    ARCHIVED Milk

    sa1937 replied to DianeMu's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    I eliminated cheese when I first went gluten-free, too...and oh, how I craved it. Much worse than eliminating anything with gluten. After about 9 months I started eating hard cheeses like cheddar and parmesan and eventually branched out to include mozzarella so yaaay! Now I can eat pizza again. I've been buying Lactaid milk although I don't use much as...

    How about a Flourless Chocolate Cake? My gluten-eating friends love it.

    Welcome, Day! Just keep reading the forum and you'll learn that we eat rather well. There's no reason you can't have pizza, burgers and chow mein...they just need to be gluten-free, which isn't as difficult as it sounds. Hopefully you cook as it'll make it a lot easier. That said, your first trips to the grocery store might take a lot longer than...

    And it is elusive! Since I live in a small town, I have no idea when it might be available around here. I'll have to ask my local health food store as last summer they started carrying Udi's and then later Rudi's. No Whole Foods or Wegman's around here...

    That's a trick question, Marc! I really don't think you can compare gluten-free breads to others. My loaves are not normally the size of gluteny bread. Obviously the French bread isn't...I gave you that link because it used such few special ingredients and IMHO at least, it tastes good and would be a good one to start with. But that doesn't mean you...

    It's been reviewed by celiac-disease.com Open Original Shared Link and Open Original Shared Link (marketed here by Glutino). When I run across it, I'll try a loaf to see if I like it.

    You're welcome, Marc. No, you're not driving me crazy...it takes a lot more than that! Gluten-free breads are usually more like a thick batter and not a dough that can be kneaded and shaped into a loaf. I use the flat paddle attachment, not a dough hook, with my mixer (it comes with it along with the whisk and dough hook). I've never used the dough...

    Where are you located? I don't think I've ever seen Nestle ketchup here in the U.S. Ingredients differ in various countries.

    ARCHIVED Diagnosed...now What?

    sa1937 replied to Bubba's Mom's topic in Doctors

    Whew! That is expensive. I'd definitely check Quaker rice cakes at Wal-Mart if you have one near you. Or even another local grocery store should have them for under $3.00. Just be aware that the small size ones may not have the gluten-free label.

    Hi Tim, if you've been gluten-free since March, it might be difficult for you to do a gluten challenge in the hope that you get accurate test results from a celiac panel. That amounts to eating the equivalent of 3 to 4 pieces of bread for 3 months...and even then you might come up negative on a test. Ouch! Since you are basically gluten-free, you might...

    ARCHIVED Diagnosed...now What?

    sa1937 replied to Bubba's Mom's topic in Doctors

    The large Quaker rice cakes are marked gluten-free right above the ingredient list (always check the label). I have the plain lightly salted ones that I enjoy with peanut butter on them. I think the last time I bought them at Wal-Mart, they were $2.00. Hopefully you don't have a problem with rice???

    I just pulled up your profile and here's your post: http://www.celiac.co...259#entry719259 If you go to your profile, click on "Find my content" and it'll show your posts.

    Strawberryshortcake, if you "love my friend to pieces" maybe you should sit down and talk with her if you haven't already. People react to their diagnosis in different ways. You just sound so angry. Or maybe it's just time to move on and either accept her or let the friendship go.
  14. sa1937
    I'm glad you checked it out, Marc. It's a significant amount of money to shell out and then discover you may not be happy with it. I've baked a few bricks that would be dangerous if I got really mad! I don't have any problem finding ingredients around here and this is Small Town, USA. The local grocery stores and my health food store carry Bob's...

    Welcome, Tim! So sorry you are having so many problems...a lot of us have been down that route. I don't know what the ratio is of men and women on this forum...maybe we women just express ourselves more freely and men tend to suck it up. I've never read any statistics that I can recall. Getting tested for celiac will not get you a pity party around...
  16. sa1937
    I've heard of people here who have quickly grabbed a loaf of Rudi's bread and inadvertently picked up one that was not gluten-free. I'm assuming they were in a hurry or perhaps didn't know you made both kinds. It's admirable that you are GFCO certified and test <10 ppm so that all but the most sensitive celiacs will be able to consume your gluten...
  17. sa1937
    Marc, you can browse through Annalise's bread book on Amazon and also read the reviews. I've never tried to calculate how much a loaf of homemade gluten-free bread costs. My cost would depend on whether I use a complete all-purpose gluten-free flour (Iike Jules Shepard's) or make up my own mix, which I'm sure I can mix up for less than $4.00 a lb., even...

    ARCHIVED Gastrisis

    sa1937 replied to kristen34's topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    I figured that's what you meant. I think I've read of people here who have been on omerprazole or other acid reducing meds and had too low stomach acid. Hopefully someone else will chime in who has had that problem.

    I tried corn on the cob twice this summer and it definitely did not like me nor did popcorn I tried a few days ago. I thought perhaps it was the amount of fiber but don't know. I don't think I have a problem with other corn products or corn starch, etc.
  20. sa1937
    Nothing is sacred, is it. I'd have never thunk of corn in vanilla flavoring.
  21. sa1937
    Kristen, you might want to use the google search button on the top right of your screen and search lunch ideas. I know there have been some recent threads about it. You're liable to pull up some ancient posts, too, so check the info to make sure items suggested are gluten-free if brands are mentioned.
  22. sa1937
    Pizza...it's been awhile since I made it. Hot here, too, but cool in the house with the A/C on.
  23. sa1937
    Natural vanilla flavor is processed with corn? That's puzzling to me. Where did you read that? What a bummer that you got sick from the Ben & Jerry's. Are you sure you can tolerate dairy? A lot of newly diagnosed celiacs have to avoid dairy products (specifically lactose) until they've healed.
  24. sa1937
    It didn't go through because you were posting the same thing in multiple forums such as this one: https://www.celiac.com/forums/topic/83525-did-you-do-the-12-wk-gluten-challenge/
  25. sa1937
    It's okay to whine and cry...this diet is a huge adjustment for lots of people and with your corn intolerance, it makes it so much worse. Now...on to the ice cream. I'm assuming you're in the U.S. I don't see any reason you can't have Breyers vanilla. Breyers is a Unilever company and they will not hide gluten in their products. I just checked...
