Does anyone have any GOOD information about bleu cheese? I have been told that there is a bleu cheese mold that is NOT made from bread but when I contacted the supposed manufacturer they wouldn't tell me anything. Wouldn't even confirm that they made such a thing. Also said their customer list was "propritary". I told them all I wanted to do was find out...

Has anyone tried to make or found a place to buy gluten-free puff pastry? I have been rather discouraged making bread type products from scratch. I did make some corn muffins that were pretty good using a mixture of gluten-free flours. But the pizza crust I also made using corn starch, rice flour & tapioca starch was HORRIBLE. Crummbled to pieces...

Deb: It sounds like people with celiac develop all sorts of other intolerances. What on earth do they eat????? No grains, no milk, no soy etc etc. Sounds like a good way to starve. I have been gluten-free for about 8 months but still feel tired a lot, & now the aching leg at night. I do take B12 & multivitamins. But I wonder if I am getting...

I've read on this forum or someplace about bone pain associated with celiac. I have been having a pain in my left leg from the hip down to the knee, including the joints but also the thigh bone and only at night. Once I get out of bed it goes away & I am not bothered with any pain during the day. Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Hi Bob: I can certainly relate. I was diagnosed last May & I am still trying to cope with it. (And not doing very well.) It is so frustrating to find that there is so much you CAN'T eat. But there are a lot of us out there, so you will get plenty of advice. If you like Mexican food, you can eat lots of enchiladas made from corn tortillas ...

I went to Oilve Garden for my birthday & wanted to eat the Stuffed Chicken Breast I saw advertised on TV. I thought "hey, I can eat chicken & cheese". Well I was told the cheese sauce had wheat or flour in it. So I abstained. Well yesterday our local newspaper published the recipe which they said was given to them by a chef at Olive Garden &...

Everyone says make gluten-free bread in a bread machine. I used to make bread all the time until I learned I have celiac. Any of the gluten-free bread I have eaten is yucky. Dry & tasteless. I have used Betty Haggman's recipes for biscuits & pizza crust. They are SO hard to work with. Terribly gummy - like wallpaper paste & only taste...

Thanks for the input. Rice Crackers, rice cakes, rice bread - ugh. I actually LIKE rice but it is getting old. I have made biscuits & pizza crust using potato starch & corn starch & they are edible - barely & only when hot. I guess I just haven't gotten used to not eating wheat bread or cereals without wheat. I have tried the rice pasta...

Hope someone can offer some advice. This is my first post. I was diagnosed in May. I have been trying to stick to this awful diet but am getting tired of puffed rice or cream of rice with yogurt for breakfast & only salads or fruit for lunch. I eat egss once or twice a week. Checked out the health food stores but food the food seems unappetizing...
