  1. She is a good writer, too -- it is easy to identify with her feelings -- definitely a "comfort" read. I've been meaning to try her recipes but haven't yet had the chance. Thanks for the reminder about her book!
  2. Thanks; I understand. Does anyone else out there have a reference to validate this?
  3. I agree about The First Year book -- didn't care for it. I haven't read the Dummies book yet (I once tech edited a Dummies book and am a big fan) -- I have it on order through the library. I really liked Healthier Without Wheat by Dr. Stephen Wangen -- it is also good for people who are non-celiac-gluten-intolerant -- it gives a great explanation about...
  4. I've heard the same thing from others -- not the same unless you do it the looooooong, Julia way -- braised onions, the works. It is really worth it.
  5. I just wanted to post that my husband and I made Julia Child's Beef Bourguignon -- we used Better Batter gluten-free flour (which they say you can use anywhere you'd use regular flour) and it was awesome! I imagine any gluten-free flour might be okay. I've always wanted to try this recipe, and I'm sooooo glad I finally did. Wow - it is incredibly wonderful...
  6. I have another thread going here about the stickers on fruit: safe or not? In the thread, the discussion led to envelope glue, and one of the posters mentioned that envelope glue containing gluten is a myth (thank you to the poster!) The poster added that envelope information in a recently published book is questionable. (gluten-free Diet) It make...
  7. Thank you, Richard! Might you help: I am working on a project: What is your source for the labels being gluten free? MUCH appreciated.
  8. I am SO grateful to learn that envelopes are not made with glue from wheat. Still though, I am not convinced that envelopes are safe for those who are especially sensitive to small traces of gluten. I for one cannot use corn starch unless it is labeled gluten free, and even then I have problems with some brands. Unless the envelope company is using...
  9. Am having tea this morning -- don't want to risk a "test" with our home coffee. Hoping some folks will reply here. Thanks!
  10. Also, what meds are you taking? I have talked to at least two people who take meds for ADD who have problems with eye twitching when they take it. I would imagine other meds might aggravate it too -- don't know for sure. Just a guess.
  11. Thank you for posting this. When I get really sick from being glutened, the ringing in my ears increases. I have had ringing as far back as I can remember. Since going gluten-free, it gets much worse when I have been glutened. For most of my life I've been able to ignore the ringing. However, now when I get a reaction, it gets so loud, it drives...
  12. Here is a concern I have: Some with Celiac are not very symptomatic -- some who have tested positive have no symptoms at all. So, is it possible that they can eat foods that are produced on shared lines and never feel it, yet they are being glutened to the point where it might cause damage? I am one of the "lucky" ones. I am non-Celiac gluten...
  13. Bea, The DVD I mentioned is made specifically for people who can't do a lot of moves. It goes slowly and is also good for people who have thrown their back out, etc. I've used it when I've thrown my back out and it feels so good. If I can't get down on the floor then I do it in the bedroom while still in bed. There are two routines, each only...
  14. Has anyone here ever had a reaction to COSTCO whole bean coffee, regular arabica (not decaf), roasted by Starbucks - especially recently? I am able to drink other brands without an issue, and in the past have used this brand (probably without issue but not sure - I'm still trying to get on the other side of occasional gluten episodes). Note: It could...
  15. I had it with increasing frequency until going gluten-free. I hardly happens at all any more.
  16. I have a DVD that I swear by: Back in Shape by Mimi Solaire.
  17. You are right. From what I have been told, anyone with gluten-intolerance should absolutely not use it to side-step gluten.
  18. Good to know -- thank you.
  19. Have you talked to your doctor about what you are going through?
  20. Wow -- here, too. My oldest daughter bought me a set of green-handle spoons with the idea being "G reen=G luten-Free. I found a dedicated counter container for the spoons, and it has definitely helped. Even with that, I still have to nag, nag, nag, as you say. They mean well, and they try . . . but old habits die hard. I know, because they...
  21. I enjoyed this post and was able to relate to it on many levels. Thank you.
  22. Please forgive me if this has been posted earlier in this thread. I saw your post and my gut told me to jump right to my thoughts: Where do you live? Is there a GIG (Gluten Intolerance Group) support group in her area? Open Original Shared Link I am a member, and the understanding and support I've been given has been a greater blessing than I...
  23. Bravo. Great post, as are all the posts here. This is a wonderful topic.
  24. I hope your words will reach those who have yet to realize what is wrong with them. Great post. I get you about the 7 PM thing. My family keeps joking that if I watch something on TV, I'll have to TIVO it and watch it a at least ten times . . . because I fall asleep after five minutes!
  25. That is a good question, and I am looking forward to seeing what others here have to day. I would guess that the answer is no. I agree that only food stored in the containers would get cc'd. For us (duel kitchen -- hubby and daughter use gluten), the biggest problem is things not coming completely clean. Today, I found a stainless steel pot that...
