    Happy birthday and may God bless you today!

    I do not like any of the sugar substitutes. they leave a very bitter after taste and I usually get a headache or a sour stomach. sooo, it will take me longer on WW, but I prefer the health benefits to organic yogurts that are not sweetened with aspartame or splenda. I have no problelm with cottage cheese, but i don't eat it that often. Extra veges...maybe...

    Has anyone attempted Weight Watchers while being gluten sensitive??? It's working, but I am looking for anyone who is or has done this successfully. Advice and any hints you have would be helpful. Gotta get the excess pounds off!

    Maltodextrin --- I thought it was ok, but I just read an article that it contains hidden gluten? Anybody know?
  5. Mally-bug
    PERFECT! THANK SO MUCH. I THOUGHT IT WAS, AND READ THAT IT WAS, BUT I WANTED TO KNOW HOW IT AFFECTED OTHER CELIACS. YOU REALLY HELPED OUT! I'M TAKING THE PLUNGE. THE LIGNANS ARE SO GOOD FOR US.

    ARCHIVED Flax Seed

    Mally-bug posted a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Can anybody verify for me that ground flax is gluten free. I am pretty sure it is but would like others' experiences with it.

    Hi everybody... I have to agree with the others on not eating what your mil bakes outside your own house. I sometimes wonder (and I am not suggesting YOUR mil would do this, but this is my own experience) if non-celiacs who think "just a little if ok" add a little gluten ingredient, etc and watch to see if there will be a reaction? I know it sounds devious...

    Hello everybody! I am wondering is anyone has ever had any gastro problems with maltitol (artificial sweetener). I bought some macaroons that were gluten-free, CF, and sweetened with maltitol. MAN! I feel like I've been glutened, but I cannot imagine from what. Cottage cheese? Everything else I've had (besides the cookies) is something I've cooked myself...

    Awwww I feel for you! But I have to agree with Fiddlefaddle....pump up the MIL and tell her that she is such a great cook that you look forward to her "help" in cooking gluten-free. She could experiment with some of the new recipes you'll send her and you just know she'll enjoy the new challenge! Actually, i have purchased a few of the boxed cake/bread...

    Does anyone know if the Arby's chicken salad sandwich or wrap served without the bread or tortilla, of course, is gluten free? I checked their website and they say it is not gluten free, but I just ate it and right now I'm ok. What in the world could be the gluten ingredient? I get it served on lettuce in a bowl. anyone had one before? tasty with the grapes...

    Thanks ladies. I know my family means well and I didn't want to gripe, but I guess I needed to vent. Thanks so much for all your advice.

    Well, I have been TRYING to eat gluten-free since July. My daughter had a positive result from Enterolab and she and I both had positive dietary responses. Another daughter got on the bandwagon after seeing our success and she is doing great (eliminating casein too) Now, my son (who lives on his own) is trying this as his fiance is positive he has this as...
  13. Mally-bug
    Wow! Your responses are just terrific! thank you so much. I'd like to give it a try, ...I have to give a tad more research to this and see some sample menus. I can think of a few right off the bat but I fear the boredom and then I'm back with the old habits. chicken, beef, pork, fish. yum! veges - yum! fruit - yum! nuts - love 'em i love dairy tho...

    You have all been so supportive since I started as a member of this forum. I love "talking" to you, reading your stories, and your advice. I have another question for you... I have begun reading about the Paleolithic Diet and how it is a wonderful way of eating for celiacs and those with gluten intolerances. Have any of you tried this? Is it difficult...
  15. Mally-bug
    If any of you out there have had stool tests done by Enterolab, about how long did you have to wait for your results? I know they say that if you don't hear within three weeks to contact them, but I am wondering if it takes them the better part of three weeks to e-mail you the results?Or did you get the results sooner??? I am just looking for your experience...
  16. Mally-bug
    You are so right! I have recently read both of those books and the Gluten Free for Dummies is super. I really enjoyed the read and would recommend it to anyone starting out on this "adventure"... Great advice!

    Does anyone out there know if Portillo's Italian beef (not the bread of course...), but just the beef and the au jus is gluten free. I ate some tonight and I am not feeling too good. I looked on the packages and the meat package had no listing and the gravy package was not readable (I was a guest at someone's house who was serving this so I didn't want to...

    I have been making soy and 'naked juice' brand juice smoothies since going gluten-free this month. BUT now I see maltodextrin as an ingredient. I read the safe and unsafe foods list and the special note about US FDA making sure maltodextrin is made from corn or potato starch. How do I know Naked Juice is ok for sure??? Has anyone out there found any problems...
  19. Mally-bug
    Thank you so much for the info. I will recommend that he get tested but he currently does not have health insurance, so I doubt he will. We will see what the Enterolab results are for my daughter and remind him that it is an inherited disease and he should try this! You have many of the same allergies I do as well as my daughters and my son. Can you tell...
  20. Mally-bug
    I have been thinking about things since my daughter and I have had a very (nice) positive dietary response to being gluten free. I remember that my son, who is now nearly 26, was allergy tested as a young boy. He was probably around 10. Allergies to wheat, rye, barely, and oat all came up! No one ever mentioned celiac disease to me. With time, he was eating...

    My goodness, Elizabeth...after looking at your e-signature and all the food sensitivities you have (sugar, corn, dairy, gluten...) what do you eat? I am whining about gluten and probably dairy. You are uplifting and positive! Good for you! Do you have special food favorites??? Renee
  22. Mally-bug
    I have been at this a VERY short time - about 2 weeks, but I have to say it isn't bad. I feel better and that's the biggest bonus. I usually cook anyway, now I just adjust. Like all of you, the biggest hurdle (which is really is not that big of a deal) is having to read all the labels. I think that after awhile, I will know what to buy and what my favorites...
  23. Mally-bug
    thanks for all the advice, it really does help. it honestly might be too hard to give up coffee but everything else definitely seems do-able! keep passin that wisdom on...

    Does anyone know if thew Breakstone's "live active" cottage cheese (2% milkfat) containing fruit is gluten free? I did not see (were my bifocals too weak???haha) the words "with probiotic fiber" on the label when I bought it. It says it contains inulin and modified food starch. Of course, the way the label is glued on it overlaps itself, cutting off the end...
  25. Mally-bug
    oh gosh, good call. im so new to this, its hard to remember half the time that wheat is in just about everything!
