    That sounds so yummy... I would probably eliminate the corn starch, also because I try to stay away from corn.

    Me too! Fermented beets would be great (I love the pickled variety). Also - coconut kefir? I was under the impression that kefir was somewhat difficult to make... please share!

    Another good dairy free alternative is So Delicious Coconut Milk ice cream - it is really good, too! I like the green tea flavor (different, but very tasty) and the mint chocolate chip.

    I definitely get the stuffy nose - not the itchy lady bits, though -- I was unaware that casein could cause that! Please let us know how the fermented cabbage goes - I would really like to try that, myself, since I can't have yogurt anymore.

    Isn't it shocking how people don't know what is in their food? And WOW -- that is a horrible attitude for a teacher to have! Food allergies and intolerance are serious problems. Definitely not something you can "just have a bite of".

    Oddly, I have a lot of similar symptoms. Bloating and constipation were a huge problem for me - so bad that I have ended up in the ER multiple times for this. Luckily, I have gotten away from laxatives. Corn and rice are a big problem for me, also, especially in regards to bloat. And water truly does help a ton when I'm feeling crappy.

    Haha that is a really good way to put it... she is kind of a, um... odd duck. It just gets so grating, you know? Thank you for the advice, though, I will try that next time she tries to pawn chocolate cake off on me.

    I was diagnosed with celiac almost two years ago. I find that when I explain it to people, most of them at least understand it a little bit (as in, they understand I absolutely cannot eat gluten but maybe they don't understand why). That being said, I have working in my current office for a little over a year (but I have worked at this company for almost...

    Cecilia's Marketplace has a grocery guide that was extremely helpful to me when I was first learning how to read labels - they have updates every so often on their website if a product changes (ie, no longer gluten-free). This can be hard though because products change all the time! Breakfast was hard for me, too, at first. I pretty much just eat a bowl...

    Yoplait, Stoneyfield Greek yogurt, and Lifeway kefir are all good... I don't purchase Dannon because they have been so evasive about their ingredients.
  11. summerteeth
    I'm with you there! I love having the option, though, especially around the holidays!

    Same here - I didn't have withdrawal symptoms with gluten. Milk products were another story - I CRAVED cheese. My fiance, on the other had, cannot go a day without gluten without feeling crappy. Luckily it doesn't bother him - he has a problem with some fruits and vegetables, and also nuts. He has to have his multigrain sandwich thins. He is also...

    An update: I went to the Waterloo/Cedar Falls walk yesterday and it was GREAT. My fiance and I drove three hours from Rockford, IL. and it was worth it! The ladies who ran the group were extremely friendly and made us feel at home. We also left with a backseat full of free samples (many items which we cannot purchase in Rockford - including Go Picnic...

    I actually live in Rockford, but I went to college in Lincoln Park and my sister still lives in Ravenswood. I like Jewel's selection of gluten-free products. And like Trader Joe's too (I go to the one in Naperville). Also Marcello's has AMAZING gluten-free pizza.

    I have my dining card from Cecilia's Marketplace. I usually ask the waiter or waitress to show it to the chef and/or cook. It has helped IMMENSELY - especially since I was kind of shy about mentioning it when going out to eat. I bought two - my fiance carries one in his wallet and I carry one in my purse.

    Adding to the already great ideas -- * make your meals a head of time and wrap them in foil - that way you can just heat them when you are ready. I did this last summer with fried potatoes, peppers, onions, and cut up kielbasa. My gluten eating friends even wanted some! * Kinnickinick makes gluten-free "graham crackers" called Smore-a-bles - gotta...

    I am planning on attending the ninth annual walk in Waterloo on June 5 -- anyone else going? Open Original Shared Link

    I don't know if you have an Aldi around you, but they are GREAT. My fiance is not gluten or casein free, so we buy his cereal, yogurt, cottage cheese, block cheese, hot dog buns etc. there. They also have TONS of canned goods - beans, fruit, and veggies. I stock up on their beans especially for chili. And they do respond to emails regarding product...

    Agree on the Neti Pot - it really helps me during allergy season. That being said, I used to get sinus infections all year long - and they would get very painful. I haven't had one in about a year and a half (I was diagnosed about a year and seven months ago). You may be on to something...

    My fiance has free reign of one (large) cupboard - he barely uses it. He likes sandwiches, but other than that, he doesn't really eat much gluten. I have no problems with him having sandwiches or gluten containing items, but he knows by now that he has to wash his face & brush his teeth before getting close to me. He also knows that he cannot use my...

    Rice makes me bloated - big time. My mom and sister are the same way. I avoid it big time.
  22. summerteeth
    Yesterday around lunchtime I started having the worst celiac symptoms - worse than accidentally ingesting gluten (I have been gluten-free for almost 2 years). So I go back to my food log (I keep one for caloric purposes - and for just in case I start feeling sick). There is nothing on my list that puts up any red flags. I have read that severe stress...

    ARCHIVED Marcello's

    summerteeth posted a topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    For those of you in or around Chicago, I found out this weekend that Marcello's has a gluten free menu! I ordered their pizza this last Saturday and it is absolutely delicious. They also offer a brownie pizza, various types of gluten-free pasta, and a few different salads. Also, Redbridge beer. The server was extremely knowledgeable and told me he was...

    THANK YOU for that information! There is a Woodman's here and I try to make it out there once a month - they really do have the better prices on gluten-free foods.
  25. summerteeth
    Also Buddig says gluten free on the backs of their packages - great rolled up with cream cheese!
