    I have been eating a ton of them. Lately I just cut them in cubes and boil them, butter and salt with other veges on the side. My kids even eat them this way. It is quick and easy. I peal mine. There are so many things you can do with them, but I haven't ever frozen them, so can't help you with that one. YOu can store them forever though. Just keep them...

    ARCHIVED Eating At Restaurants

    key replied to LL04's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    Jillian, Where do you eat out at?? What do you order? I don't eat meat, so therefore I would be eating mostly salad and baked potatoes. That would be it. I still go to restaurants with family at times, but I eat before I go. I was ordering gluten free lettuce wraps at a PF Chang's and requesting that they change the chicken to tofu. I never in a million...

    This is why I gave up making the bread mixes, etc. THey were great for the first hour, then they were like cardboard. My favorite bread to toast and make sandwiches out of is Kinnikinnick. Great toasted, but you still can't take it on a trip in the car. Congratulations on making bread. Monica

    I agree with what other's have said. Do the best you can, but don't be paranoid. Also, it is recommended that we get a new toaster and not share jelly, butter, peanut butter jars, etc. that may have gluten in them from gluten crumbs. I seem to be unable to eat out, because I was getting sick from eating out about 80% of the time. If I didn't get noticeably...

    ARCHIVED Eating At Restaurants

    key replied to LL04's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    I was going to post this very question recently, but didn't. I started getting better gluten free almost right away, then a few weeks later, I started feeling bad again. Not as bad, but bad! This went on for over a year. Couldn't figure out what the heck was going on. Finally I just said, I would not eat out anymore! I finally started feeling better and getting...

    I thought for awhile I was intolerant to all kinds of foods, but I found I was still getting gluten. These are some things I quit doing and it made me feel like a different person! I can't eat out at all. I end up getting sick eating out at least 80% of the time and so it isn't worth it to me. I am not saying I will never eat out, but if I want to feel well...

    It could be you are still healing and recovering. You were sick for along time. Are you sure you aren't getting gluten anywhere still? Do you still eat out? I know I have those symptoms when gluttened. Monica

    Can he have Soymilk? I would recommend the Silk soymilk if he can. It is good and my kids love it. They even have a chocolate one. Most juices are gluten free. I haven't found one that wasn't that said 100% juice on it, but it can give toddlers diarhea if they drink too much. Monica

    I wouldn't think it would be related to celiac disease at all. The woman had a severe tear from having a baby. That means she tore all the way into her rectum when pushing. I knew a girl that had to have this surgery done too. She later had to have ceserean sections for other births, because of the reconstruction they did. Monica

    ARCHIVED Where Do You Eat?

    key replied to a topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    I was just wondering about others too. I seem to be one that can't eat out. I have tried everywhere! I have tried Chipotle's about 5 times and have only not been gluttened there one time. I have done tostada's at Taco Bell (didn't get sick the last time). PF Chang's I have found has nothing for me to eat hardly, because I don't eat meat. I had eaten there...

    ARCHIVED Depressed

    key replied to jesscarmel's topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    I didn't get to read what everyone else said. I have gained about 3 lbs and I am 5'2inches. I "needed" to gain weight according to everyone that knew me. I just haven't been able to exercise since I moved and was on Lexapro for two months. I have only been off 3 weeks and I think I have lost some. Here are my best weight loss tips. Eat a normal breakfast...

    She may possibly have lupus, but don't let your mind run crazy. She is probably just recovering from having celiac and needs adequate time to heal. I think you should probably take her off of dairy. It will cause her to be bloated and not want to eat well. Most celiacs are lactose intolerant for like 6 months. Lactose intolerance can cause nausea and diarhea...

    WE eat Pamela's pancakes everyday for 15 months now. At least 5 days a week. I have never had a problem with them having gluten. I haven't contacted them though. IS there some risk of gluten? Where are they processed? Amy's, possibly. Lay's regular chips, something with them doesn't agree with me. I can eat UTZ's though. Monica

    Make sure you get the avocadoes when they are turning a browner color and they slightly give when pushed on. I like the Haas avocadoes the best. Sam's Club sells them in a pack of 5 alot of the time and they are much cheaper. I just cut them in half and take the seed out, salt and eat with a spoon. Also they are great if you remove the contents, put on...

    You could try Orange Peel extract. It works for heartburn. Also, try taking Digestive Enzymes, found in a healthfood store. Just make sure they are free of the allergens you can't have. They do work good. I am not sure what pain you are referring to. What does it feel like? Also Peppermint tea can be soothing when your stomach is cramping. Chamomile...

    Jillian, I am sorry you had a rotten night. I do think that people not understanding and having to starve to death at times is the worst part of having celiac. I had a woman literally "yell" one night while we were out to dinner for my husbands graduation with about 75 people there, "Is that all you are eating??". I only had fruit on my plate. Of course...

    Yeah, be careful. Wheat free just means there is no wheat. It could have barley, malt, oats or rye in it or something in the flavoring with those things. It really needs to say "gluten free". My dad bought me some Paul Newman cookies that said "wheat free" on the package. He was so excited to find something for me. I read the package and the first ingredient...

    I really don't understand why they are treating you this way. I am an RN and a fever that high with all his other symptoms seems crazy to not admit him. YOu have to find a different hospital. Are you taking him to a children's hospital? What state do you live in?? Was his blood work considered "normal"? Did they test for menengitis with a spinal tap?? Are...

    I ate some Mini Tator Tots by Ore Ida this morning. Soy was the only allergen listed, so I assumed they were safe. I did feel sick after eating them, so now I am wondering if there is an issue with CC. Has anyone else had this problem? Monica

    Watermelon does do that to me. It makes me feel gross and I burp. Nothing related to celiac though. I have read though, that watermelon should be eaten on an empty stomach or it is hard to digest. I hardly ever eat watermelon anymore, because of this. I had it once this year and it was a really good one and it didn't do that, but it was on an empty stomach...

    Have you looked into Crohn's disease?? This can have fever and damage to the colon. If he is that sick, it sounds like he probably needs to be put in the hospital. Testing for food allergies at his age isn't accurate, so that is useless. IMHO. Where do you live?? I would try and get another opinion from another pediatric gastroenterologist. I did notice...

    I don't think you can feel bad, but I personally have discovered that I will stay sick if I eat out. I can't eat out without getting sick from gluten, so I have given up. It is very frustrating, because I think even products in the grocery store that are on shared lines can have a very high risk for cross contamination ,but it usually isn't listed. I...

    Vincent, So glad your son is doing SO awesome! Yes, my two year old was diagnosed around the time I believe your son was and so I know how wonderful the many things they can do are twice as rewarding as they were even for my other two children. It is SO nice to not have them in pain and see them eating, growing and thriving! Have a wonderful 3rd birthday...
