    I've made the regular boules many times for my wheat-loving friends and neighbors. It's very easy and delicious... or so they tell me. I'm SOOOOO PSYCHED that I can try it gluten-free!!! Been wanting to do a muffaleta ever since I saw the Neely's do it on Food TV!! Not to mention making tiny boules and taking out the middles and toasting them for soup...

    I don't know about the enzymes on shredded cheese, but I don't like it because I think it has a flavor and a texture. I always shred my own... tastes way better!

    I have a friend who is wonderful about knowing the ingredients of what he cooks so he can make sure I can eat it. I'm so touched when he does this. But we had a conversation last night about eating in restaurants ... even when they have a gluten-free menu. I explained to him that I can have a lengthy conversation w/ the server or the manager and even the...

    I've done the Pamela's bread mix bagel variation and thought it was the closest to the texture of a real bagel I'd had since going gluten-free.

    I completely understand your grieving. I went thru it and my daughter's going thru it now. She's not grieving for the gluten free part, as she's been familiar w/ mine and my middle daughter's issues for years. But she's discovering that she also has interstitial cystitis, which limits her diet even more! She's having a hard time dealing w/ the idea that so...

    I saw my GI doc to be diagnosed... he did blood work and a colonoscopy (cause I was near the age to be needing the first one). My blood work was so positive that he didn't see a need for an endoscopy. The next time I saw him was several years later when I was having terrible heartburn and acid reflux. That time he did an endoscopy and said he saw evidence...

    I like Pamela's bread mix and baking (pancake) mix. I also like all the Tinkyada pastas. There aren't many other products I buy. Kinnikinick pizza crusts are pretty good, but I don't eat them often.

    I was a fairly normal weight when I found out I have celiac disease. I was diagnosed very quickly ... only 2 months after symptoms (unrelenting diarrhea) showed up. I GAINED about 40 lbs. after going gluten free!! It's my own fault... I made up for all the things I could no longer eat by eating way too much of what I COULD eat! I'm dieting now ... rather...

    I was the ONLY one in an extended Irish family of about 20. Thankfully, I was diagnosed very quickly... only 2 months after developing unrelenting diarrhea. 3 or 4 years later, my 25-year-old daughter started exhibiting the same symptoms. She's been gluten-free since. Recently, my youngest daughter was diagnosed and wasn't too upset about it, having been...

    You have so much going on... trying to stay gluten free... weak-ass boyfriend... job stress... winter blahs... it's no wonder you're flipping. I'd like to recommend staying w/ the counseling. I'd stress to my therapist that dealing w/ day-to-day problems and longer-term goals is where you're headed. Good advice here... this is a GOOD place to vent...

    I lived in Miami many years ago and every time we drove past the Holsum Bread factory, this bready yeasty smell would almost overwhelm you!! It took a long time to get used to the smell, but we eventually did. As far as situational illness goes... I know I sure feel like barfing when I have to spend any time in the same room/ ANY room w/ my jerk of an...

    Also check out www.dwlz.com online. It's a site made by a lady named Dotti (dwlz = dottie's weight loss zone) who lost a bunch of weight on WW and it's got TONS of information about restaurant points and recipes and forums. Gearing up for WW...

    I'm jealous! I keep hearing about Udi products and there are NO Whole Foods anywhere near me (the closest is 4 hours away!!).

    All my kids were born many years before my celiac diagnosis. The family joke was that all my husband had to do was PHONE HOME and I got pregnant!! ha ha

    Sounds like a wonderful experience! When I was diagnosed, my doc told me celiac was most common in those of Irish descent. My mom was "right off the boat," but I'm the ONLY one in a fairly small Scots/Irish family to have it!

    I packed on about 35 lbs after going gluten free and I know exactly why!! I was diagnosed very quickly... only about 3 months after developing unrelenting diarrhea, so I wasn't losing any weight! People always ask me the signs and symptoms of celiac disease and I tell them one is unexplained weight loss... then I look down at myself and say, "Um... I...

    I've been called 3 times. The first two, I had pretty new infants at home and nursing them got me exempted. When I got called the 3rd time, my employer said he'd write me a note to get out of it! I was shocked and told him I wanted to go... it was my civic duty. He laughed at me... he was a real jerk. I told him that if I ever found myself in front of a jury...

    Did you use Pamela's baking mix? Does Pamela's have a basic flour mix? I use her bread mix all the time and love it!! I REALLY miss a soft hot dog roll.

    I was gluten free for years before finding Bob's Certified gluten-free Oats. Tried 'em and LOVE, LOVE, LOVE them!! They take a while to cook, but they are delicious. I only have them occasionally.

    Jestgar... I am CRACKING up at your photo!!!!

    I used to say it sounded like wolverines were trying to fight their way out of my intestines!! I was lucky, in that I was diagnosed very quickly... only about 3 months after developing unrelenting diarrhea. I never had any other issues... no tummy aches, no nausea, no weight loss (dang... I could have used a little of that one!). I will tell you that it...

    I'm not understanding why you don't want to tell them about your gluten concerns? It might seem kind of fussy or snobby, when people offer you cookies or things you can't eat and you continually refuse... but it's really a serious health issue! I remember feeling like people thought I was being fussy when they'd ask me, in sort of an impatient voice,...

    Like another poster said, I'd hand him the food responsibilities a few times... w/ you watching closely... so he can understand what's really happening. How many friends have said to me, "Can't you just eat a LITTLE??" He wouldn't let the kids poison themselves at a fair in the name of "enjoying the experience," would he??? That would be a disaster.

    What does it say on the ingredient list?
