    Happy birthday and may God bless you today!

    Just went to the doc after being gluten free for about a month. He didn't want to do another celiac panel yet, he said that he'd rather wait until after the holidays.....give the diet a little time....and me a little time to heal.....BUT--he said that IF things are looking up, I MIGHT be able to start backing off my Crohn's meds!!! Woohoo!!!!!! With a...

    Well, my Mom got me "Sustenex." I wasn't sure, but after checking it out on their site, they ARE gluten free! Now, I don't wanna get anyone's hopes up or anything....but I was still on the "loose" side even after several weeks of a gluten-free diet....as SOON as I started taking this probiotic.....I mean the VERY NEXT DAY.....I had nearly normal stools...

    We've only been gluten free for a few weeks...but it does get easier! As fas as grab and go breakfasts....I eat toast...I like that Kinnikinnick bread w/some jam...super fast. There's also some new Jimmy Dean breakfast bowls out there...they're GOOD...they've got eggs, ham or bacon, potatoes, and cheese. If we're talking REALLY fast...I go with a boiled...

    Love, love, love, love, love my rice cooker. Did I mention that I LOVE that thing?!?!?! I got it a few years ago before my dx and, of course, I use it like crazy now...but I've always loved it. It's too easy! It's a microwave rice steamer from Pampered Chef...I got it for free for hosting one of those parties...(which I used to do all the time before...

    I wonder if I should start taking a probiotic?? I've heard that they're good...for....ahem......loose stools. Wonder if it would help me? Do any of you guys have any experience with these sorts of supplements...and any others that you might be able to recommend would be GREAT!!! (I just had my first bout of stomach flu post-dx and it has kicked...

    My 3 year old daughter is autistic. We're pretty darned lucky that she's a good eater....and I also think that she's going through a...."phase"...right now...for lack of a better term. She seems to be very open right now...which is good, considering that we've just instituted the gluten-free diet. She's done well...she's country, though...and I think that...

    That's what's got me so irritated about that whole recipe. See, the other day, when I was at Publix...I SAW coconut flour and thought, "Nahh..I don't need that..." So I didn't buy it...then when I went back...they didn't have it!!! I've been kicking my own butt for DAYS now. Ugh!

    I know how you feel...this is TOTALLY not Celiac related....but I went to TJ Maxx to put some stuff on layaway for Christmas. I was in a SUPER kick BUTT mood because I was getting a headstart on all my shopping.... So I had filled my cart to the point of BURSTING and I went back to layaway to get it all checked out....I stood there for 20 MINUTES. I'm...

    Ok, so we tried the coconut chicken last nite....since I couldn't find the coconut flour, I used rice flour.....I might not do that next time....or I might just back off on the amount of flour. It was just a teensy bit mealy...just a TINY bit...it WASN'T bad though..... ...and that apricot/dijon sauce was FAB!!!!!!!!! And I made a rice pilaf...
  11. knitaddict
    Well, it looks like it's a moot point anyway....I went to Publix, where I first saw coconut flour, and they didn't HAVE any. I KNEW that I should've bought it that first time I saw it. Oh well, I just bought some new white rice flour...I'm sure that will work. Ugh--I even drove ACROSS TOWN to the OTHER Publix...no dice. The next time I see that stuff...

    Has anyone ever tried these guys??? I'm thinking about trying some of their baked goods....their hamburger buns look JUST LIKE regular buns!!!!!! Open Original Shared Link

    Man, Gorilla Munch is da BOMB!!!!! That stuff is like kiddie crack! My husband have found ourselves wanting to HIDE it from the kid so that WEEEE can eat it. Anywho--I was surprised to find that Trix, Cocoa Puffs, and Fruity Pebbles are all gluten-free....hope that helps!
  14. knitaddict
    Ahaaa! I didn't know about that!!! Now things are starting to make a little sense. Oh, and I forgot...in addition to backing OFF on the milk...I also had my doc start me on a series of B12 shots...I think that first one might've kicked in yesterday......I kinda cleaned the @#$% out of my house!!! Ugh---and it NEEEEEEEDED it too!

    ARCHIVED Mimi's Cafe

    knitaddict replied to newg's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    Oooo, this is GOOD news! Mimi's was one of my new favorites before my dx....so it's GOOD to know that I can still eat there without too much drama.

    Thanks guys...an update...I've backed off a GOOD BIT on the milk...no more cereal for now...I just use milk IN things...and it seems to be helping. As a sidenote...I would like to share with you the dangers of buying cheap toasters. So I went to Dollar General and bought a $5 toaster for my Kinninnick bread...(to which I've quickly become ADDICTED...

    Ok, so I've got a TERRIBLE CRAVING for coconut chicken. I used to get it from Super Suppers...but I just don't want to take a chance of getting glutened...so I found a recipe that sounds identical. The only problem is the flour...I don't know which flour to try....rice flour, or coconut flour...and THEN there's this: I've heard that coconut flour is great...

    FREAKY!!!!!!!!!! I don't BLAME you for being a little wary! I've slept thru a shot....but I was on a LOT of morphine...(pancreatitis/gall bladder--ugh). I can take Ambien without any ill effects....I even pop right awake after about 7 hrs....but that Lunesta....that's some freaky stuff. I wonder about that new stuff....it starts with an "R" like rozeram...

    Thanks...I don't mean to be whining and complaining...I just think that the false hope (AND hormones!) probably got to me this week. I think that when I felt better right from the start, it lulled me into this sense of security....I was like, "YES! This is IT! I'm finally going to get BETTER!" Only to have whatever happened....be it accidental glutening...

    This kinda ties into another post about sleep-eating. My doc gave me some Lunesta about a year ago...just some samples...about a weeks worth. I took them and could NOT figure out WHY I would wake up in the morning with the NASTIEST TASTE in my mouth!?!? I told the doc about it and she said that it was the Lunesta...sometimes it causes a whole "the cat...

    When I first went gluten free...about 2 weeks ago???...maybe?? I was feeling better right off the BAT. Now, I'm not feeling so great. I'm so sorry to do this to the guys out there....but could it be my....ahem...monthly??? Does THAT cause some of you to flare up again? Or is this just my Crohn's talking back to me??? Argh...I'm so SICK of being...
  22. knitaddict
    Damn, I was just rereading everyone's posts....looks like I need some more stuff for my pantry! Sorghum? As in molasses? Har, har, har...just kidding...but where would I find that? Wonder if I could get it at Kroger? That's where I get the rice flour.....hmmmm...... All I've got in the way of flours are rice flour, Pamela's pancake and baking...
  23. knitaddict
    O.M.G. I HAVE to do that to mine!!!!!! Now I'm going to HAVE to make it!

    I was thinking about trying it crustless. I was looking for a crustless pumpkin pie recipe...which I found easily...when I stumbled across a blog...the writer mentioned "bringing along a crustless toll house pie for the other Celiac's." So I figured that it COULD be done....we'll see how easy it is......

    SWEEEEEET! Thanks! *doing the happy dance*
