ARCHIVED South Orange County, Ca Restaurants
JustMe75 replied to Cynbd's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
I am in Riverside and have tried several places so far. I love Outback. I had never been there pre gluten free and its now my favorite place to eat. I get the Alice Springs chicken with garlic mashed potatoes.... YUM! Never had a problem there (yet) I tried PF Changs 2 times and got sick once. Chipotle made me sick. I ate at Macaroni Grill and did fine... -
ARCHIVED Want The Answer To Your Tortilla Prayers?
JustMe75 replied to Cam's Mom's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I actually made these from your prior post and I have a question. Can I substitute the pizza mix for plain breadstick mix? I loved the tortillas but they have a flavor from the pizza seasoning in the pizza crust mix and I would like to try them plain. Also, I had some trouble rolling them thin enough and then being able to get them off the ziplock... -
ARCHIVED Dairy Free Butter Spread
JustMe75 replied to JustMe75's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
GREAT! Thank you so much. I wasn't sure and she soo wants to bake! -
My daughter is allergic to dairy and wants to bake some gingerbread cookies. I am NOT a baker so I was wondering if I can subtitute dairy free butter (Earths Best) in a cookie recipe?

Well, I got brave and went back to PF Changs. I was out Christmas shopping all day and was starving and there is a PF Changs at my mall so I ordered some food to go. I ordered the same thing I had before and it didn't make me sick this time. I guess it is always a gamble eating out, heck its still a gamble eating at home for me, but there are times when I...

ARCHIVED Omg The Pain! What Can I Do?
JustMe75 replied to GlutenFreeMN's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I feel like that right now too! I am sick and starving at the same time! Ugh! I ate some Ore Ida potatoes that made me terribly sick on Wednesday and I am still sick. They went right through me within 2 hours of eating them so you would think they would be out of my system by now. I was sick all day on day 1, woke up with a migrain on day 2 and the stomach... -
ARCHIVED Heinz "safe" Foods List
JustMe75 posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I just got an email from Heinz regarding their products and I thought I would pass it along. I don't know if it's already posted on here somewhere, but I didn't see it. Thank you for your interest in Heinz Products. We certainly understand how difficult it can be to find foods that meet the requirements of a restricted diet. As you requested... -
ARCHIVED Kc Masterpiece Bbq Sauce?
JustMe75 replied to ptkds's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I just got an email from Heinz with a list of their gluten free products. They also sent a recipe for a gluten-free bar b que sauce. I had emailed them about Ore Ida potatoes and found out they are part of Heinz. FYI the new Ore Ida Roasted potatoes are NOT gluten free. I stupidly ate them yesterday (I looked at their online list but thought because... -
ARCHIVED Diagnosis Based On Diet Response
JustMe75 replied to JustMe75's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I keep telling myself I don't need an official diagnosis but there are so many times where it would help to say I have a diagnosis of something that can be "real" to the rest of the world. Nobody could know how I feel when I eat something with gluten except me so the only one this is real to is me. I can tell people and some try to understand that if I eat... -
ARCHIVED Diagnosis Based On Diet Response
JustMe75 posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I know I have seen a few people that said their doctor diagnosed them with Celiac based on their dietary response. I was just wondering because I had negative blood work and decided not to do the biopsy but did have a major response to the diet. I assumed I was "gluten intollerant" but was curious what made some doctors call it celiac and not gluten sensitivity... -
ARCHIVED Flour Tortilla Replacement
JustMe75 replied to JustMe75's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Yes you can have peanut butter (probably not all brands though). I know Skippy says on their website they are gluten free, thats the kind I eat. From what I have read most popcorn looks ok. I did see somewhere that Act II extreme butter is not ok. But most others seem to be. -
ARCHIVED Hot Cereals
JustMe75 replied to JustMe75's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I haven't seen the cream of rice yet, I musta missed it. I will look again. I did see the cream of buckwheat but was nervous to try it because I wasn't sure what buckwheat was. This has turned my food world upside down. I was a total creature of habit and only ate a handful of things (I knew I was picky but didn't know I was so narrow minded when it... -
Has anyone found a hot cereal that tastes similar to cream of wheat? I tried one called Rice and Shine and I don't know if I did something wrong but it was awful. It tasted like ground up rice that wasn't cooked, it never got soft. Now that its cold I miss my hot cereals. I thought instead of buying a bunch of bad and expensive gluten-free things I end up...

