    Thanks Bunnie. You and ww340 are the only people on here to EVER answer a question or a post I've had on this forum. I'm going to the grocery store tomorrow and plan on trying this recipe this weekend.

    I posted on here on Sunday, somewhere, how well we were treated at the Outback on the West Side last Friday night. They even had Redbridge AND New Grist beers. We've been to Bunky's, albeit before we knew about my celiac, now we'll have to go back and try their gluten-free menu items. We HAVE had their pizza, found it at Woodman's, and the crust was made...

    I made pancakes yesterday from a basic cookbook recipe substituting white rice flour and Splenda. They were delicious, light and fluffy.

    Geez...I've NEVER had problems with gluten-free pasta...now y'all have me worried it could yet happen to me. Maybe I better go upstairs and see what brand I have and let you know! All I remember is you boil it for 6 minutes, and you're not supposed to rinse it.

    What IS "xantham gum"? What does it do? Is it essential to the recipe? How about the sugar? We have no sugar in the house, would honey work? Or can I leave it out altogether?? I seem to remember it's in there to "feed" the yeast. True?

    But, back to the original question, does anyone have a RECIPE?? As in not a box or mix. I've been trying to make bread in our bread machine by tweaking the original recipes that came with the machine, with disastrous results.

    A big kudos to the Outback Steakhouse on the west side of Madison. We were there with friends Friday night, and our waiter couldn't have been more helpful. Not only do they have a seperate gluten free menu, they even have both gluten free beers!! We didn't even think to ask him that, I mean, how many restaurants have gluten free beer, but our friend suggested...

    Very cool!! Thanks for the lists, they will come in very handy :-) That's interesting about the dairy, where can I find more info about Celiac and dariy products? My Dr. told me that Dairy products are just fine.

    Is there such a thing as a Ciliac "Bible" a book or paper that lists all of the foods (even by brand name) that are safe for Ciliac sufferers, as well as a list of the no no foods for us, being brand new at this, I'm trying to get all the info I can. It just don't make sence to think you are eating something safe, and find out later that it's not. ...

    Thanks, good info evrybody I'll check these out. One question tho, what does cutting dairy out do? as it's non-gluten and my Dr. did a bone scan and said I was borderline osteoporosis and put me on calcium and vitamin D, I'm thinking the more calcium I get the better. Being from Wisconsin I eat a lot of cheese and drink gallons of milk... I don't own a...

    Being as I'm new to this disease, I've been on the no gluten diet for a month now and feel the same as before . The wierd thing for me is, besides the "foggyness" and being dizzy and light headed is, my face and mostly my lips are numb most of the time. Has anyone had that? I also need a sleeping pill each night, or I don't sleep very long. So how...

    We're new also, husband (whose username this is) was just diagnosed by biopsy a couple weeks ago. So far I've tried rice flour in two instances, cheese sauce, and corn bread, and they both turned out well. I like the softness and finer texture it has. We haven't gotten to Trader Joe's or Whole Foods yet, so hopefully when we do we'll find other things. We...

    Hmmm....good point.
  14. Johnny Cool
    Ever since I started telling people I've been diagnosed with Celiac Disease and that I'm soooo bummed I can no longer drink beer because of the wheat, I've had a ton of people say "Drink Budweiser! It's made from rice!" Is this true?? Or is it an Urban Legend? I've had their Redbridge Beer, which is fine when I'm at home, but I don't find it in a bar or...

    Know any that aren't chains? I s'pose that's too much to ask for....

    Have a GREAT time at the Outback Bowl, we sure did the last time our Badgers went, in 2005!! We love Tampa/St. Pete. In fact, we're going to Clearwater Beach/Sand Key next week Wednesday!! So we're hoping somebody answers your question! There's another one on this topic under "Vacation in Key West". I hope some native Floridians answer one of these threads...

    I had the day off too, I work in child care, we closed. We're 'sconnies too!! Jill
  18. Johnny Cool
    Yeah, but without the bun AND the breading!?! it'll be tough. Some friends of ours from up nort' here live in Indian Shores during our nasty weather season and he's big into volleyball too! You've probably played with or against him!! As per your original question about frozen drinks, I read somewhere that all of TGIF's frozen drinks are, so hopefully they...

    I was surprised to read this, because the list I got from the doctor said no sauces whatsoever, and I LOVE SBR!!!! So I emailed them, and got a reply right away, and it's SAFE!! YAY!!!!!!
  20. Johnny Cool
    I hope someone answers you, and SOON!! We leave for Sand Key (Clearwater Beach) next week Wednesday!! NO GROUPER SANDWICHES???????? AAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! (Love Key West too, btw)

    We're new to this too, my husband, whose user name etc. this is, has been told by 2 docs, one oncology/hematology expert and one gastroenterologist, that he most likely has celiac's, his biopsy is tomorrow. He also has Grave's Disease, and an undiagnosed fertility problem. Related? I'm guessing so. His mother is diabetic too. His only "symptom" was anemia...

    I HATE snow!!!!!!!! Too bad that's all I see out my window!!!!!!! School's are all closed, roads nearly impassable... My husband is out in it, he is a service rep so he goes where they call him. This snow-every-three-days thing better quit by next Wednesday, we're flying to Tampa to meet our daughter coming from NYC for Christmas!!!!! If I can't get out of...

    "Strict" Adkins', as in the beginning two weeks, by it's very definition is gluten free. No alcohol, no bread, pasta, rice, potatoes, sugar, milk, all you get is meat, eggs, cream, and very little vegetables. After inception, you get to add in vegetables and fruit, but still no starchy foods like bread, etc. If someone is on Adkins' and is eating bread, even...
