    Wow, I'm so sorry you had to go through that. I just don't understand people like your MIL who take it personally when you can't eat something. How did it hurt her to let your family eat ice cream instead of cake? Sadly, I have seen this type of story posted more than once so I know it happens frequently. Hopefully your hubby learned his lessen and will...

    I picked up some raw food cookbooks once to see if there were good suggestions for gluten free things. I found a few things I like, but to be honest, I can't do the raw food diet. My body just can't digest that much raw stuff. If I eat raw veggies for most of my diet I'll be in pain after only a couple days. Kudos to those that can do it though. It's...

    Wow, thank you for trying so soon and reporting back! I will wait until I can get a new pan.

    Thanks! I'm really craving pizza lately. I have only had one good pizza since going gluten free and that was at Mellow Mushroom. I have used corn tortillas and rice cakes to put pizza toppings on, but it's not the same as having a crust.

    Hurray! It's great to find what works. It makes it so much easier to stick to it when you feel much better.

    Good for you! I didn't even wait that long to try eating out, but I paid for it by getting glutened several times even at places with gluten free menus. Once I finally found a place that is consistently safe my husband wanted to go there every week! I had to convince him that we will go on special occasions or when I don't feel like cooking. I'm afraid...

    Kareng, Would parchment paper prevent cc from previous gluten pizzas cooked on the pan? I also have the problem of only having pizza pans that have the holes in them. Not sure how thin this pizza dough/batter is, but I wonder if parchment would work if it's a watery batter. I might try some non-stick Reynolds release foil though.

    Hi, at age 15 you are still growing. It may just be that you gained weight you would have had already if you did not have celiac. Have you gotten any taller? If not you may be getting ready for a growth spurt and your body needs that weigh. Is the weight all in your belly or is it on other parts of your body too like your hips, breasts, butt, legs etc...

    Thanks it looks really good. I have a few questions: What is "instant yeast" and how is it different from regular yeast? DO you think I could use corn starch in place of the potato starch? I have potato flour but not potato starch.

    Welcome! Unfortunately the testing is not always accurate. There is a high rate of false negatives. Were you gluten free or even gluten lite when the test was done? If so, that will affect the results and make them more likely to be false negative. At this point you can either push to get a biopsy (and be sure to load up on gluten before the biopsy)...

    It sounds like gluten free is very new to you. It's okay to feel angry and depressed at first. Everyone deals with it in their own way. IF the depression continues for several months I would suggest a counselor and not just for you, ask your husband to go with you to a couples counselor so that you are both on the same page. In the mean time, have you...

    Sure, it's really easy! Ingredients: Potatoes Oil of your choice (I like olive oil) Seasonings of your choice Directions: Preheat oven to 400. Fill a large bowl with cold water Wash and peel the potatoes (you can leave the skin on too if you prefer as long as you scrub it really good) Slice potatoes lengthwise into fries of desired thickness...

    Sorry to hear that. Now you have even more motivation to stay away from food that makes you sick. Just remember this incident every time you are tempted to eat something with gluten. You can make some good gluten free cake though. Betty crocker has a gluten free mix and Pamela's white cake mix is really good too. And for ice cream, look for some coconut...

    I am extremely sensitive. I got glutened by sharing a water bottle with my husband once after he had been eating gluteny food all day. My home is completely gluten free because I can't stay healthy if there's gluten in my home. I had to get all new pans, cutting boards, etc. Something else I wanted to mention about olive oil. If you buy olive oil...

    If you have been eating gluten pretty regularly all this time, then I would get the celiac blood panel re-done first. I had mainly neuro symptoms before going gluten, soy and dairy free. My first ANA test came up high and second one came up normal. I had an MRI of my entire spine and brain with nothing to show for it (except the huge bill for the portion...

    I don't know. I know that stress makes other auto-immune diseases like lupus worse. So it wouldn't surprise me at all that stress could affect us somehow. I hope you can do something relaxing soon and not be so stressed. Take some time to pamper yourself while your toddler is in school. Get a massage or a pedicure or something or just fill up your bath...

    Welcome! Just some advice, don't go gluten free until you have the testing done. You have to be consuming A LOT of gluten for the test results to be positive. If you are gluten free when you test it could be a false negative. If the diet helps it is really hard to go back to eating enough gluten (and making yourself sick in the process) for the tests...

    Yes this is true, light olive oil is better than virgin for cooking though. Virgin oils can change in flavor (and not always in a good way) when heated too high. Use a good extra virgin oil for salads and Light or regular Olive oil for cooking and you should be okay.

    Are you grain free or no carb? If you can do carby things like potatoes, rice and corn or other gluten free grains you should eat more of those for your "high calorie" foods. Carbs convert to sugar and help add pounds in most people. Avocado, olive oil and nuts are high fat, but they also recommended for weight loss by some diets. Those types of fats...

    Wow, I never would have thought to worry about that. I've been using Bertolli Extra Light Olive Oil without problems. I just checked their website and it says their olive oil is gluten free and 100% olive oil. And there are no "processed in the same facility/equipment...." statements on the bottle or the website. The company doesn't make other oils so...

    I like Alexia fries. All their fries are gluten free I believe. They are one of the few companies I have found that doesn't use soybean oil for their fries. Open Original Shared Link It's easy to find a gluten free fry, but harder to find soy free. I like to make my own in big batches and freeze them too. Whenever there's a good sale on potatoes I...

    I'm glad that you have found what works for you, but I just have to say that you are mistaken about coupons. I have twenty bags of rice and twenty packages of mission corn tortillas in my pantry. All were bought with coupons for only pennies. This past week I stocked up on Dole canned fruit--pineapple, peaches and mandarin oranges. There are often coupons...

    I tried making egg rolls with the rice paper rolls and they fell apart when I tried to fry them in oil. They do bake up in the oven okay, but it's not quite the same crunch that an egg roll has. I bet they could make a slightly thicker rice paper wrapper to use as wonton or egg rolls and it would work, but the ones I have found so far are too thin.

    This is a really old thread from 2006, but are you talking about mustard the spice or mustard the condiment? Either one *could* have gluten but most are safe. I have seen a mustard powder (spice) mentioned here that had gluten (the brand name eludes me right now) and I have seen people post that their mustard condiments contained wheat. However, most of...
