    That's great news, Ursa!

    Unless your daughter has issues with dairy, any brand of milk is fine. I buy 1% milk in whatever store I happen to be in when we have run out - including WalMart - and it's fine. Nestle Toll House Chocolate Chips are gluten free - but not dairy free if that ever becomes an issue. I haven't used bouillon cubes recently, but no doubt someone will...

    I don't know for sure but I have a friend whose grandchildren are in Germany for the same reason, so I will ask her the next time I see her. Celiac runs in her family, so she is aware of the needs. I do know that here in the USA parents have the option of homeschooling their kids if that seems to be the best option for whatever reason, including constant...

    Before going gluten free, neither brown rice nor raw carrots bothered me and now they cause bloating. I am hoping that with enough time that will go away and I can add those items back into my diet.

    I believe this same statement could be ~ and probably has been ~ made about Enterolab, but Enterolab is recommended all over this board. Why? Because the product they offer is useful for some people, the same as can be said about GlutenEase.

    I'm not going to quote Rachel's posts because they are so long, but in response to Post #50 and #51 in this thread, I agree with her 100%. It just makes more sense to be proactive than reactive when it comes to your health and well being. I am certainly no one's shill and I take GlutenEase on a fairly regular basis because I feel better when I take it...

    I have a customer with extreme mold sensitivity. She was on disability for a couple of years before she got enough of her health back that she could return to work. For some reason (she told me but I can't remember) she recently wound up in a local ER where upon her condition got worse instead of better! The reason (confirmed by the attending ER...

    This is exactly what I was thinking! If you are consuming no gluten (found only in wheat, rye, and barley) whatsoever, then you are following by default the only treatment available for celiac. Therefore either you are not as gluten free as you think you are, or your symptoms are caused by something else. Otherwise, as you say you cannot consume...

    As you are a brand new member of this church, I strongly suggest you talk to the pastor about this issue. If your congregation is any size at all, they are probably already accommodating someone else, and are doing it discretely enough that you didn't notice. And yes we all will die of something (unless the Lord comes back first) but I would much...

    I'm not sure why you think the diet is so expensive as fresh and frozen meats and produce are far less expensive (and healthier) than processed foods and gluten replacements just are not necessary. Nice, but not necessary. Nevertheless, if you are determined to go through with this, may I suggest that you have someone check in on you several times a day...

    I don't know if this will help, but when the fires were so bad in Southern California, the local news media all had links to the most recent satellite photos showing where the smoke plumes were blowing. Also local TV and newspapers have weather and air quality pages, with current info. I don't have links to those sources, but they should be easy enough...

    It sounds like they are doing some fast and furious back-peddling and ruffled feather smoothing once they found out you were an informed customer and were publicizing their asinine policy. Unfortunately they might just be blowing smoke as it sounds like from their last statement that they don't really understand the needs of the gluten free customer. It...

    I just bought the buttermilk - it has a "best used by July 8" date on it. I guess now I know why you can't buy less than a quart of it - the rest is to use the second time you try to get the recipe right! Not only did I use Potato Starch, it was Bob's Potato Starch!
  14. home-based-mom
    HMMMMMMMMMM. That's an interesting idea. I will look for the Bob's brand next time I am at Henry's. I used Wal-Mart's Great Value, but maybe in this case it wasn't such a "great value" at all! I really need to get this down because I have to travel to a short missions conference at the end of the month where we will be staying with host families...

    This was a quick bread so there wasn't any kneading. I swear it is so flat you could make one big sandwich using one loaf on the top and the other loaf on the bottom! I was planning on making a sandwich with this bread to eat during the missions committee meeting tomorrow but I think I won't. And it is so dry! It feels like sawdust in your mouth...

    "Organic" in this sense means a food grown without artificial pesticides or fertilizers. Gluten can come from wheat that was grown organically or otherwise. If your body cannot digest the gluten molecule, it really doesn't matter if it was grown organically or not.

    I printed out the Potato Quick Bread recipe from the Bob's Red Mill site and followed directions. It is supposed to make 2 loaves. Neither rose higher than 2-2

    One customer gave me a couple of gift certificates for See's. I was told the boxed chocolates are OK. Another customer bought me a box of Russell Stover Truffle Assortment. It says (in bold letters, thankyouverymuch) that it is processed on shared equipment with peanuts, tree nuts, eggs, and wheat, so I was a bit leery of eating any, but I was OK with...

    Congratulations! You done good - I'm impressed! And here I was all excited about actually finding bake ware at WalMart that was Made in USA and not in China! I like your find better!

    P&G is being boycotted by other groups for other reasons (justly IMHO) and they are a difficult company to avoid because they are into so much. There are often 3 sections of coupons in the Sunday paper. Two of them feature all other companies, and P&G has their own section - they are into that many products. They are not the only company...

    Craigslist is like 7-11 or the DMV: absolutely all kinds of people go there, including unbalanced and unsavory. There can be good deals found there, but it also seems to be a great place to run a scam operation. If you are looking to give away stuff to be used by others, consider Open Original Shared Link.

    Check out this thread. There is a pretty good list there! Open Original Shared Link

    You aren't going to like this, but the way to convince him this is serious is to politely but firmly ask for a new salad. Picking the croutons off does not work ( another member used a Comet analogy - would you sprinkle Comet on the salad and then brush it off and go ahead and eat it?) and by doing so no matter what you say, you have shown your boy friend...

    Gluten free is one of those what my dad used to call "unique and pregnant" situations. Something is unique or it isn't. There is no "sort of." You are either pregnant or you are not. You are either gluten free or you are not. If there is gluten in your house then you are not because as Ridgewalker says, "Gluten seems to sprout legs and walk where...

    A lady in my church used to decorate cakes professionally. Once a theme was chosen, she would often use small toys that could later be played with. Cars, dinosaurs, Disney Princesses, there really are no limitations other that what is available and your imagination! Just be sure to thoroughly wash the toys before and after use.
