    Chicken fajitas and rice.

    I rinse and peel most things. For salads or other non-peel veggies I have a salad spiner I use to re-rinse them even if they are the bagged variety that says "pre-washed, ready to eat".

    This is what I use. Works good for cookies, cake, and biscuits so far and is good for greasing pans just like you would use Crisco vegetable shortening.

    Sorry, me again. After some research I discovered that the Hungarian version of cabbage rolls uses saurkaut and no tomato. So perhaps that would work for you. Here is a recipe that got good reviews: Open Original Shared Link I really like cabbage rolls. Now I will have to try them this way some time.

    After thinking about it I think it would work just as well to use the recipe I posted but use a cup of chicken broth in place of the spaghetti sauce. It will have a different flavor but the result would be the same as far as cooking the cabbage rolls through. If you can have red peppers I would make a sauce out of roasted red peppers and try that for more...

    My reactions are the same whether I get a few crumbs or a large amount. I have NEVER thought "might as well eat the whole thing" if a little gets me by accident. I don't think that's what the dr was implying at all. I think it's just as dangerous to think that crumbs don't matter. Even people that don't get major reactions from small amounts may notice...

    Sorry I posted without seeing this. Can you eat red bell peppers or are you off of all nightshades?

    I make mine in the slow cooker. I don't really have a recipe. Here is what I do: Ground lean meat (turkey, chicken, 90% lean beef) 1 cup cooked rice (leftover cold is best) 1 large egg 1 small onion, finely chopped 2-3 cloved garlic, minced 1 tablespoon Itailian seasoning (I do'nt even measure so I'm guessing on the amount) 1 teaspoon kosher salt...

    You need to be eating the equivalent of 3-4 slices orf bread per day for 3 months prior to the blood test or biopsy. If your symtpoms are too bad to do that however you may consider yourself to have it based on dietary response and genetics (your daughter got it from somewhere). The false negative rate on the blood tests even with a full gluten diet is...

    Brand name Benedryl is gluten-free. My husband is sensitive to dyes and has different reactions to generic versus brand name meds. Some meds that make me sleep (like Benedryl) make him stay wide awake. So you might just try the name brand and see if it helps you more than the generic.

    Ew! Write to the manufacturer (both of you actually). To the OP, even if you didn't have any problems with corn that is a major quality control prblem at that company.

    I eat out about once every 2 months and usually that is NOT because of wanting an enjoyable evening out. It is usually because I am travling with my husband and have no choice. I always take food with me but it's not usually enough for both my husband and I to eat (he's a big eater and what makes a meal for me is just a snack for him). Sometimes I will...

    If he still has the skin issues you can take him to a dermatologist instead and ask for a biopsy of the skin NEXT to the legions to test for DH. If he has DH he has celiac disease. I know some people that only have DH and never get the stomach issues. The key is finding a derm that knows abotu it and how to do the skin biopsy properly.

    I have seen this confusion before. She was thinking of glucose, not gluten. She was a little rude but perhaps she had just never heard of gluten before and didn't want to ask more questions and sound MORE ignorant than she already was. These people are just RUDE! Making comments about your weight and your pie would be off the charts rude even...
  15. GlutenFreeManna
    Yes you would need to be on gluten for 3 months prior to biopsy since you went off of it for so long. Did you get a copy of the blood tests they did? Sorry if you already answered that in another thread. I don't recall. You should make sure they did the complete blood panel and not just 1 or 2 tests. Also make sure the results were interpreted correctly...

    We had Swiss steak (made in the slow cooker) with mashed potatoes and green beans with almonds.

    I think it can also be about what is easy and affordable. I know that was a big mental block for me anyway. gluten-free desserts are easy to make taste good--once you know how--but almost all gluten-free desserts and baked goods are going to be much more expensive than the gluteny one. Lots of people like to entertain but never liked to (or knew how to...

    It has to be the flour keeping you sick. With your son and husband needing to be gluten-free as well you should really just make your whole house gluten free. You should not be handling gluten and especially not flour-based gltuen items. Sorry you're still having trouble but I really think because of that airbourne flour you have not been gluten free enough...

    I take a large cooler (for lunch stops) and small cooler (for cold snacks in the car). You can refill the ice at the hotels you stay at and be sure to get rooms with mini fridges and microwaves. In the big cooler (I keep in the trunk): Cooked, diced chicken a big bag of salad dressing (double ziploc bag it or take unopened bottles) german potato...

    Shauna gave some great meal suggestions. I wanted to add that I like to have a Mexican night when I have guests over. I do a make your own taco bar with taco meat (cooked on the stove and then transferred to the slow cooker to keep warm), refried beans, chopped tomatoes, onions, shredded lettuce, shredded carrots, olives, avocado slices or homemade guacamole...

    I have found I cannot touch gluten foods without getting glutened. If your house is gluten-free why do you feel the need to serve your guests gluten? There are so many meals that are naturally gluten-free and do not require bread to go with the meal. Desserts and sweet breads are also very easy to make gluten-free and your guests may not even know they...

    My bottle of McCormick Garlic powder say 1/4 of a teaspoon = 1 clove of garlic. So I would start with 1/4 of a teaspoon and then taste it. I really like garlic flavor so I would probably end up puttng in up to 1/2 teaspoon if using powdered.

    I have recently gotten a medical alert bracelet. Mine says: My Name, Multiple severe food alleries, carries epipen and has a contact phone number for emergencies. I made up a little business card with my alleriges listed (I have too many to fit on the bracelet) and wrapped it arround the epipen I keep in my purse. In my case, I felt it was neccessary not...

    No worries! I was just really confused because I thoguht I had answered and my answer was not in the thread. That will teach me to read who is asking the question!

    If you have been using flour in your kitchen that is a HUGE problem!!! Flour will stay in the air for up to 4 hours so that you breath it in. Then it settles on everything. Even if you baked while wearing a mask over your nose and mouth and gloves on your hands your kitchen would not be a safe place to make gluten-free food after you have baked. Your...
