    Hi all, May 20,2008 Sorry not been around lately. Life just got busy for my family with a new addition of "muddy feet." We got a puppy 2 weeks ago, so I've been rather busy with the housetraining and constant clean up of dog ownership. The kids are happy, the home is in chaos , as the hours needed for puppy toileting matters can happen at any time of...

    HI imbleu That would be an interesting question to have answered. What about people whom work in the food service industries, and the cross contamination issues? It sounds like this has just happened a couple of times, which I think is pretty good considering where you work. Just my own thoughts I mean. Just wondering does your gluten-free lifestyle...

    Hi shacon_bacon (by the way, cute nickname) I would agree with MamaGoose, that it would not make a difference how much gluten you ingested, it's the chain reaction factor. MamaGoose would be more familiar to such questions than I. However based on my own experience, of being gluttened twice, the 2nd time round, the reaction was far more severe and...

    Hi babysteps; Thank you for the support & reply. My husband is getting better as time goes on. He might say the odd thing in a joking manner, but I think he is starting to get it now The odd time now, he will even say, forgive me, if I forget "you are gluten free" don't get upset. Odd time he'll offer to get me something from the store, and I'll...

    Hi Lucy Lou, First off, Welcome to the forum boards. I, myself am 44 years old, and just finished this year, going through what was probably one of my more stressful times. I am just 2 months in now, into the gluten-free lifestyle, by doctor's orders. I don't have an official celiac diagnoses, but through blood work tests and dietary responses, my...

    Hi sherie, Here's a few sites to help you out. They give menu ideas, so you know what "basics" to shop for. I did get GNC women's vitimans last month, but had to stop taking them as they contain "barley grass" listed in the extra ingredient sections. Not sure on the Luna bars, sorry. the first link is tips of eating gluten-free , tons of tips for making...

    Hi Wonka and all, Unfortunately I checked again today, to see if there was a email from that company, who's products I use all the time (for a newbie gluten-free person I mean ) but alias there was still no reply. This past week I got from the library the book "The Gluten Free Gourmet Cooks Comfort Foods" Bette Hagman. I'm sure most of you are familiar...

    Hi stolly, This site link will be useful for you, I personally don't use nailpolish, and not a Revlon or Cover Girl user. I'm using Physicians Formula. I made that move due to switching to contacts after years of eyeglasses, so I need hypo allergic things as a contact wearer. Also, cause my son has broken my glasses a few times on me. None of the...

    Hi KristaleeJane Welcome to the Forums. You may think that you simply "wash" things away but think about the amount of times in one day, you touch your hair, scratch your face, etc. Here are a couple of links that help. I agree to Ursa and GlutenGalAZ, I got the Dove hairspray, once I learned what foreign words to look for. I was spraying gluten on myself...

    Thank you all for suggestions, I probably will email a few companies; however I know it can take forever to get a response back, if they do at all. thank you very much celiac-mommy for typing out those ingredients, That must have took you FOREVER it was appreciated. GlutenGalAZ thanks for the Banana Boat suggestion, by the way, my daughter...

    Hi jvalentine89 I would just return the product. Do not feel embarassed that you need to return them. Just explain due to a food allergy, you were unaware this product contained glutened sources, and you are unable to eat them. Most places want you as a return customer, I've returned things like packages of coffee to a supermarket, because my husband got...

    Hi stolly date, Flaxseed is an excellent protein source it contains 20 grams of protein per 100 grams (just under 1/2 cup). Not to mention, essential fatty acids, 45.6 grams of dietary fibre per cup, and many other health benefits too numerous to mention. On a comparive note: Whole wheat flour contains 14.6 grams of Dietary Fibre per cup. As most...

    Hi Wonka, First off, Happy Belated Birthday, Sorry to hear you are not feeling well due to the anemia. I hope that is soon resolved. Good idea on making your own cakes to share with your friends. But, then I know how you love to cook I have still not heard back from that company in terms of any tips for the bread, or using a stand up mixer...

    Hi, Just wondering as it is that upcoming season. Which brands of sunscreen and tan in a bottle do you use? With all these "hidden" glutens in items like lotions etc. I'm just curious as to what brands are gluten free. I am pale toned, I burn very easily, so due to these factors, I tend to use sunscreens, wear long sleeves shirts a lot, and fake the tan...

    Thank you pinkscooby For the extenisve list of many things I thought were on the NO NO list. I know I recently read the Pringles label and found out they do have "wheat" listed. But, at least it was listed. I tend to stick to low salt plain potatoe chips and tortilla chips. Interesting to know now I can add things like Cheetos. Which I might feel like once...

    First off congrats, Corfuwriter, Amazing 53, and returning to the Kickboxing and bodybuilding. Its' nice to know that someone esle feels like those protein drinks has helped them out. I did them for 2 years while I worked out an hour a day. They not only helped me with energy levels, I found I just was full enough on the one drink at lunch time. However...

    Hi Octoberme, I agree with Ursa, and by the way, welcome back Ursa, I hope your trip/visit went well. ... From what I've seen here on the forums, there are a number of people here, that seemed to believe they had it, had the symptons, and basically played dective doctor on their own to find out if it did Truly affect them. For many of them too, it seems...

    Good Luck MELINE I hope this self gluttening gives you the results you want. I think in your case as your family does NOT seem to support your gluten free lifestyle (from what I've read). this would be the "proof" you need to get them to Understand. Although my doc. took me by word of mouth. There was a part of me, (despite the illness it would cause...

    Hi WhimsiKay, First off welcome to the forums. You're in the right place to gather advise, search for ?/a's and vent the odd day ( Lol) In terms of the gluttening >which you may believe happened to you recently. How long it lasts, how long it takes to react. Really depends on the person. It may have even been like you said a result of a booster...

    Hi again, cmichelle' I did some snooping tonight in regards to the protein drinks etc, this time with the search being "glutten free" versions. Back in the skinny days (pre-gluten free days too ) , I had 2 of those protein drinks a day. One at lunch time (either protein bar, or protein drink) and one after I worked out. The idea being that you are replacing...

    Hi all, I was doing some snooping tonight, on the net. When I came across a couple of sites some of you might find of interest. At the time I was looking for a recipe to make your own protein bars, and I came across this "flax seed" recipe one. It had some really good ideas on using up the flax seed. Flax seed has 20 gram/per/100 grams of protein...

    PS. Sorry, Momma Goose, Forgive me, I forgot to say > Sorry to hear that you were under a "flooding" emergency situation. I recall 3 odd years ago, when we had bad flooding (some ppl. had 5 feet of water, in city outskirts), how much it was not only physically but emotionally exhausting to endure. I am glad to hear you are well, and those close to...

    Thank you Momma Goose For the wonderful "shopping" list. As a newbie gluten free person, you feel like you are spending hours reading all the indregients. Thanks for the heads up that "Equate" vitimans in Walmart, marked with the "6" will list "gluten" as gluten My husband who still does not get the seriousness of myself going gluten free does most...

    Hi ruby_slippers, First off, welcome to the forums. You are in the right place for information, support, encouragement as well as venting I hear you on a lot of issues, I was where you are about a month ago. I didn't find this forum till I was into my 2nd week. I haven't been diagnosed with Celiac, but like you there were some issues in my blood...
