    I take Culturelle Digestive Health and it has helped me a lot. Thanks again for that recommendation, Irish Heart! Here's the website so you can check the ingredients: Open Original Shared Link

    Please note that you are replying to a 3-year old thread so ingredients may change from time to time. But the good news is that Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ Sauce is gluten-free. http://www.sweetbabyraysmeats.com/FAQ If someone is newly diagnosed, your tummy may be pretty wonky at first and you may even react to things that are gluten-free.

    I do store my knifes in a wooden block...it is the only place I have room for them. Dang, wish my kitchen was bigger but it was just fine when I built the house.

    I think your body has given you the answer that your testing is unable to. False negatives on testing are far too common. While the gene tests may be interesting, they are in no way diagnostic as many people have the so called "celiac genes" but never develop the disease. And based on what I've read here on the forum, there are probably other genes involved...

    If you are going to have an endoscopy, you need to stay on gluten until it's done. Otherwise you may come up with a negative biopsy. If you have had a positive celiac panel, there's no doubt in my mind that you have it. False negatives are fairly common but not false positives. When you see your doctor today, make sure you pick up a printed copy of...

    The Big D was my main symtom, too...many times a day (I'm shuddering to think back to those days two years ago). Hated to leave the house at times or I simply did not eat when I knew I had to go somewhere. False negatives are rather common on the celiac panel. Will your doctor be doing an endoscopy with biopsies? If so, you need to keep eating...

    I think a magnetic strip is a great idea and I have expensive knives, too. But when I built this house, I wanted tons of light in the kitchen so have under cabinet lights, recessed lights and lots of receptacles and light switches so I simply don't have any place to put one.

    I kept my knife block but then I've always washed my knives before they're put away. I tend to buy good kitchen things and also take good care of them. I did buy a new toaster (sad to donate one I really liked and they just don't make toasters like they used to), new cutting boards, new colanders, new wooden spoons, new whisks as mine needed to be replaced...

    It took me exactly one loaf of gluten-free yeast bread to know I needed a stand mixer...and I did buy a KitchenAid Artisan. I use it quite often and feel it was a good decision. I still use my handheld mixer for quick breads, etc. It all depends on what I'm making.

    Can you just buy a piece of good beef (a chuck roast or whatever) and grind it yourself? I would think for the quantity you would need for Sloppy Joes that you could even use a food processor if you don't have a meat grinder.

    Welcome to the forum, Amyy! Glad your cookies turned out so well! There are many ways to doctor up gluten-free cake mixes. You might want to check Open Original Shared Link and do a search for gluten-free. Also check Open Original Shared Link, which is another General Mills website. The Cake Mix Doctor Bakes Gluten-Free has recipes for variations...

    This subject has come up recently so you might want to check this thread: http://www.celiac.co...s-for-a-newbie/

    Simple...chili in my crockpot and corn muffins.

    Avalon, I just noticed the ages of your daughters...I'd say, get them involved in cooking and/or baking as girls that ages enjoy doing that. My 13-year old gluten-eating granddaughter just loves to make gluten-free pizza. And she's good at it. When she spends the night, she knows that we'll eat very, very well...all gluten-free, of course. Katrala...

    I think it will get a lot easier for you as it's all pretty overwhelming right away. A lot of the meals I make now are things I've eaten all my life...sometimes as is, sometimes with minor adjustments. Yes, baking is a whole new ballgame but that said, there's not a lot that can't be made gluten-free and be mighty tasty, too. So concentrate on those...

    I can't pinpoint it...I just did not care for it. I think texture may have had something to do with it. Of course, it's ages since I made it before so maybe my taste has changed. Perhaps I should try a different kind of flour (maybe Jules).
  17. sa1937
    Not exactly...I can do pretty well on pizza but the bread is still elusive. But I don't give up!!! It's still better than anything I can find around here. I don't have a cast iron skillet but I have on occasion put a pan of hot water in the oven when I bake bread. Doesn't thowing ice cubes in a hot cast iron skillet make it warp?

    It never entered my mind. LOL But after my neighbor across the street plowed my driveway this morning, my next door neighbor used his snowblower on my sidewalk. I am very grateful to live in a development with such kind neighbors.

    I'm not familiar with that brand but I understand Mission corn tortillas are made on dedicated lines and a lot of people swear by them.

    Heck, if I lived with love2travel, I'd just eat her wonderful gluten-free bread and give up trying for the elusive *perfect* loaf!

    Lorelei, based on your celiac panel, if it's positive, then you have it. I believe there are some people who have had a positive blood test and a negative biopsy and vice versa. False positives on the blood tests would be exceedingly rare, if at all, while false negatives are fairly common. My question would be how are you going to feel about not having...

    I for one will never buy a book by Elizabeth Hasselbeck. I'm not sure how important it is to buy a regular cookbook for gluten-free cooking as so many recipes in cookbooks you probably already own are either inherently gluten-free or can easily be made gluten-free. An exception, of course, would be baked goods. With the proliferation of gluten-free...

    How terrible! Have you ever given the chickies a bath?
  24. sa1937
    I will never give up. I will never give up. I will never give up. It's possible I may have to rearrange the freezer.

    Here is a list of Heinz products that are gluten-free. Open Original Shared Link Heinz is one of the companies that I trust. But if someone has a problem with one of their products, it could possibly be due to an ingredient their body does not like and may have nothing to do with gluten (although we do seem to blame gluten for everything). I've eaten...
