    I like Bob's Red Mill gluten-free flour mix. It seems to work in alot of different recipes and is a blend of different flours.

    Crockpots are the best, especially during the winter! I use mine twice a week. I have a 2-3 quart and a 6-7 quart model with the removable crock. If you get that kind, you can throw the crock in the dishwasher to clean. My favorite two easy recipes are chix breasts with Trader Joe's marinara sauce and a little water and mush, put that over tinkyada pasta...

    This was my first gluten-free Thanksgiving, so I brought alot of food to my mom's so that I could eat like I wanted to. I made a ten lb. organic turkey with wild rice and sausage stuffing and pumpkin bars. I used Grandma Ferdon's pumpkin bar mix-they were so good my cousins that are not gluten-free at many of them and wanted the recipe! The best part is...

    Darlinda, What does your tummy do when you have the foods that you are intolerant of? I am wondering myself about soy and tomatoes. My stomach rumbles loudly, and I have D. I do best when I eat tuna, rice toast and green, cooked veggies. Very boring! Terri

    Both of my kids have ezcema as well. Any number of these things may or may not help, but here is what we do: We only use Dove unscented soap. We only use unscented/dye free detergent/ dryer sheets. We use a water softener because the water here is very hard. When it runs out of salt, my kids break-out. When they have a bad breakout, we use a doctor-prescribed...

    Hi, What do the dairy free people use as a replacement for sweetened condensed milk? I've been Gluten-free Casein-free since April now and would like to try a little baking. One of my favorites is pumpkin pie, but I'm not sure how to get the right texture and taste w/o the dairy. Most of the recipes I have seen include the dairy. Thanks!

    Hello, How do you know that you have trouble with High oxylate foods? I've looked up a list of those foods, and would have to say my stomach is tender to many of them. Obviously I am off any gluten-containing grain, but soy was one of my first intolerances, and I've since added it back to my diet for variety. I eat peanut butter everyday, seemingly w/o problem...

    Your road to discovery sounds just like mine. I was actually a grad student when I started the lactose free diet and then went gluten free when that didn't seem to be the only problem. I was eating just a pbj on whole grain bread before class to help me get through a 3-hour class, and would be in horrible pain and my stomach would make horrible and loud noises...

    Thanks for all of the advice. I will check out the Cycle book. That sounds interesting. I am only taking a probiotic, but have a really good iron and multi I should be taking but don't. Like I said earlier, I have really tried to eliminate all possible reactors, so I was afraid to take any supplements, gluten-free or not. I think I will try the I eliminated...

    I'm supposed to be taking iron because I am anemic, but I am so afraid of upset this fragile balance of feeling well! I will go back on the iron and I have a really good multi that I should be taking as well. I do take a probiotic daily, and can really tell if I do miss that. I'll give it a shot this month and see if it helps. Thanks!

    Since diagnosis in April, I've been getting better and better, but when my period comes I get nailed with "glutened-like" symptoms: major migraine headache, the big d for days and painful gas and bloating. Does anyone have any suggestions or remedies that seem to alleviate some of the symptoms? I do have endo as well, and have been off the pill since I can...

    I'm not too far from you in Waukesha and have the same issues. I'm not sure where you go, but if you've not checked out Whole Foods or Trader Joe's, they are a must. Also for dining, Bunky's has gluten-free pizza and pasta! I've not had it the pizza yet, but want to badly! Terri

    Hi, They have it at the Pick-n-save in Pewaukee on Silvernail. I was just there on Sunday and it was there! Terri

    What an emotional rollercoaster! It is certainly up to you to do what you need to do for yourself, but I am personally in a similar situation and have decided to not go through with the biopsies because my response to the diet has been great! When I do get glutened, it is horrible and within one hour I am in the bathroom and it takes at least a week to get...

    I have had both experiences when eating out, but it seems the chain restaurants, cheaper restaurants nail me every time! My last Chili's experiences was horrific AND they have a gluten free and dairy free menu. I was scrupulous in the way that I ordered and was sick in two hours. The flip side is the really nice special occasion restaurants that have...

    I just made my second trip to Trader Joe's...yum! Since this post has made the recent board again, I'll tell you my favorites for follow-up. I've not had any cc reactions to their food, thank goodness. The basmati rice mix, banana waffles, dark chocolate covered mints (tastes just like a york peppermint patty) their soymilk, veggie and flaxseed chips...

    Unfortunately in order for your body to stay healthy you need to avoid gluten completely, which means no cheating. I am Catholic as well and haven't had the host since I've been gluten-free. Last week at church the wine was almost gone when I got there, so I didn't really get any, just tipped the cup! You won't have that problem! (: There is a gluten...

    You are not alone! First off, big hugs. I hope that you can find some time for yourself and get healthy again. I, too can't get rid of d when I am stressed or anxious. I think your body's weakest spot is compromised when stress is an issue. For me, and sounds like for you that is your gi tract. I go back to school tomorrow, so I get anxious about maintaining...

    Not sure if you canhave this, but for me goat's milk seems to be easier on my tummy. Open Original Shared Link This is the website of the ice cream that I found at my health food store. It has the same texture of regular ice cream with a little tang. Yummo!

    I'm with newB. Dairy is jsut too much of an issue for me. However, I seem to be having trouble with packaged food as well. I don't think it is gluten for me, but maybe your tummy is just taking it's time to heal, and you have developed other intolerances for the time-being. When I ate only fresh foods, I do really well. Add in packaged stuff, i don't know...

    I use 100% maple syrup. It costs a little more but is very yummy!

    I have had malabsorption due to celiac. My poo floats when I have ingested gluten and goes through me very quickly. Malabsorbtion is a symptom. Other symptoms along those lines include gas, foul-smelling stool, frequent and loose stool, distended belly, bloating....Iron sems to be one of the first nutrition deficiencies that show up as well as the b vitamins...

    Hi there, YEs the blood test could be skewed if you've not had enough gluten in your diet before the test. Especially considering your family history and you have seen positive diet results. I believe you need to consume gluten for 4-6 weeks before the test on a daily basis to be sure. I skewed my results as well, and I was only on the diet for 1 month...
