    Did well yesterday sticking to my food plan, 1 day down and the rest of my life to go...OMG, I better not say that it is too overwhelming to think about...tomorrow I go grocery shopping and Robert and I have vowed no ice cream or goodies...for some reason he doesn't miss that stuff, just me...but he will eat it if I buy it. Pre Celiac I went to Jenny...

    I've been following your posts and the stories all sound so familiar to me that I would like to join in...I was dx last October with Celiac and went into total shock and depression. I thought how am I ever going to give up eating everything that I love and have eaten all my life??? I had a major pity party for months...managed to go gluten free, but made...

    We have always requested anytime dining because we just hate to have to be somewhere at a certain time each day when we are on vacation. I had no idea how they could provide a gluten free diet for me...thanks for the info...I will hope that letter is in my mailbox. I am not a real fan of the buffet except for breakfast...and I will be able to eat yougurt...

    There are 4 of us going to the movies...not sure what we will wind up seeing..there are so many good new ones coming out on Christmas...I would love to see either the Will Smith movie or Dreamgirls..but my neice wants to see Blood Diamond or something else, I can't remember which one it is...but they all sound good. Maybe I will give up on the popcorn and...

    Dlp252, I am so happy to hear that your cruise went well...we leave in about 6 weeks for 7 days on the Grand Princess...this will be our first cruise since my dx...it is reassuring to hear that they were on top of things...I have already faxed Princess with a gluten free menu request and your post just takes some of my pre cruise food stress away...I am already...

    We are going to the movies Christmas Day, first time since I was dx and I would love to be able to sit and munch popcorn along with everyone else....does anyone know if movie popcorn is safe...how about buttered? Sissy

    Brenda honey, thank you so much, I agree there is just no substitute for that flavor and will look for Athena Blue Cheese the next time I go to the market. Sissy

    For Thanksgiving I made a killer pumpkin cheesecake. For the crust I used Pamelas gingersnaps, a little granulated sugar and butter...just put them all in the food processor and in a minute they were perfect for the crust. You could use any kind of gluten free cookies and any gluten free cheesecake recipe you want. I really don't have a recipe for the...

    I had read that blue cheese contained wheat in the starter and is listed as an ingredient on the label of every blue cheese I have seen, so I thought I would make up the salad plates in advance to serving them...I will sprinkle blue cheese on everyone elses salad and will probably use a little goat cheese on mine. I will surely miss the flavor of the blue...

    We leave February 10th for the first cruise since I have been diagnosed. Princess offers a gluten free menu and I faxed them with my request. I have a friend whos sister has Celiac and she has cruised on Princess many times before...she said that they almost have to drag her off the ship at the end of the cruise..she is so spoiled by gluten-free pancakes...

    That menu sounds outrageous...boy, do I love German potato salad! Was planning to make regular potato salad for New Years day, but the thought of German potato salad with our baked ham is very inviting. When I was in Sam's Club last week to buy my ham I was thrilled that right on the sign for the pre-sliced hams it said "Gluten Free" Yeah! I forgot...

    Hi, I really loved the Thanksgiving thread and got so much help from all the tips and recipes that I thought it would be fun to share menus and recipes for Christmas too. Dinner is at my house and we are having our main dinner on Christmas Eve. I am making a huge prime rib roast with roasted fingerling potatos, carrots and baby onions, I have converted...

    I hope that you had no reaction from the oats...I know that I kept waiting and waiting to see if something happened, finally forgot about it and realized later that they were fine. About meatloaf, I found a can of corn tortilla crumbs in my regular grocery store and they worked great for making meatloaf...I always use ground turkey, grated carrots, chopped...

    I found certified gluten free rolled oats at Wild Oats last week...I was so happy because I really missed oatmeal for breakfast and have never found a cold cereal that I like well enough to eat twice. The label says that the oats are raised, harvested and transported in dedicated ground and equipment and processed in a wheat free facility. I ate it for...

    I bet your MIL is a very controlling woman and is also self righteous because she feels she is a "good Catholic". I would try to put as much emotional space as possible between her and myself if I were you. If you do this then when she pulls these mean spirited antics they will not provoke that MIL choking instinct so much. I think you did the right thing...

    Thanks for the great links, I will add them to my Australia '08 file...yoo hoo, can't wait. The Syd harbor speedboat sounds wonderful...we are also planning the harbour bridge climb. Sissy

    Please, please post the name and location of the restaurant, we will be in Sydney for 5 days before boarding a cruise that will visit Melbourne and Hobart Tasmania then on to NZ and across the Pacific to Los Angeles in April 2008...I am already researching where it might be safe to eat. Any other Aussies that have suggestions please give a shout too. Sissy

    Elizabeth, how sweet of you...maybe we could meet in Tulsa some day, that would be about half way for both of us, 90 minutes for me, maybe a little longer for you. There is a Wild Oats and Akins Natural Food store there and also Outback Steakhouse and PF Changs. PF Changs was one of my favorite restuarants pre Celiacs and I understand they are very savvy...

    We don't usually look this red faced, flushed and sweaty...this picture was taken this spring when we were in Brazil, we were on the Amazon in a little boat going thru the floating forest, it was sooo hot I was melting and I never felt humidity like that before in my life. The reason I used this one is because it is the only picture that I had that was a...

    Elizabeth, I live near Tahlequah, in Cookson on Lake Tenkiller, do you know where that is? I am about 90 miles SE of Tulsa. I would love company and some guidence gluten-free shopping but we are a long way from one another. Where do you do your most productive gluten-free shopping? I heard that Jeff Reasor's wife has Celiac and that because of that the...

    I got my avatar posted, but how do I write text under it? Help! Sissy

    You are all so encouraging and upbeat, must be something that happens further into healing because right now I don't feel it, but can't wait until I do. I am 64 and have been married for 46 years...my kids and extended family have always flocked to our house because of the comfort factor and have over many years come to expect our traditional family recipes...

    Wow, thanks Carla and Happygirl those were quick replies...I guess I am going to have to drive to Tulsa about 90 miles away so I can find some products to help me with this dinner...I live in a rural area and we don't have very many gluten-free products available. I bought the only gluten-free bread available and I have to say it was the worst thing I have...
