The What's For Dinner Tonight Chat
IrishHeart replied to jess-gf's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Hear that, everybody? we're all getting liquid gold for Christmas! whoohoo!!! -
ARCHIVED Soy- And Gluten-Free Granola/breakfast Bars?
IrishHeart replied to Kias4's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
And they are a hit even with the WEs. I got my mom making them. And they freeze well. (but none ever make it to the freezer....) Hope you like them! Just watch them around 8 mins...oven temps may vary on the time to cook. -
ARCHIVED How To Convince Bf That Cross Contamination Is A Problem...
IrishHeart replied to SoLacey's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Well, when you said this earlier in the thread: Lol, thank you IrishHeart! I'm SURE he has a hard time relating and it's frustrating for both of us. He doesn't understand how awful it feels. Even though the reaction to CC is milder in comparison, it still sucks!! I will share those articles with him. I just assumed you had shared the articles and... -
ARCHIVED Feeling Good On Gluten?
IrishHeart replied to dania's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
"Leaky gut " when mentioned in terms of celiac disease and autoimmunity is not at all "nonscientific". Have you read anything by Dr. Alessio Fasano? Here are just two of many pub med articles.

ARCHIVED Not Sure What To Do
IrishHeart replied to MammoMaven's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
The latest guidelines suggest that a 14- day challenge would raise anitbodies enough for testing. I just read this latest pub med article. I am pretty sure it is the same one Colleen has linked to as I shared it with her. How important is a celiac diagnosis to you? Only you can decide what to do, I'm afraid. There's no pressure from any of us... -
ARCHIVED Probiotics - How To Use, Should I Use?
IrishHeart replied to cristiana's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
You're never alone, hon. I wish I could tell you why you are still burning in that area, but a pelvic scan is a good idea to help rule out some things. Inflammation could be causing this problem and honestly, probiotics reduce inflammation in the gut, so maybe if you stay on them for a bit, you will see more progress overall. Do let us know how you... -

The What's For Dinner Tonight Chat
IrishHeart replied to jess-gf's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
We had a lobster/clam/bake with corn and potatoes on the 4th. (glad to know that shellfish is not trying to kill me anymore..) whoohoo! Last night, we did some grilled burgers with carmelized onions, sweet potato fries and haricots verts. karen Today is quinoa and black bean stuffed peppers. (and maybe just a wee bit of ice cream) Monday- cedar planked... -
ARCHIVED Probiotics - How To Use, Should I Use?
IrishHeart replied to cristiana's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I am a huge probiotics pusher on here and I highly recommend them. Damaged guts = we need to balance the gut flora. You may feel "off" at first taking them, but it is just the "bad guys" being shoved out. (that's a really simple explanation, but you get what I mean!) Upon diagnosis, I had no detectable good bacteria in my gut. That's impossible... -

ARCHIVED Store-Cut Pineapple
IrishHeart replied to veryami1's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I get the pre-cut pineapple sometimes and have never had an issue with it. The larger grocery chains use a machine to core and cut the pineapple. -
ARCHIVED Feeling Good On Gluten?
IrishHeart replied to dania's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
RE: Gluten is addictive and acts as an "opiod"? Celiac medical experts give a nod to anecdotal reports of gluten withdrawal but point out there’s no scientific data or research that substantiates the condition. Nothing in the medical literature supports a true gluten-withdrawal syndrome, says Dr. Guandalini. (director of the U, of Chicago Celiac research c... -
ARCHIVED So I Have A Rash Now
IrishHeart replied to MoMof2Boyz's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
If you are strictly gluten-free, I am not sure why you would trigger DH now. The blisters are active or form when gluten is consumed. EDITED TO SAY; OKAY, SORRY I just re-read your post and I see you are NOT gluten-free...so you should probably get tested. i HAVE SEEN YOU ON THE FORUM FOR A WHILE, SO I THOUGHT YOU WERE gluten-free ALREADY. My... -
ARCHIVED Freshetta gluten-free Pizza
IrishHeart replied to maximoo's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I looked for the receipt...found it!..it was a whopping $14.99. So, just about 7.50 a pizza....YO SKI...how's my math? lol -
ARCHIVED Ice Cream Maker?
IrishHeart replied to bartfull's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
hmm....that's unusual. I make vanilla bean all the time and it's just a custard base. -
ARCHIVED Betty Crocker gluten-free Brownies....
IrishHeart replied to across's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
This looks dangerous. lol I read the comments--and I agree about adding some sour cream. My friend with the G F bakery uses sour cream in all baked goods and it truly makes a difference in the moist factor. Someone---can you make these--and report back? I am not indulging right now, but I can live vicariously through others. Open Original Shared... -
ARCHIVED Ice Cream Maker?
IrishHeart replied to bartfull's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Honestly, if I thought my friend was capable of thoroughly cleaning her appliances AND she had made many things in it since the recipe with the flour (so it has been washed many many times) I would say that I would eat it. My ice cream maker has a metal bowl and a hard plastic paddle. I can't see where any "trapped wheat flour" could hide. I have... -
ARCHIVED Got A Koolatron...on Sale!

IrishHeart replied to across's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
And as an added bonus, you can rest assured, the Gluten Free Watchdog just tested this product and it was <5ppm. -
ARCHIVED Freshetta gluten-free Pizza
IrishHeart replied to maximoo's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Indeed....it's in BJs here in Florida and it is a double pack, though, not triple. My friend told me about it and so, the hubs and I gave it a try. I did not get my hopes up as I have not been thrilled with frozen pizza (even in the "old days") but I was willing to keep an open mind! I'll say this, it's better than any frozen G F pizza I have tested... -
Those are all great responses!

We have a treatment for our disease. We can get well and be happy and healthy! . Sadly, there is no cure for blatant ass%$@#ry. She will always be afflicted. Poor thing.
