    Sorry Shroom! I don't know how old you are but I often think of you as pretty young. Your're right though, stubborn people come in all ages. Maybe I should blame the gluten instead.

    If you can get all parties to co-operate it is safer (IMO) to keep the gluten contained to one area. That way you are not having to worry about cleaning/avoiding as large of an area of the kitchen and you can also ask them to just clean the island as opposed to cleaning the whole kitchen before you can use it. Asking guests to keep clean a smaller area...

    Sounds like it! My mom is also in her 60's so maybe it's something about that generation.

    I agree. Karl, you seem very bitter against the military and government. The government did NOT cause your health problems (at least not celiac and hypoglycemia). What you went through with military doctors is NO DIFFERENT than what many of us here went through with civilian drs. Many others have told you this in other threads and you ignore them and...

    I have the same problem with my family members. My mom recently called me to let me know she had been having digestive issues and was going in for a colonscopy. I urged her to get an endoscopy done at the same time with biopsies to test for celiac. I also urged her to at least ask for the blood panel tests and sent her a link to which tests to ask for...

    This is excellent advice. Your current diet is very high in processed foods. gluten-free processed foods could have low levels of gluten which add up to a big effect when you eat all of that stuff all the time. They could also have some other ingredients which are bothering you and it could take forever to figure out if you have another intolerance eating...

    I do not know what caused your reaction, however I thought I could often my observations: The gluten-free BC cake maxes I have made do have eggs you are supposed to add to them. If you didn't add eggs or used some type of egg-replacer, the recipe would be very dry. The mix is dry even with the eggs added. The only thing I can think of IF this was not...

    Drop the milk for sure! Some people are so lactose intolerant that they cannot even tolerate "lactose-free milk". It actually has very low amounts of lactose. Some people have trouble with casein instead of lactose--which the lactose free milk will STILL have. There are so many milk alternatives--almond milk, rice milk (just avoid Rice Dream brand),...

    Are you using any Xanthan gum or guar gum? Also if you are experimenting with texture there is a long thread here about using psyllium husk in bread. I don't know if those experiments were vegan however. Just a minute I'll see if I can find the thread. ETA: Here it is: It's an interesting read and might give you some new ideas.

    That sounds really wonderful! I'm lucky to live in a big city where there are many restaurants offering gluten free menu options. However, the level of knowledge about prventing cc and staff trained varies significantly. I only have about two (maybe 3) restaruants that I trust and have not had any problems with. Most of the gluten-free menu places are...

    Target has lots of cute ones right now: Open Original Shared Link I have one similar to this one: Open Original Shared Link It looks just like a casual purse or small diaper bag.
  12. GlutenFreeManna
    I HAVE such a kit. I bought a small lunch bag that looks like a purse at Target. I always keep things like Enjoy Life Bars, Lara bars, almonds, craisins, rice cakes and a jar of peanut butter and some plasticware in it. There is a little pouch for an icepack so I can add a cold drink or a container with salad or other cold food if I know I'm going to be...

    I have often imagined a similar scenario except mine is: what would you do if you were on a reality TV show such as Survivor or The Amazing Race? On survivor the "rewards" are often things like pizza, burgers, cookies, etc. What if a challange involved eating gluten? would you do it for a million dollars? I watch the Amazing race all the time and there...

    I have never heard of a DNA test for celiac. The genetic test will not "prove" you have it, it will only assess your risk of having it. I don't understand why the original test was not sufficient proof. Do you have copies of your records from back then telling you what the test was that was done back then? You are fighting an uphill battle trying to get...

    What are you trying to make? If it's a dressing they do make vegan mayo which may be closer to what you are trying for. It's usually made from soy however, which I can't do so I don't know the brands that are both vegan and gluten-free off the top of my head. ETA: sorry just noticed your siggy says you are soy free too. If you are looking for a recipe...

    TY both for the reccomendations. I have eaten both of those brands of chips in the past and liked them. FSTG chips unfortunately are hard to find in my local stores, but Garden of Eatin I can find in several stores. I love the blue corn ones.
  17. GlutenFreeManna
    if you have never looked into the benefits of soaking you really, really should! I will try to give you some links for reading up on the subject. You could start by soaking the seeds you already know you can tolerate like pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds. You may find that you no longer have the problem of hurting from eating too many if you soak them...

    I will keep that in mind. So sad to give up my corn snacks but if it will help prevent a worse reaction later I might have to do that. Thanks for sharing your experience Mushroom.
  19. GlutenFreeManna
    Thank you! Based on everyone else's descriptions of their intolerance I think your suggestion is most likely. I am very sensitive to gluten cc. The last time I got a large amount of gluten by accident I coughed until I threw up. That seems to be what is happening with the corn but it is more subtle and delayed. And I don't have any effects for days afterward...

    LOL! Me too! I also have to admit I really had trouble with her insisting upon shoes in the house too. I don't allow anyone to wear shoes in my house and if I'm wearing shoes it means I'm going somewhere. If I get up and put on shoes right away my next step is out the door to go somewhere...by habit I would do this and never get anything done at...

    Open Original Shared Link The website has some reviews under the recipes. I have not done anything except usign it for battering chicken and pancakes.

    I love it!! I can so see this working for me. It is very similar to what I do anyway. For me I have to make a list. Not a list of every single thing I need to do. I just play a little "what if" game with myself in order to make the list. I think, "What if someone called and said they needed to come over right away and they would be here within the hour...
  23. GlutenFreeManna
    That's good! That's what you need to do at the start. If your diet before was heavy on processed food then you may be detoxing from other chemicals and preservatives as well as gluten. Give it a few weeks. Also waiting several months to try any gluten-free bread will help you "forget" what regular bread tastes like. Not all gluten-free stuff is bad,...

    It is NOT the same in the US. Very few hotels (in my experience) even know what celiac disease or gluten free mean. I have to tell hotels I have food allergies instead (which I do so it's a good startign point for me) because using the word "gluten" gets me everything from a chef that will look for "gluten" in the ingredients and when it's not there declare...
  25. GlutenFreeManna
    You may not think of yourself as disabled, but celiac disease (and food allergies too) is defined as a disability that is covered by the ADA. It is technically a disability no matter what your attitude or how well you manage it. You cannot just eat what everyone else is eating or just order something without asking questions. Some of us cannot even enter...
