	ARCHIVED What Is A Healthy Oil To Add To Cake Recipes?Coleslawcat replied to Michelle1234's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips I use canola oil. It is healthier than corn oil and vegetable oil and doesn't add any odd flavors.

	ARCHIVED Reaction To Bananas And Pears?Coleslawcat replied to AVR1962's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease It definitely sounds like an allergy. My son has a banana allergy. There are actually two different forms of banana allergies. One causes hives and what most people think of as the typical allergic reaction. The other causes a GI reaction which involves vomiting after exposure. My son has the 2nd form. From what I was told the latex link is a lot more common...

	ARCHIVED Restaurants Near Disneyland gluten-free?Coleslawcat replied to areyoufreakingceliac?'s topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants The Denny's right across the street was awesome too. The manager took my concerns very seriously and personally oversaw the cooking of my meal and delivered herself and told me exactly how they cleaned the grill and what precautions they took. I was seriously impressed by the care she took. They have a list with the allergens in all of their food. It takes...

	The BJs near me doesn't have a mural, but the Qdoba does. We go there on occassion. The mural shows women grinding wheat down into flour. And their cups showcase different ingredients and somehow I always end up with the cup with the flour tortillas. It makes my husband and I laugh every time.

	ARCHIVED Gluten/egg/dairy/nut Free BreadColeslawcat posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications Are there any gluten/egg/dairy/nut free breads on the market? I have a friend whose daughter has allergies to egg/dairy/nuts and her doctor wants her to eliminate gluten as well. She is hoping to not have to make the bread. Are there any brands out there are free of all of those? Do they taste decent?

	ARCHIVED Gluten Free PlaydohColeslawcat replied to azmontessoriteacher's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs I decorate cakes (gluten free of course). I always have a bunch of fondant and gumpaste on hand. When my kids want to play with playdoh I give them a little hunk of fondant to play and mold with. It works for us because I always have a bunch on hand, but it would probably be more expensive than other options out there for most people.

	ARCHIVED Completely gluten-free Resturaunts?Coleslawcat replied to CeliacMom2008's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants Gluten Free Creations in Scottsdale, AZ. They have 2 locations. The Phoenix location is a bakery only. The Scottsdale location has a small restaurant where they serve sandwiches/salads etc as well as sell their bakery goods.

	I miss having a carefree attitude toward food. Just being able to grab anything and try it without worrying about ingredients and cross contamination.

	ARCHIVED Celiac In 9 Month Old?Coleslawcat posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms Please help me understand this. I have celiac disease. I also have an amazing pediatrician for my children who understands that it can be very tricky to diagnose celiac and my children need to be monitored more closely because of my diagnosis. The pedi orders a celiac panel run on my kids every time they have bloodwork done for any reason, figuring it's a...

	ARCHIVED I Need To Replace My Springform Pan, Don't I?Coleslawcat replied to julandjo's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease I'd be just fine washing it well and continuing to use it.

	ARCHIVED Condensed SoupsColeslawcat replied to ndw3363's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications I use the Pacific cream of soups and they work very well in place of campbells. I've made several casseroles for my non-gluten free friends and family as well and none of them could tell any difference.

	ARCHIVED What's For Breakfast Today?Coleslawcat replied to GlutenFreeManna's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips I'm bad today. A slice of devil's food cake with buttercream, gluten-free of course.

	ARCHIVED Please Weigh In On The "new Pans/new Spoons/etc" Issue For MeColeslawcat replied to slee11211's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips Your crock pot is fine, just wash it well. I'm not sure on the cast iron question. I would guess google could tell you how to unseason it. I was never using my cast iron anyway so I gave mine away.

	I had my gallbladder out earlier this summer. The first day I threw up a lot but it slowed down the 2nd day and was completely gone by the third. I didn't feel too hungry the first few days, when I did eat it was peanut butter toast (Udi's). I'm sort of doubting celiac causing gall bladder problems, only because it seems gall bladder problems are so common...

	The What's For Dinner Tonight ChatColeslawcat replied to jess-gf's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips Tonight is spaghetti night at my daughter's request. I just use my old favorite sauce recipe with TJ brown rice spaghetti. It's such a delicious simple meal, but we haven't had it in forever because it's just been way too hot to have sauce simmering on my stovetop for several hours. But my daughter has been begging so I'm finally doing it despite it being...

	ARCHIVED Top Three Worst Gf ProductsColeslawcat replied to anerissara's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications I can find it at Whole Foods and a local gluten free store. But I also live in the state that it's manufactured in so it may not be as easy to find elsewhere. I have heard that if one Whole Foods carries it than any Whole Foods can special order it though.

	ARCHIVED Top Three Worst Gf ProductsColeslawcat replied to anerissara's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications The Tom Sawyer flour has a great pizza crust recipe on their website too. I use it all the time and it is fabulous. I tried so many others before finding this one and it is by the best. I haven't tried the king arthur flour yet because I've been so satisfied with this crust. Open Original Shared Link

	ARCHIVED Please Weigh In On The "new Pans/new Spoons/etc" Issue For MeColeslawcat replied to slee11211's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips I replaced the strainer and wooden spoons. I did not replace all of my non-stick pans. I replaced a few very beat up cookie sheets and 1 9x13 pan that was very scratched. I did not replace my non-stick stuff. Frankly, I couldn't afford to at the time and it was on the list of stuff to replace when I could afford it. But I never had an issue with it and I...

	ARCHIVED Better Batter FlourColeslawcat replied to zus888's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips For cookies I use Roben Ryberg's Gluten Free Cookie Book. It doesn't use blends it uses brown rice flour and sorghum flour (in different recipes) and adjusts the rest of the recipes to compensate. I love some of the recipes in there and was satisfied though not in love with others. None have been bad though. I rarely use the Better Batter for cookies. Brown...

	ARCHIVED Quick! Freeze Cupcakes W/ Or W/out Frosting?Coleslawcat replied to sreese68's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips Without. Make sure they aren't touching when you first freeze them. After they are frozen you can transfer them to a freezer bag to make storage easier and just pull out however many you want and let come to room temperature.

	ARCHIVED Better Batter FlourColeslawcat replied to zus888's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips I used the Better Batter again last night for cupcakes and once again no one I served them to even suspected they were gluten free. The Pamela's pancake mix is good. It doesn't taste like traditional pancakes, but they taste good. I don't use pankcake/biscuit mixes. I just use my Better Batter and make my pancakes/waffles from scratch. They come out great...

	ARCHIVED Substitute For OrzoColeslawcat replied to MacieMay's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips I'd try arborio rice.

	ARCHIVED Can You Eat Gluten-Free Oats?Coleslawcat replied to Skylark's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications I was told to wait 6 months before trying them. By then I was pregnant and I didn't want to chance a reaction so I waied until after I had the baby. I tried them about a year after going gluten-free without any trouble. I've been enjoying them since on a regular basis. I had a biopsy done a month ago to verify my damage was healed and I had a 100% normal...

	ARCHIVED Gallbladder WoesColeslawcat replied to shadowicewolf's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease I had my gallbladder out a few months ago. I had a lot of stones and during my last pregnancy I had some very severe attacks. They can't remove it during pregnancy without significant risks so I just dealt with it. After the pregnancy the attacks stopped but I had it out on my OB's recommendation because I plan to have another child someday. I have no idea...
