    I have never seen filo dough or puff pastry in my Wal-Mart.....I do know that on the Open Original Shared Link site she has a filo dough to make. Also , Orgran has a puff pastry mix ( not the pastry & pizza mix) I haven't reid it but maybe someone on here has tried Orgran .....

    ARCHIVED A New Doctor Or Go Gluten Free?

    mamaw replied to kerouac's topic in Doctors

    I agree with Lisa- you have every right to obtain copies of all your testing results... I do know that if you are in a lawsuit or workmens comp the offices will charge for records but not to an individual person. For that reason alone I would try one more time & it they hassle you I would find a new doc. Honestly , no one has ever died from lack of eating...

    ARCHIVED Home Test

    mamaw replied to mrburns's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    If you have autoimmune response to gluten & wheat then the only CURE is the gluten free diet. A wheat allergy is just that - an allergy but celiac is an autoimmune disease. No cure-all's there except for the gluten-free diet. It will never go away.The symptoms will get better but one must be gluten-free for life.... I'm not sure if you have an allergy...

    I agree- call them.. I can tell you that they do have gluten-free foods available & many of the Bravo's even have Tinkyada pasta available. I've never had a problem with Bravo's. The day you go you should also phone in to the manager to remind him or her that you will be dining & give them a time to expect your group...

    Yep, when I take gluten-free goodies everyone wants to try them..... David, I'm glad you fit into your gluten-free skin but honestly there is no reason why you can't take gluten-free pizza with you. I cart gluten-free food every where we go..& always have plenty to share with the gluten eaters. It is not uncommon for people to now ask for a gluten-free...

    I would doubt that towels are making you sick...I will step out on a limb here-------= I would never wash kitchen dish towels with bathroom washcloths.... For me that just seems gross washing dishtowels & dish cloths with other bathroom towels & cloths we wash our butts with! I wash my kitchen things separately with color safe bleach & very...

    One should be on gluten for at least three months for accurate testing... Some people notice & feel better in a few days without gluten so putting it on the spin-- the other side of the coin. No gluten for several days can alter the test. I'm a seasoned celiac so that is my thought. There are cookies & cakes , pretzels, candy that we take for...

    I hope you find the answer! Sometimes doctors don't get it when we feel off..... its like what do we know about our own body! Just keep on the doc until they get sick of you & questions & start doing all the testing.. I presented with both hyper & hypo thyroid symptoms which I understand is quite common...believe me I went kicking & screaming...

    Have you had your thyroid checked ? Not just the TSH but the FreeT-3 T-4 & so on. My thyroid went crazy a few years ago, I ended up having it ablated but it caused my heart to go into A-fib. Also liquor can cause some to sleep & others to get anxiety attacks causing no sleep patterns, irritable, & fatigue from no sleep. The red face could...

    You will not regret spending the money on a Zo! Worth every penney. The motor lasts & lasts, mine is going on eight years -no problems. Usually cheaper brands last for a few years then die so the choice is buy a good one & keep it for a long time or replace one every time the motor blows up.... I have a freind who has replaced her machine (not a...

    ARCHIVED Coping!

    mamaw replied to JennyRey's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Hello & Welcome I agree with others --- you don't have to give up on foods just because you are now gluten-free. You just have to give up wheat, rye, barley! You know the foods that are making you ill. There are wonderful subs for everything you love to eat..... Although not Italian we love Italian food! And we don't miss the wheat stuff that made...

    Hello Be thankful you found a doctor who will try to understand & listen! I don't think there are many around.....I was going to suggest having your thyroid checked. But again most docs only care about the TSH. I disagree with only looking at the TSH Also checking for Lyme Disease both blood tests might be something else to check out.I would find...

    We use wild caught alaskan salmon with no problems. But I get ill when I eat farm raised salmon. antibiotics & growth hormones plus usually raise in murky , dirty water ( we call it swamp water)makes all of us ill...... I'm not sure how or where Star_Kist gets their from.... I would hope its okay..... Alaskan salmon fresh or canned type is the best...

    None of this is easy or simple but it will begin to become easier once you start to change the way you were used to living. I say Kudos to you for standing up to your mother. She will come around.... Again I think for your family & friends the major word is : EDUCATE...........it is hard for people who have no idea of the damage eating gluten can cause...

    Hello You can have a pity party for yourself for a short time then its time to move on & focus on your well-being. The gluten-free lifestyle does take alot of pre-planning. You need to be responsible for your gluten-free diet. You need to talk & discuss with your spouse your feelings & feeling left out at times. Years down the road this issue...

    Hello Yes she still could be having issues with being exposed to gluten. I would try to keep her away from gluten in any form. If may be you find out that she is one of the super sensitive celiac people. everyone reacts different & the lasting effects vary greatly as well..... blessings mamaw

    Flax seed & Lame Advertisement seed is a good choice of fiber, Miralax is gluten-free & is recommended by doctors....

    Hello It is natural to go through a grieving process.... There are many places that have gluten-free offerings these days...... & many Italian places will allow you to take your own pasta & they will cook it at no extra charge. BiAglut is an imported pasta from Italy that is hard to tell its not wheat pasta.There are also several other brands...

    I'll try this again & hope it doesn't get posted twice! My cat loves to type on here while I'm typing & I'm not sure if the first message actually got posted! Strange kitty here... You already were given a few good choices. Here are a few more. Everybody Eats: wonderful to die for baguettes & ficeille rolls The Grainless Baker: rye bread...

    You are very welcome. I hope she gets to feeling better soon... sorry there are no quick fixes with celiac. blessings mamaw
  24. mamaw
    Hello & Welcome- Here is my two cents! She is very new to the gluten-free lifestlye & not all experience relief the first weeks, months or even several years. So it will take much time for many. She could be noticing & reacting to foods that she never thought were a problem ! Once our bodies start to feel change it sometimes shares other...

    I love Glutino gluten-free pretzels! If potato chips are what you are looking for Utz , Boulder Canyon, Michael Season's chips appear to be safe but be sure to read the labels for each flavor....hth mamaw
