    Sorry, mytummyhurts... I was trying to be funny about the Lupus blood tests. The rheumatologist ordered this whole battery of tests and it took 9 vials of blood to do them all. The guy sitting across from me asked if they were gonna leave me any blood??? haha He tested everything blood might tell him and examined me, asking questions about every single...

    I read about everyone's doctors... and wonder if I should be seeing my GI on a regular basis. To be honest, I saw him exactly twice... once to be examined and schedule my blood work and again to have my colonoscopy. He told me then that he had good news and bad news. The good news was that he knew what was causing my unrelenting diarrhea... the bad news...

    Count me in on the Manna from Anna fan club. I make a loaf once a week in my Kitchen Aid mixer and let the loaf cool completely before slicing it and freezing the slices in zip lock bags (2 slices in a bag). Then I toast them for the most awesome sandwiches. It is BY FAR the best bread I've had since being diagnosed. I also buy 2 cases at a time. www...

    That rat poison example is a really good illustration to explain the gluten-free diet... It's a pain to have to ask all the time what's in stuff... cause it seems to me 9 times out of 10, there's something in stuff that I can't have when we're at friend's... and it makes THEM feel so bad. I hope you feel better soon too!!

    My heart goes out to you... as you have access to the best, most delicious bread on the planet... and you can't eat it! I'm certain that my sister, who also lives in France, probably has wheat issues (more of the skin rash forms) but she's not willing to give up her french bread when she can take medicines for her skin conditions! Give it more time...

    Sometimes I don't cope so well and get really mad about not being able to have that pizza... to add insult to injury... I didn't eat pizza for 17 years cause it was the ONE food I couldn't even smell when I was pregnant. I finally started eating it again years after kids ... had just discovered Pizza Hut's pizza with the crust stuffed with cheese, when I...

    By the time the hospital nutritionist called me back, I was giving HER information. Like other have said, I was one who loved to cook for many years and knew a lot about what goes into foods and recipes. I went to a program at our hospital and was so surprised to see so many Celiacs in the room. This dopey woman spent an hour pushing her "feng shui" business...

    Wait... maltodextrin in foods manufactured in the U.S. are always gluten-free??

    Yea, I had that conversation with my friend who has diabetes and just shoots some more insulin when she eats stuff she's not supposed to. I told her that there is no "shooting" for me. A little cheat results in MOLTEN ACID comin' out my butt... it's not worth whatever's being served!!

    Sorry BamBam... I've not been in here for a while.... I did answer you via email, but for anyone else... I use the English muffin rounds all the time. I found that you can't HEAP the mix in there or you'll get a huge roll all puffed up at the top. I put in a heaping spoonful of mix and spread it so it's pretty flat across. It rises to just the right height...

    When I was newly diagnosed, I often took them twice a day. My doc told me they were not habit forming and to take them according to the directions on the package for as long as I needed. I didn't need them too long, but I too have bottles and packets in old pocketbooks and cabinets!! haha

    Man... am I in the same boat... to the tune of about 25 pounds!! I started making the yummiest homemade risotto... who doesn't like cheesy, sticky rice?? I don't even want to FIND gluten-free goodies on the shelves!!

    I'm a HUGE fan of Manna from Anna bread mix. I make it in English muffin rounds and have awesome rolls for sandwiches. It holds up better than any other bread I've tried!
  14. luvs2eat
    I too feel your pain. I miss bread... homemade bread, made from flour, water, yeast, and salt... not 50 obscure ingredients that end up with each slice weighing a ton and so crumbly that it can't hold a sandwich! I miss cracking open an ice cold beer. Like my friend says... just cause the neighbor has cancer doesn't make your toothache hurt any LESS...

    Giving up the beautiful yeasty breads that I was so fond of making at home has been the HARDEST for me... so I feel your pain. I'll have to echo an earlier poster. I'm a huge fan of Manna from Anna bread mix (www.mannafromanna.com). I've tried probably every store bought bread and 5 different bread recipes over the last 3 years and find them all gritty...

    I recently used potato flour to make a white sauce (butter, flour, milk) and it was very good. The flour required was a small amount, so I'm not sure about substituting it for something as substantial as bread. Bette Hagman's recipe for a good flour is not equal parts. Not sure what the amounts are as I don't have the book in front of me... but I do know...

    Yea, I've only heard of it to predict a baby's sex. I'm thinkin'... if I did it over a Pizza Hut 3-cheese stuffed crust pizza... it would tell ME it was okay to eat!!!

    Yea, Immodium is my friend too.

    I always tell folks that if I can't read all the ingredients that were used to prepare something, then I can't eat it. And I bring rice crackers and rice cakes with me most of the time! I can't tell you how many times I've been told there's no wheat in stuff... I went to a party where the hostess insisted there as no wheat in the soup and I went to ladle...

    I just read that there appears to be a small window where, if you feed your baby wheat/gluten... at about 4-6 months... you may be able to PREVENT future celiac disease??? I told my kids that they were screwed... cause I went out of my way NOT to give them foods that are common to allergies. I didn't give them eggs, wheat, milk, citrus, or meat until...

    Our favorite appetizer at our fav mexican restaurant is a cheese and sausage mixture that I recently found a simple recipe for. Just brown up some chorizo sausage and crumble it in the bottom of a pie plate. Cover it with lots of shredded meunster cheese and broil till the cheese is bubbly and browned. Serve with tortilla chips. Delish!!!

    Don't forget good 'ole rice cakes. I used them for bread for a long time. They work well in lunch boxes too... easy to spread a little tuna or egg salad on!

    Count me as one who's gained weight! Ugh! Eating out will be a challenge... especially if you're not a cook and don't know how things are made. But eating at home can be easier. Just cruise around this site and read lots of different posts. Folks here have great ideas and have done so much of the work FOR us! There are even lots of convenience type...

    It only took about 3-4 months before I wasn't eating Immodium like candy, but it took a whole year before I found my bowel function to be "back to normal." And now... I do not move my bowels as often... sometimes it's 2 or 3 days before I have to go. You're so right... bowel discussions are hard... hahaha.

    I make my Manna from Anna bread in English Muffins rounds. When they're cool, I freeze them in as airtight a ziploc as I can manage. I can take one out, slice it, and make my sandwich and pack it for work. When it's lunch time, my "sammy" is defrosted and YUMMY.
