    My first gluten-free stuffing was with Ener-G. I didn't like it but then I don't like stuffing. Daughter didn't like it either and she was the one who needed gluten-free. Everybody else seemed to like it but there was a lot of leftover.

    I've noticed similar things with nuts from Costco but not necessarily in the shell.

    Somebody posted in another thread that there is a new one that is not gluten-free. They couldn't remember the particulars.

    Currently she can't think of anything she wants. I suggested a rolling bag to take to the dance conventions later in the year. Although she wants one, she doesn't want it as a gift. When I was a kid, we got tons of gifts. My parents still give us tons of gifts. A lot of them tend to be useful things or things we would need. Like when we were kids...

    I am no expert and my allergies are the IGg type. I also do not need to be gluten-free, so no villi damage. However, I do know the type of reactions I get from the allergens. Eggs would rival on the surface the same sort of symptoms a celiac would get from eating gluten. So I would never risk eating them. Dairy used to give me ear and sinus infections...

    Daughter was allergic to dairy and eggs. I was allergic to dairy. We outgrew those things. Now we can eat them, but we were told to have them no more than twice a week and not on subsequent days. Eating without eggs, dairy and gluten isn't all that hard. Most rice and corn pasta is egg free. I have seen some with eggs in it, but most does not have...

    I tried making my own bread both from scratch and from mixes. I quit doing that. Why? Mostly they didn't work. I should add that we are dairy and egg free as well. I do sometimes make the zucchini bread recipe on this website. It works quite well. I sub in flax for the eggs. I had a cupboard full of different kinds of flour. I would buy something...

    I don't have celiac but I do have multiple food allergies, diabetes and gastroparesis. That means my food choices are limited. It bugs me when people go out of their way to make something or buy something they think I can eat. Most of the time I can not. Then it bugs me further when they insist that I just try it.

    My mother just does not get it. Last time I left daughter with her, she (daughter) was sick to her stomach. It turned out to be an allergic reaction to an allergy med she was on. How ironic is that? Anyway... Grandma tried to force her to eat crackers to settle her stomach. Daughter is 12 and was old enough to know better, but she said she had to fight...

    You really do have to be careful of the cross contamination. Sometimes my daughter has insisted on eating something that says "May contain..." In her case it is more than just wheat. Hers are allergies. Almost always when she eats stuff like that she gets sick. We will no longer buy those things, nor will be buy if it says made on shared equipment. ...

    I did that with some purchased cornbread. I can't remember the exact name of the company. Allergy Foods or Allergen Foods or something like that. They used to sell it by the sheet. They no longer do but they do sell the mix. It requires no egg or dairy. When the sheet arrived, I didn't have time to deal with it and just stuck it aside. When we got...

    If I were you I would bring food from home. The biggest problem for you would likely be cross contamination. For our first gluten-free Thanskgiving my mom made sure she bought safe turkey. We didn't eat the gravy. I made wild rice because we were not eating dairy at the time. So we had the plain turkey, wild rice and plenty of raw vegetables. Not...

    I've seen the few episodes they have. Is it still on? There is a girl that my daughter dances with who could probably be on that show. She is about 9 or 10 but is the size of a 6 year old. The mom said she hasn't grown in a year. When I first met them, I thought the girl had celiac. She was about 5 then and had so many problems with her teeth she...

    I don't have an issue with gluten, but do have a severe egg allergy. I got angry with my husband for the way he was cooking eggs. He was putting them in my Corelle bowls and microwaving them with no added fat. That meant they were welded onto the bowls and I just could not get them clean. So I bought paper bowls and told him to use only the paper bowls...

    Oh boy does this sound familiar! I'm 51 and my daughter is 12. We both have food allergies as does my mom. My mom prefers to eat whatever she wants and then expects sympathy when she gets sick. But she never relates the sickness to the food and gets angry with us for mentioning it. My family doesn't believe in cross contamination. They think a little...

    The corn allergy is a tough one. The boy I knew who had it also had an allergy to some kind of yellow dye. I bought some candy he could eat at the health food store. I can't remember what it was called. They were little fruit flavored pellets.

    She has a tutor. I can't help her with her homework for two reasons. When I do, she gets it wrong because I got it wrong. And we don't work well together.

    My story is somewhat similar. Reactive hypoglycemia my whole life. Then in my mid/late 30's it went away. Suddenly I could skip a meal and not get sick. I thought this was a good thing! Got pregnant at 39 and was told I had gestational diabetes early into the pregnacy. I really think it was type 2. Why? About a year after having the baby I was finally...

    IMO, if you see those numbers you are not a non-diabetic. Get to an Endocrinologist ASAP!

    I do not have celiac but do have Fibromyalgia and at times can get canker sores. I tend to get the sores when I have a virus. Certain foods can make them worse for me. Namely walnuts and potato chips. I don't know why. The Fibromyalgia is linked to my thyroid. I quit eating soy except for soy lecithin (mainly in vitamins) and soybean oil (mainly in...

    Hmmm... I don't know. I didn't have to do anything like that when I went. I don't know that she will be going to college. At the rate she is going, I don't think she will be able to get in. She is in special ed.

    There are no shelters around here that I know of. Just some places that keep a few cats from various places that need to be adopted. I don't have a camera, don't do pictures and don't do scrapbooks. How could a scrapbook help with college? My mom started one for me and then turned it over to me when I was about her age. I thought it was pefectly...

    Sounds like you could have diabetes or pre-diabetes. Mid 70's certainly can be a hypo. Keep in mind that those meters have an percentage of error. Depending on the source, a hypo can be anywhere from 65 to 70. You can also have symptoms of hypo when you have a quick drop in blood sugar. You would do best to eat more slower acting carbs like dried...

    Oops! I double quoted. Can you please delete this?

    I do, but... I find that it often doesn't work very well.
