    Breakfast: Peanut butter apple with skim milk, egg muffins (toss chopped veggies/meat/cheese into a muffine tin and toppped with beaten eggs), PB & J Lara bar with skim milk, PB & J smoothie (frozen strawberries, banana, milk, peanut butter), and I always eat a banana (unless I have the smoothie) on my drive in to work before breakfast. Lunch...

    I've heard from several family members (not my hubby...go figure) that I've lost too much weight, I look sickly, tired, run-down, etc. I know I have lost weight, but nothing crazy. I eat normal - albeit healthy - peanut butter apple with skim mil for breakfast, leftovers for lunch (today it's a fiesta cabbage role), and baked ziti for dinner. I snack on almonds...

    This wrappers are absolute genious and I am making them this weekend...all of them...every single one you all have mentioned! PS: Best fruit dip ever - sour creme, powdered sugar, amaretto liqueur.

    It took me a while to figure it out too. I was so used to a little bloating here, a cramp there...that a slight discomfort seemed so normal I hardly would notice. However - I'm getting better about listening to my body. I was crazing yogurt and all I had was my husbands Activia vanilla...I read that it's processed in a facility that has wheat...ate it any...

    Everyone here has given great advice! I don't know that I can add much more - I think the snack idea is great and I really like Larabars. Well not all of them...but they have a PB&J one that i SWEAR tastes like eating a regular PB&J on white bread...SO GOOD! (especially since I can't find a Gluten-Free bread I like) They are also cheap here, just...

    Not really any advice but wanted you to know your not alone. I'm 24 and I told my doctor exactly what you said...I shouldn't be this tired, this worn down...this is the prime of my life and I can't even play a role in it. Since going gluten free I've felt much better, much more free to be involved in my own life. I am somewhat concerned about dairy...

    I tried using some of the organic brands and didn't like them - not crispy enough. So I tried corn chex (dont know why I didnt try rice chex...) and they are honestly better than my regular rice crispies! PS: I make them in the crockpot. Same ingred. just add the butter, top with marsh. and then add the cereal! Way easier, supper yummy!

    I read it has tortilla strips...I was wondering if they were corn or not?!?!
  9. JustLovely9216
    That is 100% correct. I went today for the first time since going without gluten and ordered that. I found it to be terrible. Absolutely gross. No sauce, and they couldn't add any more or it would "risk cc" I asked if they could just chop up a tomato and was told "no, they all are pre-chopped". I sent it back and walked right out. I am still angry....

    Agreed. But I didn't know that a few weeks ago All I knew was gluten seemed to be everywhere and I would never eat pizza or pasta again. I would have been thrilled if someone would have just told me that tinkyada pasta tasted, basically, the same as my old wheat pasta. And as I said...I kept wishing I could just see into someone's life who was already...

    Lol! Happy to! At Wendy's I get a baked potato and top it with a small order of the chilli. I also ALWAYS get a frosty:) At Fudruckers they were kind enough to clean the grill for me and also informed me they do have a dedicated fryer for the unseasoned fries that the onion rings don't touch. They served me a plain burger, with plain fries, and also...

    I am just thrilled that all of my quirky, annoying, little things I couldn't figure out before all make sense. The hair falling out and bruising due to vit. defic. and the stomach issues, anti-social stuff. And not to mention it is not very easy to enjoy time ALONE with your husband (get it ?) when your bloated, gassy, and angry all the dang time. I...

    When I first found out I had Celiac I kept wishing I could just peak into someone else

    I think you may just be overwhelmed and that your making things worse in your mind then they are in reality. I only say this because, being a newbie too, I just go over that stage myself. But I have found the reality to be much more accepting and filled with possibilities. Switching over to Gluten-Free cooking was not the disaster I thought it would be; other...

    I had a great experience at the IHOP in Centreville, VA. I called the day before to talk to the manager who said he would do his best to accomodate me. I found the manager before being seated and he sat me and my family and both he and the waiter came to the table. I ordered the veggie omletter with spniach and extra tomatoes and then explained that I would...

    Anyone else see this? Starbucks is now offering an entire Gluten-Free section of packaged goodies! They include KIND bars, lucy

    My FAVORITE breakfast (which I am enjoying right now!) is a PB&J smoothie. I always make two (one for me and one for DH) and I use about 1-2cups frozen strawberries, 2 banannas, 3-4T of chunky peanut butter, and as much skim milk as needed to blend (I used rice milk when I was a vegan and it works perfectly). Super fast, super yummy, and I can take...

    Just my random ideas of what I do that makes me feel better: Ginger tea and yogurt to aid with digestion. Exercise to release toxins and aid in digestions. Warm bath with Epsom salt toxins. Don't know why, but they do help me!

    I def. hear what everyone is saying! I would LOVE to have a diagnosis for my peace of mind...so I had it right there in black & white that I'm not crazy!! I suppose my hope is that in going Gluten-Free and taking supplements now and eating a mainly whole-foods based diet I will be able to heal myself. I will still do my yearly blood tests and see...
  20. JustLovely9216
    At this point, I am self diagnosed. I feel a million times better without gluten in my diet and when I make a mistake...a pay for it. I know I am either Celiac or gluten intolerant. As all of us know in order for me to get more testing I would need to go back on a gluten diet...I don't think so!!! So I am wondering...do any negative side effects exist...

    TOday was the first time I did this and I am SUPER proud of myself! We order food from Angel Food Ministries (check them out! www.angelfoodministries.com)where we get about $60 worth of groceries for $30! We don't do it every month- only the months where we like the menu's. THey actually offer a Gluten-Free special with a huge variety of Gluten-Free breaded...

    I am so freakin' happy it's almost pathetic! I made the Whole Foods 365 brand gluten free choc. chip. cookies and they taste PERFECT. They actually taste like making the gluten form from scratch with the nestle bag of chips! I will say to be sure and chill the dough for the "thicker" cookies as they spread out and my first batch was a ton of thin, flat, stuck...
