    I suppose the gluten is effecting my brain more than I thought. Hubby just brought home hot glazed doughnuts and a fresh baked king cake (sort of a huge twisted ring of cinnamon roll with icing and colored sugar) except he waited for them to bake me a special one w/out icing! <3 I am hurting, though. It's really got me out of commission. Only 1/2 a day...

    Well, I don't have insurance. Can't afford it right now. I go to a clinic/hospital an hour away for the (mostly) free care. I had to wait three months for this appointment, it's like that with any of the dr's and you get whatever doctor is available. I'm just glad to get to see a doctor at all in most cases. It took almost exactly a year for my Rheumatologist...

    Not going to cracker barrel for breakfast, hurting. Hubby is going to doughnut shop for a French crueller and a cinnamon bear-claw type thingy without icing. Also, not making bbq shrimp today either. The rest of my family are so used to the routine. Take out plate, scoop Gluten-free things first, use dedicated spoon for gluten, put plate down, wash...

    Just had my first Guinness in five years! not what I remembered.

    *Y*E*S* Get yourself a little cheap toaster and hide it in a cabinet (like I do) so no one else will use it. Those little gluten buggers will definitely get you in the other one. So, do you know about checking for hidden gluten in your toothpaste, face wash, shampoo, vitamins, prescriptions etc. ? That stuff is everywhere. Good Luck

    I was thinking of exactly those things. Tomorrow's breakfast will be Cracker Barrel's biscuits w/coffee and sourdough wheat grilled toast. Or possibly French toast. Does Cracker Barrel make that? Today I've had a bite each of an almond croissant, a chocolate eclair and an apple turnover (hubby & daughter helped w/the rest) I Loved the texture of the...

    I went to my GP today and he gave me shots of Toridol(anti-inflam) and Depomedrol(steroid) that have helped alleviate much of the pain. I am still SO constipated and have terrible twisting pains in my gut. My belly is very distended, I look pregnant. The Dr. told me to take Gas-X and Miralax. **Anyone know the Gluten-free status on these meds?** The tests...

    Dairy and red meats are off limits still, So far I've had a Chick-fil-A sandwich, a slice of cinnamon raisin toast, and today Popeye's chicken, a biscuit & 3 onion rings. None of it was as good as I remembered, certainly not worth the pain and stomach turmoil they've caused. But that biscuit was damn good. I still can't decide what to eat tomorrow, but...

    What foods do you miss most? If you could have a 'free' day or your Dr. made you eat gluten (like me) what would you choose? I can't decide. I'm also not happy about this.

    I can hardly type. Still in bed, feet hurt to touch the floor. Swollen, painful, tender joints, headache, brain fog, plus nausea, bloating and gas, but no D yet. That part I don't understand except that I was already constipated the last few days so maybe there is a dam holding back the 'flood'. Sorry if that was too graphic. I'm miserable. If anyone...

    The ultrasound is to check my gall bladder etc. for other possible problems. He said I had to eat gluten so the antibodies would show up on the blood test. I told him that I thought, since I've been Gluten-free since late 2005, the test would be negative anyway. He said those gluten antibodies are strong, they stick around even if you eat gluten free,...

    Today was my first visit w/ the new GI Dr. and he is making me eat gluten! I have to go back Monday for a load of blood tests and an ultrasound. He said even though I've been Gluten-free for over four years, five days eating gluten would be enough for the antibodies to show up in the test. Does anyone agree? At all? Been through it? I am so nervous and...

    ARCHIVED What To Discuss W/ Rheum

    dksart posted a topic in Doctors

    I am finally getting to see a Rheumatologist! An appointment opened up for Thursday and I am not prepared! I have been on the waiting list for a year and now I am having anxiety over going. Any and all suggestions are appreciated. I am having major brain fog and can't even make a list (which is what I always do best.) I also feel I should be tested...

    I am so happy! It gives me great pleasure to feed people, I'm a mom. That double layer idea sounds great. I am positively going to start working on a dairy free version. Any ideas for subs for the cheeses?
  15. dksart
    I used to use only full fat ricotta, mozzarella, sour cream and most other dairy products. Cream cheese, on the other hand, I always got Neufchatel because I preferred the texture and taste, same thing with lo-fat cottage cheese. Neither of those are compromised by being the healthier option. IMHO. I think either would work fine.
  16. dksart
    Yes, small curd lo-fat, never fat free! The cream cheese I used was also lo-fat... Neufchatel, I believe, but the butter has to be butter. Margarine or spreads would not work. I have not made this in almost a year, since I added dairy to the off-limits list. I can't imagine that milk-free subs would work, but I may still try one day. I'll post it if...

    Sorry guys, I edited the original a few times... that one called for 1/3 c cream cheese and the rest in cottage cheese to "total" 3/4 of a cup. I do wrap it in plastic, but it doesn't really stick. The dough will be firmed up from chilling, plus all the butter and cheeses keep it from sticking as well. I actually wrap it into a flattened disc more...

    ...sorry to thread jack, but did somebody say croissants? I have this awesome recipe for Gluten-free "Pillsbury" style crescent rolls that turn out pretty darn close to authentic. I can't have these any more, since dairy is now in the "OFF LIMITS" column (which is getting awfully crowded these days!) Not sure where this originally came from, maybe...

    rofl! I am right there with you! That statement is perfect! Remember Joey from 'Friends' who didn't want anyone to sniff his sandwich because ".....half the taste is in the smell!"
  20. dksart
    Popeye's spicy fried chicken, onion rings and a biscuit, please! Also a Chick-fil-A sandwich with extra pickles on honey wheat, my mom's baked macaroni and gravy, a frosty mug of Guinness draught, with a fried seafood platter.....Oh!, and a big fat french fry po-boy with melted Swiss, lettuce, pickles, caramelized onions, dripping with tons of roast beef...

    Pretty much everything at taco hell has wheat flour in it. Even if they don't, they're cc'd anyway. Snickers are fine, don't know about the ice cream. You should call the company.
  22. dksart
    I mostly use a combo of Chex rice and corn cereals, but if I have a few Chebe rolls left over or a square of cornbread, that gets thrown in as well. If I feel like making them "Progresso" style I just leave out any corn crumbs and add dried Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, s&p and nutritional yeast to taste. Toasting in the oven for...

    ARCHIVED Mcalister's Deli

    dksart replied to dksart's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    Thanks for the update! I still haven't tried them yet.
  24. dksart
    Here's the email I got in response to "the" question at McAlister's Deli in Slidell, Louisiana. I wish there were more veggie options, but at least there ARE options. Also, I love the personal message instead of the form letter "we can not guarantee...." blah, blah, blah answer we usually hear. Mrs Debbie~ Hi my name is Stacy Weaver. I'm the General...
