    And if you like ham you can make the "bowls" out of boiled ham or virginia ham slices. Get a large muffin tin and flute the ham into each cup. Then follow cyclinglady's recipe. This works great for breakfast too - flute the ham and then break an egg into each cup. Top with cheese, sauteed mushrooms, crumbled bacon, crumbled sausage, whatever you like. Bake...

    I tried them several years ago and had the same problem. I switched to Shopko brand and haven't haqd trouble since.

    IF that is what it is, you can beat this. After all, you ARE a Ninja! You've got your ducks all lined up - a good doctor, your own knowledge, your strong will, and your faith. Add to that all the prayers from your friends and family, and the thoughts and prayers from your online friends. Keep us informed and you know we're all on your side. (((((HUGS...

    That's right. The doctor never gave me an epipen for my allergies to penecillin or sulfa, but he gave me one for bee stings.

    I wish it would work with tequila soaked blueberries. Now THOSE I would really enjoy!

    No refrigeation is necessary while they are soaking. They say just leave them on the counter covered with a paper towel so dust and stuff doesn't get into them. Most of the gin will evaporate and that's fine. After the ten days you can transfer them into a closed jar and either keep them in the fridge or in the cabinet. I think I'm going to use the fridge...

    Well I took the chance and have some soaking in Beefeater's right now. They have to soak for ten days and then you're supposed to eat nine raisins a day. Supposedly some time between two to eight weeks you're supposed to start seeing results. I will report back and let you all know. Thanks!

    I keep hearing about gin soaked raisins. The People's Pharmacy on NPR was talking about them again this morning and they claim that for some reason they work for arthritis pain. The recipe calls for golden raisins and they think it might be something about the sulfites reacting with the juniper in the gin. So anyway although the regular raisins are gluten...

    You can't be allergic to gluten, but you can be allergic to wheat. And it sounds like you are. Or maybe you're allergic to one of the other ingredients in those meatballs. And an allergy can be life threatening. In my opinion you shpoould be carrying an epipen. You need to be eating gluten for the celiac tests to be valid but it seems to me that wouldn...

    Sometimes they are harvested on the same machinery as wheat, or they are stored in the same bins as wheat. I've heard others say the same thing you did. I guess I'd skip the lentils unless I could find some that were certified gluten-free. As for pasta, I really like the Ronzoni gluten-free pasta. It is made with brown rice, white rice, corn and quinoa...

    I would have eaten it too before I got CC'd from the Blue Bunny All Natural ice cream I've been eating for years. I know they also make cookies and cream but I never had a problem before. I'm absolutely sure it was the ice cream now because I ate some from one of the two containers I had, then it went on sale the next day so I bought some more. Got glutening...

    Good question! As bad as you folks in the South have it, try moving to South Dakota! No Whole Foods. No Costco, And none of most of those other great stores I see mentioned here. The best we've got is Safeway and most of THOSE don't have a gluten-free section either. Here in my town there is a ten foot long "island" in one grocery store with gluten-free stuff...

    Major bummer! I always keep a couple of Lara Bars in my purse and a small bag of Planter's nuts. That way if I get caught out late and need to eat at least I have something to hold me over 'til I get home. Hope you get over this quickly.

    Are you using cast iron pans, cutting boards, wooden spoons, scratched plastics, or a toaster that ever contained gluten? Those things will CC you.

    There was once a beloved scientists on this board who passed away. We miss her tremendously because she was knowledgable and compassionate and just a wonderful person. Here is what she had to say about additional intolerances: Personally, I think our development of food intolerances has more to do with Fasano's zonulin work than cross-reactivity. We have...

    The testing for celiac and the testing for dairy intolerance are valid tests. But there is no reliable way to test for intolerances to other foods. The only way to find out if you're intolerant to things like soy or corn is to do an elimination diet. It takes forever and after a while you look at eating as nothing more than a necessary bodily function rather...

    Christina, because you asked so nicely for folks to correct you if you got anything wrong, I'm going to point out a couple of things. First, that blood test for allergens isn't really all that reliable, and it is for allergies, not intolerances. If she is having breathing problems or hives after eating something she is having an allergic reaction, but the...

    The first thing I would look at (should you decide to stay gluten-free and not get tested) would be contamination in the home. Please read the Newbie 101 thread in the coping section to learn more.

    Thanks for coming back and giving us the update. I hope things continue to get better for you.

    According to the Mayo Clinic it is thought to be viral, in which case antibiotics won't work. They also say it usually goes away by itself in about ten weeks. Open Original Shared Link

    It sounds like soy is a problem for you. It is for many of us. The best way to tell is to try soy in as pure a form as you can find. If you get sick you'll know that's it. (I'm thinking either a good gluten-free soy sauce or miso.) Try to keep the new additions simple one ingredient things so you'll know. Onions? I don't know. They could just be bothering...

    GOOD FOR YOU!!! You may miss him for a little while but you don't need a selfish jerk in your life. Whether you find a guy with celiac or just a guy who isn't so wrapped up in himself that he doesn't care about your health, you will be better off. Congratulations on escaping from someone who would have made you miserable in SO many ways.

    Yes indeed. Here is a recent thread on the same topic. Please read and heed. https://www.celiac.com/forums/topic/112066-significant-other-who-doesnt-understand/
