    About a year after going gluten-free, I scarfed down a huge hunk of homemade bread I'd made and missed so terribly. NOTHING HAPPENED. I had these awesome dreams of "planning" a cheat... maybe once a month... and was making a list of all the foods I might have! I didn't do the once a month cheat... and now I wouldn't knowingly put gluten in my mouth for all...

    I was 49 years old... and was diagnosed after only a few months of gastro symptoms. I'm the only one of my siblings who has Celiac. My middle daughter (of 3 girls) was diagnosed at 25.

    This is one of my new faves. I took it to a pot luck a while back and I swear... people were about to LICK the crockpot clean, it was SO good. I doubled the recipe. Enjoy! Best Corn Ever 2 pounds frozen corn kernels 1 8 oz package cream cheese 1 stick butter 1 teaspoon sugar 1 teaspoon salt pepper to taste Mix all together in crockpot...

    When I make rolls and bagels, I freeze them and take them out individually. When I'm on a real sandwich kick, I just put the loaf of bread in a zip lock in the fridge... it lasts more than a week. Or I slice it into slices and put 2 slices in a sandwich zip lock and freeze. One of the best finds... in a store like Bed, Bath & Beyond... was a $4.00 slicing...

    I make a loaf of Pamela's Bread Mix once a week or week-and-a-half... sometimes I make it into roll shapes and I've even made the bagel recipe.. they are DELISH and the best textured bread I've found yet! I order them by the 6 mixes from Amazon. You only have to order $25 worth of stuff and shipping if FREE... SO good for me living out there in the Arkansas...

    I made this tonight and ... holy cow... is it DELICIOUS!!! Thanks so much for posting it! I'd SOOO been missing Pierogies and this was an awesome "remake." Edited to add... And those Steelers kicked some butt, didn't they?????

    There are too many people involved in eating out who just don't "get" it. I can explain till I'm blue in the face... but someone in the back of the kitchen will invariably put the fried chinese noodles at the bottom of my salad for me to find at the end of the salad (been there) or SOMETHING else that will make me sick. As others have said in the past...

    Nope... there's no cheating on the gluten-free diet... simple as that. I used to hope I might be able cheat occasionally, but the longer I've been gluten-free, the more sensitive I've become. I would NEVER, EVER intentionally cheat now... EVER!!!

    I ONLY eat Chik-fil-A fries. Unfortunately... the closest one is a 2 hour drive away, so they're a rare and special treat!

    If you had the physical symptoms I have when I accidentally have gluten (as I'd NEVER digest it willingly)... we wouldn't be having this conversation! You'd NEVER think about cheating!!

    Bread... or the lack of bread... was what made me most angry. I've not had any luck w/ the many scratch recipes I tried, and pretty much use Pamela's bread mix exclusively. It's easy and has few needed added ingredients. Manna from Anna also makes a good bread. Both these hold up to sandwiches really well. I order Pamela's bread mix from (Company Name...

    I don't know anything about the dietician, but have your Portlanders found the Gluten Free Bakery in the house that looks like a Gingerbread house? I think it's over on the SE side of the city. They have awesome stuff!! I have 2 kids who live in PDX and we ALWAYS stop there when I visit. I can find out the name and a better location if you like!

    I need to write myself a letter like yours. I NEVER intentionally eat gluten, but I'm such a carb addict... and didn't get the "unexplained weight loss" symptom of celiac, probably because I was diagnosed in a matter of 2 months. I went about eating all the foods I COULD eat to make up (in my head) for all the foods I could no longer eat, and gained about...

    I made multiple recipes of Annalise Roberts carrot cake recipe and made a 3-tiered wedding cake w/ cream cheese frosting for my wedding a few years ago. I froze the layers (a 14 inch, a 12 inch and a 10 inch) and made the most beautiful cake!!

    I rarely eat out anymore. Went to Applebees a long while back ... told the whole wheat/gluten/cross contamination story... ordered a spinach salad w/ shrimp... please don't put ANY croutons on it... NO roll anywhere... thought I had all my bases covered. When I got to the bottom of the bowl.... there was a layer of fried chinese noodles. I showed them to...

    I wasn't as physically sensitive when I was first diagnosed... and thought I was eating gluten-free by picking croutons off salads and blowing crumbs away or taking a burger off a roll. The peeps here set me STRAIGHT!!! The pizza place, Jules, in Doylestown, PA, offers a gluten-free pizza. I talked to them and they told me they send the pizza thru the...

    As you'll see from this awesome site... it seems like no 2 people w/ celiac disease have the same symptoms. But, my goodness... you've been dealing w/ this for a LONG time. I was diagnosed in my late 40s after only several months of intestinal symptoms. As said previously... a gluten free diet is the only treatment. It can be challenging, especially if you...

    Here's a recipe the peeps in the recipe chat room I hang out in swear by!! I'll be taking it to a potluck in a few weeks. Best Corn Ever 2 pounds frozen corn kernels 1 8 oz package cream cheese 1 stick real butter 1 teaspoon sugar 1 teaspoon salt pepper to taste Mix all together in crockpot. Cook on high for 2 hours. Stir occasionally...

    I always make the Analise Robert's (her baking cookbook is the best I've found!) recipe for pie crust using her brown rice flour mix and butter, egg, etc. Works every time!

    I was the first to be diagnosed in my family (at age 48). I seriously recommended my sister (who has suffered her whole life w/ allergies and eczema and asthma) and brother to be tested... I really thought my sister would come up positive. Neither she nor my bro did. One of my 3 daughter had symptoms, was tested, and is now gluten-free. The other 2 won...

    Do I miss wheat? You betcha... I can make lots of things gluten-free, but there are some that just don't translate. Would I intentionally eat wheat, etc... cause I craved it so? Not on your life!
  22. luvs2eat
    I often say, "If I don't cook it, I can't eat it." Given that your mom's glutened you w/ random ingredients she FORGETS to tell you are included... I'd adopt my phrase and stick to it.

    Let me tell you what NOT to do!! Last year I went to my small company party (super fun partiers!!) and didn't even THINK to bring my own food or eat beforehand, knowing there would be nothing there I'd be able to eat. A few absolutely DELICIOUS raspberry martinis later, we were all goofing around and dancing and having fun and I fell... my feet just sort...
  24. luvs2eat
    Ugh!! I know it's not funny when you can't keep weight on, but people ask me all the time what the symptoms of Celiac are and I say, Well... one of the first seems to be unexplained weight loss..." Then I look down at myself and say, "I didn't GET that one." I was diagnosed very quickly... only 2 months after developing obvious symptoms (unrelenting diarrhea...

    What are the proportions you use w/ either potato starch or cornstarch? For example... I used to make a roux w/ butter and flour and add drippings and broth to make awesome gravy. I know cornstarch is supposed to be mixed w/ cold liquids... so what measurements do you use w/ either potato or cornstarch? TIA!
