    I NEVER eat anything deepfried (french fries, etc) in a fast food place because they fry other things in the oil that have gluten in them or ON them. I rarely go to any fast food place but I have been to Hardees and ordered their lo-carb char-broiled hamburger with tomato, cheese. It is wrapped in a lettuce leaf and is very tasty. I never get any reaction...

    You might want to consider Hypothyroidism!! I have been Hyper or hypo since I was ten and I am waaaaaaaay past that now. I was undiagnoised with Celiac for over 40 years and have been gluten free for 10. I feel fine with lots of energy but since I had constant diahrrea for all those years and was anemic due to lack of absorption and also very thin,...

    My favorite gluten free bread is Kinnikinnick white bread. When toasted, it tastes like "real" bread. I buy it in Kroger and it is from a company in Canada.

    I had a really bad reaction last week to something and I am thinking that it may be the vitamins. Tomorrow I call every number on every bottle. I feel like I HAVE to take vitamins to compensate for all the nutrients that go straight through me!!! Since I was diagnosed eight years ago, I think that I have gotten worse. Or maybe it's because the whole world...

    My hands shake when my thyroid becomes more hyper and I need to adjust my meds. You might want to get tested.

    I developed Restless Legs several months ago and was driving my husband crazy because I would kick out and thrash while I was sleeping. My gyn prescribed Requipp which works great!!! The normal dosage is 1 mg. However, she prescribed .25mg to begin and work up to 4 tablets slowly. However, I found that I do fine on 2 or 3 about 2 or 3 hours before bedtime...

    I found that I can sleep 8 or 9 hours at night (up a time or 2 for bathroom) but have a lot of energy during the day. However, I take a lot of vitamins to compensate. My husband, however, who is diabetic, can not stay awake when his blood suger is high. You might want to check your blood suger sometime. Those of us with autoimmune stuff such as whacco...

    Why shouldn't you have turkey and dressing? I make my own dressing using gluten-free corn meal and gluten-free flour mix to make the cornbread (with eggs, onion powder, soda, gluten-free baking powder and buttermilk. Then use the cornbread with chopped celery, chopped onions, eggs and broth to make the dressing. I used to add mushroom soup to my dressing...

    I have only been diagnosed four years but have had diarrhea for 40 years with no known cause. ( lots of doctors guessed at a cause, stress, cancer, etc. !!!!!!!) However, I have never been depressed , although was very anemic and was very thin,. I think the fact that I have always taken lots of vitamins and supplements was what kept me alive and kicking...

    Hi, I get some of my flours from a health food store, some from Kroger and have ordered some from a company in California, Expensive but they go a long way. I also like to mix the flours in plastic bags and have them ready to use. Some of the rice pasta is tough , but the Thai noodles ( in the foreign food section) is very good and tender . Even...

    Hi, I just wrote you a long note and then lost it somewhere. I was diagnosed with celiac disease four years ago after 40 years of diarrhea. It is a constant challenge to read obscure labels or to call companies who don't really understand what gluten is. My husband is diabetic and I watch his diet as well as mine, eventhough he doesn't always want...

    Check to see if Hormel makes an italian sausage. Their pepperoni clearly states that it is gluten free, which stands to reason that they might make other products which are also. Rose

    see the reply that I printed above about vanilla.

    I ordered gluten-free vanilla powder from one of the companies listed in the back of a Bette Hagman gluten-free cookbook and it is great. However, I made my own by filling a small jar with potato vodka and putting a vanilla bean in it. After about a month, I had great vanilla flavoring. I was delighted to read about Mccormicks however. I just always...

    I always had low iron but it is much better now. Why don't you make it a practice to eat something everyday which is high in iron. Perhaps a grilled hamberger with cheese and a soft fried egg on top. Yummy! or a small steak or some type of beef. Liver is very high in iron but many people don't like that. (I do!) If you try to go the mostly veggie diet...

    I thought that distilled white vinegar was distilled from wheat!!! you might want to check that out. I always use apple cider vinegar or wine vinegar or rice vinegar As to keeping the bread from going bad. just give up and freeze it and plan to eat it toasted.. It taste better toasted anyway. I usually bake in smaller pans so that I can make several...

    White wheat bread is poison. White rice bread is like a hocky puck. I have found that a mix (usually 4 ) of gluten make a fairly decent white bread. In the freezer section of special foods at Kroger, the pecan bread is pretty good. I love the rye bread (using flavoring, not real rye) in the Baking Bread by BettyHagman. It had a wonderful flavor...

    After 3 or 4 years on this diet (I've lost count!) I still have diarrhea but my iron count is higher. I'm not skinny like I used to be. I have always taken a lot of vitamins and supplements and always thought of myself as a healthy person even though I have a very unstable thryoid, hyper when I was young and mostly hypo now. Since everything seems to run...

    I was 61 when I was diagnosed with celiac disease. I was having trouble swollowing and was sent for an endoscopy. When the gastroenterologist asked me if I knew that I had celiac sprue, I didn't even know what it was. Seem that my villia were totally flat. I had diarrhea and weight loss for over 40 years and have had many x-rays, etc, to discover cause...
