    I had serious positive blood work (like my doc said he'd never seen such positive numbers) and went immediately gluten-free. I had a need to have an endoscopy several years later for GERD issues and it was reported that I had celiac changes in my small intestines. I'd been gluten-free for several years. I would say that if you have tested positive in a celiac...

    I was diagnosed very quickly (like 3 months from my very first symptoms)... so not only did I NOT lose any weight... I GAINED about 40 pounds in the next year happily eating all the foods I COULD eat to make up for all the foods I could no longer eat!! AAARRRGGGHHHHHH!!!

    YUM! The very best gluten-free cupcake I ever had sounds just like this recipe... incredibly moist and chocolatey. I'm going to try them with the frosting they had... mocha buttercream... and then dipped in chocolate ganache. Holy cow, was it good!!

    This was from a Wife Swap where the swapped wife tried to throw out this young man's bacon. Cracks me up every time I see it!!

    I made my own blends when I first had to go gluten-free (10 years ago) but am thrilled not to have to store (and purchase!) all those different kinds of flours! Now I'm a huge fan of Better Batter flour that I buy online. I've not tried a lot of cakes or cookies but the pie crusts I make are delicious and the dough rolls out really well.

    I don't remember why I went to The Olive Garden website, but when I did I saw their few gluten-free offerings. Then I saw a place for recipes. I looked in there and they had not one, not two, but THREE recipes for risotto that were totally gluten-free (I make risotto at home all the time)! I emailed them and told them how excited I was and asked if they used...

    Oh... trust me... you're not the first and won't be the last. I've been doing this for TEN years... and picked up a bag of Rudi's (Rudy's??) hot dog buns thinking that all of Rudi's offerings were gluten-free. Two hours after I ate, I spent the next 3-4 hours sicker than I've ever been. The next morning I read the bag... WHEAT hot dog buns.

    My daughter found them and asked to see the store manager. She told him, "I just need to hug somebody!!" But at $10 a box??? Yikes!

    I'm a huge BB fan. For pancakes I've used and really liked Pamela's pancake and waffe mix.

    I took some leftover bread and grated it w/ a box grater so the "shards" were pretty big. Then I toasted it all and have what I think is gluten-free panko.

    My daughter was so happy to find a box of gluten-free matzoh. She said it was $10 per box... I'd totally pay $10 per box!!

    I had a meal in a pretty fancy restaurant (can't remember the name) and many of the offerings were listed as gluten free. I asked them specifically, as they had several fried things, if their french fries... which were listed as gluten-free... were fried in the same oil as the other fried things they offered and they told me they were. I told them that they...

    I had a weak positive ANA about 3 or 4 years into my gluten-free journey. My doc said it was a Lupus marker. I was freaked!! She sent me to a rheumatologist. I saw him 3 times in 18 months... he took lots of blood and felt lots of my joints and found nothing unusual and let me go.

    My youngest daughter had such an extreme celiac beginning... she spent more than a year eating nothing but: eggs white rice cauliflower plain chicken and salmon apples And this list took her months to figure out. She reacted to every class of veggies, most fruits, and anything processed. She's finally able to eat lots more foods, but will always...

    I seem to be out of the "normal." I had no symptoms whatsoever until I was about 49. I had an iron stomach and could eat anything. At 49, I developed unrelenting diarrhea... up once or twice a night... and belly noises you could hear across a room. I used to say I had wolverines in there fighting to get out! I had no pain, no nausea, no other symptoms at...

    I'm a huge fan of Better Batter flour. You can google tons of Glutenfree on a Shoe String recipes... she uses BB exclusively. I've done the mixing of flours and it's a PITA (pain in the a$$). BB flour is cup for cup but I use GFSS's recipes. They're good!! I didn't bake much for years, but have been enjoying it lately!!

    The last time I was glutened (only the 4th time in 10 years!) I began throwing up about 2 hours later. For the next 3 hours, I sat on the john and threw up countless times (I don't get why the stomach keeps trying to empty when it's obvious there's nothing left in there!) while the gluten did its best to get out of my body from both ends. My glutening was...

    I've had really good luck baking w/ Better Batter flour... an all-purpose, cup-for-cup gluten free flour. I have to order it online as I live in the middle of nowhere. Open Original Shared Link is my fave site for baking. Enjoy!

    My niece visited from France in October and gave me a small jar of onion confit. That's my new obsession!! Can't wait to make it! I used it just like I did the bacon jam.

    I'd be tempted to bring a flourless chocolate torte w/ chocolate ganache garnished w/ raspberries. Yum. Brazilian cheese rolls (made w/ tapioca flour) are a super appetizer too! Recipes for both are all over the internet.

    I missed perogies so much I made what I called a perogie casserole... mashed potatoes w/ lots of flavor and cheese and pasta mixed in... more cheese on top and bake. It was to die for... and something I only allow myself on RARE occasions cause I'll eat the whole thing at one sitting!!

    I've not had good experiences at Chili's... the only chain of that type in my town. I'm pretty sure the Shiner Bock ribs are NOT on the gluten-free menu... cause Shiner Bock beer would be used in the sauce, right?? The time before the last time I was there, I went thru the whole gluten-free thing w/ the manager and wait person only to be halfway thru my...

    I love ALL the characters but most especially Maggie Smith... but I love her in everything she does.

    I made bacon jam this Christmas. I didn't use bourbon but it was to die for!! What a (RICH) delicious treat!! We enjoyed it on crackers or bread and I used it on pizza. YUM.

    I'm no rookie and got majorly glutened when I assumed all of Rudy's stuff was gluten-free. It just made me remember that no matter where they place stuff, I still need to read the labels. WalMart in my town has no gluten-free section!
