    I know I'm going to fall in love and come back because I'll never be able to see near enough. We could come over in the spring over the kid's break. We would have only six days then. We could wait until summer and stretch it to ten days. We're coming from the Smoky Mountain region, so I'm not sure I would pick mountains first. But, a volcano...

    We're considering taking a family trip out there and I'd like to hear about the best times to visit and what to see. We love nature most of all, but especially marine life. We've never been to a rocky cold beach and that's the experience we are after! We want to see tide pools! We love the mountains as well, so I'm thinking we'll barely get a taste of...

    I started being nauseated everyday about a year after I went gluten-free. It turned out to be my gallbladder. Once I had it out, the nausea went away. In nursing school we learned the four "f's" of gallbladder disease: fair, female, forty and fat. I fit almost all of those when I had mine out!

    Thanks! I'll look on NPR and see what I can find.

    Have you had a celiac panel run? I would think that is a logical step before you try to eliminate gluten. You MUST be eating gluten for this test to be accurate. If you eliminate gluten and your dr suspects celiac, you'll find yourself in a pickle if she suggests the bloodwork. Were they specifically looking for celiac during your endoscopy? If not...

    We didn't care for it at all. Not because it was bad, but it's a Northern recipe--too sweet and cakey! Cornbread is about the easiest thing in the world to make. Do you want my recipe? It's a Southern type, meaning it's savory and crumbly with a crisp and crunchy crust. There is mostly cornmeal and only a little gluten-free flour.

    And also, you don't have to give the combo vaccine. That is for convenience and avoiding extra needle sticks for the child. There is a slower, less aggressive schedule you can follow. We did that with our last two and I was much more comfortable about all of it. If you are serious, you will need to do much more research. Don't allow yourself to be...

    First off, you're going to meet a lot uninformed people in your life that happen to have degrees. It happens. Does your copy of the labwork have the reference ranges listed? If it does, and she is wrong, you might want to bypass her and see the physician with it in hand. No, you need an endoscopy. The colonoscopy can reach far enough up to...

    We bake things like that without a crust at all. I use small custard cups and a water bath to keep it tender and moist. That said, I never liked pie crust in my gluten eating days anyway so it wasn't a big change for us.

    There might be a problem with your thyroid. Has anyone ever checked it? Hair thinning and loss is a symptom. If you search on this board there are others with iron/thyroid issues. I've having iron infusions and they can't understand why mine has dramatically increased. I had a thyroid panel run last week and am awaiting the results. I've noticed...

    You should call! They are very clear about gluten issues and this is the ONLY product they have that contains it. I, too, hope they've eliminated it. I got glutened by these early on. A Russian friend makes a great bean dish and previously had made the beans from scratch. After I had eaten TWO servings, his wife was telling me how much easier it was...

    Try not to over think the first day. There are lots of naturally gluten-free meals. Breakfast- scrambled eggs, bacon and fruit Lunch-vegetable soup Dinner- baked chicken, rice and green beans Just some ideas for you. Don't buy anything in bulk until you make sure he likes it. You know kids That is fantastic about the daycare...

    That was my experience with them as well.

    I've tried a few Italian gluten-free pastas and they've all been very, very good. My husband's coworker recently brought some back for me by Farmo. I haven't tried it yet. I posted not too long ago about a place in Cleveland that sells Italian gluten-free pasta by Le Veneziane. It was much less that the other brands I've bought at only $3.99(!) for 9...

    I served the croissants for breakfast with jam this am and they were absolutely delicious! Everyone loved them. They are light and flaky and beautiful. I wonder if I rolled out two discs and then rolled them together would that increase the flakiness more? That's a technique I used in making gluten pastries before. Again, thanks for posting this. ...

    I have this dough chilling right now. Thanks for sharing! I am looking forward to these.

    If you have a Jewish community in your area, check with them. Potato starch is used a lot in Jewish cooking. I like potato starch. It seems to make things brown nicely.

    Aww, Jnbunnie! Your list is long! Make yourself some fried chicken this weekend. It's something that is just as good gluten-free. I second the croissant, though. I rarely ate those before because they seemed so horribly non-nutritious. I also second not letting your decision to go gluten-free ride on a positive endoscopy. The small intestine...

    A physician will look at your hematocrit and hemaglobin on your CBC. If they fall within normal limits, they won't look for anemia. But you can have a borderline H&H and a serum iron in the single digits. Hi, that's me. Any crisis , even minor, will cause severe symptoms. That was me as well. I had a slightly below normal H&H for years, like...

    I'm so aggravated this morning. I've been sick the last week with what I thought was a cold I couldn't shake. But the last three days my body temp, pulse and BP has been low. And, I'm feeling that deep awful fatigue again. I had been feeling much better after a series of iv iron. I was fine, just finishing up the second series and, WHAM!, all over again...

    I like their products a lot. They aren't that easy to find around here. Only one store carries a limited selection of their products.

    The millet and buckwheat I would store in the freezer. I also keep flax and bean flours in the freezer. The starches and the xanthum gum I wouldn't worry about at room temp. If you bake a lot and can keep it out of the light and down low, I wouldn't worry much at all.

    Okay, so here's what I know. Open Original Shared Link This is a yummy place that can make most things gluten-free. It's not too expensive, either. Go Nutrition is at 10961 Kingston Pike in Farragut. It's a small, privately owned store with a good selection and good prices. We have a new Pei Wei in Turkey Creek. I've never been to...

    You can get gluten-free pizza at Roman's in Knoxville. Call ahead or be prepared to wait. I'm walking out the door but I'll come back and share what I know.
