    I read a few additional articles on this topic because I am freaking out about the dramatic amount of rice we consume in our gluten-free diet. An article our pediatrician posted recommends rinsing rice before cooking and then cooking it with extra water and then draining off the extra water once it is cooked (cook it like you would make pasta, basically)...

    I posted the original comment about my Dad. I just wanted to update this in case anyone ever experiences vomiting, nausea and similar symptoms and comes across this post....if you do, get it checked out. My Dad was just diagnosed with small intestine cancer. Risk factor #1 for this cancer: Celiac Disease. I assume this means undiagnosed Celiac, but it would...

    My Dad, who has Celiac, has been having a very rough 5 weeks. Every 2-4 days or so, he has terrible vomiting spells. He had been having stomach pain/cramping (right below the belly button) for awhile before the vomiting incidents began. He was hospitalized for 5 days and they ran a bunch of tests. Doctors think it could be a partial blockage in the small...

    My son's preschool wants me to provide a list of mainstream snacks that are gluten free. Can anyone throw out a few items that they might be serving at a preschool for snacks that are gluten-free? I'm providing him some gluten-free crackers and other things but for some reason I am at a loss as to how to start this list besides putting down "some tortilla...

    Happy birthday and may God bless you today!

    My 2.5 year old has never had gluten. I have Celiac, as does my father. I worry about the non-typical symptoms of Celiac (including cognitive development issues) that don't obviously point to Celiac, so we have been overly cautious and have never given my son gluten. We did the genetic test and he received the Celiac genes from both me and my husband, which...

    What's the best brand of gluten-free cake mix you have found? I want to make a cake for my son's 2nd b.day. No chocolate or nuts please. Thanks!

    Just a random thought...maybe he's having more bowel movements because he's eating more. My (gluten-free) son is almost 2 and he has BMs sometimes 4 times a day and sometimes not too solid, though it's not loose. Doctor said that's normal. Maybe your son's system is just regulating itself to the increase in food while it is still recovering from damage. It...

    After researching and finding no official guidelines on this topic, I can tell you what I decided to do personally for my son. He's almost 2 now and hasn't had any gluten. We did a genetic test (thru enterolab) and my husband and I both passed on genes that make him more susceptible than the average person (or a person with only one predisposing gene) to...

    I'd like to hear stories of people who experienced persistent symptoms but were either misdiagnosed or their doctor insisted the problems were all in your head. Specifically, I would like to hear stories from individuals who took a very active role in getting their own diagnosis of Celiac (or any other disease, really). I have Celiac disease but my story...

    I want to make a pie, which I haven't done since going gluten free. What are the best pre-made pie crusts you've found and where can I buy one? Or, does anyone have an easy recipe for a good pie crust? Thanks!!

    I'm looking for good dessert recipes that are gluten-free, milk-free and egg-free (or recipes with butter and eggs where I could use dairy-free margarine and egg replacer instead). We have two celiacs, an egg allergy and dairy allergy in my family and I'm trying to make something that everyone can eat. Thanks!

    I'm due to give birth any day (hopefully soon, as I'm 8 days overdue!). Can anyone tell me what I should look out for in terms of any drugs or anything they might give me in the hospital during labor and delivery that might not be gluten free? I will tell all the nurses when I arrive that I have celiac and it's in my chart, but I wonder if anyone has any...

    ARCHIVED Pf Changs

    Anya78 replied to Moongirl's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    I've had a couple of bad experiences and several good experiences at PF Changs with the menu items that require the gluten-free sauce instead of regular sauce, so I've decided to stick with items that are gluten-free pretty much as prepared. If you compare the gluten-free menu and the regular menu you can see which items are naturally gluten free. I usually...

    I agree with previous posters. I'm due any day now. My OBs know of Celiac, but they are by no means experts and I bet it would be really, really difficult to find an OB that has more than just general knowledge of it. As long as you are well educated as to what you can and can't eat and you remain on the strict gluten free diet, you'll have no problem. I...

    I can only answer the question about the glucose test....the orange drink I had was gluten free. Not sure if there are other brands of it that would be different. Good luck with your pregnancy! I'm in the last week or two (hopefully not longer!) of mine. Anya

    I was very interested to find this thread when I searched for TCBY on here. I'm currently having what I believe to be a gluten reaction.....my first in more than 8 months since I became pregnant (I've been very careful). I love TCBY and I "knew" that I'd read it was gluten-free. I've been craving it and so I went yesterday and bought a quart to keep in the...

    My sister is making something with amaretto liquor in it to serve at my baby shower this Saturday and she just asked me if it's gluten-free. Anyone know?? thanks!

    Is the stool softener Colace softgels gluten-free? Thanks
  20. Anya78
    I called and it is gluten-free, just in case anyone else was wondering.

    Has anyone called to see if Cumberland Gap diced ham is gluten-free? If not, I'll have to call myself tomorrow (just can't do it while I'm at work). Thanks!

    Funny you should mention almonds because I'm been obsessed with them lately! I eat sliced almonds on my gluten-free cereal in the morning (Maple Buckwheat Flakes...I highly recommend adding almonds, reminds me of a non-gluten-free cereal I used to eat before the celiac diagnosis), plus I eat them all the time for a snack or put sliced almonds or walnuts in...

    The smoothies are a good idea. I think I might try making one in the morning and taking it with me to work. I usually feel queasy when I first get up so I am usually forcing down what little I do eat and by the time I get to work I'm so starving and THAT makes me queasy again! A smoothie might be a good idea, especially since I have tons of frozen blueberries...

    I love Enjoy Life Foods' Ryeless Rye Bread. I think it is the most "real" tasting of all the gluten-free breads I've tried (and there have been quite a few other loaves that I tried that ended up in the garbage!) I ordered it online but they may carry it at a store near you. Their website lists the locations the products are available. The cookies are good...

    I'm 8 weeks pregnant and I'm starving all the time (not to mention that if I go too long without eating something I start feeling queasy). I pack my lunch every day for work, but lately I'm having a hard time coming up with a variety of good ideas of food to bring, particularly because things like bean soup that I used to bring are now giving me stomach trouble...
