  1. Give it more time, and i would also eliminate soy, dairy, and oats (definitely eliminate cross contaminated, but also gluten-free oats for now). most people find tye dont tolerate those until they have been on the diet longer and have had more time to heal. i didnt feel better until about 6 months, then i added dairy with success, but found i could not tolerate...
  2. I would say raven gave you the best advise. but maybe my experience will help you to feel better. i glutened myself just a couple months back... i was down for a full week. first the gi symptoms that are bad enough... but after the first two days of gi symptoms and a bit of brain fog, i was just so fatigued and my insides just ached. you arent necessarily...
  3. i avoid shopping at wal-mart at all costs. haha but around here they dont have the gluten-free section either so there isnt much pulling me in there back in my hometown in OK the local grocery store (not a chain, locally owned and managed) would buy everything i asked for. i miss those little businesses like that it is good to hear that bigger businesses...
  4. I eat carmike cinemas buttered popcorn. not those gourmet ones though. havent been brave enough to try those. but as far as the buttered popcorn, i havent had a problem. other than feeling too full because some days too much corn gives me almost like indigestion maybe? not sure. but ive never been glutened is my point here.
  5. The other day we went to myrtle beach in south carolina. i packed food ahead of time (two pieces of fruit and some pound cake- sooo healthy lol) because i was sure there would be nothing but unsafe foods there. so imagine my surprise when i said to my husband and our friends "pick wherever you want and i'll eat when we go back to the car" and they picked...
  6. wow and there you are offering to let them keep the bread even though you paid the same price. uh hello! its not rocket science. give me the meat, cheese, lettuce and tomato! people are soooo frustrating. i hope your next experience is better. next time take your own bread and see how much THAT confuses them!!!
  7. I've gotten glutened at a restaurant twice now. CC is a big issue. but also somtimes in order for your meal to be gluten free you need to specify something be changed. for instance, order your salad mixed in a separate bowl awithout croutons. or like carraba's you can have grilled chicken without the grill baste. the first time i ate at carraba's it was perfect...
  8. there's a mashed potato casserole i make that everyone loves. cook your potatoes, mash them with butter, cream cheese, and sour cream, pour in a 13*9 pan and cover with cheddar cheese (i mix a little in with the rest of the mixture) and bake for somewhere around 30-45 minutes. oh yeah and of course i use salt, pepper, and garlic powder you can make...
  9. when you start a gluten free diet you have to give your body time to heal (remember it has been constantly bombarded with gluten until recently) for me it took me three months before i could eat without feeling awful. i cut out all dairy and cheese until 6 months. i highly recommend cutting out dairy (and in your case soy and casein and probably oats too...
  10. im not sure what kind of pasta you were going to try making... but this is the only noodle i have made from scratch yet. but wow they are good! its a homemade egg noodle: (from Carol Fenster's Wheat free recipes and menus-VERY good book) 2 large eggs 1/4 cup water 1 T canola oil for hand method (reduce to 1 tsp for machine method) 1/2 C brown rice...
  11. have you tried Schar or Glutino gluten free crackers? schar are my favorite but i dont hear much about them from other people.... so i dont know how widely available they are. glutino are very good to. not quite a ritz but what are you gonna do haha. there are also nutthins and rice crackers that are good. but they arent the same kind of cracker. crunchier...
  12. if it says "may contain wheat" i would STAY AWAY. that to me would sound off the alarms. that means they probably share uncleaned lines and change the formulation often. as far as im concerned if GV brand doesnt say gluten-free i dont buy. that cereal would not be worth the risk
  13. Open Original Shared Link this is a link to the recipe i got out of my cookbook from roben ryberg "Gluten Free Kitchen." she really knows her stuff. i like to change the flour mix though.. last time i did cornstarch equal to the amount called for but subbed half the potato starch for buckwheat flour because i hadnt ever used them. these turn out...
  14. I found a recipe for cinnamon pull apart bread online a while ago and the picture looked sooo yummy. but the recipe used pillsbury grands biscuits... i have made gluten free biscuits but my dough never acts like a canned biscuit dough (not that im unhappy about that- our biscuits are better imho). any ideas how i can make my own version of this? or if someone...
  15. hey hannah! im a celiac hannah too! you're the first one ive met so far im nineteen and a sophomore in college. ive been gluten free a little over three years and have learned to make almost anything i want to be gluten free. most recen success: cinnamon rolls. next endeavors: poptarts (what can i say?? i miss them lol) and crackers anyways im...
  16. I can answer a few questions. i take papaya enzyme for digestion and b12. buy them both at GNC because most of their products will say "gluten free" under their ingredient list. as far as throwing away old dishes etc. here are the things that need to be replaced: toaster wooden things(spoons, cutting boards, etc) cast iron non stick (such as teflon...
  17. i have a box of it too. i checked their website and it was on the safe list and they are a company that will always disclose. i have eaten a bag with hubby and didnt get sick! so enjoy (if you're a super sensitive i would call the 800 number and ask about CC though)
  18. are you subbing the starch for a recipe that uses regular flour? if you use a starch in place of regular flour the suggested amount is half of the amount of gluten flour. rice flour however can be subbed in equal amounts. also you must use a whisk and stir stir stir constantly. i make gravy with starches and if i walk away long enough to drain my poatoes...
  19. I agree one hundred percent with trillumhunter. encourage them to get tested. because in the chance they arent Gluten Intolerant, they may gain weight instead of lose (then they might just get angry with you! ) I gained weight because eating gluten makes me shed pounds FAST. if i get glutened i will lose over five pounds in two days. i walk around 5'...
  20. the mask isnt necessary. most people are not so sensitive that leftover gluten particles can really hurt them. just wash your hands before eating and whatnot. i think you can easily clean your cabinets to make them safe for you! oh yeah i also would get that oven cleaner stuff and clean out the microwave if those are both furnished with the apt
  21. it was three months for me before i had a "normal" bm. this is going to take time. i started out with plain unseasoned chicken as the only source of protein. i ate fresh fruits and veggies. i even left out dairy until i think 6 mos. i would recommend these ideas to you also. your small intestine has had gluten in there causing you villi to flatten and the...
  22. i have had issues with peanut butter as well. i think for me it is the high fat content because peanuts are fine. if i eat too much (sometimes i think its just a bad day) i am in serious pain. i feel bloated, gassy and feel burning searing pains in my stomach like theres acid in there. its awful. i can tell a difference between those symptoms and glutening...
  23. i almost never catch anything... if i get sick it is gluten, CC or stress. for me stress will make me sick. almost always. but other than bronchitis once i cant remember ever having a cold or the flu.
  24. thanks! looks like meats absorb the sauce so you have to make more of it. that sounds really good (and a good way to sneak veggies in on my hubby- )
  25. i commented on it. i think she's an idiot but thats just me.... i was diagnosed three years ago and had never heard of it. why would you choose this because of a celebrity? "oh! elizabeth hasselbeck is gluten intiolerant so i should be too!" i never even heard of her before lol wow so its okay to be a vegetarian as long as you are for the right reasons...
