    There's no place to get gluten-free pizza where I live... in very rural northern Arkansas. I buy Namaste pizza crust mix and make about 5 crusts (it's supposed to make 2 large ones) and freeze them after baking. That way I can let one defrost, top it, and have my very own yummy pizza. White sauce, pepperoni, peppers, cheese, and chopped pineapple is my fave...

    How awfully frustrating to feel so crappy and have doctors ignore you or tell you it's in your head! My poor youngest daughter was diagnosed w/ celiac (I have it and middle daughter has it... oldest daughter was diagnosed last year), went gluten free... she was very well versed in the process having been around me for years... and proceeded to get worse...

    No more wheat, rye, barley, and sometimes oats was rough, but I've done it for 10 years. It's a no brainer. If I can't cook it myself, I don't eat it. It really wasn't that hard. Years later, it became pretty obvious that dairy doesn't like me much anymore. That's been MUCH harder. You can't recreate cheese and butter. I avoid it as much as possible, but...

    Friends are flying in from Philadelphia... a friend of theirs and his daughter are coming to spend a few days... and our neighbor will join us for dinner on Thursday. But then just found out that the friends from Philadelphia may have to postpone their trip, which will make the friend (whom we've met only once) make other plans I'm sure... so it may just...

    I like it much better than La Choy which I find very bitter.

    It was a WHAM moment for me. I had NO symptoms until I was 48 years old. Out of nowhere came unrelenting diarrhea and belly noises that I used to say sounded like wolverines trying to fight their way out of my gut.... no pain, just constant "runs." Two months later, I had a colonoscopy and blood work and my doc said to me, "I have good news and bad news....

    I was the first and only in my rather small extended family. My doc told me that celiac was common in Irish people... the whole family came from Ireland in the mid 1920s. Since then, all three of my daughters have been diagnosed, but none of my siblings have, altho I believe they could benefit from being on a gluten-free diet.

    By the time I got in touch w/ the hospital dietician (about a week after diagnosis) she told me I already knew way more than she did about celiac. That was 10 years ago. One can only hope they're more informed about celiac now!! I've had some bad experiences w/ Trader Joe's gluten-free stuff... be careful.

    I used to buy Shaklee's breakfast powder... similar to Instant Breakfast but w/o all the additives and crap. My kids loved it mixed with milk and it was a good quick breakfast on those crazy mornings. I bought it from a woman who actually had a Shaklee store. Sure, she tried to get me to be a distributor, but I knew the game and just kept telling her I wasn...

    I miss so much, but most are things I never ate in huge quantities anyhow. I think it's just that I can't have them anymore that makes me want them so badly. Subway (tuna hoagie... loved their bread) A Burger King bacon double cheeseburger McDonald's Big Mac and their Sausage Egg McMuffin REAL french bread REAL chocolate chip cookies made from the...

    I'd read about the great stuffing EnerG bread makes and bought a loaf of their tapioca bread last year. I cut it into cubes and set it on a sheet pan to get stale... and it smelled so strongly (and BAD), I ended up tossing it!! Is there another EnerG bread flavor that you use?

    I am SOOO sorry to hear about your health and travel woes. Did you get travel insurance? I'm beginning to think it's worth it to spend the extra $$ for things just like this! Feel better soon!!

    LOVE that stuff. Here's another yummy recipe. Lemon Meringue Martini Equal parts: Vodka 43 limoncello splash of pineapple juice Shake it up and pour. YUMMM!!!

    I have a problem with rice... any kind of rice... in that I can't control myself around it. Hot rice with butter and salt is like CRACK to me. I could eat it at every meal... it could BE every meal. I LOVE the perfume of jasmine rice. I LOVE making different kind of risotto. I LOVE sushi. I love plain old white rice and brown rice. I LOVE long grain and...

    New Cascadia bakery in Portland, OR ... the best cupcakes EVER. There's also a food cart w/ another location on the street called The Whole Bowl... YUM!!!

    I'm luvs2eat on a recipe board and peeps have asked the same question... and I always answer... "Um... Duh..."

    I use my Pampered Chef pizza stone all the time that's been used for gluten foods. I just put my pizza on a piece of parchment paper and still enjoy the crispness of the stone.

    I read a whole bunch of Oprah's book club books and liked every single one. Jodi Piccoult is an author I love. LOVE the Bronte sisters and any English fiction. Right now I'm reading Stranger in a Strange Land by Heinlein for the 3rd time.

    I've been using their pizza crust mix for more than a year w/ no problems at all. This last time, I made up the whole bag (rather than one crust at a time) and baked 5 smaller crusts... froze 4 and can't wait to try them!

    We go out to eat very rarely. We live so rurally that there's only a Chilis and, of course, all the fast food places. Even tho I know I can have some of their french fries and some stuff at Wendy's... I never do. The only thing I'll ALWAYS stop for is Chik Fil A fries... yum! We like to cook and don't miss eating out much. I feel fairly confident going...

    I completely understand your physical pain as well as emotional pain over losing Pooh. I had to put my big boy boxer Boozer down and everyone said, "Get another dog right away." I just couldn't do it. It took me two whole years to consider another dog and I got a pretty boxer girl, Peaches. As we were driving her home and she was crying in the little crate...

    I really like the idea of saying your doctor said... whatever... Telling them that you're fairly new to the diet/lifestyle and that your doctor strongly recommends not eating at other's homes for a (long) while is brilliant! I think telling the boss to make chicken parm like he always would and bringing your own gluten-free portion is a great idea too...

    I am so sorry. Losing a pet is no less sad than losing a family member, imo. They ARE our family. Count me too in the group who has appreciated your posts/advice/kind words.

    I only had one episode early on when a friend asked, sort of impatiently, "Can't you just eat a little??" I've never been the "Woe is me" person about it. I always enjoy what I can and never say a word about what's being offered that I can't have. I just said, "That's like me asking you if you can't just eat a little poison. Gluten is poison to me." This...
