    So... did you try them ILOVEOMC? And how did you like them? This recipe looks great!! I'm gonna try them too.
  2. luvs2eat
    Risotto... in any way, shape, or form. It's simple to make and who doesn't love sticky, cheesy rice?? I love polenta... also easy to make.

    The only specialty foods I buy are Manna from Anna bread mixes (by the case) and brown rice pastas. Everything else is regular whole food. Those two items are more expensive, but I only use one bread mix a week and don't have pasta that often either. Altho... I'm not trying to feed kids. I can only imagine how difficult that is!!

    I'm with SharonF... I'd have spoken to the manager. Would they react the same way if it was a kid with a peanut allergy and the mom was asking those questions? I think not. I've been super lucky lately. The last several times I've gone out to eat, I've had a waitperson who knows someone with celiac disease! They've been very supportive and helpful......

    Believe it or not... I've found that the cheaper store brands of things like BBQ sauce and spaghetti sauce have less crappy ingredients and added modified food starch than many of the fancier brands. I always look there first.

    I'm the only one in my family... altho my brother or sister refuse to be tested. They have, I'm sure, the derm part of celiac and because they can take meds (for eczema, etc) they're not willing to give up their yummy breads. My daughter was just diagnosed.

    And I'm thinking that the 1 in 333 will soon be 1 in way less than 333. It seems more cases are diagnosed every day... just look at the membership on this board! It astounds me how many new folks come every day with a brand new diagnosis.
  8. luvs2eat
    Maybe both, but definitely from my mom. I think my sister and brother had the DH form, but are not interested in being tested as there are meds for skin stuff... even tho I've explained the small intestine damage, they're not interested. Yikes!

    Dang... I was hoping I'd stumbled on to why I can't lose weight... other than the fact that I EAT too much. haha No constipation whatsoever! I drink plenty of water... exercise (more recently)... eat 2 Viactiv calcium chews a day. My babe of a significant other is flabbergasted that I don't go every day!! I don't give it a thought... till...

    I've been gluten-free for 3 years. I didn't lose weight initially... I attributed that to my swift diagnosis. I started gaining weight. At first I attributed that to eating TONS of food I was allowed to eat to compensate (in my brain) for all that I can never have again. Once I got over that... I ate more normally and continue to eat well (lots of fruits...

    I'm a frozen blueberries and yogurt kind of gal. I throw the blubes in a small container and take 'em to work. After a few hours, the blubes are defrosted just enough and have kept the tiny yogurt just cold enough.

    I sent her some Manna from Anna bread mixes... that's been my greatest find so far!! Interestingly, her doctor told her she was LUCY to be diagnosed at 25 (I wondered if it wasn't like telling the bride it's good luck when it pours rain on her wedding day... ha) because she will avoid many problems in the future by going gluten-free now... like unexplained...
  13. luvs2eat
    The same thing happened to me after I'd been gluten-free for less than a year. I was so excited... and thought maybe I could "plan" a wicked good cheat maybe once a month. Didn't even get to try it out though... cause the longer I was gluten-free, the more sensitive I became. Now I don't even dare try it.
  14. luvs2eat
    I dream!! I read an article recently about a restaurant in NYC that serves gluten-free pizza and beer! Her diagnosis is definite. Luckily she loves to cook... I swear that was my saving grace... knowing how many foods are made and what to avoid at restaurants, etc. It's an ongoing education. I told her to get herself in here ASAP as this is where...

    Homemade risotto... gotta love sticky rice and cheese.
  16. luvs2eat
    I've had people ask me, "Can't you just eat a LITTLE??" I tell them that I can... if I want molten acid shooting out my butt. Ha ha... it's graphic, but it makes my point.
  17. luvs2eat
    Thanks for the info, celiac3270, and you're right, of course, Viola... it's just that I hate to see my kids go thru what I've gone thru... and on the other hand... I've said in other threads that, given the horrors that can happen to people on any given day ... this is nothing. Her endoscopy looked negative. The biopsy will tell... or will it?? told her...
  18. luvs2eat
    My only real symptom was diarrhea (foul smelling and with undigested fat...sorry to be graphic) ... unrelenting for 2 months and maybe occasionally before that. Also, after I ate, I'd sit and listen to what sounded like a tornado in my belly... no pain... just lots of noise. (edited to add that when I saw my GI for the first time, he asked me if I had...
  19. luvs2eat
    My middle daughter is having an endoscopy tomorrow... her bloodwork was inconclusive... altho from her symptoms, I'm certain she's a Celiac. Of all the things to pass on to my kids!! One got my acne and fibrocystic boobs, one got my tendency toward pilonidal cysts, and the one who loves to bake bread, just like her mother, gets the Celiac. I was really...
  20. luvs2eat
    I seem to be becoming more sensitive as I remain gluten-free. But it really takes a clear glutinizing for me to feel unwell.
  21. luvs2eat
    I never felt really poorly... just had unrelenting diarrhea and such a noisy belly, it used to make us laugh!! I was a huge gluten eater!! Making different breads was my fav baking time. The longer the diarrhea went on tho... it was beginning to feel like ACID shooting out of me (sorry for the graphics), and as I've said on here before... it took an entire...

    I bought this nifty "as seen on TV" knife that has a dial to dial the thickness of the slice I want. I got it at Bed, Bath, and Beyond for only about $4.00. I make my Manna from Anna bread and wait till it's completely cooled. Then I slice the entire loaf and put 2 slices in each zip-lock bag and freeze.
  23. luvs2eat
    Make him come into the bathroom with you after you've been glutenized! That'd make a supportive person out of anyone who was with ME!! haha

    Oh my, Jnkmnky... all those sound wonderful!! I always brown bag it too... or pick up salad at the salad bar at the local grocery. I make Manna from Anna bread and slice it into slices when it's cool and freeze it in 2 slice bags. I toast it and make awesome sandwiches to pack... or I just roll up meat and cheese to dip in a little salad dressing or mustard...

    I've had those lovely moths in flours and corn meal. If you bring any flours home from the store and put them in the freezer for 24 hours, you'll kill any of the little "wormies" that turn into the moths and then they should be fine on the shelf for a while.
