Mballerina, I have the same cravings and binges. I've tried baking gluten-free and have failed!! Therefore, I want what I can't have. The hardest thing is.... I want a beer once in awhile. My husband can tell when I have had gluten. I get real crabby, angry, b%$@#y, etc.. It will last about a week. I also feel real run down and exhausted. I...

I have tried baking several items gluten-free, using receipes from people in this forum. NOT ONE HAS WORKED!!! Everything has tasted very bad. I AM NOT A GOOD COOK to begin with. So that doesn't help. What gluten-free flour mix do all of you use to make cookies, cakes etc taste normal? I have Bob's Red Mill gluten-free All Purpose Baking Flour...

I also have major problems w/ constipation. I also take Zelnorm, Nexium, and Kristalose. The Zelnorm did nothing for me in the past 6 months and was using lots of OTC laxatives. But now that I have really tried to be strictly gluten-free (for a few months), the last 2 weeks I have noticed a BIG difference. But I also don't take the Zelnorm as prescribed...

Not sure about Brie but I can tell you what it states in my CSA Gluten-Free product book. Trader Joe's: Cheese blocks & wedges (doesn't list specific types) Lifetime Rice cheese, shredded 3 cheese blend, soy cheese, tofurella cheese pretty much all the other cheese brands are those of american, mozzarella, parmesan, cheddar, colby I know blue...

Newbie, I know exactly how you feel. My husband is very wishy/washy about me being gluten-free. In Feb 04 I was told by my GI doctor that I would not be around in 3 yrs if I did not go on a strick gluten-free diet. I decided to join this forum for support because I was half way being gluten-free. Once I started passing out at work (I am in the medical...

I think that a lot of the misconception is that people think it is a "food allergy" when it is not. As stated earlier, IT IS A "AID". I work in a hospital, one that is to be in the top 10-20 in the nation. There are 3 GI groups and they have admitted that they know absolutely NOTHING about Celiac Disesase or Gluten intolerance other than the strict diet...

I have to say that I've gained weight and not happy about. I do not seem to be able to loose it either and that is very upsetting. Of course I was very much underweight but I think that I got used to and expect to stay that way. I still don't feel like I have the energy that I used to. I was running up to 6 miles about 3-4 times a week. I can't do that...

Today some one told me about Glycol nutrients. It is made by Mannatech and is to be very successful in healing the body repair itself on the celluar level. I've look at their websit but couldn't find much. I did however see a FQ&A from some one that stated, "I can not have gluten, is your product gluten-free?". Their reply was a little strange, some...

I am also new to this forum but do have a few answers. Nexium is gluten-free, not sure about the others. Your pharmacists should be able to give you the drug companys 800# to let you call to see if the others are gluten-free. I looked at Viactive the other day, I don't think that it is but you should be able to call and find out. Also, you probably can...

Dustin, I was told 10 yrs ago that I had non-tropical sprue and that was it. I became very ill several years ago, seen a new doctor and that is when I was told about being gluten-free. I took it serious for a while but stopped soon after. I have not been gluten-free for about 6 yrs. I'm 34 yrs old and have been told that my life expectance is 3 more...

I made someone's recipe for gluten-free Kung Pao Chicken IT WAS AWESOME!!! Even my husband liked it. The other kids are eating it and liking it as well. I haven't told them it's gluten-free. After reading the cookbook I'm getting my son tested

Thanks to all!! I've been out buying gluten-free cookbooks etc. I told my husband that we were having a total gluten-free supper tonight. His comment was "no were not, I guess we will have to go out to eat and you can stay home." I do sort of feel as thought my gut is shot but I've been told it will take A LONG time to repair the damage and it will...

I'm new to this forum. I have a GI doctor that I've fired several times. MY celiac disease is so out of control. My biopsy's were terrible (complete/total Villa atrophy), my lab's were all critical IGG (?#) IGA >150, Iron levels, sever anemia, WBC 3, low every thing. I 2 wks ago I had to have my gallbladder remove due to severe chronic cholycystitis...

I make a lot of mexican food, taco's & enchilada's. Anything to spice up dull/boring chicken (mainly for me), I need ideals of marinades, soups to cook w/ for thickening. I use a lot cream of chicken, mushroom, etc.) stir fry's can't find anything like teriyaki (soy sauce's not sure of but doesn't give the same taste or effect) My family love's pasta...

I am having a VERY hard time staying on a strict gluten-free diet. I'm 34 yrs old and cook for 7. Most of the foods I have tasted are not very good. I HATE shopping for foods that I can eat, it takes way too long to shop. Not to metion preparing meals for my family a night is just as bad. I feel that I can not deprive them because of me and can not justify...
