Grocery list.....something I started a long time ago (because I blamed the brain fog on just being too busy and couldn't remember anything for more than 2 minutes) .....is a perpetual list that stays on the counter by the fridge. Anytime I am any where near the end of anything it goes on the list. If I'm looking at recipes, what I need goes on the list. If I shop and don't pick up something on the list, it gets written on the new list.

I keep all of my gluten-free baking supplies in clear plastic tubs, and put the label on the edge where I can see what it is without taking everything out of the cupboard. Any "mixes" that I make before hand have their own tub marked with marker. Organization helps me out a lot. I started a recipe box for gluten-free stuff that I try (seperate from the "real food recipe box". I don't add any recipes to the box until I have made it and dubbed it worthy of a place there. That way the box doesn't get filled with recipes that I'll never use again.

Hope some of this helps. I'm too scatter brained without these helpful tools. Hoping the fog will lift sometime soon. I USED to be a genius! :lol:

I do the list too. It's really helpful. The only problem is that I need to make a list to remind me to take my list when I go to the store. :huh: If I go without a list and only need one thing, I come out with every thing but what I went in for. It's like AADD. Once I walk through those doors, there is so much to look at and see that I can't focus on the reason that I'm there. I usually remember what I originally wanted two blocks from home. :(

If you are interested and want to p.m. me, I would be happy to get the recipe to you.

Not MNBeth but I'd love the recipe.

Interesting. I thought the gluten-free stuff was real food! Everything else is poison, no matter how tasty it might be.

And yes, gluten-free bread is better homemade. I'm still experimenting, but since my fav was always biscuits, not sandwiches (except for the PB&J), it seems a bit easier.

For those interested in the site about marshmallow peeps, here it is: Open Original Shared Link. Just make sure you're not eating when you go there. I don't relish the idea of making someone choke from laughter.

I haven't laughed so hard in a long time. Thanks for posting the link

I'm sorry Wonka, I'm not sure who your question was intended for. I offered to provide a recipe for someone earlier in this thread but I'm not sure if someone else made the same offer??? If I am the person you were requesting the recipe from, I would be happy to help you. If not, I'm not sure that it's clear who you are talking to. :) Also, if it is me, I have talked about recipes for a Farmhouse White Loaf bread and a recipe for homemade ravioli. Which were you interested in?

Hey all,

So the bread drama. I am also a bread adict and this diet is killing me. I can't find one I like either. The closest I have come is Pamela's Bread mix. I tried Kinnkinnick and HATE it. I feel like a freek saying taht because everyone else loves it. The texture, fact that it doesn't turn color when you toast it, ahh just everythign was all wrong for me. The other thing I am struggling with is pizza dough. I have tried gluten free pantry and Pamela's. I hated both. Both have either no texture or are a pain to make. Grr the frustration, I dont think I will ever feel happy again, like I did when I ate regular bread!

Have you tried the Chebe pizza crust mix?? That's my favorite so far, although I haven't tried a ton of different kinds.

It was your recipe for Farmhouse White Loaf Bread that I was interested in but I'd happily accept a ravioli recipe as well. I love to cook and love to receive already tried and loved recipes. I do find this forum a bit harder to follow regarding who posts are directed at than the food forum I also hand out in (fine cooking). Each post is numbered and the responses tell you which post # the response is for. Very user friendly.

I agree with you Wonka. Because people use 'interesting' names for their posts, I usually have to check the spelling at least once before I reply.

I will be happy to send you the recipes. As I explained to someone else, the bread recipe is from a cookbook that I had checked out from the library and I had to return it. And because I have ordered it for myself, did not think to make a photo-copy of the recipe. The book should be here by Monday so I will be happy to send both recipes to you then.

Thankyou very much. I hope you enjoy your new purchase (I love new cookbooks).

      Going for upper endoscopy today

      My daughter also has it, and it's much better to discover it early. What was the positive level for her test? If she has over 10x that level, and you have celiac disease, I'm not sure if a biopsy is necessary to diagnose her. In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase...

      Symptoms

      I forgot to mention that I also had to avoid eggs for a few years after initially going gluten-free, but could eat duck eggs without issues. Fresh duck eggs can often be found in Asian markets (be sure they are fresh eggs, because they sell various kinds of duck eggs that look the same like salted eggs, eggs with embryos inside, etc.), farmer's markets, and...

      Going for upper endoscopy today

      UPDATE: here I am a couple months past my full diagnosis and going gluten free. I’ve been feeling a lot better. More energy, joint pain has gone down a lot. Haven’t really had the headaches and migraines I’ve had for years. My daughter(age 17) has had some symptoms which we thought were something else, but with my diagnosis I said, have ...

If she has over 10x that level, and you have celiac disease, I'm not sure if a biopsy is necessary to diagnose her. In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children!

      I have increased my vitamin intake Vitamin B Complex plus 2 Thiamax, NeuroMag, Benfotiamine with breakfast. I continue reading and watching gluten free items that I eat. Breakfast is Bobs Redmill gluten-free oatmeal with Chobani zero sugar yogurt a banana and blueberries. Lunch since im at a deli gluten-free is hard to come by so I stick with turkey with gluten-free Promise bread. Dinner varies like gluten-free pasta, tacos, chicken, sausage, meat etc. rice or take out from gluten-free places. I have decided to stay away from gluten-free pizza as I feel I felt weird with it unless its store bought frozen. I am going to try to make my own gluten-free bread, Bagels. I have been good with baking gluten-free treats like cookies, muffins. Snacks if its not fruit, veggies I grab a protein bar or chocolate guilty pleasure reeses, hersheys, York PP. I am going to start to use my fitness pal app to track what I eat and note when I feel off to see if I can pinpoint if a trend of a certain gluten-free food is a culprit. I noticed once in a while I feel a little bloated, gassy that I think is from the pizza so I am going to avoid it and continue narrowing it down. I have been doing very well and I have learned even if you think you are doing everything 100% gluten-free eating it can sneak in without you knowing. This year is more traveling which im afraid of but have already looked into gluten-free places in Nashville which they have and back to Aruba I went last year and have the gluten-free places already selected. Most restaurants I have been to have been very helpful with what to stay away from to avoid CC. If a place states they don't have any gluten-free the I stick with a salad or when I took my kids to breakfast as much as I miss the breakfast this place serves I played it safe with yogurt and a fruit bowl so at least my kids were happy to go there again. Local farmers market has great gluten-free items that I treat myself to like different types of breads, baked goods. My journey continues...
