    Heather~ Tuna fish? Yes! StarKist Gourmet's Choice Tuna Fillet: Solid light tuna, water, salt. I had to look thru all the cans in the store to find it, but it's the only one we eat! Hope you can find it, too! Connie

    Heather, My son is 6 also! He loves Poori --it's a fried bread from India, and it's super easy to make. Just search this site for "poori" for the recipe. He will eat regular, garlic, and brownsugar/cinnamon flavored. It's difficult to have to take away so many foods, but this poori recipe might be something he'll love! Good luck! Connie gluten...

    Hi Deb, I noticed that if I am low on calcium, I experience more sever cramping! Celiac disease quickly destroys the tips of the villi where the calcium/dairy is absorbed. Maybe if you could up your calcium levels, it would help your cramps! I take a calcium citrate powder supplement in my milk, or OJ, from NOW brand. Good luck! Connie...

    We had a small formal wedding and a larger very informal reception at our home. This is from the old message board: "I made the 2 cakes. The white wedding cake had 4 layers--the top 3 were my Pumpkin Bread/Cake recipe and the bottom layer--and groom's cake--were Bette Hagman's Carrot cake Supreme (one of her books ?). I made the frostings (C& H Butter...

    OOOh! You've got to try this!! Marshmallow/ Popcorn Treats! They are like Rice Krispy treats, ...but with popcorn! I don't have the recipe in front of me right now... but, you put butter in a Large pot, then melt Kraft Marshmallows (recipe on the bag for the rice krispy treats) in it, and when melted add salted homemade popcorn, stir, and don...

    I have Gestational diabetes... It's tough to eat right I eat a lot of veggies, cheeses, meats, as well as my hourly alotment of carbs! I've noticed that rice has mega carbs!! Especially the flour--and really the fine ground Asian style flour!!! (It's about triple that of wheat!!) I can only eat a small amount at a time... I just space them...

    The best cheese is from Cabot Farms! Open Original Shared Link I love the Hunter Sharp! If you have a Wal-mart near you, feel lucky--you can buy Cabot cheese there at a fraction of the regular price! (Their butter is great, too!) Cabot has spoiled me for other cheeses.... There is no way I can eat Kraft now! **Remember that shredded cheeses...

    I use my old recipies! I just substitute a mix of 1/2 regular white rice flour and 1/2 glutenous rice flour (super fine milled from an Asian food store) and they come out great!! Sometimes I play with the liquid content...I know what I want it to look like... And, I usually forget the xanthan gum entirely (just forgetfull!) My main secret is to cook...

    neopuss, I say "Go for it!" It's your special day and you should be able to have whatever you want! Will you have it catered, or cater it yourself? Some cities around the country actually have gluten-free bakeries--or someone who at least understands gluten-free... If you are doing it yourself, the best thing you can do is start practicing now...

    wildones, About the Purell, the second time I noticed it to be a problem for me, I was sitting at the computer first thing in the morning, put some on my hands (it was cold season) and, while thinking, put my fingers in my mouth... 20 minutes later I had my horrible "World's Worst 9-hour Stomach Ache"(my gluten reaction).... I hadn't eaten anything...

    Last year when I did a gluten-free food sampling at my freindly neighborhood healthfood store, many people would just walk by without looking (as people do when you have free stuff to give them!), but if I saw a particuarily unhealthy person--celiac looking--I just had to say, "Celiac?" And they would just turn and look to see what I had! I had a great...

    Oohh! Parties are tough! Ususally they are full of gluten, and the kids just can't control themselves! It's really tough to not sneak a bite of cake, candy, cookie, or something... I always make mini cupcakes to bring--and a beverage. That way we always have a yummy treat to eat! --and no one ever says no to more cupcakes! How about...

    After I went gluten-free, I noticed the same thing! I realized it happened more often when I ate soy. After the main food intolerence (gluten) has been eliminated, then the minor food allergies can show up. For me acne is the way my body tells me to avoid soy! Wonder what your secondary food allergies are?! Connie gluten-free since 1-'98
  20. Connie R-E
    Well, I'm a celiac who is soooo super sensitive that I definately cannot have any molecule of gluten!! I am lucky in a way, at least I react--many people do not, so they don't know if they are getting gluten and harming themselves or not!! When I first went gluten-free, I didn't react very much, but the longer I have been gluten-free, the more sever...

    Hi! Yes, I know of a support group around here--at Saint Mary's in Rogers, Jan Carmicheal leader--but I'm just wondering if there are celiacs with children in Fayetteville! My son is 6 and doesn't think anyone, besides us, has to eat gluten-free! So, I'm just asking... Connie gluten-free since 1-'98

    I tried to find out once... It was a long, involved process! The young guys at the theater didn't know. They gave me a product catalog, and I called the supplying company... They really weren't much help either, since they didn't make it--just sold it! Finally, I found a number for someone.... But it was made with canola oil--which I believe to...

    My suggestion would be to keep a food/symptom diary to find out the cause of the stomach aches! If you are absolutely gluten-free, you shouldn't be having them You do avoid barley, rye, and oats too, right? Either you have another food intollerence or your getting hidden glutens from somewhere.... The stomach aches are a sign... Did you...

    --they might add a malt... Seems like I read that somewhere... Last time I tried a brown rice syrup it made me "gluten-sick"! But, I don't remember the brand! Connie

    Hey Sara! Looks good! When I'm out of bread crumbs, I substitute peeled, grated potatoes! (3 small-med.--don't let sit in fridge, they turn brown...) It works great! Spices like marjoram, dill, or garlic really add a nice flavor. And, you can bake the patties in the oven for less fat. (Pour some oil on a baking sheet. Make patties. Bake at 350 for...
