I blogged about it on my blog this morning and that is exactly what I said....would they joke about someone with diabetes, cancer, or lupus in the same manner?? Doubt it!! I wrote ABC a letter this morning expressing my unhappyness with the episode. If anybody missed it you can watch it on ABC. If you are not happy about it I would say write them a letter. Odds are this character will continue on the gluten free diet in the show and if we don't speak up they will continue to show it in a negative way. If we all speak up maybe they will change the way they portray how the child eats.

Ok, so who all watched the episode of ABC's Man Up last night? They addressed eating gluten free. However they did it HORRIBLY!!!!

Congrats on being featured in the article! I'll have to look for it....nice to see you back here

Thanks Patti, I popped in a month or so ago. I just don't have the time I used to have. I have my own stuff I have been working on Let me know what you think of the article!!

I just wanted to give you all a heads up that there is a article in All You Magazine that just came out today. It covers several different autoimmune disorders including Celiac. I think it's a great article, but I may be a touch biased since I am featured in the article It isn't all about numbers, but it does give a face to our disease and our struggles. I hope you all enjoy reading it!! Go check out the November 2011 issue.

I have that book (yes, it's a good one) but about the only thing I've made from it regularly is the multigrain sandwich bread.

That's a shame. The recipe for vanilla cake in there was made by Annilaise especially for ME. I had posted on this board that I wanted a wedding type cake recipe and she created that recipe for me. It is AMAZING! I have non-gluten-free people raving about it all the time. Try out the cake recipes as well as the bread that you like from there. Coconut cake is to die for as well.

Annalaise Roberts "Gluten Free Baking Classics" AMAZING book.

Apple-Cinnamon Risotto. It is made in the crock-pot and SUPER easy. It re-heats wonderfully.

I take Zyrtec daily and have no problems with it. The last time I called to check on the status they told me that they do not ADD gluten and they do not test for gluten. Basically covering themselves with that statement.

I took it before it was over the counter, and it was gluten free then. When it went OTC, checked and they said the formulation hadn't changed.......I do not believe it contains any gluten with all of the info that I have collected from them and the fact that I don't have any symptoms when taking it.

Jenny-

That was so sweet of your mom!! You are super lucky!!

-Jessica

Oh, yeah. Those made go into the way-back machine. I haven't had anything that wasn't super yummy from them. They offer FREE SHIPPING no matter the size of the order as well.

I don't have any stake in the company either.

Free shipping is a great bonus!! Most places I spent 10-12 bucks on just shipping! I hate that. I was able to spend that extra 10 bucks and get more goodies!! ha!

Matt-

welcome to the board. You will find this place to be a wealth of great information. When I was first diagnosed I found it very helpful to just read old posts from members. It cleared up alot of questions for me. There is a great search feature on the board. If you put in pepsi, it will bring up all the posts for that. Or whatever brand of soda you are curious about (as long as it has been discussed before on the board).

Don't be afraid to ask questions, there are lots of great people here to help!! Hang in there, it does get easier!!

If you used to love ding-dongs and ho-ho's then you will fall in love with Shabati Gourmet( Open Original Shared Link . They make the most amazing "copies" of some of my old favorites from childhood. They have a ring-ting cupcake that reminds me of a hostess cupcake. They make a swiss chocolate roll that resembles the swiss snack cakes of days gone by. Ahhhhhhhh!!! If you are missing these things like I was, then give them a try. I have ZERO stake in the company, just like to pass on a good product when I find it!!

Congrats!! That first year is the hardest to get through. It is amazing how quickly things improve, especially in little ones. Glad things are looking up!! Happy Anniversary!

Perhaps I've been gluten-free for too long, but 290 calories for cake is really pretty reasonable. I can't recall ever seeing a slice of cake in my pre-gluten-free days that was less than that (unless it was clearly a reduced-calorie "diet" food).

I agree, 290 doesn't seem TOO bad, as long as it isn't an EVERYDAY type of snack I wish I had a starbucks closer. Closest one is a 40 min drive!!!! It's probably best though, or I would be eating too much cake!! ha

-Jessica

I was able to get Starbucks Valencia Orange Cake early!!! I went to a starbucks Saturday. I just happened to ask if they would be carrying the new gluten free treat. The girl goes, oh ya we have those, not sure why they aren't in the case. A guy who was working there said, they aren't out yet, but I could just give you one to try. However, you can't tell anyone you got it!! ha

Ok, I am not so great at keeping secrets. This cake is super yummy!! Very moist. Has great flavor. The guy didn't know how much they would be when they came out, but it is well worth whatever it costs.

Good stuff!!

I say get over it and move on. Take her using your decorating style as a compliment. Move on with your life and don't obsess over this lady. I am not sure how you are finding out how the inside of her home looks if you haven't spoken in years?? Anyways, take it as a compliment and move past it. It is unhealthy to keep dwelling on things like that.

Ladies and Gentlemen....just a friendly reminder that we are here for the purpose of talking about Celiac Disease. We are not here to venture onto other topics unrelated to celiac disease. There are pleanty of other boards out there to discuss parasites and such. I believe this thread has gone WAY beyond what this board is about. I kindly suggest we let it quietly go away....... Back to the topics that celiac.com is all about....gluten, celiac, intollerance to gluten

Thanks!!

I found this out a while ago, keep forgetting to post. The Gluten free crusts at Lemmy's are made by olivia's oven (a bakery out of Kansas City, who also provides crust for Waldo pizza and several Hy-Vee's). They also now have desserts and breadsticks!! YUMMY!!

-Jessica

This is absolutely the most exciting news I have heard all day!! Wahooo for Betty Crocker!!! I can't wait to be able to buy a mix at a regular grocery store!!!

I love pei-wei. I have never had a problem eating there. I don't have one close to me. However, when I go to the city that is my place of choice for lunch. I just ate there this weekend. LOVE IT!!

There is a grainmill attachment I believe. I'm not sure if it does rice, you would have to do some research on that...... or maybe someone else knows more about it

-Jessica

Sounds good-- do you have a recipe to share ?

INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

1 3/4 cups white sugar

Add to Shopping List

Add a Personal Note

DIRECTIONS

In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, milk, butter, and cocoa. Bring to a boil, and cook for 1 1/2 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in peanut butter, quinoa, and vanilla. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto wax paper. Let cool until hardened.

*I usually have to use more than what they say to use because the quinoa seem to soak up any liquid available.

Morning All!! Scott let the moderators know that the board will be down for routine maintenance this Friday evening.
