    Wow, so he never actually even ran the bloodwork!! I would say, get that bloodwork drawn as soon as you can. Good luck!

    Get a diagnosis, if you can. If you can't, don't worry about it. It's perfectly possible to follow a strict gluten free diet without a diagnosis. Just take your own food everywhere and never cheat on the diet. People will eventually believe you. I'm going on 5 years of being gluten free without a diagnosis. Most friends and family understand why I won...

    One of my big issues with gluten free food is that most of them have some form of processed rice in them. I've started consciously avoiding most commercial gluten free products with rice (based on Consumer Reports recommendations on limits for weekly rice consumption) and so I end up just passing by most gluten free foods! I eat a lot of naturally gluten...

    Is there a good substitute for oyster sauce? Or should I just leave it out?
  5. BlessedMommy
    Do you have any recipes Laura? Though, I like San-J sauces, I would prefer something less sweet.

    What annoyed me is that subscribe and save wasn't available for this item. It's a prime item, but with no subscribe option. I could've gotten another 15% off, if they let me subscribe.

    Never mind, I found a retail price, it looks like they're $3.49 per box, so just over $2 per box would be a great deal.

    Does anybody know off hand what Ancient Harvest organic corn/quinoa pasta costs in the store? I haven't bought any in awhile, so I'm rusty on the exact price, but I like it and want to get some more. Amazon has it for $25 for 12 boxes and I'm trying to figure out if that's a substantially better deal than the store.

    You should always bring your own food, unless you have a trained celiac chef cooking for you. Good point on the life insurance, I guess that there are some benefits to staying undiagnosed. My rate is pretty good. I did tell the guy that I had a TIA, but that it was food related and that the doctor had advised me to avoid gluten to prevent future problems...

    Any other San-J fans here? I love their sauces! I find that I'm buying them on a weekly basis. We eat a lot of stir fry and it's great to have something that's certified G.F. and tasty to spice it up with. A regular one that we get is their spicy peanut sauce. The Mongolian beef sauce is pretty good, though a little sweet. I like their orange sauce, but it...

    Great information!

    Are you peanut free or just tree nut free? I have an easy yummy recipe for a peanut butter pie.

    Do one sandwich per day. Don't torture yourself with overdoing it. I overdid the gluten during my challenge and due to that, I had to quit 10 days into it, because I had a very severe reaction and ended up in the ER. I went gluten free at that point and figured that my $3,000.00 hospital bill was a good enough reason to live like a celiac and be gluten...

    Maybe it would be best to forgo restaurants for awhile while trying to figure things out.

    I'm confused, Beth, are you saying that if a number is higher than 100, they don't give a specific number? Because on a blog, I saw a post about a mom whose kid had a Ttg of 3,500 at diagnosis.

    I find graham cracker crusts to be a hassle and haven't perfected them yet. Mine turn out thick and hard. I think that Mi-Del works out cheaper than making them too. ($4-5 for gluten free graham crackers plus extra for butter and sugar, and the premade crusts are less than $5 each) Especially today, since I found them marked down to 50% off at the health...

    Enjoy Life chocolate chips are dairy and soy free.

    Were you blood tested? If not, you will probably want to run the full panel of celiac bloodwork before going any further. If that is all negative, then you have nothing to lose by trying the gluten free diet to see if you feel better. If your symptoms clear up on the gluten free diet, then that's your answer. Many here (including myself) don't have a...

    That is one amazing side effect of being gluten free--I eat much better in general. Less sugar and processed food, more veggies. Most of the processed stuff isn't an option for me, since it has gluten. My theory is that that's why gluten free diets supposedly produce weight loss--it's not the actual lack of gluten, it's all the fattening and processed food...

    I totally pull the paper plate from the middle too!

    I just realized that a supplement I purchased this fall and have been taking sporadically, has oat fiber in it. Perhaps that explains the low level symptoms lately..... How did that one slip by me? I even screened my antibiotics before taking them recently. Remember, read every label every time!

    Sorghum flour is a good rice flour alternative. Quinoa flour also works well as a substitution.

    Are you looking for a vegetarian pot pie specifically? I'm vegetarian and I make pot pie.
