    Happy birthday and may God bless you today!

    Sorry, I don't know of any places. When I went last year I took all of my food with me. Have you tried talking with the lodge to see if they have any advice?

    I called P & G to ask about corn derivatives in Secret Platinum Invisible Solid and got a similiar response -- have your doctor call us to discuss whether you are allergic to any of the ingredients. I would boycott them but they also carry other products that are corn-free, which no one else carries, that I need. It's too bad they are so "secretive...

    I had to have Tylenol/acetaminophen compounded at a pharmacy. Aleve claims to be corn-free/gluten free, but I had a reaction to it and won't use it any more.

    I apologize, bklynceliac, I wasn't attacking you for your definition of "true allergy reaction" or saying that you are naive and narrowminded. I meant to say that doctors who feel that the only true allergic reaction leads to anaphalaxis need to investigate things further. I know of someone who had an allergic reaction to an OTC medication and the medical...

    As long as you are not allergic to corn, you shouldn't have any problem with dextrose made from maize.

    I'm sorry you had a horrible reaction! I pray you are feeling better and are able to pinpoint what the cause of your reaction was. I haven't been able to eat Amy's pizza since I discovered my allergy to soy, so I'm not much help in assisting you in finding the trigger for this episode.

    Just as there are varying symptoms of celiacs, there are varying degrees of allergic reactions to things in the environment and to food. To say a "true allergic reaction" needs to lead to anaphylaxis, is terribly naive and narrow minded and as soon as doctors realize this, we will all be able to get better healthcare.

    Yippee!!! I have gone without/through withdrawal because of the corn issue & now I can have a treat tomorrow after I tackle some Christmas returns.

    Thanks Spunky & RiceGuy! I have a package of Namaste muffin mix here and will look to see what is on the package. I can't use it, because I think I have been reacting to the xantham gum (grown on corn). I will be using guar gum & cream of tartar to substitute when I start experimenting. I have arrowroot & buckwheat on my shopping list and...

    I tried searching before I posted this and your help would be greatly appreciated! I'm allergic to potatoes and corn and want to make some baked goodies for Christmas. Any ideas for substituting the potato starch and corn starch? I have tapioca, various rice flours, and quinoa flakes on hand, but will be going to Wild Oats/Whole Grocer this weekend. The...

    Glad you found a roll out cookie that was a success for you! Is this the one you used? Lindsay's Lipsmackin' Roll-out & Cut Sugar Cookies -- I found it at Open Original Shared Link

    Thank you for sharing the recipe. I am really excited to try making them.

    Technically this article wasn't about celiac, nor was celiac mentioned, so I am putting it here. The Sun Journal (Maine) had an interview with Craig Bessermin -- executive chef at Naturally ME (Natural Feast Pies) in today's paper. He mentioned he is working on gluten free muffins to be available in 2007. Here is the link to the article -- Craig Bessermin

    Everyone's menus sound so good! My father & I are cooking for our bunch -- Spiral-cut ham Turkey breast -- gluten-free/Corn free Potatoes Carrots Rolls -- for gluten eaters Cranberry relish -- gluten-free/CF Cheesecake pie -- gluten eaters Flourless chocolate cake -- gluten-free/CF My mom was so funny -- "you & your father...

    I'm sorry you are having a hard time! I know how you feel about the needing double coverage. My periods have always been heavy, when I have them, and going gluten free didn't change that. But, that is how my body is & how it tends to run in my family. I did find that as long as I avoid all the foods I am intolerant/allergic to, my PMS symptoms aren't...

    Thank you for posting this! I'm another one obese and gluten intolerant. Like the author, I was sick all the time and because of it, sought out glutenous comfort foods that made it worse. Now that I am gluten/soy/corn/nightshade free, I rarely get sick. I think the next thing to do is to just do meat, veggies, and fruit to continue the weight loss that...

    I didn't have any problems at Texas Roadhouse. I made sure the server knew I had food allergies & they wrote in red ink several times on my order slip "NO SEASONINGS!" -- ribeye, sweet potato, and lettuce salad with just lemon juice. I forgot to ask about a clean spot on the grill, but it was the only meal during my trip I didn't get sick from.

    ARCHIVED Soy Allergy?

    PennyG replied to a topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    I, too, have reactions to soy. I developed eczema on my neck and arms after I started using soy milk to replace regular milk. I had the ringworm appearing patches biopsied when they wouldn't clear up (required because I worked with children and they had to make sure the children weren't going to "catch" what I had) and was told it was "an allergic reaction...

    I called WestSoy and they told me that they couldn't guarantee the rice milk is gluten free. Just a heads up. I love Pacific Foods' rice and almond milks Penny

    There are actually two types of skin biopsies -- one where they do the circular section that is removed and the other is the skin scraping. I was supposed to have the scraping, but because I had been applying a prescribed cream, they weren't able to do it and ended up having two sections removed. The local helps and it just feels like a pinch in the area...
