ARCHIVED Gluten Free Flours
mamaw replied to jkr's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Yes & no!!!! Many times you can sub out flours but you need to know that some gluten-free flours are heavier & have a strong taste so you wouldn't want to try to bake a cake but it would be okay for a hearty bread recipe. hth mamaw -

ARCHIVED Another Newbie
mamaw replied to soulcurrent's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
It is not quite so easy . You must determine the difference between the reg wheat type bread & what the gluten-free bread cost. It is the difference in cost. You have to do this for every gluten-free item you want to use the Medical Spending account. Personally I don't have the time to do that plus you must save & send in every recipe.... very time... -
ARCHIVED How Careful Do I Need To Be?
mamaw replied to SecondTwin's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Hello & Welcome You need to be 100% with the gluten-free lifestyle. I would not eat anything that stated may contain traces of wheat or gluten. The made in a factory that also process' wheat products. Many of the lines are dedicated lines or cleaned after every use.Others may not be. This statement is put on packaging so they can't be sued, legal issue... -

Thanks for the info about TJ. He truly is the very best....I will miss him at Boma as that is our favorite stop. But I'm sure we will go to OHana's just for Chef TJ..... Steelerfan, Welcome to the forum. Are you from the "Burgh" or just a steeler fan? mamaw -
You are not alone in your thinking process. You are going through physcial,& mental issues that many of us have gone through. It does get better but there is no set time-frame for all. Keep your focus or eye on the ball because much better health is on the horizon... Try not to take in to much info all at once, in fact it is almost impossible to learn...

ARCHIVED Great Gluten-free Info From Disney World
mamaw replied to Lynayah's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
We love Disney but I do have a question. Chef TJ is not at the Boma any more? You mentioned him at another place! We love Chef TJ. We actually bought Zebra Domes back home with us. Many places gave us extras of the desserts...... French Meadow was the rolls when we were there but they do change every so often. I believe you needed to ask to look over... -

ARCHIVED Quick Question...
mamaw replied to Aeman56's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Kix! Many are eating these without seeing any side effects but who can see the intestines! I think there are still old boxes on the store shelves as well as new ones. As you stated they are not on the gluten-free list from the mfg as yet. If your son is very sensitive I myself would not give them to him but if he's not so sensitive the I probably would... -
IBS is one of the things doctors dx before a celiac dx for many of us. Now since being gluten-free for a long time I'm having BIG C issues ! I still get bloated & miralax is my new BBF...even that at times don't do the trick.... I just strictly follow the gluten free diet & take lots of fiber.... I have no solution I just manage this way...No big...

Stainless steel, ceramic cookware is good choices. Glass is okay as well...I agree bleaching & disinfecting is a good thing . One thing none of us need is a flu bug. I run around all the time with clorox & lysol wipes! Nothing wrong with a clean house! I think we all want to have instant relief but it doesn't always happen that way... You are doing...

ARCHIVED Natural/herbal Defense For Flu?
mamaw replied to Camile's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
We take elderberry syrup during the winter months every year. We also take D-3, B-12 No flu shots for us....We drink the Emerg-C as well...... Holy Basil is supposed to help when the first signs of the flu appear. hth mamaw -
Here's my take! Still in very early stage of recovery. Remember celiac doesn't happen overnight & it can take a long while to totally recover.For some it takes a year or more to get those numbers down.... everyone is different. Same with sensitivity,some very & others not so much. Plus its great that you bleached everything but gluten is not a germ...
