I am embarrassed to post this but I misread the 1/2 cup butter to be 1/4 cup. My, are they dry . I'd blame it on my son who was helping me, but I took the butter out hours earlier on my own to soften. Well, duh.

I mixed the batter for the chocolate chip cookies on the Pamela's baking mix and it was SOO dry I had to add some water and some oil to them to even be able to mold them. Did anyone else find this. I haven't eaten any yet, they are baking right now.

Thanks. I think I am going to add gluten back in in small amounts and then after the holidays have the blood test done. I do definitely feel better, I know, because I am kind of dreading going back on the gluten so I think I feel better than I realized. This is SO confusing.

Well I went gluten free because my integrative doctor and the nutritionist both feel that I possibly have a wheat intolerance. My doctor feels I am more of a leaky gut candidate and I have taken a Mallitol challenge test for that but don't have the results yet. Before even knowing any of this, I knew that eating any whole wheat products caused my stomach...

I have been gluten free for about a month now. I forgot to speak to my pastor about an alternative to bread for communion so I was in church and decided that was as good a time as any to 'add it back in' to see what happened - and nothing did. Other things have been bothering me, including cheese/dairy - which I added back in and then took back out last...

That's really interesting because there are some of the chicken and turkey noodles that I couldn't eat before, either, causing D. I can handle the Manhattan clam chowder, though. Thanks.

I have been gluten-free and milk/casin free for a few weeks now. I wasn't feeling well this week and didn't keep up on my grocery shopping. I went into the pantry and found Progresso Split Pea soup and the only allergen it listed was soy, although it said it contained hydrolized corn gluten (which I thought would be safe). Only, immediately after eating...

I am near Philly and I bought two boxes and I think they are yummy (Just had some for lunch). Stock up. I am!

Thanks. We didn't get a call back from the doctor today so the results must not be in. Hopefully tomorrow. Ryan is my son, he is 7, and he did not do well at all with the blood test. He is a kid that doesn't like to be fussed with at all and he wanted no parts of the needle. My husband finally had to hold him down, which we didn't want to do at all....

Ryan had his blood drawn Thurs and the doctor said to call for results today. I spoke to the nurse and she pulled them up in the computer. She said the CBC was normal, but she couldn't see the other tests because sometimes they don't make them available until the doctor releases them. So I have been patiently waiting for the dr to call back (okay impatiently...

Um they were kellogg's rice crispy treats. Obviously I glutened myself without knowing it. I thought I was just lactosing myself. Either way, they were part of my learning curb and are out the window, but thanks for that info. And for Pete's sake, why wheat in rice crispy treats!

I am a week into my gluten free diet too. I have noticed that I feel better when I am sticking with chicken, fish, potatoes, veggies, apples or applesauce - a very bland diet! I actually think I glutened myself over the weekend or some of the gluten-free stuff I baked is not agreeing with me. My nutritionist advised me to do a hunter-gatherer diet for...

ETA: I am meaning the severe glutening incidents I am reading about on the board. I have only been gluten free for 8 days now. I was just wondering if there are some people who when they accidentally get glutened can feel it but it's not a major crisis usually?

We had Ryan blood tested last week and the results should be in tomorrow. I have to say that over the course of his life - he seems healthier now than he has been. His asthma is well under control, his allergy symptoms are there, he is complaining way less about belly aches and leg pains and in general is having a good time of things right now. I haven...
