  1. I recently used Jovial lasagna noodles. I boiled them for 12 minutes. I then cut them into strips similar to egg noodles. Both of my grandchildren loved them (one celiac, one not). I did this for chicken soup this time, but will do it again for beef stew next time. I feel they are similar to egg noodles, but then again I have forgotten what "real" egg...
  2. I am curious where you found the information that lichen sclerosus is connected to thyroid disease. I have lichen sclerosus and my thyroid tests have all been normal and all of my problems are skin and joint related. When I gave up gluten, my lichen sclerosus went into remission over time, I no longer get rashes, and my joints no longer feel stiff when...
  3. I also want to add that I wish you and your husband the best and I am sure that you will get to the bottom of this
  4. My daughter was diagnosed with celiac through bloodwork at her GI. The celiac panel was done as rule out because she had so many different types of vague symptoms including tremors in her hands. The endoscopy was done before the celiac panel came back (I feel they did not believe she had celiac) and we were told the endoscopy was normal showing no signs...
  5. In our house, any kitchen item that is to be used for gluten free only (colander, storage containers, whisk, etc) is red in color. I got the idea on this forum. It has worked out very well in our home. I write gluten free on the lids with marker for peanut butter, jelly, etc. It was a little easier in our home because there are no young children so we...
  6. I think the overall message conveyed by Dr. Oz is still going to be beneficial to someone out there. I think you are right in that he should have mentioned that getting tested after going gluten free might skew results, but what he did do was perhaps provide a possible path for people to explore to explain their vague symptoms. Before my daughter was diagnosed...
  7. If possible, I would find another dentist if I were you. When my daughter asked the hygienist at our dentist's office, she did not know. She said she would find out. She called every manufacturer regarding anything that would touch my daughter to confirm they were gluten free and made sure to inform my daughter when she went for her appointment and also...
  8. Perhaps it is nitrates in the cold cuts you are reacting to. My daughter reacts to nitrates in the same way she reacts to gluten. Nitrates are found in most processed meats (cold cuts, bacon, hot dogs, etc.) You may try some nitrate free cold cuts to see if you react. Hormel (pretty sure of brand) has a line called Naturals. Coleman's has nitrate free...
  9. Do you have a crockpot? There is a blog crockpot365.blogspot.com. Stephanie O'dea started this site and all of the recipes are gluten free. This way you could put in the ingredients and the meal would be ready when you got home. She critiques each recipe she has tried. Whatever you decide to cook, enjoy your visit!
  10. They also carry: Kozy Shack pudding Taco kits (I forget the brand name, maybe Ortega???) that are marked gluten free on the box Pacific foods cream of mushroom soup and chicken broth Yogurt and kefir The Amy's Lentil soup is gluten free, but it is only sold in a combo pack with minestrone which is not gluten-free.
  11. Do you think a podiatrist might be worth seeing regarding your toes bending the wrong way? It sounds as if this may be related to your other issues, but a podiatrist might offer a different perspective for you and your other specialists to explore and perhaps offer you another piece to the puzzle.
  12. I just noticed the strangest thing. I have been keeping an eye on my iodine burns because they still have not healed completely. I am also watching my original rash because it has been about a month and it is taking such a long time to fade away. The original patch I tested at the end of November that had no reaction when I first did it is now visible...
  13. I was diagnosed with this 22 years ago. It was shortly after giving birth to my second child. I am thinking I may have a problem with gluten because I had a DH type rash almost a month ago that has appeared for the 3rd time in the past six months. I am trying not to make things "fit", but it seems to make some sense. In retrospect, when the LS presented...
  14. I have used rice paper. I put the spinach filling in and then roll them like an egg roll. I like them this way. You can't eat them expecting phyllo dough just to warn you. They have a chewy texture that I actually enjoy. My daughter liked them this way too, but when I made the puff pastry last time she fell in love with it and asked that I do it with puff...
  15. Someone here on the forum had directed me towards this video for phyllo dough last year and I did give it a try. He makes it look so easy and I thought I was doing everything just the way he showed, but the layers melded together and it was nothing like phyllo dough. It was a very time consuming process and I guess I cannot bring myself to try again because...
