I LOVE the Staxx and rely upon them for munchies. Have had no problem with them. Best place to get them at best price is Walmart in the chip aisle, usally top shelf, only $1.00 as compared to $1.69 at other grocery stores. I find them at the regular Walmart....haven't been to a superWalmart that has all of the groceries. Also I have never had a problem...

Try Edy's brands. It's called something else west of the Mississippi.....Dreyer's I think. They have LOTS of flavours. I think they are upfront about all labeling of gluten but I call them up. They will send you a gluten-free list of their current flavours. I don't remember if they send coupons or not (alot of manufacturers do). They are very friendly...

Hebrew National Hot Dogs ARE gluten free. They are all beef and as they are kosher, they don't have sugar and the other things (you know, rat's tails etc.....lol) that have been reported in other hot dogs. I called the manufacturer and their hot dogs are gluten-free. I'm sure they do have nitrates tho but they taste SO good! Angel

Oops and sorry about my last post......"lame advertisement" popped in for amazon website and THEN I remembered something about not mentioning websites........sorry for the error!....................Angel

"Celiac Disease: The Hidden Epidemic", by Peter H. R Green M.D. is excellent......unfortunately it's only available in hardcover. I don't remember that there were any recipes tho.......but it does offer an excellent overview (and then some) that's easily understood. I was going to suggest Jax Peters Lowell's "Gluten Free Bible" until I went to Lame Advertisement...

Yup, Epstein Barr is thought to cause mono most of the time, however, previously for years they'd thought that Epstein Barr caused CFS (or CFIDS) but I have heard that they have changed that thinking now. Just an FYI and not to be scary, I was dx with CFS over 20 yrs ago and Fibromyalgia (formally) 8 yrs ago and even tho I'm of course completely compiant...

TURTLES too!!!!!!! I called a few months ago and the woman, very sweetly, told me not only are they gluten-free but that they know we Celiacs need some goodies. Turtles way back used to be run by DeMets, most recently by Nestle but now apparently sold bk to DeMets. I love them and have had no problem with them. She also told me that they've rec complaints...

Slllluuurrrrrrp! Those pancakes are GREAT! They are my new bestest favouritest food. Here comes the sugar wagon! I quit eating pancakes years ago when I found out I was hypoglycemic but I picked up TJ's frozen pancakes and they sat in my freezer and I finally tried them lately and now I'm out and going to get more before our snowstorm (Chicago) moves in...

DO go to your library.....that's what I was going to say and then I saw it here. My local libraries (and interrlibrary loans) have lots........OR......you can go to a Borders or a Barnes and Noble and sit in there cafe and write down recipes out of books if the directions aren't too extensive. Just thought I'd throw that one out there too. I too...

The December Reader's Digest has an article all about "Gut" problems and has a quite accurate and thorough accounting of Celiac Disease.....I thought.....anybody see this yet? Have a Happy and Gluten Free Thanksgiving! Angel

Jerome Groopman writes articles for The New Yorker Magazine. He posted an article approx 7 years ago regarding Fibromyalgia. Based on his lack of research and closedmindedness, in addition to his response to people who wrote regarding his article (did you get that? lol), I found him to be NOT very openminded thus I quickly looked thru his book and put it...

P.S. I know this isn't the right area and I don't know how to start a new thread and the liberry will be shutting down very shortly.......but did anybody see the new book, "Gluten Free Girl" that's finally out? I just picked it up today at Borders. Plan to start it tonight. Just wanted to let you know that it's out now. Enjoy!

Hi All! I rec the TJ's flyer and hopped over there yest. Got the gluten-free ginger snaps and they are GREAT! I think they taste sorta like vanilla wafers with an edge at the end. I plan to stock up on these new goodies. Also tried the gluten-free granola. It was good too and I plan to get more. Wasn't aware that there was more than one kind......? ...

"The Gluten Free Bible" by Jax Peters was quite helpful in addition to the Hidden Epidemic. Most libraries seem to carry it too if you're unable to buy it for any reason. Good luck!

I think the yeast is supposed to be gluten-free.......but I have found with the mess that my tummy has been in this last year after getting dx, that too much can bother my tummy.....esp if I haven't been taking my probiotics. That's something to think about, that yeast is hard on a tummy and maybe meanwhile someone else will pipe in and let us know if it...
