    Upon further thought, could your PB have been tainted by someone else dipping a knife with crumbs in it? Make sure you have your own jar of peanut butter. All it takes is someone else spreading it on their toast and you have crumbs in the jar. THEN your PB is glutened unsafe no matter what kind it is.

    If it's this one: Open Original Shared Link It lists hydrogenated vegetable oil (cottonseed and rapeseed). Sugar is also the second ingredient. there's nothing gluten, dairy or soy based in this, but I would not eat it just because of the oil they used to make it (hydrogenated and partially hydrogenated oils are bad for you, plus cottonseed oil is usually...

    Are you sure you don't have a problem with dairy? Have you tried drinking straight milk to see what the results are? Often people try the gluten free cereals and have a gluten-like reaction that actually turns out to be a dairy reaction. You can develop this at anytime, but many people notice it after going gluten free.

    It's working fine for me and my laptop is about five years old (practically ancient in the computer world ). You could try switching browsers if it keeps running slow. I'm using google chrome, but I like firefox too.

    I have to agree with this! I used to be a vegetarian simply because I wasn't crazy about meat. Now I crave meat if I'm low on iron and it tastes better to me. Eggs too. I never liked eggs for breakfast much, but now I eat them at least 3 times a week.

    This is good advice. I use hard boiled eggs as a portable meal/snack when I'm traveling. We drove halfway across the country a few months ago. I packed a cooler with hardboiled eggs, raw veggies (cleaned and cut), grilled chicken breasts, and salad (along with various non-perishable snacks like dried fruit and nuts). We ate some eggs for breakfast in...

    Skylark pretty much covered the particulars. There is no such thing as "a mild celiac". However you can't make your SIL adhere to the diet if she doesn't want to hear about it. You gave her a bunch of literature and she still didn't understand. You asked her if she wanted your help and she didn't reply. The only thing I would do if I were you is next...

    Even though it says gluten free, Litehouse makes some products that DO contain gluten, including a Lite Ranch Dip Open Original Shared Link There might be CC issues. Or you might have developed a problem with one of the other ingredients in the dressing. Many of us pick up new food intolerances after going gluten free.

    Your thread titles are always so funny Connie Too bad we can't just laugh at rude friends (well we can, but it's not really funny). Sorry your friends are so rude and clueless. I haven't encountered any rude friends yet, but I'm taking the route of least resistance so far. If I can't have any input in where it is and I know I can't eat safely...

    I have a similar history with dairy. When I was a baby, dairy made it difficult to breath. My mom was told by the doctor to limit my dairy intake, but that I would "grow out" it eventually. I remember consuming dairy products from middle school on to adulthood up until about my mid to late 20's with no real issues (I am now 30). Now if I drink milk or...

    This looks wonderful! Thanks for sharing. Also I have that same casserole dish. I love it!

    Sorry to disappoint you, but spelt has gluten. See the unsafe list here: /celiac-disease/forbidden-gluten-food-list-unsafe-ingredients-r182/

    I make pretty much everything from scratch. I always make extra to eat the next day for lunch and my husband always takes leftovers to work the next day for his lunch. We have been doing this even before going gluten free because it is more frugal. Most of his coworkers eat out everyday but also complain they never have enough money. For easy recipes...

    I can't use disposable razors either they always leave razor burn. I use a Gillette Mach 3 men's razor to shave my legs. It's much better quality than the women's razors I have tried and I can go a long time before having to change the blades.

    Looks good. I have done something similar before, only I can't tolerate a lot of cheese yet, so I have to go light on that or use goat cheese.

    Connie, No one is judging you for struggling with being gluten free. Everyone has to make up their own mind to follow this way of eating or to be sick. The "sickness" manifests itself in many different ways. I'm sorry you are having trouble coming to terms with this. I hope you have at least one friend or family member supporting you in your desire...

    All of life involves some risk. If you drive or ride in a car anywhere you risk getting in an accident. Does that mean you should never get in a car? No, it just means you are careful. You don't drive in really bad weather if you can help it, you don't drive the wrong way down a one way street, run red lights or speed excessively. Eating out at restaurants...

    Even if these wipes did have gluten, I would hope that your are washing your hands well after going to the bathroom. That would wash off any residual gluten from the wipes. I'm super sensitive and I make sure all my shampoos and soaps are gluten free, but I would not worry about these unless products with wheat make your skin break out in an allergic-type...

    Yes, I agree with Tina B. Also, make sure any hand sanitizer you use is gluten free. I read on here that Germ-X is, but I don't know about others.

    I get both types of symptoms now, but the neuro symptoms were MUCH, MUCH, MUCH WORSE than the GI symptoms. In fact the majority of my time suffering undiagnosed (about three years) I had only neuro symptoms. The one GI symptom I had was mild D after eating, but I do not have a gall bladder and my doctor told me that was common in individuals with their...

    Me too! I tried Gluten Free Pantry brand scone and muffin mix to make some cranberry scones and they were terrible! The texture was all wrong, they fell apart easily and they were chalky/gritty tasting. So I was hoping someone would answer your question with a good recipe or mix.

    When it comes to celiac disease, I don't think there are "safe" levels of gluten, period. I know that some governments regulate the amounts (in ppm) in products claiming to be "gluten free", but IMO any amount is too much. You are taking a chance every time you eat out. Why would you also take a chance at the grocery store where you have the choice to...

    Ooh, that is great to hear that it made good dumplings. I have not found a good dumpling or biscuit and I can't find the gluten-free Biquick in my area yet. Did you just follow the Fufu recipe above and drop them into the chicken mixture or did you use a regular recipe and substitute the plantain flour?
  24. GlutenFreeManna
    Thanks Roda! I swear I searched their site and didn't see that info.
  25. GlutenFreeManna
    I would wrap it in foil or "bake" it in the microwave instead just to be safe.
