    Ok ..So traditionally we always get a ham and have scalloped with ham for Easter dinner .So we decided not to change tradition and try to make it gluten free and IT WAS AWESOME ! The only thing I did was substitute Bobs Redmill all purpose flour instead of regular flour when I made my bechamel sauce and the rest was the same ! This was one of those meals...

    I have been on percocet and Oxycontin for years and have not had any problem with gluten ...I have always had the generic percocet and both name and generic oxi ...I checked with the pharmacist and the said it was gluten free but there is no way to guarantee CC ..I think you should call the Pharmaceutical company and file a complaint with the manager about...

    He did tell me that Celiacs cannot eat gluten ...But I had just had gastric bypass surgery and I was already so restricted so much I CHOSE to wait to get thru the first year of weight loss and now I am tackling my new gluten free life ! Taking on both would have just been setting myself up for disaster ...As the Dr told me ..I would actually be better off...

    Now that is a good man you have there ! I have to admit my wife is trying ...We are eating gluten free as a family at meals ...They still eat gluten stuff but in support of me we have started having a gluten free dinner ! It really does put some normalcy in your life when you can sit down to dinner and not feel left out as you are not eating the same stuff...

    OK So here is the long version ! In november of 2009 I was going thru the process of getting my insurance to approve gastric bypass surgery . Part of the process the surgeon sent me to a gastroenterologist for and upper endoscopy to see if my acid refulx had caused any damage which turns out was one of the best things that ever would have happened to me as...

We are talking great English...

    Well on the Pizza front ...I am lucky there ..I was a Pizza hut manager for 5 years and my mom for 15 ...so if I never see another pizza it will not hurt my feelings ! LOL .....Ohhh...But a nice crescent roll with butter is a wonderful thought !

    So what would you say is your weakness? What is the item that tests you and makes you want to cheat? For me ..I am a Carb junkie ...So pasta and bread are my weak spots ...Fortunately I dont mind the gluten-free pastas but I want to dive into the Baguette bin at the store every time I walk past the bakery! A nice crusty bread wrapped around some lovely cheese...

    You know I read this and I was thinking about it from a male perspective of how you should explain to him how serious it is when he cross contaminates your food ...Tell him it would be the equivalent if he had a prostate condition and you kicked him where it counts ....Sometimes us guys need things put to them in a way that "Hits Home" to get thru our thick...

    My Dr told me I would be much better off if I was much more symptomatic as it would force me to take it more seriously. I only found out I had it as I was having gastric bypass surgery and my surgeon required me to have a upper endoscopy to see if there was any damage from my acid reflux and the test discovered the condition or my intestine. It was after...

I would like to know what are...

    I am curious about your "Go to restaurants" . Do they have a decent selection of items ? Or is it generally just the ability to substitute gluten free pasta or something of that sort? You list definitely gives me hope ! Thank you !
