    Don't know if it has anything to do with the upgrade but I've noticed today that I have to type slowly or it misses letters. Hasn't happened on any other sites but if I type fast it comes out like - "d't tye oo ft" instead of "don't type too fast".

    I know Canyon is a good company. That's why I was so disapointed. I thought if the 7-grain was so good the white would be great too. Maybe it's just me. Like I said, it was frozen and just in to the store so I doubt it had gone bad. Could be I just a strong aversion to the taste of tapioca in bread, but honestly, I can't even stand the smell. The texture...

    I wrote to them this morning. The bread was frozen and they didn't have any last week so unless it came from Colorado already bad it was relatively fresh. I took the two unopened loaves back this morning and exchanged them for the 7-grain. The opened is going to feed the birds (if even they will eat it.)

    Thought I'd write to warn everybody. The healthfood store had some yesterday so I thought I'd try it. It is NASTY!! It has that same bitter smell and taste that the Ener-G bread has. I can't get the aftertaste out of my mouth no matter how many times I brush my teeth. Maybe it's the tapioca that makes it taste so bad. Their 7-grain is my avorite bread but...

    And if you haven't been eating much gluten for ten years odds are that the tests won't be valid anyway.

    What you have to do with fresh broccoli is soak it in salt water for about a half hour. The worm will come out. Then rinse the broccoli and cook it. My Grandma always had a farm and/or garden and she told me every bunch has a worm in it. (I guess the stuff from the grocery store has usually been "de-wormed" already.)

    "Target in my area sells Udi's for $4.49 a loaf." Welcome to the forum Monamae! Other than the health food store, the only store in my area that sells gluten-free foods is Lynn's Dakotamart. Stores like Safeway and Walmart and Target are a 120+ mile round trip for me. But anyway, now that you're here, why don't you start a new thread and introduce...

    Thanks, Cyclinglady, but no thanks. I have given up the ice cream. Sugar causes inflammation and my left wrist has been really sore for the past several weeks. It's getting better though because I haven't been eating sugar. And you know, it feels good to be off sugar. Except when I was a very little kid I didn't ever like sweet stuff. Sure I would have...

    I guess the problem is my location. EVERYTHING is expensive here. A very small box of all-purpose gluten-free flour here is over ten bucks. It would only make one loaf. Bread mixes are the same. I'll just enjoy the two loaves I bought and then go back to mixing things with rice. I have done that for my bacon egg and cheese "sandwiches" in the past. I...

    There's no Costco in the Black Hills. There is a Walmart in Rapid City and their website says they have gluten-free. But I only venture up there about once a year. I might ask a friend who goes there more often if he can pick some up next time he goes. I could order online I suppose but the only freezer I have is the little one on my refrigerator...

    So I bought some Udi's last night. The price has gone up to $7.41 a loaf. Canyon Bakehouse and Schar (the only other edible brands here) are even more. I know I can get baking mixes but they are priced about the same and on top of that I would have to make them so there's no point. I could buy flours seperately and make my own mix but again, the cost...

    I felt EXACTLY that way before. I notice that most weighing in here about thinking of eating as nothing more than a necessary bodily function are intolerant to lots of other things besides gluten. I was too. But now that I've healed and been able to get most of these foods back I'm having a ball with food. Just yesterday I was looking at the grocery store...

    COD!! The healthfood store had wild caught Alaskan cod for a good price. I'll be broiling it with butter and bread crumbs. I'll probably have a baked potato and some broccoli with it. And I WILL be sharing with the cat. (She loves cod almost as much as I do.)

    That is gluten withdrawal. Give it another week or so and you'll feel better.

    Avoid Aladdin brand. Every one I have ever had (two that I bought and a couple that were gifts) has leaked. I would stick with Thermos brand or as others have mentioned, Coleman.

    Also, it is easier on both you and your gut if you stick to whole foods at first. Things like meat and potatoes and fresh veggies and fruit. You don't have to worry about reading the ingredients labels because there aren't any, and these things are easier to digest than processed food. And be prepared for gluten withdrawal. You may get headaches and mood...

    Nobody is disagreeing that gluten-free is better for dogs. But Dani said she WAS feeding her puppy gluten-free dog food and it is only when the puppy got sick that the vet prescribed this special food. She hasn't been back to tell us what condition the puppy has, but obviously the gluten-free food she had been giving it didn't prevent this current illness...

    Yeah, some of us prefer not to eat something a well intentioned person makes for them. I STILL won't eat anything I didn't cook myself except for one restaurant where the owner has a celiac relative. (The gluten-free food is made in a totally separate room so there is no chance of contamination.) The best thing would be to make up a basket. You could...

    You CAN use coconut flour. Open Original Shared Link Let us know how it all turns out.

    A Pyrex dish will be fine. And you can thicken the gravy with potato starch. I have found that turkey is best just roasted plain. You don't even really have to baste it. Every time you open the oven door to baste you lose heat. Just rinse the turkey breast, pop it into the dish, then roast it. When it's done, take it out, put the meat on a platter, put...

    Thanks! I learned patience and self-control while I was so restricted so in the long run it was good for me. And now I just want to celebrate. It'll happen for you too. And when it does you'd better watch your figure! I thought giving up ice cream would make me lose weight but with all the ymmy things I've gotten back I fear I'm eating more now than...

    I usually eat a small breakfast, a big lunch and then a small supper. I cooked that turkey and will be having that for lunch today. And yesterday, one day only, the store had russet potatoes on sale - a five pound bag for FORTY-EIGHT CENTS, limit 2 per customer, so I'll be having a baked potato with my turkey. But for breakfast (and supper later) I have...

    How long do you think you had celiac before you were diagnosed? For me I think it was probably 12 years. I don't know if three and a half years is the average time to heal for someone who had celiac for 12 years, but you might calculate from that.

    With your sinuses all blocked up you might weigh more. (Sorry. I shouldn't make fun of your pain.) Seriously, I do hope you're feeling better soon. Thanksgiving is coming up and it would be such a shame not to enjoy it. (((HUGS)))
