    I am right there with you sometimes I will not go for days meaning 5 or more and not even laxatives will work and when I do finally go it will be D. I can' t win for losing. I do very little dairy and it doesn't seem to make a differnce when I do. I tried fiber pills and metimucel (sp) but them made me feel bloated more then I already was. Sometimes I...

    That sounds yummy I just have one question. I have Pamela's mix on hand and it already has baking soda and xantham gum in the mix, does that mean I leave it them out?

Their sandwich bread is great and their blueberry muffins are like angelfood cake.

    I never cook 2 meals, my son and husband eat the same dinner I do and they love them. I buy gluten free pasta which does cost more but we don't eat it every week. Rice is not expensive and you can get that at Walmart and so are potatoes. My dh and ds have their own bread and snacks and when I bake I either use Pamelas mix which I pay $12 for the large...

    When the temp drops below 70 I will have to try these, right the oven does not get turned on in my house. I have MS and the heat just makes me melt and saps my engry so any extra added heat makes me worse so all the cooking is done in the crockpot or on the grill in the summer time so the gives me something to look forward to in the fall. I will copy and...

    I am the only one in our house that eats gluten free so as chief cook and bottle wahser, all our meals are gluten free and with a picking teenage son in the house I have made him happy. My dh and ds have their own bread and cookies unless I bake cookies. I guess I really need to think more about cc when it comes to mayo and things like that but we don...

    I have only been at the for about 6 months and Pamela's is the only mix I have used and I love it and so does my family. (which are not gluten free) The first time I made the pancakes I had to make a double patch and my daughter said that the chocolate chip cookies were the best she has had. I use it for coating when we made orange chicken and with my bread...

    Lately no matter what I eat, and I have been eating lightly I feel like I have a lead brick in my stomach. We did eat out last Saturday, the resturant was good about what I ordered but there is always the risk of cc but this started before that. Does anybody have any ideas on what could be going on. I have been drinking peppermint tea and that helps a little...

    Hope all goes well for you. I take Topamax for a different reason 800mg a day and the only side effect I have is weight loss and for me the was a good thing.

    Before Celiac I would make a basic rue with flour and butter, now I use cornstarch to thicken things. My question is I know there is a lot of expereince on this borad so what do you use to make gravy, white sauce, or to thicken things. What is the best kind of flour to use, I have just been using cornstarch but I know I can use other flours to just not sure...

    Does anybody else do this or is the all in my head For the past 2 days now my stomach has been bothering me, feeling like my food is just sitting there like a brick in my stomach. I don't think I have had anything with gluten in it but we did eat out once this weekend so it is highly possible but my question is why if I am feeling so bad do I still feel...

    I really miss the nice fluffy flour tortillas mmm with butter and honey or sometimes cinnamon and sugar, yummy. I have tired the rice tortillas on the market but they are just not the same. Does anybody have a good recipe that is close to the wonderful good old flour tortillas. My husband just reminded me of another question, if I want to take an...

Everybody is so helpful and I got the best recipie for my birthday cake from one of the posters here was better then one made with wheat flour. There is a recipie...

  23. Chrissyb
    I hope this doesn't come across wrong. In reading the above posts I found myself feeling condemend for sometimes feeling tempted by foods I know I should not eat. Well maybe tempted isn't the right word, missing certian foods I would say. For exampel the other night my son was eating PB&J on nice soft bread and it sure looked good but I know I would...
