    Yes, mine is painful when I'm intestinally "sick" - leaky gut. When I'm not sick though, it's not painful at all, it's just there. I've been leaning towards the more flowy tops now too. It's so frustrating because my entire wardrobe has had to change in order for me to be comfortable. I hope that someone can provide some hope for us! Emily

    Has anyone had the "celiac belly" and gotten rid of it? By celiac belly I mean the stomach that expands/distends more and more as the day goes on. So you have to by larger pants in order to fit into them by the end of the day. Anyway, I've been gluten free about 10 months and have still not gotten rid of this. My antibody levels are going down (ttg/iga 5...

    Thanks for the tip! I'll have to try that. Thanks also for mentioning the cooking time adjustment for the different pan sizes. I wouldn't have thought of that. Happy baking! Emily

    Here's the pasta recipe! ~1 lb shrimp (tails off and de-veined) (Crawfish are supposed to be added too, but I can never find them in VA) 1 stick butter 1.5 cups heavy cream

    Being a celiac who loves bread, I think there is nothing worse than going to restaurant and not being able to eat the bread that they bring out at the beginning. After going to Outback the other day I became determined to satisfy my craving for their bread. This is what I came up with! (I also copied my favorite dish - Toowoomba Pasta - if anyone is interested...

    Supposedly, tannins are in chocolate, red wine, some cheeses, some ice creams, "caffeine," beans, nuts, cinnamon, bananas, smoked foods, cigarette smoke, some sour creams, and fermented foods and some herbs. Here is the website I found this at (it is for people w/migranes, but still discusses tannins) - Open Original Shared Link. The main ones were ...

    I just called Ocean Spray and the woman assured me that craisens (even the big bags from costco) are produced in an entirely gluten free facility. So this got me thinking... maybe it has something to do with the cranberries themselves. I found out that cranberries have tannins in them and so does red wine (which I like to drink a lot of) and excessive intake...

    Me too! Thanks for posting, I'm glad to hear that I'm not alone on this one. Did you happen to buy a big bag of them from Costco?

    I've been getting sicker and sicker for the last 3 weeks and I can't figure out what is causing it. The only thing I can think of is the craisins or the Diamond walnuts I have been putting in these muffins I have been baking for breakfast. Both appear to be gluten free based on previous posts and the company website, but I thought I would just find out if...

    I have had a lot of luck with this recipe Open Original Shared Link. It is called Gluten-Free Flax Bread. It's not exactly a white bread, but it's definitely the best one that I've tried. I've made some white breads, but the texture is not as soft. I don't have a bread machine so I don't know how it would work with one. I would recommend making it by hand...

    Yes, I would say so. I don't have anything to compare it to since it's my first one, but I can say that when I pureed a cabbage/potato/broccoli soup it did very well. Blended it right up into a smooth creamy soup! There are multiple speed settings so I can use less power on easier jobs like smoothies and more power on the veggies and such. It seems to be...

    Okay, I wanted to report back on what I ended up getting. I got a Cuisinart Blender/Food Processor Duo and a KitchenAid Immersion Blender. I am VERY happy with both products. The Food processor is only about 2 cups, but I really don't need it for much more than that very often. If I do it's just something like shredded potatoes and I can empty it out once...
  13. Emily Elizabeth
    Thanks everyone for your responses! I'll let you know what I end up getting and how they work!
  14. Emily Elizabeth
    My KitchenAid blender died after 5 years so I thought I would ask what blender you use for our type of cooking. I would like to be able to grind up almonds and make almond meal and flour (probably need something else for that?) and also do the regular icy/smoothie things with it. I am also going to get an immersion blender for pureeing soups and pumpkin...

    Don't you love it when you find something last minute and it turns out great! I'm going to go with your method the next time I make stuffing. I'll dry it out and then just toast it very slightly. Thanks for sharing!
  16. Emily Elizabeth
    Yes! I love pumpkin! I still have some left from halloween (frozen of course) so we'll see what other things come out of it...
  17. Emily Elizabeth
    Oh my gosh yes! It was incredibly easy and they loved it! It looked fancy too in the margarita glasses. I love it when I make something that is easy, inexpensive and looks like its gourmet! I also can't stand to see things go to waste so it's great when I can get them eaten up without having to force them on people!

    Me too! It has been an exciting challenge to learn to cook things that I used to eat (pizza, pancakes, pie crust, bread) gluten free. Of course if I was "glutened" right now, it wouldn't be an exciting challenge, but a horrible disaster. It's all about whether or not we are feeling well I think. Anyway, I wanted to let you know that I discovered Bob's Red...

    I just thought I would post this since it was a success in my household. We had leftover pumpkin pie and flan in the house from thanksgiving that just wasn't getting eaten so I decided to reinvent it for dessert tonight (inspired by the food network). I'm sure it would work with just pumpkin pie by itself too. My husband and his house guest ate this up very...

    That's good to know! I usually gravitate towards sugar and then that makes me feel worse of course (stomach bloating/gas). I normally don't drink energy drinks, but it sounds like it might do the trick if I'm glutened. Thanks for the tip!
  21. Emily Elizabeth
    It sounds like the crockpot is the way to go with gluten free stuffing. I also think we probably don't need to toast the bread before hand? Maybe just dry it out for a few days. What do you do?
  22. Emily Elizabeth
    I have reacted to both Tostitos Chips and Tostitos Salsa before. I stopped eating them and started making my own chips from corn tortillas and just eat homemade salsa. I totally know what you mean! If we're going to have to go through the pain, we should at least be able to enjoy the gluten!

    I have definitely changed shape after going gluten free. After I eat, I almost always have the distended belly, unless I eat like a bird. The worst of it is that my bust is down a whole cup size and my waist and hips are actually larger than they used to be by an inch or two! SO frustrating! I almost want to go back to eating gluten just to get my body back...
  24. Emily Elizabeth
    I'm curious if you found out if the Tysons Polka Kielbasa Sausage was gluten free?
  25. Emily Elizabeth
    Yum! Thanks for posting this! Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day. It sounds like a nice quick way to have something a little different. I just bought bacon the other day too! This is perfect! I wonder if adding stuffing to the mix would be any good? I have a lot of that leftover! I plan on putting it in a meatloaf, but I know I will still have plenty...
