    I really miss red velvet cake. I've found a couple of recipes, but haven't tried making one yet. My step mother makes the best gluteny red velvet cake ever. *sigh*

    Thanks for the tops, Ken! Orange peels & cinnamon sound divine mixed in with the beans! Oh, and can you do something about the price of that Kona coffee for us mainland folks?

    jayhawkmom - thank you for posting this! My hubby wants to take me on a cruise, but I've been so concerned about how/what I would eat. I have more confidence now, and maybe we will actually do this! jststric - I too, hate being so 'high maintenance' in regards to food.

    I think I agree with MOJ - I'd be taking my own food and not trust their meals, especially if I was going somewhere to run a marathon, but if I was going on a trip of any kind. I just wouldn't want to risk being sick the whole time I was there.

    GFinDC - I think I'm going to end up at my PCP's office for starters and see where that goes. The location of the lump is almost a straight line to the left (and up just a wee bit) of where my Adam's Apple would be if I had one. It's no bigger and no smaller today, but a bit more sensitive to touch I think. cyberprof - thanks for the link. I'll...

    MOJ - Thanks for elaborating on that for me. That does make sense to me. I suppose my first stop should be my PCP, although I am concerned that I might get a 'wait and see' from her. I don't have an appointment with an endocrinologist yet - unfortunately, I have procrastinated on that and sort of talked myself out of it based on my PCP's attitude. ...

    OptimisticMom - RE: lymph nodes - You're right. I just looked up lymph nodes, and they're all over. So that might be what this is. SallyC - I've suspected thyroid issues for a while now, based on symptoms and family history. I really like my PCP, but when I questioned her about just going by the numbers, she got a little huffy and referred me to an...

    Let me start off by saying that I have no idea if this is related to my Celiac, so this may not belong here. Yesterday I discovered a lump (feels like two smallish ones actually, but they move together when I push on it) on the left side of my neck. It's quite tender when I push/prod/poke, and if it's not two separate ones, it's about the the width of...

    Just in case anyone else searches for McKinney (or Frisco or Plano or Allen) and wants someone local to talk to.... There's a new informal support group that has started up called "Gluten Free Frisco". Hopefully we'll get enough local members to start having meet-ups and maybe a dinner group too! The link is in my signature. Please come join us!

    No answers for you, just empathy. I suffer the same thing. I live in Texas, it's still a balmy 80-something degrees outside at 11pm, and I'm wearing jeans, socks, a tshirt and a sweatshirt - and I'm still COLD. I get too hot at night and wake up in a pool of sweat, and of course the instant I step out of bed I'm freezing again. I've had nights where...

    Just wanted to put the word out to anyone in the North Dallas area that there is a new informal support group. It's called "Gluten Free Frisco" and at this point it's just a message board with two members, but I'm hoping it will grow into something much bigger. If you are in the North Dallas area, please feel free to register and participate! (Or even...

    Just wanted to share with you that I was dx'd late last August, and it's just been in the last month and a half have I seen any real weight gain. For YEARS, I could eat anything and everything and not go above 105lbs (5'1"). Mostly, I hovered right around 100lbs (may have gone lower, but dreaded getting on the scale as I was scared to...

    I've tried the chocolate ones too. They're........interesting. Not gross, but not what I expected. (And I LOVE chocolate.) Not sure I'll be buying them again. I have seen the strawberry ones, but the ones I saw weren't gluten free. (Found them at a Kroger) Haven't seen gluten free strawberry yet.

    Thanks purple! I'm glad I didn't try the corn starch then! I went ahead and made them using polenta that I obliterated with my food processor. Interesting texture, that. The flatbread turned out decent, as long as it was consumed while still warm. (With hummus - YUM!) I let one cool off and then reheated it, and it was less than impressive. Also...

    I have a recipe for a gluten-free flat bread that calls for 2 tbsp of fine cornmeal........which I do not have. I *do* have polenta, but it's the pre-cooked kind, and corn starch. Would either one of these work? Is there something else that might work better? I have a bunch of different flours/starches, but just not sure what might work best. Thoughts...

    I just found these yesterday too (well, my husband pointed them out)!! MAN OH MAN ARE THEY GOOOOD! I had a huge bowl of them for a mid morning snack! I think I'll start checking Super Target for these things first, as they seem to get them before the regular grocery stores. Still haven't found the Betty Crocker gluten-free stuff yet though.

    I wanted to relay my experience with Boston's Gourmet Pizza in McKinney, Texas - it was truly awesome! After reading a post on another message board that mentioned they had a gluten free pizza crust, I was dying to try it but was super worried about CC. I called and talk to a gal that knew they offered gluten-free crusts, but didn't really know...

    Dallas area here, and I forgot to look today while I was at the store. Will try to check in the next couple of days and report back. RE: Chex - it took quite a while for me to be able to find the Honey Nut Chex, and have just recently found the Chocolate Chex. Still no Strawberry or Cinnamon, though.

    One thing that has not improved for me since being gluten-free is my memory. I just remembered that I need some toaster bags, and I need them by TUESDAY (as in three days from now). Does anyone have any ideas of where I might try locally to purchase (Dallas/North Dallas)? I've just done a fairly exhaustive Google search and didn't come up with much...

    Woolygimp - I just wanted to chime and tell you taht you are not alone. You've pretty much described me with the dry eyes, dry mouth, and dry skin - except for me, I'm dry from head to toe, and my sinuses are extremely dry as well. I'm 34 years old and have more days than not where I look and feel like a shriveled up dried out raisin. I haven't had...

    Well, if they don't do the biopsies correctly to begin with, you will get negative results. They need to biopsy next to a lesion, not on the lesion/rash itself. If they biopsy on the lesion/rash itself, you'll get a 'negative' and a likely dx of 'psoriasis' or 'eczema'.

    I'm not sure what recipe you used from here, but I maight've used the same one, and had the same results the first time I made them (crumbling). I have found that if you let them cool only a little bit before cutting them (as in you still need a hot pad to touch the tray), they're still pliable enough that you can cut them into bar shapes. You will still...

    I've been gluten-free since last August, and I still have fatigue, albeit not as bad as before and immediately after going gluten-free. I work full time, and I usually spend my first day off of the week doing nothing but lounging/napping/taking it easy, and then any errands/housework/etc on the second day off. Some weeks, I have to have both days as down...

    Wendy's may be the best choice; at least you know you could eat a baked potato or a salad. If I can make any phone calls for you, please let me know! I live in Dallas so it's a local call for me. I've heard good things about American Airlines (my hubby travels with them all the time), but just to be on the safe side, you may want to pack lots of...

    Well I had the new gluten free dish for dinner, and it's YUMMY! I didn't have super high hopes, as I'm not crazy about quinoa pasta, but this was SO. DANG. GOOD. The meatballs were awesome, the sauce was great, and the pasta was perfect! You won't be sorry if you buy some!
