    Really?? Good to know its possible, but thats very expensive for me. Thanks for the info though! I had no idea. I'm not even sure I've seen it in stores here before.

    If you're the one doing the cooking, I'd just start making every meal gluten free...family should be supportive of you. Homemade gluten free stuff isn't that difficult to make taste good. Your older kids want to try it, will your youngest really be able to tell the difference if no one makes a big deal out of it? Maybe you shouldn't tell your kids that...

    We canadians have slightly different thanksgiving traditions, and we already had ours but we will be having a similar repeat at christmas. turkey, gravy, mashed potatos, lots of veggies, gluten-free sausage stuffing, other stuffing that isn't gluten-free, other family might have yorkshire puddings (we haven't attempted to recreate that one yet) and either...

    "The Gluten-Free Pantry Favorite Sandwich Bread Mix" I've made that with and without a breadmaker. It is a mix, but its a decent white bread. I don't think I've tried Udi's...I've stopped even trying to buy commercial gluten free bread. Just from what I know in general of gluten free bread, I doubt there is a whole lot of difference...unless Udi's has...

    I just looked up some pictures on google, and some of them look very much like her hands. Except her hands are completely red, and in many pictures only the actual spots and the immediate area are red. If it is Dermatitis Herpetiformis, could the redness be from our thinner skin? She may have even done extra damage with the steroid creams. I also don't believe...

    I just read your post about your mum's hands. It is one of my worst and most persistent area. gluten-free has done wonders to my head to toe itching! I've spend 100s of hours trawling dermo/medical websites/images. Perhaps you could email me pictures or post on here(I'm not sure how to though)

    She is lactose intolerant, so very little dairy. Some lactose free milk in her tea in the mornings. Occasionally some cheese. My brother is even less tolerant of lactose than her, so they no longer have dairy in actual meals very often anymore. I have dizzy spells, she has...don't even know what to call them. But you can tell immediately that she is having...

    My mother has an extremely painful 'rash' on her hands that is now occasionally spreading to other parts of her body. The dermatologists cannot find a cause or diagnose it. They have done all sorts of allergy testing, including all the products she works with. No reactions to anything at all except I think she had a very mild one to nickle. Originally...

    You Won't Believe It's Gluten-Free by Roben Ryberg, I second gluten free on a shoestring, and the internet. You can find loads of good recipes on the internet (plus its free lol) Biggest difference I've found (as I remember it) between gluten and gluten-free things tends to be a texture thing, moisture, or funny aftertaste. Also, for baked...

    That sometimes you have to lie and say you have a wheat allergy just to get people to take you seriously. People calling gluten free diets/gluten free products in grocery stores just a "fad". When the person closest to you in the whole entire world doesn't take you seriously and says you'll grow out of it. Despite already being an adult. How so many...

    I just wanted to say you would be surprised how easy it is to cut out ALOT of gluten from your family's diet if you're the one cooking. Although it wasn't a gluten free home, I had my family eating gluten free about 90% of the time this summer while I was staying with them (and they were better for it, even if they might not admit it!) I know you're...

    Open Original Shared Link maybe it comes from stuff like that? no clue if its true or not, but I'd rather not risk it. Personally I feel better knowing that none of my toiletries or beauty products have gluten in them, just in case. If you live in a home where the other members of your family/household still eat gluten foods...you have no idea how...

    I've had alot of issues with doctors and the tests I've had. I've had most of them done, but it didn't do any good. When I had my endoscopy they decided not to take a biopsy while I was under and they were already down there. Because everything looked pink and healthy. Since then, I have read that in childhood Celiac, the damage to the small intestine...

    The nausea was a constant symptom before I went gluten-free. Before I went gluten-free when I was vomiting blood I got a huge run around where when the doctors couldn't find the actual cause, they went back and contradicted several things they said earlier. But I was checked for ulcers and tried treating them with no help. Definately not pregnant, and...

    I have been gluten free for almost 6 months and the nausea is coming back. I used to throw up every morning and couldn't eat for hours. Not too long after going gluten-free I was eating breakfast every morning! Until the last few weeks if I didn't eat within about an hour of waking up, I would get a stomach ache. Now for the last two weeks the nausea is...

    Don't bother with gluten-free bread, or bread like things for now. You'll just be disappointed and your family won't eat them. Open Original Shared Link I've made those, I got the hang of it by the second try. My mom liked them. Next step is to try them on my younger brother. That will be the real test. But fresh out of the pan, when they are still...

    I just came across this, and I know its been a while since anyone posted but I have to chime in. I am nearly in tears with sympathy for your daughter. When I was in grade 9 or 10 my councellor broke a ridiculous number of privacy laws on more than one occasion and it has been quite damaging to me several years later. I couldn't do anything about it...

    I've been gluten free for about 7 months now, and I lost alot of weight from being sick. I gained a bit of it back, and while my BMI was technically underweight, 18.1, I am delicate and I did not look unhealthy at that point. But I began losing muscle mass. I have not really been active since I was a little kid, I was too tired and depressed most of the time...

    I understand there is a fair bit of controvery over the subject...but I'm having a serious issue. I'm starting cosmetics school this summer. I emailed the coordinator about the kit we are required to purchase. I'm waiting to hear back on the gluten status of the products inside. I am hoping I can just replace/supplement the kit with a few things if some...

    I buy my flour from the Gluten-Free section at BulkBarn. Good prices, and haven't had a problem yet!

    Thankfully I don't eat at other people's houses very often! I can't even eat at my family's house without feeling ill after. It is really hard to tell people you can't eat what they make, or that it made you sick. I told my mom that and felt awful because she got upset. But its really hard to avoid cross contamination! It happens even when you are trying...

    I've got the exact same issue, it feels so much worse now when I accidentally eat gluten. But I've wondered if thats just because of the contrast? Before I was sick constantly. Now if I'm good for a few weeks then I get glutened, does it just seem worse because I'm feeling better most of the time? But wouldn't it make sense too, for the reaction to be stronger...

    There are some oriental noodles that are gluten free. Still rice based, but a different taste. I've got a package here, the brand is Young & Young Trading Co Ltd, its a Canadian company. They are Rice Vermicelle noodles. Real Canadian Super Store has corn based noodles. The colour is a little off-putting, they are like neon orange but when i read the...

    I buy things from Bulk Barn, a bulk food store here in Canada (don't know if it is anywhere else). They even have regular noodles next to gluten-free noodles and I've never gotten a reaction from anything there. I buy pasta, baking goods, candy, nuts etc there and have never noticed a problem. But they post the ingredients. I think it would depend on the...
