    I'm sure there are lots of people who feel better off processed foods, but that's not nearly good enough for a Celiac. Whole grain wheat bread is poison for a Celiac... no exaggeration. But that doesn't mean you can't eat whole grains other than WBRO. You've got to look outside the bread box. Okay, that was a little lame, but... There are a lot...

    Yup. They're in with all the other baking mixes. I think they've carried them for longer than I realized. It was only after I read here that some Wal-marts carry GFP mixes, that I purposefully looked for them. And there they were! One of the Wal-marts I go to also carries soy flour (which I don't use) and Hodgeson Mills Flax Meal- which I use frequently....

    Gawd Amanda, how scary with the near collision!!! Thank goodness you're ok. Be careful about the shower. Heat can help break up mucous, but steam can be VERY difficult to breathe when you are so inflamed. It can be very easy to become dizzy or black out. Good on John for helping you out!

    Both Wal-marts I go to (Winston-Salem and Mt. Airy, NC) carry basic DeBoles pasta- elbow macaroni, spirals and spaghetti. I'm not crazy about DeBoles, but it takes only takes 1/2 hour to get to Wal-mart and at least an hour to Whole Foods for my Tinkyada. They both also carry Gluten Free Pantry muffin mix and brownie mix- which I'm thrilled with. I...

    Thanks everybody. Today was a nice, laid back, quiet day. The boys both have colds, and they actually took a nap today!!! I literally cannot remember the last time these two took naps. So I had a quiet afternoon. I did a little writing... I'm thinking about starting a blog. I've thought about it before, I'm just not sure I'll stick with it.

    Well, I was gonna say "Sorry I've been MIA," but I see the board was down for a day, so... I'm glad I didn't try to get on. If I'd tried and been unable, that probably would have put me in a tale spin- it's been that kind of time. Not been doing so well on the Effexor Withdrawal Front. A brand new rash in brand new places... so far this one isn't quite...

    Crap! I keep losing my quotes! Where are they going?! Is there a quote abyss that they randomly fall into, just to mess with people?! Anyhoo... Bev! I'm so sorry about the bathroom marathon! I thought my reaction was easing back... then almost barphed in Food Lion yesterday evening. Gawd... makes me scared of even leaving the house. Switching...

    Got some good news today! My mom had a chest x-ray yesterday, and already got the results today-- it looked clear! This is amazing, because something like 95%+ of Sarcoidosis patients have lesions on the lungs. She's apparently one of that tiny percentage that doesn't. She still needs to have her eyes checked out, and possibly an EKG... but this is...

    Did I ever tell you guys... I was late for my own wedding? Because- get this- I was in the bathroom taping these circle thingies on my boobs. It may actually have been duct tape. My wedding planner was my mom's best friend, and she (best friend) kept saying, "Hurry up, hurry up!" Finally my mom took her aside and said, "LOOK... it's not like they're...

    What a fantastic idea!! Thanks for sharing!

    Thank you so much, everyone!!! Jess, what a stash! Thanks. I usually buy the Gluten-Free Pantry mix, too. They're awesome. I wasn't sure if they were casein-free; I don't have a box in the cupboard at the moment. So that's good to know! If anyone has more, keep them coming!

    I'm hunting brownie recipes! I need dairy-free ones that call for cocoa, not a hunk of chocolate. I know there's dairy-free hunk-of-chocolate options out there, but I'd prefer to use cocoa, which is cheaper- and I can make up mixes ahead of time. If your recipe includes chocolate chips, do post it. I plan on picking up some Enjoy Life chocolate chips...

    Caster sugar is a little more fine than our regular granulated sugar, but regular granulated white sugar works fine in an equal amount in most things. I use Open Original Shared Link all the time- it's a great resource! Click on Cooking and it's easy to convert any measurement.

    Well, I got all excited seeing Holly Springs at first... There is a little town called Holly Springs that's just a hop, skip, and a jump from us- We live in Pilot Mountain/Pinnacle. I have two boys, ages 5 and 7. But then I remembered there's a bigger town called Holly Springs down near Raleigh. I bet that's the one you're referring to... Oh well. There are...

    Busted... out of a sound sleep, bolting for the bathroom... appalling... I'll spare you the details... Still hoping Luke will be ok... All he really did was give the edge of his pizza a little lick. <fingers crossed> Gah...

    They were quite good! ...unlike the Gluten-free Casein-free pizza I made tonight. <shudder> That "cheese" was horrid. I guess I got the wrong kind, because I know we've had some over at Mom's house that wasn't too bad at all. Worst of all, when it came out the oven looking like baby spit-up, I looked at the package again to see if I had missed some...

    Kassandra!!! I see you reading! Are you out of the hospital? Hope you're doing well!

    And the lemon tarts! :drool: Nikki!!! :lol: It's your commentary that's so fab! The science guy at the library today was a MAD Scientist!!! He was hilarious, and at the end, he said, "So! Science is BORING, RIGHT???" All those kids screamed "NO!" so loudly, it rattled the windows. Mommy is pleased. I made dairy-free corn dogs for...

    Thank you for all the support and suggestions, you guys!!! Jess, you made me tear up again! Will reply in more detail later... Trying to get the boys to the library today, if at all possible. They're having a science guy to talk to the kids today. Will check in later! (((HUGS!!!)))

    Hi Jin! I try to pop in (or poop in, as we often say on the Silly planet) every once in awhile. How have you been? I've been going through some supremely yucky stuff the past few weeks - withdrawal from an old med. But I'm hangin' in there. A hot debate, for sure, but good points made on all sides, I think. Just saw Carla's post about...
  23. Ridgewalker
    OH MY GOSH!!! I just went to your blog to see the pics... Can I just say YUM?! I'm drooling over the pictures!!! Makes me want to immediately run out and buy a tart pan so I can try this! I also saw the pic of the boy (your son, I assume?) with the Coke can... gave me an out-loud guffaw. I needed that tonight.

    Ugh... I've been going over and over some stuff in my head and I have to write it out, so... rambling ahead! Well... 1:30am here. Luke's up. This has been happening more and more frequently- He sleeps for a few hours and then wakes up sometime between 12 and 2. Every time this happens, he wakes up completely and just says he's not sleepy anymore. I have...
