    When I was first diagnosed ...and pretty much till folks here set me STRAIGHT... I was kind of embarrassed to make an "issue" of my dietary matters. I did eat things I wasn't supposed to ... scraping the filling out of a cheesecake, etc... so I wouldn't make OTHERS feel uncomfortable. It was when a friend of mine who uses insulin to manage her diet rather...

    I know this happens to everyone, but it never fails to make my mouth fall open!! The father-in-law of a friend has been diagnosed w/ Celiac and has esophageal cancer (from undiagnosed Celiac and GERD, he claims... he will not acknowledge the possibility of a life-long smoking habit contributing, but I digress!) So, my daughter and I brought some delicious...

    Me too!! (LOVE babies!) I drank beer w/ one of my kids cause I didn't think I was making enough milk... till a friend told me that iced tea would do the same thing... it's a diuretic! Drink TONS of liquid and keep letting the baby nurse. I hope it works out for you... but try not to stress if it doesn't.

    I don't know, erbetty, if the corn bread can be made in a regular pan. I've only used a cast iron skillet. You owe it to yourself to get one... you can get one in Kmart for less than $10. It really MAKES the corn bread!!

    The CSA is saying that the only RISK-FREE choice is not to eat them. You risk a reaction if you choose to eat them.

    I was like you... my reactions after eating gluten weren't severe. After I'd been gluten-free for a year, I melted and wolfed down a huge slice of homemade wheat bread w/ butter as family stood around yelling "NOOOOOO!" Guess what? Nothing happened!! I was pulling the burger off the roll and picking the coutons off my salad. Now it seems like I can be...

    Manna from Anna bread mix fan here! They're easy to make and I make a loaf and 3 rolls in English muffin rounds from each mix. I freeze all the rolls and when the loaf is completely cooled, I use the knife that slices uniform slices (I got it on sale for about $4. at Bed, Bath, and Beyond years ago) and freeze 2 slices in their own zip lock. I take them out...

    My cornbread recipe has never contained flour and it's straight from my friend's grandmother from Alabama! Put a few tablespoons of oil in a cast iron skillet and put it in a 400º oven to preheat. Mix 1 cup of cornmeal 1 egg 1 cup milk 1/4 cup sugar 1 tablespoon baking powder Mix well and pour in HOT skillet (it'll sizzle a little so be careful)...

    [[There is an incredible recipe for Yellow Cake in the book by Annalise Roberts, gluten-free Baking Classics. ]] I ordered this cookbook and made the yellow cake this past weekend. I was delicious!! It's the best flour mixture I've found for cakes (brown rice flour, potato starch, tapioca flour).

    I've heard that Bard's is way better than Ramapo Valley... I was too excited to find the website and started clicking the BUY button!! Only to find out they won't ship to PA!! AARRRGGGGHHHH!!

    I am A+, as is my ex-husband... so imagine my surprise when my middle daughter, who is also a celiac, told me she is O+? Two A+'s don't necessarily add up to all A+ kids.

    ARCHIVED Fiance

    I was going to suggest making him go w/ you into the bathroom... but you don't seem to have the molten acid volcanic explosions I have when I am glutened. THAT would make anyone believe that celiac ain't in my head!! ha ha

    I make these every holiday time when I can get the kids to come and roll balls ... a recipe makes a ton!! I freeze 'em and have 'em for months!! Gotta love chocolate and peanut butter!!
  14. luvs2eat
    I was thinking that being gluten-free is just not that big a deal (once you get the hang of it), but if your son has not been definitely diagnosed and you are separated w/ a husband who doesn't agree w/ the whole gluten-free thing... a definitive diagnosis might be necessary. I like the idea of a MEDIC ALERT bracelet for kids w/ celiac... it makes it...

    ARCHIVED Applebees

    luvs2eat replied to Lister's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    Another bad experience at Applebees here. I went thru the whole litany of what I could NOT have on my salad... no croutons, no bread anywhere, nothing that might have contained flour in its lifetime... So, I get to the bottom of this shrimp salad bowl to find a pile of chinese noodles! I called the waitress over and pointed to them and asked, "What do...

    Really good sounding idea for kids. Teachers and parents are so much more likely to believe an Emergency ID bracelet than just saying your child can't eat wheat, etc. How many say, "Oh, just a little won't hurt."

    All of us kids were allergic to eggs when we were babies. I'd read that early introduction of solids was related to allergies, so I didn't start my kids on solids till they were 6 months old... before that, nothing but boob juice. Even then... no eggs or meat or citrus till at least a year. I made ALL my own baby food. I was the only one my mom nursed...

    I'm a Books-on-celiac disease freak. As soon as I'm done w/ one, I'm back at the (FREE) library getting another! Right now I'm listening to actress Blair Brown read Isabele Allende's Zorro to me. It's awesome!

    I just spent the better part of 2 years using Penlac nail lacquer... a prescription nail polish... for fungus. Mine blossomed after the trauma of accidentally jamming a huge needle in to my foot that required surgical removal. The foot doc told me that everyone has the fungus... he said if he swabbed the inside of any shoe, he'd find it... but it's a trauma...

    Holy Moley!! There are some awesome recipes on there! I'm getting SO hungry just reading them!!!

    I tried several recipes at home... at least two of Bette Hagman's. They were a lot of work... tasted okay for the first slice or two... texture wasn't so good. I'm Manna from Anna's biggest fan. I order the mixes by the case... make a loaf and a few rolls (in english muffin rounds)... slice the loaf and freeze 'em.

    Recently joined WW (again!!) and have been going for 2 weeks. I've lost almost 6 lbs. and am so encouraged. I've cut out my fav Manna from Anna bread just until I can get a handle on dieting ... and other things like rice and potatoes. When I was diagnosed w/ Celiac, I hadn't lost any weight and proceeded to put on about 30 lbs. thoroughly enjoying the...

    I used to tell people it was wolverines trying to scream their way out of me! My daughter calls the noise her alien baby... haha.

    Another lunchbox and ice pack user here. I bring my breakfast and lunch to work every day and have several paks in the freezer.

    I'm interested because last night I could NOT keep my legs still when I went to bed. Sometimes in the evening, I'll find that I can't keep my lower legs still and have to move and stretch them almost constantly... and of course it almost ALWAYS happens on long plane flights... but this was the first time it happened when I went to bed! There's no pain...
