    Mixed kitchen here as well. It has taken me three years to get the routines down. No one is allowed to use certain pans, colanders or any wooden spoons or cutting boards for gluteny things. All gluten containing items are restricted to one cabinet away from the Gluten-free stuff. No flours or mixes allowed anywhere near my kitchen unless it is totally...

    Oh, goodness, I would never be able to fit anything else in my fridge if I had to keep my flours in there. I think I have about two dozen air-tight containers full of all kinds of starches, powders, flours and mixes. Also, I have found that if they don't get used up fast enough, corn and bean flours begin to get an "off" smell. I usually use them before...

    I agree that you (or anyone) should open up a totally Gluten-free restaurant right away. I am pretty sure the best possible location would be on New Orleans northshore in Slidell, Louisiana. I can guarantee at least one loyal customer!

    LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!! ROTFLOFL!!!!!!!!!!!! I am sorry about your cookies, but you painted such a vivid picture that I am pretty sure I could actually see the squirrel running up your leg! OMG, I can't stand it! Thanks, I needed that!

    Yeah, that's about how I feel. I am still not myself, achy muscles, headache, some ear pain left and only about half the amount or less of that nasty fatigue. I am actually going to drive myself to Wal-Mart now (first time driving in over a month) because the hubby has a sore throat and we're out of honey. Plus, I want some of that $1.66 Rice Chex everybody...

    Well, we decided the outlet mall would be too much so we just went to a few stores around here. We did two stores, then a leisurely lunch and two stores more before I was beat. My sister wanted to go to the mall, but I couldn't. We dropped her and my daughter off and picked them back up later. We met them at Pier 1 and I didn't even have enough strength to...

    Well, I still have the headache and swollen glands. I am pretty fatigued (not nearly as much) and also have the muscle achyness all over, but I am doing much better. I went out for Halloween, just to see my niece and nephew before they went trick or treating. Yesterday I rested all day because I knew today I was going to try to give shopping a try for...

    Thanks, I am feeling much "brighter" if you know what I mean. I went to see my niece and nephew in their costumes on Halloween (but I did not attempt to go trick or treating with them.) Yesterday I rested all day and today will be my first attempt at shopping in a month. My mom and sister are picking me up and we will have a light lunch and try to visit a...

    Thanks jersey! When I called my answer was too vague to trust. Especially since I've already been sick from the Mono, I didn't want to take even the slightest chance.

    HELP!!!

    My hubby just brought me this and I want it bad, now! The ingredients label says natural flavors, so I called the site and they assured me it contains no allergens. Allergens? What about gluten, I'm worried there maybe barley. I hope someone knows for sure, I am not going to trust the person I spoke with. I am already sick and don't want to chance...

    Colostrum, like colostrum? Really? I didn't know that was available as a supplement. I will look in to that. I suppose it's a cow's milk product, though and I am trying to avoid dairy right now. I have been having reactions to it. You guys! It's been four weeks and I still feel so bad! I am so freaking tired and achy all of the time. My head hurts constantly...

    I made it to my daughter's play last night, boy that was exhausting, but she was awesome. Today I feel like I was glutened, I don't know if it's a "stress" reaction from Mono or maybe my niece or nephew's kisses got me (they went to a Halloween fest before the play.) Besides the fatigue and muscle aches I've been having, I also have the worst headache...

    ARCHIVED Italy!

    dksart replied to dancer29's topic in Traveling with Celiac Disease

    "Io sono celiaco." That is what Shauna James Ahern, of Gluten-Free Girl fame, said was all that she had to say anywhere she went in Italy on her honeymoon. Here's a link to her blog. Open Original Shared Link I think I may have an allergen/intolerance card written in Italian somewhere. I'll try to find that for you as well. Good luck, have fun and...

    My daughter is performing in her school's production of "Pippin" tonight. I am hoping to have enough strength to make it. I still do not want to eat much. Does anyone have a suggestion for a kind of energy boost? I take a liquid B-12 and I also have some Emergen-C with extra minerals that is supposed to help. Thanks.

    Ha! Thanks for the smile, I needed a bit of a chuckle.

    I am drinking my rosemary tea (much tastier than expected) taking my pro-biotics and extra supplements, and desperately trying to relax. I got my appointment letter from the clinic today and it has someone else's name on it. The rest of the information is correct, so I called to see what was up. The receptionist was obviously having a bad day because...

    Thanks to everyone for the encouraging comments, I really needed them. Yesterday was a tough day to get through. My brother was in town and wanted to pick me up to go shopping (that's our thing) and I didn't even have the strength to brush my hair much less shower. Mtndog, thanks for the karma! I will try to keep hydrated, but I still have no appetite...

    Momma Goose, Since hurricane Katrina, the health clinic I called is the closest one. Thanks for the link anyway, because of it I found a clinic for my daughter (unrelated issue.) Thanks Shay, I am taking extra Oregano oil, vitamin C, Mag/Cal/Vit. D and zinc/silver lozenges. I am not supplementing L-Lysine, but I do eat plenty beans, peas...

    Anything anyone can say would help right now. I've been having this Mono over three weeks now and it's been getting worse since Sunday. I am so extremely fatigued I can hardly stand it anymore. The muscle pain and weakness has been worsening and is non-stop. My ears ache, I have a miserable headache, swollen glands in my neck/behind my ears, my throat...

    Oh, m' god, Oh, m' god, Oh, m' god, Oh, m' god, Oh, m' god, CINNAMON ROLLS!

    My daughter (and 6 other kids in her thespian troupe) all came down with Mono a few weeks ago, so I am only assuming that is what I have. No insurance, no doctor. I have been having ear ache, swollen glands, scratchy throat, dry cough, extreme fatigue and muscle aches for about two weeks now. I am so sick of this, I am absolutely miserable. I can not complete...

    I was recently experiencing gluten reactions that made me re-evaluate all of my supplements, vitamins, meds etc. and it turned out to be my husband's body wash. Yep.

    I'm Italian, Tinkyada pasta is the shiznit. My whole, huge Italian family thinks so, too. You can NOT tell the difference. It even holds up perfectly in Minestrone, Pasta Fagioli, Lasagna, Baked Ziti.......

    I do the same, but add more fresh grated ginger and..... 1 heaping tablespoon stone ground (New Orleans Creole style) mustard 1 grated clove garlic This is especially delicious on catfish (any mild white fish) or chicken and then grilled! The marmalade caramelizes around the edges! My favorite ginger recipe is a Thai style soup. Tom...
