ARCHIVED Gluten Free Pancake Mix And Gluten Free Oat Meal
Amyleigh0007 replied to BrainStorm-wow's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
We like Pamela's too. In fact, I just made pancakes from Pamela's mix this morning (it's a snow day-yea!). We also use it as breading for chicken nuggets. -
ARCHIVED Coke, Pepsi Max, Pepso
Amyleigh0007 replied to UnhappyCoeliac's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I am right there with you. I have gone from one can of diet coke a day to three a day. I'm not sure why I have increased my soda intake so much. I just crave it. I have to have it first thing in the morning and it's like an addiction. -
ARCHIVED Movie Theatre Food? Popcorn? Safe?
Amyleigh0007 replied to disneymom62's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
Yes, we eat Orville Redenbacher Movie Theater Butter (I think that's the name). -
ARCHIVED Irritated
Amyleigh0007 replied to Dasmith's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Wow! My MIL needs to get in touch with your MIL and have a crab party. We had Christmas Eve dinner at my house (totally gluten free home) and she insisted on making gluten filled mac and cheese for my niece and nephews. She wanted to use all of my cookware. When I told her that she would need to bring her own pots and pans and colander and spoons she... -
ARCHIVED Ma Uno's Now Have gluten-free Pizza!
Amyleigh0007 replied to mrg8610's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
I ate at Uno's on Monday and had the gluten free cheese pizza. It was okay and I did not get sick but I can't say the same for my poor son. The staff at the location I went to still has a lot to learn about gluten free food. Our waitress brought out a hamburger with a bun for my son (who has Celiac). When I told her to make a new one without a bun she... -
ARCHIVED Movie Theatre Food? Popcorn? Safe?
Amyleigh0007 replied to disneymom62's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
I always bring my own popcorn and then purchase soda at the theater. I pop a bag of popcorn at home (a brand we know is safe) and then put it in a ziplock bag. No one has ever stopped me before. I am certain that we aren't the only mom's who do this -
ARCHIVED Restrauants That Say Gluten Free But Are Not Or Cross Contaminate
Amyleigh0007 replied to UnhappyCoeliac's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
What about when a waitress gives false information? My son ordered a child's hamburger off of the gluten free menu at a restaurant recently. It came with a bun and I immediately gave it back to the waitress and told her to make a new one without a bun. She said the bun was gluten free. I should have known better. She stood there and watched my young... -
ARCHIVED Is This Celiac?
Amyleigh0007 replied to PamelaR's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Don't give up after only one week! It will take longer to feel the benefits of a gluten free diet. Keep a food diary and record what you eat and how you feel after you eat it. You may notice a trend with certain foods. Try eliminating one food at a time so if you feel better you will know you have a problem with that food. -
ARCHIVED Can You Have celiac disease But Be Ok Eating Wheat?
Amyleigh0007 replied to Zoide's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
WHAT?!?! Your doctor is nuts. Find a new one. Quick, go now! -
ARCHIVED My Toddler Has Been Getting Into The Dog Food....
Amyleigh0007 replied to Amyleigh0007's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
I have temporarily moved the dog's dish to a toddler free location (in the garage) and my daughter has not had D since. Now I am convinced the dog food was the culprit! I will definitely look into the gluten free dog foods. My dog has a constant scaly nose and she has been to the vet several times over it. I wonder if the gluten free food would help.... -
ARCHIVED Newbie - Intro
Amyleigh0007 replied to jmjsmomma's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Welcome! This forum has helped me tremendously. It's a great place to vent, ask questions, and learn! I don't know what I would do without this forum! I felt just like you when my young son was diagnosed but I promise, it gets easier. Now, shopping gluten free is second nature. The positives far outweigh the negatives in the gluten free lifestyle. ... -
ARCHIVED A Question For Families With Celiac
Amyleigh0007 replied to 3groovygirls's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
My son had the bloodtest in early March, the first biopsy in late March and then another biopsy in July. The doctor wants to see him again this July for follow up bloodwork. I believe he (the doctor) said follow up bloodwork would be once a year, to check antibody levels. -
ARCHIVED My Toddler Has Been Getting Into The Dog Food....
Amyleigh0007 posted a topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
My 17 month old daughter is gluten free and has been since birth. She has never been sick (knock on wood) and is not in daycare. But, for the past two weeks she has had diarrhea otherwise she is fine. I have been trying to think what in the world could cause the D and then I realized that she, the curious toddler that she is, has been getting into the... -
ARCHIVED Husband Wants Me To Go Gluten Free Without Testing
Amyleigh0007 replied to anniebeth's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
That is EXACTLY how I found out about my gluten problem too! I went gluten free for my son's sake, to help him cope, show him it wasn't going to be the end of the world, and to learn how to cook without gluten. I felt so much better within a week that I was stunned at how horrible I had felt before. I thought feeling like crap was normal. I ended up... -
ARCHIVED Lunch Box Ideas
Amyleigh0007 replied to mmaldavs's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
My son takes a small, single serving size Thermos to school each day. He usually takes a hot dog or leftovers from dinner. -
ARCHIVED Uno's In Cranberry Twp, Pa
Amyleigh0007 replied to mamaw's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
I just had a cheese pizza from Uno's in St. Louis, Missouri. It was not good. It fell apart and I had to eat it with a fork. It wasn't horrible but I would not get it again. -
ARCHIVED Height Spurt W/in 6 Months?
Amyleigh0007 replied to mardigan's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
My son was diagnosed in March of last year and has since gained 10 pounds and grown almost 3 inches. I had to buy him a new wardrobe including underwear, socks, and shoes! I was so happy to do that because he was still wearing clothes he had worn in kindergarten (and he was in 2nd grade). -
ARCHIVED New To Celiac And Having Heart Palps
Amyleigh0007 replied to codyb87's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
My palpitations never woke me up but I can tell you about my experience. I began experiencing heart palpitations about 8 years ago (right after my son was born). I had to wear a heart monitor for 24 hours but they found nothing wrong. They continued off and on until I went gluten free about 6 months ago. Now, I can't remember the last time I had one. -
ARCHIVED Convienience Foods?
Amyleigh0007 replied to clnewberry1's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Smart Ones (Weight Watchers) frozen Santa Fe Style Rice and Beans is gluten free and says so on the box. I think there are more mainstream gluten free frozen dinners out there but I'm not sure which ones. If anyone knows, could you please list them? Thanks! -
ARCHIVED Fast Food French Fries
Amyleigh0007 replied to bakingbarb's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
You are opening a can of worms with the mention of fast food fries and the debate on if some are gluten free or not. My son and I both eat McDonalds fries with no ill effects. -
ARCHIVED Strawberry Chex
Amyleigh0007 replied to *lee-lee*'s topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
There is a discussion going on about this in my local support group. A member said she called General Mills this morning and they said that Strawberry Chex is gluten free now but there are still old boxes out there that are not gluten free. Apparently they are made in the same dedicated facility that Rice Chex are made so no worries about CC. I am so very... -
ARCHIVED Glutened By Lay's Sour Cream And Onion
Amyleigh0007 replied to sugarsue's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
My son also reacts to Lay's products. I will only give him Lay's Staxx. They are hard to find in my area too so when the one store that carries them has them in stock I buy 10 of them. -
ARCHIVED Chebe!
Amyleigh0007 replied to HeartofGlass224's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I recently purchased Chebe frozen rolls and sandwich bread. I've never seen Chebe that you mix yourself. The frozen rolls are tiny but they taste so good after not having "real" rolls for 9 months now. They are crusty on the outside and chewy on the inside. Awesome with lots of butter! The sandwich bread looks strange, not like you would think sandwich...
