    Have you tried plain rice? Just a few bites of plain rice cooked with water -no oil, no veggies, no chicken. That would tell you if rice is the ingredient of concern.

    If you know anyone with a Costco membership - I have found almond butter there in a bigger jar for the cost of a jar half that size. Also, a crockpot is about $17-20 at Walmart or Target. And I got my son a good microwave for about $60 at Walmart. So, something to save up for or ask for for Christmas? These 2 items would open up a whole lot of super...

    Tinkyada pasta is just rice - does she have an issue with plain rice, too? If not, maybe its what you put on the pasta?

    I am not familiar with these meds so I don't know if just stopping them is a good idea or not. I hope you are discussing this with your doctor? When you are, maybe you could get a prescription to take to a compounding pharmacy? Maybe they can make these meds for you with out the cellulose you think you are reacting to?

    What about things like fruit that doesn't need much prep? - apples, oranges, bananas, grapes, melons, etc? Veggies that are easy to use & eat raw like tomatoes, carrot sticks, celery, brocoli, etc? Dip in a bottled salad dressing. Potatoes & sweet potatoes just need to go in the oven for 45 minutes to eat. Throw some pieces of raw or cooked chicken...

    You can use dry beans or canned. Some people refer to "beans" and mean things like BBQ beans or ham and beans. Just read the label. In the US, wheat will be clearly labelled. Gluten is in wheat, rye and barley. You might want to read the Newbie post https://www.celiac.com/forums/topic/91878-newbie-info-101/#entry913144

    Do you mean Celiac Sprue? That is the same as Celiac Disease. Sort of an old fashioned name for it. Plain beans are gluten free. If you get canned, just read the ingredients to make sure they aren't flavored and thickened with wheat. Not sure there are any that are, but I don't eat the "flavored" kinds.

    Shared facilities is different than a shared manufacturing line or equipment. Unless it's a completely gluten-free restauraunt - a restaurant is a sacred facility. A grocery is a shared facility.

    This is a better book. Yes... it costs money but it explains what makes a recipe work and is made for people who follow a "real" gluten-free diet. You can get it at your library first. Open Original Shared Link

    Will there be cupcakes? Then I think each one should be celebrated.

    It looks like it is meant for weight loss/fad dieters - not Celiacs. So they may use barley or ingredients that aren't really gluten-free.

    No. Even if it isn't frozen, it was shipped that way and thawed. Sacramento has a bakery I think? Maybe they supply groceries? Sometimes, a bakery will sell in a grocery once a week.

    What part of California? I think you will need to find a gluten-free bakery for fresh bread. In the San Fransico area there is a good one - Mariposa. Might be others but that is the only one I know of. I think there is one in the Santa Cruz area, too. Google "gluten free and the city name". Open Original Shared Link

    We seem to be cooking on a similar theme - I has beef stew in the crockpot! Soooooo yummy and easy. I got home and the dog and cat greeted me and then ran to the crockpot! Poor things..... Had to smell it cooking all afternoon.

    That is what the U of C recommends: Open Original Shared Link A gluten challenge is the period of time when gluten is added back into a person’s diet to assist in the diagnosis of celiac disease. Antibodies take time to build into the blood stream before they can be detected through blood analysis. For a gluten challenge we recommend eating 1/...

    Just an FYI - the original info was 5 years old. So .... Ingredients, procedures, etc change in that time frame.

    In the US, it has to say wheat somewhere on the ingredients part of the label. So if it lists wheat as an ingredient or says " may contain wheat" or " contains wheat" - throw those out for sure! I usually don't use " manufactured on the same equipment" either. Same facility..... I'm OK with, especially if it says gluten-free.

    When you are sick, you just want your comfort foods. My hub's just likes chicken broth with noodles (gluten-free or not). I like chicken and rice or homemade applesauce or Rice Chex. Kids like gatorade, Sunny D, jello, jarred applesauce and Saltines. My Dad likes beef and egg noodles and has found a grocery store that makes them just how he likes. ...

    I'm going in.... and hope I don't offend anyone. I am assuming you are a guy based on the name. If what you mean is that you never got "turned on" by girls - so you assumed you were gay and never really got into guys, either.... than maybe it is a return of libido? I don't think there are any studies in the Celiac world - at least none I have heard...

    We are commenting & laughing at our own cooking experiences and offering suggestions. I don't seeing anyone being unsupportive, rude or discouraging of this young lady learning to cook. The noodles you suggested looked good but it looks like you have to plan ahead and order them. I was thinking of doing that based on your recommendation. Waiting...

    We forgot to tell you - the noodles will continue to soak up the broth and get big and yummy. With space an issue - maybe you should think about a Dutch oven style pot or a big pot with no plastic on the lid or handles - can do double duty by using on the stove top or in the oven. Some examples. I got a very nice dutch oven like the one pictured for cheaper...

    Gluten or gluten-free pasta - they all swell up a bit. My family would prefer the first "soup" - they don't like a lot of broth. Crockpots are great for soups and you can get a nice big one for less than $40 or a smaller - 4 qt for $20. Lots cheaper than pressure cookers or large pans. Or ask for a large one for Christmas?
