    My daughter had terrible sinus problems pre-dx and they cleared up with the diet. When she gets glutened, though, she's almost sure to get one.

    We make it occasionally without any problems. I love it mixed with buttermilk for yummy ranch dressing. That said, it does have MSG (monosodium glutamate) which is definitely NOT good for you (or anyone), and I've noticed my Celiac daughter can only tolerate small amounts of MSG without getting peripheral symptoms such as a headache or slight tummy distress...

    When we first went gluten-free at our house, I took great care to clean our non-stick pans very thoroughly. That said, the pans remained gluten free and we never put gluten in them again and had no problems. I'd be hesitant to use a pan for gluten and then wash it and expect it to be 100% gluten free when I needed it to be. I'd probably invest in a set...

    Udi's is the best. I am lucky to live in Colorado where Udi's was born and "bread" and we even have Udi's cafes here. I got a gluten-free sandwich (I don't have to eat gluten-free, my daughter does) and I had to double check that it was actually made on gluten-free bread it was THAT good. The muffins are good, too, although I still prefer the Kinnickinnick...

    How interesting that this comes up--- My daughter's 5th grade teacher had something called oral allergy syndrome and her mouth would burn when she ate raw fruits and vegetables. Cooked--fine. Raw--bad news.

    My kiddo took about a year to be really back on track with growth. I think it's a misnomer that they start sprouting up right away with the diet. It takes a while for all that other stuff to heal. My daughter was diagnosed at 9. She was never below the 50th percentile for height or weight--but she was definitely not growing as well as she should have been...

    I would simply tell friends that you're still really new to the diet and you feel safest when you eat food that you've prepared yourself. Let them know that you appreciate the offer and once you feel you have the diet under control, you'll feel more confident in explaining the proper cooking methods for you. You're SO new to eating and preparing food...

    Nice. It musta been an old batch. I think it was right around Halloween when I found some decent gluten-free hot dog buns and remember checking out Nathans and seeing wheat. We went to Aruba shortly after that and for some reason Nathans is the popular hot dog down there and those dogs all had wheat, too. (As a side note, Aruba is one of the best places on...

    RR seasoning is not safe. The ingredients on the container "look" safe, but the gluten-free menu advises against the seasoning. My hubby and daughter get bunless bacon cheeseburgers w/out seasoning and unseasoned fries at RR fairly regularly and do not have problems, and daughter is particularly sensitve

    I think Nathan's still have gluten..I checked a few months ago.

    Here's my two cents: 1. Make sure he keeps eating gluten throughout the entire diagnosis process. 2. There's no such thing as "mild" celiac. You either have it or you don't (not to say there's no such thing as gluten intolerance). What I am meaning to say is, any diagnosis of Celiac means following the gluten-free diet for life. 3. I forget the...

    I think there was a time before the era of better labeling where lunch meats could be of concern. I honestly don't think I have ever seen gluten in a lunch meat (meatballs or speciality sausage perhaps), but never in lunch meat.

    Family of 4 here, and we're at about $300 per week. What you spend on groceries is your business. You deserve lots of yarn.

    UDIs: Open Original Shared Link (sandwiches, pizza, fries) Beau Jo's: Open Original Shared Link (gluten free pizza) Noodles: Open Original Shared Link (pasta--you can have rice noodles with many of the dishes or the pad thai which is gluten free as-is) Garlic Jim's: Open Original Shared Link Maggianos: Open Original Shared Link (pricey, but worth...

    I've found most packaged lunch meats to be safe. I'm not quite sure why they got a bad rap. We buy Oscar Mayer bologna and have no problems. We normal get Hormel Natural Selections lunch meats because they don't have nitrates/nitrites, but that has nothing to do with gluten. Most deli-cut meats we avoid because of the potential for cross contamination...

    How long will you be here and where are you staying? It will be easier to give suggestions if I know where you are. It's very easy to eat gluten free, affordably in the Denver area. Udis is a must, no matter what end of town you're on. There are pizza and pasta options around town, in addition to the chains.

    That's the best news I've heard all week!

    A wheat allergy is different from celiac disease or gluten intolerance. She could still have problems with gluten even after testing negative for a wheat allergy. Perhaps someone could post the blood tests to request from a doctor for the celiac panel? I always forget what they are.

    As far as I know ryegrass is fine and it is not rye, the grain.

    Hubby switched to drinking Strong Bow cider instead of the gluten-free beers. He found them more palatable than trying to think gluten-free beer is the same as standard beer.

    Tocopherol and Tocopheral Acetate can sometimes contain wheat. We usually call if we see that ingredient to see if it was sourced from wheat.

    I had raw, organic pumpkin seeds the other day as a snack. Packed full of fiber!

    I think there is a small market and use for folks to help other folks transition to the gluten-free diet. I'm pretty resourceful, so I probably wouldn't have done it. However, where I think the real niche is, and would bring the biggest benefit to those following the gluten-free lifestyle, is working with restaurants, food manufacturers, even health care...

    I forgot to add that it took about 6 months for the pains to go away. While her tummy symptoms cleared up immediately with the help of gluten free, the itchies and rash and tinglies and "growing pains" took a bit longer.
