				ARCHIVED Does Bacon Have Gluten?
kareng replied to Myooshka's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
I have tried to explain that the US has a law, that if there is wheat in a a food, it must say "wheat". Therefore, an app that says a product has wheat and it is not listed on the ingredients, is wrong. Or you are saying that the company is willfully disobeying the law? And you seem to say that if this ap says it's gluten-free but the ingredients list... - 
	
	
				ARCHIVED Does Bacon Have Gluten?
kareng replied to Myooshka's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
I don't know how this " ap" decides what is gluten-free and what is not. Apparently it is wrong if it says there is wheat in a product that doesn't list wheat in the ingredients. It may just be reporting that some companies, who do not test for gluten, will not declare something gluten-free. That does not mean a product has gluten. The most accurate... -

What do you mean " scanned"? If it has wheat, legally they must disclose that in the US and Canada on the package, in English writing, that anyone can read. -

				ARCHIVED How Many People Self-Diagnose?
kareng replied to JenniBea's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
One reason for an " official" diagnosis would be for your kids. If you are diagnosed with Celiac, they should blood test your kids every two or three years. Also, if the kids have symptoms, they are more likely to think of Celiac. This might spare them several years of suffering and not growing, etc. Otherwise, you don't really need a diagnosis to eat... - 
	
	
				ARCHIVED Favorite Fruit Smoothie Recipes?
kareng replied to Ninja's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
My old blender did that. I let the strawberries sit out of the freezer and start to thaw and that seemed to help. I freeze bananas when they start to get mushy. I break them into pieces to freeze. They mix better in pieces ( when they are frozen). Also, make sure you add some liquid, that helps. I make a big batch & freeze it in portions in... -

				ARCHIVED Need Low Fat Snack Idea's
kareng replied to Mizzo's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
We do love our snacks! She was asking for low fat ideas! I looked at the Welches fruit snacks 80 calories. All the Betty Crocker ones are gluten-free and say so on the box. Similar calories, I would guess. I thought of some more: A Baggie of Cinnamon or Chocolate Chex? Cheese stix? They have individually wrapped lower fat cheddar ones... - 
	
	
				ARCHIVED Need Low Fat Snack Idea's
kareng replied to Mizzo's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
How about fruit snacks? We like Welches. I thinks it's 80-100 calories a pack. " tangy" is the favorite flavor. Says gluten-free on the bag. I have seen small snack bags of Kettlecorn at target here in KC. You can eat a lot of Jelly Bellys jelly beans for 100 calories. These are not super healthy choices,, but If you want a snack that looks like everyone... - 
	
	
				ARCHIVED On Going Problems Celiac Related?
kareng replied to SivaK's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I would use gloves for dyeing. My stylist does and she doesn't have any problems with the ingredients. Your " numbers" for Celiac are normal? Then this may have nothing to do with Celiac. Your red and white cell counts go low with activity? My thoughts are that this is not Celiac related and you might need to see a " blood" doctor ( hematologist)... - 
	
	
				ARCHIVED gluten-free Copycat Olga Bread
kareng replied to andi1235's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
This sounds very interesting. Can you roll it around fillings? Or split it open like a pita? Or just use one on top & one on bottom. I'm also thinking about adding herbs or maybe cinnamon and sprinkling with sugar at the end? Do you think any of that would be good? Also, about how many frying pan sized breads did you get? - 
	
	
				ARCHIVED Gastroenterologist Said Something Confusing Yesterday..
kareng replied to amberlink09's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
" gastroenterologist said something confusing". This is a class they take in Med School. He should look at the small intestine while he's got you cleaned out and knocked out. Take at least 6-8 biopsies while he's there. I think he should look at the other end, too. Check out #8. & copy for doc. You can find similar info on Univ of Chicago... - 
	But this place can be a revolving door. Maybe some who didn't post preciously would like to add on? I saw something that said that the biggest group of Celiacs are from North African descent. It was a reputable source but, I can't find it again! Not sure even what they were counting as N. African descent.

				ARCHIVED Degrees Of Celiac?
kareng replied to nst's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
No. there are no "degrees" of Celiac that allow you to eat gluten. From some of the experts: "The gluten-free diet is a lifetime requirement. Eating any gluten, no matter how small an amount, can damage your intestine. This is true for anyone with the disease, including people who do not have noticeable symptoms."

Probably not dry wallers leaving thier lunch in the walls then. If they are too fast for you to swat, hit them with a spritz of hair spray. ( gluten-free of course). Good fun as it sticks thier wings. We have animals going wild here, too. We had 3 crows attacking our yard bunny. The bunny was standing on her back legs swing her front legs at the crows... -

	You can totally enclose them in foil but they taste better with some BBQ sauce in the packet. See foil dinner suggestions in my link. Also, what Doug said. You can also get a piece of metal to cook fish on that sits on the grill. That might work, too.
