    Yes, your introduction is catchy. Thanks for raising awareness. If we all do our bit, gluten-free will not be a foreign language anymore. Good luck with your presentation!

    Happy birthday and may God bless you today!

    Thank you for that very detailed report.

    Yes, sorry I wasn't more specific. Just wondering how it worked and if anyone had a good/bad experience there. I've never been.

    Anyone have an opinion on Mongolian Grill?

    Thanks for answering my question. All of your wishes are also on my wish list. I'm lucky to live in Milwaukee which does, in fact, have an all-gluten-free grocery store. I would LOVE to have a coffee shop. I think if I were to start my own business, I'd have to do something that had appeal to the non gluten-free world to be able to have a larger customer...

    I have a question for you... What type of gluten-free related business would you like to see start up in your neighborhood / hometown? little_c

    I've been away from blogging and went in to check my entries today. I was surprised to see that my last blog was a year ago when I wrote about my first Thanksgiving after diagnosis. My, how time flies! Since this year's Thanksgiving has just ended, it's a good time to compare the experience a year later. It's been a crazy year of ups and downs in my personal...

    I've just purchased my first bag of Featherlight Blend flour. I looked at the ingredients and there's seemingly no binder in it such as guar gum or xanthan gum. My question is, do you substitute featherlight one for one with wheat flour in a recipe? Is that all I need to do? Do I need to add xanthan gum, too? If so, how much? I'm trying to convert...

    I have to agree that this diet forces you to be creative. There really is a lot of good, tasty food out there that's gluten-free. Unfortunately, some things cannot be re-created. There's gluten in everything for a reason! I'm 8 months into this and I've learned that my tastes have changed. I still have days when I feel deprived, but have a whole new list...

    Well, it's here. This will be my first holiday season going gluten-free. I took on cooking the thanksgiving dinner for 11 so I could control the gluten. That's really easier in some ways than going somewhere else. My family has been good about accommodating me, but it's hard to trust that someone else's cooking is not cross contaminated. My sister's OK...

    Please forward your plan to me at ktank@wi.rr.com thank you, little_c

    I'm so sorry. That's an incredible amount of time. It's too bad those who see gluten-free as a 'diet choice' don't realize how serious this is.

    I'm curious because I've been thinking about trying dairy free for a while but I'm afraid to. What do you use as a calcium supplement if you're not eating dairy? I'm afraid of osteoporosis. Thanks.

    My reaction usually starts about 2 hours after eating offensive foods. The effects usually last 24 - 48 hours. I've spent whole weekends recovering from a Friday night glutening. Yuk.

    Hello there: I'm from Milwaukee and get to Chicago occasionally. I will watch your website for restaurant reviews before my next trip. I was there last month and ate at Jack's American Blend on Halstad. I called ahead to discuss their gluten-free options and Connie (co-owner) was so helpful. The meal was perfect and delicious. Everyone, including the...

    Hello again. It's been a while since I've written. I live in a land where seasons change and summer's way too short. I've been busy enjoying life outside and away from a computer (at least at home.) Work's another story. I've been diagnosed for five months now. In some ways it feels like yesterday and in others like lifetimes ago. It's still a day...

    Katydid: Since summer arrived (my first since diagnosis) I've been craving an ice cream cone! I never thought of using a pizelle maker. Can you list the recipe you use? I have a friend who makes pizelles and just might make me some cones if I give her your recipe. Thanks.

    Thanks everybody. They all sound yummy.

    Hello: I'm assuming that many of you eat green/fresh salads on a regular basis. I've discovered that they can be really filling and satisfying if I vary them from day to day and make them with LOTS of ingredients. I'm hoping you will take a minute to give me (us) your recipe to add to my collection. Here's my latest mix: baby romaine lettuce mixture...

    I'll respond to my own post with the answer I got from Kemps in case anyone else has the same question: "All Kemps products are gluten-free unless they contain a bakery item (things like cookies, cake, brownies, Graham crackers and pie pieces.) The modified food starch in all Kemps products is cornstarch. The only exception is Kemps frozen yogurt, in...

    I'm newly diagnosed also. I did have a positive biopsy, so no question with me. My next step was to see a dietician to get tips on how to follow a gluten free diet. You need to be sure that it's a dietician that knows about celiac. I also recommend that you read "Celiac Disease: A Hidden Epidemic" by Peter H.R. Green and Rory Jones. Dr. Green is the...
