    I CRAVE CHEESE. Trying to go dairy free has been WAY harder for me than going gluten free. There are so many breads in the world... I've embraced gluten-free bread and learned to really rejoice in the rare gluten-free bagel, but cheese? There is NO substitute for cheese... period. Sorry, didn't mean to hijack, but I often have cheese on the brain!!

    I hear ya on that one!! I rarely eat hotdogs anymore cause it was always about the roll for me! My daughter actually sent me a photo yesterday of the two hotdogs she was having for lunch... on Udi's hotdog rolls! There are no Udi's hotdog rolls in west-by-go-nowhere Arkansas!

    I don't lick envelopes because I read a medical journal article (with photos!) years ago where someone got a teeny paper cut when he licked an envelope... and there were some sort of microscopic eggs on the envelope where some insect had landed on it and the guy had gross larva or bugs in his tongue that grew and his tongue was all infected! BLECH!! But...

    We had one health food store in Mountain Home... 25 miles away... now there are two!! Woo hoo!! At the one store, the owner offered to order anything I wanted/needed, but I had to tell him that while I certainly appreciated his effort to help me and how I'd like to patronize local businesses... gluten-free food is expensive and I can order from the online...

    I'll have to agree with another poster who said you can find just about any gluten-free recipe online anymore. I even googled things like gluten-free puff pastry and filo dough! Plus, there are always peeps there who've tried the recipes and I really appreciate their feedback. The million different flour mixes would also turn me off. I had tons of small...

    These kind of stories really chap my hide! Why on earth wouldn't they simply agree to do what the MOTHER thinks is best?? Would it be easier for them to accept something like a peanut allergy if they could see what happens when the baby is fed peanuts?? I had a MIL (from hell) who was so upset that I didn't feed my babies the highly-processed baby foods...

    Hubby CRACKS up when I'm biffing around the house w/ my ear buds in... dancing and singing. It's so funny cause I have all my fave songs on my ipod and one will come on and I'll say, "Ohhh... I LOVE this song." And then the next one will come on and I'll say, "Oooooh... I love THIS song!!" In no particular order, I listen to Sarah Boralles (sp?) Outkast...

    We're almost on the border of MO in AR... between Gainesville, MO and Mountain Home, AR. Watching tornado warnings... ugh!! Go Phillies!! (sorry... we moved here from PA and still love our Phillies!)

    Believe it or not, we spent a night in Biloxi on our way to and on the way home from Miami, FL just a few weeks ago. We spent one night in the Grand Casino hotel and... I actually ate at the buffet!! I NEVER eat at buffets. The chance for cross contamination is so great and the selection is so limited. I asked the cashier if I might look at the buffet...

    It's like REALLY thick batter. I scoop out a blob and plop it onto a silpat (or parchment paper would work) and "form" it w/ my spatula. I get 9-10 rolls (maybe a teeny big bigger than a hamburger roll) from a loaf's worth of dough/batter.

    I'm a huge Pamela's bread mix fan. I make it in a loaf or in free form rolls... I've even done the bagel variation w/ success. I have a KA mixer, which is awesome. I buy it in bulk bags.

    I've told my story many times, but I always loved to cook/bake. When I was diagnosed w/ celiac disease, after only a few months of symptoms, I started eating all the stuff I COULD have to make up for all the stuff I could no longer have... and put on 40 lbs! I put myself on a pretty much grain free diet eating lean meats and veggies/fruits because I was...

    I had mine at age 48, when I went to a GI doc for what turned out to be celiac disease. He ordered a bunch of bloodwork and said that 48 was close enough to 50, so a screening colonoscopy was in order. He then warned me that he wasn't a doc to use tons of anesthesia. I'd seen colonoscopies and endoscopies in nursing school many years before (where they gave...

    My blood work was so highly positive that my doc said a biopsy wasn't necessary. I ended up having an endoscopy a few years later for GERD symptoms and biopsy confirmed the blood work.

    Nope... no cheating allowed... ever. It sounds like you don't have huge issues when you do cheat which might make it all seem more appealing/not so damaging. But it's ALL damaging... so don't DO it.

    Ha ha... I especially like the tiny disclaimer "contains no poop."

    I live in the boonies too. I order everything (Pamela's especially) from the site whose name is the same as the huge river in South America (can't remember if naming that site causes a problem here). I coordinate my orders for when I need Tinyada pasta and order them at the same time... then shipping is FREE! My local health food store asked me if I wanted...

    LOVE my Kitchen Aid mixer! I also found a paddle attachment that has like spatula "squeegies" on the outside that swipes the sides of the bowl and keeps everything moving!

    I'm happier when I bring my own delicious sandwich to an event and don't care that there's nothing for me. Like another poster said... if I don't make it, I don't eat it! A friend grew impatient w/ me when I said I didn't care to go to a restaurant cause there was nothing there for me. She said, "Can't you have a chicken caesar salad?" I said, "How would...

    This is exactly what we do... because we find the precooked shrimp to be just a little underdone for our tastes. We don't like shrimp cooked like all the TV chefs say it should be cooked. We like it cooked a little longer, so the extra saute w/ butter and garlic does it up just right. We love it on pasta too!

    I've had really good luck w/ Better Batter flour. I made REAL potstickers and the dough was like working w/ gluten dough. I couldn't believe it!

    You certainly hit the nail on the head for me. I was diagnosed very quickly... only several months of symptoms... and spent the next year eating all the stuff I COULD to make up for what I could no longer have. I gained about 40 lbs!! Dunno about emotional eating. I keep asking... WHY is it emotional and not that I just LIKE macaroni and cheese better...

    I was diagnosed in my late 40s... the ONLY member in my extended family to have celiac disease. Middle daughter was diagnosed about 4 years later at about age 25. Like me, she was diagnosed very quickly (i.e... we weren't showing symptoms for years like so many) and her doc told her that she was lucky because she could avoid future things like anemia and...

    Plus, I think as more and more companies jump on the gluten-free bandwagon, because they see big $$ in it... there's going to be lots of convenience foods out there for us that end up being as bad for you as gluten-filled convenience foods... full of chemicals and additives, etc. A good gluten-free diet involves REAL food... meats, fruits, veggies, and carbs...
