To add to my previous message: Here's a link to Fantastic which lists some of their instant soups. We've enjoyed the split pea during a lot of trips. Open Original Shared Link Hope this is helpful.

Hi, I've used the following on long trips, hope this helps: Breakfast--Instant grits or a quick rice hot cereal by Lundgrens, with dried fruit and nuts. Or for the first morning or two corn tortillas keep ok in cool weather, then put instant eggs and veggies in them. Lunch--Lara Bars, rice crackers (I repackage them for the pack) with protein of...

ARCHIVED Wisconsin Celiacs Unite!
veggf replied to frenchiemama's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Hi All, I'm not in your area (northern Wisconsin/northern Minnesota) any more, but I loved Grandma Ferdon's in Hayward. There is a company in Madison that makes great gluten-free veggie burgers that I think are only available in the upper Midwest--I miss the burgers. Jeany, where can you eat out on the Range? When I'm there all I ever end up doing... -
ARCHIVED Mary's Gone Crackers
veggf replied to micheleph's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Hi, I eat Mary's Gone Crackers all the time without a problem. I think their factory is dedicated gluten-free. Could it be the fiber or an undiagnosed allergy to an ingredient? Frustrating situation, hope it improves:) -
ARCHIVED Support Group On Oregon?
veggf replied to sunshyne's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
I realize that these are old posts, but Nancy, I've heard that the Salem group is incredible, but that was a few years ago. Tom, I haven't heard of active groups outside of Portland and Salem areas. I heard a rumor a few years ago that there was a bit of a group in Bend. Hope this helps! I asked this in another thread, but does anyone know of any... -
Oh my god! I love this site, someone always has something similar going on in their gluten-free lives--it makes me feel so normal:) I have had crazy gluten dreams, where somehow I either cheat or I'm tricked into it. Once the dream was so real that I woke up expecting to be sick because I "ate" a gluten baked good. Weird how our unconscious deals with...

Hi, Does any one know of any gluten-free friendly restaurants in Bend, Oregon? We prefer not to eat at chain restaurants--like to shop/eat local. Thanks for your help! Have a Good Day!

ARCHIVED Larabars
veggf replied to Jnkmnky's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I love Larabars. I'm not an "extremist", but I do like foods with fewer preservatives. The Cherry Pie flavor is my favorite--I love dried cherries. I tried their ginger one recently and it is really good. A lot of the women who I are in my cycling club love Larabars and they are not even Celiacs. Everyone has different tastes:) Have a Good Day... -
I love it. It is funny. It is frank. Some days that phrase just sums it up. I think that the shirts would help raise awareness the same amount that any other "celiac shirt" would. I have to say this--I have Celiac Disease, it is frustrating, an inconveinence, and at times scary=it sucks. But I am learning to cope with it. I don't feel blessed to...

Hi, I've also had people say the "oh, maybe I should have celiac disease too, so I can lose weight", like someone else said, I point out that you could see my ribs (not to mention most of the rest of my skeleton too) and that I spent most of my time on the toilet, and that I was dx with arthritis in my early 20's, and anemia, and... I don't get mad...

Hi, I love this conversation! I use to have a co-worker (very difficult person), who would always buy doughnuts and other sweets and literally moan over how good they were. She would give me the "oh, sorry, I know you can't eat this..." kind of line. As someone mentioned before, at least I will always have the better figure than her. Recently...

Thanks for posting the Duluth News Tribune article about the gluten-free food store/restaurant in Hayward, Wisconsin. The article has a couple of "gluten-free" errors, but is great otherwise. I've eaten food from there when I've been visiting family in the region and it was good. I hadn't had a pasty in a long time.

