    As a health professional, this sickens me. I am sorry this happened to you. He was completely out of line with that comment.

    No need for to wait to talk to a priest. You can go online and read what the Church teaches in the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Straight from the horse's mouth and more reliable than wikipedia. You can search transubstantiation and you'll get all the listings about it.

    K8ling, I'd like to share some thoughts and solutions with you privately. Would that be okay? I am a catechist and have many resources at hand.

    It is truly the living Body of Christ. It retains the elements of the bread that is used. It's a miracle and not bound by 21st century logic. K8ling your priest doesn't have the authority to make that kind of decision and could face serious repercussions from this. Very sad that there is so little understanding.

    I bought the cupcake ones for my kids and they thought they were super-sweet and tasted funny. I actually threw them out--which I rarely do. BUT--they do smell exactly like bakery cupcakes and you are pg, so they may hit the spot for you! Once I watched my dh eat a whole box of Cocoa Pebbles in a sitting on a dare. We were younger then...

    Gelatin is a natural substance that forms when animal bones are boiled. Every time you eat a pot roast, roasted chicken or even anything made with broth, you are consuming gelatin in varying quantities. I'm not saying there isn't something bothering you, but I wouldn't be too quick to point to gelatin. Chicken feet, by the way, made the richest...

    GO! GO! GO! If you were my kid, that's what I'd tell you. Eating plain rice and vegetables would hurt you at all for just one month. You can work it out. Don't let fear guide your decisions. Educate yourself and GO!

    It is very gradual. I noticed recently that after three years of gluten-free life, I haven't had a bathroom issue in a long time. I go, I'm done, I don't think about it again. The ridges in my nails are almost completely gone. My face has a shape now. I don't look like a blob in pictures. Lots of small things that have become consistently better and...

    Dip your Glutino pretzels in it. mmmmm!

    I have thought of that, too. I remember leaving the drs office SO FREAKING GLAD that something so simple was what made me sick for so long. I would have had an everything bagel from my local bakery, but oh well.

    I'll give it another try. I didn't care for it before because it was too sweet. Green's I had to pitch--painfully because it was $8!

    Potato starch is a fine sub for tapioca. I like Irish Dave's recipe BUT I always let it rise overnight in the fridge. It makes a much better dough for me. I coat with olive oil and put in a big bowl. I take it out and let it warm for a half hour. I use parchment to roll it out on and spray it with olive oil--like Pam. It's not sticky and it's not all...

    I've been having them for a while now. Iron injections aren't too common here in the US anymore. Before every infusion, they gave me two Tylenol and two Benadryl. The first one I had was iron dextran and I had a reaction. I started itching and they stopped it and gave me more Benadryl. It was fine, the reaction stopped, but I had to have a different...

    Unless you are really underweight, don't worry about the first trimester. Make sure you take your prenatal and whatever helps it get down and stay down. I ate a lot of Skittles with my first child and he came out fine. It can be difficult, but drink all you can. Being dehydrated can make the nausea so much worse, not to mention constipation. Best wishes...

    This looks so good! I'll be making it this week, too.
  16. TrillumHunter
    Do whatever you need to take care of yourself. Prayers for your tonight. I'm sorry for your loss.

    Sounds like it to me. And even sterilization methods have a failure rate. I hope you are pregnant too!

    I'm glad awareness of the this low gluten host is spreading. I hope it encourages other people with celiac to start talking to their pastors and dialoging about what communion means and the different ways we can receive. Change comes very slowly sometimes.

    I'd say no the Lucky Charms. I understand the craving as that's one of my guilty faves I held onto from childhood, too. But, it's all about the marshmallows and we can have those! My mil buys big bags of those dehydrated marshmallows from a bulk style Amish store. Put them on some Rice Chex and it's a good substitute.

    Muffins are a great idea--spread with peanut butter and you can have a pretty filling and nutritious snack. You've gotten lots of good ideas for freezing, but may I recommend a crockpot? Toss it in and it cooks itself. There is even a book and blog about crockpot cooking that is gluten free. One other thing--I was starving when I nursed. At 2:30 I felt...

    Yep, that's how it always goes when McD's is mentioned. If it's about driving through and picking up fries--well, the only place I would trust is Chick-fil-a. Although tasty, their fries are nothing like McD's. I can't think of a safe place to drive thru and pick up fries like McD's. I like those other places fries, but they are different. Maybe...

    It's weird how this all works. Now that I've been gluten-free for a few years my reactions have changed. Early in, I got all the classic symptoms of celiac with just a cross contamination. But I figured out this summer that I get a rash on my scalp and nothing else when I get trace amounts. My guess is it's DH, but I can't really see it because I have...

    Adhesions from previous surgeries caused that for me.

    Pacific makes a cream of chicken and cream of mushroom. They tasted like the old Campbell's stuff to me, but I was never a big fan of "cream of" dishes. We had crockpot eggplant parmesan today for lunch and, even though I cooked it , it was FANTASTIC! Korean ribs are a favorite. Tacos and all their variations. Rice and beans--so good...

    ARCHIVED Dim Sum

    TrillumHunter replied to knomad's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    I don't know about the dim sum, but I want to encourage you to stay strictly on the diet! I don't understand why they say you don't have symptoms! You have anemia and visible damage to your intestinal wall. Those are symptoms of celiac. Good luck and I hope you find some dim sum to enjoy!
