    A diabetic specialist told my diabetic brother-in-law it was better to use a tiny bit of sugar than the fake replacements. I've heard to many bad things about splenda. You can do a search on it but I wouldn't use it. I think some use stevia and its okay. mamaw

    It's a carb world, isn't it???? I know a endo doc who gives his patients metformin to reduce carb cravings.He also has his children on it...... I'm not sure what to think of this treatment! But I must admit he started to have his diabetic patients get tested for celiac and he said alot are now not eating wheat & gluten and he has been able to reduce...

    welcome And by all means tell us what you are craving we all can help. Here is a way to look at your new diet I know this thought has alway helped me. I pretend I've had to move to another place in the world & I can't get my old staples of indgredients so I have to start subbing other things for the things I've alway known in my life.I know this sounds...

    Lymetoo I'm Lutheran also!!!! What I have done in the past is use the wafers from Energ but I really think they are crappy tasting. I now just use my homemade bread cut in a small square wrap it in tin foil . Our pastor gets it from me before service begins and takes it to the altar with him & places it with the others but it is still wrapped tightly...

    Gillan's has a frozen dough that I think is good but I do doctor it up with spices. Also Foods by George has good ready made crusts

    Hi & welcome I will say this is a very smart group of people on this forum , most knowing more than any medical doctor will be able to tell you so you are in the right place....... I will say keep eating gluten until after you are tested, What testing are you having done? there's bloodwork, endo & colonscopy, and the DNA testing. I have now had...

    I never heard anyting rare about having only the DQ8 either. My grandson has it and the doctors at children's hospital in Pittsburgh never made any comment.

    Hi Lymetoo I understand that you don't want to waste $$$$ as none of this food is cheap. I have been traveling around buying different gluten-free food because I have two young kids who get bored with food, so I try to find the best out there.....Here it goes: pasta--- BiAglut then tinkyada Bread mix: Anna's mixes Biscuits: 123 gluten free Pizza...

    Have you had a dermatologist look at your skin? My Dad was like that & he had psorasis. Plus I'm gluten intolerant and I itched like crazy before going gluten-free.I also got hives all the time.I felt like a dog with fleas!!!!!!I ended up taking Atarax so I didn't itch but now I don't have that problem unless wheat & gluten hunts me down!!! mamaw...

    I don't know either if there is a connection but I had mini strokes in my thirties . I didn't get double vision but I didn't know who or where I was and I couldn't speak but I knew everything that was happening around me---- I just couldn't move or speak, and was confused. Sometimes they lasted for seconds and then some longer.My doc treats me with metformin...

    I really don't believe one can grow a new gallbladder. Maybe some weird doc didn't take it all to begin with or it is a fluke....My question is if one person can grow new body parts why can't everyone???// It sounds like science fiction ...... mamaw

    Thanks Jersey Angel & Lee I actually looked it up in a medical drug book. I did stop taking it & so far I'm doing okay with the quinapril.Drugs & me do not get along very well so maybe it was just me. Patti, you said you found it in the gluten-free bible as not being gluten-free......................why do these things get published if its not...

    Someone I met at a gluten-free store just told me that on the box of the Manischevitz potato starch there is a recipe for an angel food cake that is wonderful. Fiddle-faddle where did you buy this at? I didn't want to run to Squirrel Hill & I can't find it at Butler or Cranberry? I ended up getting it while I was in Erie.... mamaw

    carriefaith shared a recipe for soft breadsticks that is so easy to make and they are terrific. I keep adding different things to it to change the end results. Kids love pepperoni and cheese plus some garlic & then they dip them in sauce. It reminds them of pizza hut breadsticks only softer. Anna's bread mix is the very best....and you may want to buy...

    Hello I think you should do bloodwork for celiac sprue.I'm gluten intolerant but my daughter and one of her children are full-blown celiac and the other child is like me intolerant. Also you could do the Dna testing since it appears your not sure of your family history. I think even grandparents didn't tell what illness' they had so alot of info is lost...

    thanks all for the relpy. I did look norvasc up in a drug book and it said wheat as a secondary or the filler part.Once I stopped the norvasc my pain stopped. So now I'm confused!!!!!!Usually when I get wheat or gluten before the sick issues I get terrible pain...... mamaw

    Anyone with a true gluten-free funnel cake they would like to share? My grandson asked me for them. And he asked if you find a recipe will they taste like the carnival funnel cakes?So i guess I need the real deal for this one.....Please help me make a boy happy..... mamaw

    does anyone have a drug book that can tell me if there is any gluten in quinapril? It is used to treat high blood pressure. the dumb doctors had me on norvasc and it has wheat in it. I couldn't figure out where I was getting sick from as they told me it did not have wheat. So here I am with a new script and the same story--- nope no wheat or gluten, well...

    Hi Carriefaith I'm sorry you are so sick. I too was going to say about the Larabars. I love them but they are really sweet and the nuts!!!! Also are you under alot of stress? I know everyone gets stressed when thay don't feel good but I know for me when something is bothering me I react to the smallest of things.I too think sometimes it isn't just one...

    I have tried comfy cuisine and wasn't impressed at all. I had the eggplant parmesan which was fair but was watery. The other ones and the pizza we really disliked. I would not purchase them again. Glad to hear someone liked them...Their are four of us gluten-free and we all said the same thing but we ate them at different times so we we judged them it...

    I hate to sound like a broken record but I agree Foods by George Pizza is good. But I just ate my pizza I ordered from Everybody eats and it was terrific. I did dress it up with my favorite things as I ordered only cheese which is cheaper as I figure I can put my own things on it.IF anyone is interested I do know of a place that will ship Everybody Eats stuff...
