have put into my stomach is naturally gluten-free or has been labeled gluten-free / certified gluten-free.  I had assumed that the Aldi water was spring water.  Come to find out, that was a bad assumption.  Looking close at the label it says purified by RO or distillation (or something like that). Again, I switched to different water.  Just like last December, the non-RO water instantly calmed my stomach and even felt better going down the hatch.  This was earlier today by the way.  Prior to creating this post, I did a few searches via Uncle Google.  I bumped into a thread on Reddit (where I am not a member) that has multiple people complaining of GI issues related to RO water.  So my initial thoughts on a cleaning agent in the refill station RO water were likely not correct.  Unfortunately, it seems the RO water itself causing me problems.  I am not sure if we are allowed to post links to other sites and hopefully I will not get into trouble for doing so.  I did try printing the Reddit thread to a PDF file.  Unfortunately, the file is 2MB in size, which is well over the 500KB file attachment limit here on this amazing forum.  Again, hopefully this is ok.  🤞  Here is the Reddit thread. This may not be a popular opinion here, but personally, I will not willingly drink another glass of RO water for the remainder of my life.  Who knows, maybe drinking RO water for the past several years is part of what activated my celiac?  No proof, but just a thought.  Come to find out RO water is well known to leech minerals from your body.  With people like us often lacking minerals to begin with, RO water does not seem like a wise choice.  As the Reddit thread mentions, there are RO water filtration systems that will inject minerals back into the water.  However, those systems are likely not being used at the grocery store refill stations nor by the bottling companies producing RO water for sale at your local store. Please do not shoot the messenger as I am just sharing my personal experience and letting others know that most RO water will leech minerals from your body. God bless and stay well, Known1

      What would you do - neighbor brought gluten-free pizza from Papa Murphy's

      By Known1 · Posted

      My neighbor's mom was diagnosed with celiac disease 16 years ago.  She is a very kind person and has shared some info about local grocery stores and daily (soon to expire) meat deals.  This evening she brought over 2 slices of Papa Murphy's gluten-free pizza.  It looks to be topped with chicken and spinach.  I asked, "aren't you concerned with cross contamination"?  She said no and apparently eats it on a somewhat regular basis. I found an old article here along with another thread pertaining to Papa Murphy's gluten-free pizza.  The article is quite old, so I do not think it holds much weight nowadays.  The thread I found was also a bit dated, but certainly more recent and relevant.  The information in the thread I found was a bit inconclusive.  Some said they trust Papa Murphy's gluten-free pizza and others were a big no way.  One person even took time to train their local franchise on how to ensure the pizza remains gluten-free without cross contamination. Anyway, being recently diagnosed as marsh 3c, I am currently working on week 3 or 4 in my new gluten-free journey.  I do not want to be rude and toss the pizza out, but I also do not want to have a reaction.  Since she has celiac and obviously ate much or at least some of the pizza, I am leaning towards eating the two slices for lunch tomorrow.  As this thread's title states, what would you do?  Would you eat it or toss it out?  I suppose I could also just give it back to my neighbor to polish off. I look forward to reading your thoughts. Thanks, Known1

      That must have been really upsetting to discover, especially after relying on a product you believed was safe. Labeling can change at any time due to supplier shifts or shared equipment, so it’s always important to double-check packaging—even on products we’ve trusted for years. A “may contain wheat” statement usually indicates potential cross-contact risk rather than an added ingredient, but for people with celiac disease that risk can still be significant. If you’ve been having symptoms, it may take days to weeks to fully settle, depending on the level and duration of exposure. In the meantime, switching to fresh produce or brands that clearly state gluten-free status is a reasonable step. It may also help to contact the manufacturer directly to ask when the labeling changed and what their current cross-contact controls are.
