    Oh, man, I tried regular Quaker Oatmeal a while ago and did I ever get sick. I like the BRM oats okay, but they take a long time to cook. I decided maybe just to be oat free to be safe. I am gluten intolerant and can get away with some French fries that have been cooked with other things and low risk stuff like that if I don't do it often, so was surprised...

    For me, it was a fibro diagnosis first and six months later going gluten-free. I think I am doing as well as I am (not great, but good......have flares when I overdo it and get too tired) because of the gluten-free. I also have a thyroid problem. I was on 200 mg. Topomax so I didn't get migraines and have gone completely off that and no headaches. I have...

    My symptoms are different as they are neuological. I get light headed, dizzy, and so sick to my stomach (without throwing up) that I just have to go to bed and sleep it off, kind of like a stupor. I cannot hold my head up. Then I feel lousy for the next day. It just happened to me recently when I had regular oatmeal (which tasted so good, darn). My reactions...

    When I did mine, they said up to six weeks before results and mine came in sooner. It was worth the wait as it revealed that I had the gene, we wondered where my granddaughter had gotten the celiac disease, it was me. Darn. She has been gluten-free for ten years now, and I am gluten-free for five years now (intolerant/sensitive). Barbara

    There are, I think, those of use that just can't eat oats, too. I think I am one of them. It is specially interesting as I am gluten intolerant/not celiac. I just don't do oats either and feel much better.

    BRM is a hit with me. Tastes gread, smells like Heaven coming out of the oven. Bread is a big thing to me, and I will not go without it. I am on Weight Watchers and have figured out that when you make a single batch of BRM bread and put is in four small pans, cut each in eight, it is 2 points each. I don't think a day goes by that I don't have a couple...

    I am using BRM bread mix as my main bread. I LOVE it, smells glorious coming out of the over. I LOVE bread, it means a lot to me to have good bread. I even make little pizzas with the bread, toasting it first and then putting spaghetti sauce on it and then mozzarella cheese/under the broiler. Not like Pizza Hut, but also safe!!!!! The BRM brownie mix...

    Not too crazy about the person that wrote "celiac or JUST g intolerance". Doesn't make much difference as those of us who are JUST g intolerant have to eat the same way as the celiac people, only thing is, ours got caught before there was damage. I eat the same foods that celiac people do as I don't want to become one or get sick (actually I do get sick...

    If you order a steak grlled on the charcoal or baked fish and a baked potato, with a salad/no croutons, you can't go wrong. I eat at restaurants all the time, with ease. Like at Applebees, I order the salmon, no sauce, it comes with rice and a veggie. At Noodles I order the buttered rice noodles with chicken and veggies. At Wendy's I have a baked potato...

    Actually I knew there was a chance that the regular oatmeal could be contaminated, but as I am not celiac (or I don't think I am)----am gluten intolerant or sensitive, I just thought maybe I could get away with it. WRONG. Now I know. I do have the steel cut oats from Bob's Red Mill, but they take so long to cook and are not smooth like Quaker.

    I make the bread according to package directions, however, it calls for so many egg whites which are very expensive, I just do all eggs. I don't know why you could screw it up, I do have a Kitchen Aid mixer that I make it on. It has to beat for three minutes total. I can do that (with a Kitchen Aid or something like it) and oil my pans or do whatever...

    Another place that has dedicated fryers (of course we check each one when we go there) is Culvers. I LOVE their food. Their custard (vanilla and chocolate) is gluten-free also. If there is one by you, you must try it. Barbara

    WOW...is this ever interesting. I would not call what I get panic attacks, however, I get what we are now calling "episodes", as I get lightheaded, sick to my stomach, dizzy and cannot stand up, I have to go to bed and sleep it off, it is kind of like a stupor. When I wake up, then I am fine or on my way to it, need a little time to recover. My friend...

    Bob's Red Mill Bread made the right way is heavenly and much better than that Energy crap that tastes like celing tiles. To each their own, I guess. I use Bob's Red Mill all purpose flour in cookies/baking, making a few adjustments and no can tell that my cookies are gluten-free. It is on my shelf and I use it for white sauce, gravies, everything. Now...

    It's all about time and research............I LOVE the bread that I eat as bread is one of my favorite things. ALL gluten-free bread does not suck. I use Bob's Red Mill bread mix, make two at a time, use four small loaf pans per bread mix, and the smell when they come out of the oven is exquisite. I cut them in eight pieces each and they serve as my only...

    Last Thursday and this Tuesday, I tried regular oatmeal and it tasted so good with a little brown sugar and milk. However, I was so sick on Saturday night and last night which for me is extreme nausea, light headedness, and exaustion so bad that I could not stand up, I had to go to bed. I used to have these incidents before going gluten-free five years...

    There is a restaurant in downtown Raleigh that cooks only gluten-free food. I went to an open house there one of the last times I was visitng there. The food was fantastic, actually it is a take out place where you call ahead and they prepare the foods for you to take home with you. It is very gourmet and can be expensive, but it sure is worth checking...

    You may be subconsienciously rebelling against your mom and her "kitchen is closed after dinner" rule and going there just to spite her. I know my friend and I (who are in our sixties now) had very controlling moms and we have talked about the fact that we still could be rebelling against our moms when we overeat (the pattern was formed so long ago). We...

    Found out why the Truvia gave me the uncontrollable "D".....it has some of that horrible stuff that ends in "ose" that is aritificial. It starts with e and I checked with my health food store and the gal there said that was the problem. Truvia is not totally just Stevia. I bought another one that is just Stevia and a little plain sugar that is only 5 calories...

    What was your reaction to stevia.....I got a serious case of the "D" from it, I think. Barbara
  21. sixtytwo
    Because of the horrible reaction people are getting to Splenda and because I want to stay away from the other artificial sweetners, I got some stevia from Walmart, Truvia............it gave me the worst diarrhea. I know it must be that as I didn't change my eating habits at all other than that. I think Splenda gave me the metalliac taste in the mouth that...

    I am doing Weight Watchers and gluten free and have no trouble at all. I think that is the same as watching my calories. I just seem to always do better on WW, doing the online version now, more convenient. As I have been doing cooking gluten-free for about five years now and don't find it too hard. I used Bob's Red Mill Bread Mix and make it in four...

    How interesting that you should reserrect this thread. I was a frequent poster on it as Guest barbara....but now am back on as sixtytwo. That was in 2004 and now it is 2009, lots of time gone by. I have recently been having some headache trouble which I thought was migraines and really it ended up being "nerve headaches" according to the doc. He thinks...

    So............I think you made the ultimate test and passed it. If you think you need to go through the testing, then go ahead and eat all of the gluten, but what difference will it make. You know the answer already. You have celiac disease and should not eat gluten. Do you need the GI doctor to tell you what you already know? I have only a gluten intolerance...

    For the hot chocolate use real milk, real cocoa and sugar or sugar substitute. It is delicious. Hershey's cocoa is gluten-free. Barbara
