    For some reason I am craving and can actually taste it in my mind (so to speak) fun fetti cake mix. When it is all mixed up and ready to go into the oven. Not sure why my body/brain picked this to crave and remeber at the moment. Even before I new I had to go gluten-free I hadn't had it in probably close to a year. If only it were the baking part that made...

    Is is normal to have a drastic drop in appitite? I'm 2 months gluten-free and my appitite is no existant. I like that I am losing weight (I am overweight) but if this isn't normal I'll need to see yet another doctor to see what is going on. It is so nice to have a place where we can come and ask questions. It has made the transisition alot easier so to...

    I found a couple of receipes that are gluten-free but they call for xanthan gum. I have idea what it si and where I can get it. Can you get it from a grocery store or do you have to go to a speacialty shop (the kind that you can buy cake pans and decorating materials)?

    Thanks everyone. Hearing everyones experience has really helped me in not feeling like I need mental help I think I'm going to try and make a gluten free cake. My husband bought one at the store (not sure which brand since it is something new to try) and I found an icing that doesn't have gluten in it so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

    Last night my husband made some croissant rolls to go with some home made soup he made. He has been great in getting my gluten free stuff for me to eat and really goes out of his way to find good tasting stuff. I told him to go ahead and make them. That was a big mistake. It smelled soooooooo good. I sat in the kitchen sniffing them remebering what they tasted...

    I went to the Allergist yesterday and I tested negative for an allergy to wheat. He said he thinks I had a false negative on my blood test since being gluten free has improved my symptoms greatly. On one hand I want to be able to eat all the "normal" stuff and not worry about what is in it, but on the other hand I don't really miss is that much. Only...

    Not sure if I am going to go or not. It is at the Marriot Convention Center (which I guess is part of the hotel). I was planning on going but then I started thinking of what they had last year. It is in a different hotel so the food may be different but it will probably be basically the same. Based on last years food I would now be able to eat cheese and...

    Hi--its my understanding that the test is only accurate if you are still eating the gluten. I don't know about the month thing however--if that is in the ball park or not. But your body's reaction seems to be more to the point. You at least have a very definite allergy. Testing isn't always accurate. What kind of test did you have by the way??

    When done with tests, I suggest you

    Have you been checked for a possible bowl obstruction or to see if your intestines are slightly twisted? It could by a partial obstruction. I have lupus and about 6 years ago (before I had an allergy to wheat) I would have similar symptoms. What had happened was that the lupus was attacking my intestines and it was causing them to slowly die. Thank God that...

    I'm waiting for the Secretary at my Allergist to call back ( not until after 2). I need to start getting my allergy shots again. I stopped due to being busy and taking time off from work but my eyes are starting to itch and swell so it is time to go back. Anyhoo.....I was talking to the nurse at the allergist because I want to get tested for shelfish allergy...

    I had to laugh as this weekend my daughter had a box of doughnuts and I just opened the box a bit and sat there smelling it. She came in and looked at me like I had gone crazy. This has been the weekend of smelling the things I can't have

    Thanks! They were definately dredged in flour or cc as my stomach is really hurting and the bloating has begun. I guess since I'm three weeks or so on my Gluten free lifestyle I will still make some errors and with this reaction I will definately learn from them!! I will have to try making them at home as well. Instead of spicey maybe so garlic potato...

    Please tell me that they are not coated in flour. I can't tell. They are the kind that you get at the grocery store at the deli counter where the "hot" convenince food is. I've had three of them so far as it looked like they weren't dreadged in anthing. Now that I'm looking at someothers it looks like it may have been

    All last week and then today people are bringing in cookies and cakes and tons of stuff with gluten. I think that the evil glute is out to get me It's a conspiracy I tell you!

    I was thinking about gettting it but wasn't sure if it was a waste of money or not. Please let me know any likes or dislikes of the book if you have it/read it/heard about it. Thanks!

    I'm bringing my own dressing. I've ordered some gluten free bread and will my dad use that to make me my own home made stuffing. I've been gluten free for about two weeks so this will be my first holiday gluten free. Both my family will have probably ham along with the turkey so that is fine and then my in-laws usually have prime rib. The one thing I am going...

    Thank-you all!!!!!! I was talking with my mom (who is the nurse for the other doctor in the practice I go to for primary care) and she and my primary doctor said that if it keeps the pain and other stuff away then follow it. I haven't felt this good in I don't know how long.

    You may need to get Potassium supplements (prescription - K-Dur is what I have to take). I had kidney failure and then a transplant and if I have too little or to much potassium I get those kinds of cramps. They make your muscles sore for about a day or so. I actually have to stand up and put all my weight on the foot that has the cramping toes. I would...

    I've only been on a gluten free diet for a week now. I was at my sister-in-law's house Saturday and they got Famous Daves for dinner. I was like I can eat that stuff it's meat. I had three bites and was in such pain and discomfort. I started to read the barbeque sause packet and it has wheat in it. I know I'm new to this and won't know a lot of stuff that...

    I am craving a candy bar. What candy bars are gluton free?
  21. Kathy'sUnicorns
    I have been following the gluten free diet for 3 days now and have no pain and no bloating. I also feel more energetic. Could it possibly be an allergy without being Celiac? Anyone else have a negative blood test but did have Celiac?

    Hi all; I had my blood test done Saturday and they still don't have the results back. This is my second day of being gluten free and I feel like a new person. On Monday I had left over japaneese steak house food (a last time out there if positive) for lunch. I was feeling so out of it. I felt drugged up, I couldn't concentrate on anything for an hour...
