  1. So here I was microwaving some wheat bran because I was revamping my meal worm colonies; (I grow them for chicken treats) the container melted so not thinking I scooped it up with my hands and put it into another container. OMG I am soooo sore today and I couldnt figure out why...DUH! Just had to vent! T
  2. What I'd like to know is why are you all losing weight and I am GAINING? I have never had a weight problem in my life (I'm 49) and lately I am seeing the scale creep up and up! It is just a little scary. Terri O
  3. SO I cook at a retirement facility and I need to taste test some stuff occasionally that I obviously cannot eat. I am wondering what the consensus is on testing pasta? If I bite it and rinse my mouth do you think I would be contaminated? What about a soup or sauce? If I taste a little in the "front" of my mouth, spit it out and rinse; does it still get...
  4. This thread makes me wonder...I just bought a bunch of Hershey's cause they were 4/$1. Guess I will get them out of the "secret stash" and let the fam eat them up! Terri O
  5. At our deli there is a big sign that says Klements products are Gluten free. And they are made right here in WI! I dont eat that type of meat but thought it interesting. Terri O
  6. Wow! I thought my big D was bad! I am praying that you find out what is wrong really soon! Keep your chin up (whoever thought of that statement?)We are all thinking of you I am sure. Terri O
  7. Hey I sent you a PM! Pondy and I have been wanting to get together to go to Madison...maybe we can all go? Terri O
  8. Shauna--that is a very scary article to me...I am glad I read it though--thanks. There is another guy with the same views the "Dogter" I think he is called; a vet with Celiacs. He has many interesting things to say also...I wonder if I will ever be "truly healed?" TErri O
  9. I never thought about this but I never cared for bananas. I ate maybe one a year. Now that I am gluten-free I have probably eaten more of them in a month than in my whole life! Thinking of them doesnt make me feel ill any more...and now I can eat apples too! Weird! Terri O
  10. There are some things that I will do: whipped creme chocolate Easter eggs from (damn I cant remember the brand) at Walgreen's...shared equipment, but I eat them maybe 1 a week with no problems. I called Bergen Nut Co and they said no dont do it...so I dont. I figure the company should know how much contamination is possible and if they tell me No--I dont...
  11. WOW=great list! I am printing that off right now! So do you think they actually list the wheat, barley or rye that you have in parenthesis? I have read so many cosmetics labels and have never even seen anything like wheat or barley listed. I use all Melaleucca stuff and the cleaning supplies are all gluten-free but they said they couldnt comment of the...
  12. I take IB for mine...it doesnt seem to do anything to my stomach...but I dont take it a whole lot. HTH Terri O
  13. Ditto on the Redbridge....New Grist isnt too terribly bad but it still isnt BEER. Now I am looking to find Greene's...supposed to have 3 flavors including a dark!
  14. Beer...it's got to be beer! A nice dark chocolate oatmeal stout that is now the feature of the week from a local brewery here....MMMMMMMM--OK STOP! It's 11 in the morning! For food it is barley...love that silky mouthfeel in a good soup. Fast food...Kentucky fried chicken or Culver's chicken...not sure how I am going to get along without that! ...
  15. THanks for the Welcome Pondy! Yes there are supposed to be quite a few places in Madison. I have been referred to the "Silly Yak" bakery...isnt that a great name? I am about 25 minutes from East Towne Mall East of Lake Mills. I would certainly welcome a copilot going to Madison! I seem to always get turned around finding new places...although I am getting...
  16. WOW! That could be my husband that you are talking about! "glad you feel better Honey, can you just get on with life now and quit talking about it?" Yeah...thanks for all the support! NOT! Terri O
  17. It does get easier in time! I only have been gluten-free for 2 months (almost)and am attempting to get my kitchen to a state that I can feel confident eating out of! (wow--that is a really BAD sentence) I dont know how else to say it though...I have a husband and 3 college age kids that are home on and off...they all think I am crazy. Maybe they think I...
  18. Well imagine that!!! I go to search around the forum (after reading everything in a couple of places) and I find that you are all here! This forum has been a Godsend to me and I thank all you knowledgeable folks for making it so. I have found many answers just by reading! The links people post are fascinating and helpful too. It is so helpful to know...
  19. Your post made me laugh! That is how I felt when we went to the cupcake factory and I had a cupcake! WHoo-hooo! So I just discovered this part of the forum. We three on this thread are in a big triangle! I am about 2/3 the way to Madison and also live outside "small town USA" We could all meet in Waukesha and practice that handshake! Terri O
  20. Hi all--sure wish I would have tried this part of the forum earlier! I wouldhave headed to that book signing in Milwaukee on Friday! I live a bit nearer to Madison than Milwaukee...ahorsesoul--I do believe I have met you on another forum years ago that had nothing to do with Celiac. I used goatlady then. (well I still do occasionally!) I guess I will check...
  21. Glad to have read your post Ciavyn...I think if I just keep reading what others write I will never have to start my own topic! I was wondering if it is possible to feel constipated and still have the water running out! And the GAS--oh my! The only thing that has changed for me (bowel wise) since being gluten-free is that my guts dont hurt as bad and I dont...
  22. I'm with the person that said BEER. gluten-free beer is very terrible! And now Tyranena is brewing my favorite Chocolate Oatmeal Stout again...my mouth is watering. MMMM-- I try not to miss stuff and like to try new foods; this thread has made me melancholy though...I think I will bake something--gluten-free of course! Terri O
  23. My fave right now had been a rice cake smeared with hazelnut butter! MMMM--and lots of coffee. If I am home I will make omelets or scrambled eggs--maybe a fritatta. I am thankful that I keep chickens so I have PLENTY of great eggs for breakfast or dinner (or lunch--if I do lunch that day!) Terri O
  24. That is pretty much what I though when I read and watched her spiel. Too bad for us! THanks for the responses! Terri O
  25. A friend on another site sent me this and I am intrigued. Has anyone tried this? Anyone heard of it? Maybe I am grasping at straws but what the video says seems to make sense to me...thanks for your opinions! Terri O Open Original Shared Link
