  1. ... um... DUH... ha ha ha
  2. I did... about a year after going gluten-free I scarfed a huge slice of homemade bread and had NO effects. I thought perhaps I could "plan" a cheat about once a month. The next time I tried it, tho... I had to ride in the car for hours and was none to happy to the noises my intestines were making. I gave up the "planned" cheat idea.
  3. I've signed up for emails from Wegman's... a new store is opening in the next few weeks near me. They're offering recipes for Celiacs and those w/ lactose intolerance and other food issues. The first recipe they offered for Celiacs included gorgonzola cheese. I rated the recipe w/ a low score even tho I'd never made it just so I could review it and...
  4. Scampi is really just fish (shrimp/scallops, etc) sauteed in butter w/ garlic. It should be okay... ... BUT... I always ask how things are prepared... and if they balk like they don't know, I ask them to please ask the chef if any flour of any kind is used or any kind of thickening agent. I've had success in restaurants where they also serve rice ...
  5. I'm w/ you, mamaw... I am avatar challenged!!
  6. Like everyone's said... it seems daunting at first. All you can see is what you CAN'T eat, when there really are so many things that you can. It turns out what we can eat is REAL food... meats, fruits, veggies. And the rest of the stuff comes later... there are great mixes for breads and cookbooks for baking. You'll most likely find way more info here...

    ARCHIVED "the Trigger"

    Am I the ONLY one who can't pinpoint ONE trigger? I was fine... no symptoms whatsoever... till one day I started having diarrhea... no other symptoms. No pain, bloating... nothing. It just came!
  8. Thanks, Queen... that's just what I thought.
  9. I thought gorgonzola cheese was a no-no for us cause it's a bleu cheese... am I mistaken? Wegman's has an awesome website and puts Celiac recipes on there. But is their appetizer, Gorgonzola-Stuffed Apricots with Bacon, allowed for us??
  10. I see a ROAD TRIP in my future. I was just telling a friend that the best food on earth is a crisply toasted bagel w/ tons of cream cheese, piles of thin slices of LOX, a few rings of red onion and capers!! Man, do I miss that!!
  11. I've gained probably 30 lbs since going gluten-free... it's so frustrating!!
  12. After a year of being (what I thought was ) gluten-free... I made a beautiful crusty loaf of bread that I'd been known for earlier... and my daugher walked in to find me stuffing a huge buttered piece in my mouth. It was like a slow-motion movie... her yelling "N-O-O-O-O-O-O!!" as I chomped down!! Nothing happened!! I thought maybe I could "plan" a cheat...
  13. Can't stand Oprah and don't care one fig what she says about anyone or anything...
  14. My daughter and I went to a lovely tea room for a bridal shower recently... me w/ my handy, dandy lunch box in tow. As everyone was eating these gorgeous tea sandwiches, I took out the tiny egg salad sandwiches I'd made on thinly sliced crustless bread and delicious tomato sammies the same way. My daughter brought some yummy chocolate chip cookies for us...
  15. Huge Manna from Anna fan here.
  16. Wouldn't you think that the "authentic" Mexical restaurant would have 100% corn tortillas?? We went to our fav Mexican place last night that's recently been bought up by another owner... and I (LUCKILY) asked the server to please check that the tortillas served w/ the salsa were indeed corn. He came back and told me that they were now using corn tortillas...
  17. My daughter had inconclusive blood work and a positive endoscopic biopsy.
  18. I'd love to have it too! I've found A. Roberts blend easiest to use and w/ really good results! PM on the way.
  19. My kids live in Phila. and my middle daughter has Celiac. She's found managers to be most cooperative and helpful, especially when she calls ahead and talks to them before rush hour. Her favs are El Vez and any of the Steven Starr restaurants.
  20. Try ONE bag of Manna from Anna's bread mix. You will be hooked. It's the best bread out there... and I tried many recipes!!
  21. Try one Manna from Anna bread mix. You won't believe it and will agree it's the best bread out there!! www.mannafromanna.com
  22. *Best Bread = Manna from Anna mix *Best Bagels = Don't eat 'em... haven't found one. *Best Pasta = Tinkyinada *Best Pizza = Mr. Ritt's frozen crust or Jules in Doylestown, PA *Best Rolls = Manna from Anna mix *Best Crackers = Nut Thins (Almond) *Best Cereal = Gorilla Munch *Best Waffles = Don't eat 'em *Best Donuts = Don't eat 'em...
  23. I've had very good service and food at El Vez, one of the Steven Starr restaurants. The wait staff are most helpful and the food is out of this world!
  24. I think it would be hard to embrace this diet if no symptoms were obvious. My symptoms are obvious so the choice is a no brainer... but I echo what everyone else has said here... there are too many reasons TO follow a gluten-free diet, and not many NOT to.
  25. I have her cookbook and just used Bob's brown rice flour. The butter cake came out DELICIOUS!! I've also made a pie crust that was also DELICIOUS!! The baked goods are not at all gritty tasting!! I'm so happy!!
