I was diagnosed with Celiac back in April of 2011. It was pretty hard for me. I gave up wheat and gluten, but I kept craving it. I got "glutened" accidentally hundreds of times. I had reaction after reaction. I felt like crap. I was extremely unhappy not just with my diet, but with food in general. I got more and more depressed. I started to cheat. I figured...

People kept bringing in Wendy's crispy chicken sandwiches to work and it was killing me. So, I threw together the following recipe and to my surprise, it was no only edible, but satisfying. (It didn't taste like Wendy's though ;-) ) The recipe is for one sandwich, though if you were making multiples you wouldn't necessarily have to double or triple it...

The peanut butter cookie recipe that we use is actually 1 cup peanut butter, 1 egg, and 1 cup sugar. They come out very tasty. Thank you for everybody that read and gave advice. Moving out just isn't an option at this point, but separate foods are. I make my own money, so I am able to buy my own groceries. I have been labeling everything "Gluten-free...

I am trying so hard to do this stupid thing right. I felt better at first, but it seems like, the farther from the gluten that I get, the more sensitive to it I get and every little thing sets me off! My skin is a miserable mess again, and I literally can't keep from getting "glutened" long enough for it to clear up. It will start to get better, and then...

I really hope they all live up to this one. They were so cool. Its been two days and I'm still feeling great. I had a terrible experience at IHOP however, lol. I will have to write that one up later. (I didnt end up eating.)

Just thought I would share. They were so awesome. My family decided to go out to get dinner, and I mentioned that I thought that Red Robin had a gluten free menu, so we went there. After the waitress seated us and went to retrieve a highchair for the baby, I asked if they did indeed have a gluten free menu. She said, "Oh yes we do, I'll bring it right over...

Thank you very much for the reply. I am considering having the baby go gluten free. We currently live with my mom and her husband, and neither of them are gluten free, but I also dont have to feed them their food, so. I'm definitely thinking about it. I will try the ointment, thats a great tip. I know that the blisters will heal faster and go away easier...

I'm just wondering. Is there any way to treat the rash once it happens? I have been following a gluten free diet for just shy of a month now, and I was doing ok. My symptoms has gotten SOOOOOO much better during the first two weeks. But now, I have had a couple of accidents. The lastest one was two days ago. I accidentally stuck a spoonful of multigrain...

Its amazing how things can seem so dark one day and the next day- wham. Things get bright again. Well, today was my day. I started off the day the way that I usually do- with a job hunt (I spend about 1 hour on this every morning while the baby is asleep). I got a lead and submitted an application. Then, the most magical thing happened. Like, 2 hours after...

I am SURE that these have been posted before, but I made them tonight and they are delicious! Ingrediants: 1 cup peanut butter 1 cup white sugar 1 large egg Blend until sugar and egg are mixed in. Dough will look slightly "Dry". Form into 1 inch balls, mash flat with a fork and bake in a 350 degree oven for 10 minutes. Makes 24 cookies...

Hmmm. I can totally see her thinking all of these things except the "lets you look fine" part. The rash that I had from eating gluten... I wouldn't go so far as to say that it was disfiguring, but she used to say that I could play a half demon on Angel because of the way that my hands, arms and legs looked. (I was pretty darn scaly and blistery). The rest...

She is 19. She still has a bit of growing up to do. (Who doesnt?) I think if I were a little bit farther removed from gluten, it wouldnt be so bad. I feel 300% better than I have since 2006, so, I'm not even tempted to cheat, and pouting is not my style, so, I think I just need to find something yummy that I have all the ingredients for and make it for...

I am going to try very hard to articulate this correctly so that it doesnt come across wrong. A little background: I am 23 and recently relocated from Texas. My 8 month old and I are living with my mom, stepdad and sister until I can find a job out here and a place to live. I am the only one in my family who currently has to follow a gluten free lifestyle...

I think that you are prety normal. Whenever a person enters into a new condition in their lives, its natural for that to occupy all their thoughts. For instance, when I was pregnant, I was reading and researching constantly and that was what I wanted to talk about. When I had my baby, TRUST ME, that baby was all that I could think about. And now, we talk...

I am exactly where you are. Well, almost. Today I am 3 weeks gluten free. I eat well through out the day. I start out healthy, with good cereal and milk and healthy sandwhiches and salads for lunch. Then, for dinner I usually eat a meat, a vegetable and a carb. Right afterwards I feel like binging on junk. Its gotten pretty bad. One night I sat there and...
