i-miss-cookie-dough

hey guys! its been forever : ) doing good though. quick question - i have been eating trader joes' frozen "chicken vindaloo" meal for lunch lately. it appears to be gluten free but doesn't say so on the packaging. just thought i would double check here. thanks!

LARA BARS!!!!! they are amazing!! i love the cashew cookie, the pb cookie, the apple pie - they are only made with like 2 to 4 ingredients. i think the cashew cookie bar has CASHEWS, DATES! thats ALL!!!!!! i love them so much. i have also found some AMAZING baked good/bread items from almondglory foods - Open Original Shared Link...

so after being diagnosed with celiac disease and being told i had to eat gluten-free FOREVER, i thought my days of muffins or a toasted bagel with pb were OVER. (or at least ones that tasted GOOD!!!) but all that changed when i discoverd this brand - ALMOND GLORY! www.almondglory.net 818.683.4303 i heard about it thru my nutritionist...

hi everyone - my huzzband and i went to a friend's house for a bbq on sunday. (its now wednesday.) our friend asked me if there was anything i couldn't eat besides gluten -- so i thought i was safe! we ended up having a delish flank steak (no hamburgers and dogs at this bbq!) well, i was helping our host cut the steak before we sat down...

so, i have been munching on these GLUTEN FREE soy crips from whole foods all week. AND feeling crappy in the tummy all week - nausea, stomach aches, bloating = annoying. feel pretty much like i used to feel when i ate gluten! laid off the crisps yesterday and felt ok. was snacking on them today and pow! the annoying stomach aches are...

you got that right!! AND, almond glory ships - fyi! and seriously, the bagels are the highlight of my glutenfree dining life: )

ok, gluten-freer's -- i HAD to share i just got married 2 weeks and 1 day ago and had THE MOST BEAUTIFUL and DELISH WEDDING CAKE EVER!!!! AND it was gluten-free, of course!!! i wish i could put a pic in here b/c it was so stunning. and ppl were RAVING! and they didn't even know it was gluten free!! the bakery is called le crumb (aka my cake...

thanks you two!!! but that doesn't mean i can go back to eating gluten, right? its funny b/c when i told my friends that i am now testing positive - they were like "GREAT! so now we can go out for pizza!!!" not true though, right???

so, now i test negative for celiac. what does that mean?? anything???

been off the gluten for like 8 months. i had my blood tested again 6 months after diagnosis and again last week. i HATE having blood taken and usually get a little clammy or whatever, though other times i am perfectly fine. however, the two times i have had it taken since i have been off the gluten, my body has completely freaked out...

you guys are gluten free rockstars! thank you so much for your feedback! going to a. get on the vitamins. b. try and lay off the prepared food and cook????? : ) c. keep my chin up and know that health is a comin!!

verrrrrrrrrry interesting. b/c i dont ever get like "GI issues" so i never thought i was that sensitive. b/c i never really have like these sudden dramatic physical reactions! but maybe the fact that i am in a pretty constant state of nausea and fatigue - is just MY body's way of being sensitive. can't wait to read that celiac book you...

thanks so much for the feedback. and you know, maybe i am NOT as careful with some things - wooden spoons, toasters, etc. as i should be... or not as insistant in restaurants as i should be. and when i make food that other ppl have cooked - i never know how careful THEY were. you know? AND, i DO eat a lot of stuff from the prepared...

thanks so much, happy g! i still have hope. so, do you think that some body's continue to be symptomatic until all celiac positive-ness is gone? do you really think that i could feel better after i am negative? (and when the test DOES come back negative, i still have the disease, right?) confusing. but trying to hang in. and...
