mamaw replied to mamaw's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I'm not a wal-mart fan or big shopper there but I did try the gluten-free cream sandwich cookies.. Ten years ago these would have been great but in today's gluten-free arena these are VERY Gritty....I give them a 1 out of 10.. very disappointing. Aldi's line has wal -marts line beat by 100!!!!

ARCHIVED Probiotics - How To Use, Should I Use?
mamaw replied to cristiana's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I'm a VERY strong supporter of probiotics & digestive enzymes for celiac... What do you consider a high strong dose? many contain 50,000 to over 200,000 & are considered fine.... These little gems restore the natural flora in our systems.. Think of them as healthy ( superman) who are fighting off the... -

ARCHIVED Struggling With Being Left Out
mamaw replied to christianmom247's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

ARCHIVED Getting My Home Gluten Free
mamaw replied to ladyhutch's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
you got some great replies..... I think maybe you will want a gluten-free toaster down the road....oddly after being gluten-free for awhile many loose the tastes for foods they originally loved when consuming gluten....the palate does change! Also I think for a child they need a bit of junk food so they don't ... -

It's funny when we think no one else knows or understands about gluten-free, kind of like a deep dark secret & when you come out only to find others ( some) do understand....
