    I hope today finds you well. If you are reacting, I hope it's mild. You know slip ups are going to happen, you may as well get used to the idea. We can't be perfect 24/7. Your boyfriend didn't put his plate their thinking to sabotage you, he was just laying his plate down. It's true you alone are responsible for checking your plates, foods, implements...

    I'll agree with the good responses you already have. Most other problems must be determined by the individual. Guar gum can have a laxative affect. It is gluten free so go ahead and try it. If you have a reaction, you'll know it's a problem. If not, enjoy!!

    Potatoes, rice, eggs, beans, corn tortillas, pasta, jelly, chicken drumsticks & thighs

    I don't know about substituting Guar for xanthum, guar has laxative tendencies and I react badly to it.

    I believe you could still use your pizza stone if you use a piece of parchment paper on it first. I know, that's not the whole point of using the stone, but you do what you gotta do. I agree with the advice already given. One meal for the whole family, do not sit there like a martyr with your sad baked potato. I also only cook gluten-free. DH could...

    You won't have any trouble getting her plenty of calories going gluten-free. After all, you're only cutting out gluten. Protein, fruits and vegetables are all good. She may be able to eat dairy also. Once she's started on the diet there are many alternatives grains she can partake in. The difference will be she actually gets to retain those calories...

    ARCHIVED Lost

    ang1e0251 replied to New2008's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    It's so frustrating to still feel bad when you're trying so hard to eat perfectly. I've been through some of that. I have been able to track down my problem foods so far but it's like a puzzle where you don't know what the end picture looks like. I think you need to go on an elimination diet to narrow down your problem foods/ingredients. Start with...

    You are just going to have to let every one know that you will not eat anything anyone else cooks, whether cooked by a friend, a family member or a bakery. Tell them if they want you to expand your diet they can give you packaged mixes that you can bake yourself. But even then these items may have ingredients that you are sensitive to and you will not...

    It sounds like you're getting your head around a good plan for healing. Those snacks are killer on a sensitive system and a complete diet of them would lay me out. Do you have a celiac support group near you? If you can't go to meetings you can call them by phone. Often a person in their group can mentor you as you're beginning and give you that extra...

    Flu has been going around here too. It's kind of mild but I have heard some complaining. I said to dh, "Welcome to my world!"

    ARCHIVED Vitamin D

    ang1e0251 replied to JerryK's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    That's pretty interesting. How much D do you take for that kind of relief?
  13. ang1e0251
    You know I have to echo the good advice you've been given already. In the beginning, our systems have a lot of damage and it takes time for it to settle down and begin it's healing. It's good to take it very easy in the beginning to just give it time. Start with basic whole foods that you prepare yourself. Master those first and until your diet is well...

    You're right, it can really be inconvenient sometimes. It sounds like you really don't like to bring your own food but it really would be best for you to do so. Plus there is no way I would sit around with nothing while people around me were treated to cake!! You really don't want the rest to stop birthdays because you can't have cake, do you? You...

    You may want to question the grapes too. I couldn't tolerate fruit for most of the first year. Now I can eat any fruit.

    Look out for cupcakes!! I stumbled through Valentine's week, had some flu symtoms and lost 1/2 pound. Since I didn't really try, I felt good about that. Gotta go. My Mom wants me to buy and send her her favorite bread to AZ today!!

    The summer before I went gluten-free, I had those weird sensations on my upper arm. Like you say, it was about the size of a quarter. I'd forgotten about it until I read your post. My husband said it was a spirit contacting me! I'm sure it was a low on vitamins because I wasn't getting much out of what I was supplementing. I haven't had them since...

    Everything looks good there except for the natural flavors. You could call them about that just so you know for future. At her age, kids really cut back on their eating. It could be one of those spells where she just doesn't have an appetite for a few days. Maybe the milk could be secretly "fortified" with nutrition to get her through these few...

    I'm so happy for you!! What a weight off your shoulders. If they've gone this long on the diet, they will probably stick with it. And you never know about little sister, with you two double teaming her, she might just cave and get with it!

    My Betty Crocker cookbook advised to add 1/3 cup additional flour for a cakier chocolate chip cookie. I have not made these gluten-free but it is the recipe I made for 30 years and loved that way. You could try a little more flour and see. If you do, please post it as I would like to try these cookies. I also started making them with a mixture of...

    I cannot answer your question about eggs however in cake recipes I have used mayonaise in place of eggs. I have never tried an egg free mayonaise. I will answer your question about oil. You will not be successful subbing oil for a solid in cookies. I was always taught to use half butter or margarine and half shortening in cookies. You can use all...

    It's because so many of us have been burned by "cures" before.

    Thanks for the answer. I really never knew how that worked. I wondered if there was that test out there that might have shown the beginnings of celiac disease way back then. It doesn't sound like it.

    A number of years ago I worked for a few months in our hospital pharmacy. I had to show proof of measles vaccination. I had never been vaccinated for measles because when the vaccine came out and the rest of my family had their shots, I was recovering from chicken pox. Even though I felt fine the dr felt I should wait another week as this was a live vaccine...
