    Are there gluten free pot stickers out there somwhere?????

    Unfortunately, I've not found a cookie yet that I've really liked... store bought or homemade. I guess I just have too good a memory of good old chocolate chip/toll house cookies and every one I've tried has either a gritty/crumbly texture or is too chewy/doughy. Sorry... baked desserts just aren't in my diet anymore... and I used to love to bake!

    I just save the "heels" from the Pamela's bread I make and grind 'em up for fresh bread crumbs or toast 'em for toasted crumbs. I'd kill for some gluten-free Panko... but know the general Panko available is NOT gluten-free.

    I usually have symptoms w/in an hour or so after being glutened. I have nausea and have to try hard not to vomit... I'd probably feel better if I did, but I fight it to the end! I don't just have diarrhea, but explosive D that feels like burning acid!! It lasts for a few days sometimes. Brain fog too... Yuck!

    You've already been given good advice here, but I just wanted to tell you that I never got that "unexplained weight loss" either from my celiac. Then, I gained about 30 lbs. after going gluten free filling up on the foods I COULD have to make up (in my head) for all the ones I could no longer have! I was diagnosed w/ blood work only as well. My (really...

    I was diagnosed very quickly. I'd only had tummy issues and diarrhea for a few months. I didn't have any weight loss before diagnosis and gained about 30 lbs. after going gluten free!! I sort of OD'd on foods I COULD have to ease my psychic pain for all the foods I could no longer have. Ugh!!

    I've never had one. As I was allergic to eggs as a very young child and the vaccine is incubated in eggs... it's always scared me. But, my sister (nonceliac) who was also allergic to eggs gets one, I guess that childhood allergy isn't much of an issue. But... are our autoimmune issues another reason NOT to have one? I get scared every year when they talk...

    I live in the beautiful Ozark Mts. in Arkansas now, but lived for 30 years in the New Hope, PA, area in Bucks County... pretty up there! I miss Giant and their awesome gluten-free selections, but find I can get almost anything gluten-free I need ordering thru Amazon, thank goodness... not a lot of gluten-free stuff here in AR. Maggiano's in KOP has...

    Eating out is so difficult, but Mexican seems to be the one I've had the most success with. I ALWAYS ask if the chips are corn and nothing BUT corn. Once we went to a place we went to many times and I asked as I always do ... only to find out they'd just started using new corn tortillas that were dusted w/ wheat flour!! I ask about ingredients EVERY SINGLE...

    I had an elevated ANA (1:600 or something) several years after going gluten-free. My doctor sent me to a rheumotologist who I saw every 6 months for 18 months. It never changed or developed into anything. I had no symptoms of Lupus so let me go. I don't know if it has anything to do w/ Celiac.
  11. luvs2eat
    My sentiments exactly. With the very best of intentions of chefs/cooks, you can easily become glutened. I'd take my own food w/ me... something unobtrusive like a sandwich.

    I found Bob's Red Mills certified gluten-free oats just last year... after years of being gluten-free. I LOVED oatmeal and really missed it. I made it w/ a spoonful of brown sugar and lots of blueberries... BEST dang breakfast I'd had in SOOOO long!!
  13. luvs2eat
    I know you don't want to use mixes, but Pamela's gluten free pancake mix is really good. I make the waffle recipe and freeze them so I can pop 'em in the toaster!

    LOVE, LOVE, LOVE risotto!! Creamy, sticky rice and cheese... what's not to LOVE? I make it all the time. Love shrimp and asparagus. I've also done peas and proscuitto. The packaged kinds are all sodium and sort of chemical-y tasting to me. Real risotto is EASY. Try it!! You'll be hooked!!

    I bought Bob's Red Mill certified gluten-free oats after being gluten-free for about 6 years. It was the best bowl of oatmeal I ever tasted (w/ a little brown sugar and blueberries!). I had no reaction! But I'll only have them occasionally. Don't wanna jinx myself.

    I know some of the stuff we can eat has a higher glycemic index than what non-celiacs can eat... brown rice pastas, for example... altho you didn't say you'd eaten any.

    I fed my babies really carefully and only started them on solid food at 6 mo. I didn't know anything about Celiac (I didn't develop symptoms till I was older), but didn't give them some of the more common allergy foods, like eggs and citrus or milk, till they were a year old. I don't guess not feeding them gluten for that year would have changed anything...

    I chomped down a heavenly thick slice of the homemade bread I could only make for others about a year after going gluten-free (or THOUGHT I was gluten-free... peeps here set me straight right quick!) and had NO reaction! I was elated... and spent a lot of time thinking I might "plan" a cheat, maybe once a month. But, as I REALLY embraced gluten free...

    These are my exact requests too!!

    We had my daughter's wedding rehearsal dinner there last Friday. She and I were SO excited at the prospect of gluten-free pasta!! The chef and restaurant manager sought us out and talked to us for a long time. We were given our own gluten-free appetizer (hot spinach artichoke dip w/ carrots), our own salads, pasta w/ broccoli and chicken marsala... and...

    Same for me. They were the closest to "real" bagels I'd had in many years! That said... I'm goin' over to check out Joan's... as today is the 8th!!!

    I'd have to agree w/ Portland, too. There's this really neat little bakery that looks like a Gingerbread house w/ the most yummy gluten-free stuff. I moved to Arkansas where there's NO gluten-free stuff in stores, but I can order anything I need from Amazon and if I buy $25 worth of stuff (so I just wait till I need a few things)... shipping is free and...

    I lived in New Hope and surrounding areas for almost 30 years! VERY pretty area!! There's Jules in Doylestown (about 15 min. from New Hope) that serves gluten-free pizza. I ate at Widow Brown's in the old church on the main drag not long ago ... they were MOST accommodating!! I also ate once at the Triumph Brewing Company. My waiter hooked me...

    You sure must not have the gastric issues I have when glutened. I can't IMAGINE eating gluten on purpose. When I was diagnosed, I sort of OD'd on the foods I COULD have cause I was so upset at all the foods I could no longer have... and gained about 30 lbs. I'd only repeat what everyone else has said. Even if you don't have the immediate physical reactions...

    Been using her book for several years. I made about 10 batches of her carrot cake recipe and made my 3 tiered wedding cake a few years ago. It was awesome!
