    This is so good to know! My daughter told me that Stapleton is just a stone's throw from where they live. Hopefully I'll be able to get to Denver this summer...but first I need to get to the point where I don't need to be three seconds away from a bathroom!!! Do you have any other good recommendations for gluten free dining in Denver? How fortunate...

    I'm glad to hear good feedback on Elizabeth Barbone's Easy Gluten-Free Baking. I picked up this book on a whim as I needed to add something to my order to get free shipping. She has a whole section at the end entitled "Tastes Like" that includes some very popular items like graham crackers, ginger snaps, Thin Mint GS Cookies, Oreos, Twinkies, vanilla...

    Thanks for your replies! I have to say that I'm not normally into attending these party plans with their assortments of grossly overpriced items. I haven't yet made a decision if I'll attend as I canceled a dental appt. today because I felt like crap (literally!) Once I go gluten free, I'm sure I'll be cooking pretty simple things and shopping the outer...

    I've been invited to a Tastefully Simple party Fri. evening at one of my neighbors. Do you know if they have any products that are gluten free? This is from their website: Q. Do Tastefully Simple products contain gluten? A. A number of Tastefully Simple products contain gluten. The best source of ingredient information is always the product label...

    kareng, I bought new pots and pans today, too! I have a very good (read: expensive) set of Calphalon, but I wanted to get some new nonstick. They didn't cost me an arm and a leg as I don't believe investing that much on nonstick as it seems I've bought quite a bit of it over the years only to have it get scratched, etc. I've also gotten some new small...

    Herb-Ox Beef Instant Bouillon is Gluten Free and no MSG added. I've bought both at my local Wal-Mart. I prefer the instant bouillon over the cubes.

    Thanks, buffettbride! My daughter is well familiar with Denver so I know we won't have any trouble finding it.

    I'm hoping to get to Denver this summer and anticipate going gluten free after my endo/biopsy on April 9. What Udi's location did you go to? My daughter and family live near City Park.

    When I was in Wal-Mart yesterday, I saw Easy-Off Grill Cleaner (not to be used on exterior, interior or components). It's made specifically for the grill rack thingies (it's located by the oven cleaners in the store I was in)
  10. sa1937
    Not knowing what your actual grill part is made from, is it possible to use oven cleaner on it? I'd check the manual that came with it just to make sure you don't ruin it...or it is possible to buy a replacement part for it so you can still use it?

    Thanks for the good wishes! I had my blood test in Dec., follow-up in Jan., saw a GI doc in Feb. and am now just playing the waiting game and eating like a gluten-crazed woman. The bathroom is becoming my most used room in the house this weekend. I so want that endo/biopsy to be revealing. The GI doc feels sure I have Celiac. I did ask him if he had...

    This is so helpful! I spent quite some time reading about technical help the other night. It makes it so much easier to know those little red arrows take me directly to the last unread post. Also to "View New Content". Thanks!

    I have access to two local WalMart Supercenters. Neither one has a section devoted to gluten free foods. Bah humbug!!!

    I've recently bought both Herb-Ox chicken and beef instant bouillon (not cubes) at my local WalMart Supercenter. Both jars say "Gluten Free" and "No MSG Added" on the front of the label. Since it's made by Hormel, they're one of the companies that are good about labeling their products.

    Does security hassle you about bringing foods on board? I know they've gotten very strict since I've last flown and I really want to go to Denver this summer to see my daughter and family. After driving to the airport (over 1-1/2 hours) and a 3+ hour flight, I don't want to starve.

    While I'm not yet "officially" diagnosed after having high readings on my Celiac Panel (awaiting endo/biopsy on April 9), I am going to purchase new wooden spoons, cutting boards (both wooden and acrylic), rubber scrapers, Tupperware mixing bowls, Tupperware colander and anything else that might possibly harbor hidden gluten. I'm definitely going to replace...

    (cont'd) had an oops... The new ELISA test looks for these specific antibodies to deamidated gliadin. The DGP test is a significant and valuable new addition to the celiac panel. Many labs have changed over to it. It is also being studied to replace AGA antibody testing in young children who may not yet have developed tTG antibodies.

    I just received Dr. Green's new (revised) book today. This is what he says: Deamidated Gliadin Peptides (DGP) Patients with celiac disease create antibodies to gliadin, but these antibodies can also be found in other conditions and in normal people. It is known that tTG deamidates, that is , it acts on and enhances the gliadin peptide in patients...

    Stir-fries...how could I forget! A little meat goes a long ways when combined with lots of veggies.
  20. sa1937
    Just a few ideas... Ground turkey is inexpensive compared to beef. While I'm not fond of it as is, it's great to use in pasta sauce or chili (something with herbs/spices). Turkey breakfast or "Italian" sausage is good and is so lean compared to a lot of ground beef. Vegetarian chili is inexpensive and also very nutritional. Serve over brown rice...

    While I have not yet been officially diagnosed (endoscopy/biopsy scheduled for April 9), I have already tried the Creamy Mushroom and Split Pea w/Ham, both of which say gluten free on the label. The Creamy Mushroom is part of the Vegetable Classics line and is so yummy. I've gotten it on special occcasionally at 10/$10 at a local grocery store. While...

    I think sauerkraut is a probiotic as is yogurt (personally I dislike yogurt but love sauerkraut)

    I had an appointment with my gastroenterologist yesterday and was so pleased. He's just the nicest doctor! I didn't realize that my family physician had ordered the comprehensive panel and picked up a copy of it. Since I am still consuming gluten, I now need to schedule the endoscopy/biopsy. He feels sure I have celiac. I asked a zillion questions and...

    Tigercat, I don't normally buy instant mashed potatoes but did so shortly before Christmas to make a dry instant potato soup mix (it was 'so so') and don't know if I'll ever make it again. But I did find gluten free instant mashed potatoes at Wal-Mart. Great Value brand. On the back of the box it is marked gluten free. I'd love to have your recipe...

    Thanks, Gemini! I have gained so much from reading this forum for a few weeks while waiting my appt. with the gastro on Thurs. this week. I think I have a slight edge as my doctor's daughter has celiac disease so he's far more familiar with it on a personal level than the average physician.
