    I ate some cassava chips just this week with no issues. Most of their products will say if they are manufactured on shared equipment. I've not tried the dried pineapple but I have successfully eated some trail mixes labeled no gluten ingredients. It sounds like you are pretty sensitive so I'd maybe call to be sure. Everytime I've dealt with them they...

    Glad it went so well and congratulations to your daughter! I think sometimes people will ask why someone isn't eating out of curiosity but for the most part people are so self absorbed they forget it about it pretty quickly! lol

    Kareng has it right. I get so mad when I see wheat in products where it is 110% unneeded!

    I don't blame you for skipping the endoscopy. I had one last year to look for an ulcer and though they noted that I had extreme inflammation in my small intestines they didn't biopsy it! My new doctor has suggested I may want to pursue getting another but I have been gluten free for 11 months now, get very sick from any CC, and don't want to shell out another...

    The only time this sort of thing bothers me is when PMS hits. That's when I get sad and want things I can't have. I agree with the others bring a special treat that you just love. Make everyone else jealous!

    I would love to tell you that these posts you are reading are from fanatic people obsessed with gluten but I'm afraid they are probably accurate. After almost a year of following the diet I have become increasingly sensitive to CC. Honestly I am at the point where going out to dinner causes issues 80% of the time. Also I am so intuned with my digestive...

    My inlaws can't make any side dish without ritz crackers...seriously green bean casserole, corn casserole, pineapple (seriously) casserole...ect. I bring a few safe dishes of my own. Double check the turkey and eat only that and my stuff. Nothing else. Also I get my plate first so no one drops gluten in the safe foods!

    At my nephew's party they served Subway sandwiches and my mother-in-law was trying to get me to pick the meat and cheese off. She just couldn't understand that it still wasn't safe. Maybe I'm wrong, but I always suspect that people like the great aunt are getting quite a bit more gluten than they think and that if they were to totally eliminate it for...

    I have some Hall's sore throat drops and they are supposed to be gluten free. However, they do have glucose syrup in them which can be derived from wheat starch but supposedly has so little ppm of gluten that it isn't supposed to cause reactions. Nonetheless, I've heard people say they have reacted to glucose syrup so it could be the drops for your sore...

    Forgot to add, yes if you keep ingesting gluten you are more likely to get cancer of the small intestines and also at increased risk for a certain type of lymphoma.

    I think a lot of autoimmune conditions are connected but I don't have specifics about Meniere's. What I really wanted to say was PLEASE don't cheat! Yes it could be causing you to feel sore all over. My whole body hurts when I eat gluten. Also there is absolutely nothing you can take that will stop your body from attacking the gluten. The only thing...

    Thanks Nor_TX, I really meant my post to be educational because sadly I have a lot more experience than I'd like to have with mono! I don't know what kinds of things you are able to take with your other meds or conditions but you may want to try Olive Leaf extract. Some studies show it can help suppress mono and similar viruses. It's also got some...

    I'm sorry that I've obviously offended people with my supposed insensitivity! I was simply trying to say that with mono it isn't very easy to stay home until you are not contagious because every person and every case is different and you could be off for months. Doctors don't even know for sure how long each individual may be contagious. Again I apologize...

    I am so happy for you! The cruise sounds awesome and so does the new guy! Congratulations.
  15. lynnelise
    I do honestly get where you guys are coming from and if it was the flu or strep throat I would say this lady definately needs to stay home. The thing about mono is that you are contagious 2-4 weeks before you even have symptoms. You can continue to be contagious for up to 18 months AFTER symptoms disappear! Mono is in the same virus family as shingles...

    Obviously I meant eat or drink AFTER them.
  17. lynnelise
    You are contagious with mono but it's not really airborne like a cold. You actually have to eat or drink or kiss the person. Something that would expose you to their saliva. The other teacher with the slobbering and the chapstick will probably catch mono. She sounds like a weirdo personally. I do not work around children but when I had mono last year...

    I would only trust certified gluten free oats if those. I would explore other hot cereal options. They make quinoa flakes that cook up quite similar to oatmeal.

    My gallbladder stopped functioning about 5 years ago, confirmed by a HIDA scan w/ cck. After having it removed I continued to have less severe right rib cage pain until I quit eating gluten. I think gluten issues and gallbladder problems are definately connected.

    Honestly if it's someone you don't know very well and they are the type that won't take "gluten intolerance" seriously just tell them you have celiac. They don't need to know your medical history. If you have all the symptoms and quitting gluten makes those symptoms go away then I say you have your answer. "If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck...

    I'm a bit far from you then. I'm in West Virginia. It's nestled between Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, and Maryland. Quite rural so we don't get a lot of new products or speciality products very quickly.

    I got mine at Wal-mart for $3.50ish. (I live in WV so we're usually last to get stuff like that!) I used it in a couple of muffin and cookie recipes and it did fine. I prefer Pamela's gluten-free baking mix but the Bisquick is a lot cheaper and perfectly acceptable. I also love the brownie mix and I used the cookie mix to make a chocolate chip cheesecake...

    Anything with phyllo dough. Also my mother in law made apple dumplings the other day and sat beside me and proceeded to ooooh and ahhhh over them. The smell was killing me and I wanted to snap her neck! lol!

    Soylent Green?!?!

    I've always liked the South Beach diet. I used to think it was amazing how it cleared up my stomach issues, now I know why! lol! I've been indulging in a bit too many gluten-free goodies so I need to get back on board myself!
