ARCHIVED Not Impressed With Pamela's Chocolate Chip Cookies
Glamour posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Small cookies in bag. Also expensive. Trader Joes Ginger Snaps are better and $1.99 I have noticed gluten-free baked goods taste gritty and very sugary. -
ARCHIVED Got Glutend Last Night Really Bad.
Glamour replied to Mey Marie's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I agree with the fact that the body must be super sensitive to many other things if one has been celiac for a while. The DH rash seems to react to the smallest amount of gluten (maybe the villi are damaged and the antibodies are concentrated in the skin to a point that set backs are frequent. I am not giving up. I feel better. I am starting to sleep... -
ARCHIVED Is Kitchen Bouquet Gluten Free?
Glamour replied to Lynayah's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I quit using that years ago because it was full of MSG, check that out. Is soy sauce in it? -
ARCHIVED What Things Have Gluten In Them That You Would Not Expect
Glamour replied to Glamour's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
What I am puzzled about and it makes me very wary, is the verbal speech I got from Oscar Mayer/Kraft foods today. If they are so confident of the products, why don't they say Gluten Free? They say they will break down an ingredient in parenthesis or say wheat. Same with chip manufacturers. If the chip has corn, sea salt and oil, where is the gluten... -
I am about 3 weeks into the gluten-free diet. I have not had any official tests. I do think I was being glutened by either Kettle Chips, Margaritaville and Garden Fresh chips (same company manufactures them and they will commit to gluten-free in some foods but not the chips (sea salt could be causing the reaction too if it has iodine) Something got...

ARCHIVED Kroger Bean Dip Gluten Free?

ARCHIVED Could It Be My Gallbladder?
Glamour replied to AlexJ72's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
REad up up on liver and gallbladder health and flushes. Then do this under the supervision of a Dr. that has some concept of preventative and holistic medicine. I would try this before doing surgery, unless it is an emergency. High fat and bad diets contribute to these problems. -
ARCHIVED Got Glutened But Not With The "usual" Symptoms
Glamour replied to Harley0000's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I was getting very short of breath easily, and panic type attacks, tingling in arms, hands and feet. Sometimes I would go to pick something up and I could not properly close my fingers without getting sharp pains. I had ECG and blood tests. Diagnosed with bad anemia, they wanted me to have blood transfusions at the ER. I went home and started taking... -
I cried and could not sleep for the first 5 days I tried to go gluten-free. At first I thought it was just mental, I like cookies, toast, biscuits, fried food, french bread. But it was real craving I also got mad because of hidden gluten. There is a connection to the craving that is just physical. I tried to give coffee and dairy up 100% at...

ARCHIVED What Things Have Gluten In Them That You Would Not Expect
Glamour posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I think I have been glutened by Garden Fresh Gourmet and Margaritaville Tortilla chips as well as Cheetos. Trying to be pure about gluten-free is not easy. What about tricky teas and coffees, cooking oils, tomato sauces,, etc. -
I find keep it simple is best. I have purchased everything under the sun. Too many ingredients and I am bound to react to something. I think this disease makes you SUPER DUPER reactive to any kind of chemical. I like about 1/4 cup of baking soda in a warm bath when it gets crazy. I bought a bath ball to dechlorinate and a shower filter, because of...

ARCHIVED Safe Chorizo?
Glamour replied to vampkestrel's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I just bought a soy version from Trader Joes - gluten free. It is not bad - it is pre-cooked. I don't know what real chorizo tastes like. It is red and spicy - you take it out of casing. -
yet another Here's how I make a wheat-free roux for my gumbo. 2/3 c. soy flour 1/3 c. corn flour 2/3 c. up to 1 c. veggie oil Place ingredients in skillet or stock pot with thick bottom. Quick method is to cook on high heat for about 10 - 15 minutes preferably with a wooden spoon that has a flat end like a spatula. STIR CONSTANTLY!! Do not take...

another Tom Sawyer flour is at: glutenfreeflour.com another I use Bob's Red Mill All Purpose gluten-free Flour. It works perfectly. Use it in the same measurements you did regular flour. I make all sorts of gravy and even bechamel / cheese sauces with it for mac and cheese and to go over veggies. Nancy another I use potato...

Ingredients * 1 stick (4oz) butter * 5 tablepoons (2oz) cornstarch *

Originally from Lafayette, LA. I was wondering the same thing...how to make a darn roux. I have thought about just trying to do a flourless roux with the Holy trinity very well browned. I have also thought about writing to a chef like Emeril or Chef Paul to ask them how to convert some receipes.

ARCHIVED The Bad News Keeps Rolling In.
Glamour replied to Brooklyn528's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Try not to stress and keep us posted. Just curious, if one is celiac and catches it early, and abides by the diet, will that help to prevent further deterioration and other autoimmune disease? Or is it just a given. -
How could I forget PAIN. It is like sitting on rocks. I am currently sitting on a tempurpedic pillow. Jeans hurt. The outline of the pocket is like sandpaper. Elastic in underwear is unbearable. pants behind the knees hurts loose, babysoft cotton clothing is all I can wear, my uniform is a long cotton tea shirt or gown , whe home alone.

My legs, arms, chest and butt look like a war zone. I don't know when I will be able to show some skin, much less wear a dress. Hose would drive me up the wall and they would have to be opaque, which are back in syle. Congratulations on the Dress...work it girl!

I have some that are fading, but others that seem to be reacting worse, hot, angry, red, weepy. I wonder if it is a get worse before it gets better detoxing type reaction. I also wonder if mild infections and fungus rashes get mixed in with severe DH and those rashes are not clearing up. I just did a vinegar bath soak and it seems to be helping. ...

I am on the gluten-free diet - 3 weeks. The derm I saw 2 years ago did do a biopsy, but only the places on neck and scalp, said it was eczema/psoriais. I accepted that. Gave me steroid and topicals which only thinned and damaged my skin and made rash worse. Wanted me to take prednisone, I filled it and never took it after researching it. The biopsy area...

Do these have any gluten? They don't list anything noticable but no gluten free disclaimer.

Does your rash go from flat and dry, to weeping, itching, hot and raised, several times during the course of one 24 hour period? Peeling and crusty, flakey at times. At other time like an ulcer? A spot might be dry with flakey skin but still oozes a clear or pale yellow watery liquid. Worse at night or upon waking? So itchy, that it feels like it...

My 3rd week of gluten free. I really think milk and cheese are causing me issues. Many folks with DH say to get off of it until the rash gets better and then try it. I feel like now I am going heavy on corn products. I went to decaf coffee and a tiny bit of half and half, instead of a quarter cup of 2% milk and I am doing better. I am having only...

Need to check Aldi out, a bit out of the way. Shopping for gluten-free is getting very expensive.
