    That sounds great! I have only tried Redbridge beer, so that would be something different for me!

    I am definitely going to try that, as my Whole Foods Market is 26 miles from my house....Thanks for the idea.

    Thanks for the info! Believe it or not, Denver is where I am originally from...now I'm stuck here. You're right about the larger air holes in baked goods. The higher altitude you go the more that theme is present. I went to college in Fort Collins, and used to bhake cakes and they would have craters in them, it seemed.

    I live in Houston, and The Whole Foods Market I go to does NOT have this bread. Anyplace else you suggest I try?

    Just saw your postings. I do a lot of natural/herbal balancing. One thing that worked for me, without question, was Royal Jelly. Calms down inflammation. Ask your doc about it. I have been off gluten for over 3 months now, and inflammation is still an issue for me. When I stop the Royal Jelly, I am not quite right. Since I am an older age, I am told it could...

    Exactly. So far I can't find another brand that is gluten free. Looks like I am making it from scratch from now on.

    Not that you can get it at a restaurant, but Hebrew National hotdogs are gluten free. BUT, since they are kosher as well, I one time asked if the hotdog (at a function) was kosher, and they brought out a package that happened to be Hebrew National, and cooked one up for me. Apparently they had purchased them due to some people not eating pork.

    Thanks for the input. I couldn't believe it when I found out this is the first Pizza Fusion in Texas, let alone Houston, and here it is 2 miles away. I am supposing that they are a bit pricey. But I haven't had a pizza FOREVER !!!!!

    Yes, you are in luck. There are two main soy sauce brands. The first, and best, is San-j What-free soy sauces. There are delicious, but a bit pricey. La Choy makes a wheat -free sauce, but it is not very tasty, IMMO. I buy the San-j at Whole Foods Market. You could buy online, if your stores don't carry them. There is also a low-salt wheat-free version San...

    ARCHIVED Pizza Fusion

    Alphawave posted a topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    Anyone who has Pizza Fusion in their state, have you tried the gluten-free crust? We just had a restaurant move into HOuston, right in my area, and was wanting to know if you liked the pizzas.

    The others are absolutely correct as to the B vitamins. I suggest that you try sublingual B-12 (you can get these anywhere, even Walgreens). You cannot overdose on B vitamins, and you are going to have trouble until you heal to absorb nutrients. By the way, a recent study, (the Haines Study), says 42% of Americans are vitamin b-12 deficient. Also, you MUST...

    I am newly diagnosed, and am finding the same problems with certain items. Saturday I bought some "gluten-free" oat bars that were organic. By nightfall of having the first one, it was clear there was a problem. I am still not doing well today. Nature's Path is the brand. I checked the label very carefully too!!!! Grrr!

    Wow, 9 years. I guess I will hope you can help with these issues, I thank you for your help one THIS issue, too. Sounds like I will be putting up with people time to time. Never occurred to me that this kind of thing started social rows.
  15. Alphawave
    I absolutely love your answer! Yes, these people are manipulators. You would think I would be used to it being a nurse.....but when it is close to home...... Also, haven't heard anybody say "wanker" since my father, who was from Edinburgh, Scotland. Loved to hear it.

    You all have come up with some great ideas! Thank you so much for the creative replies. I think in most instances the suggestions will work perfectly. These particular people (have been longtime friends of husband), are going to be a "hard sell". My husband is adamant that I don't cause any trouble about this, and they are very rigid, stubborn couple. I...

    I too had huge amounts of joint pain that extended to both feet. Because I am type 1 diabetic, doctors kept telling me it was due to the diabetes. Yet, my diabetes is in "tight" control, so I never believed that. Finally getting a diagnosis of Celiac (+ anti gliadin antibodies) on Oct 7th, and going gluten-free since then, my foot pain is dramatically lessened...

    Hi there. I have some posts on this subject, as I am getting flack back from certain family members. But, I note that you are dealing with a "doctor" in the family. I am a 55 yr old nurse, and I can tell you that plenty of doctors have a stiff-necked approach with patients. Many have certain old school teachings that doesn't allow them to think outside the...

    Disability for SSI? Very hard to get. I know, I am on it. Not for Celiacs, I assure you. Not for Type 1 diabetes, I have that too. I have Class 2 heart failure due to a pituitary tumor (end stage). I have kidney artery damage and am missing most of my pituitary, and only have a 1/3 piece of an adrenal gland left, the other one was taken completely out surgically...

    I am very nervous on what to say when I go to someone's house for dinner, etc. I have to go to a brunch next week, and I have a SS going to be there too, and if I say anything about the food.....well it will start a war. Do I say to the hostess, "does this dish have wheat?" Or explain I have celiacs, or just say "Wheat allergy", instead of explaining about...

    A couple of things come to mind. Both my daughter and I (both celiacs) have low Vitamin D, B and we are both within 6 weeks of being diagnosed. I also had a very high CRP level (denotes inflammation). My joints and muscles HURT, just not as badly as before the gluten-free diet. BOTH of us had bad problems during the 2-3 week period following the gluten removal...

    Thank you for your kind response. Keeping a distance is easy for me, I will remember this idea. Actually, the past 2+ years, since my pituitary disaster, my husband has held me at arm's length. It happened very suddenly after my surgery. No matter how cheerful and steady I am, he will NOT take up for me anymore, it seems. We have been married 18 years...
  23. Alphawave
    I agree. I am usually pretty calm and silent, and it works out fine in the gatherings. BUT I stew about it later. You advise is good, as well!

    I received an e-mail today from a sister-in-law, and inadvertently the "forwarding " had come from my step-son (33 yr old). To give you background, I had an end-stage pituitary tumor (brain), that required 2 different surgeries, and at one point nearly cost me my life. Step son says he thinks I had some nerve talking to the family and burdening them all with...

    Long before I knew I had Celiac, I had removed all dairy products, which I KNEW were a problem, unless it was yogurt or hard cheese (low lactose). I tried Almond Dream and knew something was wrong. At first I thought it was the coffee. I then tried Almond BREEZE, and have never had a problem in my coffee. Now that I have a confirmed diagnosis of Celiac,...
