    Tonight is our Vietnamese girls' last night at home before they head back to Vietnam for a 2 month holiday with family. We are going to make sushi, tempura and chicken kaarage. (I bought a deep fryer yesterday!). Can't wait!!

    I wouldn't even give as much detail to people. Just say "Yes, I tested positive for celiac". I never had any testing because I went gluten free before I knew you had to be on gluten to get tested. After 6 weeks I decided that it would be good to get tested. My gluten challenge lasted half a day and I was miserable. It took almost 3 weeks to feel great...

    For my lunches I usually have: hot dog on an Udi's bun and some raw veggies Leftovers Quesedilla on corn tortillas Baked potato topped with Campbell's Chunky Homestyle Chili and sour cream Pizza on a kinnikinnick crust (I make my own pizza sauce and always have cheese in the fridge as well as things like ham, mushrooms, tomatoes...

    There's your positive test results then.

    I feel for you. I chose not to get the testing done at all for a couple of reasons. The first one was that I simply could not put myself and my family through a 3-4 month gluten challenge. If I have a tiny crumb wind up in my food I am bedridden for a week and not much use for another week after that. The second reason was that I do not yet have life insurance...

    So, cook it first or brush it when raw and then roast it? Dinner wound up being bacon and pancakes made with Pamela's mix. Man do I love that stuff for pancakes.

    It's not mean. You are protecting yourself. I cannot believe he laughed! I'm so angry on your behalf.
  8. Poppi
    Bacon. I honestly haven't though further than that for tonight and it's 5:00 now.

    Hell no. This is no different than blowing cigarette smoke in your face or taking the seatbelts out of your car. You have positive blood and biopsy results. Continual gluten exposure will likely shorten your life span, his carelessness won't kill you today or tomorrow but the long term effects are nothing to mess around with. This disease can kill you, it...

    If you really want a cake you can do a DQ cake. We get them to replace the fudge/cookie filling with cold fudge and then write the message in cold fudge as well (food colouring allergy) and we decorate it ourselves. We get ice cream cakes, sundaes and blizzards from DQ all the time and I have never been glutened there. I know every location has different...

    I'm only 3 months in but thanks to my 2 year old daughter I've been glutened a few times. I find that in the week right after a glutening (even a really mild one) I have a hard time digesting protein. Any meal with much protein in it makes me feel sleepy and nauseated and sluggish for a few hours. SO I stick to light things like berries, yogurt, tabouleh...

    We do that a lot too. vanilla and chocolate ice cream mini marshmallows chocolate sauce caramel sauce strawberry sauce chocolate chips whipped cream in a can smashed up gluten-free cookies Gummy worms We have to avoid food colour too so it makes kid parties tricky but we always have great food and great fun.

    Cool! My Nana was an Empire Loyalist. She passed away in 1999 at 107.

    Well out of that list the only thing that is really hard to replace is cheerios. Everything else is safe and you can use any of the gluten free pastas. Mrs. Leeper's makes a package that is fun shapes like cars and elephants. Give the rice chex a try if you find them. She won't starve. I'm not saying it's easy. My daughter lives on fruit, yogurt, oatmeal...

    Yup, he asked if it was anyone I knew. I told him it was a random hot stranger. We are the two least jealous people on the planet.

    A Year of Slow Cooking All gluten free!

    22*C. That's the perfect temperature for me inside or outside the house. Love it. Let's see I think that is around 74*F

    I really want a deep fryer. So bad! I've got my eye on a 4l Bravetti, just waiting for it to go on sale. I miss going out for tempura and wings and fries and onion rings ....etc etc.. I need a deep fryer. Other than that I love my rice cooker (12 years old, still going strong), my crock pots and my toaster oven.

    I had a crazy dream last night too! I was telling my husband about it when I woke up. I was having an affair and in my dream it had progressed from flirting to long conversations to the first kiss. But then our 2 year old woke me up before I got to the good part. I tried to go back to sleep and see if I could pick up where I left off but it didn't...

    Your husband needs to be on board. I would sit him down and be very frank with him. Let him know that you want more than anything to be happy and healthy but you can't do it without his cooperation. It's a hard adjustment and it took a month or two for my husband to really get the difference between me feeling great and me feeling awful. He likes happy, healthy...

    I have had a problem called cytolytic vaginosis for well over a year. It is fairly horrible and makes life somewhat miserable (and sex impossible) for 2 weeks out of every month. Last month is was better and this month.... GONE! Yippee! And yup, we are on day 5 of complete gluten free-ness. Some huge adjustments to be made for sure, my little kids...

    That sounds good! I use the kinnikinnick s'moreables (gluten-free graham crackers). They are great. On Sunday night my husband had taken the wee one in to bed and my son wanted help with his s'more so without thinking I helped him squish it and then went back to eating my own. I had that "oh NO!" sinking feeling that I had messed up as I was licking the marshmallow...

    The 2 year old is probably keeping you sick. I have a 2 year old daughter (as well as 6, 16, 17 and 20 year old kids in the house) and she is the #1 cause of my glutenings. In fact the whole house is now 100% gluten free to keep me healthy. Little ones just aren't good at containing their crumbs. She would eat a sandwich, spread crumbs all over the table...

    You're so sweet. I'm not sure if we are allowed to talk about this here but one of the nice benefits of having more energy is that I'm not too tired for sexytime any more. Of course I glutened myself on Father's Day helping my son with a s'more (this was the last day of gluten in the house, we went 100% gluten free on Monday - go figure) so I...

    Split pea soup with mennonite sausage, cheese and glutino "ritz" on the side.
