    Connie, what a scary situation you went through and I'm glad it turned out well. General Mills now has Nature Valley Almond Crunch bars if you can eat nuts (box is marked gluten free). They contain roasted almonds, peanuts and sunflower seeds and have 6 gams of protein per bar. Very yummy. I picked up a box at my local Wal-Mart last week for $2.68 ...

    My daughter lives in Denver and always asks for and gets a copy of her lab test results. You are entitled to them. Here in Pennsylvania, I have a copy of the results of a lot of lab tests, my full celiac panel blood work, a copy of the pathology report on my EGD and just last week picked up a copy of the results on my abdominal CT scan. I asked for them...

    I just pulled up this website: Open Original Shared Link soup: page 336 (product alert added 4/26/10) LIPTON - CLARIFICATION: Kosher Recipe Secrets Onion Soup & Dip Mix is NOT gluten-free Regular Recipe Secrets Onion Soup & Dip Mix is gluten-free Looks like the regular Lipton dry Onion Soup is still gluten free.

    Kinnikinnick English muffins are really good. I've never had the Food for Life ones.

    ARCHIVED Neuro Symptoms

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

    Thanks, Kayo! I'm hoping it works that well for me. I've only been gluten free since April 9. Since it's summery now with higher humidity, I don't seem to have too much of a problem with eye irritation. I occasionally use artificial tears. My next follow-up appt. is the end of July so I'll find out how my eyes are doing then. I'll definitely be getting...

    ARCHIVED Neuro Symptoms

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

    Connie, they were probably testing you for Sjogren's syndrome. I asked my eye dr. about that but she said I would also have an extremely dry mouth (I don't)

    ARCHIVED Neuro Symptoms

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

    Interesting info about dry eyes and how they *may* get better with a gluten free diet. I was officially diagnosed with a EGD/biopsy on April 9 following a positive celiac blood panel in Dec. I went gluten free on April 9. I do have severely dry eyes. I've had them before but nothing like what I went through this winter. The pressure in my eyes...

    You might want to check this helpful website to see if your meds are listed. Open Original Shared Link My pharmacist actually printed out a list of ingredients in my meds I take so I could check them.

    I planned to pick up some other milk to try yesterday (almond or rice) but was stumped as to what to buy. But I was in Wal-Mart and just wanted to get the hell out of there! lol Will look further at a regular grocery store. I did, however, find gluten free Asian Helper (Chicken Fried Rice) for $1.50 and General Mills gluten free Nature Valley Almond...

    I recently bought Lactaid milk as I suspect I'm also lactose intolerant after going gluten free on April 9. The carton says it's 100% lactose free. It tastes the same as regular milk, at least to me. I wasn't aware of having any problems with milk prior to going gluten free. I also picked up Lactaid tablets, but they sure didn't do a thing for me...

    Lots of licorice contains wheat. Lots of ingredients in a lot of products make no sense (like wheat in chicken and beef broth, for example). That's why we have to major in "Label Reading 101"
  13. sa1937
    I also do fine with Frito-Lay products...not everyone does (potato chips, Fritos, Cheetos, etc. Again read the labels as not all flavors are gluten free. Stax chips are marked gluten free (do not buy Pringles are they are not gluten free).

    There are so many things she can have, some of which she probably already eats. Here are just a few to get you started: General Mills has lots of recipes on this website to make your own treats: Open Original Shared Link

    I'm so sorry you got glutened from the barley. It is difficult to get started with a gluten free diet and kitchen. With an abundance of caution I've gotten rid of a lot of kitchen things (a friend thinks I'm suffering from total OCD regarding this whole cross contamination idea). I know she just doesn't "get it". Certain items are so inexpensive...

    Here's my recipe...as I said, there's probably not an authentic Indian thing about it. I've never heard of nor have I seen shrimp paste before. Shrimp Curry (or Chicken Curry) 3 tbsp butter 1/4 cup minced onion 1-1/2 tsp curry powder (I use McCormick's) 3 tbsp flour (I now need to try a good gluten free flour blend) 1/2 tsp salt 3/4 tsp sugar...

    I felt the same way, incredibly well without symptoms (the Big D) within a few days of going totally gluten free following an EGD on April 9, which turned out to be positive for celiac. It almost seemed like it was too good to be true to see such positive effects so quickly. Then WHAM, symptoms started coming back and I still experiencing them even though...

    I think you're all on to something so thank you! I just found this recipe for Thick, Rich Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free Roux/White Sauce: Open Original Shared Link It uses a combination of rice flour, garbanzo bean flour and potato starch. If it works, it could be made up in small batches and used for curry sauce. I do have glutinous rice (sweet rice) flour...

    Allison, I have chick pea (i.e. garbanzo bean) flour and didn't even think of it. Do you think it would make it taste "beany"? And would I use the same amount of it as regular ol' wheat flour?

    I have an old recipe for Shrimp Curry that calls for making a roux using butter, onion, curry powder and flour. I'm puzzled as to which type of flour would work best. I've pretty much eliminated consideration of corn starch, tapioca flour and anything that would make this a clear sauce and I question whether an all-purpose gluten free flour would work well...

    Connie, I don't have a problem eating Tostitos, Lay's regular potato chips, Fritos, Cheetos, etc. (I'm talking about the plain ones as I'm sure that not all varieties have gluten free ingredients...I always check the label before buying). So maybe I'm not that sensitive. Hopefully you'll be fine, too!!!

    Roda, do these biscuits freeze well? Yeah, I can see myself just sitting down and pigging out! I think they's also be good topped with creamed chipped beef. Now I'm hungry!!!

    I did a search and came up with this recipe for Gluten Free Buttermilk Biscuits from The Gluten Free Kitchen but following Cooks Illustrated's method of preparation. Is this the same one? Open Original Shared Link

    Thanks, WheatChef! Yes, I do have celiac diagnosed via a positive celiac panel as well as biopsy. The inflammation does show up on the photos I was given after my EGD. He said on Mon. that he wasn't terribly concerned about the gastritis or duodenitis. Maybe he's just being very thorough, which is not necessarily a bad thing. Guess I'll be checked from...

    Egads, I'm scheduled for a CT scan on Weds. and I really don't know why. My appt. with my GI doc on Mon. was all of 10 min. (He had been out of town for a family emergency for 3 weeks so am sure he got behind). Anyway, it's called a CT Enterogram. I know the scope can only go a short distance into the duodenum so I would think the CT scan will probably...
