    I'm from eastern PA... not far from Philadelphia... about 10 miles from where George and the boys beat the crap out of those Hessians ... they renact it every Christmas day. Did my new signature come thru? I am technology-challenged, to put it mildly!! edited to add... woo-hoo!! It did!!

    My daughter was a manager at a Macaroni Grill in suburban Philadelphia and they had a family who were "regulars" with a celiac child. They would use a clean pot (beware the constantly boiling restaurant pasta pot) and cook this little girl some gluten free pasta so she could enjoy eating out with her parents. Has anyone asked? And what's the response you...

    Funny I should see this today... I work for an insurance company and am handling a claim for a person with diarrhea, unexplained weight loss, bloating, etc... and the doc's done lots of blood/stool/urine tests... all neg. of course... and I'm thinking... WHERE'S THE CELIAC BLOOD WORK?? It ain't there... and, of course, there's nothing I can do!!

    I actually found the english muffin rings at amazon .com! I went to google and punched in "english muffin rings" and it sent me to amazon. i checked out some of the other sites, but the ones at amazon looked like the best deal. They should be here early next week... I'll let you know how they work out! I'm also intrigued about the "enhancer." What's it...

    Oooh... I just ordered "english muffin rings" ... I'm hoping that will help make smaller uniform sandwich rolls. I am a happy camper!!

    When I was diagnosed (2+ years ago), I'd only had symptoms for several months, but when my doc told me I had Celiac Disease and I read what it can do to your small intestine, I very simply stopped eating wheat/gluten. This may sound dumb... but it never occured to me that I had a choice to "cheat" and hurt myself... I just stopped eatihg wheat/gluten and...

    I'm inclined to agree about taking the hospital dietician to task. Geez... you're IN there for a severe reaction to wheat and they give you wheat?? What's the diff betw. that and giving someone with a life-treatening allergy a whopping dose of penicillin?? Someone would fry for that!! That's sort of my nightmare... that I end up in a nursing home someday...

    I (or someone ELSE) accidentally threw away a loaf of bread that contained the little paddle that mixes the bread!! So now, I only have one paddle and my other bread well is useless. I've scoured the direction booklet (that had a TON of typos in it... anyone else notice that??) and can not find an address to call and order another paddle. Does anyone...

    Good idea about the reducing the liquid a little. My other problem is slicing the bread uniformly... guess I'll have to break down and buy that knife on tv that you can "dial" the same thickness... haha. Like I said before... I ate an awesome sandwich for lunch every day last week. I am in hog heaven!!!

    I'm with you guys... simple, basic food is not hard to cook and easy to find without wheat or gluten. The operative word here is READ... read every single label... EVERY single label... so who knew the second ingredient in red licorice is wheat? They stick wheat, modified food starch, and malt derivitives in so many things... I've stood in the soup...

    ARCHIVED Foot Cramps

    luvs2eat replied to jaimek's topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    I get them too... strange ones that seem to involve the muscles on the top part of my foot... a place that seems to "thin" to have lots of muscle. I even tried the bar of soap under my sheet between my feet as I read in the newspaper was helpful to some... haha... did nothing for me!

    No bread machine. I used my big mixer and a regular loaf pan. When it came out of the over, I did invert it and sort of sat it inside the loaf pan and the "puffed up" top sort of held it up... kind of like you'd do with an angel food cake. First real sandwich I've had in more than 2 years!! I was a tad put off when I first saw the batter... it looked...

    Well, I'm completely HOOKED on Manna from Anna!! I made a loaf on Sunday and sliced it and froze portions. I've been bringing a real honest-to-goodness SANDWICH to work every day... on TOASTED bread that doesn't crumble. I'm in hog heaven!!!

    Last year, I signed up for a seminar for Celiacs given by our local hospital. The room was pretty darn full of other Celiacs and I was so looking forward to getting some support and recipes. The woman conducting the seminar gave out a 5-page list of "Not Alloweds" and I thought to myself... now how many who've been diagnosed with celiac disease hasn't...

    My doc said the same thing as yours did, cdford... he told me unequivocally that my blood work showed celiac disease and that I should immediately go gluten-free, which I did. He said that if I didn't see improvement, then, and only then, would he do an endoscopy. I was a gluten-free fanatic... and it still took a year for my system to get happy again.

    I've not had much luck with any recipes I've tried, with the exception of Bette Hagman's pizza crust in her book. I don't think I'll buy it often... I've gotten used to just doing without bread... but it's nice to know it's there!!

    From the day I was diagnosed, I did not let a MORSEL of gluten pass my lips, knowingly. I just switched to "real food," meaning that I ate plain meats, seasoned by me, fresh fruits and veggies, rice and potatoes. I only ate baked goods I made myself. I'd been a label reader for years, so while shopping was time consuming, it wasn't too hard. All that...

    Um... I think ice cream is a medical necessity... as are chocolate and martinis and french fries. In fact, I think Haagan Daaz Swiss Vanilla with Almonds ice cream is essential to my health!! (just kidding)

    I'm partial to brown rice pasta... I find it tastes the closest to regular pasta. None of them reheat so well, but at the first meal, no one in my house can tell the difference betw. brown rice pasta and the old wheat pasta.
  21. luvs2eat
    Well... as soon as I received the Manna from Anna, I made some rolls and a small loaf with the first mix! It is delicious and I brought one of the rolls for lunch today to have with tuna fish!! Eureka!!
  22. luvs2eat
    I just ordered some. I'm crossing everything that it's as good as y'all say!!

    What obstacles do people with Celiac disease face? i.e. at work, at home, traveling etc. I don't face so many at work. A coworker's aunt is a celiac. It's not hard for me to say, "No thanks, no cookies, etc. for me." Traveling is only hard if you don't speak the language and can't ask about gluten-free foods in restaurants, etc. It is quite amazing...

    I'll have to reluctantly agree. Luckily, I loved to cook before being diagnosed and was already a label reader (I didn't like giving my kids crap) so I pretty much knew what I couldn't have before I got all the lists of No-Nos. But what happened to me is that when I was diagnosed, I was so upset at not being able to have bread, beer, etc. etc. again that...
