  1. Wow, that IS very interesting! I may want to read the entire book until next year, so I'm more educated! Thank you for posting!
  2. My target audience is all kind of folks, who have any medical reason to go glutenfree in and around Harrisburg. This includes, but is not limited to finding businesses, who sell, and charities, who give out glutenfree foods in addition to other things glutenfree. It can be anything glutenfree really, but it HAS TO HAVE a connection to Harrisburg in some way...
  3. Thanks, I will do that then. Even though, I don't know much about Mexican food, I think, if somebody is newly diagnosed just the last few days, they may just be glad to have some kind of reassurance the last minute and don't have to do the research themselves, even though for old timer celiacs what I'm writing about may already be an old hat. I always keep...
  4. I know, right?!? It's soooo diverse, I didn't know, where to start. Well, actually, even years before I had this blog I enjoyed making the Ortega Corn Taco Shells with some of my favorite fillings. Maybe I should label it "Stef's favorite Cinco de Mayo food" and write about my own recipe instead of making a glutenfree compilation of already known food???
  5. The mission brand corn tortilla is a good idea and I can just write aboute some good filling to add. Those mission brand ones are harder to find around Harrisburg though and I'm the blog author for the Harrisburg area. What's easier to find are the Ortega Taco Shells. If I'm correct the taco mix is glutenfree, while the taco sauce is not, because of the anti...
  6. Yes, I am in the US. But because I'm German, I have no clue about Cinco de Mayo food. Do you think, for this year it would be enough, if I just start writing about some basic Taco recipes and some favorite Margarita and then I have time to do some research until next year? I mean, it's quite extensive and I probably can't put everything into one article anyways...
  7. Family members, who may have celiac or gluten intolerance are usually in denial. Little piece of advise here. If they haven't personally seen you suffer and experience your newly found change, you may want to "feed" them your celiac knowledge in small pieces, because they tend to shut you out, if it's too much at a time.
  8. In addition to mamaupupup, I would like to add, that you may want to gather all the gluten items and eat them all up, before your kiddo actually has to go glutenfree. It would be beneficial, if the entire kitchen would be glutenfree to prevent cross contamination, especially at the beginning. Another benefit of that would be, that you may see, if other family...
  9. Hang in there, I've had all your symptoms and more. In addition to that my bones hurt from the inside, like something was sucked out of them, however I was on pain meds every day for 7 years also. Could have been withdrawal pain from that in the bones and not from the gluten. Anyways, it is NORMAL for a lot of people to get worse at first. That may be a strange...
  10. I'm taking "sublingual liquid B complex with B12". It will go into your blood stream from under your tongue, not through your stomache or intestines. I guess that would be the alternative to the shots, but I don't have medical insurance.
  11. Hi everybody, I'm pretty much clueless about this, do I thought I post a new topic about this for some inspiration. I have a glutenfree column for some publicity in iur field now for quite some time. I'm sitting here trying to write about glutenfree food for Cinco de Mayo now since 9.00am this morning (1.5 hours). I've looked at tons of webpages for some...
  12. I walked into one of those doctor centers for poor people two years ago for a nasty flu. The doc n I got to talk and I asked her, if the medicine was glutenfree. She asked, if I had celiac. I said, yes, and that it was not heal able. She said, yes it is. I said, no it isn't. She said, yes it is, they have things you can take for it. 8-(
  13. And thanks jestgar for welcoming me back. I guess, most people don't know, that I'm an old bird on here. Therefore, I'm also already healed and have no inflammation anymore either, like somebody mentioned, might be the case.
  14. Why would that imply that there is gluten in it? If that's the case, I would have written it like that.
  15. Nobody was listening here. I didn't say there was gluten in the coffee, nor did I say gluten caused the pain. THE COFFEE (which was entirely glutenfree) caused the same pain that originally only gluten used to cause in my body. Any coffee for that matter. And no, it's not caffeine, I drink coke and Pepsi and have no problems.
  16. Well, we wouldn't have had to eat at Bertucci's. We could have gone somewhere else. Nobody answered though, so I didn't have much company anyways. I ended up eating there and I'm fine. Also I am highly sensitive to every little speck and would have reacted right away, if there would have been something in my food.
  17. Remember my post about new celiac pain a couple of days ago, even though I'm entirely glutenfree? With me it IS the coffee. I can not have coffee or I'm getting my old celiac pains.
  18. On my way home now! It was really nice up there. We had an Italian restaurant called Bertucci's right beside our hotel and supposedly they serve glutenfree, but I have not checked that out. I wonder, who knows more about that.
  19. Hi there, I'm staying till tomorrow. It's a quick weekend trip with a tournament, and then nighttime finals with Shannon Lee, daughter of Bruce Lee, Hollywood actors Cynthia Rothrock and Don Wilson. If you wanna go for a coffee and chitchat or even see the nighttime show, hit me up.
  20. OK, I'm 3 days off of that coffee now and the pain, albeit still there every once in a while, got noticeably less. I will keep this up another week or two and then drink a cup and see what happens.
  21. Tanks for your responses. I'm going to have a journal for an exclusion diet for a while and see how that goes. Birder, I remember you from back when. We actually talked quite often.
  22. I know, I'm not here very often, but the people who are here longer should still know me. I have a "new" problem now as it seems and was hoping to find somebody with similar experiences. Since I have to leave for my pm run in about 10 minutes I haven't read any of the posts yet, I'll do that later tonight. OK, here it goes: As most of the older people know...
  23. I think, I found, what I was looking for. I'm going to try one without the bun tomorrow.
  24. OK, this thread has been a while, but I thought, I'd answer anyways. I have pretty severe reactions to gluten and I have never had a problem with their cheese slices. I was actually looking on some info for the McRib, that's back in our area. And I know, when I was not diagnosed yet, I loved the McRib. I was just wondering, if we could eat the McRib without...
  25. Hi there, just wanted to add, that this weekend I've tried the bottled frappuccino's from Starbucks, the moccha, vanilla and regular coffee one. But other than a little growling I have not been sick at all. Since I get sick as a dog from anything gluten my guess is, that it's really glutenfree. I've had some very little problems in reacting to milk and caffeine...
