ARCHIVED Lays Chips
luvs2eat replied to lizzy's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Kettle cooked Lays are so good, I'm sorry my daughter even GAVE them to me!! Now I have to stay away cause I'm trying to lose weight... (I didn't get the weight loss symptom of celiac disease...) -
ARCHIVED What's Your Favorite Cereal?
luvs2eat replied to WGibs's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I LOVE cereal and was going to start hunting down these brands... but the reality is that I have a real problem with cereal and portion control. I can quite happily eat the whole box at one sitting!!! haha So, I guess I'll stick with my yogurt and banana on work days and my bacon and eggs on the weekends! -
ARCHIVED Bar Be Que Sauce
luvs2eat replied to lizzy's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Oh man... we just found Bone Suckin' Sauce... it's delish! I've found that often the "store brand" of things like BBQ sauce and spaghetti sauce have better ingredients than the big name brands. Often the big name brands will have modified food starch and high fructose corn syrup (which doesn't have anything to do with celiac disease but is just a sugar... -
ARCHIVED Good Bread?
luvs2eat replied to Susan123's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
After trying several OTC breads and several from scratch recipes, Manna from Anna bread mix is my fav. I make it once a week or so. I also make it sometimes in English muffin rounds for rolls. Check her out at mannafromanna.com -
ARCHIVED Anyone Else Do This At The Grocery Store?
luvs2eat replied to voyager's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I got the list, celiac3270! Thanks a million!! I still pick up things I KNOW are not gluten free and think... maybe THIS time it will be... hahaha. I'm so lucky that those who love me also can and do read ingredients before they buy them to cook with. -
Irish and Scottish on both sides.

I too got zapped somewhere over the holidays. I made seafood and was so careful not to bread anything and all sauces were made by me. I can't figure it out, but boy... are my intestines mad at me!
-
All the hot wings recipes I have contain flour. I've never liked them, so it's not a prob... but the flour was in the hot sauce, not dusted on the chicken itself.

ARCHIVED Bipolar Disorder And Gluten Free Diet
luvs2eat replied to a topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Reading this thread with interest, as my middle daughter who was recently diagnosed with Celiac Disease is trying to find the right combo of meds for her bipolar, which is also fairly new and SCARY (for her mom anyhow!). She's finding the whole gluten-free lifestyle hard to embrace and I'm so thankful I've been dealing with it long enough to be able to give... -
I stopped licking envelopes when I read the medical article about the person who got the tinest paper cut when licking an envelope and there were eggs on the glue and an insect of some sort (roach??) started growing in his lip!! Blech!!

ARCHIVED Breast-feeding Reduces Risk Of Celiac Disease
luvs2eat replied to celiachap's topic in Publications & Publicity
I read this yesterday... just ANOTHER good reason to nurse your babies!! I also read that if you're still breastfeeding when you introduce cereal to your baby, the chances of celiac disease are less. -
ARCHIVED Ana Tests
luvs2eat replied to danikali's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Yea, I was lucky to be diagnosed so quickly... altho now I laugh when I tell people about it and say, "the first symptoms is unexplained weight loss... um... I didn't get that one!" When I went to the rheumatologist, he explained it all so well to me. He said that my body is like a country (I asked if that was some kind of sick FAT joke?? haha). My immune... -
ARCHIVED Ana Tests
luvs2eat replied to danikali's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
My symptoms were unrelenting diarrhea and belly noises that sounded like wolverines were fighting in there!! I had no pains or other sickness. I thought I'd picked up some sort of parasite! The doc gave me a course of Flagyl, the med for "bugs" and did blood work and a colonoscopy. The results were SO positive, I didn't have an endo. I'd only had my symptoms... -
ARCHIVED Dreary Statistic!
luvs2eat replied to CMCM's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I am certain that my sister and brother have the DH form but both refuse to be tested because there are medicines they can take for their rashes. My sister lives in France and isn't about to give up that awesome bread. I'm trying to make them understand that even tho the medicine helps the rash... their intestines are still being compromised, even if they... -
ARCHIVED Endoscopy & Colonoscopy
luvs2eat replied to Rae's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I'm wondering (hope I'm not hijacking your post here!) why doctors recommend colonoscopy rather than endoscopy? My doc told me to get a colonoscopy and on that day gave me the results of my bloodwork. I went gluten-free that day... and because my bloodwork was SO positive, I didn't do the endoscopy. Wouldn't an endo be more diagnostic (biopsy) than a colonoscopy... -
ARCHIVED Need Dough Recipe
luvs2eat replied to maryann's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I can't begin to tell you how excited I am to try these recipes!! I thought perogies were a flavor of my past never to be enjoyed again!! -
ARCHIVED Green Bean Casserole... How Do You Make It gluten-free?
luvs2eat replied to Jnkmnky's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I made them this weekend so I could try it out! I sliced onions thinly (I'll do a tad thicker next time) and soaked them in milk (I might try buttermilk next time). Then I dredged them in cornstarch and fried 'em till they were crispy. I drained them on papertowels and hit 'em with salt and pepper while hot. The reason I'd go a tad thicker on the... -
ARCHIVED I Tried Stuffing A Chicken...
luvs2eat replied to luvs2eat's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I toasted the cubes in a 350º oven for about 30 min. I kept opening up the oven and tasting the cubes till they were crisp and dry. I sprinkled them with a mixture of about 1/2 a teaspoon each of poultry seasoning and sage. Then I added more of each in the making of the stuffing. -
I have so NOT lost weight in the 3 years I've been gluten-free. I was diagnosed quickly too and hadn't lost weight with gastrointestinal symptoms... but I can not get this extra 20 lbs I gained after going gluten-free off!! At this point, I'm exercising a lot more just so I can get into a little better shape and stay flexible!

ARCHIVED Ana Tests
luvs2eat replied to danikali's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I believe there is a connection. I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease in 2002 and about a year later my doc called after my routine physical and told me my ANA was elevated. She told me it was a "marker" for LUPUS, which is like the MOTHER of all autoimmune disorders. She sent me to a rheumatologist, who sent me for about a million blood tests (all negative... -
ARCHIVED I Tried Stuffing A Chicken...
luvs2eat posted a topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Well, my experiment was a success! I baked a loaf of Manna from Anna bread and cubed and toasted it. Then I added sauteed onions and celery with Poultry seasoning and sage and chiken broth and stuffed that bird. The only difference I noticed between this and the good old Pepperidge Farm stuffing is that gluten-free bread doesn't get "glue-y" when it's... -
ARCHIVED gluten-free Bread Stuffing Recipe
luvs2eat replied to tammy's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I'm going to try stuffing made from Manna from Anna bread inside a chicken this weekend before I attempt to stuff the big turkey. I'll let you know how it goes! Plus, I'm hoping to make a casserole of corn bread dressing to serve on the side. Maybe the 3rd time's the charm!
