    dude, *everybody* knows your posts well. and nobody is looking for any kind of fight. if you go hollering 'free bananas' in the monkey house, then i don't know the sort of response you are looking to invoke. (my apologies to the monkeys) ...... like O MY GOSH THERE'S WHEAT AT WALMART well, hells ya, there is, up and down the aisles, in every other...

    thank you very much, daisy - this is more much ado about nothing

    hey, eers it's not an allergy but an autoimmune response to gluten - your immune system, normally the good guys who fight germs, are mistaking gluten for the enemy so they basically do a drive-by on gluten but they don't care that little susie <your intestinal walls, yeah, susie's a looker lolz) is sitting on the porch minding her own business. so POW...

    have you read the newbie 101 thread yet? https://www.celiac.com/forums/topic/91878-newbie-info-101/ lots of helpful info on there - also advice on kitchen equipment (what needs to be replaced, etc) - i'm assuming you were still on vacation when you were eating out at restaurants? if you are back home again, i would steer clear of eating out for...

    honestly, once i got used to making my own stuff, i don't have the inclination to go back to store bought - alot of the additives they put in are to aid in shelf life - i make guacamole, for example, that keeps 2 weeks in the fridge and that's because it contains lime juice and to make it stay pretty, i put a piece of plastic wrap inside the jar on top...

    from the mighty interwebs: SOYBEAN OIL, WATER, CORN SYRUP,NATURAL CHEDDAR CHEESE FLAVOUR, SALT, MODIFIED CORN STARCH, MALTODEXTRIN, JALAPENO PUREE (JALAPENOS, WATER, CITRIC ACID), XANTHAN GUM, PHOSPHORIC ACID, LACTIC ACID, POLYSORBATE 60, DEHYDRATED GREEN BELL PEPPERS, FLAVOUR, YEAST EXTRACT, COLOUR, POTASSIUM SORBATE, PROPYLENE GLYCOL, SORBIC ACID, VINEGAR...

    they should give them all celiac 'connect the dots' workbooks - if you have rheumatoid arthritis, that is also related to celiac. i guess they all lose $$ if they don't treat you for one *symptom* at a time.......... and eating bread once in awhile will keep you sick enough to keep going to the doctor: job security! if you eat enough gluten, i guess you...

    yes, jackson, i have a ton of sensitivities but if there's artificial color or sweeteners in stuff, i run for the hills lolz - good that you are making your own stuff - you *know* what's in there and it doesn't have to be an un-natural color. you are always better off, even though it's time consuming, it's totally worth it if i buy something that is pre...

    my doc refers people to here............. true story. i was a little shocked, but then again not really.

    good we missed you! tonight - i had the worst craving for caramel apples, i usually have apples but no caramel so i made caramel sauce and dipped them. i ate A TON. i ruined my appetite!! so, it's beer brats for the hubs w/onions & mushrooms if he wants (i have them cooking now) (i might try them later) and frying up some pickled red cabbage...

    yah. no. i'm not touching anything with barley in it. they can say it's extracted or whatever - it's still barley and barley hates me! lolz i tend to go with things i can actually find out here in the woods. i'm currently pulling major strings to get me a supply of bards, because hardly anybody carries it unless you go clear to knoxville (which i...

    lolz! that is a good point! we have different 'criteria' here, don't we?! AND with all the fad dieters, somebody that says 'good tasty food' vs. somebody who says 'educated staff' or 'crumb free environment' or 'dedicated fryer' makes a big difference

    honestly, i prefer the heat and i very rarely sweat - but, if it gets too hot, i 'wilt' - i have to remind myself to keep hydrated, my stomach feels 'off' - before i went gluten free, i was most likely to get a migraine when i was TOO hot.... you don't have a problem with corn, do you? cornstarch was the only thing in both of your meals that didn't agree...

    i already don't eat there so i can't boycott it - or places like olive garden or applebees, chili's - ok, most chain restaurants i won't eat at - too much chance of cc. one of the reasons i have such a hard time being supportive of the 'find me gluten free' website. most of their recommendations are because the place *has* a gluten free menu....... not...

    i am currently (right NOW!) drinking a new one to me called "new grist" it's a pilsner - has a very pleasant aftertaste and actually pretty smooth now, if i'm not deathly ill in 2 days, i will declare it good edited to add: see what i did there lolz

    these sound delicious! thank you - thanksgiving is right around the corner and i'm always looking for a pumpkin pie alternative i think denise likes to bake.......... not sure..........

    i had a nurse practitioner roll her eyes at me when i said my lip gloss had to be gluten free. then she said "you don't EAT it, do you?" i said "sometimes. when i'm reallllll hungry..." and stared her straight in the face. she didn't say anything after that...............

    i agree with karen on this - there are a number of other things that you should be tested for to rule out any other potential cause, just to be safe. if it's your thyroid, for example, you would do well on a gluten-free diet but there are supplements you doctor can add as well. i got tested for 8 million things (all neg, but no worry from doubt that it...

    good luck, marilyn - fingers and toes crossed !

    mleh, i have ever made cheese sauce in a hurry (not just parmesan, all sorts)) by starting it out as white sauce. i usually use a mixture of cornstarch and white rice flour - the first few times it turned out too gritty (or once i used tapioca starch and it resembled glue lolz) until i cooked it longer in the butter - husband swears the 'non-wheat' flours...

    dah - i think i just lost that argument! i was thinking of marking on my funnel somehow - mostly everything calls for 1/8" or 1/4" - just so i didn't have to use a tiny ruler (hey, it must have been REALLY tiny, i didn't find it in the box!) we need different glasses to tell our other different glasses apart from our regular different glasses !
  22. notme
    thanx, jackson i think i'll stick to the amateur one lolz - there's a few things in the authentic one that i know i'll never find around here! so it wouldn't be authentic just for shoots and googles, i looked on the interwebs for glutinous rice starch - most of the hits i got were for - get this - making pyrotechnics lolz - there were a couple of 'how...

    somewhere in the black mining hills out in dakota there lived a young boy named rocky raccoon - and one day, his woman ran off with another guy, hit young rocky in the eye, rocky didn't like that he said "i'm gonna get that boy".......... lolz - i have a friend who lives in rc; she loves it - one of my 7m3 buddies haven't seen her in ages; probably...

    ARCHIVED Nightshades

    notme replied to bartfull's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    i am looking suspiciously at nightshades, too. i have been o.d.'ing on tomatoes from the garden - one day i just happened to not eat any and i felt 'better' - wierdddd.... yah - i'm still gonna eat the tomatoes till there ain't no more, so it's not *that* bad. i'll do some experimenting after the garden dies lolz

    hey, laura - the way i look at it, we're all kind of the same boat - the ss gluten free - lolz cyclinglady - i am NOT looking forward to the Big M!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but it will be easier since gluten is out of the picture. i've not had my bone density taken yet - i hope it's not too awful.
