  1. yay! i just got the country kitchen butter flavor because my husband said he wanted some. im trying it too! i tried to pure maple syrup but i like my pancakes soaked and i had to use a lot of the pure kind.. waaaay too sweet haha
  2. no problem! for anything containing oats.. they HAVE to say "certified gluten free" or they are glutenous. however the gluten free oats from Bob's Red Mills are amazing what others kind of snack foods do you and your family like? maybe we can give recipe or good products that we've all tried... im still trying to come up with a comparable poptart recipe...
  3. if i am very stressed i can eat fresh fruits and veggies all day long and you would still think gluten had snuck in some how. i dont know how many others have this problem but i have always been like that. i have to make myself relax so i am pretty picky about the things i allow to preoccupy my thoughts. it takes some training because stressing over things...
  4. I cant do ANY artificial sweetners so my answer wont be helpful at all sorry... when i even have a diet soda i will feel like the flu for at least three days. awful experience. it was worse than a glutening. also i had a reaction to honey nut chex but it wasnt a typical gluten reaction for me. it made me very tired and gave a me a queesy tummy... gluten...
  5. if gluten is your only issue then kraft and jet puff are safe.. i think wal-marts brand is too but its been a while sionce i grocery shopped there. i havent ever checked the marshmallow fluff before... can you use it iinstead of marshmallows?
  6. Have you always had problems with it or just since being gluten free? i am asking because i have had problems with it since well before i started having gluten intolerance symptoms... and i can eat an apple every day with absolutely no issues. a glass of apple juice though will make me sick for a few hours after drinking it. no fun
  7. sorry to put a damper on your post but Cheerios brand cereal is not gluten free. there are gluten free versions of oat cereal but those are made with commercially processed oats. on a positive note, i keep cocoa or fruity pebbles around the house i like ian's pizza kit. its fast and EASY and you just have to add your cheese and i think a couple things...
  8. They referred to gluten as a "dietary bogeyman"! Can you say insulting? That, to me, says that they think we're all just afraid of some pretend monster... grrr. i bet they wouldnt dismiss it so easily if they have ever dealt with ANY allergy or intolerance
  9. The words do not undermine the severity of Celiac Disease but in context i think it would do just that. someone just reading that not knowing much about it would probably think that it means that Cliac Disease is just a big scare for people who just want something to blame their stomachache on. Also i do not think they know enough about gluten intolerance...
  10. Hello i thought i might give another experience. for reference purposes i'll tell you about me first. i am a caucasian famale. i am 5'8" and weigh about 125. now my celiac background: 1. I suffered symptoms throughout middle school and my first two years of high school. My symptoms got much worse at the end of my sophomore year. I went from 135 pounds...
  11. Ian's brand makes a pizza kit which is easy and yummy. i have made it a couple times and was very impressed
  12. Okay soo... are they like moldy or something to that effect? im asking because my first experience with BRM's baking mix was a bread mix. it was also my first experience with bean flour and i thought the mix was bad because of the smell... i went ahead and baked it and it acted just like it was supposed to... fell a little but looked like bread... but...
  13. i also looked it up and found it only in baked beans and refried beans... if you want to bake with it my advice is to try a very small amount (a fourth or less of your flour mix would be the bean flour) so that you dont overwhelm the other flavors in your baked goods. bean flours are known for very strong taste/smell. my first time to make a bread with...
  14. If you dont mind my asking.... you are allergic to peanuts or cannot tolerate them correct? what does your reaction to them look like? i have been trying to figure out if i have a peanut allergy or if they simply dont sit well with me. if i eat peanut butter by itself or just with an apple it gives me horrible stomach pain and feelin like i have gas with...

    ARCHIVED Gluten

    I also have a gluten and gluten free shared kitchen with my hubby. we use the same dishes and silverware and stainless steel skillets. we use a dishwasher. to keep my kitchen safe here are mymain precautions: we do not share butter. he has his tub and i have mine and they are not the same brand so there is no risk of confusion. bread crumbs are spread...
  16. here's an idea: make your own granola. i like nut mixes with m&ms added or granola bars made of oats and chocolate chips. there are lots of things you can take. dried fruit. i work at a small retail store with one food machine that only carries hostess cakes, oreos, and twixes.... absolutely nothing safe. and when i looked in the fridge to evaluate the...
  17. I took tri sprintec for 12 months with no problems. the next one i got onto was another that was generic for tri cyclen and it made me sick within three weeks. i contacted the manufacturer and they had wheat starch... so i called my gyno and requested another scrip which hasnt bothered my stomach but hasn't done as good of a job of controlling my mood swings...
  18. i would cover it with foil if it were me just in case. then you could have your own section that is easily identifiable and there wouldnt be concern of the possibility that all the gluten was effectively washed away.
  19. here's mine: whenever you eat..everything eventually makes it to to your intestine. when gluten gets there (ANY amount of gluten) it damages the villi which is what is used t absorb nutrients. when those are damaged they can keep you from absorbing anything. it is basically poison to our system. it is possible that we may not even feel sick on the outside...
  20. My symptoms didn't crop up as a young child.. i was a preteen. and for me it was normal for me to have a bm maybe once a week. sometimes it was more frequent but not often. also when i did go it was usually diarhhea or would soon become diarhhea. i never heard of celiac so i became much worse before we found a diagnosis. my advice is to find a different dr...
  21. I read somewhere that if you eat a lot of carbs it triggers in your brain cravings for more... now i dont know if this is true but i have heard from people who cut out grains and they said that after a while they stopped having cravings for bread products and for sweets. dont know if this is helpful at all... i also know that when you're glutened your body...
  22. Just an update: Dr told me that it was probably bacteria in my contact that got in my eyes and were irritatig it. since it never became inflamed or puffy he said it probably hadnt actually become a full blown infection but would have had i continued wearing contacts. apparently bacteria in your eyes can make you very sensitive to lights... the problems have...
  23. this recipe needs something. i tried these last night. i used the cup of tapioca flour and baking powder, then added two large egg yolks and the mozzarella. the dough did not come together at all. added milk for liquid because my cream was bad... maybe that was my problem. but even after adding liquid it still did not help at all. so my sister and i looked...
  24. found this forum: https://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/index.php?showtopic=34418 but it is rather outdated by now. maybe call the company? According to this: Open Original Shared Link *does not contain gluten ingredients* but for me still a no-no. MSG! argh hope that helps some:)
  25. Pamela's Mix is good to have on hand. The larger bag has recipes for pancakes, muffins, banana bread, and all kind of other goodies. biscuits and gravy? cornstarch to thicken the gravy is what momma always used so no big deal there right? i am a big fan of fruit in the morning. kinnikinnick also sells frozen bagels that i just love. i like them better...
