ARCHIVED Ghirardelli Chocolate
sunnybabi1986 replied to maryanno's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Hm, I eat the bars all the time with no problem...is the only chocolate they make with barley the Luxe Milk Crisp? I can't find it on this list: Open Original Shared Link Why is it not listed? -
ARCHIVED Anyone Take Immodium For Their Bowel Issues
sunnybabi1986 replied to willabec's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I started taking Align (a probiotic) last year before I knew I had a gluten problem. It cleared up a LOT of my tummy/intestinal issues and when I went gluten free, I stopped taking it. Apparently a mistake, as my tummy issues came back. It seems that my body needs probiotics to function properly? In any case, probiotics were what sealed the deal for... -
ARCHIVED Acquaintance Claiming There's A Cure For Celiac
sunnybabi1986 replied to Coleslawcat's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Or maybe accupuncture...I've heard that few times (that it can cure Celiac disease-I wish! We'd all be cured if that were the case!) -
ARCHIVED Orvill Redenbacher Buttery Flavor Popping Oil?
sunnybabi1986 replied to hazeleyez682's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I use the exact oil you are referring to and have never gotten sick from it. Con Agra will not hide gluten ingredients in the words "artificial flavors" or otherwise, so if there isn't wheat, barley or rye listed, it's safe! Enjoy! I LOVE that stuff! So much healthier than butter -
ARCHIVED Purposely Hurting Self
sunnybabi1986 replied to revenant's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I keep my freezer stocked with Udi's bread and muffins for times when I really really crave gluten. The taste is so similar (go Udi's!) that I can't tell the difference! Also, some good quality gluten free pasta will do the trick for me. Toss it with an olive oil/lemon/garlic/parmesan sauce and I forget all about wanting gluten! But as others mentioned... -
ARCHIVED Nature Valley Roasted Nut Crunch
sunnybabi1986 replied to wowzer's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
If the oats are not specified as "Certified Gluten Free Oats" then they are NOT safe. They are cross contaminated and should not be eaten. -
ARCHIVED Gluten-Free Bisquick
sunnybabi1986 replied to MaryannG's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Same here! The Chicken Pot Pie, Cheesy Biscuits, and fried Chicken recipes on their site are making my mouth water! I'm contacting my local stores to make sure they know to start carrying it as soon as it's available. -
ARCHIVED Gluten-Free Bisquick
sunnybabi1986 replied to MaryannG's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Yeah, I'll probably pass on the Hamburger Helpers as I make fried rice from scratch all the time, but it's excellent for my family members who are clueless as to what to make when I visit. Hopefully this will give them some ideas/options! -
ARCHIVED Gluten-Free Bisquick
sunnybabi1986 replied to MaryannG's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Has anyone seen the Gluten free Hamburger helpers in stores yet? I'm crossing my fingers and hoping the stores don't pull one on us and mark them up, just for having the words "gluten free" on them.... -
ARCHIVED Confused About This Product
sunnybabi1986 replied to CVRupp's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Hi Scarlett, Well, Fruity and Cocoa Pebbles are NOT labeled gluten free and the manufacturer makes NO claim that they are gluten free, but they do not contain any gluten ingredients. I guess the status is that they're made in a dedicated area? However, if the company starts making them on lines with gluten cereal, there could be cross contamination... -
ARCHIVED Soda..should It Be Eliminated?
sunnybabi1986 replied to looking4help's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Dr Pepper is gluten free, if that's what you're asking. As far as being healthy, not so much, obviously. But it sure makes for a great treat! -
ARCHIVED Confused About This Product
sunnybabi1986 replied to CVRupp's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
We also eat fruity pebbles...and cocoa pebbles, with no issue. -
ARCHIVED Oberto's gluten-free Jerky
sunnybabi1986 replied to G-freegal12's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
It's usually the soy sauce in the beef jerky that contains wheat. Amazon has a yummy gluten free beef jerky that I love though! -
ARCHIVED Cajun Chicken And Corn
sunnybabi1986 replied to Ener-G's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
That sounds yummy! I will definitely put this on my list of meals to make! -
You should find a new doctor when you talk to him/her about going off of gluten for awhile because your symptoms fit, and he/she then tells you that celiac is quite rare and very unlikely, and besides, it's really impossible to eliminate gluten from your diet (laughing while he/she says this). Grrrrr....btw, this "nice" doctor then proceeded to diagnose...

ARCHIVED Hot Dogs That Are Gluten Free
sunnybabi1986 replied to a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Udi's is coming out with a hot dog bun?!! When did I miss this? Wow, that would make me jump for joy! I know I saw that you can use their bagels as a hot dog bun somehow... -
I know this has been discussed MANY times on here, and the consensus was that Trix is not labeled gluten free, but no one has reported any reactions to it. I've been eating it for the past several months with no reaction. I checked Clan Thompson's Celiac Food SmartList today, though, and saw that they have it labeled as "NOT gluten free" as of 05/04/2...

Cap'n Crunch Gluten Free?
sunnybabi1986 replied to KristenPK's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Here is a good list to refer to if you aren't sure which General Mills products are gluten free: http://www.liveglutenfreely.com/products/default.aspx You can click on the brands on the side to see which products are gluten free, and you can also print a pocket list to take to the store with you. -
The only pure spices I've seen so far that are not safe are Great Value (Wal-Mart Brand). They disclose that their spices "May contain traces of wheat." on the packaging. However, this is the only instance I've seen where a spice is unsafe. As the others mentioned, McCormick is a great company to trust. ALL of their pure spices (oregano, paprika, thyme, pepper...

ARCHIVED Grocery List/menu/meal Plan
sunnybabi1986 replied to danaf617's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Hi! General Mills has a site with all their gluten free foods listed Open Original Shared Link. If you click on "products" you get a food list. If you click on "recipes" you get lots of yummy recipes using their products. AWG makes Always Save, Best Choice, and Clearly Organic products. Their gluten free list is Open Original Shared Link. Hormel... -
I've eaten Wendy's chili numerous times without issue. I suspect that what you're talking about is an isolated incident. Something that these workers do at this restaurant only, maybe? I can't imagine that the rest of the workers at the rest of the chain do the same thing. At least, I sure hope not! Of course, eating at restaurant that serves wheat...

ARCHIVED Completely Grain Free
sunnybabi1986 replied to farmwife67's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Ahhh, I understand. Thanks for clarifying! -
ARCHIVED Completely Grain Free
sunnybabi1986 replied to farmwife67's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Huh? Where did you find this? Just curious, as this is not what I have learned. There are lots of grains that do not contain any gluten. -
ARCHIVED Since Going Gluten Free....
sunnybabi1986 replied to pues's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Gluten free for 7 months (has it really been that long?): -No constant nausea anymore -No more stomach cramps and pain!! -Able to stay awake during the day, although still fighting some fatigue -No more joint pain and body aches, Hooray!! -Finally starting to gain a little bit of weight (I'm very underweight) Hooray for gluten free!... -
ARCHIVED Enterolab Testing & Validity?
sunnybabi1986 replied to vbecton's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Ordering the test from Enterolab was probably the best thing I've ever done in my life. I was sick for months and months, worried sick because I had no health insurance. I read a lot online and celiac/gluten intolerance seemed to match my symptoms well. Still, I was skeptical that I had a problem with gluten and put off going gluten free for awhile. I finally...
