Hi everyone! I am looking to buy a new bread machine - my old one (from my pre-gluten-free days) just isn't holding up anymore. I have heard that there are machines out now with gluten free cycles, I would definitely be interested in that. I like the sound of the Breadman TR2500BC Ultimate Plus - but from online reviews, I've read that some people...

I was another person with negative blood tests but a positive biopsy. I am not sure which of the blood tests they ran, but nothing turned up until the biopsy. I asked my doctor if I could see the specialist anyway, since even though I had negative blood tests, I had a lot of symptoms. I got an appointment, then a biopsy - postive diagnosis. Fight for...

I liked Blake, Melinda, & Gina. I liked Haley, too, we liked her since the auditions, so it was great to see her performing well again. But overall, I was fairly bored, things just need to get better from all the contestants. I hope that Sanjaya or Brandon goes home--To quote Randy, Sanjaya was "almost unlistenable." I just wanted it to stop! ...

I think Sundance & Sabrina were the wrong choices to go home. I really liked Haley from her original audition, so I wasn't upset that she made it - we knew there would be one girl that we liked that didn't get through. It's just too bad for Sabrina - I wonder if she was just too much like Stephanie & Jordin that one of them was bound to go early...

Sanjaya should have gone along with Nick and Antonella should have left with Alaina I agree with this. I really liked Nick, but his voice, for me, wasn't as good as the other guys. I am so frustrated with Sanjaya - he just annoys me, I don't like his voice at all, and he was totally the worst performer this week. Antonella should go home, too, but...

darlinda, Thanks for your comments on the diabetes thing. I get so frustrated when she tells me this every day when I go in and ask about ingredients. Nothing I can say, though, she's just one of those people who enjoys being mean. Other diabetics I know who know that I have celiac have all said they'd rather have the diabetes. I hate wanting to play...

I can so relate to this. We've only gone out to dinner once since I was diagnosed. They did everything "right" and were very reassuring, my food came as requested and was delicious. I did get sick that night, though, not sure if it was them or me. I find myself feeling frustrated about this, too. I work in daycare and every day we are supposed to...

Whew, that is good to hear! I am so glad to know I can still have headache relief. THANK YOU!

Thanks so much - it's great to know those are okay. Now, if I could just have a dietician who will give me straight answers!

Just found this thread....My husband & I LOVE LOVE this show, which we started watching during Season 2. Since Season 3, one of us has been able to pick the winner during audtion rounds (He called it early on Fantasia & Taylor Hicks, I loved Carrie Underwood from Day 1.) We are just not sure this year...no one seems to really stand out like that...

Okay, so can anyone tell me if Pasteurized Process Cheese Food (i.e. Velveeta, Easy Cheese) etc is gluten free? I was diagnosed just over a month ago. I had heard that these kinds of cheeses were gluten free. My dietician told me I could not eat them. I told her that I thought they were safe, and her response was, "But why would you want to eat that...

Anyone know if Exedrin Migraine is gluten-free? I have found it's the ONLY med that takes care of my headaches, so I'm really hoping it's safe. I tried contacting the company via their website but no one has gotten back to me. Thanks, Allyson

We have a HyVee near us, so I've been lucky. The pizzas are more expensive online for some reason. I was VERY happy with this pizza - after a REALLY bad experience with Amy's Rice Crust pizza - felt like I was eating a dried out kitchen sponge, lol. This pizza is now a "must-have" in our house!

This was an issue that got better for me almost immediately (I have only been gluten-free for barely over a month.) I have always struggled from getting colds/blahs that wipe me out. I'd miss work, everyone would always tell me that "it's just a cold, everyone goes to work with a cold." I'd be in bed all day, day after day, no one "got it." I had...

Thanks everyone for your kind words. I am trying to hang in there. Physically, things are about the same. Accidentally got glutened last night (forgot to wash hands after handling pizza before eating my own food - not sure HOW that happened, yipes!) But dealing. Emotionally, things are rough. Depression was always an issue for me - I was hoping...
