    I have served the Namaste brownies (topped with Philadelphia cheesecake in a tub and a jar of Cracker Barrel's Blackberry Cobbler filling) many times. It is requested over and over whenever I go to a dinner party etc., and no one even has a clue that it is gluten-free. Same thing for their spice cake, it is awesome. I make it into a carrot cake by adding...

    Exactly! (I'll reply smaller now ) They should not. Our dog has an intolerance/allergy to wheat which is how I first found out about the horrible things that go into dog food (i.e. diseased, previously dead, decaying road kill, euthanized zoo animals and sometimes even dogs and cats and "meat by-products" that are not considered quality enough for human...

    .....That you know of ..... is the thing. You are probably still doing damage without showing any symptoms.

    My dogs eat gluten-free. Our oldest dog has a wheat allergy/intolerence and if he gets any it makes his paws swell and itch so he bites them until they bleed. I would still feed them this food anyway because I love all the Gluten-free puppy kisses! For treats, they get carrots, chicken jerky or my homemade peanut butter dog biscuits and their main...

    Doree, I think you were describing many my symptoms before being diagnosed celiac. The gluten-free lifestyle has helped about 90% of my problems. It may seem difficult at first, but three years in it is second nature and I no longer have cravings for any of those nasty gluten filled breads, etc. Tell your Dr. and no matter what he says, try going Gluten...

    Only five?! I don't know about that, I have to buy new canisters on a regular basis whenever I add a new flour to my repertoire. I think I have about 18 or 20 now. 1.) Corn (white, yellow or blue) flour/starch/meal/masa 2.) Almond flour/meal 3.) Rice flour (sweet, brown and white) 4.) Potato flour/starch (white and sweet) ...

    It will get better and better as you go along. Keep experimenting with flour/starch blends, different leavening agents and gums/gelatin until you find the best texture as well as taste. (Remember to make breadcrumbs out of the not-so-beautiful ones!) When you finally make a Gluten-free loaf that has the perfect crumb and your bread smells and sounds the way...

    Time for a career change! Either that or sell all of your equipment and get new stuff to start a fabulous gluten-free shop. I sure wish a Gluten-free bakery would open up around here.

    Not that I was tested, I have no insurance right now, but after tons of research and comparing symptoms of other celiacs on this site, I take sublingual B-12(cobalamin), vitamin D, Magnesium, Calcium and Iron supplements. My energy level and stamina have been much improved and my weird eye twitch is gone. The nightly unbearable leg cramps and muscle spasms...

    Pro-Biotics!
  11. dksart
    I also agree with GFinDC about the pro-biotics. I buy the refrigerated kind with 4 or 5 strains from my local health food store. It has helped all of my issues with D and C almost completely disappear!

    You are still very new to all this. Give your gut some time to heal. Many of us have problems with milk or soy when first switching to a Gluten-free lifestyle, so avoid them for a while. Stick to basic, naturally Gluten-free foods at first. I would go with fish, veggies, rice and fruits the first week, then chicken, potatoes, and red meats. Maybe some quinona...

    Will, when you do go back to school, be sure to keep an emergency snack in your backpack for the times when temptation strikes. I always have roasted nuts, raisins or Gluten-free granola in my purse just in case.

    I love this thread. I wish my wonderful husband and teenage daughter would read it and miraculously think "Oh, I might really be hurting her if I get a tiny bit of wheat bread crumbs in the utensil drawer or on the counters. Maybe I should use special pans and utensils or even clean up after making a grilled cheese sandwich." Or even "We should make...

    Wow! Actual concern from a major company. Amazing. As stated above, you go girl!

    Hey Will, My favorite super easy snack or lunch is a quesadilla on Mission corn tortillas with Quesadilla Soy cheese. I drizzle a touch of oil in a non-stick pan, throw in two tortillas and turn them over to spread the oil around so that there's a bit on each side. Then I grate on some soy cheese. Fold in half or top with second tortilla, brown on...

    You are so incredibly lucky to have a supportive husband. Mine still thinks I should be able to kiss him after he eats a sandwich or drinks beer because "it can't be that bad, I swallowed it all"

    Last year I had Thanksgiving at my house and I cooked everything myself. No cc worries there! For Christmas, etc. whenever we eat at my Mom's or another relative's house, I make sure to bring 2 or 3 side dishes that are hearty enough to be my whole meal. I just don't take chances anymore. Even the family members that do take it seriously enough might have...

    Thank You for sharing your story! I am changing my attitude right now. I have been having way too much "Gluten Anxiety" and I truly believe this is going to help.

    Great suggestions! I feel exactly the same.

    .......about the beer....... If you like a richer, somewhat darker, amber style beer, try Dragon's Gold. A really nice summertime, crisp, refreshing beer is New Grist. I believe that one won some blue ribbons, even beating out traditional brews. I find Redbridge OK, but it is the only Gluten-free one I can find locally. I have a friend in North...

    ARCHIVED Asian Food.

    dksart replied to Katester's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    I use Roland brand hoisin, it does not have MSG and is gluten-free and delicious. They also have some other great Gluten-free sauces such as fermented black bean and garlic-chili.

    I get mine from Asian markets.If there's not one locally, an online Asian foods supplier will still be much less expensive. That's where I get all of my rice flours (sweet, brown and roasted as well as regular rice flour) and potato starch.
  25. dksart
    How about a baked ham with pineapples, mashed sweet potatoes, roasted asparagus and some cauliflower au gratin. Make the cauliflower and potatoes the day before and heat everything in the oven together as the ham bakes and asparagus roast. Good Luck!
