    I can relate to the shared kitchen! I have very little trust in many things. I disinfect the counter before I do any food preps. I found that the milk jug....is used without a glass when I'm not around! The margarine container can NOT be shared either. I have never had a problem with sharing gluten-free pasta with the others since no one can tell the...

    Welcome! I know it all gets overwhelming, and we've all gone thru the learning stages with trials and errors too. My first 3 weeks were a 'detox' of gluten and that was tough. I was going to the bathroom 3-4-5-6 times a day...felt drained and dilerious from the withdrawls and then I got reglutened and felt like I had a flu. (it was ham) I just recently...

    Welcome to the support forum. You are surely a false positive about this....it's not easy but when it comes to getting rid of pain and itching and irritable feelings (not to mention your health issues)......but you've got your answer......it's just putting all the pieces together to make it all fit. I had my first hamburger this week with a gluten-free...

    I know it sounds hard to do - but treat it like THEY aren't controlling your health and stick with it.....there are ALWAYS ultimatums and compromises to be made. Do the girl's nite....Let them eat the not good stuff and you eat some good stuff you've brought for you....I'll bet they wouldn't know the difference between a gluten free cake made well....and...

    I've used 3 cans of it now and have not had any reactions. I've actually cooked liver in it and made a shephards pie too. I've had to add a bit of Bob's flour to thicken it as liquids from any other source thin it out. I truly have not had any reactions from the sales in Michigan.

    ARCHIVED Green Tea

    tmbarke replied to YoloGx's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Hi Bea, I found this article - it's pretty interesting and gives the medical perspective of Green Tea for you. Open Original Shared Link Hope you can get what you need out of it...I thought the first page was intriguing since I drink it too. Tena

    I feel for all of us that come across the risk of eating out....Ciavyn, I'm curious about your comment of a lawsuit.....if you have the info about those rights, please share. I've been extremely pissed off before due to ignorance at restaurants...Just wanting some ammunition if needed, not for power, but for ignorance. My last experience was taking my...

    I started feeling better after a few days - then like ditzy dumbo thru withdrawls...which you're gonna want to have someone help with the kids during this as you could possibly do something dangerous like turn the stove on and pour pancake batter right on the burner....I know it sounds far fetched but have someone nearby you can call to make sure your children...

    I like orville redenbachers popcorn for snacking - I had the butter oil last nite and was fine with it - I'm not fine with tostitos. I also like veggies and homemade dips.......satisfies my crunch when I add the veggies I like - cukes - celery - and sugar snap peas. You can also do a 'polish firecracker' that's a green onion wrapped in ham with cream cheese...

    You can still have tacos - I'm just not sure yet of taco bell. Think Corn tortillas for an omelette rollup.......or whatever I was a whole grain junkie - couldn't get enough of it! Doc told me that's a sign - once you start eating what your body knows is bad - your mind tells you not to stop....PIZZA - PANINI's! Retraining is right.......I learned to...

    Burger King! Whopper Subway! BMT! Pizza Hut! garlic/herb/cheese Breadsticks Buttery Nipple! Deep Fried Perch! Oh you're killing me!!!! I want one of these tests!

    There are a lot of current and updated information on the Shopping and meds forum - I check it everytime I need cold medicine or the update on tostitos (for instance) That is a good source to follow for anybody - new or long time members. Helped me find info on soups and Kraft products and many other search inquiries.....and I still double check the labels...

    Richard, I clicked the link above - they are always updated to the day when you click a link - I don't have the regards at this time about the numbers to look for - but the disclaimer was there.....I haven't felt like this in a long time since I'm so careful and only gradually add a new sauce or candy....but it's very random that I do so. I did in fact...

    Oh I'm in heaven! I didn't know I could have ANY Cream of Mushroom soup again! (and Imagine is yucky) Now I can cook my meats in mushroom soup again (pork steaks, liver "YES LIVER", chicken....add to my broccoli and cheese soup.......) I'm gonna go get me some!!!!!! Thank You!
  15. tmbarke
    Thank you for the news...........now....... DAMN IT! I just bought those for the first time last nite so I could make some chili cheese dip (with velveeeta!!!!) and I couldn't understand why my neck felt swollen and twisted! damn damn damn!@$#%!!&# What a deal breaker! Thank you for posting this....for so many years lol But I only bought them...

    according to your list - it says RC cola is safe - but I get a BAD reaction from it....Like I'm twisting in the neck. So I think it's best to double check with these products. Just for caution's sake.

    Baxter...........welcome to the world of Gluten Free Chances are that when you're celiac - you're vitamin / nutrient deficient. I'm assuming you've researched the whole Gluten Free / Celiac thing to find out the Celiacs have damage to their intestines and does not allow the absorption of nutrients.....so it makes sense if you're anemic. Eat the basics...

    ARCHIVED Recommend A Doctor In You State

    tmbarke replied to a topic in Doctors

    Dr. Peter Ritsema, MD Advantage Health Jenison, Mi I went in for a physical - told him about symptoms I was having....and he put me on a Gluten Free diet immediately. I went back to see him because of bronchitis 2 months later..........told him I didn't know whether to Hate him or Thank him for putting me on the gluten-free lifestyle........His jaw...

    I HAVE BEEN LUCKY WITH CELEBRATION CINEMA POPCORN - I HAD A COUPLE PCS TO TEST IT - NO REACTION (I'd feel it in my neck first) AND THEN ATE A FEW MORE! I LOVED IT! I WAS SOOOO HAPPPPPPPYYYYYYYYYYYYYY! I ALSO BRING MY PEPSI OR WATER WITH ME IN A BIG POCKET OR PURSE. NO ONE REALLY MONITORS THE MOVIE.......I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYONE CHECKING YOU OUT WHILE WATCHING...

    Try Classico pasta sauces - they are excellent in flavor and will state gluten free on the jar - I just had the alfred sundried tomato and loved it!

    I have to giggle at this subject - only how you talk about it...........lol I've had dentures since I was 25 - same reason as you. The best thing I EVER did for myself. It took 2 visits.......upper first then the lowers My gums healed and about a month or so later, I got my new smile. Keep your lips stretched........or you'll walk around with all teeth...

    Could it have been the vaccine? Do you know the ingredients of that? I use Vicks Dayquil......or equivelant.

    I thought coffee was just coffee - until Maxwell House was giving me reactions.......so I went back to Folgers and I drink the French Roast and Gourmet Roast. I then learned that some companies use flour on their equipment to keep the beans and oil from sticking..........sheesh. That may just be it with the Maxwell House. Anyone Else react with Maxwell...

    Before going gluten free - I had heartburn 2-3x's a day! I've had to take prilosec with my vitamins and supplements daily I'd get heartburn from coffee and citric acids and tomatoes. I no longer have heartburn issues - which is a wonderful relief to me as I've dealt with it daily for years! Its amazing how our lives change by changing our diets

    I understand the confusion. You're best off to start with what God intended us to eat while in transition. Fruits Vegetables Whole Meats Milk Eggs Nuts Brown Rice It is best to avoid processed foods at this stage. You can check the FAQ's on websites to check the gluten contents of their products. I found that Hormel meats will state Gluten Free...
