    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...

    HI Laura! I was officially dx with Fibromyalgia 7 years ago after sitting under a Chronic Fatigue Syndrome dx for about 15 years. Used to be the exhaustion. Now I have the pain too but the exhaustion is still the worst for me. Going gluten-free did NOT help my Fibro (or hasn't yet) but it HAS helped my "IBS," which is what I thought the bouncing from...

    Barbara.....sorry don't know how to answer most of your questions (what's wrong etc) but just wanted to tell you that Coke.....and Pepsi are gluten free. I called Pepsi and ALL of their products are gluten free.....which includes Sierra Mist, Mountain Dew, Aquafina flavoured waters, etc. 7-Up and Sprite are also gluten-free while I'm at it. Hope this...

    I second the motion to check with a piano tuner. Last time I had mine out I asked him how much my piano might be worth and he took out a little book with alot of pages and lines with all makes and kinds of pianos. I thought that mine might be worth something as it is a 40+ yrs old upright piano in excellent condition, actually made out of real mahagony...

    Yikes, I've been wondering that too but didn't feel like asking since smokers always feel like 3rd class citizens. I used to smoke Marlboros but now smoke the Speedway brand cuz I like it better.....plus it's much cheaper to boot. I've wondered what they might use to "glue" the paper together. Since I've now been getting better (no more accidents!),...

    Around here in the Chicago area, the "new" People issue arrives every week on Friday, sometimes Thursday if we're lucky (at the newstands). Best article thus far but I was bummed at the angle of the People writer mainly sounding like this is a childhood problem, even tho they mentioned that adults have it and can take awhile to get dx. But what really...

    Welcome Lisa! Sorry you're having so much trouble! You will get ALOT of answers here from people who know more than me. I just wanted to post that you CAN be overweight and be Celiac. I was last year before going gluten free and I am one of the "lucky ones" that is losing weight now on the gluten-free diet. All of that said, please note to your doc that...

    Hi! Are you folks possibly talking about what I refer to as my "pinball machine?" For me it was mainly movement, not pain but oh boy, how much movement there was! The movement alone used to wake me up. And then in the morning it would happen before my, ah, morning "constitutional and if I didn't RUN to the powder room, I was in big trouble. I think...

    I was overweight as an undiagnosed Celiac. Lost 20 lbs from March to May last year and 10 lbs this year. The first time I went gluten free, I swear I lost at least one pants size in less than a week due to an amazing (bloated) tummy shrinkage. When I was a kid I was very skinny. I don't know if I was underweight per se, as I don't have a Mom around...

    Hi! I've never had V but I DO have Fibromyalgia and have seen a big connection between those two. If you're into reading, check out the following book: What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Fibromyalgia by Dr. R. Paul St. Amand and Claudia Marek. Your local library will probably have it or you can browse it at Borders or Barnes and Noble. I have Fibro...

    Candi......I forgot to answer your question about going to a dietician. I'm sure others here probably have more favourable experiences but I thought mine was a waste of good money. I waited over a week to go and maybe I expected miracles but she really didn't tell me anything that I already didn't know.....the only info that helped was what alcohol was gluten...
