About Me

Love chocolate, quilting, and my grand-kids, not in that order.

    I think I will do some bean grinding but I do like the Starbucks Kcups.

    I was not diagnosed with Celiac until I was 63 years old. I always thought and was told I had IBS. One of my sisters has three autoimmune diseases but not Celiac. My other sister had the basic blood work done for Celiac two years ago and it was negative. I told her if they will not do gene testing then she needed to be retested every couple of years. She...

    I can't get the link to copy but it was put on the weather channel web site on 8/12/2014 under the heading - bad news for coffee lovers. I don't like flavored coffee so I use the regular Kcups that are pre-made like Starbucks and others. I don't know how they could put wheat in the product unless it is during the grinding and you would think that would have...

    I just heard that because of coffee being harder to grow, Brazil and other countries are using fillers. They are putting in wheat, soy or dirt. Does anyone have information on this. Would it be safe to use whole beans and grind them? Coffee has become more of a problem for me this year since I started using a coffee machine that uses Kcups but it might be...

    I was a chocolate chip cookie lover before going gluten free. My favorite recipe is from Land-o-Lakes. Go online and look for Chewy Chocolate chip cookies(gluten-free). To me they are as close to my pre-gluten free cookies as they can be.

    ___________________________ I too am a scones lover and it took me a long time to find a good recipe. I love the one by Betty Crocker. Go to their web site and type in Cinnamon Scones gluten free. I add mini chocolate chips to my recipe.

    I do a lot of baking now and so I order my flour's and starches online,(mostly at Amazon and their subscribe and save program). What I need to know is what needs to be in the fridge or freezer for long term storage. I order at lot at one time and don't use it up quickly.

    I know this topic has been around awhile and I sure it has because Reece's peanut butter cups are so good that we don't want to give them up. I LOVE the dark chocolate ones. I ate the full sized ones and have not had any problems but then I do not have a lot of symptoms to began with. Lately I tried the small dark chocolate ones and for some reason I seemed...

    There are several support groups in Alabama that may help you find a doctor. I live in Huntsville and we have a support group. Let us know where you live. It will also make a difference on your testing if you are already gluten free.

    My son and his wife went on a cruise and got me some Vanilla. I really would like to use it but I don't know if it is gluten free. The ingredients list Ethyl Alcohol, vanilla pod, natural coloring and perservative. The brand is Xialam.

    ------------------------- If you don't have espresso powder I think instant coffee will work. It looks so good that I am going to make it this week.

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I find that my DH is always itching more in the evenings and I think I have seen others on this site that say the same thing. I don't have an answer as to why this happens but for me it is always worse in the evenings.

    Thanks for your reply. I do think that taking out the vitamin with iodine has helped. Maybe that was what irritated it. I can't get a Dermatologist appointment until April. The site with pictures helped and that is why I do think I have DH but not as bad as the pictures. The spots that I do have look like the one ladies back but I don't have as many. Using...

    If your parents use flour to cook with it gets in the air and settles on lots of things. Also there is Lactose free milk, hard cheese is ok to eat and yogurt is ok in certain brands. Breyers makes a lactose free ice cream in vanilla only. I don't look for lactose in every product but I do cut out the larger amounts like milk and I use lactose free milk for...

    I think all companies should be required to label products that are made on shared equipment. They do that with peanuts and nuts so why not wheat. Having said that I am in love with Reese's dark chocolate peanut butter cups and I eat them several times a week. I don't have a lot of symptoms so I can't always tell if I am having a reaction but my recent blood...
