    Thanks for the recommendation! I was looking for snacks for a wedding reception that I was going to, and I remembered that, so I picked up a container of Planter's mixed nuts.

    Does anybody have any info about them? We are going on an overnight trip this weekend and my husband asked me if they had any gluten-free options. I did a quick google search and it appears that they have options, but what is their cross contamination protocol? Anybody have any experiences with them, good or bad?

    I never expected to enjoy deglutening my house as much as I have! Being a kitchen and cooking junkie, but also being somewhat of a tightwad in some areas, it was wonderful to have a medical excuse to buy new kitchen stuff. So far (between birthday gifts and personal purchases) I've gotten a: 1) New cookie sheet 2) New pizza stone 3) New set...

    Go Cathy! You know, if people are being that ridiculous, they need a blunt response.

    Yay for being able to eat bread again! Do you buy Canyon Bakehouse locally or order online? My store just discontinued carrying it, so I might have to go the online route. My kids and I are having chickpea and quinoa stew, cooked kale, and apple slices for lunch. I need to find more exciting "naturally gluten-free" recipes to try on occasion. Our diet...

    I'm in a similar situation. I may eventually pay for the genetic OOP, just to satisfy some curiosity, but I know that I can never, in good conscience, do any type of gluten challenge, based on the results of my only challenge that I've tried to do. I've been gluten-free for over 4 years, I can only imagine what a disaster a gluten challenge would be at this...

    I'm sorry that you got bad medical advice. You do have to be eating a normal diet with gluten for 8-12 weeks in order to avoid false negatives on bloodwork. I look forward to the day when celiac testing doesn't require lengthy gluten exposure.
  8. BlessedMommy
    Ditto! We eats lots of fresh fruits and vegetables, roasted veggies and potatoes, cooked beans, rice, quinoa, tofu, eggs, etc.

    Ditto! Celiac is a life long disease that is controlled by a life long strict gluten free diet. If you go back to eating gluten, you can expect your health to deteriorate even if you aren't having violent symptoms every time, because the internal damage is still being done.

    I don't get that symptom if I'm accidentally cross contaminated, but with large amounts of gluten, yes. When I did my gluten challenge, someone commented that it looked like I got punched in the face.

    I treat my condition like celiac as well, although I wasn't able to get a DX it's obvious that I have severe gluten issues. I'm not sure if I will ever get a DX, because I will never willingly or purposely eat gluten again. My doctor agreed that gluten caused my TIA and that's good enough for me, I don't care to go on to have a full blown stroke, so I...

    Ugh! It's a gluten free diet, not a low gluten diet! I wonder where people get the idea that "a little bit won't hurt?"
  13. BlessedMommy
    LOL!!! I'm not sure why people get so bent out of shape over what other people eat. I mean, I'm vegetarian (which actually is not a medically necessary choice in most cases) for religious reasons, and people don't usually insult that. I'm not sure why people don't grasp the idea that what other people eat is up to them.

    It's like when I told someone that I was dairy free and she said, "But I thought that you still ate egg products." Um yes, because eggs don't come from cows and aren't considered dairy.

    Which cruise line are you using?
  16. BlessedMommy
    Oh my goodness, that's too funny! What in the world do people think that gluten is, anyway?
  17. BlessedMommy
    Thanks!
  18. BlessedMommy
    Yeah, many people don't have a clue, that's for sure! I actually found that a SALAD that I ate and thought was safe, had a seasoning that had soy sauce in it. Oy!

    I'd like to experiment with Indian cooking. Anybody have any vegetarian gluten-free Indian recipes?
  20. BlessedMommy
    I haven't even really looked much at Gardein products, until when googling, I found that they had come out with a gluten free line. I'm super interested in their veggie ground "beef" crumbles, but wondered about CC issues. They say on the package that it is processed in the same facility, so I sent them an email asking if they use separate machinery. ...

    This is totally an old thread, but I wanted to share a link for a wonderful gluten free veggie meat that I found. We tried their chicken free strips and they were excellent! Open Original Shared Link

    Okay, one thing that I'm trying to understand: The gluten free guide of do's and don'ts said DO avoid eating food prepared by family and friends, but DON'T avoid restaurants. Now, I understand that casually eating stuff that people claim is gluten free is not a good idea. However, if you've conversed with the person and given them explicit directions...

    Washing is always a good idea--if possible. When eating at a continental breakfast in a hotel, I rinse off the hardboiled eggs before eating.
  24. BlessedMommy
    Do you only eat products made in dedicated gluten-free facilities? If so, why? If not, why not?
  25. BlessedMommy
    That is a great idea!
