    I used to bake "real" bread when my kids were little. I hadn't made any for years until several months ago. I still wasn't baking gluten-free and the bread I made was OK, but I used to do much better. I suspected I might be noticing a difference because I had a gas stove years ago and I now have a electric stove. THEN--I had to eat gluten-free and...

    Thanks for the encouragement and support. I'm heading out to Syracuse to the De Witt Wegmans to sample gluten-free food. They have a tasting session every Saturday from noon to 5. Nancy

    I woke up a dozen times before I wanted to get up today. I have considerable fibromyalgia pain which is always at its worst when I wake up.. Now that could simply be a coincidence but it has definitely caught my interest. My doctor says I don't have any bowel involvement. He frequently makes concrete statements that leave me wondering how much I believe...

    After struggling with the decision to stay on the gluten-free diet, I went off tonight. In my quest to find something I liked for breakfast I made Rice Crispy Treats with gluten-free cereal and gluten-free marshmallows. I bought a bag of Wegman's marshmallows two days ago and then began to wonder if they were really safe. The ingredients didn't specify...

    When I was eating any bread I wanted I liked Monk's white, raisin bread, and occasionally, the whole wheat. Wegmans makes a white bread that is similar to Monks, but I thought it was nicer. Sometimes I would get a crazy desire for Wonder bread if I wanted a PBJ or BLT on really soft bread. I also enjoyed sandwiches on hamburg rolls. I liked potato...

    Being an RN for 28.5 years was my second career, I was first a public school music teacher. I spent most of my nursing time in the acute side of the hospital, but I did go to the nursing home as a supervisor for about five years toward the end of my career. I never took care of even one celiac patient! I was a pediatric nurse for the first 13 years and...

    I found the long version of my gluten-free dilemma. It is titled Totally Confused and is in the Pre Diagnosis Testing and Symptoms section. If-- anyone should want to read more about my weird journey through the celiac world

    Thanks for the replies. I am a retired RN and have had to practice "sterile technique" for my entire nursing career. I do understand how to detect and eliminate CC. I have it fairly easy because I live alone and don't have anyone else in my kitchen--ever. I cleaned my cupboards and donated all my gluten food. I don't eat out because my first and only...

    Hi mamaw-- Yesterday I submitted a long post explaining why I don't know if I will stay on the gluten-free diet. It hasn't been posted--maybe I am waiting for it to be pinned? Anyway, as briefly as I can make my response to you, I am not completely confident in my gastroenterologist/hepatologist. I have tested positive for transglutaminase and my...

    I am trying to decide whether to continue gluten-free or return on a regular diet. Not so brief history--My major complaint is occasional numbness of my fingers, severe muscle pain, almost immediate exhaustion, profuse sweating of my head and face, extreme facial flushing, a very rapid pulse and rapid dehydration when I attempt slight to moderate exertion...

    I have a friend who is totally optimistic about everything, and I am the complete opposite. My glass remains half empty and now that I am on a gluten-free diet, that glass often seems entirely empty. Anyway, I believe that my friend is not faking her optimism. This did take me a while and I have called her Pollyanna in the past when I was totally frustrated...

    I live near Syracuse and Auburn and both have Wegmans. The larger the store, the better the selection. Wegmans has a list of their label foods that are gluten free. If you are willing to buy their generics the list is huge and is frequently updated. The current list came out on Nov. 2 and is 31 pages. I wish their stores had free wireless internet because...

    I haven't played for years but I still consider myself a bassoonist

    OK. The original post opined that living with celiac and the gluten-free diet sucks. I poured my heart out complaining about how awflu I find it. Others have stated that they feel lucky they don't have a worse cross to bear. Some responses seem to indicate the writers' are more mellow and can accept the lifestyle because it is necessary. It appears that...

    I'm new and definitely not a computer genius. I saw the icon above the field entry box as I wrote and I clicked on it. I was directed to download the program and I did. I can find it on my computer but when I am writing to this forum and check the icon I am again directed to download the program. "IESpell is a free Internet Explorer browser extension...

    I am lucky because I have used Colgate toothpaste all my life and when I checked on the net for the gluten-free status, it is gluten-free. I am also fortunate because I am retired, 65 and no longer trying to hold a job or catch a man I don't use makeup except for a little color on my brows if I feel the need to look great. I guess I should check Maybeline...

    I am going to chance it and say exactly how I feel because honesty appears to be accepted here. I told the truth and made many people angry on a previous list so I hope it doesn't happen here. First, please try to understand how rigid I sound--I am very slightly Asperger's Syndrome which is on the low end of the Autism spectrum. So I am on the low side and...
