ARCHIVED Stop Eating Bread
BlessedMommy replied to wullie1974's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I make waffles a lot. It's really easy! I make whole grain oat ones usually. Because we like waffles so much, we invested in this heavy duty waffle iron. It was well worth the investment and does things much faster. It cooks in about half the time as a cheap waffle iron and you can make two at a time as well. Open Original Shared Link -
ARCHIVED Are You Happy?
BlessedMommy replied to GF Lover's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
We have a very happy life. We have our strong faith in God and we have a number of dear friends who we love and enjoy spending time with and we have a close knit church family who is there for us as well. Also, I have my health. Though it's a difficult diet to follow, I'm so thankful that I found out relatively early in life that I couldn't tolerate gluten... -
Is it an option to have your own chickens? If you did that, then you could have total control over what they ate. Like others said, it doesn't hurt to try them and see how you respond to them.

Yes, duck eggs might be worth trying. -
ARCHIVED What Foods Besides Gluten Foods Set You Off?
BlessedMommy replied to 3bears2's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
Dairy and excess sugar bother me. I feel much better on a dairy free, low sugar diet. -
ARCHIVED Ebay Scams
BlessedMommy replied to BlessedMommy's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
So, anyhow, Ebay ruled that the buyer had until the 30th of July to provide us with tracking information documenting the return of the Iphone. Well, long story short, he provided us with tracking information alright and the item that we received from him was a #10 envelope with less than 4 lines of typed text, definitely no Iphone enclosed! So we sent... -

ARCHIVED Any Other Sober Celiacs?
BlessedMommy replied to brooklyngal's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I don't drink and never have--my religion forbids it. There's lots of stuff to do for fun! Today we went canoeing and tomorrow we're taking the kids to the water park. -
ARCHIVED Genetic Testing Results
BlessedMommy replied to hayley3's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I'm sorry. It sounds like your food options are so limited. Did a doctor recommend for you to do the FODMAPS diet? -
ARCHIVED Genetic Testing Results
BlessedMommy replied to hayley3's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I'm no expert, but it looks like you have the HLA-DQ2 gene, which is associated with celiac disease. Have you considered doing an endoscopic biopsy as well? Some celiacs test negative on bloodwork and positive on biopsy. If you've exhausted all testing options with no answers, at that point, you can always try the gluten free diet and see if it helps... -
ARCHIVED Don't Know If I Should Leave My Job Or Not!
BlessedMommy replied to bakergirl90's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Do you live in a city large enough to have a gluten free bakery? Maybe you could work at one of those. Another option is to try wearing a mask while at work. -
ARCHIVED Cooking With Kaniwa
BlessedMommy replied to BlessedMommy's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
No, this is not quinoa. It is an entirely separate pseudo grain. -
ARCHIVED Cooking With Kaniwa
BlessedMommy replied to BlessedMommy's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I mixed up cold cooked kaniwa with lime juice, olive, sea salt, chopped cucumber, corn, tomato pieces, and olives. It makes a tasty and healthy little salad. -
ARCHIVED Gluten Free, Going Broke
BlessedMommy replied to janiney08's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
You can just use a normal recipe and use the certified gluten free oats in place of regular. I don't make it as often as I would like so I'm not sure where my recipe that I used is at the moment. I definitely want to make it more though because the other day I bought KIND granola and OUCH! Like any other granola, that stuff is very expensive. -

Very, very hot! I don't care for it, but my husband likes it. -
ARCHIVED Gluten Free Chinese Food
BlessedMommy replied to Nick-incollege's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
Right now, we have their spicy peanut sauce, mongolian beef sauce, and szechuan sauce in the house. I really like their orange sauce too, but I can't seem to find it in as many grocery stores. I like to keep a few sauces on hand and cook the stir fry mostly plain and then my kids and husband season as desired from available sauces. Stir fry is such a... -
ARCHIVED Gluten Free Chinese Food
BlessedMommy replied to Nick-incollege's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
Great! I'm glad that you have access to San-J. I love their stir fry sauces, it's nice to have something that is for sure gluten free for my stir fry, since many sauces have gluten. -
ARCHIVED Gluten Free Chinese Food
BlessedMommy replied to Nick-incollege's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
It appears that duck sauce is likely to be safe, but of course, all ingredients should be read every time. Is the restaurant good about providing ingredient lists to people who need them? If you're unsure, you could bring along a bottle of your own duck sauce. -

ARCHIVED Gluten Free Chinese Food
BlessedMommy replied to Nick-incollege's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
My suggestion is to go as simple as possible. I once went to a Chinese place without a gluten free menu and I simply ordered tofu, veggies, egg, and rice noodles--all plain without any seasoning whatsoever. I checked ingredients of the noodles and tofu with the server just to be sure. I brought my own San-J gluten free soy sauce packets from home and I... -
ARCHIVED Gluten Free Chinese Food
BlessedMommy replied to Nick-incollege's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
Woks would not be safe for using between gluten free and regular items anyway. Woks get "seasoned" with regular use, so it seems that they would have the same CC issues as cast iron pans. Not Chinese, but I once went to a Thai restaurant and explained that I needed gluten free and asked what they had. They said, "Oh you're gluten free? The curry dish... -
ARCHIVED Do I Have To Reseason My Cast Iron Skillet Again?
BlessedMommy replied to BlessedMommy's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I wanted to be extra safe, so I ran the pan through the self clean cycle of the oven and then reseasoned it. I probably didn't need to, but peace of mind is worth something, I suppose. -

ARCHIVED Should Enriched gluten-free Flour Be The Next Battle?
BlessedMommy replied to plumbago's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Depending on the bread, some are pretty nutritious. My teff bread recipe that I use is very nutritious and I think that the nutritional profile of my homemade millet sandwich bread is probably decent as well. -
ARCHIVED Gluten Free, Going Broke
BlessedMommy replied to janiney08's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Instead of doing frozen gluten-free waffles, I make my own whole grain waffles out of certified G.F. oats and whatever else I have on hand. For stuff that isn't very practical to make, I just look for the best deal. For pasta, I do Meijer brand non-gmo corn pasta. It's $1.99 per pound.
