    Not sure how formal you are going but this is the cake I am making for making for my 35th birthday party next week. Open Original Shared Link It can be dressed up or down and it's cute.

    I feel like I've been glutened if I drink coffee or have a coke. It lasts for about 4 hours for me. I can handle all the tea I care to drink and the occasional decaf latte (small amount of decaf espresso LOTS of milk and some vanilla syrup).

    I had a slurpee the other day and it was so nice on a hot day. I felt crappy half way through because it's been years since I dumped that much sugar in my bloodstream at one time but I didn't get glutened.

    I'm sensitive to caffiene. A cup of coffee makes me feel like I've been glutened for several hours as does a can of Coke. I can handle decaf coffee in small doses and can somehow drink all the tea I like.

    We eat Kosy Shack all the time and have never had a problem.

    I personally chose not to get an "official diagnosis" for a coupe of reasons. The biggest one was that I felt great after being gluten free for a month and there was no way i was doing the gluten challenge. The other one was that I do not currently have life or critical illness insurance and I am pretty sure an official celiac diagnosis would make...

    I will be 35 in a few days and was just diagnosed in April. I can remember being sick as far back as age 4 and 5 and my health had really deteriorated over the past couple of years to the point where I was facing being in a scooter by 40 at the latest. My stomach pain, nausea and fatigue started to go away immediately. I still have a time in the afternoon...

    I am so freaking excited to start cooking dinner tonight! Butter chicken Jasmine Rice Aloo Gobi (Cauliflower and potato curry) with the cauliflower and potatoes from my own garden! Pakoras with tamarind and mango chutneys All homemade! I love cooking Indian food but only find the time once a month or so. I've never made pakoras before but I bought...

    I lost 10 pounds in the first 2 weeks and then stabilized at 129. After years and years of my weight swinging wildly between 125 and 150 it hasn't budged in 3 months now.

    I generally am perfectly happy making everything I want at home but in this case hubby and I were out of town, we had been walking in the hot sun for a few hours and I thought it would be nice to have a cold drink at the Starbucks we saw. No dice. Oh well, no great loss.

    You are not alone. My doctor refuses to acknowledge that I have a gluten problem. She wants me to do a 4 month gluten challenge and do testing despite the fact that all the health problems she has been treating me for for years are gone now that I am gluten free. Whatever, I don't need her permission to be gluten free. The only thing that bothers me is...

    I go to a friend's house once a week and have tea made in her K-cup machine. So far I haven't had any reaction from it.

    I haven't tried the hamburger buns yet because they are so expensive (I can get them for $7/4) but I've bought the hot dog buns several times now ($6/6) and I love them.

    For dinner: Corn spaghetti with marinara sauce, corn on the cob and hamburger patties leftover from the other night. For dessert: Homemade hot chocolate, homemade oatmeal raisin cookies and cashew clusters from Costco.

    My dentist did have a gluten free flouride but it wasn't their usual one so you need to ask and read the ingredients for yourself. The root canal/filling materials are fine but if you are getting a cleaning at some point the cleaning stuff might not be. They use a mixture of pumice and Tom's of Maine toothpaste when they clean my teeth because the regular...

    This one doesn't have bread in the bottom but I love it. We usually use bacon and the veggies are easily customizable based on what's around. My family likes sauteed mushrooms and chopped up red bell peppers, no onions. Open Original Shared Link

    Oh Genovieve, I wish I could give you a big hug. You sound so sad right now. I can tell you that it gets better though. You can still get married, have babies, eat great food and be happy. It takes time to regain your strength, rechart your life and get back on track but you can do it. I lost 3 babies to miscarriages and dealt with years of infertility...

    For sure, I'm not disputing that they would be safe but if I was at a fundraiser and saw a stranger selling gluten free goodies I wouldn't buy them. All I'm saying is that if I don't know you personally and trust you completely then I wouldn't buy the cupcakes so I'm guessing that most of the niche market that would want or need gluten free cupcakes might...

    Turkey lettuce wraps.
  20. Poppi
    I don't think the price is bad at all but I still wouldn't buy them because I couldn't be sure that they were safe for me. The only baked goods I eat are the ones I make myself, the ones that come from known gluten free manufacturers (like Udi's) or very occasionally something from one of the 2 dedicated gluten free bakeries within a 3 hour drive. I have...

    Laying hens don't eat much if any corn. It makes them fat and doesn't have enough protein to induce laying. And even if they did it shouldn't come through the egg otherwise none of us could eat eggs because laying pellets are almost 100% gluten grains.
  22. Poppi
    I feed our chickens and I hate it. I switched them from mash to pellets to cut down on the dust but it's still a "hold my breath, act quick, scrub up after" job. The lady at the feed store looked at me like I was crazy when I asked her if it was possible to feed laying hens gluten free.

    I'm not even sure where to start here. I am going to try to be polite. 1. It is not "really, really rude" to bring food with you if the food available is dangerous. There is nothing wrong with ordering a drink and then nibbling on a Lara bar or some crackers and cheese while everyone else eats. Nobody is suggesting she lay out a picnic blanket and an...

    I wouldn't do a gluten challenge. I would request blood work to check for growth hormone levels and x-rays to ensure that the growth plates are developing properly. Keep in mind that the tests can be wrong. We had the growth hormone and growth plate testing done when my oldest was 7 and was the size of a 4 year old. At that time we were told that his blood...

    I buy Cocoa Camino bars. Organic, Fair Trade, not ridiculously expensive and so far I haven't come across a flavour with gluten. I like Orange the best.
