ARCHIVED Nearly Kfc Chicken (gluten Free Coating Mix)
wowzer replied to pcv's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Thanks for the great idea. I used Fearns brown rice baking mix and brown rice flour. I added the spices I used to use to make fried chicken. I dipped mine in buttermilk and then coated them. I baked them in olive and oil and butter. It is the best I've had since going gluten free. -
ARCHIVED I Baked A gluten-free Black Forest Cake
wowzer replied to Ursa Major's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Dear Ursa, That cake looks awesome. I haven't ventured into cake baking since I went gluten free. I have had great luck with muffins using Fearns brown rice baking mix. I've did have great success converting my alltime favortie molasses cookies into gluten free. I still want to master shortbread if anyone has managed that one. I'm sure that everyone... -
ARCHIVED Confused About Diagnoses And Doctors
wowzer replied to LoriC's topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis
I wasn't diagnosed officially. I'm sure I do have DH. When I searched ithcy rashes, it was the one thing that made sense. I had many rashes through my life. I went gluten free the beginning of this year which is enough diagnosis for me. -

ARCHIVED Allergic To Sulfites, Nitrates, Etc?
wowzer replied to BettyL.'s topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
It is a good point you brought up. I read quite a bit about sulfites thinking that was my problem. I am allergic to sulfa drugs. I have always had a strange reaction to wine. I remember reading about sulfites. It is naturally in many foods, so it can be really hard to avoid. -
ARCHIVED Negative Blood Work?
wowzer replied to holichka's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I had negative blood work, but tried the gluten free diet. I had some DH symptoms and neuropathy that went away when I went gluten free. I had been itching for almost a whole year. If the diet is working stick with it. -
ARCHIVED Is It Easy To Get Someone That Actually Understands Us?
wowzer replied to shimo's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I'm not sure my husband will ever understand. He does try, but I'm still working on the CC with him. We just celebrated our 33rd wedding anniversary on the 14th. He went on the computer looking for gluten free menus at restaurants. We ate at Carraba's. The waiter assured me that everything I ordered would be marked gluten free. I have only been gluten... -
I just went there for my 33rd anniversary. The waiter assured me that everything that ordered would be marked gluten free. They even brought my salad wearing plastic gloves. It's the best service I've had from a restaurant since going gluten free.

If you want a good donut Celiac Specialties in Michigan make awesome ones. You can't even tell that they are gluten free. They also have a website and ship.

ARCHIVED Self Stick Envelopes
wowzer posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I work at a drive in at a bank. I was just wondering is that self stick glue gluten free. I handle many envelopes in a day. -
I had a little sister diagnosed with celiac in the 60's. They said she could outgrow it too. Celiac never goes away. She has many other health ailments because of it. I wish you luck and hope you are feeling better soon.

Does anyone know which body washes, shampoo and conditioners that are gluten free? -
ARCHIVED Celiac And Acne And Excema?
wowzer replied to Mally-bug's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
My eczema finally went away when I went gluten free. I'm 52 years old and went gluten free the beginning of the year. I grew up with a celiac sister, so I was eating at least gluten light for my teenage years. I ended up with adult acne. I'm sure it probably was due to gluten. I used to have the itchy scalp and always itched after a shower. I thought... -
ARCHIVED How Long Until You Noticed A Difference?
wowzer replied to moozicteacher's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I had many improvement in the first few weeks. I went gluten free the beginning of the year. I do notice if I do get glutened the reactions are worse now. -
I take synthroid because I orignally had a goiter. I have asthma. Although not officially diagnosed I believe I have DH. I've had way to many rashes diagnosed as many other things over my life. I do have a little sister that is a diagnosed celiac.

ARCHIVED Baking With Wheat For Others.
wowzer replied to busybee629's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I've had good luck baking cookies. I've used a couple of gluten free recipes from this site. I've also converted some of my old favorites. One I'm pleased to say my Mom couldn't tell the difference. I've also had great luck with muffins using Fearns brown rice baking mix. For cookies it seems to work best if I mix 3 different flours. -

ARCHIVED Baking With Wheat For Others.
wowzer replied to busybee629's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I have done some gluten baking because my husband complained that I never baked until I went gluten free. I am afraid of using flour because breathing it in almost seems like eating it to me. I decided to use a ready made crust and made a pecan pie. I just made sure I washed my hands, etc. after. I have also done the cookies you just put on the sheet... -
ARCHIVED Burt's Beeswax Lip Balm
wowzer replied to wowzer's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I don't know why I got the chapped lips now, I haven't been out in the sun. I was just thinking, the tube I opened came in a cute little kit. Maybe it is older and could contain wheat. I had bought a tube this winter that I was using with no problem. -
ARCHIVED Burt's Beeswax Lip Balm
wowzer replied to wowzer's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I didn't share it with anyone. I can't believe that I have chapped lips in the middle of summer. Maybe I have an issue with soy. Thanks for the replies. I'm just getting frustrated here. -
Now that you mention it my symptoms of OAS have improved since I went gluten free the beginning of the year. You are the first to answer this post from so long ago.

ARCHIVED Burt's Beeswax Lip Balm
wowzer posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I have been using some of the Burt's Bees products. I had thought the lip balm was ok, but I am getting gluten from somewhere, so trying to check everything again. I went to the site and searched for gluten free and all that came up was a sunscreen. Does anyone know for sure? -
I'm not understanding why you need a biopsy when you've had a positive blood test.

ARCHIVED Lemon Mascarpone Tart With Almond Crust
wowzer replied to sickchick's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
That sounds so yummy. Pies have never been one of my strong points, but I'll have to give it a try. I love lemon and cream cheese. Thank You, Wendy -
ARCHIVED Looking For Help Please
wowzer replied to wowzer's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I haven't totally figured out what is a typical gluten reaction. I haven't had what happened the other night that bad since going gluten free. Before I went off gluten it happened all of the time. It was one of the first symptoms to disappear. I originally went gluten free, because I thought many of the rashes I've had over the years could be DH. I do...
