    Tanya - how did they test you for celiac? You mentioned a colonoscopy for crohn's but you'll need very specific blood tests and/or an endoscopy for celiac. Dana - he can have any distilled vinegar. The only big no-no is any malt vinegar, as it is made from barley. Hope this helps! Celeste

    Richard, We can always count on you to be the voice of reason, no matter which forum you are on! Thank you. Celeste

    Keep in mind when you start the anger-mail that many companies who cannot absolutely certify that their items contain no wheat will have to start putting "may contain wheat" on their labels just to CYA. Those Fruity/Cocoa Pebbles, Corn Puffs, Malt-o-meal cereals, etc. you can almost be assured they would have to do that because they all warn about cross...

    I have heard others say that those french fry stands are okay because all they cook in there are french fries. You could check with them to be sure, but it seems like it should be safe. Celeste

    ARCHIVED Applebee's

    crc0622 replied to pegom1's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    I wouldn't even trust the salad. From everything I have read, Applebees is one of those places to stay out of. That's fine for me - I never much liked them anyway. Salads are a major source of cross-contamination - often they are mixed in the same bowls, where croutons have been, dressings are slopped around, fried onions sometimes. Bad news. Unless...

    I think that if they are regularly smoking pot, the question as to whether it's gluten-free or not is kind of irrelevant . . . Celeste

    Penzey's has come out with two new Taco Seasonings, Bold and Chicken. I just called and they are both gluten-free. Their Original Taco Seasoning, however, is still the only one they carry that is not gluten-free. I love these spices. They are great quality and very good prices. If you order in larger quantities, the prices are even better. Celeste Jacksonville...

    I think I got glutened at Don Pablos a while back and I was very careful when ordering and asked a bunch of questions. There's always the possibility of contamination anytime you eat something you don't prepare yourself. If in doubt, don't! Celeste

    Unfortunately, due to the same thing that creates that wonderful seasoning, cast iron is a no-no for us! The gluten won't be scrubbed away (and what good cook would scrub their cast iron, anyway?)! Stainless steel and anodized aluminum is good - easy to scrub clean. Thanks for all the great info. I do tell everyone I can possibly tell when I have...

    Have you adjusted your plans due to the Hurricane?

    Nukapai: Sounds like all of your symptoms are pointing toward Celiac. As I have read on another Celiac forum, IBS means "I've Been Stumped" hahahaha Lay off any processed foods for a while and you won't have to worry about those nasty little hidden ingredients like "gluten-free wheat." Sounds like science fiction, doesn't it? Well, according to many...

    Hello again, Canadian Karen. You stole my comment about delphi! I don't know how anyone could want any more recipes than are available there! Folks, if you don't visit delphi, you are missing out on a lot of good info - it's a different environment than this one (a little older crowd, I think) but we have several members who do both forums. Check it out...

    I don't think they are all gluten-free - esp if Bob's doesn't say gluten-free, it is probably not gluten-free. All his stuff is marked as gluten-free if it is. Some of the product lists have safe stuff on them. I would suspect Quaker has CC issues. Check delphi's list - it's the best I've seen. I know for sure that Adluh corn meal is on one of the lists...

    Sharon, Upon diagnosis, I too ran to my local healthy food store and bought a bunch of processed gluten-free stuff I didn't think I could live without. Well, most of those are still in the cupboard because I just don't eat much of the specialty stuff. There are a lot more options in your regular store than you realize. (Yes, Cheetos are gluten-free, even...

    If you want a list, the best I have found is here: Open Original Shared Link Scroll down a little on the first page and you'll see a gluten-free product list. It is updated pretty regularly. Baking soda is very hard on the teeth and gums. You'll soon have no gums!!

    Try Kathy's Creations in Ohio. No website that I am aware of but they ship everywhere. I'm in FL and got a box of goodies last week including a cookie sampler, cinnamon swirl bread, pizza crusts. 866-821-8183 Hubby had a couple of the cookies last night and couldn't believe they were gluten-free. I ordered the sampler (6 kinds of cookies, I think) and...

    crc0622 replied to a topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips

    The site referenced below is the BEST for gluten-free recipes. I have mentioned it here before. One of the moderators is a chef, owns her own restaurant and posts - literally - hundreds of recipes. If you only use this website, check out others because each has its own "flavor" or personality. Open Original Shared Link There is also good information...

    I agree about using whatever you've already got out. Also, a good tip if you are using a mix that calls for flouring the pan, flour it with a little of the mix, then you don't get white stuff on the outside of your cake/brownies/whatever when you're done. Celeste

    I was going to suggest buttermilk, too, for those that can have dairy. A Southern thing, I think. If your breading is falling off, your oil is not hot enough. Drop a couple of crumbs in the oil before you fry. If it sizzles and floats, it's hot enough. If it sinks, let it get hotter. (If it disintegrates before your eyes in a wisp of smoke, you...

    I guess I'm the weirdo here. I have barely any period. I'm on the pill - have been for 18 years - and have had low hemoglobin and taken iron also for the same length of time, sometimes I've been taking iron as much as three times a day. I've had two periods since going gluten-free and haven't noticed any difference except they may be even lighter than...

    Yep - Dutch is what I've always heard we were. Some German thrown in there, too. I have fair skin, freckles and look Irish so there's probably some of that floating around. (I have a strange fondness for Ireland, also. They say if you have a drop of Irish blood in you, you always consider Ireland home, so maybe that's it!) My whole family has been on...

    I've eaten it for supper the last two days. I think I'm okay!

    Two comments: Product formulations are different in other countries, so be careful if you are not in the US. (Karen, I know you are aware of this from delphi but thought I'd mention it for others.) Publix brand sherbets and yogurts are gluten-free - confirmed recently.

    Your exhusband sounds like a real caring, sensitive kind of guy - NOT. Any chance you could threaten taking some kind of legal action? Some variation of withholding medical care might work . . . just a thought. No way I would eat gluten again for a challenge - I feel too good, am building muscle, gaining weight. Luckily (?) I am off the charts positive...
  25. crc0622
    Yes, this is a byproduct of celiac disease, as well as infertility caused by not having regular cycles. Low weight alone can cause missed or absence of periods. You're about as normal as it gets around here.
