    I'll have to look for it! I'm one of the sick twists who's LOVED the show. I took my 3 kids to see the movie years ago and there was ONE other couple in the movie and when they got done with the first song... the couple walked out and we had the entire theater to ourselves. This is awful... but I was on the PTA thingy in the kid's elementary school and...

    I post every year... "if this is my 13th year of being gluten-free... this will be my 13th new stuffing/dressing recipe!" I grew up with Pepperidge Farm stuffing mix. I used to make like a quadruple recipe and bake whatever didn't fit into the turkey in loaf pans so we could slice off a hunk and eat it with turkey and gravy. Now... my 3 daughters...

    I visited a gastroenterologist at age 49 with symptoms of unrelenting diarrhea. He did blood tests and scheduled a colonoscopy because I was so close to the 50 year old screening age. After the colposcopy, he told me he had good news and bad news. I opted for the good news. He told me he could stop my diarrhea... the bad news? I couldn't eat wheat, rye, or...

    I wasn't diagnosed until age 49. I'd spent years making beautiful loaves of rustic country and beautiful challah bread. Does the craving go away? It does NOT. Will I ever eat those fragrant wonderful loaves again? Nope. It is what it is...

    There aren't any Sprouts... or any other stores where I live. We have WalMart... I get Namaste pizza crust mix from the health food store. It's great!

    I know there's wheat in it, but I've read that there are some that use cornstarch or tapioca starch as the binder. Has anyone found those anywhere?? I googled all sorts of stuff but never found a thing. I even found a recipe, but I'm not that brave.

    Not to mention... Udi's pizza crusts are terrible!! I've been to pizza places where I trust their practices and they often used Against the Grain crusts (which are only for businesses... not individuals... to purchase). Those are awesome! Udi's... not so much.

    Papa Murphy's is the pizza place where you go in and choose the pizza toppings you like. Then you take the pizza home and bake it in your own oven. They've just come out w/ a Udi's gluten-free crust and are advertising they can give you a gluten-free pizza. Of course, there are tons of us commenting on their website and writing the corporate site to ask...

    Oh heck yeah... I can count on one hand the real glutenings I've had over the last 10+ years. They got progressively worse until the last one where I swore I would NEVER make the CC mistake again!!

    I was told my GI doc that celiac was common in those if Irish ancestry. My mom was right off the boat in the early 1920s. Then I read that people of Jewish ancestry were also susceptible. I was diagnosed at age 49. My three daughters (of Irish and Jewish ancestry) were diagnosed in a continuous line... 3 of 3 are celiac. Sad to say, I told them... you're...

    We make this all the time, 'cept w/ ground chicken. We LOVE it!!

    When I was a newly diagnosed celiac and didn't seem to have severe repercussions... I'd not stress about possible glutenings and even scarfed down a huge, thick slice of gluteny bread once. I probably was seriously glutened about 4 times in the next 10 years w/ increasing severity of symptoms. 10+ years later... I would never, ever, ever, EVER think about...

    We went to an awesome restaurant for Valentine's Day where there are only 12 diners and the chef cooks right in front of us. I'd spoken to the chef long before our visit and he assured me he could easily do gluten-free. It was an amazing 5-course meal and we absolutely loved it. We decided to go back again last weekend and I again called and spoke to the...

    Give yourself time. My bowels didn't return to anything resembling "normal" until I'd been gluten-free for nearly a year.

    I got... "Oh, it contains whey... you can't have that, right??"

    I swear that since I've been diagnosed (more than 10 years ago), I've had VERY few colds and any other illnesses. I work around lots of kids and never get their germ factory illnesses (knock on wood).

    I'm with the others... cheating is never a good thing. When I was diagnosed 2 years before, and had the occasion to eat a huge hunk of (real) bread it was a no-brainer... keep the kids safe!!

    I just bring my own food everywhere and say, with a huge smile, "Thanks so much for thinking about me... you are too kind... but if I don't prepare it, I can't eat it." It's as simple as that.

    My oldest daughter was diagnosed w/ stage 4 metastatic breast cancer at age 31. She's now 35 and is in remission (her 3rd?). She's one helluva fighter. She was diagnosed with celiac about a year or 2 into her cancer treatment. Youngest daughter was diagnosed with celiac right after having a uterine fibroid removed about 4 years ago. Her celiac was so severe...

    Good info, ken... thanks! We make sushi at home... just cooked shrimp and veggies, but it's delicious. I'd love to learn to make spicy tuna (my fave also) but not only is there NO fresh fish where I live... if there was, I wouldn't trust it!

    I love to make a cheesecake using gluten-free ginger snaps for the crust. Top with lots of fresh fruit for a beautiful presentation.

    I've had VERY good luck at both Red Robin and Outback Steak House. That said... the staff can be as knowledgeable as anyone and a mistake can be made while your food's going thru the chain (manager, server, cook/kitchen staff). I'm even afraid of PF Changs even tho they are known for their care in keeping gluten-free food safe. I eat out rarely. The last...

    Not to mention, they're ridiculously expensive. I bought some gluten-free ravioli... so happy to find it... and found it pretty tasteless. I'd love to try making it myself.

    When you say "blood in stool" do you mean bright red blood that's clinging to the stool or coloring the toilet water? Or do you mean black stool that indicates bleeding higher up that's completely mixing w/ stool and turning it black? The first is common and often blamed on things like internal hemorrhoids while the other shows the need for more study to...

    I understand your pain and frustration! Last night my daughter made the most delicious beef stew and the whole time I was enjoying it, all I could think of was that there were no good old Bisquick dumplings floating in it (tried the gluten-free Bisquick... it wasn't good). Been gluten-free for more than 10 years and every once in a while I get so sad about...
