    You are all right. I have fibromyalgia, migraines and a thyroid condition which all respond well to the gluten free diet, but I think I am gluten intolerant, caught before it became celiac disease. When doctors realize these things, then the gluten free diet will be recommended for more people to see if that helps them. They are making progress. Barbara

    As I am gluten intolerant/not celiac, I have a different reaction to major gluten. I feel sick to my stomach, light-headed, dizzy, sweaty, tired and like I am in a stupor and I just have to go to bed until it passes. This used to happen to me sometimes before I went gluten-free..........like a major sub or lots of pizza, very bready things. It happened...

    Me, too, just went off white sugar, I feel so much better when I don't do that. However, these sound fabulous, I am saving the recipe for my BD or some special occasion and going to put a chocolate ganach on them with a little raspberry sauce made from fresh or frozen raspberries. I will be like everyone having their own personal cake and sounds a lot easier...

    I have been making my own bread from Bob's Red Mill mixes. I actually make two at a time and put them in smaller pans so that I get eight loaves, cut them in eight each and for thos Weight Watchers out there, it is two points a slice. It only has to be baked for 20 minutes at 375. I just tried Gluten Free pantry's bread and that is good too. I love bread...

    OMGosh, I am so happy about this. I am going on vacation soon and I love Olive Garden. Thanks for sharing.

    My neurological problems are: lightheadedness, nausea, and just kind of out of it. I have to go to bed and sleep it off, like some kind of stupor. Then I am fine. In the five years that I have been gluten-free, this only happened one time and that is when I ate Quaker Oats (twice, both times I was sick). I am gluten intolerant, do not have celiac disease...

    Keep in mind that certain people just cannot digest oats. I have a gluten intolerance and cannot eat Quaker Oats, they give me terrible neurological problems. I have tried the steel cut/supposedly gluten-free oats and do not care for them. We each have to find what does and does not agree with us and oats is very controversial in the gluten-free world...

    I am gluten intolerant and tried regular oats a few weeks ago, twice, and became pretty sick. I think I may be one of those that just cannot do oats, period. I get neurological problems when I get glutened. Barbara

    Try to relax, in the scheme of things here, the amount of time will seem small when you look back on it. I think mine took a little under six weeks to come back. Isn't that what they quote? You can eat gluten-free in the meantime, you kow, get a start on feeling better. Barbara

    When they renovated my favorite Walmart in Rhinelander, Wisconsin they installed a small gluten-free section which handles Bob's Red Mill foods and also Pamela's stuff. I am thrilled. They have Glutino pretzles which are so expensive at my local store (like almost $9 for a big bag and the same bag at Walmart is $6). They also have Tinkyada pasta which...

    I am one of those people who have C instead of D. I use Truvia to help keep me regular, however, I have to be careful as to how much I use it or it can go in the wrong direction!!!! I use three packets on my cereal in the AM and then use Sun Crystals, another stevia for sweetening fruit, etc. Splenda has a lot of bad side effects, just Google it once...

    I have a gluten intolerance and eat completely gluten-free. I eat out all the time. I know what I can eat at most restaurants and when I go to a strange one the safest thing is either baked fish or a steak on the char-grill with a baked potato and salad minus croutons. I get along just fine. One of my favorite restaurants is Noodles, they gluten-free...

    Missed oatmeal so much so tried the Quaker kind and had a bad reaction, however, it was neurological rather then gastric. I was soooooooooooo sick. My friend and I know I had these neurological episodes before I went gluten-free and they completely stopped other than the oatmeal episode. It happened two times. I will never eat oatmeal again. Do try cream...

    Just an update to let you know that the metallic taste in my mouth went away after discontinuing Splenda. I wouldn't touch it ever again. I use Truvia or Sun Crystals, both of which are available at Walmart. Yes, they are more expensive, but I am worth it. I have been having terrible problems with what the doctor called "nerve headaches" and they have...

    It is C for me. When I feel I need it, I put Truvia (an artifical sweetner made from Stevia) on my cereal in the morning and it helps things along. I can't use a lot of Truvia, as then I get another probem. Other sweetners made from Stevia that don't have a chemical in them work fine for me.

    To txplowgirl.......Spenda is really bad stuff. People have had all kinds of bad reactions to it, I wouldn't touch it again. I had this mettalic taste on my tongue and when I stopped using Splenda, it went away. That is just a mild reaction, people have had much worse. Do some research on the internet, you will see.

    You could have a taco party with all the trimmings and also refried beans, spanish rice. That never ceases to be a popular one and it can all be gluten-free.

    Glad to hear there are other people with this problem. It seems to happen to me if I get glutened or if I eat a lot of things with artificial sugar, like candy that is sugar free. It is so uncomfortable that it can happen and we are out among the public.

    The first person to your request kind of said it all. I use Bob's Red Mill mix for my bread, I make two mixes at a time, and put them in eight smaller loaf pans. They seem to bake nicely in 20 minutes at 375--calls for one egg and lots of whites, I use all the egg so there are less required. If you are a Weight Watcher, if you cut each loaf in eight, they...

    My Walmart has an actual gluten-free section with Tinkyada pasta, Bob's Red Mill and Pamela's products plus Glutino crackers and pretzles........all much cheaper than anywhere else. I have always bee a big Walmart person anyway, now I love them more. My guess is they will have the Betty Crocker mixes before long too. There is a reason that they are the...

    Don't know what you consider north central, but I live in Conover which is pretty near to the Michigan border, like only 15 miles away. I am north of Eagle River. You can email me at brbrclm@yahoo.com. Barbara

    Although I still have flares occasionally, it is much better since being gluten-free and even better when I am eating a proper diet. It just occured to me when I was reading the most former post that a proper diet could make a difference as well as going gluten-free. I take Lyrica, only a smaller dosage, and that could be helping too, probably is. There...

    That was so interesting. I have been tested by Enterolab with the result that I should stay gluten-free and have the gene. I have copied off this article by Dr. Fine and am going to take it to the doctor with me the next time. I really like my internal medicine doctor, but he does look at me, at times, like I could be making this all up, but he is very...

    Another vote for Kitchen Aid. I bought mine a few years ago and if I had known how great it was, I sure would have found a way to get one much sooner. I make Bob's Red Mill bread mix/two at a time and put them in four small pans. I found that it got too hard on the outside before it was nice on the inside making it into one loaf per mix. I use all regular...

    In my opinion, I think people are LESS likely to get colds and flu if you eat strictly glute-free. I do not get as many colds or flu as when I ate gluten, and I am knocking on wood here that my theory is right. I eat much healthier now than I did before, so less likely to get sick. Also, I agree that if you were to look at them case by case, you would...
