    For anyone who shops in the Rochester, NY area, please share your favorites for gluten-free food. I live closer to Syracuse but don't mind shopping in Rochester occasionally. Thanks.

    Ahoresoul, The store is on Bridge Street. If a demand for the bread develops maybe Sally will carry some of the other good Udi's stuff mentioned here.

    Everything I have read says or implies that a strict gluten-free diet for life is very beneficial. No gluten, return to a healthy small bowel, no more villi damage... better absorption and better health.

    I am the all time biggest complainer, PIA, bad mouthing, miserable person when it comes to describing just how terrible gluten-free baked goods are. I am the princess and the pea of gluten-free complainers. I have tried numerous scratch recipes, mixes and ready-to-eat gluten-free baked goods that other celiacs describe as wonderful and so good that...

    I first began the gluten-free diet in August but went off for a biopsy. I have been gluten-free continuously since around September 25. I have said all along I don't feel any better while on the diet. My main complaint that resulted in the diagnosis was extremely severe muscle pain and exhaustion (way beyond fatigue) after only a few minutes of moderate...

    My experience with asking Wegman's a question is excellent. Go to their site and enter your question regarding cornstarch and they will reply fairly quickly. Did you check their 31 page list of their brands that are gluten-free?

    Peter, I had forgotten about the barley. I was perfectly happy with the previous Canidae formula and then they raised the price and changed the formula so I started looking into other kibble. I found a local chain, Country Max, that has frequent sales. By then I had introduced the Chicken Soup and the dogs were doing well on it. I prefer to have them...

    I wonder at what rate unstimulated antibodies decline, or if they remain in our bodies forever. With the H1N1 flu, people old enough to have presumably been exposed many decades ago are expected to have at least partial protection. However, boosters are given after a number of immunizations. I need a crash course in immunology. If people who have developed...

    Hey, I'm silly or naive or dangerous right behind you. I asked a similar question because I wanted to know how it can be, if we never truly attain a totally gluten free status because of airborne or minute CC, why do some people know when they have been glutened by CC. There must be some amount of dose relation. How free are we when we stop reacting? ...

    I would like to make a one crust pie crust utilizing coconut flour. I have on hand: Brown rice flour White rice flour Sweet rice flour Coconut flour Sorghum flour Tapioca flour Millet flour Potato starch Corn starch Yellow corn meal Xanthan gum Right now I can use a recipe that is pressed but I would also appreciate two...

    Is there something in pumpkin that I should know about? The can of pumpkin says it contains....pumpkin. Is it maybe in the evaporated milk? I use McCormick pumpkin pie spice. I will make a gluten-free crust even though I haven't tasted one that tastes like real crust. I probably won't eat the crust but I feel I have to keep trying so I will pick a recipe...

    Where do you get taco seasoning without wheat? I am assuming you mean a packaged mix. I had to give up using Chili-O and adding my own seasonings. I also use cumin in a number of dishes.

    I belong to a Siberian husky list that has more than 1000 members, some international. I don't believe any of us feed grocery store type dog food. I know some members feed TOTW and are pleased with their dogs' health. Long before I was diagnosed with celiac disease I decided that I would not feed any of my pets grains. My four Siberians eat Canidae All...

    Another mother in law gem: or-an juice. What is an oran? I guess it is used to make some kind of juice. MIL also said kime instead of kind. I choke when I hear someone say something is a wayS off. Also, nowhereS, anywhereS, somewhereS. How about a Master's prepared RN Director of Nursing saying and even writing anywayS? I don't think people who...

    I don't mind colloquialisms if I hear them while I am visiting the area in which they are common. I react to mispronunciations of standard American English. I suffer every year because of puNkin, HOloween, FebUary, and pitcher for piCture. A lot is two words and not the same as allot. I cringed as if I heard fingernails on a chalkboard listening to my...

    Congratulations on your new puppy. You are being a responsible dog owner by addressing how to keep her safe and still let her enjoy some freedom. What breed or breeds of dog is she? This is important because some breeds are very prone to escaping, no matter how well they are contained. I own four rescued/adopted Siberian huskies and they are among the...

    Hi and thanks to all who called or emailed the makers of gluten-free Chex. I don't feel any better after 7 weeks of strict adherence to a gluten-free diet, except for the time I used the wrong bag of marshmallows when making "gluten-free" rice crispy bars and was off for two days. I never eat cereal for breakfast but do use it when I want a sweet snack...

    My local supermarket is Wegmans. I believe the name is plural because two Wegman brothers started the company. There are several Wegmans in my area. Wegmans employees in the gluten free aisle are quite knowledgeable. Sometimes I feel I HAVE to add an apostrophe because I am afraid I will appear uneducated if I don't. Still, it is their company and they...

    I went to Wegman's yesterday and found a fresh turkey breast that is nothing but turkey and water. It is their brand and I found a small breast for under $12. An employee from the butcher shop was stocking turkeys and I asked him just for further information. He said it was nothing but turkey. I really am fortunate to live in Wegman's country. I did...

    I read recently that the Auburn group for celiac children is adding an adult group. I'll try to find the info.

    I anyone here a member of a support group in Auburn or Syracuse?

    I am currently nauseated (but definitely not nauseous) every time I hear or read the word-----YUMMY!!!!! Not only on this list, although the use of the word is rampant here, but also TV, radio and newspapers are overdoing this trite word. Like, I go----I can't stand it

    I tried two local supermarkets yesterday and didn't find a turkey breast (to roast, not deli) I felt safe buying. One that is listed in my Cecelia's Gluten-Free book has modified food starch and didn't specify what was in it. Any suggestions? I shop in the Syracuse, NY area and that includes Auburn and Skaneateles. Thanks.

    Avoiding gluten isn't really my question. I want to understand why the extraneous gluten that everyone encounters isn't enough to cause a reaction while a crumb of CC is. I'm not trying to argue; I just want to understand. My closest friend constantly challenges the idea that a crumb can trigger a response. I have explained that the response is autoimmune...

    I am trying to figure out CC if we really can never be totally gluten-free. I have read, and I agree with the idea, that no matter how careful we are, we are going to encounter gluten that we can't control or even anticipate. We live in a gluten filled environment and I am certain we inhale tiny amounts or contaminate ourselves by touching surfaces onto...
