    Those look delicious! i'm always looking for a good "nuggets" recipe for the grandkids, who can't get past nuggets coming from anywhere but McD's!

    I was completely surprised to find Udi's bread (frozen) in a new natural market that opened here (in the boonies of Arkansas). It is the best thing since sliced bread!! I got the white bread and was unhappy to find that a "bubble" had baked in it so half the loaf had a big hole in each slice. The "whole grain" one was even better!!

    I didn't eliminate diary when I went gluten free... going on 10 years ago... and all was well. Fast forward to now... and it seems that dairy no longer loves me. And, I'm finding it MUCH harder to eliminate dairy than it was to do away w/ gluten! There are good breads and many ways to cook/bake w/o gluten... but butter is butter and good cheese is good cheese...

    We had to abandon our fave Mexican restaurant a few years ago when they changed their distributor and their corn tortillas were now dusted w/ wheat flour! We don't go out for Mexican so often anymore. I've found it difficult to feel comfortable w/ the answers to my questions when there's a language communication problem.

    That's great news! We're 2 hours south of Springfield, MO, and would absolutely go there occasionally!!

    I posted a while back about eating at Chilis. The manager brought me the gluten-free menu and took my order personally. When I called him back to our table after finding flour tortilla strips in my salad, he was so apologetic. I wrote to the company and actually complimented the manager on how he handled the situation. Went again a few nights ago (we...

    That's one of the funniest and sweetest (at the end anyhow) stories I've ever heard!

    All the brands I've ever seen contain wheat. Maybe someplace like Whole Foods might have some gluten-free, soy free?

    ARCHIVED Risotto

    luvs2eat replied to lucia's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    Homemade risotto SHOULD be gluten free, but you never know how a restaurant may choose to change the recipe. I ordered rice pudding in a restaurant once (assuming it was gluten-free... we can NEVER assume) and as I was putting the spoon to my mouth, our server, who also had celiac disease, just about knocked the spoon out of my hand. The rice in the pudding...

    Why are you eating gluten???

    I'd bring my own food every time you get together... w/o fail. The risk of CC and loving good intentions are just too great. Just practice saying, "I'm so glad we can all be together and I don't have to bother anyone or worry about getting sick because I bring my own food." Say it over and over again to them. Maybe they will embrace your challenge (and...

    LOVE me some Chik-fil-A fries!! There are none where we live, so when I see one in our travels... I always have to stop!! I don't eat them anywhere else tho. I've heard that McD's are gluten-free and have enjoyed them twice w/o problems in the past, but I don't trust 'em at all!

    I can't stand the taste of mixers... but we make our own whiskey sours and margaritas at home w/ fresh ingredients. What a difference it makes!

    To have that kind of frustration piled on you when you're in excruciating pain is inexcusable! I hope you can get in touch w/ someone "higher up" in the Walgreens company and tell them your whole story!

    I guess if you're planning to open your own bakery... you don't want to share the recipe, huh?

    I'll bet we ALL have stories like this. I went to a friend's and she was proud to tell me the soup contained NO wheat. There was a ton of pasta floating in it. I went to an Applebees and ordered shrimp on a spinach salad. I went thru the whole "wheat" discussion... no croutons, etc. and enjoyed my salad until I got to the bottom and found a layer of fried...

    I found the Namaste crust mix in the health food store. It's delicious and the mix makes 2 crusts. I spread out the dough on parchment paper on a pizza pan and then slide the paper off the pan and onto the pizza stone that's preheated in the oven. The resulting pizza has crispy crust and is awesome! I often do a white pizza w/ a little ranch dressing and...

    Not that I would wish celiac disease on anyone (I WOULD NOT), but if this particular teacher had a child w/ celiac disease... her attitude would be SOOO much different.

    I didn't have that much trouble going gluten free... I liked to cook and bake and finding GOOD gluten-free alternatives hasn't been as hard as I thought it would be. That said, I don't bake much anymore, except for weekly bread, because I can't reconcile myself to the different tastes and textures of gluten-free baking rather than wheat flour baking, but...

    Is that gluten free bread? It sure looks pretty. Edited to add... I don't know what to say about the flour. I made gorgeous round crusty country loaves of bread for 25 years in a "cloche," a sandstone sort of thing that I got from Williams Sonoma many years ago. I broke that one and got another (at about twice the price I'd spent 25 years earlier) and...

    I'm so sorry. It's no wonder your poor body is in crisis! You've been thru more than some people go thru in their whole lives!
  22. luvs2eat
    Thoughts??? You're damaging your small intestine every time you eat even a tiny piece of bread!! Are your experiences related to eating bread even occasionally? I'd think SO!! Bread seems to be one of the easiest things to replace anymore... even gluten free bagels are good... so do yourself a favor!!!

    I went thru the nighttime diarrhea too. After going gluten-free, it went away. It returned recently, and I've come to the sad conclusion that it's dairy causing it this time. I'm finding going dairy free more difficult that going gluten-free was!!

    I'd even take it a little further and say that things w/ REAL foods as ingredients aren't processed. As soon as you start adding preservatives, stablizers, etc., it becomes processed. I wouldn't consider 100% juice or bread made only w/ flour, water, salt and maybe eggs and oil or ice cream using only cream, sugar, and nuts/chocolate, etc., as processed...

    I don't know how old you are, but I didn't exhibit ANY symptoms till I was 48 years old and was diagnosed just a few months later. The fact that a gluten-free diet worked makes me wonder if you're not reacting to another food, like dairy. I've been gluten-free for 9 years and only recently started having diarrhea again... and all signs point to dairy! ...
