    I had my blood drawn at my local hospital and it was sent to Quest for analysis (this was for the older celiac panel). Of course, I knew nothing of these tests then and I question whether I would have had a choice of labs. On the other hand, my daughter lives in Denver, CO, and went to LabCorp for her test as that's where she goes for other lab work...

    OK...fezz up! lol A great always-turns-out bread recipe is the one I keep searching for...and the one thing most often that I try new recipes!!! That does not mean I haven't made some perfectly edible breads as I have and some I want to go back and make again. YES, a celiac.com recipe booklet sounds great!

    Lots of recipes here and on blogs, as well as manufacturer's websites. I especially like Pamela's Baking & Pancake Mix and have made a few things using it. They always turn out. I made corn muffins using it the other night...yummy! Gluten-free baking is tricky and you'll also need xanthan gum (I use it more than guar gum) to try to replicate the...

    Good question. I've picked up a few but am too new yet to say I have one to die for. But I keep trying new recipes, especially for baking. Sheesh, I've been cooking forever so that's not the problem but baking is. Let us know what you buy. I think I'd like the new Betty Crocker one...magazine-like...that's supposedly in the racks at the front of the...

    So do I! I've printed off so many recipes that I need to start my own cookbook. Well, I've sorta done that already in a 3-ring notebook...only problem, nothing is organized. I even bought write-on dividers. So that's a good project for the dead of winter. (I may have to buy a larger notebook though). But I'm still prone to pick up another new cookbook...

    Out of curiosity I just browsed through this Gluten Free Every Day Cookbook on Amazon. My greatest challenge is baking, not cooking, so I'm probably not inclined to buy it. I am curious to see what others have to say about it though. I keep adding things to my wish list all the time, especially based on other's recommendations. Ya, just what I need.....

    I made corn muffins tonight using this recipe and the baking and pancake mix and they were good!

    His advice does not sound good to me. If the blood tests were positive and the biopsy is negative, especially with her positive response to the gluten-free diet, I think you already have your answer.

    I'm almost at the 9-month mark since my EGD/biopsy and still have some issues. My GI has not suggested refractory. I've only eaten out once (not a good experience) and even canceled a much-hoped for vacation as I felt uncomfortable to even think of traveling. This disease 'tis a puzzle.

    Somehow a glass (or more) of wine with pancakes just doesn't sound very good. lol
  11. sa1937
    Just curious...do they really consider celiac as refractory if you've only been gluten-free four months? Or how do they reach the conclusion that it's refractory?
  12. sa1937
    Not a bad price! I'll have to look for it and hopefully have a chance to glance through it before buying, if I figure it's worth it.

    Have you tried any of the gluten-free beers? Personally I don't like beer so that's not an issue for me.

    I do not like tequila...but white wine (specifically Chardonnay) is my friend (in moderation, of course).
  15. sa1937
    I totally agree with this!!!

    I doubt you can "kill" gluten with any cleaner (unless you count heat of a gas grill or putting cast iron in a self-cleaning oven and burning it off) but I think you could get countertops clean with a number of different products. I've used 409, scrubbie-bubbles bath cleaner, etc. On my hard-anodized Calphalon cookware I use Comet Cleanser...that would...

    How much does this new cookbook cost? I think that will be a determining factor if I will buy it...as if I need yet another gluten-free cookbook (and I hate to admit that I do have some on my wish list at Amazon).
  18. sa1937
    Obviously if you've gotten sick from them, it's important for you to avoid them. I think it's impossible for any company to come up with a gluten-free mix or product that doesn't have an ingredient or two in it that someone will react to. I am very happy that a mainstream company like General Mills has jumped on the gluten-free bandwagon as it means I...

    With a review like this, I decided to check it out and add it to my wish list...only to discover it's already there! And I got an Amazon gift card for Christmas!
  20. sa1937
    I had crap for lunch (will those Christmas leftovers ever end?) so I had a pork chop, nuked sweet potato and spinach for dinner.

    Yes, I'm familiar with Sam Mills Pasta D'oro...and it's good! I'm able to get it here for $1.98 for 16 oz., which is a much better price than any other pastas I've seen. Do you have a Wal-Mart near you? Ours now carry Heartland Pasta (also good) for $1.98 for 12 oz. and comes in three different shapes, including spaghetti.

    sa1937 replied to twe0708's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    I use Natural Choice (Nutro Lite Lamb & Rice), which I've used for years as my dog was getting chronic ear infections from beef. The only grain is rice so that's one thing I didn't have to concern myself with when I became gluten-free.

    Personally I'd just give the countertops a good scrubbing but then I never prepare foods directly on the countertop. I did buy new cutting boards and always use them. Thankfully they are inexpensive so you could buy a couple of different sizes (plus they can go in the dishwasher...providing they are not made of wood).

    I suspect it has a lot to do with the size of the city...small town, USA just doesn't have the options of a large city like Denver (yeah, I'm jealous that my daughter lives there and has so many options ). lol ETA: And she can buy Udi's bread FRESH, not frozen!!!

    Using chicken breast tenders is taking the easy way out! So much easier than dealing with chicken breasts.
