oops, it has been a while since I posted Both my daughter and I have been on a gluten-free diet for over 2 years now and feel so much better. Maybe those jack @$$&$ should actually talk to someone with the "over reactions" and get facts from the right sources. I know some docs are great, mine is ignorant as well as these people. Sorry to rant...

My sister in law (to be) came across this article and I thought you all would like to take a peek! Open Original Shared LinkOpen Original Shared Link Hope I did this right Christi

Hi all.Just heard of blogs not so long ago so I figured I would start one. I am 31 years old and a mother of 3 kids, Autumn 14, Asia 11 and Graeden 7 (dont do the math ). I have been gluten free since Feb 05 and feel lots and lots better. I have tested negative on the blood panel but know better. I was pretty much gluten free when I had the testing. ...

I just put it in a tupperware type container and it should last at least 6 months. I use the better kind, not the disposable. but tupperware, rubbermade and the like should do fine. I live in MN and we are a humidity haven. its either hot and humid or blow 20! Ha Ha Christi

I know this is not cereal but what about hard boiled eggs (peel em for the kids) and yogurt. I know the stuff in the packets (like go gurt) works great even in the car. I am a cereal fanatic and I cant stand all the sugar in pebbles so I alternate or do a small bowl and an egg. also, gluten-free ready to eat bacon takes like 10 seconds in the microwave...

Hi all, I am new to using gluten-free flours and have been expermenting with mostly rice flour. I have a corn sensitivity too and am having some weird results when I try to bake. I have been using this recipe for flour: 5 C. rice flour 1 c. potato starch 1/2 c. tapioca starch 1 C. Millet flour 2 T . xantham gum I have made pizza crust...

oh and Laura, If you are like me and think you need an official diagnosis to prove you are not insane and this is all in your head, here is your official diagnosis. positive celiac disease!!!! ok, so it may be your favorite music celiac disease, celiac's disease, or Christi's dementia, You decide Christi

I, like you, have a nin-com-poop for a doctor. YOU and only YOU know your body and what you need for it. If you can shop for another doctor do it, if you can't, go to your appointment and leave knowing you know more than someone who spent way too much money on their college education! If it makes you feel better, treat yourself as if you a celiac, diagnosis...

I have not been feeling right for a while and thought it was corn syrup or corn oil that has done it. I was taking a vitamin last night and looked at the label and it said gluten as the last ingredient. I can't believe I missed it and am now thinking that it must have been the vitamins. I am going to play it safe for a little while and not eat anything...

THank you all for replying. I was leary but bought anyway. I found a rice vermicelli there and ate it for the first time last night, I could not tell the differance from regular spaghetti once i rinsed it (I found you have to rinse rice noodles). The potato starch I got was 79cents for 10oz. And it is right next to where my kids go to Tae Kwon Do so I...

Must be the differances in state compliances. Icould not imagine washing all the dishes a restraunt generates by hand!!!! I have only worked in Minnesota and North Dakota restraunts, the laws were the same in both states. That is interesting, I have always wondered which way of doing dishes is best. I will stick with my dishwasher, easier! It does help...

I cheated once and regretted it for 2 weeks after. In fact a couple of months later I still have some undesireable side affects. I will NEVER cheat again, not even out of curiosity. I have definately learned my lesson, I did vote no because have not since and will Never again, I am tired of feeling like poo! Christi

I have found potato starch, rice flour and tapioca starch at a local asian market. The price of the flours and starches are like pennies on the dollar compared to the health food stores and even the health food section of my grocery stores. Are these foods safe for the celiac. I only buy items that are written in english and are single ingredient. Would...

I think I may also be corn sensitive because eating sweet corn and corn tortillas make the perculator belly in me. I have been staying away from corn starch when labeled as this but is modified food starch corn? also just about anything has corn syrup in it so I am wondering if this is should also be removed from my diet. I am finding less and less "normal...
