mamaw replied to jkrc717's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
side note, for some celiac people corn causes many problems.. One reason is corn is CC a lot & we tend to go overboard on corn as a replacement for wheat....I would look at non gmo corn snacks....A little corn chips is okay but don't go overboard....There are some tasty gluten-free pretzels, also kale chips... -

digestive enzymes ie: We use digest gold! It breaks down the carbs, proteins & starches in the food you eat helping the gut handle the food so as not to cause a lot of issues... Think of probiotics as the gentle warriors who provide the gut with friendly flora...... you need both........ -

If that is all your eating then you are not getting a balanced diet.....And your body is fighting back .......You need to eat a clean healthy diet ie: grass fed beef, wild caught fish, organic chicken, veggies steamed ( raw is harder to digest) & some fruits.... and yes a few healthy snacks so you don't feel food... -

mamaw replied to 3bears2's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Gums really are not healthy for us but , Some of the new bakers of gluten-free are becoming more aware of healthy nutrition & are starting to bake without gums, loads of sugar & tons of starches....so it is moving in the right direction....xanthan gum is derived from corn so if one has a corn allergy guar gum would... -

ARCHIVED Tell Me About The Koolatron Cooler
mamaw replied to BlessedMommy's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
IF you are looking for a great kooler of total freezer type for your auto, go to an off road store ... We just bought a ARB for traveling.. We have a larger one called a coolmatic.. Remember the less amps they use the easier they work in an auto.....Do your homework.. The type I speak of are more expensive but lasts for years... -
ARCHIVED Hotel Waffle Makers With gluten-free Waffle Mix?
mamaw replied to SMRI's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I too vote not to use it....when I travel & places have a breakfast for free, I usually take my own cereal, bread, muffin , a toasta bag & use their milk, bowls & use the toaster after a quick check to see if it is fairly clean. Some places never shake out of the crumbs from the catch drawer other clean it out daily... -

ARCHIVED Where To Buy Mayo Packets
mamaw replied to BlessedMommy's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
another place to look would be a restaurant supply store.. Also if you know of a fast food place that uses the brand you enjoy go to the manager & they will sell you a dozen or so... I buy a gluten-free salad dressing in packets at our local fast food for 25 cents a piece to carry while traveling....... -

You know the drill it will get better! Some people heal faster than others some have more damage & heal more slowly so honestly no rule of thumb here..

I buy ones that have 100 to 300 uses so they last a good while...There are some that are cheap 5 bucks for2 but they are... -
