    Once you've decided that you like an item and want it on a regular basis, Amazon has a subscribe and save program. I buy a case of coconut milk every month. They automatically deliver it and charge my credit card for it. The price is much better than the store. You can cancel or change your subscription whenever needed. I'm also going to subscribe to...

    I'm an ovo vegetarian, not vegan since I eat eggs regularly and some honey on occasion. I find that there's a lot of food to eat as a gluten free vegetarian. For a treat, I like the Beyond Meat chicken free strips. They are great on the grill! Open Original Shared Link

    I ended up using the teff millet tortillas for our wraps. They are super yummy! Open Original Shared Link

    Does vitiligo count as an AI issue as far as celiac testing goes? I'm seeking testing for my oldest daughter and she has vitiligo.

    I think that I would just bring my wafer to church and consider the prayer of blessing to include it. I'm pretty sure that I would have CC issues if I put it anywhere near the regular ones.

    I ended up buying my kitty Rachel Ray Nutrifish catfood since it's cheaper than the really fancy brands of cat food. It has grains in it, but no gluten ones and clearly says on the front of the bag that it has no wheat. Yay! Open Original Shared Link

    We had a super fun day grilling today! What really shocked and surprised me though, is that apparently my inlaws decided that the gluten-free people needed a new grill. When we showed up for the cook out, they had actually purchased, taken out of the box, and assembled a 2nd smaller grill that is only for gluten-free items. Pretty shocking as I certainly...

    My favorite kitchen appliance, hands down, is my Vitamix blender. After I got that, I rarely found much need for a food processor.

    I think that it all depends on the circumstances. One possible drawback with a biopsy is that sometimes you can get positive bloodwork and a negative biopsy even with someone who is really celiac. (the biopsy can miss the damage) Then sometimes the doctor will send the patient on their gluten eating way based on the negative biopsy.

    Irish, my oldest daughter had brown spots on the back of her front teeth from an early age. I wonder if that piece of info would be enough to convince the doctor to test her for celiac.

    Sounds like a great day Lisa! I need to get started on my watermelon cake soon. I'll have to post a picture when I'm done.

    Thanks, good to know since we go to NC sometimes to visit family!

    I agree that it's wise to get a physical check up to rule out other health issues. I'm sorry that you're feeling so bad!

    Back from a day where I brought my own food to two different potlucks. We went to a lasagna lunch at our neighbors house and I brought my own penne pasta, salad, and treats. Supper was a potluck at the church and I didn't feel like any more heavy food in the heat so we had Canyon Bakehouse raisin bread with peanut butter, honey, and sour cherry jam,...

    Right, the main people that need to understand are close family members and friends whom we interact with on a regular or semi-regular basis. Even with them, it's hard for me to discuss it sometimes. I absolutely agree that my medical history is none of the waiter/waitress's business. I usually say that I have a severe gluten intolerance or a wheat allergy...

    My approach to communion for the last few years has been simply to skip the bread and drink the grape juice. I'm considering finding an option for bread though. If you go to a church that practices communion, what do you do? Homemade, commercial, or go without? Any recommendations on recipes or products?

    I went gluten free over 4 years ago. In that amount of time, I've only had a handful of noticeable glutenings and most of them were skin related (skin flaming or start of itchy rash) Though I've tried to be quite careful with my diet, I didn't have much guidance and so I made some gluten free mistakes. (not crouton picking or contaminated condiments, but...

    Whew, back from my Amish store shopping spree and exhausted! We hit 4 different Amish stores throughout southern Michigan and northern Indiana. Some of my great finds were Schar bread for 49 cents a bag (got 8 bags of it for 49 cents and the 9th bag free from their free box) and Lundberg rice for $1 per bag. (I got 6 bags of it, yay! That stuff usually costs...

    A good cheese substitute is Daiya cheese. It is gluten free, dairy free, and soy free and melts great.

    Can you share your pineapple upside down cake recipe Lisa? Which cream of mushroom soup do you use? Pacific Foods? Or a different one?
  22. BlessedMommy
    Yeah, it was a pretty freaky experience. After that, we decided, no more gluten. It really didn't matter what any tests said anyway, I wasn't going to start eating it again. I won't do a gluten challenge to satisfy anybody's diagnostic requirements. No way, no how. It sounds like in the future, celiac testing could be done without eating it at all...

    I've survived without even having positive blood tests. (Not for lack of trying, though, the gluten challenge that I tried to do to get the blood tests landed me in the hospital!) I would agree that there is really no point in going back on gluten to get a biopsy. You've already been diagnosed.

    I'm sorry that you're feeling so sick! Can you tolerate chia seed? That is a great source of Omega 3's.

    ^Being celiac and vegetarian is totally doable. I'm vegetarian and still find that I have a ton of gluten free food options.
