mamaw replied to cruelshoes's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I think Adelle has a very good kit....Some other foods are some gluten-free freeze- dried goods. Like the ice cream for snacking ( freeze-dried of couse) Costco's & Sam's also carry cans of meats, turkey, chicken,roast beef & wild alaskan salmon that are long keepers. Another is dinty moore beef stew, which can be heated over an open fire by pouring... -
ARCHIVED Anyone Else Have A Problem With Constipation?
mamaw replied to marlene57's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I'm soooo excited !!!! I bought a bottle of raspberry Kombucha tea from Whole Foods last week.... I made two servings out of it & I've went to potty both times I drank it.... Claims states it good for all kinds of things but maybe I found a non-drug type thing for my big C......it is made from a fermented mushroom... mamaw -

ARCHIVED Anyone Else Have A Problem With Constipation?
mamaw replied to marlene57's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I was just in the hospital for a week for not being able to have a bowel movement for almost two weeks. I have tried everything all the rest of you have tried or now do.... Mag Citrate stays in the bowel the longest so it is the good one for the big C so a dozen doctors told me. Before going to the ER I took two Fleets enemas with no luck plus ^ mag citrate... -
We eat gluten-free oats daily for about a year now. I would not recommend eating them if you are new to the gluten-free way of eating. I think one should be on the gluten-free diet for at least two years before adding oats (gluten-free). I think Cream Hill Estates is the best.... No one can really say if you will have a reaction--- I've had reactions to...

mamaw replied to Worriedwife's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Cross-contamination!!!!!! is what is wrong with Quaker oats or any main stream ones. There are several companies that now sell oats that are safe. Lara's oats from Canada are good & my fav. Also the gluten-free oat co. fron Powell, Wy sells them. mamaw -

ARCHIVED Philly Gluten Free Cooking Spree
mamaw replied to SunnyDyRain's topic in Publications & Publicity
I read the info from the website. It appears that for $50.00 you get to watch & cheer on your favorite doctors or area chefs. Get a cookbook & that's it. I did e-mail the group to ask if any gluten-free food would be available for the attendees.... I'll post my findings as soon as I hear from them.... It looks like a fundraiser for the group..... -

ARCHIVED Is Oatmeal Safe
mamaw replied to Aunt Poppy's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I agree with the other posters..... one thing I might add is if you are gonna eat oats (only the gluten-free ones) start out very slowly.... A quarter cup to a half cup to begin with. I still only eat this amount at one sitting & I have been eating them since they came out.... I still can't believe I missed oats!!!! Must be part horse,,,,,,,,,,,,nayyyyyyyyy... -
Boy, did I get blasted from the endo doc!!!! He is a very strong advocate of synthoid & nothing else. I asked or mentioned armour & he blew his top & stated in a stern voice that it should be removed from the market immediately.. He is very mainstream & hates alternative docs or ideas. I just keep telling him that there is a place for both...
