    Wow - good for you! I'm glad you went ahead with it and did not allow your pain, etc. to control you. You have taken such a big step and now I bet you feel as though you could do anything. It is thrilling that you were able to do this so early into your gluten-free lifestyle after such horrible crippling! Amazing.

    I do take a Vitamin B complex as well as B12 sublingual and eat TONS of garlic - probably more garlic than anyone I know!! Maybe the mosquitoes (HUGE here in Canada) just like my adipose tissue!

    I feel really terrible for those who get so sick. It must be absolutely horrid. I find it difficult without symptoms (unless I become more sensitive as time goes on which is possible!) because I must keep reminding myself that it is for my own good that I remain gluten-free. It is sometimes hard to be motivated knowing that gluten pizza, for example, would...

    When I first found out I have celiac disease four months ago, I was in shock, not expecting it, because I do not get sick from eating gluten (so sorry for those who have heard me say this about 873,025 times already). So, I stood in front of my gluten-laden and well-stocked pantry and cried and cried. I cried when we cleaned it out. I cried a few times...

    Perhaps it is because I have only been gluten-free for four months that I am not happy to have Celiac. I am a foodie to the highest degree. Or maybe it is because I did not get sick from gluten (have no idea whether I would now!) prior to going gluten-free. However, I've accepted it and am happy that my little villi are growing more upright as I speak...

    I have been gluten-free for four months and am somehow more attractive to mosquitoes this year than ever. On the other hand, we have been inundated by the suckers more this year than ever before! Dumb things...

    Oh, yuck! I've been really lucky I suppose. But I keep Udi's bread in the freezer and grab a piece now and then. None of my homemade breads have gone moldy at all. Weird. ETA: I'm guessing it is weather related. We are usually very dry here.

    I would be lost without my KA professional series mixer - it is heavy duty and does anything (except maybe the dishes). The attachments are wonderful, too - the ones used most at our house are the pasta attachments. It is helpful for cakes/cookies, too. It sits in its magestic splendor on the counter as it is used so regularly.

    For some reason that strikes me as so very cute! Not to mention delicious. Pulled pork is just so darned comforting.

    I have been gluten-free for four months now and notice very few minute differences because I did not feel ill from gluten before. However, I am hopeful that the longer I am gluten free the more I notice things changing that I did not make connections with (i.e. insomnia). One little thing that is evident is my fingernails are perfectly straight rather than...

    I was told to eat the equivalent of 4 pieces of bread each day for 3 months prior to my biopsies so I am afraid your 2 weeks may not have been long enough. Do you know how many biopsies were taken? It may be that only a few were which is not enough. Sometimes doctors are not the sharpest knives in the drawer!

    Here's a big giant hug ...just because!! Thanks.

    Irish, your husband is a precious, precious man. I applaud his gentleness and kindness. It is a good reflection on your wonderful personality! I SO can relate to understanding if he would decide to get divorced - I went through that phase, too. The toll it was taking on my husband was huge - he had sleepless nights as well. It was not easy for him to...

    This sounds amazing! I will definitely be trying those next week. There is something so deeply satisfying about soft pretzels! I love making mustard aioli to dip them in. Thanks lots for posting this for us. Kudos to you for all your effort in making your recipe so successful!!

    I am going out of town for the weekend right away but will post the recipes when I return. I will have access to the internet, though, but won't bother taking my recipes along.

    I have not yet tried Schar's crusts because I have tried the insipid bread and was horrified at how awful it was. I do like the breadsticks, though. What are the crusts like? Are they crispy like Udi's or kind of soft like Kinnikinnick?

    Irish, our husbands must be brothers! Mine dotes on me as well. The last 3 1/2 years have been very difficult living with chronic pain. I went through guilty feelings of holding my husband back from doing things he loves and so on. We had to cancel so many plans because I did (and still do) live according to how my back was/is that particular day. Plus...

    So far I have never seen any gluten-free bread with any mold, either my own homemade or purchased. Whew!!

    I have heard the standard CYA statement many times as well. Since I do not react to gluten I must be extra careful and not take any chances that I can knowingly prevent. Perhaps if I got ill from gluten it would be different so I would at least be able to gauge it!

    As I recall vividly how wonderful gluten bread tastes I still am having a difficult time with gluten-free bread. I almost always make my own; if not, I buy Udi's but they are $7.49 for one loaf. I made a huge beautiful bread yesterday that rose nice and tall with a good chewy crust. I do not known a bread maker so cannot help you on that front I am afraid...

    Yum! I have a couple of excellent eclair recipes, too. It is reassuring to know that we can still have fabulous mainstream treats once in a while!

    You've really been through a lot lately so take the time to heal, mentally and physically. Remember, too, that only 39% of all biopsies are done correctly and there are lots of false negatives. Do you know perchance how many biopsies were taken? Apparently at least 8-11 are needed for accuracy. Regardless, you know yourself far better than anyone...

    Fran, I do not even know what to say except to please try to take care of you. I have not had experience with cancer myself but understand the desperate sinking feeling of being told close family members have it. My step dad was the most recent. He had advanced colon cancer and his surgery removed every single bit of it. I imagine everything in...
  24. love2travel
    Yes, I would agree. After reading what I typed this morning I thought to myself, is there even any such thing as being too careful when it comes to gluten-free? A big resounding NO!!
  25. love2travel
    You are welcome. I hope you can locate them!!
