I will guarantee you I will go on a gluten-free diet again no matter what the doctor says. I will not live the rest of my life this way. I may have to do it without the support of my family, but I hope not. What I really wish I could do is teach them about this condition. They don't understand why it is so important that I am exposed to no gluten. I...

(I like these cute faces) I posted this message on another thread, but decided perhaps it deserves its own. I had been gluten-free for about 3 months with miraculous results. I had absolutely no problems with my health at all as long as I was gluten-free. However, my family were pushing me to get an official diagnosis. So I finally made an appointment...

I thought maybe I should tell what my situation actually is. I had been gluten-free for about 3 months with miraculous results. I had absolutely no problems with my health at all as long as I was gluten-free. However, my family were pushing me to get an official diagnosis. So I finally made an appointment and went in. My doctor has placed me on a non...

Uh, this may apply to my situation, so I'm just wondering, what is what you are calling a dietary challenge? Anyone may answer this if they know being as tarnalberry may not see this. - Dan

Thanks, I'll give that a try if I can get my hands on the ingredients. I heard about one that uses buttermilk. Someone told me they'd send me the recipe, but I haven't gotten it yet. Any more recipes are sure welcome! - Dan

I've been trying for a couple of months now, and just can't seem to get a decent loaf of bread. I have no trouble getting my bread to stay moist and cohesive, but I just can't get it to last more than a couple hours out of the oven without sinking into itself. I don't want to buy bread mixes because, quite frankly, I can buy a perfectly good loaf of gluten...

Hey, I bought a toaster at either Target or ShopKo for like $5 not too long ago. It's a great investment, since I've found all gluten-free breads I've yet tried are great toasted! - Dan PS: thrift stores rip you off selling you an old crappy caked non-polarised toaster that will bite the dust in 3 days for $15

Just a little personal experience: Since I worked in a cheese factory, I refuse to eat any pre-shredded cheese. So much gross stuff gets in there, it's nausiating. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if a whole loaf of whole wheat bread was accidently dropped on the belt at one time, and was not noticed. They do sterility tests frequently, but they very...

Just thought I'd mention, my mum used to sprout wheat regularly, but tests revieled the sprouts were not gluten-free.

What's the name of that restaurant? - Dan

Hi, Just thought I'd mention that Egg Beaters and other of those egg things that are sold around egg beaters are made with about 99% real eggs, so if it were me who had the egg allergy, I wouldn't use them either. - Dan

Sorry it has been such a long time since I have replied to these. A few days ago, the power went out here for about an hour for no known reason. When it came on again, our internet connection equipment was no longer working. We had to buy more. Then, since technology has changed so much since last time this happened, I had to spend hours on the phone...

I asked La Choy if they had gluten in their soy sauce, and here is their response: "We are sorry to inform you that we do not have a source that lists the gluten content of our products. However, our product labels list common allergens; such as wheat, for those allergic to wheat gluten." This does not address gluten from other sources. - Dan

I was in the process of becoming vegan when I learned I had celiac disease, and I tried for a while, then gave up. I'm vegetarian, and I think I've been one much too long to know how to live as a vegan restricted to a gluten free diet. My family has been vegetarian for as far back as anyone can remember. We have vegetarian recipes coming from generations...

I looked up seitan, and it sounds like an adaptable alternative. I've copied down a recipe, and I'll be experimenting with different types of gluten-free flours Thanks for the idea!!! -Dan
