  1. I came to the site earlier and clicked on it because it was related to why I came: I was having flare ups of the skin rash I've had since the mid-seventies, and only found out recently the rash is specific to celiac disease. Back at the computer, I did some more research on the supplements I'm taking, I started with a list of suggestions I got from...
  2. Over the last 3+ years I've had very good experiences with waitstaff being very knowledgeable about celiac in some chain and other restaurants. Some good news: I recently verified that Jack in the Box has separate fryers for breaded food and their French fries. I've had their S/W chicken salad (grilled), fries and TONS of their tacos with no ill effects...
  3. I've had some really excellent cookies since I've been on the gluten-free diet. One, from my sister had no flour at all. It was mostly cocoa and ? Another was a gluten-free ginger snap was also very good. I think the strong ginger flavor helps cover some of the off-tastes from wheat substitutes. My stand by is gluten-free Chips Ahoy. Pretty tasty but...
  4. I've had issues with depression for many years. My "new" PA treated me for 4 major symptoms of celiac for four years, and was asking if I had gone vegan after a blood test and was leaning toward B-12 injections when I happened to mention my stools were blonde. Finally the bulb lit up. Since being gluten free, I still have issues with depression. If...
  5. Fish sauce is a flavor enhancer, just as is anchovy paste. I use it often and have never had a fishy taste.
  6. Well, I'm pretty sure I know how to make pasta. Sometimes when I do, I rinse it to cool it to stop it cooking when I make extra for quick meals later. I've used pasta water in my sauce. I don't think it has any positive effect on my sauce.
  7. My grocer (WinCo) doesn't stock those CB items. I work hard to avoid Walmart.
  8. This is certainly a relief. I'd like to see a similar test on nonstick fry pans and griddles. Also the the dreaded strainer and colander. Successful avoidance is all guess work: Are my symptoms from gluten contamination or just the plain 'ole depression and inflammation I've been dealing with for the last 30 years?
  9. Hi Scott, I found the Franz gluten-free bread less than ideal flavor wise and a very short shelf-life. Since then, my (WinCo) store has offered Canyon Bakehouse gluten-free bread in Honey White and& Grain. Also gluten-free 100% whole grain Everything and Plain Bagels in the freezer case near the birthday cakes. Better flavor and seem to last very well...
  10. More on the recipe: I brown and cook the beef in a pressure cooker, then add veg into the same pot. Just now thickened the juice with Red Mill 1-to-1 gluten-free flour. I'm very pleased with the thickness and the flavor is indistinguishable from regular flour or the Wondra I used to use.
  11. I did this similar but different last week. I've been making big batches of "Asian" vegetable soup for a few months and as much as I like it, I need some more variety. Also, we buy our beef in quarters and the stew meat is a slow seller. Differences in mine from yours: I use cartons of broth, low sodium or fat free beef /chicken broth rather than...
  12. I've been doing most of the cooking around here for many years. I (used to) use a lot of packaged gravy and sauce mixes and creamy soups. There's a big chunk of my pantry gone. Was also big on Wondra quick-mixing flour for gravy. I bought "Better Than Bullion" a few years ago and found it hard to use: Sticky and apparently a melting point above lead...
