PatBrown replied to Malficient's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

ARCHIVED Mexican Recipes Already gluten-free
PatBrown replied to urbancowboy717's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I love mexican food and that is one place that I can eat out. I never eat the chips with the salsa. I actuall pack my own and keep them in my purse so that I can have chips and salsa. One of the places that I eat at uses flour in the gravy so I have to skip that(its more of a fast food type of place). The second place isbetter(called La Tolteca). I ask them... -
ARCHIVED Need Egg Free, Dairy Free And Gluten Free Ideas
PatBrown replied to confusedks's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Try the magazine Living Without. I get annoyed with the magazine because the recipes usually have lots of ingredients elimnated and I only need to elinate gluten. I have a Jules Shepard Cookbook and most of her recipes include alternative for the things many people are allergic to.They have the magazine at our Whole Foods Market here. -
ARCHIVED Gluten Problem, Not Celiac Disease?
PatBrown replied to jjis's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I have had Celiacs without major symptoms for years. When I had my first child I got a rash on my elbows. It didnt go away so the dermatoligist did a biopsy. He said my body was making an allergic reation to something in itself. That was 27 years ago. I started having bowel symptoms about four years ago. Two and a half years ago I was finally diagnosed by... -

PatBrown replied to radgirl's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I called about the Rice Crunchims and they are gluten free but made in a facility that puts wheat in other products. I eat Natures Path Organic Honeyed Corn Flakes. I really like them. SOmetimes I add raisens or dried apricots to them. -

ARCHIVED Puff Pastry Or Voul-au-vent?
PatBrown replied to Lisa16's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I am excited about trying to use the rice wrappers to make spinakopita. Have been having cravings for it. I alo have a question. Do orientals have celiacs? The girl that cuts my hair is about a size minus zero. She is anemic and has had a couple of miscarraiges. I wonder if she could be celiac? -

ARCHIVED I Want A Sandwich
PatBrown replied to my3kids's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
This sorghum flour bread recipe is the best bread that I have had since being diagnosed with celiacs. I am not a big bread eater, but I get cravings for french toast and grilled cheese. The first time I made this DH was hunting. I cut the end off, slathered it with butter(bad, I know). Then I had grilled cheese for lunch and the french toast for dinner. The... -
ARCHIVED Individual Servings
PatBrown posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I am looking for individual sized servings of tamari sauce and some gluten free salad dressings. Any ideas where I can get them. I've tried search engines but I must be wording the search incorrectly. TIA. -
Puglover, I do the same thing with the chips. I carry a larger handbag and bring them so I can have the salso.I dont think that I notice slight contamination. I try to avoid it but you really can drive yourself nuts worrying about it. I am really strict at home and dont eat out much. I hate fast food places. I would like to find some individually packaged...

ARCHIVED Other People Touching Your Food.
PatBrown replied to Juliebove's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I used to share parts of meals all of the time but we dont anymore. I dont get a horrible immediate reaction but DH totally understands. He always uses the right side of the toaster oven. I hardly ever have toast(hate to bake and cant find a good bread to buy). He never double dips in the butter. I had to mention this a few times for him to catch on(you can... -
ARCHIVED Should You Thank The Catholic Church?
PatBrown replied to Alexolua's topic in Publications & Publicity
I know that this is not a religion duscussion but I left the Catholic Church because they are so not user friendly and unbending. The host is a blessed symbol of the body of Christ and I dont know why they just couldnt bless whatever the substitute would have been for this girl and allowd her to recieve communion. -

ARCHIVED Newly Diagnosed - So Many Questions...
PatBrown replied to KateFassett's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I did read somewhere to keep a baby off of gluten for at leat seven months to help them to perhaps not have the celiacs. The gene may be there but not active. You will have to ask the doctor(one who diagnosed you) about this. Long term effect of eating gluten if you are not celiac can be harmful. You can get intestinal cancer,and your liver can fail. I had... -

PatBrown replied to daniela's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
It was actually a gastroentoligist that diagnosed me(at Bethesda Naval Medical Center). I have always been iron poor and had reflux and requested and endoscopy to check my esophagus. After eliminating wheat and gluten from my diet I no longer have the reflux. I have yet to find a good dietician although I think between this board and a couple of others I... -

If you continue to eat gluten you can have other autoimmune... -
