    Our Aldi's gluten-free bread is pretty good, albiet a tad on the thin side. It's sold defrosted, and I keep it in the fridge. Otherwise it gets moldy quickly. best regards, larry mac

    Very impressive article. Great info, and well written! Two comments I have: Gluten-free pizza , in my experience, and IMO, always sucks, unless it's cooked in an industrial oven such as Domino's. So that's a tough one, and Carnival is in the same boat as the rest of us there (oops). Sandwiches, that's an easy fix. Simply utilize individual packets...

    If I may, Id like to comment on this 9½ year old (until yesterday) thread. I'm not a food chemist, or expert, so this is just my opinion. I don't use artificial sweeteners. Not because of any health concerns, but because they don't taste good to me. I just can't abide 'em. lol. However, I'm very fond of Truvia. This is not an artificial sweetener, it'...

    Just my opinion, this is nonsense. There's no wheat, barley, or rye in corn. It's perfectly safe for Celiacs. best regards, larry mac

    Hallelujah! I buy Honey Nut Cheerios for my wife, and now I'll be able to eat them also! best regards, larry mac

    I can't hardly fathom having Celiac AND Diabetes. Much less being a young student living apart from family. This person faces some huge challenges, and I wish them all the strength and luck possible! best regards, larry mac

    Yes, and forgot to mention, I was sick for two years before I found a doctor that knew about Celiac Disease. Lost a lot of weight from gastro problems. Of course it's more known now days. best regards, larry mac

    I was extremely fortunate. Made an immediate and complete recovery the first day I started the gluten-free diet. It was like a miracle! best regards, larry mac

    Just had a dream last night where I ordered a hamburger, without bun, at a fast food restaurant, and saw the food preparer make it with a bun, and then take the bun off. I said "hey, that will make me very sick". Next thing I know, I'm eating a hamburger with the bun! And really tearing into it! lol. Yeah, I know, my dreams are crazy, and make no sense. ...

    ARCHIVED Flu Shot

    larry mac replied to JewelEBeth's topic in Super Sensitive People

    I've had flue shots every year for as long as I can remember. Before and after being diagnosed with Celiac Disease. Have never had a reaction, of any kind (well except perhaps a slightly sore arm, lol). best regards, larry mac

    Have you had any medical tests or clinical diagnosis? best regards, larry mac

    Hi Aimee, I'm sorry I don't have any advice for you. However, I'd like to add my support to keep searching for answers. You're far too young to be having these serious health problems. I too suffered for over two years before I finally found a doctor that had the expertise to help me. I didn't have the same problems as you do, and I feel for you. But I lost...

    As much as I dislike everything about Aldi's, I'm lovin the frozen Ravioli. For gluten-free, it's pretty tasty IMO. best regards, larry mac

    I've found plenty of rice flour at these stores. Lots of different brands. Cheap. best regards, larry mac

    Tried the Cheeseburger Macaroni last night. It needed doctoring up IMO, just like the mac & cheese. I added some cheddar, some Velveeta, lots more milk, some seasonings, some sour cream, and a little gluten-free Kikkomans soy sauce. It was pretty good, even reheated today (with more milk). Oh, and it required twice the cooking time as stated in the instructions...

    It's not an opinion, but I've been eating blue cheese for the full eight years since I was diagnosed. best regards, larry mac

    I shop at Walmart almost every day, and dislike Aldi's. Tried the great value brand mac & cheese last night. The mac does swell up like crazy like someone mentioned. The cheese powder was typical store brand mediocre, I prefer using Krafts cheese packets, and just throwing their noodles away. I had to doctor it up myself, but it was dirt cheap, compared...

    First I've heard of that. Where did you read that one out of three are negative? Are you referring to the visual part of the endoscopy that examines your villi, or the biopsy samples? And what about the people who have doubted their own self-diagnosis because they didn't get a biopsy. Not to mention, you may not be taken seriously is you just self-diagnose...

    http://omissionbeer.com/2014/01/06/omission-beer-awarded-the-celiac-sprue-association-recognition-seal// I'd try some if we had it here. Perhaps we do, but I haven't seen it. If it's "well below 20 ppm", it should be OK for Celiacs. Of course there's always going to be those few that can't tolerate even infinitesimal amounts of gluten. But I don't believe...

    That's a classic NoGlutenCooties! Here's one that might be called a Freudian slip in reverse. I dreamed I was at a restaurant/bar/club, and a beautiful, sexy woman sat down and started talking to me. Flirting in a very provocative way. She had a short dress on, and I started gently touching her legs. Then I said "your skin is so beautiful, feels like...

    I completely agree with you about me making any statements concerning what a corn intolerant person may eat. That's not my area of expertise, as it were. And I apologize. I wouldn't have even read that post if it had been in a forum thread devoted to "other insensitivities/intolerances" etc. Corn intolerance is not Celiac Disease. Many believe they are soy...
  23. larry mac
    Unless just the sight of, or smell of, or suggestion of corn makes one sick, i.e., mind over matter, Velveeta just might be tolerable for the corn insensitive. ~ Citric Acid: Open Original Shared Link ~ Sorbic Acid: Open Original Shared Link ~ Maltodextrin: Open Original Shared Link best regards, larry mac
  24. larry mac
    Why not use Velveeta? It doesn't contain any corn ingredients. BTW, this isn't a "Coping with Celiac Disease" issue, per se. It is a "Other Food Intolerance and Leaky Gut Issues" topic. Just saying. best regards, larry mac

    My wife always bought a bunch of cookies when her niece was in Girl Scouts. Luckily she's grown up now. Thin mints were my least favorite. Just never have liked hardly anything mint. I did like the Trefoils, Thanks-a-Lots, Samoas, and Tagalongs. It's my understanding that the gluten-free ones are only to be offered in certain regions of the country, and...
