    My youngest daughter spent more than a year eating exactly 5 foods. She'd been to doctor after doctor who blew her off and she had to do her own research and fashion her own elimination diet. She ate eggs, plain cooked chicken (no spices at all), apples, cauliflower, and white rice. After that very long time, her gut was so much happier and she began to bring...

    My fave comment was, "OMG... what on earth do you eat???" I'd look down at myself and say, "Um... do I LOOK like I'm starving?"

    We just don't eat out anymore. I've talked the talk and ordered a plain salad only to find a random tortilla strip or fried Chinese noodle buried in there. Last month I did go to a Red Robin in Miami, FL where my daughter's been many times and always has a conversation with the manager... who told us just how gluten-free aware they are. The burger bun was...

    I've read many reviews about this new cookbook. Many were great but lots were really bad citing the same complaints you have... following the directions to the letter and baking bricks! I love her first book and swear by Better Batter flour but I'm not remotely interested in buying all that new and expensive stuff. There's no shoestring going on there...

    I was diagnosed with just a blood test. I had an endoscopy years later which confirmed celiac but my gastro MD said the blood levels I had were some of the highest he'd ever seen. I went gluten-free the next day. THEN... a few months later, I scarfed down a huge thick slice of homemade bread (w/ gluten) and had NO reaction whatsoever. Holy cow... I spent...

    I heard a fascinating program yesterday about leaky gut and one parent's experience with her son who was diagnosed with juvenile idiopathic arthritis. She wrote this article for the NYT, which I read. The most depressing part for me was reading the comments... about how a "diet" probably didn't do much and putting such information in the NYT was a disservice...

    copy and paste the entire thing into google. A bunch of articles come up that should help!

    That's how I used to describe my BMs before and soon after the gluten-free diet... as shooting "SHOOTING" molten lava... ha ha ha.

    This may be completely random.... but I've started "oil pulling" with organic, unprocessed coconut oil... and have suggested that my daughter, who's had dental issues all of her life, do the same. I've noticed an almost immediate improvement in my own gum (gingivitis) issues and tooth discoloration/whitening in the few times I've done it and can't believe...

    My daughter and I just had to deal w/ something like this. Her father was so proud to show us all of the gluten-free stuff he bought for her graduation party and wouldn't let us... who've been living w/ celiac for 10+ years... buy what we know is good. People who aren't gluten-free think that if he says gluten-free on the box, it's good. So not true. There...

    I know what you mean about the aggressive tone, but think of it this way. When I was a newbie (10+ years ago) I mentioned that my symptoms were not so bad that I couldn't remove a burger from the roll or remove croutons and blow off the crumbs. To say I got lambasted is an understatement. I was so angry, I deleted the celiac forums from my favorites. A few...

    Every year I say to myself, "THIS will be the year I do up the garden right!" Ha ha. Last year I was away for 2 (TWO) days and when I came home, the tomato horn worms had completely denuded most of my tomato plants! Is it any wonder that when I find one, I STOMP on them... and guess what? They're insides and guts are green! My mint, in a big flower pot, seems...

    I took a long telephone survey years ago (PAID, I might add) about a new medicine that was being marketed as a pill that would allow you to eat gluten occasionally or would lessen the repercussions of eating gluten. She kept asking me if I would take such a medicine and I kept saying, "Absolutely not, and if you market this to celiacs who then THINK they...

    If you're feeling sad and lonely, you're NOT being too sensitive. Being the smart ass I am, I'd want to say something like, "You know... your comments are so insensitive, I kind of want to wish celiac disease on you so you can experience what it's like... but I'd never wish this on anybody... so go suck an egg."

    When I was diagnosed... 10+ years ago... I spent the next year filling myself with the things I COULD eat to make up for the things I could no longer eat. I gained about 40 lbs! The only thing that takes the weight off for me is to cut out the obvious carbs... bread, pasta, baked goods. I just eat lean protein, veggies, fruit, and not a lot of cheese. Seems...

    I don't have a recipe for you, but if you google gluten-free pate a choux, you'll find lots of recipes that work well w/ gluten-free flours. Then you can proceed to the ricotta, cherries, and orange slices?

    If you find and eat gluten free French bread... please come back and tell us everything... so I can drool all over my keyboard. My sister (who lives there) tells me that gluten-free eating/cooking/products are showing up everywhere.

    One of the ingredients I stayed away from for a long time was "modified food starch," which is in a lot of things... until I learned that if the product is manufactured in the United States, modified food starch is NOT wheat unless it specifically says it is.

    I've read these articles and the scientific study posted in the Publications forum. It's SCARY. After reading them, I vowed to go GMO free, organic, to raise chickens for meat and eggs, to grow most, if not all, of our veggies. A few days later, when I'd calmed down a little (haha)... and found organic eggs at the grocery for FIVE DOLLARS a dozen... I've...

    Geez... potatoes baked in the crockpot, microwavable veggies and a rotisserie chicken could feed everyone, including the celiac. Frozen French fries, fried eggs on top of steamed or creamed spinach is a meal everyone could share. Anyone can boil up gluten free spaghetti and dump a jar of sauce on it and make a salad. My kids would make the spaghetti noodles...

    Not that I'm aware of. Pacific makes a delicious tomato soup in a big carton but it's not condensed.
  22. luvs2eat
    I like it! But next time I'll add a little less sugar. Texture is spot on! Thanks!!

    I was on Protonix for several years... and then I lost 20 lbs. and my GERD disappeared. Dunno if that applies, but it was a game changer for me!
  24. luvs2eat
    My wooden spoons work just fine since the hubs is totally skeeved out my the feeling of holding/using a wooden spoon... so they're ALL gluten free... haha.
  25. luvs2eat
    Seriously, Dianaw!! I was almost teary at the thought of being able to have a burger (w/ a Udi's bun) AND fries.
