    I've eaten at at least 5 different PF Changs and have to say that sometimes I get sick and sometimes I don't... with the same dish (I usually get the shrimp and lobster sauce off the gluten-free menu...), which also tastes a little different every time I get it, which is suspicious in itself. I haven't been able to figure out yet if it is a cross-contamination...

    My family really likes Bette Hagman's cookbooks. plus it is nice she gives you a bunch of different ideas for flour mixes so you can pick the one you like best. also Robin Ryberg (dont think I spelled her name right) makes some good desserts. best wishes, heather

    I've had it for about 10 years, it has gotten better since going gluten-free (and moving south!) and sometimes it was just uncomfortable (when they get purple/red, like you described), other times it is downright painful (tears and everything), but that is mostly when I get really cold and my feet turn white and completely numb and then the pain comes when...

    I had one last night about deliberating over eating this freshly made mint ice cream with non-gluten-free chocolate cookies (really they were pieces of chocolate ice cream sandwich stuff) and finally giving in and eating the whole thing with a really big spoon... I was upset in the dream and wondering when Id get sick but I couldnt stop eating it. weird...

    Sarah, I just moved from Pittsburgh in the past few months and was never able to find a gluten-free bakery there, if that is what you're looking for , although maybe one has appeared recently. Given that, it might be best to try to bake it on your own or assemble it from the various kinds of mail order cakes you can get from places like Mr. Ritts that...

    might be helpful for you to do a little bit of research on rotation diets and food families. it may be that the things you are reacting to are things you eat all the time (and relatives of things you eat all the time) and your body might just need a break from them which you could do by rotating your diet. not sure really about all the science behind it...

    I found looking at gluten-free/cf asd (autism spectrum) websites was really helpful. There are a bunch of things out there that are gluten-free cf... I added a lot of nuts to add protein, and rice milk (pacific) instead of regular milk. I dont do oats, so bobs red mill hot cereals (rice, corn grits, and a mixed variety) were a nice morning treat, great...

    find a really great way to advertise... I ran into 2 other celiacs at a healthfood store the other day and neither one of them knew about a gluten-free bakery in the city they happened to be shopping in! also, this same place seemed like it used to be all celiacs and the labelled everything really well. now they have new employees that aren't and dont...

    ARCHIVED "celiac Isn't Hereditary"

    hsd1203 replied to Emme999's topic in Doctors

    At the risk of being attacked mercilessly as an evil medical student, I can offer that hopefully this ignorant doctor business will be getting better... more schools are starting to teach about this, and I know that a gluten intolerant classmate and I have done a lot to teach our medical school classmates all about celiac... while I dont really think its...

    fun and educational... but would be more realistic if half of the stuff in the pantry listed my least favorite "ingredient"... natural flavors. makes me sooo very frustrated every time I see it. and sometimes when you call they cant/wont even tell you what it is! although I think it is hilarious that there is a line of organic juice at a major healthfood...

    Michelle, that type of depression is what I get when I have been glutened, and I hate it because it comes out of nowhere and makes me think my life is terrible. I don't understand it but that's what happens. Its what keeps me most honest on this diet because really I can handle some stomach pain but won't risk the depression. Just thought I'd let you...

    not to say that I don't have my pity me days, but this thread made me think of some things I thought I might share... kimberly, get yourself a bette hagman comfort foods cookbook and try the vinegar pastry crust... I tried it right after I went gluten-free and it really tastes like real pie crust... I even made cherry pie with it last weekend for some...

    I usually dont, but then I did make my dh gluten-full crepes for his birthday this morning, so really you just have to decide for yourself on this one.
  14. hsd1203
    fyi - calcium right before bed gives me nightmares. weird, huh?
  15. hsd1203
    just FYI... the only time I get stomach pains that bad (WAY worse than getting glutened) and literally want to die, is when I eat something with aspartame. even suger free gum is enough to give me a little tummy ache. sounds weird, I know, but it happens to my mom and aunt too. maybe on your road trip you were eating different than usual? just a thought

    For me, the first week was wonderful, and then the next 6 months were kind of up and down, in part regardless of what I was eating (I even moved home and had my gluten-free mom cooking for me). I also had to cut out dairy and soy completely for 6 months, and limit fats and acidy foods as they all bothered me. It gets better but be patient and read...

    this really is a tricky thing... with my in laws, my mother in law has a list of exact brands and makes special shopping trips just for me (while on the phone with me before dh and I come visit. she really has adjusted well. dinner out is tricky but after a couple of times of me getting sick on what should have been safe food at "regular" restraunts...
  18. hsd1203
    I think that it is interesting to consider, whether we agree with it or not, that there are LOTS of people out there everyday, gluten-free or not, who actively decide "I dont have time to take care of myself" how else can you explain the sheer number of people with type II diabetes and lung cancer and heart disease and all those other conditions that ...
  19. hsd1203
    just be careful b/c while a fair number of the of the name brands are gluten-free, sometimes their generic "equivalents" are not.
  20. hsd1203
    everyone has really great ideas... this past year, I had a super busy school schedule and found that even with the extra time it took to cook for myself gluten-free, I was actually getting more done, with more energy, more able to concentrate, less grumpy, and improved sleep... so in the end I figured out I didnt have the time NOT to eat gluten-free. best...

    I think everyone struggles with this in their own way, given different environments, support, resources, and symptoms. Therefore I think it is pretty hard to judge someone else and their frustrations (and failures) without having literally walked in their shoes. That said, I have a few positive suggestions... try being really really good on your...

    I have to say i was pretty stinkin' excited about this as well... even though there were only a few gluten-free SF CF options (but they were tasty!) Yay WholeFoods!
  23. hsd1203
    careful with tazo teas at starbucks, though, most of their flavors are NOT ok (per their company - if you have a question about a specific flavor they'll let you know)
  24. hsd1203
    I like annie's... her french and honey mustard vinagrette are awesome.
  25. hsd1203
    my soy reaction is a combination of my gluten (stabbing tummy pains) and casein (ridiculous headache) reactions. I only figured this out after suddenly adding a bunch of soy filled gluten-free food into my diet... ie soy at every meal for a few days and ending up feeling terrible, and then taking it out again and feeling better. Before this "soy binge...
