    Hey... no one can have TOO MANY friends. And friendships that turn into dating/love are the BEST.

    After reading on here many times that they are OKAY for us... I've had a small order several times w/ no problems at all. I don't eat them cause I don't NEED them... or rather my butt doesn't.

    I think your mistake is in your "most likely" observation about the food. The garlic sauce may have seemed "most likely" to be garlic and butter, but unless you ASK... you don't know if flour was used to thicken it. Same for the tortilla chips and anything else you ate. If you don't ask the servers specific questions... "most likely" will most likely get...

    I was SO psyched to read this recipe... from a link posted here that took me to Recipezaar for pasta dough from a recipe in "More From the Gluten Free Gourmet" by Bette Hagman. Here's the recipe: Ingredients 1/2 cup tapioca flour 1/2 cup cornstarch 3 tablespoons potato starch 3/4 teaspoon salt 4 1/2 teaspoons xanthan gum 3 large eggs (or 4 or...

    Chilis is one of our faves... and one of the ONLY "chain" restaurants where we live (in the boonies!). I like their baked potato soup... just a little is so filling! As we do anywhere we go out to eat... we make friends w/ our server ("Have a seat and let me tell you about my food issues." ha ha) and I tell them, w/ a smile, that if there are croutons on...

    I'm green w/ envy! We don't have Udi's anywhere near me and no Costcos either!!

    Hi Kim. My name is Leslie and I'm a fat ass too... or as I usually say... a carb addict. I put on more than 30 lbs. after going gluten free... enjoying too much of the things I COULD have to make up for all the things I could no longer have. It always irritated me when people talk about the emotional reasons people eat and get fat. I keep asking... why...

    I was diagnosed with such high blood levels that my GI doc saw no need to biopsy. I did have a biopsy a few years later for symptoms of GERD and acid reflux and there were signs of "celiac villi." I guess a biopsy for your son will just add another confirmation in his diagnostic journey. At least, it's an easy test w/ no prep (other than not eating after...

    Don't know what your celiac symptoms are, but a colon cleanse would have been wasted money for me, as everything I ate was shooting straight thru me! I've never understood the whole colon cleanse craze... if one eats a normal diet, won't fiber in the form of veggies, fruts, etc... do what the colon cleanse does? A great on-the-go breakfast is mixing up...

    There was a thread on here a few years back asking people to tell what their "trigger" was. There were lots of triggers, but if I remember correctly, a good case of mono was the overwhelming response.

    I don't have FM pain, or any pain really. My symptoms were/are all digestive. I can tell you that it took the better part of a YEAR (as I realized I was making a lot of mistakes) before I decided my bowels had returned to "normal."

    I don't know where you are in your gluten free journey, but after going on 10 years of being gluten free... my body is absolutely telling me that it has NO USE for alcohol, in any form (wine, straight spirits, mixed drinks). Boo hoo hoo hoo!! I'm NOT happy.
  13. luvs2eat
    I really appreciate your replies! Ha ha... I was so mad and upset when I wrote my post... it wasn't till later that I noticed the spelling in my "subject." I meant to say that "I can now SOOO appreciate the frustration celiac's feel." She is actually eating more frequent, smaller meals in an effort to keep some food in her empty tummy and I believe...

    I've been watching this thread w/ interest too! There's no Udi's bread anywhere near me and the ordering/shipping costs are keeping me from trying this "wonder" bread as everyone describes it! Major thanks to all you scientists!! It just further confirms what I tell people all the time. Celiac disease just makes one have to learn to cook differently!...

    My 27-year-old daughter was diagnosed by endoscopy biopsy last fall (I was diagnosed about 9 years ago and her older sister about 5 years ago). Her symptoms were the usual in our family... severe GI distress, etc., but hers have escalated dramatically to include mouth ulcers, skin rashes, and other things. She's cut dairy and grains out of her diet and is...

    I saw those... and some from another company on here. They are SO pricey!! THREE handmade matzohs for $23??? The other company's are more than $2.00 PER matzoh! I've missed matzoh... but will have to miss it for a while longer, I fear!

    My celiac daughter lives in South Philly. She just told me about a group of celiacs she found on meetup.com. They'd planned an appetizer party, but it had to be postponed because of all the snow you got! I'll see if I can get more info from her. She was completely psyched to meet up with fellow celiacs and spend an evening w/ yummy food she didn't have to...

    I've been gluten free for more than 7 years and have finally come to the conclusion that my body has recently decided it has no more use for alcohol! I love a glass (or 3) of red or white wine or an ice cold vodka and tonic w/ extra lime or a very dirty martini or a frosty frozen peach margarita ... but the repercussions (urgent and explosive) the next morning...

    My tastes have totally changed over the years I've been gluten free. I don't bake much anymore... can't reconcile myself to the cookies and the flavor of cakes we can have. I want crunchy chips way more than candy/cookies anymore.

    I've had several episodes in my life of flashing lights... sort of in a circle. The first time I had it I was in a grocery store and I kept blinking my eyes to see if it would go away. I wondered if it might be an "aura" and I was going to have a seizure or something!! About 20 min. later, the circle of flashing had reduced to maybe 1/4 of a circle. I ended...

    Welcome! I love it here. You can find an answer to ANY question you ever had!! My daughter was a vegetarian for many years... not for moral reasons... just because she didn't like meat. When she was diagnosed with celiac, she went back to meat cause she was afraid she wasn't getting the protein she needed. She was surprised to find how much she liked it...
  22. luvs2eat
    It sure can!! I've been gluten free for years... and just recently, I've been reacting to everything it seems! I've cut myself back to only fresh foods... mainly lean meats, fruits and veggies. I'm wondering if my body isn't finally rebelling against all the carbs and grains (albeit gluten free ones) I am totally addicted to!! I'm taking a break from...

    I did "real" fried chicken using the flour blend I usually use (Analise Robert's mix of brown rice flour, potato starch, and tapioca flour), but we prefer soaking it in buttermilk and then dipping it in crushed Doritos Cool Ranch chips w/ a little taco seasoning added and baking it. It's delish! Poultry seasoning is really just a mix of several different...

    I just googled gluten free puff pastry the other day and was intrigued by the recipes there. I vowed to try it soon!! One post had photos that really made it appear doable!! I don't see any companies in the States.

    And the POSSIBILITY of being accepted and MAYBE earning up to $500 is not NEARLY enough to make me eat gluten so my antibody numbers are up!