ARCHIVED Major Bloating
veggf replied to Eliza13's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Hi, Congrats on going gluten-free, as tough as it is the diagnosis and gluten-free diet make life easier. At only 10 days gluten-free your body is still doing a lot of adjusting so it just may be that. However, bloating is one of the signs that I get indicating I may have accidently consumed gluten. Most of the time I "just" get "D" and horrid... -
ARCHIVED Cheating...interested How Many Of You Do
veggf replied to celiac3270's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Hi, Cheating isn't an option. Ouch!--accidently gluten consumption hurts enough, why would I want to do that on purpose? And I agree with who ever said it already, the bigger health risks also make me too scared to cheat. -
Hi, My husband and I drove up and ate at Corbett's Fish House today. What a treat! Good "regular" food that I didn't have to worry about! I haven't had either fried fish or french fries at a restaurant since I was diagnosed--I really enjoyed it. And to top it off gluten-free cheesecake! I haven't had cheesecake at all since I was diagnosed almost...

Hi Pisand13, I replied to your other post in the other string as well earlier. I think the reason why I have less energy at times it because I find it more challenging to fuel my body with enough nutrient packed food. And when I say that I have less endurance I mean as compared to before my celiac disease really manifested. Hope this helps. Best...

ARCHIVED Any Celiac Athletes Out There?
veggf replied to pisand13's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Hi, My passion is cycling (road), I ride between 150-200 miles a week and compete. I also run and do a upper body weight work out (though I started a new job two weeks ago and have been balancing my new schedule and workouts). I found that my endurance was still decreased even after I went gluten-free, more a matter of fueling my body than anything,... -
ARCHIVED Vegan Gluten Free Hot Dogs?
veggf replied to annalisa's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Oh I hope there are gluten-free vegan hotdogs. I've only found two brands of gluten-free veggie burgers (vegan), but one was local to Wisconsin and I can't get it out here. Good luck on the hotdogs! -
Hi, I know this thread is a bit old, but talking exercise and celiac disease is so relavent to me that I just had to bring it up. I've read research on Celiac Athletes (all two reports that were ever written) and it suggested that elite Celiac Athletes increase their caloric intake and frequency of meals to compensate for celiac disease. I can...

ARCHIVED Homemade Gf Cinnamon Rolls?
veggf replied to kactuskandee's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Hi, Alright, I'll try...I make a lot of things by "feel", but I've tried to start writing things down since gluten-free baking is difficult (so I can bake it right each time). I haven't wrote down the process for cinnamon rolls though, since I've always made them by feel (I learned when out camping). When I make cinnamon rolls with a gluten-free... -
ARCHIVED Homemade Gf Cinnamon Rolls?
veggf replied to kactuskandee's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Hi, I make gluten-free cinnamon rolls either with a gluten-free baking mix (for pancakes or waffles) or with the gluten-free Pantry Bread mix (either sandwich or the white one). I find I have to add a little more butter/margarine in the middle, but otherwise no problem. I made some for Christmas morning, we really enjoyed them. Hope this helps... -
Hi, I bicycle 150-170 miles a week, run/jog a few times a week, and do a moderate upper-body weights workout 2-3x a week. I try to walk or ride my commuter bike on errands and my husband and I take a walk (more of a stroll) most evenings after supper. I think Celiacs can exercise. But I know I have trouble keeping up my endurance level like I use...

ARCHIVED Larabar
veggf replied to liljules5's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Hi All, I just tried Larabars recently and I'm hooked! They are delicious and great as "road food" on a bicyle. I'm convinced that they are safe, but we all have to make our own decisions. I'm really glad that these exisit--delicious and gluten-free! Try the "Cherry-Pie" flavor Best Wishes All! -
Tyki, Thank you, thank you, I'm so excited to hear that you made gluten-free nutmeat bread. It sounds very similar to potica (a Slovenian food). I've been very disappointed that I couldn't eat potica since dx. I'll have to try it with the mix. Thank You!!!

Hi All, I'm sorry that so many people have had bad experiences with doctors. I've been lucky with my physicans so far. Except that it took my first doctor 2.5-3 years to figure out that I had celiac disease, I thought he was nuts when he first mentioned testing me for it. Glad he did though. I wonder if it is possible for people who are frustrated...
