ARCHIVED :unsure: How Often Does Cross Contamentation (sp) Happen In Grocery Stores.?
Ivanna44 replied to Ivanna44's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Thanks Wonka, For the suggestion on emailing them. This is a rather big chain grocery store, so I know they don't package their own flours. Same as you, I don't get my gluten-free flours from this close by, grocery store. I travel a bit to a local Organic Market, some things are more expensive, but at least all the gluten-free flour mixes are in one shelving... -
ARCHIVED Bread Baking Tips
Ivanna44 replied to shanluts's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Thanks for the tips! Shannon, We all need any suggestion we can get, to help with the "bricks of clay" lol. When you place the iron skillet in the oven, with the bread. Is it under it? or Beside it? Just clarifying thanks -
ARCHIVED Rice Krispies?
Ivanna44 replied to buckeyenc5's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Hi buckeyenc5, Stay away from the Kelloggs' Rice Krispies, Corn Flakes. A no-no. When in doubt, always double check, by calling the 1-800# of the product. Better to be sure The only rice krispies cereal I have heard of, are Nature's Path and Gluten Free Pantry. Most cereals that are gluten free, have it labeled on the front of the box. I got some rice... -
ARCHIVED What To Eat When Sick?
Ivanna44 replied to jayhawkmom's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Hi jayhawkmom, Sorry to hear you are fighting some sort of ailment. Health Valley Soups are supposely gluten-free , you can look for their "organic broths" theres a chicken and beef one. Then you can add you own noodles; veggies etc. CeleFibR does soup cubes too in vegetarian beef, vegetarian chicken, and vegetable melody. El Peto also does dry mixes of... -
Hugs Nan2N And welcome to the forums. You are in the right place for support; venting and just encouragement too. I'm not sure how long it will take you to start to regain weight. Each person is individualized. Going totally 100% gluten free does take time; it's hidden in so many unthought of places/foods. It's a learned knowledge. Its a shame your doctor...

Ivanna44 replied to goldshadow's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Welcome again, goldshadow Glad to see you are snooping around the site forums. There's even a search thing, where you can pose a question (think at bottom of each posting) and see if it has been potentially answered before. Your children (agree with Meline) are lucky to have a mom so supportitive. But, then again most mom's are.. its our job to be protective... -

Ivanna44 posted a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Hi All, This was a concern my husband brought to my attention. He went to our local grocery store, to pick up some bits on Friday. This whole new gluten sensitivy for me is new to me. At first he'd joke around about it. But, I think he is starting ot get it now. :) Anyway, he came home and asked me If I wanted him too, he'd go and log a complaint about... -
Hi shacon_bacon, Welcome to the forums. You are at the right place. Is you daughter also exhibiting signs of gluten sensitivities. It can be really hard, which I'm sure some members will agree, when you are the only one in the house with it. Just make sure you do little things like "wash" your hands, if you prepared something for your daughter (gluten...

Hi goldshadow, Welcome to the forum too. I see this was your first posting. That's what this forum is for, support and somewhere to vent when needed. :) I agree with home_based_mom. This is something that should definately be brought in the pre marriage counselling. This is a "forever" issue. It is a shame that the restaurant is not willing to accomindate...

Hi Wakeboarder, Welcome to the "gluten free gang" so to speak. As Ursa said you might be best to scrub the pots well. If the pans have tight corners, you will need to consider buying new ones. I personally as yet, do not have my own toaster. I am just at the moment trying to get by with buying the stuff I need. I can't do it all at once. So...

Tsk, Tsk , Meline, Just kidding. One you don't smoke. I'm surprised you didn't throw up. I'm not sure the on the gluten factor of cigerattes, (to me right now, everything even the air we breathe has gluten in it) but I'm just coming to terms with this whole gluten free thing. I smoke <<yes, bad girl I know. Cigeratte smoking increases acid...

Hi Parifete, Do you wear eyewear? When was the last time you had your eyes examined? Or have you recently changed eyewear? If it was just headaches, i'd say any # of reasons, from withdrawl symptons to environmental factors, like changes in barometeric pressure. People who commonly suffer migranes, often have their worse kind with any type of weather...

ARCHIVED Substitute For Eggs
Ivanna44 replied to johnsoda2's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Hi Johnsoda2 Supposedly ground flaxseed is a substitue for eggs. Add 3 TBsp ground flaxseed to 1/2 cup plus 1 TBsp boiling water, let sit for 15 mins, then whisk with fork.. It is supposedly equalivant to 3 eggs. So if you need just one egg, I guess you could 1/3 it. Good luck -
ARCHIVED Gluten Free/dairy Free Mac A Cheese
Ivanna44 replied to Nic's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Hi Nic, I'm not sure where you are located. I'm presuming the States due to the "Tinkyada" pasta label, I've not seen that in Canada. As yet. This is link might help. I am new to the gluten free gang. But, this is a product line from a gluten free dairy free bakery that makes tons of stuff, even donuts! They have a good variety of kid appealing items like... -
ARCHIVED I'll Be Gone For Two Weeks, Starting Tomorrow
Ivanna44 replied to Ursa Major's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Hi Ursa Major, Have a fun and safe trip. I agree with the hockey guy; get ready for some snow banks. I have family back in southern Ontario, and they've complained to me a # of times about the "excess" snow they've gotten this year. I hope your trip will be full of hugs, fond memories and many pictures taking moments. I look forward to your postings... -
Hi ChicoYaYa, Perhaps host a gluten free tea party. Just a thought. There are tons of food items that are gluten free naturally... As for the work, and the muffin treats. Bake some in bulk, freeze it, if you are lucky enough to have freezer storage at work. Maybe bring in extras to pop in the freezer there. If someone at work, knows all the gluten...

Hi Ki Ki 29, The books sound very interesting. I will see if they are available at the local public library. I have heard on more than one site, about the gluten being higher now in products. I have not tested positive for celiac. But, I have a very good doctor, who suspected the gluten sensitivity because of a lot of excessive stomach acid I have (ulcer...

ARCHIVED Glue Bricks (i Mean Bread)
Ivanna44 replied to SpikeMoore's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Hi SpikeMoore, The glue bricks, the bricks of clay (that be mine haha). I've made rice bread from premade mixes twice now. The first time I made it I goofed and added 2 tablespoons of yeast, instead of the 2 tsp's called for. Oddly enough, it turned out better (although on the dry side) the first time I made it, with the extra yeast. The second time I... -

Ivanna44 replied to curlyfries's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Welcome Lisa (curlyfries) You are in the right place, there seems to be quite a bit of support here. I know I searched for a while to find a support chat/forum [but at last most had pay only entrance]. So thank goodness this is here. :D [three cheers for the forum creators] I recall from one posting that it takes as long as 3 weeks being totally gluten... -
Hi Shawn, Ahhhhh the carvings!!!!!!! I'm just 3 weeks gluten-free and the first week was the worst. Every night I'd cheat in some way or another. The dang "Corn Pops" kept starring at me. nasty things. lol. It's like popcorn to me. Yes, I know I can have popcorn. Maybe it would help if you had some other "fast" ideas that could help when you are out...

Ivanna44 posted a topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Hi all, I have been 3 weeks gluten free now. I am in Calgary. My doctor suggested I try out the gluten free after some readings on a bunch of blood tests made her feel it was worth the shot, going gluten free to see if it helped out my stomach. So here I am.. and ty again to the welcomes I received from other areas of this forum. I am a mom,...
