    The most palatable crust I've found is the pizza mix by Chebes, which a local health food store sells for less than $3, & the gluten-free mall carries it. There are a few gluten-free bloggers that have recreated the mix by using tapioca flour, etc., but I haven't tried that yet. If you check the ingredients on pizza sauce, they should be great. There...

    A nice hunk of grilled Pacific salmon, sliced radishes, chopped Wickles Pickles and cottage cheese for me, and DP had the Salmon with roasted new potatoes. I made a batch of Hungarian Kale Soup this weekend http://www.yankeemagazine.com/recipes/search/onerecipe.php?number=18637. Substituted 1/2 lb. chorizo for the brazillian sausage and added 1 diced...

    I dropped supplements for about 5-6 months. Then my rheumetologist got right in my face and told me I MUST take a calcium tablet and Multi-vitamin daily. I've been taking Solgar bramd "Vitamins Only" without issues, Solar Vitamin D drops and Citracal. But I can take trace amounts of soy (like soy lecithen) now, and that used to hurt me, so I'm no sure...

    I don't have DH but have suffered from eczema on my face and ears. I think it is starting to resolve now that I've gone with gluten-free health and beauty products. Several posters have recommended Vanicream for lotion, which is available at WalGreen's and CVS. It's pricy, but a little goes a long way.

    Very nice post, smsm!

    You're right, corn isn't one of the 8 listed. My oops.

    What you're going through is normal. At the 6-8 month spot after going gluten-free I developed more food intolerances, and felt very anxious, because it seemed like everything I ate made me sick. I asked my Gastro for a prescription for an anti-anxiety medication. He gave me an rx for .5 mg Xanax. I'd take 1/2 of a pill when I felt over anxious and...

    You were a good sport and absolutely ordered the best thing of the menu. Grace under fire, I applaud you.

    Thank you so much for sharing your stuffing recipe, Cathay. Mine was always dry. We decided to to do a nice homemade brunch. Then I'm going to order Chicken Lily and garlic mashed potatos from Bone Fish Grill when they open. (That's on their gluten-free menu.) DP can watch all the sports he wants and I don't have to go crazy cleaning and cooking...

    Yep. Corn turned from friend to foe over a year ago. From what I understand, the protein is similar to the gluten protein, and the autoimmune systems has found a new warrior to attack. I'd give all corn and corn derivitives a rest for awhile (another exhaustive list of things to read on label), but hey, you start getting used to it. Actually, it's easier...

    I really appreciate this thread. I rely on communal microwaves for all of my lunches, and have seen some really yucky ones, even in hospital cafeterias. I try to remember to pack a piece of parchment paper in my lunch to use in the microwave. If I forget to pack the parchment paper, I use a napkin or deli paper to wrap up my food, or wash the plastic cover...

    I don't know if you'll like hearing this or not, but I ended up giving up on hairspray (tried a bunch of brands), and ended up having my hair cut short. I get so many compliments on my hair now that it's short, and it's so quick and easy to wash and style without product. Last weekend I went through my bathroom and ditched all the hairsprays and gels and...

    That's a really good question! And I don't know the answer, but I've always been okay with canned tomatoes if the ingredients were safe. My instincts tell me it's optiona, only because I wanted to test corn tortillas rececently and was told that mission does them on a separate line. Mission doesn't print it on their packaging, and I don't believe that...

    OMG, I feel so bad for you, Jennifer, and for your dear daughter. The news from the procedure is actually good. She doesn't have ulcers. The villi damage has to be from a radiologist, from biopsies taken. Even if that doesn't show celiac disease, it doesn't mean you can't eliminate it from her foods. Has she been to an allergist too? If not...

    Thanks, and I hope you get your appetite back...especially with the holidays coming up. I don't have much of an appetite myself most of the time, so I understand. It seems like I'm ravenously hungry or don't want to eat at all.

    I stuffed poblano peppers with a mixture of crab meat, Udi's crumbs, diced green onion, 1 1/2 seeded plum tomatos, serrano pepper, dijon mustard, mayo, an egg, s&p and queso fresco (mexican cheese). Baked for 45 minutes at 375. I ended up with extra stuffing so made baked crab cakes out of them. They were very rich and delicious, I loved them. DP...

    Yum. Thanks for reminding me!

    Hi Duncanne, and welcome to the forum. Going gluten-free is so overwhelming at first. It's a major lifestlye change. The irritability, depression and fatigue are something I went through too when I first went gluten-free. (Have to clean, plan, get rid of old scratched wooden/non-stick cooking pans, cutting boards and utensils & toaasters, become...

    A tingling feeling? Yes too tingling, before I went gluten-free and a symptoms of other food (or additive) intolerances after going gluten-free. It's neuropathy aka nerve damage if that's what you're experiencing.
  20. Marilyn R
    I second that! We'll probably have salad, stuff a Capon with rice and sausage stuffing, do mashed potatoes and gravy, a green been casserole (I'll fry my own onions and made cream of mushroom soup a few weeks ago). Then again, since I don't have children and my family are going to be out of town, I may tell DP we're having hotdogs and he has to grill...

    Hi AVR, Yes, the neuro issues have subsided, they just took a long time to do so and I have to be really careful about what I eat. In my opinion, those two tests were a total waste of time. They didn't shed a light on anything and were totally painful. Last weekend I wanted to try a gluten-free bisquit mix with xanthum gum. I felt like a drunk...

    Other interesting research...I read when I had hyperparathyroidism (which I believe was caused by gluten and possibly corn) that a significant porportion of patients admitted into psych hospitals tested positive for high calcium levels and high PTH levels (indicating hyperparathyroidism). Oats and quinoa (and derivitaves) hurt me too, but that could...

    I I wish you good luck. Thus far, I have resisted genetic testing even though my neurologist has pushed for it. My mom was positively diagnosed. I don't have children but have a whole slew of nieces and nephews. I've made my siblings aware of the situation in writing and face to face. It's in their hands now. Regarding seeing a GI doctor regularly...

    We had steamed mussles tonight in garlic/wine sauce, roasted sweet potato and pork steak. And a little chunk of dark chocolate.

    You can get Chebe's at the gluten-free Mall btw. It's the easiest, most versatile, least problematic gluten-free mix (or scratch recipe) I've found with minimal ingredients/additives. And you don't need special equipment to make it, unless you count parchment paper and a fork as special equiipment. If you use one of those baking sheets with holes in...
