ARCHIVED Controversial Facebook Post By Chef
luvs2eat replied to idonteatwheat's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
Wow!! The news story is fantastic! I hope they keep going and track him down in NJ!! -
I'm not tempted to cheat either... altho it's been so long since I had REAL french bread... I'm sure holding it to my nose and inhaling so hard might make it go right up my nose! Hi... my make is luvs... I'm a carb addict. And I like the gluten-free breads and pastas A LOT... so the unexplained weight loss many people have suffered?? Um... I didn't get...

ARCHIVED What Is Gluten Withdrawal?
luvs2eat replied to shayre's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Well then... almost 10 years after going gluten free, I'm still having withdrawal. Awesome husband is so good about hearing me WHINE about wishing I could have a sausage egg Mcmuffin or a Pizza Hut pizza or a Big Mac or a myriad of other things!! -
ARCHIVED Have You Heard About This Chef?
luvs2eat replied to sydneysmommy's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
And he could have put in the order slip for regular pasta when gluten free pasta was requested at any restaurant he worked in as a waiter! -

ARCHIVED Controversial Facebook Post By Chef
luvs2eat replied to idonteatwheat's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
If you google his name... there are at least 10 sites where other celiacs have posted and responded to his outrageous behavior. I don't see any chef jobs in this guy's future! -
ARCHIVED Controversial Facebook Post By Chef
luvs2eat replied to idonteatwheat's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
That must have been the guy who was bagging up wheat bread in gluten free wrappers and selling it as gluten free bread... and when people turned up sick... they started investigating and found out what he was doing! I'd have loved to be face to face w/ that jerk. All that said, I told my 3 gluten-free daughters about this guy and my oldest DD is sort... -
ARCHIVED What's Your Favorite Coffee?
luvs2eat replied to CarolinaKip's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
I like any old coffee... black... no weird flavors (like hazelnut, etc). It took me a month or so to get used to black coffee after giving up dairy, but I'm a black girl all the way now! -
ARCHIVED Controversial Facebook Post By Chef
luvs2eat replied to idonteatwheat's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
I sent him a nice message telling him I'd keep watching because a lawsuit will be coming if he's telling people he's serving them gluten free pasta and intentionally serving gluten-filled pasta! What a world class jerk. -
A fad?? Just being picky?? I'd invite them to stay w/ me for a day or 2 after eating gluten. That would make it crystal clear!!

ARCHIVED How Long Into Gfd Did You Start Having Reactions To Cc Or Accidental Glutening?
luvs2eat replied to zus888's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I think I was kind of a weird celiac. The ONLY symptoms I had were unrelenting diarrhea and super loud belly noises... no pain or bloating or anything else. I only had those symptoms for a couple of months before being definitively diagnosed. It was months and months before my diarrhea subsided and I began to feel normal again. Almost a year into my GFD,... -
ARCHIVED Has Anyone Decided Not To Have Kids Based On Your Celiac Diagnosis?
luvs2eat replied to SaraKat's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I have 3 daughters. One was diagnosed w/ bipolar disorder before I was diagnosed w/ celiac disease in my late 40s. I was diagnosed w/ celiac... the bipolar disorder kid was diagnosed about 5 years later. Her younger sister was diagnosed about 3 years after that and has suffered the most serious manifestation of celiac (possible refractory, serious urinary... -
ARCHIVED Whatcha Eating Today Celiacs?
luvs2eat replied to catsmeow's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
NOT that I'm one to offer an eating plan... cause I don't eat breakfast. I drink coffee all morning and have lunch at about noon. Today was bacon and lettuce ('cause we didn't have any tomatoes) using Pamela's bread and Hellman's mayo. For supper, I had cole slaw w/ homemade dressing and chunks of hot corned beef I cooked yesterday in the crockpot (more cole... -
My last two experiences at Chili's were bad... I asked for the gluten-free menu both times... explained my whole deal... and then had to call the manager over to show him a tortilla stip in my salad. The manager said that the two salad mixes were probably next to each other. The last time, the salad I ordered also wasn't supposed to contain tortilla strips...

By the time I got to a dietician, she told me I knew way more than I did about Celiac... I'd done tons of research on the 'net. A nutritionist might be something else entirely...

ARCHIVED Gluten Free Pizza Crust Mix
luvs2eat replied to thindery's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I love Namaste pizza crust mix. It makes a very light and crispy crust. One mix makes 2 crusts, but you can just measure out and mix dough for one. I spread it out on parchment paper so I can cook it on the pizza stone that's been used to make regular pizza. I tried Pamela's bread mix for a pizza crust (that's my fave bread mix!) but thought it was a little... -
ARCHIVED Immune System Seems To Have Gone Down Now That I'm Gluten Free!
luvs2eat replied to fattycat's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I was having such bad heartburn/reflux that I was ready to go to my doc and ask her for Nexium! I realized the condition was my fault and lost 20 lbs and quit eating supper so late. NO MORE HEARTBURN OR REFLUX!!! I've been gluten-free for almost 10 years and I've really noticed in the last few years that I never get sick! The last time was when my sister... -
ARCHIVED Let's Talk About Willpower In The Face Of Temptation. :)
luvs2eat replied to Monklady123's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I'm in the very same boat! I joined WW a few weeks ago and am having a terrible time w/ my portion control and cheats! Perfect example: Last night I chopped up awesome veggies and stir fried a little bit of a leftover porkchop and put it over rice... 8 points and a good portion! Later... the leftover rice is what got me. I put some in a little bowl and... -
ARCHIVED Is There A Food You Miss So Much That It's Worth The Consequences?
luvs2eat replied to zus888's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I miss LOTS of foods... but NONE are worth a cheat... EVER. -
What DON'T I miss?? I miss Subway tuna hoagies I miss stuffed crust Pizza Hut Pizza I miss Burger King's bacon double cheeseburger... ... and McDonald's double cheeseburger and Big Macs I miss REAL french bread I miss ice cream sandwiches and Carvel cakes w/ cookie crumbles as the middle I miss Girl Scout cookies I miss Tasty Cakes I miss Olive...

ARCHIVED Should I Buy A Breadmaker?
luvs2eat replied to anna34's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
I have a KA mixer too and no bread maker. I whip up Pamela's bread mix and slop it into a loaf pan or spoon out rolls onto a Silpat (silicone pan liner). LOVE my mixer! It really stands up to the long mixing times for bread mixes. -
ARCHIVED New Here! Any Point In The Scope
luvs2eat replied to Jungle's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
My doc said a scope wasn't necessary as my bloodwork was so positive. I ended up having one a few years later for GERD issues, but at the time of diagnosis, it just wasn't needed. -
I was laid off 2 years ago from a really good job examining/investigating medical insurance claims and have been picking up freelance work doing QA for a transcription company. There are FEW jobs where I live (in the boonies of north central Arkansas) and I hesitate to commit to a full time (really low paying) job because my LOVE is the time I spend tutoring...

ARCHIVED So Difficult Stay Gluten Free
luvs2eat replied to glutenfreeresistant's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
There's absolutely a learning curve when making your house gluten free... but we live in the boonies too and I can find almost all that I need at our WalMart. I order my very easy-to-make bread mix (Pamela's) and my Tinkyada pasta from the store that doesn't get mentioned on here but it's the name of that long river in So. America. When I order them together... -
If the 3-bean salad and the salad bar aren't on the celiac menu... and you ate a bean from that salad and got your salad at the salad bar... I think you found your answer. It could have been either... or both! The bean salad wasn't on the celiac menu for a reason and salad bars are notorious for cross contamination.
