    Great Ideas and thanks. Hauled out Italian sausage and provalone from the freezer - will figure out something from this for dinner. Sometimes I get in a cooking rut, and others ideas really help to get out of it. Will definetly try other recipes as my zucchini piles in on me. Good tip to grate it and freeze it.

    My digestive issues went 75% away since going gluten free, but that 25% is bugging me. I recently baught a bottle of Twinlab Pancreatin. Anyone know if this works? And, if I start using it, will it diminish my bodies ability to produce my own pancreatic enzymes , rendering me "addicted" to them? I need to know if I can use them for a short period of...

    I was sick for 2 years before going gluten free and so depressed that I almost started seeing a shrink. Within a short time (few weeks?) I was in the kitchen, and I realized that I felt HAPPY! Part of it was probably just being so sick for so long - that in itself can make one depressed. But I notice now that when I'm glutened, the deprresion comes back...

    The water soluable vitamin will be eliminated in the urine at a certain point, so my Doc told me to split my multis and take 1/2 am and 1/2 pm.

    I'm pretty sensitive, but still manage to eat out on occasion. There are several restaurants in my area that I feel safe with so I tend to stick to them. My pet peeve is a restaurant that has a gluten free menue that has things like " The Blah- Blah Burger _ order with no blah, no blah, no blah, and no blah"! Whats left is a hamburger patty. To me, That...

    I marinade the chicken in buttermilk flavored with some hot sauce and mustard for several hours, then mix mashed poatoe flakes, cormeal, and herbs and spices. Then let most of the buttermilk drain off and coat with mixture and fry. Or, have egg in one shallow bowl, seasoned flour in another, and seasoned bread or cracker or above mixture coating. Dip first...

    I had it years ago when I got on a roll and played 36 holes of golf in one day (bad idea). The pain was very intense and lasted for 6 long weeks. It went away and I've not had it again till 3 weeks ago, in my knee. Not as bad - only took 21/2 weeks to heal. Once again, caused by overdonig it. Have you done anything lately that could have inflamed your...

    My family was sceptical at first but I think it was my determination to stick to the diet and refuse to be budged by what anyone thaught. They are now very supportive. When I think about it, I was scepyical at first. It took several months of going on and off the diet to convince me that I had to go gluten free, so I guess I can't blame them. Just stick...

    And my daughter?

    Hi and welcome. Our house is mainly gluten free. Only exceptions are my husbands sandwich bread, His box of crackers, and individual snack cakes for his lunch - all kept separate from other food. He has one area of the counter he makes a sandwich on, on a plate. Most shared meals are gluten free ( exept spaghetti and pizza for economy). If I had a child...

    I mentioned that I checked it out years ago. Just checked it out again. Boy, have things changed! It's actually doable now. It only cost $144.00 for a once a week booth space for 41/2 months, and you can even get a 1 month (60) or 1 week (18) space. You no longer need a restaurant licence (plenty expensive), but now you can get an in home baking license...

    I eat Lay's chips. Not much of a sandwhich eater, but occasionally make them using corn totillas in place of bread. Can also stuff them with eggs, sausage, ect. for breakfast. And they are dirt cheap!

    I make pumkin - chocolate chip cookies. Really good. I'll try this recipe and let you know if it turna out.

    What do you eat for the first 2 weeks? I'm thinking about trying this.

    I looked into that idea several years ago, before celiac. In my area, the rules were so stringent and tne cost too high, so I abandoned it. Maybe the've changed. I have a small rental house and am getting sick to death of renters. Every once in a while, I think of converting it into a small gluten-free bakery, but I couldn't sell retail because of zoning...

    I keep a jar of vanilla sugar all the time. If I don't use it, I occasionally just open the jar and smell it. God, it smells good!

    Polenta is cornmeal. I use the tube stuff for frying (ease), but make my own for sides. basically, you boil cornmeal with liquid. If it's a side, use it warm. If you put it in a loaf pan and refridgerate, it becomes solid and you can cut it into shapes for baking or frying. here's a recipe for cheddar polenta: 1 cup milk 2/3 cup polenta (cornmeal...

    I am 5'4"" and got down to 86 lbs. A walking skelatin. Been gluten free for 7 months and have slowly gained 10 lbs. I'm going to add some exercise now that I'm feeling stronger. My dumb doc saw nothing wrong with a thin woman losing 25 lbs. in a few months! I don't have any faith in the medical community anymore.

    I made these last night and was not to happy. They flattened out and several fell. What size pan do you use? I'm thinking I should have used a smaller one - mine was 9 by 13. They Tasted just alright.

    Quinoa- cook in white wine and vege broth. Lightly saute any veges and add. Throw in a good amount of fresh basil and top with parmeson for the meat eaters. Is good hot or cold and is a complete protein with no meat (I put peices of cooked chicken breast in mine).

    I eat fried polenta with maple syrup and sausage a couple times a week. If you make your own, you can be more flexible, and its easy to make. I make a pepper gravy and add cheddar cheese to soft polenta- really good. You can slice it and use it for a crust for a savory pie, fry in olive oil and top with alfredo sauce, a million things. Anything that goes...

    God, I can't take one thing, much less 3! Especially a toothache. Yes, there is where the glass of wine comes in. Relax, take a deep breath, and scream your lungs out! Hope you feel better.

    I may be wrong, so set me straight if I am, but I read somewhere that Wellbutrin is not gluten-free. Check that out.
