Enjoy your brownie!! Funny - my dog does not do well on grain based foods, either - most folks don't realize that getting corn and grains out of their diets will make a world of difference - and he's (and my cat too) have both been eating grain free since last July. It's made a world of difference with them. Actually, my husband and daughter are the...

sweetfudge, thanks for the review! I'll be making my first gluten-free trip to Disney in May (long time Disney traveler, though) and I knew they were accomodating, but sounds like a dream come true! Oh... that's right... it's Disney! I'm not sure yet if I'm looking forward to the new Celiac part of the trip and still just getting used to all the fun...

THANK YOU all for your wisdom and encouragement. I don't believe my family understands it, despite my attempts to educate. My husband refuses to acknowledge that even the slightest amount of a gluten product, say in a seasoning or something, can continue to cause damage. ("oh, well it's just seasoning, there's nothing in it you can't eat." or "well...

First, sorry but I'm whiny tonight. I'm going through a rough patch and trying to find out if my feelings are normal. I found out about a month ago that I have Celiac disease. I went about it with a positive attitude, planning new menus for my family (husband, self and adult daughter in college); Been eating very carefully, and I've been feeling better...

There are several grain free dog foods on the market (mine eats grain free), but Chicken soup is definitely NOT one of them. Natural Balance makes a sweet potato-based food, but I don't feed it because it's first ingredient IS sweet potato, not a meat meal or meat. You might look into the Nature's Variety line - Instinct and their raw formulas (their...

sbj - oh wow! Thanks for that information. I'm going to ask about that test.

first of all, thank you all!! SBJ - yes, 46 was very young. This was back in 1968 - I was 6 years old at the time and have very little memory other than knowing he was very sick for a long time. He has been living with a colostomy for YEARS and is still kickin' at 86. the diagnosis at that time of the cancer was "familial polyposis". He sent me a copy...

I'm new here, and thought I'd ask all of you for your opinions. Being the daughter of someone with colon cancer (dad had it when he was 46, same age as I am now) I get regular screenings. I have diverticulosis, and struggle with occasional bouts of diverticulitis. About 5 years ago I went to my GP about bouts of severe cramping followed by diarrhea...

great advice, thanks to you all! I took a bag of Trix cereal for something crunchy, and took some banana chips. I bought a bag of Cheetos because I didn't see any gluten ingredients in them, but didn't open them. I'm going to have to try the microwave popcorn trick next time. Is it the Orville Redenbacher's brand that is gluten free? This is going to...

OK, so I'm very new at this... VERY new. I have word from my GI doc after blood test and biopsies that I have Celiac disease. I'm learning what I can't eat, and what I can eat. I am going to the movies with a friend of mine tonight, and don't know if I can eat my customary popcorn, or if I need to pack some gluten-free snack. Will there be anything there...
