    I too have used quiona flakes for baking and breakfast hot cereal and have enjoyed using them both ways. I was looking for a more substantial flake for "oatmeal cookies". I have a new cookbook from the library "The Best Gluten-Free Family Cookbook" by the same women who wrote "125 Best Gluten-Free Recipes". In it they list buckwheat flakes (oatmeal style...

    I was looking at a bag of Lay's Kettle Cooked Sea Salt and Vinegar Potato Chips bought in California. It clearly states at the bottom of the ingredients "Contains Wheat and Milk Products." Reading the list of ingredients one reads "Wheat Maltodextrin". I do not remember reading this on an ingredient list before. My reaction was: What!! A search on the internet...

    ARCHIVED Homeopathic Remedy

    dkmb replied to celiac3270's topic in Doctors

    celiac3270, I think the drug your doctor is talking about is Reglan, a generic for it is metoclopramide. It gets things moving through your system faster to stop the fullness feeling so you eat more. Be careful. I took it for not quite two weeks and I developed side effects of extreme nervousness. I am usually a quiet person, but I couldn't stop talking and...

    I prefer the Silk brand soymilk. They even have a nog they make that is better than most commercial brands because it is thinner and not so loaded with spices. It is not fortified with calcium though like most of their varieties. I have used it on my morning cereal for a different flavor. I also like the chocolate, which is quite sweet so I save it for once...

    If you make cornbread and use gluten-free flour for the regular it comes out very good. My husband likes it better than "real people" flour. (that is him keeping humor in our lives). If you cut the baked cornbread into small squares and even use the crumbs, bake it in a 425 degree oven until toasted, just like the mixes in the store, it will come out great...

    I use Ancient Harvest Quinoa Flakes for a cereal. They have cookie and muffin recipes on the box which I haven't tried. I think you could probably substitute them for oats but I don't think they would remain as well formed in a cookie as oats do. They seem to be more delicate and light. They contain all the essential amino acids, so are quite good for you...

    Thank you so much for posting all those wonderful sounding recipes! I always look forward to your posts on any subject on this board. We make a green salad like yours, but use pine nuts and cranberries for a sweet and crunchy taste. DK

    I love Cooking Light magazine. Our local library carries it and I read it each month and check out the month's before copy when the new one comes in. I have also given it as a gift to a family member. DK

    I went into a local Mom and Pop diner and ordered a breakfast item minus the toast, the waitress was curious and very nice and asked how I can live without wheat. She gave me a big bowl of fruit to fill in the empty space on the plate. As she was walking back to place the order she yelled out for all to hear: "This lady can't have wheat, so hold the toast...

    Another good thickener is arrowroot. You can find it in most any grocery and often cheaper in Asian markets. DK

    Here is a link to an article from Forbes on oat contamination that I saw on another celiac disease forum Open Original Shared Link It includes McCanns in those that were tested and found to have cross contamination. DK

    Whole Foods has opened an east coast gluten-free bakery. You can find articles on it at Google news section. I sent an e-mail to them regarding opening one on the west coast and this is the reply I received: I am very glad that our Wellspring stores have opened a gluten free bake house. I will pass on your recommendation to Dori Beron, our regional Bakery...

    ARCHIVED I Need To Vent

    dkmb replied to BamBam's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    I am trying in my own small way to educate more people about celiac disease. Our local library has a display case that anyone can reserve for a month to showcase an educational topic. I reserved it for this month. Along with articles from the internet which I enlarged, I am displaying books and magazines with articles on the subject which can be checked...

    You can still have a pizza night out and remain gluten-free if you bring your own gluten-free pizza and some aluminum foil for the restaurant to heat it on. My granddaughter has gone to pizza places, where she has brought her own with no problem and extra care by the staff to make sure it remains gluten free. DK

    There are about 15 Whole Foods in Northern California and many of them have cooking classes. You can look on their website to see if one is near you. If they don't have a gluten-free class, ask them if they will add one. Someone posted not to long ago that the one in San Mateo has had a couple gluten-free classes. DK

    coin-op I am curious as to how you came to your present diet. Did you refine it over the years or did it start when you were diagnosed? Did a doctor or nutrionist help you? Do you still see a doctor on a fairly regular basis to monitor your progress? Alot of those vegetables you mentioned not eating are ones that cause gas problems with many people and...

    Check out the calendar on this site. The Bay Area ROCK (raising our celiac kids) is having a picnic in Palo Alto on Sept. 26th. Sounds like fun. You bring your own food to BBQ along with outdoor toys. Someone is taking orders for pizza crusts and breads you can purchase that day. The Santa Cruz Support Group is meeting at Dominican Hospital on Sept. 1...

    I had forgotten, but one woman I work with who was ill, returned to work on a gradual basis. Her doctor actually wrote out a prescription for the amount of hours she could work each week for about 2 to 3 weeks. DK

    I too have unbearable fatigue at times, although I am at this point gluten-free, just not healed yet. At work I break my day up into shorter breaks. I also have taken some of my sick leave an hour or more at a time. Last week was a killer for me and I ended up taking 1 hour to 1 1/2 hours sick leave 3 days and came in on one day for only half my shift. ...

    celiac3270, I am wondering if the names on the e-mails from Yoplait and General Mills are just assigned names used during an individual's workshift. That would explain the different replies we got. One person gave a pat answer with no research and the other person took the time to look for the correct answer. You mentioned you may call them. If you did...

    ARCHIVED Dizziness/vertigo

    dkmb replied to GEF's topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    I too get vertigo like symptoms, but haven't associated it with celiac disease. My doctor says it is BPPV where crystals of calcium carbonate get trapped in the inner ear rather than desolving or passing through. I have learned to control it to some extent. I don't move my head to the right (a trigger for me) but move my whole body, I don't roll over in bed...

    I contacted Yoplait by e-mail because of the reply that celiac3270 got and I am a big user of their products. This is the reply I received today. It is very different from the one celiac3270 got. I also suggested they put a notice somewhere on their website regarding gluten in their products DK Thank you for contacting Yoplait regarding gluten in Yoplait...

    To be sure about no gluten in the product you might try contacting peaceworks.com and using their contact information link. It looks as though there is no gluten in it, but sometimes mixed spices will contain some and soy sauce is notorious for having hidden gluten in it. DK

    ARCHIVED The Bill Passed!

    dkmb replied to a topic in Publications & Publicity

    The FDA has until 2008 to define the guidelines for gluten free and then it still remains optional for companies to include this on their labels. But this bill is a step in the right direction and we are already seeing companies moving toward better labeling--example--Kraft. And yes, the publicity is much welcomed. DK

    Silk makes a soymilk French Vanilla creamer that is dairy free. If you are used to that real creamy texture of the CoffeeMate creamers, you will probably find this quite thin and bland. You might try it and see if you can doctor it to your liking. DK
