    I'm sorry to hear about your job. Hopefully this will help This is exactly what the paper says that I got from Wild Oats. I haven't tried it yet - since I just found out in January... Tax Deduction for Gluten-Free Foods as Medical Expense\ 1. You may deduct the cost of Gluten-Free (gluten-free) products that are in EXCESS of the cost of the gluten...

    I always keep a bag of trail mix in the car - just in case. I love some that I found at Walgreen's of all places... It has dried fruit, peanuts and cashews, and just the right amount of little bits of white chocolate... A handful can keep you tied over for a couple of hours if you don't have time for a full meal...

    I have also heard that you could just submit it your cafeteria plan. I was actually planning on calling my provider sometime this week to check.

    Do you have the recipe for that? I've tried the Vans ones - what is the weird almost minty flavor that's there? I had a hard time with the texture - but just toasted them. I'll have to try the suggestions above...

    That's what I thought, but wasn't sure...Anyone know for sure?

    I had some last week for the first time - they were yummy! I don't think I had an issue with them - I haven't had any "glutenings" yet - I've only been at this for a month - so I'm still learning and not all better yet...

    Eating Gluten Free is also tax deductible! YOu can either claim it through your cafeteria plan or you can deduct the cost of gluten-free products that are in excess of the cost of what you are replacing. Or anything you wouldn't usually need (like Xanthan Gum) can be deducted in full. You can also chart mileage to the health food store - or delivery expenses...

    What about the Maltodextrin? I'm new at label reading too - and I thought I watched for that one...Is that another US is corn - others may use something else? I have the demelix ones too - I found them at Walmart and Target (I LOVE TARGET). They are yummy with salsa

    You're definitely right about the workplace. What's sad is my office is 90% women and we have absolutely no where to go to pump. My boss hung black construction paper up in the windows of a conference room so she could pump while she froze to death in the room we call the freezer. And she had to take the paper down everytime, b/c HR wouldn't allow it to stay...

    In that case I should clarify as to not offend Betty! I loved Sundance's audition and thought it was hilarious that me 3 year old told me he sounded funny - b/c for a 3 year old to have an opinion about it - especially when he danced and jumped and sang through the whole thing - just struck me as funny - that he was critiquing them I also really like Chris...

    Why was she against the gene testing? Just curious - I'm going to talk to my ped about it next week... And good luck

    I've tried Olay Quench Therapy Hand Creme and I broke out in a rash (it's gluten-free - My skin is just super sensitive.) I also tried ShiKai Dry Skin Therapy (also gluten-free and broke into a rash). I think I'm going to try good old fashioned Vaseline Intensive Care Advance Healing next....

    That is all so helpful! Thanks! I love aveeno - it really helps my hands - however it has oats in it.... Anyone know about that? Do you think if I use it at night and sleep with it, by morning I could wash the residue off before I eat?

    OOPs - didn't see your post. I use 1 lb of ground beef 1/2cup milk (you would have to replace) 1 egg some onion (depends on how much you like) and one piece of very toasted gluten-free bread chopped up into pieces. mix it all up - put in the oven at 350 for 1/2 hour. After 1/2 hour add a can of tomato sauce on top (I use Hunt's). Then cook another...

    I said potatos b/c I thought she was watching out for them b/c of her other issues.... My husband is loving me having celiac - I've been making homemade mashed potatos and meatloaf at least once a week I've been doing my trick I learned from Rachel Ray - just toasting a piece of bread (gluten-free of course) until it's REALLY toasted and cutting it...

    Thai food is naturally gluten free b/c they don't use soy sauce or msg - so as long as it's authentic and they don't use that (and that you don't put the breaded chicken in your meal) you should be able to enjoy a wide variety of food. That's what I hear anyway....I'm off for my first Thai food post gluten free adventure tomorrow for a work lunch...

    OHHH And what about pot roast and beef stew (minus potatos of course). And salisbury steak and meatloaf. OK, now I'm officially hungry again...

    I know how you feel about never touching gluten again. I was gluten free almost 4 whole weeks before my endo (I was losing too much weight too quickly and really dehydrated) - and there was still plenty of damage to be seen...My Dr told me not to bother going back on gluten - she didn't believe in making yourself sick over it - positive dietary response...

    I would also love to hear the answer to this... I need a great hand lotion - my knuckles are bleeding from washing so much I tried a new one and I now have a rash - thought it was gluten free - but always have had sensitive skin so it could be even something else...

    I just watched it this morning with the kids (I LOVE DVR!!). They love to dance to it - my 3 year old told me he didn't like Sundance - that he sounded funny I thought that was hilarious... I really liked Phil - he and Blake were my favorites from last night. I can't wait for the girls

    I know exactly what you mean! I was feeling so much better, the D had stopped and I felt like I was on the right path and wham! It was like detox (I guess...) I was lucky - it only lasted about 2 days for me - then it progressively got better. So hopefully you'll be on the mend here soon A note about the kids - my 3 year doesn't understand why I can...

    Good for you and for him! I need to be as assertive with my husband... It's hard to tell someone who doesn't understand anything about what we have what we are going through. As for the beer, Anheiser Busch has a new Gluten Free Beer called Redbridge and I hear that some bars, etc are starting to carry it.... YEA!

    That's why I made my edit - I missed that part! That's what I get for skimming.... I did nurse that often - if not more. With the second I never even got engorged...Milk just never came. And she was my best latcher. The hospital I used is a Catholic hospital - so they are Gung Ho on the nursing thing. I had a lactation consultant right away and the whole...

    We used to go there for drinks and appetizers once a week after girls night out volleyball. Now I can only eat the chips and drink a coke. We're trying to find somewhere else to go where I can eat an appetizer too - not a full meal. One of the best places I've been since all of this happened is Texas Roadhouse. Had a GREAT experience and food was excellent...
