    While I agree that as far as gluten free bread goes Udi's is probably the best, I don't think that it's AMAZING. We ordered two cases of it and it was wonderful to have because I didn't have to make bread and it did stay decently soft and didn't go bad as fast as other gluten-free bread. Here are some cons that I wish someone had told me: 1. It's TINY...

    As the only person with symptoms in my family at the time, I was surprised when I came up negative but my husband and daughter were both positive with Enterolab (I'm the one with the family history, and all the health issues). They are both gluten free now, and do have symptoms when they have it but it was frustrating trying to convince them that the tests...

    There's a connection for me. Everytime I have any dairy I break out in those big underground pimples that hurt. It's so frustrating as I'm 30 years old and never really had any acne problems when I was younger.

    I can't answer your enzyme question, but I wanted to let you know that you aren't alone in the acne department. I can't use anything with salicylic acid in it or I get those huge underground zits too. And it takes forever for them to go away. I take Lysine for acne, it helps with inflammation in the body. Please post if you find an answer to your issues...

    Yeah, I'm thinking thyroid issues. I've been on Armour Thyroid for a few months now but recently complained to my doctor that I don't think it's working. It's a very low dose. I had already made an appointment to get my levels checked again before I noticed the finger issue. It's really very annoying. I go in next week so I'll be sure to post again. I'm sure...

    So for a while now I've had issues with my fingertips looking wrinkled and shriveled. Almost like when you soak your hands in water for a long time, only they haven't been in water at all and it's not the pads of my fingers, but on the tips. I haven't been doing any work with my hands, and they aren't dry and cracked. They look like little cracks but they...

    I vote for the Kichen Aid Mixer as well. I had a super expensive bread maker and it lasted for about six months before the pan got stuck in the groove and I had to use spatulas to get the bread out and pry the pan out after it cooled. I looked it up and that's a common thing to happen. It also has begun to show rust already in the pan and it makes funny noises...

    Ahhh... you got the typical response for CYA. I hate those! I got the same response from them regarding their choc covered espresso beans. My mom and I drink their brewed coffee with no gluten issues. She's extremely symptomatic, I am not. She's never had a problem so far. Other than that I can't say what else is safe. Good luck!

    You sound exactly like me! I am SO upset over my coffee making me sick. It's been this way for three years for me now... I'll stay away from it for awhile and then I'll give in and have it. The first couple of days are awesome, I'll feel wonderful and energetic. Then slowly it catches up to me. All over horrible body pain, fatigue, grumpiness, sick to my...

    I have a HUGE problem with coffee in general. It started about 3 years ago, right before I got pregnant with my second child. I shrugged it all off on pregnancy tiredness. After my daughter was born I had major issues with fatigue and PAIN. Weird horrible pain all over my body like it was fibro but I didn't have the pressure points Dr's diagnose with. I'll...

    wow thanks for the info. it's always good to have more choices. my husband is newly gluten-free. i'm sure he'd love to have a beer!

    I think it's pretty cool that we have choices now! We can go to Louie's for a more "regular" style pizza or Chicago Connection for a thin crust style. I'm not really sure what I prefer yet as Louie's changed their crust and it's pretty dry now. But it is nice to have both styles!

    Hey just an update- Hubby and I ate there tonight. It was really yummy too. The gluten-free crusts are 10" and they are the thin crust style, so they are pretty thin. I asked our waitress what brand they were but she wasn't sure. She thought they got them from Food Services but who knows. Next time I'm going to ask the manager. I would have asked them tonight...

    I just got an email from my MIL who lives in Meridian. She said she drove by Chicago Connection and there was a sign that said they now have Gluten Free crusts. I've never eaten there and I have no idea about their cross contamination preventions, but I thought that was pretty neat! Just thought I'd pass the information on. Has anyone had their pizza yet...

    just an fyi to anyone who might be wondering about this, i called my pharmacy (duh! lol) and was told this: "well, i don't see that it has gluten in it... so yeah, you should be fine." i'm not exactly sure what i think about that response. he didn't exactly sound sure about it. i would have quizzed him further but they were busy and honestly i don't...

    anyone?? there has to be someone out there who knows about this one. its a really common birth control. i

    Does anyone know if TriNessa is gluten free? It's the generic of OrthoTriCyclen and that is ok, but I can't find TriNessa. I've searched everywhere!! Thanks!

    My husband, my daughter, and I all got tested. They both came back positve and I came back negative. I am the one with obvious gluten issues... My daughters specialist said enterolab is "voodoo". I'm not sure what to think about it. I had been eating gluten for a long time before I did that test and I was SO sick from it. I even put in their little thing...
  20. jitters
    ok, that is SO weird. I do the EXACT same thing! I do think it is worse when I get into gluten, but who knows. It's always when I'm waking up and its always a spider! If I'm on my back I see spider webs falling on me from the ceiling. I always flip the blankets up over my head to keep them from landing on me. It feels so real doesn't it? It used to...

    thats a good question. i remember seeing the movie and thinking it was really cool they made him "gluten free". but i don't remember the mom saying anything about the shirt and irony... were they talking about something else at the time and she was just looking at him? because the breakfast was bacon and eggs right? so maybe his character is gluten free but...

    Wow, how did I miss this thread! This is so great. My husband and I had heard of a bakery in "caldwell" that was gluten free but I had NO luck finding it online. We live in Emmett and although I've been gluten-free for awhile now, my whole family is giving it a shot. Louie's on Chinden near Jake's Place has a gluten-free menu for pizza and pasta. We've never...

    Hi there, I know your frustration! I just want to let you know that until the last couple of years heart palpitations and insomnia were my two biggest symptoms (sometimes my only symptoms). Once I went gluten free for a long time I could start to feel some stomach issues and other weird things started happening. As far as the anemia, I'm not sure what to...

    Okay... I've had it! I am by no means new to this whole Celiac/gluten thing. My mom has been living with Celiac for almost 15 years now. I went gluten free about 5 years ago and felt SO much better. It was amazing. Fast forward three years and I was married with one child, still doing pretty well with an occassional gluten slip up every now and then. I have...

    L-Lysine works awesome for me to hold off those cold sores. It is an amino acid and you can find it in the vitamin aisle at any store. Its way way cheaper than Abreva (which doesn't work for me anyway). I take two pills in the morning and two at night. Believe it or not its made my acne go away too. I used to get cold sores when glutened all the time, and...
