  1. This is very different than the way my local communtiy college works. The disability office decides if there is a need and the teachers have to comply. I hope everything is granted.
  2. If you still have your gallbladder it might be the source of your pain.
  3. I put these back on the shelf.
  4. Based on your list you might be able to make the following: Spegetti sauce with meat - Brown ground meat, dried onion, salt and pepper and Italian Spices. Add in 8 oz of tomato sauce and 4 oz of water per 1/2 to 3/4 pound of meat. Add more Italian Spice, garlic powder, salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for about 30 minutes. Chili - Brown ground meat...
  5. Lisa, I don't know if this will help but below are some of the disability accomadations available at my son's Community College if the need is there: 1) Note taking service - Someone takes notes in class and types them up and gives them to you. 2) Have someone record the lecture 3) Arrange to have tests taken in the disabilty office. 4) Allow...
  6. I simply say "No thank you" assuming this is a casual social contact. I only go into a more detailed explantion when the person is persistant, usually after they are still pushing after the third "No thank you". I very briefly explain that I will get sick if I eat anything with wheat, oats, rye or barley, for you add dairy and soy or you could say multiple...
  7. Happy happy birthday!!!!!!!
  8. I Southern California every regular grocery store carries corn tortillas. I buy Mission Tortillas. I find them in any regular grocery store. I have also seen them in Walmart. Below is the website for Mission Foods. You may want to contact them to see if any of your local store carry them. Open Original Shared Link
  9. I use Annie's Naturals Organic Ketchup. It is labeled gluten free. I've never seen it in a regular grocery store. I find it at WholeFoods or Healthfood stores.
  10. I was diagnosed as a spring break of my junior year. I only knew the basics of cooking so I kept everything quick and easy. Below are samples of my five to ten minute meals: Canned Baked Beans with hot dogs Tortilla chips or corn tortillas with cheese and precooked meat, chicken, turkey etc. Microwaved baked potato - stuff with precooked meat...
  11. I don't have any specific information just general advice. I packed a two week supply of Lara Bars, Glutino Bars and Enjoy Life bars when I went to England and Paris for two weeks in 2006. I also packed two loaves of Food for Life Almond Bread. It will only last 4 to 7 days without refrigeration depending on the weather. We had a refrigerator available...
  12. Finally Diagnosed, I agree with Ursa Major. There isn't any nutritional value in gluten containing foods that can not be found in a gluten free diet. It is my opinion that people with celiac or gluten intolerance eat a more nutritionally balanced diet than most of the population because we know what is in everything we eat. This is because we eat less...
  13. It is always best to have a gluten free household, however that is not always feasable. I have a gluten limited household, basically bread and cereal. Since we already had gluten in the house for my husband when my son was a toddler (he is now 19), he ate a lmited amount of gluten at home from the time we introduced it at about 14 months. I also worked...
  14. I don't have any experience with the this. I can only suggest that you look into liquid nutrition products such as Ensure Slimfast, or protein shakes. I know there are other products like this, but I don't have any names. These may or may not help. I hope your DS gets better soon.
  15. You might want to include that, rye and barley, and oats also need to be eliminated from a gluten free diet. How about the fact that only 3% of people with celiac are diagnosed so about 1,940,000 are suffering and their long term health is at risk.
  16. I like Nana's lemon cookies. The cocoa ones are too dry, in my opinion. I have not had any problems with them. It is easy to grab the gluten cookies though. I did this once but noticed before I ate them. My co-workers were treated to cookies.
  17. Like you my memories of eating anyway other than gluten free are very very dim after 29 years. I am not even sure there is a light anymore.
  18. I cook gluten free holiday meals at my house. For me this is the best way to stay healthy during the holiday season.
  19. One coping strategy I used at home to prevent double dipping before my husband got his own sandwich making station outside the kitchen was to buy two kinds food. Examples: cheese - sliced for him, hard cheese for me peanut butter - brand name for him, organic for me jelly - brand name for him, organic for me Also, you could set up your own prep...
  20. Below is the link to the Slimfast website. The website says the Easy to Digest is lactose and gluten free. Based on the ingredients and allergen statement it is NOT casien or soy free. Open Original Shared Link
  21. I have a gluten limited house, basically bread and cereal are the only gluten items in my house. My husband has sandwich making station out side of the kitchen. It consists of an apartment size refrigerator, a small microwave and a large kitchen cart. The cart has cabinets in it. All his utentsils, plates and cooking items are in this cart in addition to...
  22. I almost always rent a hotel room, condo, cottage or cabin with a kitchen when I travel. If I am traveling by car I bring everything I need including utensils and pots and pans. I premake the main meals, freeze them and put them in a cooler. I also make sure I have lots of gluten free snacks. When we get to our destination we go to the grocery store and...
  23. When it makes sense I freeze meals in single servings. Examples are Chili or Spaghetti over rice or rice pasta. I use microwave containers that I find at the Container Store with a pop-up hole. See link below: Open Original Shared Link
  24. Yasim is gluten free. I don't believe it is lactose free.
  25. Send the black ones to me. They are my favorite. Black licorice was one of my favorite candies before going gluten free.
