ARCHIVED Dishwasher/almost Gluten-Free Kitchen Question
mamaw replied to livinthelife's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
You are doing good...it takes time to get it all down pat, remember accidents happens.. I think mishaps are great if you learn from them, some people cheat, make excuses, cheat again & again, if they would have gotten sick on the first mishap they wouldn't ever think of trying it on purpose ever again...... As you go you... -
ARCHIVED Millet Flour
mamaw replied to w8in4dave's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I must be the only one who gets an aftertaste from bread loaded with millet...I do use little millet blended with other flours... It is a good food source....so I try to use a little..

ARCHIVED 18 Month Old Failure To Thrive
mamaw replied to Mamaof2's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Dairy is also broken down at the tips of the villi, this is why many docs now tell patients to cut out dairy...Goat's milk is easier to digest so down the road you may want to give that a try.....no one can say for sure if she has celiac or not.. Trial & error will give you the answer. She is still very young ... SO your options would be to start out... -

ARCHIVED How To Overcome The "wants" + Anxiety
mamaw replied to bburmeister0407's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
You can make a version of almost any wheat food but it sounds like you don't have time to be in the kitchen. When you get the urge try thinking Rat Poison, if I eat this then I may die... sounds harsh but it works.... temptations are always around us whether it be food or another addicting thing. We need to be able to control our desires in all aspects of... -
