    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...

    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...

    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...

    I have worked in many restaraunts and they all had automatic dishwashers that they changed the water in after 20 or so loads. they work differantly than your standard home dishwasher but they work on pretty much the same principles. As for washing by hand, we were not allowed to because the temperature of the water had to be hot enough to kill bacteria...

    I have a quick question about dishwashers. I have a family that refuses to go gluten-free and my question is : When you wash dishes in a dishwasher (you know when a glass or plastic container gets turned upside down you get all that gritty junk inside) are you cross contaminating all your dishes? Then, would all restaraunts be off limits because no way...

    My 13 year old daughter has not been diagnosed with celiac disease or anything but she will not eat any fruits and veggies, nothing mixed like hot dishes or soups and everything has to have a smooth texture unless it is meat. No pork or salted meats. she basically eats junk white bread, white potatoes, white rice, plain chicken breasts, hamburger (she only...

    Just Wondering if the enterolab testing is considered "in writing" as you guys put it as far as testing is conserned. I am considering the enterolab testing because I absolutely hate my GI and my MD is ignorant. Was considering the trying to get my doc to order the tests for me so insurance would pick them up but now reconsidering after hearing you guys...

    I am so glad someone is willing to talk about s#@$! I have always been constipated and bloated and gassy then I'd just let "loose" every so often. Never normal stool. My GI is an antisocial moron (who of course knows everything) and my Internal Medicine guy is just passing this to the GI (same clinic network). But getting to the point: I know I'm not...

    Thank You all, this is so great, I didn't check my message for a couple of days and wow, all these replys. Catfish, that sounds exactly like the one I had and I don't think I have ever had anything so sinful in my life. As for the bittersweet chocolate substitute, I was taught as a child that for unsweetened chocolate you could use 3 Tb cocoa powder to...

    I recently had my birthday and my lovely daughter (only 13) felt sorry I couldn't have cake. Fortunatley my brother in laws girlfriend works for a gourmet bakery and she explained the celiacs and ordered me a flourless chocolate cake. It was absolutely sinful. Even better no reactions! Unfortunately, being a gourmet place and all with my girlfriend in...

    Thank you for that last reply. I guess I was struggling with what others would think by my not going up for communion and I think I needed someone to tell me that this is something between me and Jesus and speculation is purely that, speculation. I think I will contact my priest and speak with him about this and what he is willing to do. This is just such...

    Hey, just wanting to get catholic's opinions on receiving communion and being gluten free. I just started eliminating wheat from my diet and went to church today and after I went up for communion (oops) realized that altho it has been turned into the body of Christ, it still has the physical properties of wheat bread. I want to know how others have handled...

    HI ALL, IM NEW TO THIS SITE, FIRST POST TODAY, PEBS, I HAVE MANY OF YOUR SAME SYMPTOMS, IF I EAT ANYTHING WITH BREAD IN IT (PIZZA, CRACKERS, CAKE, COOKIES) I LITERALLY FEEL LIKE SOMEONE PULLED A RIP CORD FOR AN INFLATEABLE RAFT IN MY STOMACH. I HAVE PROBLEMS WITH POTATOES, CORN AND WHITE RICE THAT I HAVE NOTICED AND EVEN SUGAR SOMETIMES. I TESTED NEGATIVE...
