    My celiac panel was sent to Quest Diagnostics...no problem.

    Have you tried Open Original Shared Link? It works well for pancakes, waffles, muffins and other quick breads. One of my favorite products.

    I have no idea unless your allergist thinks it's going to take 6 to 8 weeks for you to learn the ins and outs of eating gluten-free ??? I started reading labels as soon as I had a positive celiac panel so as to not buy things I knew I would not be able to eat. I cleaned out my pantry the first week after my endoscopy and got rid or or donated foods I could...

    I see a gastroenterologist and was diagnosed following a positive celiac panel and then an endoscopy/biopsy but I've never had chronic pain. What kind of doctors are you seeing now? I never did see a nutritionist or dietitian but I have more than a few years of cooking under my belt and just didn't see the need for me personally.

    You might want to think of very simple meals like meat or fish, potato, veggie and salad, for example. No recipes required. I know you are also concerned about the cost of gluten-free foods. Use the Google search button at the top of your screen and put in words like budget meals, cheap meals, etc. A lot of topics will come up. Also check out the recipe...

    You don't necessarily have to give up cereal for breakfast. General Mills has a number of Chex cereals that are gluten-free (obviously not Wheat Chex) and Kelloggs has come out with gluten-free Rice Krispies (the box is clearly marked gluten-free). They're available is most supermarkets as well as Wal-Mart. I gave up dairy products for awhile when I...

    Welcome, Robby! I don't have Sprouts, Trader Joe's, Whole Foods or any of those type of stores where I live. I just shop at regular supermarkets. Any time you start buying prepackaged gluten-free foods, you will find they are expensive and some aren't even very good. Your best best is to stick to whole foods...things that you can find at any supermarket...

    I'm afraid I'm no help either. My daughter and I both have celiac and both of us are RH negative. Neither of us have DH.

    I'll have you know that my food is "special" because I have to cook every damn bite of it! Hahaha If I had a family at home, you can bet your sweet bippy that every meal would be gluten-free or they'd think I had PMS 365 days a year.

    Gemini and IH...who ever thought we could get such a thrill from owning that loaf pan!!! I think I need to add some more USA pans to my wish list. I also have the 8-1/2" x 4-1/2" for smaller loaves.

    Welcome to the forum, Sprinkle! For clarification glutinous rice and glutinous rice flour are allowed on a gluten-free diet. It's just another name for sweet rice. Here's a link for Safe Foods you might like to check out.

    Well, that's true...it does keep me off the streets! And gives me something to do, too, instead of cleaning my house!!! I have copious notes on many breads I've baked...but am still searching for that *perfect* elusive loaf.
  13. sa1937
    Hahaha Ummm...I don't think so, Lisa!
  14. sa1937
    Glad you're keeping track of the number of loaves I've baked 'cuz I lost count a year or more ago. I think *delusional* is a good word!!! I just can't help myself!!! And thanks to you I finally dragged out that Bette Hagman cookbook that I've had for well over a year and never touched. The bread has to be put sideways into my toaster!!!
  15. sa1937
    So, IH....how many loaves have I made in the past 2-1/2 years? Way too many to count but I have not bought a loaf since before Christmas when I had too much to do to even think of baking. Some successes, some failures and more bricks than I care to admit. But I will not give up. So I'll post a pic of my latest success. This is Bette Hagman's Four...

    I used teff flour without a problem and don't know why Dr. Kalish would include it on a list to avoid. All grains have gluten but not the kind of gluten we have to avoid as in wheat, barley or rye. Teff is gluten-free. Check this list of Safe Gluten-Free Foods I see that he also has dairy products listed as being unsafe. Unless you have a lactose...

    Welcome, Renee! A lot of us have been in your shoes as we try to figure out what to eat on a gluten-free diet. Once we get used to it, we find it gets easier and we can eat very well. You might find it helpful to check out these topics: Newbie Info 101 And What's For Breakfast Also check out the Recipes - Baking & Cooking Tips section...

    Open Original Shared Link (Oct/Nov 2012 issue) had some salads featured, which I found interesting. All start with 12 cups of greens; toss with 2/3 c. bottled dressing...am sure the quantities could be adjusted to suit your needs. Beets & Greens Spring Greens, 3 roasted and sliced beets, goat cheese, pumpkin seeds and champagne vinaigrette Apple...

    I would ask for a copy of the biopsy results from 2009, which he should have in your file. At least then you can see exactly what the report said.
  20. sa1937
    Probably not. Many times damage is only visible upon examination under a microscope by a pathologist. In my own case my GI told me that I had gastritis and duodenitis (inflammation) that was visible on the photos. When you have your follow-up appointment, make sure you pick up an actual copy of the pathology report.

    Enterolab is a topic that has come up a number of times on this forum so while waiting for others to respond, you might want to use the google search button on the top right hand corner of your screen and see what others have already discussed. Hope this helps!

    Welcome to the forum! While I never bought a gluten-free shopping guide, I see nothing wrong with using one as long as you also read ingredient labels. It's impossible to publish a guide and expect it to be accurate all the time as manufacturers do change ingredients occasionally and it would be impossible to keep anything like that up-to-date. Here...

    Welcome to the forum, Ali! Bob's Red Mill also has rolled oats with a Gluten-Free label on them so be sure to look for that kind. Not knowing how long you've been gluten-free, it is suggested that you not eat oats when you are newly diagnosed as a small percentage of celiacs do have an intolerance to oat products even if they are marked gluten-free...

    I have a hand-held can opener and just scrubbed it good using a new toothbrush.

    Welcome to the forum, Kellie! While I have been experimenting with lots of from-scratch recipes, you might want to first try a mix. Gluten-Free Pantry makes a French Bread Mix that makes pretty darn good pizza (recipe is on the package). You can get a couple of large pizza crusts from one package. Price is reasonable, too, considering that prepared pizza...
