    Maltodextrin, even though it says "Malt" does not, in fact, contain malt, and should be gluten free. although I am writing from the states, and don't know what it's like internationally Being glutened by family is a bummer though I know....my MIL tries, but with three unruly children, CC happens! Good luck!

    The biopsy could be wrong. It isn't 100%....especially if you've been eating gluten-free, your insides may have had time to heal, and therefore the damage wouldn't show up on the tests! But I say as long as you're feeling better on the gluten-free diet, don't stop! You're listening to your body, and its telling you that something about eating gluten makes...

    ARCHIVED Counseling?

    Sweetfudge replied to a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Yes, I am in my second year of college, and was diagnosed at the same time, and found myself very overwhelmed. I hadn't seen anyone in almost a year, but I found a counselor through the school, and I am feeling a lot better. I think it helps to have someone to talk to. I have also found that talking to people here, who understand what you're going through...

    Welcome Valerie! You came to the right place! I've spent countless hours here searching for answers and getting advice, and lots of support! As far as the pizza crusts go, I LOVE Gluten Free Pantry's french bread and pizza mix. It tastes very much like regular pizza crust. Also, give Chebe a try. It's made with tapioca flour, so it's a little squeaky on...

    i am also fretting about my first gluten-free thanksgiving dinner... mostly i am worried about where to go, and how to not offend anyone. my in laws will probably invite us over, but whenever i've dined at their place, i've gotten sick, even when we've eaten a *gluten free* meal. i know it's CC issues, but i don't know how to approach this. i also have...

    i bet you could make the cheese cake with a cookie crumb crust! just take some gluten-free cookies, and make 'em crumbly (in a blender)....that would be like a graham cracker crust, only better! i know Pamela's shortbread cookies are good when crumbled on ice cream...those would probably work!

    I know this lifestyle can be overwhelming, but it is possible! On the days when you can't force yourself to cook, that's when you turn to the freezer! At least that's what I do. I have chronic depression as well, and I know what it's like, and how frustrating it can be when dinner time rolls around. But I really love cooking, so when I am in a baking mood...

    glutensolutions.com looks like a pretty good place to shop. i like how they have their products rated, so you know what others liked. i wanted to hear some feedback about the store before making a purchase. thx!!

    i love naked juices....drink them often, and never had a problem with any they are rather spendy, but for quality, i can justify it!! i also like to make my own fruit juice smoothies...guaranteed gluten safe!! good luck!

    i think this post is a good one, and just thought i'd refresh it for all who are interested

    haven't tried the bread yet, but a few weeks ago, a bunch of our friends got together for "Crepes Night"....in the past, I've just kinda sat back and munched on fruit, but this time, i was surprised when my cousin, who was hosting, presented me with a bag of Pamela's pancake mix. she proceeded to make mine in a pan seperate from everyone elses and they were...

    YAY finally!!!!

    i also am a fan of the spinach and feta pizza. i put some tomatoes and some canadian bacon on top of mine before baking. only one note, be careful w/ the crust, it burns easily. i watch mine the last few minutes so it doesn't. they have the pizzas at my health food store, which is so nice i looked on amazon .com...they have about 25 glutino products (do...

    I don't think mine are related...I was diagnosed w/ hypoglycemia 15 years ago, and only developed celiac about 2 years ago. I found it difficult to maintain my blood sugar levels without my wheat bread staples But like tarnalberry said, the key is to balance your proteins, carbs and fats. I eat a lot of rice and potatoes, some gluten-free pasta, but not...

    Okay here it is! I know I've raved about this recipe before and I've finally taken the time to type it up for all of y'all!! Recipe taken from "The Gluten-Free Bible" by Jax Peters Lowell (pg. 141) This cheesecake isn't as sweet and heavy as typical varieties. It can be baked in 4 individual 4-inch springform pans or in one 8-inch springform pan....

    Just FYI - if something says to cook on high for 4 hours, it can also be cooked on low for 8 hours...just double the time . And nothing I've ever made has gotten overcooked by leaving it in on low for longer than planned. I love making roast beef - i'll make it w/ some potatoes, onions, carrots, and mushrooms. I'll serve it w/ rice, or just as is. i also...

    I have discussed this with my husband, and he has made more of an effort to brush his teeth or chew a piece of gum before approaching me for a kiss
  18. Sweetfudge
    so cute!
  19. Sweetfudge
    try the good ol' world wide web....amazon .com usually has some good deals good luck! also, don't forget about regular grocery store items (rice, meat, veggies, etc...) that are naturally gluten-free!!!
  20. Sweetfudge
    My staples, even now, are: Mexican food - tacos, burritos, enchiladas, quesadillas, nachos, taco salad Potatoes (love them every way!) - baked, fried, twice baked, with sour cream, with cheese, with bacon, with Hormel chili Spaghetti (tink pasta) Pizza w/ hormel canadian bacon, a string cheese, fresh basil and spaghetti sauce Soup-right now I am...
  21. Sweetfudge
    yes, warm them up in the mic...also, if that doesn't work, cover them with a damp paper towel when you nuke them, that softens them as well. and tortillas usually get more crumbly as they get older...

    Hey all - I'm kind of having a brain fog day...I think it's due to hypoglycemia though, and not CC...I hope. Difficult to tell as it is also that time of the month and I get ill for a few days. Anyway, couldn't bear to sort through the archives, so I just thought I'd refresh the question. Thanks

    Planning vacations around the food that sounds funny! That's how my mom remembers places... "oh that's the one with the amazing raspberry butter..." not a bad idea though Thanks for all your sharing guys My top 3 places to go back to just so happen to be Disneyworld, Jamaica and a Cruise. Haven't done any travelling since dx, but I'm happy to hear...

    Aaron, you've got tons of support here for you Remember that YOU are the only one who can make you change! After ditto-ing everything already said, I would suggest you try to start out eating naturally gluten-free foods. My husband and I love mexican food! We eat tons of tacos, nachos, enchiladas, salads, quesadillas...all pretty much made from the same...
  25. Sweetfudge
    i would suggest searching recipe sites like epicurious.com and allrecipes.com maybe even taking a regular gluten-free cake recipe and adding the stuff like you suggested i know i made a really good lemon poppyseed bread awhile back, but i can't find the recipe good luck and let us know how it turns out!
