    You got a lot of native lizards in Kansas?

    We LOVE Five Guys . . . the first time we ordered and I said that my daughter needed a bunless burger, he asked if it was an allergy. We said yes (as the easy way to answer) and he yelled out "allergy" when he called back her order. They changed gloves. Now we just order "bunless because of an allergy". Fries are fantastic but here is a hint . . ...

    I would have to say that I would not be confident in that answer either. Low gluten is not the same as gluten free. I would come prepared with food to supplement whatever you can find that is safe in the cafateria. If you have time for another round of emailing, I would ask what kind of packaged food do they have that might be safe for you (just so you...

    This is what we do . . . all baking and cooking is gluten free. However, we are not a gluten free household. I buy regular gluten bread and cereal and snack crackers, etc for the gluten eaters. We take precations against cross contamination. Sleepovers have not been a problem. At this point, my daughter has been gluten free for 4 1/2 years. Her...

    WooHoo!!! You go, girl!!! Your positive attitude is inspiring!!! My brother heard blondes have more fun and gave it a try . . . turned his hair orange . . . not quite the same.

    Wow . . . you just keep mentioning things on my "to do" list. My SIL got my daughter some counted cross stitch kits for Christmas. That was something I never learned. Mom didn't pick it up until after I left home and Grandma never took it up (these are the two ladies that taught me any needle craft). Mom passed away a couple of years ago and going through...

    For what it's worth . . . we drive 2 hours to see a pediatric GI because the local one is an a$$ who tells me things couldn't happen that I saw with my own eyes (a gluten reaction within an hour of eating). You see, Celiacs don't react that quickly . . . it couldn't have been gluten. He's not the doc that initially diagnosed her so he's not actually convinced...

    My daughter takes them when her stomach feels a little iffy. They seem to help her. She takes American Health Chewable Super Papaya Enzyme Plus. We get them at Whole Foods. (No Gluten, No Yeast, No Milk or Derivatives, No Egg, No Soy . . . some others but those are the biggies). She has tried the antacids in the same situation and they don't seem...

    . . . and since you're feeding that Croatian's chickens, maybe you can get a couple of fresh eggs every now and then. This thread sounds vaguely New Year's Resolution-ish . . . so that's what I'll list . . . I also have on my list not to waste so much food . . . this includes the produce that I don't get around to using and the leftovers...

    Well, I'm late to the party but wanted to wish you all a Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays. Just got back from Florida tonight (Christmas at my MIL's). Our drama consisted of me mailing almost all of our gifts for the kids to FL ahead of time because it would be too hard to take everything on the plane. The package was suppose to arrive on the 19th of...

    Well, you certainly made me go look at his av!!
  13. Darn210
    Yeah but . . . just because it's understandable in some cases doesn't mean it's not annoying?
  14. Darn210
    Was I kween at some point? I try not to do that . . . I don't like being responsible for stuff.

    If you are going to get the biopsy, he MUST stay on gluten to have the best chance for an accurate result. I will also say that I had to have a diagnosis/note from the doctor for her school. I think I could have still gotten "some" arrangements made if I made enough noise about it . . . every time I needed to make a request. However, with the diagnosis...

    yep . . . too early . . . lots of ups and downs in the beginning while you are both healing and learning the ropes. My daughter was mostly better within a few weeks or so but she still had bad days every now and then for about 10 months. Every time she had a bad day, I would investigate what she had been eating, looking for a source of gluten/contamination...

    The fact that his lab numbers were off the charts and at least now are measureable is good. It can take a while for (and I mean a long while) for numbers and symptoms to resolve. My daughter took about 10 months to become symptom free and she did not have the extreme symptoms/loss of school time that your son had. You've got a lot of good advice on places...

    The Kinnikinnick crusts were a bit blah . . . couldn't seem to get them crispy. Just a tidbit . . . if you like crispy crust, use a pizza pan that has the holes throughout. It makes a huge difference.

    This goes over well everywhere I take it. Super easy to make, it's just a matter of buying the ingredients. Cook on the stove then keep warm in a crock pot if you need it to stay warm for a while. Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps (It's a knock-off of the PF Changs wraps) 2 garlic cloves minced (I use the minced stuff in the jar (but not dehydrated))...

    Best Wishes for your Mom, Karen.

    I'm happy that you've found yourself a great pizza. When you first go gluten free, you think that you will have to give up all your favorite things. You just need to go out and experiment and you will have new favorites in no time.

    I use both egg and milk in my meatloaf and I have noticed that I use more milk now that I use gluten free crumbs. Crumb-quantity-wise, I'm probably also using a little less. I also use a higher fat ground beef for meatloaf than I would for something like spaghetti sauce.

    Cup4Cup is a flour blend . . . and if I'm not mistaken, it already has the xanthan gum added so subbing in the guar gum wouldn't work unless the OP switches to a different flour mix. I'm just going to throw a word of caution out there. Bean flours seem to be a love 'em or hate 'em kind of thing. I personally don't care for them. Some people do. I...

    Mine is due to rosacea . . . worse in winter . . . and flushes when I'm drinking alcohol. When it flushes it's soooo red and leaves the skin around my lips white. You know, just to make the red look redder.

    I'm sure they thought they were being generous with the Godiva . . . and in most cases they would be . . . and really why would anyone (other than the label-reading-celiacs (and their mothers )think that there might be a possibility of wheat in chocolate. I have to throw out a good story, too . . . just to remind people that it DOES happen . . . ...
