    ....show up at a buffet with your own food.

    Tell your mil that God will forgive her for all her sins and remind her to do unto others as she would have them do unto her........I really get irritated with " religious holier than thou " people. My MIL is sooo different- she fixes like two or three meals so that she knows that I will be able to eat something. I feel really bad that she goes to...

    I have always been heavy, then suddenly lost 60 pounds for no apparent reason- Celiac Disease. Since going gluten free I've managed to gain everything back even though I've tried to keep it off. I'm thinking my body is just trying not to starve to death.......or I"m an incredibly good cook.

    I have had Amy's rice crust pizza but I add toppings to it. There is a frozen Gillians pizza dough which is great to have around for a kind of quick meal. My back hurts a lot and I am tired quite often , I guess it takes a while to get our bodies back to "normal" what ever that is.

    After practicing a while I think we eat pretty normal meals, I really don't like gluten-free spagetti, but lasagna noodles are very good. I don't cook anything that I can't eat, but the family likes everything that I make. I still would like to make a good onion ring......I'll keep working on it. But your family really has to at least attempt to be helpful...

    ARCHIVED Eat Turkey

    dragonmom replied to koch's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    I don't think that people should be scared of eating different places-but I also think that we need to be prepared. My husband and I were invited to one of his coworkers house for dinner. My husband said that she understood that I couldn't eat gluten. There was crackers and cheese, chicken terriyaki in wheat soy, with rice pilaf, some bread and cake for...

    Another good "cracker " is shredded parmesian cheese on a silpat in little fairly thin mounds - bake them at 400 for about 10 min or until they look browned on the edges. Take them out cool and they taste great.

    In the freezer section there is a bread called Ryeless Rye- has caraway seeds in it and toasted it tastes really good.

    What a shock= I thought that my sweating was due to my advanced age and being a female........good to know that I can also attribute it to Celiac..

    Dip cut up chicken breast in seasoned all purpose gluten-free flour then in egg, back into the flour then fry. :)My daughter's recipe

    ARCHIVED Eat Turkey

    dragonmom replied to koch's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    I really enjoy left overs after Thanksgiving- we always go to relatives houses I feel much better just bringing what I know I can eat. I make stuffing and gravy, bring creamed onions made with corn starch instead of flour. If I'm totally prepared we all enjoy the day much more than when every one is worried about what I'm eating. My daughter makes a great...

    I have been gluten-free ( or so I've thought) for about two years. my last test came back at 116- no a great number. Then I start thinking back- those Lindt chocolates with the barleymalt, different mustards that I thought were ok only to find out they weren't. So , it is back to the beginning again. Someone mentioned sores in their mouth. I seem to...

    ARCHIVED Advil Pm

    dragonmom replied to rutland's topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    I found that tylenol pm keeps me awake- kind of hyper actually.....strange for me I'm never hyper.

    I was diagnosed with osteoperosis about the same time as Celiac , I take Fosomax. I am now one and onehalf inches shorter than I used to be. At night I move around a lot because if one side doesn't hurt the other does. It just keeps getting better and better......

    We rarely eat out, I make gluten-free meals- they go out for Italian when I'm working late. Could working in a grocery store that has a bakery make any difference? I do eat a lot of cheese. I have gained so much weight that I pretty much avoid gluten-free cookies,bread etc. I have also been reading about the chocolate cross contamination- I do like chocolate...

    Since March 2004 when I was diagnosed with Celiac I have been, to the best of my knowledge, gluten free. My blood tests keep coming back high in spru levels. I am feeling - I don,t know weird. I lost 60 pounds really fast before I knew what was happening-now I have gained it all back. That would lead me to believe that my body was functioning(for my weird...

    Thank you - I do miss it quite a bit. It will be on my grocery list tomorrow.

    The people on both cruises I have been on were very helpful-, if it assigned seating it is especially nice because the waiters know you after the first day. I avoided buffets, for obvious reasons, and did have a lot of steak and potatoes. Sometimes that seems to be my life in a restaurant- but if there was anything they could do for you they would. Let...

    I really miss my blue cheese on a salad or with an apple for a snack. I think gorgonzola and blue cheese are off limits.

    Tonight we had roasted vegetables and fried chicken.....Cut up your favorite root vegetables-carrots, parsnips(very tasty) onions sweet potatoes and potatoes, cut into bite size pieces lightly coat with olive oil salt and pepper. Roast in oven until tender. Fried Chicken.....In the breading section of the grocery store there are gluten free corn flake crumbs...

    I have been overweight my entire life...losing 60 pounds in less than 4 months without trying is what brought me to gluten-free living. Since diagnosis I have gained all that back and have tried and tried to at first to just keep it off now- lose it all again. Nothing seems to work.

    We recently went on a cruise on Royal Carribian and they were excellent in providing gluten-free foods for me-they recognized me at every meal and brought gluten-free bread and made sure I knew what I could and could not have. They had a great flourless chocolate cake that I requested every night. We also went on a cruise out of Boston to Bermuda on Norweigen...
