    HA! That almost happened to me at Henry's! My husband grabbed the gluten free $5 marshmallows and said look honey these are gluten free... I picked up the regular ones and so were they Live and learn!

    I make up the flour myself... I bought all the stuff from the asian grocery... Dirt Cheap! I had a hard time with the pie crust the first time... but the second time it turned out nice... I'm not a big crust person but I liked it. My favorite so far is the banana nut muffins. I did the ginger bread cake and didn't like it as much as the real stuff...

    I'm a sero-negative biopsy proven celiac... Ask for the biopsy. Even then... read the results yourself... Alot of doctors won't admit you have celiac... If it comes back as ANY SORT villious blunting, you know you are suffering from mal-absorption of some kind... OR, if you don't need the/ can't get the biopsy... just go gluten free for a few months...

    I bought the second edition and I am so impressed!! She says to use brown rice flour for her mix, but I used white rice flour and didn't notice anything amiss. I've made HOME-MADE muffins!! A cake!!! pop-overs... which for you english people... I added a bit more water and had... YORKSHIRE PUDDING!!! I HIGHLY recommend this book,. but don't eat...

    Does anyone know a store in the San Diego area (preferably north county) where I can buy millet flour? I've tried sprouts, henrys, jimbos, asian grocery store, indian grocery store.... oh and whole foods... Thanks!

    I go out every FRI night with friends for dinner. If they choose a place I can't eat off the menu, I call ahead and say we have a big group and someone with a major food alergy. would they mind if the person brought thier own food and ordered a beverage from them- no one has said no yet. I also have what I call my "freak bag" Its a little zip up lunch...

    I buy rice flour from the asian grocery store... I haven't had a problem yet. Funny enough I went into an Asian grocery store near Boston over the weekend and they had "gluten free" labels on some of the shelves. I totally cracked up. I got buckwheat soba noodles there for a fraction of the cost as well. and the rice noodles... again fraction of the...

    my husband and I have a group of friends who we go out to dinner with most Friday nights and every couple of months we have a pot luck style party at someone's house. We usually have a theme. Whe I was diagnosed with Celiac, I was crushed. I forsaw sitting in the car during dinner nights and not eating at all at the parties. Instead, our friends found...

    I was diagnosed this summer and it DOES get easier- I-Phone has an app called is this gluten free you might want to try. As far as eating out, I made a binder of gluten free menu items from local fast food and resturants in my area and I leave it in my car. That way if I'm out, I know what's safe to eat. I'm curious how you ended up diagnosed with...

    HA HA!! You're a chicken! I was really afraid the first couple of times, but I read the label really carefully (not that that always matters) and I just went for it... I was pretty hungry and very very sick of tuna!

    I'm living in a barracks right now and I've been eating the roasted chicken from the grocery store and I have found if I buy it from a higher end grocery store (Like Vons or Shaws) and stick to the lemon or garlic one- no sauces- I don't get symptoms. And I'm pretty sensitive. If I had a choice, I'd cook my own, but when I'm desperate, the roasted chicken...

    @GlutenFreeMama- I went to the one in Escondido, CA. BJ's has a gluten-free menu with all kinds of stuff... fish, steak, the baked potatos and the pizza. Took me three meals to polish off the pizza!

    Last night I went to BJ's and ordered to Gluten free pizza and the gluten-free beer. It was fantastic! I got to feel bread full for the first time in weeks! and it tasted "right"! A manager is assigned to your meal when you order gluten free and they stand in the kitchen to watch the meal prep and ensure there is no cross contamination. I didn't have...

    Ranting is OK! Make sure you look at your biopsy results yourself. Then ask questions like- how did they determine the level of villi blunting (if there is any) Or did the pathologist eye-ball this sample or actually count??? My GI refused to diagnose me even after the biopsy showed villious blunting. I ended up back with my internal med doc who was...

    I made nachos in my barracks this weekend- gluten-free corn chips, goat cheese, edamame (cause it was there) chicked boiled in the microwave and salsa. I was pretty impressed with myself. I was very overwhelmed last week trying to do all this without a kitchen, but its not as hard as I thought it would be. Eating out, though, is getting annoying. I...

    LOL@ starving! Well, I guess I'll make a little eating out bag and shove all my condiments in it and take it with me when i go out. That should be funny.

    I will do some research on holes and see how it goes and report back Do you call ahead for the nicer resturants? Or can you still be food-ly spontaneous? I am coming to the conclusion that I'm going to have to learn how to cook more ethnic food if I want to eat it... Now, here's a wierd question- Have you ever brought your own condiments...

    I'm a big ol foodie! I love food! I really like eating at hole in the wall ethnic places and I'm curious how you do this gluten free? When you go into a resturant where you don't speak the language, how do you ask if it's gluten free? Also, how about the "fancier" resturants, do you get treated wierd when you ask for gluten free?

    I get B12 shots weekly at the moment. According to my doc, B12 is water soluble and whatever does not get absorbed just flushes out and you can't too much of it. At one point I got a B12 shot everyday and didn't have any bad effects. Now its twice a week... However, I'm not a doctor Hope you feel better soon!

    Awesome! I have no idea why I didn't ask beofre I went to Whole Foods and went broke for three meals I gotta be careful with dairy for a little while cause it seems to make everything worse. But since I never had issues before it must be a secondary intolerace thing. I will totally try those ideas. I miss my rice cooker more than anything at the...

    Good call! I got that advice from someone here... after I paid whole food prices!

    I'm so new to Celiac that right now I'm considering myself Gluten-lite while I figure out how to be 100% gluten-free. I'm currently in a situation where I'm not able to cook for myself (All I have acess to is a microwave and fridge) I can't have a rice cooker, hot plate, coffee maker- nothing. So I get my diagnosis and try to figure out how to make...
