ARCHIVED New Here: Tiny Home, Husband Eats Gluten, Etc.
cap6 replied to StainedGlassWindows's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I guess I am wondering why your husband feels the need to have gluten in your home. And why can't he eat the same things as you at home? A nice healthy gluten free meal that would suit a guy as well could be baked chicken with a mustard sauce (no gluten there!), some roasted sweet potato and a veggie. Most spaghetti sauces are gluten free and he probably... -
ARCHIVED How To Respond When People Bring You Food...
cap6 replied to CeliacMommaX2's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I don't accept any food prepared in someone's home as I don't know how exactly they have prepared it. If someone offers I(as mentioned by Kareng) mentioned something in a package that I would enjoy. If they arrive with a food I say thanks, set it aside and then give it to a gluten eating friend. -
We are a 100% gluten free home. My partner was recently diagnosed gluten intolerant so that makes it easier, however we did go 100% at home some time back and she got her fix when we dined out. We recently moved and have a ton of company this summer, mostly grandkids. It has cost us more (and killed the budget) but we have provide all food consumed in...

ARCHIVED Significant Other Who Doesn't Understand :(
cap6 replied to lacey's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
You aren't old Bartfull!! I'm 64. I couldn't agree more with what you said. If he doesn't care about her health and issues now, when they are young, he sure as heck won't when they get older. He'll end up being an old fart only interested in himself.....and will spread crumbs all over the house. eeewww! -
Glutened By Barilla Pasta Sauce
cap6 replied to Bravie's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
All of the above is why I really push for eating whole fresh foods. Nothing processed. There should be no ingregient list to read. Healing is hard enough without subjecting our bodies to other ingredients that don't belong in our food. Heal first then try adding a food product. Just my little food rant for the day! -
Glad to hear about your experience. We are going back to Kauai in Oct for the first time since I was diagnosed (5 years). We too have rented a condo so I can more easily cook. We used to rent a little beach sack but the kitchen was a little too rustic! We plan to hit the Costco for some basics and then the local farmers markets. I used the Find Me Gluten...

ARCHIVED Help Me Pack Snacks For My Trip?
cap6 replied to icelandgirl's topic in Traveling with Celiac Disease
I have a letter from my dr stating that I have celiac and must be allowed to carry my own gluten free food. I had to use it once! They read the letter, gave me a pat-down (!!!) and let me take my food. -
ARCHIVED Labelled As 'gluten Free' But Not Really So?
cap6 replied to Fake Gluten Free's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
If you are in the early stages of healing remember that it is not always a glutening that makes you sick. You may be reacting to other ingredients that are in the food product. If you are having trouble I would encourage you to avoid processed foods and eat the clean natural ones. That way you have no question that what you are eating is safe! -
ARCHIVED Acid Reflux Contuinues... Help!
cap6 replied to Tigercat17's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I agree with the above responses! As the pharmacy to use a clean pill sorter and that will cut out your c.c. chances there. And yes, dairy and soy can cause issues. Costco (Kirkland) brand tuna has no broth and no soy added to it so that could be an option for you. -
ARCHIVED Opinions Wanted On New Product
cap6 replied to Gemini's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
SOunds good to me! Normally I won't eat anything from a shared bakery but since they have separate baking days it sounds like they understand the flying flour in the air thing. Yup. I'd have a cookie. Or two. -
ARCHIVED Gluten-Free Barley? What The Whaaat?
cap6 replied to Pegleg84's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
.Thank you I was only replying to the poster. And, as I stated, my gluten intolerant friends can tolerate it but I would think those who are sensitive would have a problem. -
ARCHIVED Gluten-Free Barley? What The Whaaat?
cap6 replied to Pegleg84's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Here in Oregon we have a beer called Omission. It is barley based but has been highly processed to remove the harmful gluten. I have no idea how they do it but after processing it falls within the considered "safe" zone for gluten. My gluten intolerant partner and two gluten intolerant friends all drink it, love it and have had not issues with it. I, who... -

Glutened By Barilla Pasta Sauce
cap6 replied to Bravie's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Barilla is safe and most likely it was was of the other ingredients in it that bothered you. Possibly even the brand of pasta you used. Corn based pasta can be difficult to digest. Just a thought. -
ARCHIVED What's Your Favorite Gluten Free Restaurant?
cap6 replied to katiesalmons's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
Zydeco Kitchen in downtown Bend, Oregon is awesome and yes, Hoos, one of the owners is celiac. The Athletic Club restaurant in Bend is also owned by Zydeco and is gluten free. And my favorite "fast food" place is in Bend, Orgeon called Spork. Almost everything there is g.f. Tell them you are celiac and they are over the top careful. Don't want to confess... -
It's hard but I won't eat ice cream in a scoop 'em out parlor. A scoop in a cup or tray of water is not enough and overhead droppings into open containers of ice cream is way too possible. If everyone stops at a parlor I usually look for a cooler with packaged ice creams that are ok or soft serve.

ARCHIVED One Year Gluten Free Tomorrow.
cap6 replied to Chibiehotaru's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Congratulations on your one year anniversary! That is a milestone to be celebrated. As stated, you can add a tad of dairy and see if you tolerate it ok. I am at five years and can handle it if I don't eat too much. We all heal at such different levels! -
ARCHIVED Quinoa Reaction?
cap6 replied to Nikki2777's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
My partner can eat white rice but not brown rice or quinoa. Too much fiber -
You have a lot of choices as far as the chain restaurants go. There is Red Robin, OutBack, Carrabba's, the Handlebar Pub & Grill, barro's Pizza, BJ's Brewhouse, P.F. Changs. My dad lives in Apach Junction and we eat out when there.

ARCHIVED (Humor) At Least Martha Stewart Is Trying?
cap6 replied to dopaminegirl's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I do not like that woman. After her making a comment that it wouldn't hurt those with food issues to skip a meal now and then, well, I refuse to purchase anything with her name on it! -
ARCHIVED Should I Get A New Rolling Pin?
cap6 replied to abenedum's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I wouldn't use it. But...if it is really special why not use it as a craft type item. Scrub it good, put hooks in it and hang pot holder from it. I would pintrest for some cool repurposing ideas on it. -
ARCHIVED Suggestions For A Gluten Free And Dairy Free Breakfast. Please Post
cap6 replied to aclebrecht's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I do hard boiled eggs a lot too. Full of lots of protein to start off your day. If you don't want to mess with boiling them you can purchase an egg cooker for under $20 and boil them in that. -
ARCHIVED I Own A Glutened, Gluten Free Bread Machine. Should I Replace?
cap6 replied to sweetzucchini's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I have never had a bread machine so don't know what different parts are. As a general rule if it is plastic and scratched it needs to be replaced (the bowl or whatever the scratched part is). If something is stainless steel as good cleaning and run in the dishwasher asnd it will be safe. -
ARCHIVED Safe (No Cc) Corn Tortillas And Chips
cap6 replied to megsybeth's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
It is more likely that it is the corn itself that is bothering you. Corn is very hard to digest.
