Mrs. Leeper's Hamburger Helper-Style Dinner

In a word, ick. In another word, salt.

We brought a box of this back with us from vacation, and I was excited! Now, having finished eating some (a few forkfuls) I feel completely dehydrated and a bit sick.

Lesson learned:just because it says "gluten-free" and I'm excited about, doesn't mean it's going to be a good experience.

Blech.

I will second that, I did not find those mixes enjoyable. Better off with a Lundberg Farms risotto mix in the box and a meat entree.

Hmm, good to know. I have the hamburger helper type mix in my cupboard. Saving it for a rainy day lol or maybe not!

My daughter likes their tuna stuff. I don't personally like boxed stuff like that very much. What I used to do once in a while though was take a box of mac and cheese and add cooked ground beef to it.

And now I am doing more things with rice. Rice casserole tomorrow. Adding peas, ground beef, onions and a box of gluten-free beef gravy but mushroom gravy works well too. Because it is hot I will heat it through in the microwave.

I don't personally think they're bad, they just aren't that great. On a night if I didn't really feel like cooking and wanted something relatively easy I wouldn't be opposed to throwing one of these in a pot and having it. Don't feel too bad about having picked up a bunch on clearance until you've tried them. (As a disclaimer I have a very serious salt problem, I will sit and eat the salt out of the bottom of a bag of pretzels.) There are always food banks to donate to if you hate them.

In a totally other direction, there was this show I used to watch with my kids like 15 years ago with a lemur. It was two brothers and the lemur and he jumped around and they said leaping lemur all the time. Whenever I see this in the store I always think Mrs. Leeper's lemurs. Cracks me up.

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
