    I think I'm having a reaction to Udi's, too. I recently made my own bread and felt great when I ate that. I ran out and switched back to Udi's. Nothing else in my diet has changed, but I get some stomach gurgles and my BMs instantly changed. I've used xanthan gum in cookies and was fine with it, and I tolerate baked sweet potatoes just fine, so I don...

    I think I bore the brunt of my withdrawal done within the first few weeks. I started getting really horrible migraines during the second and third weeks, I believe. I've been gluten-free for almost two months now and am feeling much better (thank goodness the headaches are gone!) It's different for everyone, but it does normally take a long time to completely...

    Was this a blood test? It appears to be normal, but there is a 20% error rate for blood tests (I actually think my sister had a false negative - I'm so sure she has some sort of intolerance). And I've heard that some people have a gluten intolerance (that isn't Celiac) that doesn't show up in test results. If you think it could still be Celiac or an intolerance...

    So far I've only eaten at restaurants that are knowledgeable and are dedicated to their gluten free menu (I love my boyfriend for not wanting to take me anywhere else because he knows it's safer ), but I did make up a "cook card" for when I find my self at a place without a gluten-free menu. This way if I didn't want to make a big deal about it in front...

    Gluten free seitan, hahaha It's too bad that was one of my favorite foods before going gluten-free

    Open Original Shared Link I called Honeyville because I couldn't find any information on if their almond flour is made at a facility that produces wheat. They said that it is but that they are very careful about keeping this product gluten free. Elana on her Elana's Pantry gluten-free cooking website recommends this one highly, but I just thought I'd ask...

    Actually in the video they said that it's really delicious and that all you can taste is the fruit. But there's only one way to find out!

    Did anyone see this? My mother (a self-diagnosed gluten-intolerant) is coming to visit me for a while, so we're going try it together and see if it makes a difference. Just thought I'd share! Glowing Green Smoothie Makes 2 servings, 16 ounces each Ingredients 1 1/2 cups water 1 head organic Romaine lettuce, chopped 3-4 stalks organic celery...

    Congratulations on finding a solution! I'm happy for you that you're feeling better

    I really love Dove dark chocolate and haven't had any sort of reaction to it (knock on wood). Their company has said that all Dove chocolates do not contain gluten. And thank goodness! I don't know how I would have gotten through gluten withdrawal without it!

    Thanks for the advice, everyone. I'm getting rid of the waffle maker and probably my strainer. Keeping - the cupcake and cookie sheets, blender, and hand mixer (I've used my mixer a bunch since going gluten-free, and I don't think I've had a reaction from it at all). Gonna make sure I wash them thoroughly again. I also have some plastic utensils...

    I slice my bread and put the entire thing in the freezer. I like it toasted, so I take it out of the freezer and put it directly into the toaster when I want it. Works great.

    Gone are my old tupperware containers, nonstick cooking pans, and wooden/plastic cooking utensils. I kept: -Stainless steal pots/pans/bowls (washed well) -A few tupperware containers that were barely used and have no scratches on them Things I still have but have questions about: 1. Nonstick insulated aluminum cookie sheets (is aluminum okay? I...

    It definitely sounds like you've got a lot of symptoms that many people on this board experience as a result of their Celiac or gluten intolerance. It couldn't hurt to see your doctor and ask for a blood test/Celiac panel.

    Something amusing that I thought I'd share Last week's episode of The Office featured a "juggling" routine. Here's what it would look like with real juggling balls! Here's the clip from the actual episode it's based on: Open Original Shared Link Hope this brightened your day!

    This was my second try attempting this recipe. The first time I accidentally killed the yeast. This time I had one of my baker friends help me out. The secret - make sure you have a food thermometer and get the milk to the correct temperature before adding the yeast. But I'm so happy with how it turned out this time. It's delicious, has a really hearty...

    I use Bob's Red Mill to make chocolate chip cookies, and they actually turned out really wonderful - literally couldn't tell the difference between that and my old cookies. I haven't tried it with anything else, though.

    Hi, welcome to the board! It sounds like you have a really great attitude - way to go! Keep trucking ahead! By the way, I'm a certified yoga teacher, and that really helped me a lot as well.

    Hi Jessica,

    I also live in NY and I am new to this. Getting so many different stories on how to get a grip on this. I hear MT Sinai has a great gluten-free Dept. Can you shed any light on this..

    Regards

    Ok, thanks for the advice. I think I'll give them to a friend. I'm only using one right now - it has my xanthan gum in it, but the powder is inside a plastic bag and not touching the tupperware. That should be okay right?

    I've gone through my kitchen and have gotten rid of a bunch of pre-diagnosis cooking supplies. Among them, I threw out a bunch of tupperware containers that had scratches on the bottom. My question: I've had a set of ziplock tupperware for about a year now. They were only used for when I made pasta sauce. I'd make a big batch and store a bunch in the freezer...

    I've heard that some buckwheat products actually have wheat mixed into it, so make sure whatever brand you get is 100% pure buckwheat. Also, Bob's Red Mill buckwheat is made at a facility that produces wheat. Don't make the same mistake I did. Luckily I realized this before I opened it and was able to return it.

    I've heard that people with Celiac are prone to other intolerances, and eggs are one of them. Interesting you ask your second question - I've found that I can't eat eggs on their own (hard boiled eggs gave me horrible acid reflux), but I'm okay when they're used in baked foods like bread and cupcakes (gluten-free of course!).

    I've been gluten-free for a little over a month, and I've been doing really well. But I think I was glutened via CC Monday morning. It's now Wednesday, and I feel gross. Symptoms: D Lack of appetite Feeling like there's a brick sitting in the bottom of my stomach Acid reflux Loud stomach gurgles Irritability I was being so careful...
