    You can buy Spectrum at Whole Foods for sure. I've also seen it at regular grocery stores like Kroger. It's usually right next to Crisco.

    This one works great! Open Original Shared Link You can make with Spectrum Shortening for soy free.

    I haven't tried Domata but Better Batter is the best all-purpose mix I've tested so far. I'm interested in what others have to say! One of these days I'll get around to ordering Domata.

    Try spraying them with diluted dish or castile soap. Castile soap gets rid of just about everything that grows on my plants! (I've never lost any of the plants you mention though so it may not work)

    I know it's frustrating. The best advice I can offer is to try several brands and go with the one that works for you. Every body is different and we all have one or two things that bother us despite being gluten-free!

    I guess the big question would really be what happened to the groats before they came into your kitchen - how were they harvested, where were they stored, how were they packaged, etc. We don't fully understand why some people can tolerate them and others can't beyond the proteins being slightly different and technically not being gluten so it won't hurt and...

    Chick-Fil-A, Five Guys and In N Out are OK. Most of the others aren't because they are either fried in a shared fryer or contain some sort of gluten in the seasoning, etc. McDonald's are a personal choice. Many celiacs enjoy them without issue.

    This is an awesome idea! Amy's Kitchen will send you a coupon book if you email and ask.

    I'm not Momma Goose but can tell you that Kirkman Labs, Freeda and Country Life are popular brands.

    Dear Valued Consumer: Thank you for contacting us concerning our frosting. We appreciate the opportunity to address this matter. Wheat Starch was recently replaced with Corn Starch in Betty Crocker Rich &Creamy and Whipped Frostings. When a change like this happens, consumers may find both packages on store shelves at the same time. We advise you...

    Building iron stores back up is a pretty slow process and can take many months. If it's really low your doctor will likely put you on a supplement.

    pernicious anemia is only dangerous when it's not treated properly. If you have pernicious anemia you lack the ability to absorb B12 through your digestive tract (research intrinsic factor) so it doesn't matter what supplement you take or what you eat. The standard treatment is to bypass the digestive system with B12 injections every week or two.

    It is also processed using a barley enzyme. It does cause problems for some of us even though it is technically gluten-free. I am sensitive and my body certainly doesn't like it.

    Based on their response above, it sounds like they are only declaring wheat on the labels. Barley, rye and oats could easily be hiding in natural flavors, etc. I avoid them because they've never been very helpful when inquiring about the status of a product. I prefer to stick to brands that clearly labels all forms of gluten.

    The gluten-free diet is pretty hard to master - especially if you don't keep a gluten-free kitchen and aren't familiar with it. If the others in the family don't have celiac I'd suggest focusing on them and taking dad a store bought frozen gluten-free meal and dessert or something (Amys Kitchen, Whole Foods Bakehouse, etc.). I don't know the exact circumstances...

    I had a positive experience at Bugaboo Creek recently. They have a Open Original Shared Link. The salmon is served on a single use cedar plank so I assumed the chance of CC was pretty low. The server happened to have gluten issues and she went out of her way to make sure everything was OK.

    Buying in bulk on the internet is the best way. Chebe, Domata Living and Better Batter sell flours in bulk packaging and it's substantially less than buying the 1-2lb packages in the grocery store. A..zon has decent prices on cases of Tinkyada. I also have one bread machine mix that I like that I order by the case from there. I buy flour mixes direct...

    It sounds like you are either on the wrong medication or the dosage isn't correct (too much or too little). It's important to know your T3 level and if your body can covert T3 to T4 properly as that will also help determine the best medication. Some medications only have T4 (I think unithroid is T4 only). I take Armour (natural) and love it. But everyone...

    I swear by Avon skin-so-soft oil.

    That is indeed one of the many benefits of a small southern town. I enjoyed grocery delivery in a past life but I think I prefer knowing my pharmacist and knowing that they deliver much better.

    Mexico is very celiac friendly. I've never had a problem there. I always pack a suitcase of food when I travel. I like to take along individually wrapped snacks and maybe a bag of chips or crackers for the hotel room. Other easily transportable items are jerky, peanut/nut butter and such. Shelf stable liquids like rice milk and broth also work. You might...

    There are also quite a few salad dressings on store brand gluten-free lists so check those out too.
  24. MaryJones2
    It might be the brand (some hold up better than others) or you could be cooking it too long. I use Tinkyada and find that it only needs to be cooked for 6-8 minutes and not the 15-18 minutes recommended on the package.

    Codex wheat starch isn't free of gluten but rather processed to contain less than 20ppm. I didn't tolerate it at all but everyone reacts differently so it's really a personal decision. It isn't allowed in gluten-free food in the US and I've never seen it in the stores here but I'm sure it's available online somewhere. There are a few celiac stores in Europe...
