    This was my first year staying home and cooking. It was a success! Roasted turkey breast mashed potatoes roasted sweet potatoes green beans corn stuffing cranberry sauce corn bread dinner rolls pumpkin pie chocolate cream pie There was gravy, but it was not gluten free. I dont eat it anyway. Everything else was gluten free and for once...

    I am the celiac in a house of 5. I do all the cooking and 99% of it is gluten free. It can be done, and easily. I too just did an entire gluten free Thanksgiving. The only thing that wasn't gluten-free was the gravy. I dont eat it anyway, so I bought premade for the gravy eaters I love to cook, so in the beginning (its been a few years) I just researched...

    My pain has always been in the upper ab area. Sometimes over to the right side. I never had low intestional pain. I haven't been glutened in awhile, a good year I think....knock on wood!!!! I cant say whether there is a differece between straight glutening or cross contamination. I would think it would be the same. You are still getting glutened with...

    Yes, I have made baked pasta dishes, (baked ziti) without precooking the noodles. It came out great. I feel it came out better because cooking the gluten-free noodles makes them very mushy. Just make sure you use enough sauce because the noodles will absorb the sauce as they are cooking.

    I had my own baker at that time, but I used her bar pan for the nachos. I did not get sick. But I also wasn't eating off the bottom of the pan. That baker is such a HUGE seller. But you have to demo the chicken. It makes everybody ohhh and ahhh. LOL! When my cousin did her party she didn't do the chicken and no one bought the baker. There are...

    Yes!!! I have hosted a gluten free pampered chef party. I did one this past July. I chose "chicken jerk nachos" and we did a whole chicken in the deep covered baker. I would highy suggest doing a chicken in the baker along with another dish. This was such a huge hit because you can cook a whole chicken in the microwave in about 30 minutes or so...

    Outback Steakhouse and Olive Garden both have gluten free menus. I've only eaten at Outback since being gluten free. I have mixed reviews. I seem to do ok with the victoria's fillet and a baked potatoe. Not good luck with Alice springs Chicken. NOt sure why... I'm sure that there are more resturants out there. Pf Changs has a gluten-free menu, but...

    What is the longest time span between a possible glutening and reaction have you had? I'm trying to figure out if this is my stomach issue that I've been having for the last few days. I cant for the life of me come up with anything that could have been contaminated unless I go back to Dec. 31st. My stomach started bothering me on the 7th. I'm...

    Unfortunately no, I dont think that being gluten free helps with my constipation. Nor does it help my in the weight loss department. I'm exactly as I was before my diagnosis, only 20 pounds heavier. I really have about 50 pounds to lose. I pretty much have to take miralax on a daily basis to have any sort of normal movement. I drink a lot of water...

    I gained weight. About 20 lbs. I was about 30 lbs overweight when I was diagnosed, and then it just continuted to go up. I've been stable for a few months now, so I'm hoping its going to start to go in the downward direction

    It is very overwhelming at first, but it does get a lot easier as time goes on. You just need to learn to read every label. You will become an expert! I stuck with meat, veggies and rice for the first few weeks. There is so much information out there. So many web sites with great recipes, blogs, and there are a lot of good cookbooks. As far as bread...

    I wouldn't worry about it. If you know that you've gotten sick before when you've been glutened, I would bet to say if there were crumbs on the butter you would have gotten sick. I generally go with the thought of if I feel ok, than I didn't ingest anything I wasn't supposed to.

    I get pain up under my rip cage. Its interesting to see other people that have pain up that high too. Most people I know with celiac have lower abdominal pain and D. I never ever get D. I'm chronically constipated. My stomach also feels like its eating itself. Thats the only way I can describe it. It grumbles and makes these horrible noises. Its...

    When I was first diagnosed, it wasn't with celiac disease. They told me I had pancreatitis. My amylase and lipase levels were very elevated. They sent me home and told me to eat a low fat low protein high carb diet. 2 weeks later I went in for an endoscopy and got the diagnosis of celiac disease. To make a long story short.....my first dr was an...

    Happy birthday and may God bless you today!

    I'm sorry about your husband not understanding, its hard to grasp everything in the beginning. Unfortunately, if you have Celiac disease you will need to be that careful for the rest of your life. Get your own pb jar, your own mayo jar, anything like that that can become contaminated. Tell him that its not about cheating, you are damaging your body...

    Right before my diagnosis, I ended up in the ER with horrible stomach pain. After all my labs came back they gave me a diagnosis of pancreatitis because my amylase and liapase levels were elevated and my pain was in the upper part of my stomach where the pancreas is. Long story short, I didn't have pancreatitis. I had an endoscopy to rule out an ulcer...

    I know this is a little late being that its after Christmas, but for Christmas Eve I served: Cheese gluten-free crackers Pepperoni Meatballs Shrimp Cocktail Sweet and Sour Kielbasa Tacos w/ all the toppings Various fudge Cookies Vanilla Cake Chocolate pound cake My family likes to pick on a bunch of stuff. We never really do a full sit down...

    Congratulations!! This was my first gluten free Christmas as well. It all went well for me too. I hosted Christmas eve this year, so I prepared all the food! It all turned out well!!

    I drink at least 2 cups of coffee every morning. I don't have any issue with it. It also doesn't seem to help the constipation problem either!!
  23. greeneyes33
    I have chronic constipation as well. I've had it for years. My dr suggests miralax. I know that my eating habits are not helping either. I was diagnosed 6 months ago and I've been eating everything in sight that is safe. I think if I stuck to fruit veggies and protein like I should and drank more water and still took the miralax I would be ok. ...

    I understand how you feel. I hosted Christmas Eve this year. My first time ever. I was just diagnosed 6 months ago. I was excited that it would be at my house and I wouldnt have to worry about getting sick because I was preparing everything. I told my family that I had everything under control and I didn't need anything. My one aunt kept insisting...

    The Celiac Center at St Barnabas doesn't accept insurance, but they will give you all the information and stuff to submit to your insurance company to reimburse you. You might have to do some time on the phone with your insurance company, I did, quite a long time too, but I did get them to say that they will cover it. I dont have out of network coverage...
