    At one Mexican restaurant the issue with the wheat on their corn tortillas is the tortialla "warmer" since they use it to warm both flour and corn. Personally I have given up on eating out. It's just not safe in my mind unless I walk back in the kitchen and make it myself. Too many bad experiences. I have been told that there are mexican restaurants who...

    When I first went gluten free the only thing I elminated was gluten (This was 11 months ago when I got diagnosed) and my body healed itself by just eliminating gluten. I wonder if dairy / soy could become a problem now? I suppose anything is possible and I do eat a LOT of dairy, I am just wondering if I cut that and soy out what I will eat!! Seriously...

    Yes, I know what you mean! A month or so ago I discovered that I was eating raw almonds that were "manufactued on equipment that also processes wheat." Grrrr...

    Yes, I eat a LOT of dairy acctually. Although I was eating a lot of dairy the first time around. (When I was first diagnosed and went gluten free, and my body did heal while consuming a lot of dairy.) I will consider eliminating dairy, to see if I get any results... I'm just not sure what I will eat!!! Thanks for the advice.

    There are lots of different mixes available. I'm not sure about the CC with the old machine... not sure I would take the chance... does the dough touch anywhere except the pan? Is it possible that flour dropped anywhere in the machine except in the pan? Anyway I have had pretty good luck with my Zojirushi and mixes by Gluten-Free Pantry. You will find...

    I was diagnosed with Celiac a year ago. My symptoms are constipation, bloating, gas. (Along with iron def. anemia and who knows what other deficiencies.) I follow the gluten free diet strictly... I am suspect of everything and very careful. It took 2 or 3 months of that for my body to heal. I felt great for awhile, my hemoglobin and iron levels improved...

    NEVER thought I'd say this but I found a pasta I like BETTER than Tinkyada!!!! Crazy, isn't it? Bio Naturae Pasta - Available in Elbows. Penne, Fussili, and Spaghetti It's available here: Open Original Shared Link I highly recommend it. My Non-Celiac husband loves it too!! Beth

    Ditto on that... love the Zojirushi!!!!! Beth

    Not to discourage you, (or anyone else who is "waiting" to feel better) but it took about 2-3 months of being gluten free before I felt BETTER. Now this may be because my body takes longer to heal or perhaps I was unknowingly ingesting gluten, which happens from time to time. It does get better, just be careful and don't cheat. The smallest amount of gluten...

    Do your research online and you will quickly find all sorts of info out there. Ask Borders or another book store and there are several gluten free cook books out there as well. I have found these especially helpful for baking, since they suggests which types of gluten free flours to mix together depending on what you are making. There are also lots of...

    I have the gluten free grocery shopping guide (a blue book that is advertised on this site) and I found it to be a HUGE help. I highly reccomend it. If you have questions about specific items or types of foods, post them here. I will see if they are in the book. Then you can know whether the brands located in stores near you have been researched in that...

    Any chance you can find Boar's Head brand nearby? They make high quality hot dogs, sausages, etc... and they label all of their gluten free products as such. Beth

    Hi Christine, I feel for you, being relatively new to the whole gluten free thing, and struggling with trying to keep it out of my diet. I am 31, but also just went through college (nursing school) and am always looking for quick, easy, convenient, gluten free food, which is challenging to find! (Thankfully I never liked beer in the first place, but was...

    I can't say for sure if there is risk to the baby when accidentally ingesting gluten but I eat Yoplait yogurt everyday. (It is labeled gluten free.) I am not pregnant yet, but hope to start trying within the next year for the first time in my life. I am so thankful that I got diagnosed (1 year ago) prior to trying to get pregnant, so hopefully I will have...

    With my celiac related iron deficiency simply going on the gluten free diet for a few months brought my hemoglobin and iron levels up quite a bit. I wouldn't take iron pills as my doctor instructed due to the fact that my celiac symptoms include constipation already so there's no way I could also handle taking iron in addition! I would just suggest drinking...

    My new favorite Gluten Free Pasta: Open Original Shared Link One of my favorite meals ever... Pasta with sauce and Italian Sausage. That was pre-celiac-diagnosis. Since finding out I have to live gluten free I have spent countless hours researching brands of sauce, tasting different brands of gluten free pasta, and usually avoiding sausage, unsure if...

    Hi, I am 30 and was diagnosed with Celiac over the summer. Kroger has frozen microwaveable meals which are gluten free. My absolute favorite is Amy's gluten free rice macaroni and cheese. It really tastes like the real thing. I take it to work with me all the time for my lunch, along with Hunts snack pack pudding cups (all flavors are gluten free from what...

    Glutino makes a gluten free onion soup base. Go to gluten free.com The far left of the screen is a column labeled "store." Search under Soups. I use their cream of mushroom soup mix to make cheesy potatoes, since my recipe calls for a can of cream of mushroom soup. I just use half the water it calls for. It works great. Hope this helps!!...

    Donna, those yoplait (yay! gluten free!) yogurts are excellent frozen. I keep them in the freezer when I buy them (orange cream or strawbery or whatever flavor you prefer) and then bring one to work and throw it in the fridge, eating it on my first break when it is thawed enough to eat... yum. Beth

    Hi Liz, so sorry to hear about your aunt's passing. Hope your trip to beautiful N. Carolina is / was safe, and you didn't starve! (I wish I liked salad more than I do!) Take care, Beth

    Haven't been on in awhile, hope everyone is doing great. Started back with nursing school so between that and working I am crazy, have not exercised, eating pretty crappy... and feeling crappy too! So the plan is to start tonight making some food ahead of time I can freeze so I make sure to stick to my gluten free diet, ( working 12 hour shifts I need to...

    Kassondra: I have not figured out the cure to cravings yet, that is for sure! I have been eating so much junk food lately, and not exercising, so needless to say I have some work to do. I have heard people say if you distract yourself for like 10 minutes by going and doing something else that the craving will pass but I don't know if that really works or...

    Hi Donna and "Bellyfat" and "Lonewolf" DONNA:What do you do at the hospital? I am in nursing school and I work 12 hour shifts at a hospital too, and will probably be on midnights myself soon, when I graduate. For now I am a contingent nurse tech. I have read so many people do the gluten free thing even though they have no diagnosis for celiac and...

    Hello everyone! I will have to read up on the old posts to see what kinds of things you are doing on here and get to know some of you, but this looks like the place for me to be! I am newly diagnosed celiac, newly gluten free and finding the highlight of all this insanity to be that I have lost 4 pounds since the beginning of August. (This I am sure is...
