    I love Carrabba's. It's the only sit-down place we go. I always get the Chicken Bryan and the Sicilian Chicken Soup. However, please, please ask the kitchen to double check that the soup doesn't have any pasta that has accidentally fallen in the soup and gone straight to the bottom. Each time, they have thrown out the soup pot, but the damage was already...

    I just had to do this recently. It takes alot more time than opening a box, but that is just the way it goes for people with food intolerances. The first step is to make homemade cornbread. If your recipe calls for white wheat flour, simply substitute it for rice flour. I haven't found that the type of flour makes a difference for cornbread. Let...

    I used yogurt cheese for months before I ventured out into other cheeses. I bought the prepackaged cheese in from the deli case at the grocery and it looks just like a half moon of cheese. You can shred it, slice it, cube it, whatever. Is it good? Yes, it has a unique flavor like a swiss blend. Is it easy to make...do you have a recipe? I found...

    Yes, I've used the Kroger white vinegar for months before I finally figured out it was the problem. According the the Kroger dietician (who are just wonderful) about 10% of celiacs have a reaction to 90/10 white vinegar. I'm so sensitive that even using Kroger white vinegar in a diluted spray bottle for household cleaning effects me greatly (inhaling tiny...

    Has anyone with sensitivities to distilled vinegar tried the Hellman's Mayo? My concern is the vinegar, even though distilled, I have problems if it is distilled from a grain other than corn. For example, Kroger white vinegar is only 90% corn and 10% "other grains" which may or may not contain wheat. This is directly from the Kroger Dietician. I sure...

    Thanks Ursa and HiDee for the advice. I've noticed that since I found out about the twins, I have given myself permission to (1) feel extremely pregnant (2) eat when I'm hungry which has considerably diminished my nausea and (3) put my feet up (as long as my 2 1/2 year old allows it). Keep the advice coming. I need help from the trenches...what is...

    Hi! Just found out last week at 20 week ultrasound that we are having another boy and a girl! Whew! Any advice? Do I need more high protein foods? Help! Thanks, Kim

    I second the recommendation from CarlaB regarding reading the book "What Your Doctor Might Not Tell You About Premenopause". I just finished an intense scan of the book last night and there is alot of helpful advice and direction about hormonal imbalance and how to get back on track. If you are between 20 and 50, good book to keep on hand as a reference...

    I used a prescription prenatal for my first child (pre-celiac) and was told by a pharmacist that the OTC prenatals are just as good. I was relieved b/c I was on vacation and forgot my vitamins. I don't use prescription now, instead I use Nature Made Prenatals (Kroger) and have been very please with them. I found these to not irritate my system after...

    Definately like the cooler idea. Gives me a good excuse to get a good one with wheels!

    Thanks everyone! Your responses are reassuring that I won't get in trouble with "nurse rachet". I'll check to see how much fridge space I can take up. Love the ideas about pumpkin seed bars and such. I'll have to go shopping before hand and really stock up. The other problem is that the delivery hospital is an hour away from us so I will really have...

    Hi! This will be my second child but first gluten-free pregnancy and delivery . I have done my research and determined that I shouldn't trust the dietician and kitchen at the hospital and should prepare my own meals in advance to take to the hospital. Btw, it will be c-section so the stay will be 3 to 4 days. What did you do when you were...

    Can you wonderful chicken egg gatherers tell me about your coop? I need to revamp ours and I'm confused on which way to go. I'd like to minimize shoveling but keep a nice comfy space for my chickens. Also, did you brood your chicks? If so how and did you do the chick starter feed? Thanks, Kim

    This sounds like farming to me! It's sustainable agriculture...living off the land. Do you have a pressure canner? I plan to do alot of canning this year. We had 24 tomatoe plants last year and I made all my own ketchup and tomato sauce BUT we are all out by December! What kind of orchard do you have? I would love to have an apple orchard someday. Kim

    In the beginning after going gluten-free I did and sometimes I do now when I over indulge. Could it be the fat content? My understanding is that you digestive system has to work so much harder to digest fat b/c things are working right (is that technical enough---argh) Anyway, do other high fat content thinks bother you?

    Hi! I use Aussie products for hair styling products. Burt's Bees for shampoo and conditioner. Jason Naturals for body lotions and body wash (read the ingredients though...I use the Cocoa Butter and it's ok). THAI Crystal deodorant stone (health food stores carry these...better in long run). Avalon Organics for facial moisturizer. Kiss-my Face...

    kenlove, thanks for sharing and the links. I learned something and this is what this thread hopes to achieve. Best of luck with your studies. Also, check out www.endlessfeast.tv. This is a PBS program all about bringing food producers, chefs, and food artisans together. Plus, it gives the participants so much publicity. Enoy the warm weather....it...

    Haha, I remember hearing those wild rooster everywhere on Kauai! It was unbelievable! How big are fig trees? I've never seen one. I love to hear that people still take an interest in agriculture...whether it be a backyard chicken coop or a 1000 ranch. It would just be nice to know that somebody is interesting in sustainable farming. I look forward...

    Hi! I grew up farming in west-central Ohio. After years from being away from it, my husband and I bought a small farm in south-west Ohio. We are going to put out a hay crop in 2008 and possible pasture some feeder sheep this year too. I'd also like to get some chicks for laying hens. Is there anyone else out there with celiac who farms? I'd...

    I know I shouldn't be complaining...I'm just overreacting. I emailed my husband's g-ma who is celiac too (yep, my son has it on both sides) and she said that perhaps my gut is healed enough to withstand it and perhaps the poisonous pasta wasn't in the broth that long. I'm just waiting for the pain to come on...crazy as it sounds. Definately overreacting...

    Hi! I really need some wisdom from the forum. We dined out Saturday at Carrabba's and I ordered my usual. I took my digestive enzyme and a lactaid pill. The gluten-free sicilian chicken soup came and it was cold, so I sent it back. The new hot soup came back; I took 3 or 4 bites and then noticed that the soup had pasta in it (it was all the way...

    Seriously. It make us sounds like it is terminal. When I say that I have Celiac Disease, people give me the strangest look like "Gosh, how long do you have?". Celiactic! I like that! >> Kim