ARCHIVED Flour Tortilla Replacement
JustMe75 replied to JustMe75's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Well thanks for all the replys. I was afraid this might be the answer I would get though Just like good bread could make a sandwich great, a good flour tortilla was the best! I think I still might be going through some food mourning so maybe I will forget what they tasted like, and the rice kind that I thought kinda tasted like I had wrapped my egg... -
ARCHIVED What Id The Genetic Trst Called?
JustMe75 replied to JustMe75's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Thank you, I will give him that link. Maybe he will be able to help someone else with his newfound knowledge! Sorry about my typos in the first post. I was running out the door to take my kids to school but was hoping to get an answer for my doctor today. -
ARCHIVED What Id The Genetic Trst Called?
JustMe75 posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
My doctor is going to do the celic genetic blood test on me but doesn't know what the test is called. He admits he has no knowledge on celiac disease but wants to help me answer my own questions. Can anyone tell me what the test is called? He is also going to run a food allergy blood test to see about other reactions I should look into, but doesn't... -
ARCHIVED Mouth Sores... Any Ideas? Please !
JustMe75 replied to Aimee D.'s topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I have never had mouth sores like that but I get canker sores, cold sores and the corner of my mouth splits when I am run down and I take Lysine pills (an amino acid) and swear they cut the healing time in half. My daughter used to get cold sores so bad she has scars on her lips and as soon as she was old enough to swallow a pill I started giving them to... -
Has anyone ever made a flour tortilla replacement that tastes close to the real thing? I miss breakfast burritos alot and I don't like corn tortillas nearly as much. I remember seeing someone on here had gotten a tortilla press and made corn tortillas, can you make flour tortillas? Or, is there a good gluten-free tortilla I can buy? Thanks!!

ARCHIVED Barely Low Iga Levels
JustMe75 posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
My daughters doctor gave me a copy of her blood tests and I have a couple questions. Her celiac panel was all negative but her total IgA was low, barely low. The range is 57-300 mg and hers was 56. What does that mean? The dr said it didn't mean anything. She also had a class 2 reaction to dairy (moderate reaction). Not sure if one has anything to do with... -
ARCHIVED Does Dh Itch All The Time?
JustMe75 replied to JustMe75's topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis
Thank you for the reply. I didn't think it was in the right place to be DH but wasn't sure. I don't think heat rash because it is almost constant but seems to flare up at times. I think it is food related more then laundry soap because it is actually where clothes aren't touching her (like throat to jaw line) mostly. I will try the dairy and gluten free to... -
ARCHIVED Help, What Am I Reacting To
JustMe75 posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Yesterday I has some Tostitos with Tostitos Salsa Con Queso (nacho cheese) and I felt like I ate something with gluten. Bad stomach pain, headache, overwhelming depression, tired, my eyes burned. I couldn't figure it out because their website says gluten free. Well today I was finally feeling better and I ate some Tapioca pudding (which I have never tried... -
I posted this in another topic but it was with other stuff and I didn't get much of a response. My youngest daughter (11) has a rash on her neck that has been there for about 6-8 months that looks like a million little pimples, some flesh color, some white heads, some red. She said they itch terrible but not all the time (probably not even most of the...

ARCHIVED My Daughters Tests
JustMe75 replied to JustMe75's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I haven't talked to her doctor yet, but he did say on the message no more, forever. I don't know if thats because if it makes her sick she obviously shouldn't have it or if it will actually do damage to her if she does. She asked me if she will be allowed to "cheat" sometimes and I told her I wasn't sure yet. If it's not going to do long term damage and only... -
ARCHIVED My Daughters Tests
JustMe75 replied to JustMe75's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Thank you! I feel very alone in this sometimes. I look around in restaurants and think... like 1 in 100 have this, someone here must be going through this too. I wish I could just spot them in public. We all need a big gluten-free on our foreheads! I will look for that cook book. I'm sure this will get easier. -
ARCHIVED My Daughters Tests
JustMe75 posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
We just got back from vacation last night and my 14 yr old daughters dr had left a message regarding her blood test results. A week ago I asked him to do the celiac panel on her to see if that is whats causing her stomach pain, constipation and a few other symptoms. He did and said he was going to do the "childhood allergy panel" as well. Well he said...
