ARCHIVED Share Your Diagnosis Story!
Kellygirl replied to MallysMama's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Hi, My Name is Kelly, I was officially diagnosed with this disease in April of this year when my biopsy came back saying positive for Celiac. If you want to know more about my history you can e-mail me and I will give you the full scoop. As far as your answers go I can probably help you out. I am a vegetarian and my one Nephew has a severe peanut allergy... -

ARCHIVED Millet
Kellygirl replied to debmidge's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Hi, I love Millet, I am a vegetarian so I need the protein from Millet. I tried just veggies but I wasn't getting everything I needed. I make lots of casseroles and find Millet to work well in these casserole instead of a cream base soup or milk I use a veggie cube and millets. My latest creation is actually pretty good, the original recipe came... -
ARCHIVED Smoking And Celiac Disease
Kellygirl replied to Kellygirl's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
OK glad to know that my question wasn't a stupid one. I do find it strange that I was sicker when I smoked. Maybe because I only ate granola bars, macaroni and cheese and drank black coffee. Who knows my body is a strange machine. I am very routine now though and Dave I will definately check out your recipies. I am an Irish Gal so I am sure I will... -
ARCHIVED Best Baking Yet
Kellygirl replied to Kellygirl's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I wouldn't substitute a starch for a flour. You could probably just add the rice flour instead of the corn flour or even potato flour or extra sorghum flour. You could also use millet flour or soy flour. I wouldn't use a starch though. Just my opinion. Kelly -
ARCHIVED Smoking And Celiac Disease
Kellygirl posted a topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Another weird question... Does anyone here Smoke? Has anyone given up smoking and felt better with their diet? Only reason I ask is because if I am to look at pictures of myself last February I look like I am anorexic. I quit smoking last April and put on about 7 pounds and didn't looks so sick. Now that I am eating properly I look amazing compared... -
ARCHIVED Need Corn Meal
Kellygirl replied to a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
OMG Thanks for the heads up about Bob's Red Mill. My nephew has a severe peanut allergy. I make corn bread muffins all the time and he eats them like they are cookies. There is NO - may contain traces or nuts on the label. The only ingredients listed are 100% whole grain corn. It NEVER occured to me that traces of nuts could be in 100% CORN. I... -
ARCHIVED Ranch Dressings
Kellygirl replied to candi1008's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Anyone use Hidden Valley? I'd also love to be able to go back to the good stuff, especially the packets. If you can find Kraft Buttermilk Ranch, it reminds me of Hidden Valley. Nancy -
Just needed to share my success with everyone. I have been trying for muffins that are light and fluffy, not gritty and not lacking in taste. I have made batch after batch after batch and just didn't get any satisfaction. Today I decided to make healthy fruit muffins for my nephews. I used regular flour for the ones I made the kids. They smelled so good...

ARCHIVED Bobs Red Mill Bread Mixes
Kellygirl replied to Samanthasmomma's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Says right on the bag of the cornbread mix to store mix in refridgerator after opening. At least my package does. I really don't find it makes much of a difference though, they are still crumbling, I was going to add a little extra xantham gum to my next batch see if it makes a difference or maybe some honey. Will let you know after this weekend. I do... -
ARCHIVED Cheese
Kellygirl replied to Nic's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Hi, I have severe lactose intolerance but for some reason can eat extra old cheddar. Talked to my doctor and he said it has something to do with the age and the amount of bacteria that balances it and doesn't affect me. Just thought I'd share, I can't eat a big chunk but a little in my salad and I am fine. Kelly -
ARCHIVED I'm Going To Give Up Eating
Kellygirl replied to isiskingdom's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
This little bit of info might not make you happy but it is something to know. I notice you had your gall bladder out! Both my mother and my sister did also, I thank goodness haven't had to go through that. My sister experienced severe pain, like a gal bladder attack for about a year after she had it removed. My mother found that she cannot eat peppers... -
ARCHIVED Daily Eating Habits
Kellygirl replied to TrillumHunter's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I've cut out bread all together except for 2 recipes 1 - is for cornbread and I make it as muffins and they are great for breakfast or to go with a salad at lunch or to go with soup at dinner time. 2 - I make a batch of muffins every two weeks, sometimes I add blueberries, but I just used raspberries in the current batch and am really quite pleased... -
ARCHIVED New To gluten-free With Questions
Kellygirl replied to stephanie19's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I agree you will get worse before you get better. My bloated marshmellow body also agrees with this statement. It is almost like my body is rebelling against the diet, my body is mad and it is acting out. I will stick with it and endure the bloating abdominal area and the pimple and the numb hands when I go to bed because despite all of that, I am off... -
ARCHIVED Torn Between Job And Job Opportunity
Kellygirl replied to francelajoie's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Take the full time job and run with it, make lots of cash who cares about flexibility. In the long run you will be able to collect more money while you are off having the child. Plus once you have kids there is no such thing as flexability for you, your child will dictate that part of your life. Good luck and do what you think is right! Kelly -
Nancy, Is changing body wash and make-up and all that jazz really necessary. I don't were lipstick and my hair never enters my mouth. Is this a think a person should consider if they don't feel better or is this standard practice. I haven't changed my body care routine at all, never really gave it a second thought. I also bake regular stuff for my...

OK Lisa Now I understand what a blue moon is. Thanks for the insight! By the way I think you are all hylarious. Enjoy your mints! Kelly

[Maybe once I master pizza I will head into the world of pasta, for now I will just stare daggers across the street waiting forthe day she says "but my lasagne isn't as good as yours what am I doing wrong" it pays to be taught by an italian!

Well that will at least explain my behaviour for May anyway. Thanks for the excuse - no really I think I am naturally a little moody. According to my reading this will get better when I find a balance in my diet. I think it gets worse with me because I am obsessive compulsive. For 3 years or more everyday was 2 raspberry waffles with 2 tbsp of...

OK I have been cranky and a little bitter, so fill me in on what the Heck a blue moon is, I know what a full moon is. If I am going to use this as an excuse with family and friends I need to sound smart about it so fill me in. I'm from Canada too and we get big moons out here.

ARCHIVED Biting Inside Of My Cheeks
Kellygirl replied to mamaloca2's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Yep I am obsessive complusive and I do it all the time, even while sleeping. I am celiac too, but I never really questioned if they go together or not! Kelly -

ARCHIVED Trix Cereal -
Kellygirl replied to Run-4-Jesus's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I will have to find out what web site my mother was looking at but she found out that Little Einsteins, Dora the explorer, Trix and some other mickey mouse cereal are all gluten free. They are all made by the same company. I have been eating the stuff like crazy. Trix Marshmellow balls are great as are peanutbutter dora the explorer snacks, also made with... -
ARCHIVED Wow, Could This Be True?
Kellygirl replied to Pacer's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Makes a lot of sense to me. My younger sister and I lived together up until this past year. She is a single mother - father just walked out. I helped her raise him for the first 3 years. He was always so sick when we look back now, but at the time we didn't really notice how sick he really was. We both beat ourselves for it but he is healthy now... -
