    Tortillas should definitely NOT be chewy. They should be nice and soft. I got some of those brown rice tortillas and was so disappointed when I tried to use one for a wrap, but found out quickly that they make wonderful pizza crusts. So that's what I buy them for, but they really aren't tortillas even though they say that on the package, as far as I'm concerned...

    I was really excited to find this at my local Safeway in my teeny little town. It's $5.19 a box which is outrageous for such a small amount, but I think it's pretty good. So far I've only made pancakes but they are yummy. I also made them with some dehydrated blueberries and a teaspoon of superfine sugar added- tasted like a hybrid between a pancake and a...

    I cut it into cubes and toss in with olive oil, salt, and pepper and then bake it on a cookie sheet at about 375. I keep checking it but it doesn't take too long, maybe 10 minutes? Til golden brown. Then pull it out and let it cool. Mmmm.

    I am going to make stuffing with Udi's whole grain bread! I have made croutons with it and they are amazing so I know the stuffing will be good too. So excited!

    Good to know! Thank you!!

    I know I need to eliminate dairy and soy and I just have not mustered the willpower to do this yet because I feel like I have already given up so many things. I need to seperate myself from the emotional side of food more. Anyway, does anyone know of a butter spread that is dairy and soy free? I don't know that there is such a thing. What about cream cheese...

    Oooh I might have to try that. Reminds of the old microwave cake in a mug.

    I'm sorry if this is in the wrong section, I wasn't sure where to put it. I'll tell you, it really helped me cope! Not sure if we're supposed to post links but here's where I saw this: Open Original Shared Link Basically you cut your bagel in half (not to split it but actually in half down the middle), then stand it up on the flat side and open where...

    ARCHIVED Upset

    LauraBeth replied to KikiUSA's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Next time, why not make a big batch of gluten free cupcakes/ muffins/ cookies or something along those lines to share with everyone? I've just started bringing something to share anytime I know I won't be able to have what's being eaten. When we go to dinner at my in-laws I bring a big yummy salad now just in case. I'm taking chocolate cupcakes to the office...

    Mine are Rx through my regular pharmacy- my sister in law who is a nurse usually comes over and does them for me, or I can do them myself but I'd rather she does them! I get them every 3-4 weeks. The first one I got, I felt amazing! But now I don't notice any difference at all.

    Or, like I am taking crack and sedatives simultaneously! Loads of fun.

    It is so worth it if I can finally feel better, but I know it will be hard- especially at first. I'm noticing things that I didn't prior to going gluten-free. Basically it's been almost 6 weeks and my symptoms are not improving a whole lot (severe fatigue is my main one). I am noticing after eating lunch I feel horrendous- I have always felt my worst after...

    I know at least in California, you cannot be denied due to pre-existing conditions if you are applying on a group plan through your employer. Individual plans are a different story. As long as you don't have an "official" diagnosis, it shouldn't be a problem- honestly I don't think that's one of the things they're incredibly concerned about anyway. The main...

    I am exactly the same way, and I'm only 23 so I know it's not menopause! Could be hormonal though. I wonder if it's related to gluten at all.

    All of my vitamins and minerals have been tested. I was low in iron, D, B12 & B2. I take an Rx vitamin D weekly, liquid iron daily, a B complex daily, and B12 shots monthly. My levels have been in the "normal" range for awhile now since I've been doing all of this but I think they are still too low. I think it will just take time to get everything on...

    Thanks for the reply! I haven't looked at all my skin/ face products yet- I know Vitamin E can come from wheat germ sometimes so I need to contact the companies to find out. Also, I'm in the process of finding out if my BC pills contain gluten, my pharmacist seems to be having trouble finding a definitive answer. My doctor ran blood tests for food allergies...

    Oh and just for the record, the title is supposed to say AS bad as ever, not AT bad! Oh well.

    I am still not feeling better and I have been so careful. I have an appt. with a GI specialist on the 20th so I'm pretty curious what they will have to say. My question is regarding other sensitivities- I haven't cut out dairy or anything else yet. I'm seeing that lots of you have also cut out dairy, soy, corn, etc. etc. I know that dairy is the main one...

    My knees are really achy, too. Do you think it's ok to keep using my old pans that have been scrubbed really well and ran through the dishwasher? I always put them through the dishwasher before re-using and now don't cook anything gluten-y at home (BF can go out for that stuff!). I'm hoping I don't have to buy all new pans and stuff. I did get a new toaster...

    ARCHIVED I'm Hot

    LauraBeth replied to miles's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    I'm both ways. I'm almost always either too hot or too cold, I am never comfortable. I hope this starts to subside!

    Thank you guys for all replying to me. It's good to know I am not just "over-reacting" or anything and there are others who feel like I do.
  22. LauraBeth
    Here we are over 3 days later and I still feel horrendous! How long does this typically last for? I am so uncomfortable.
  23. LauraBeth
    That's is insane that anyone could think that! What did you say to her?
  24. LauraBeth
    So I've been on the gluten free diet for a little over a month now. I'm still working on getting a solid diagnosis because some of my test results were skewed by mistake. Anyway, overall I feel like I haven't improved much but I must have been making some gradual improvement and just wasn't really aware because I woke up this morning feeling HORRIBLE! I had...

    ARCHIVED Taco Bell

    LauraBeth posted a topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    Are listed as gluten free on their website! Open Original Shared Link I tried one tonight for the first time (chicken) and it is actually really good! Didn't taste like fast food at all really and hasn't made me feel yucky yet. Normally I just get a side of rice. If I could get a couple of these and a side of rice I would feel so happy! Anyone else tried...
