I went to the farmers market today and found some HUGE zucchini, so I've been looking about at recipes for zucchini bread, and not finding what I need. Right now, I can't afford to buy xanthan gum or a mix. I only have white rice flour (glutenous and regular), tapioca flour, potato starch, corn starch, and masa flour available for flours. I'm looking for...

Speaking of this, there's a new option for those of us that like oats--Trader Joe's now has certified gluten free oats! I am chowing down on these for breakfast! I am happy to see McCann's is on here, as I was going to be sad that I couldn't have irish oats anymore.

This pretty much sums it up. I had the same kinds of issues, and after suspecting it was celiac, but getting a negative blood result (and not being able to afford an endoscopy for further investigation) after being nearly bedridden for months, I decided to take the plunge. I felt better within a few days. Now, when I eat anything with gluten in it, its a...

I believe it tests at 5 ppm. But I was eating a lot of it. I didn't know that about the rotational thing. That is going to be a bit hard for me, as I tend to eat the same things for a long time then switch. I am a little tired of having setbacks almost weekly though. I don't see how I can heal if I keep getting glutened, and its frustrating it to keep happening...

The last two days or so I've felt like I did before I started going gluten free, miserable, nauseated, tired, and with the diarrhea again. I know from a previous incident with cross contamination that I have probably been glutened, but I am not sure from WHAT. I've cooked my own food with conscientiousness the last few days, and the last thing that could...

It has occurred to me that maybe I need to take supplements, but I'm unsure. Are there any vitamins or minerals I need to be aware of while gluten-free that I wouldn't get normally from eating fruits and veggies and other grains?

After watching this, I almost feel like the trend to eat more wheat has maybe caused our genes to rebel and thus cause an uptick in Celiac. I am glad to see that it is more of a diet that human bodies like to be low grains. I think that this sort of makes up my mind about it too, from years of coming to my own conclusions about what is supposedly "healthy...

Reusable, they're actually rather old, and instead of washing them in the dishwasher I'd just wipe them down and refreeze them, so the rims were pretty heavily contaminated. Tingly lips are sometimes a symptom, I have a rash that sort of flares up around my mouth too.

Sterling Heights here. I'm pretty new to all of this, but I wouldn't mind talking to people!

I don't know if you ever got the info, but I live in the same general area (closer to Warren than Sterling Heights)and have a ton of suggestions for places to get flour! There's a few strips down John R, a little past 13mi across from the Big Boy. The big shop in that set has lots of cheap flour, seems to have all the things that you need to bake really,...

So its a little over a week since I started on the gluten free thing, and except for an accidental glutening, I feel FANTASTIC. It's hard to describe exactly, but the gastrointestinal problems resolved first. It's like being in pain so long you tune it out, and suddenly the pain is gone. And it feels like a weight has been lifted. My mind is clearer, it no...

LOL I feel like I bore my husband with it, especially with my penchant for ranting about subjects! I have two friends with it, but one of them is asymptomatic, so it bothers him a lot less psychologically than the other friend. I rant to other friends, but I don't think they really "get" it. I am glad for this board, because I can ask questions and get...

Yeah I totally get this, and don't as much so far (one week and counting gluten free...). I'll be talking about something and just....its gone. Like I never said it. And no matter how much I struggle I can't recall. Like waking up from a dream and forgetting it instantly, only I'm AWAKE when it happens.

I am wondering this myself, with the added family holiday thing. I have 6 months to prepare, but I fear I won't be able to eat ANYTHING at their family gathering, but still be expected to attend. I think I can get through to my father in law, but not so sure about MIL. Neither of them are voiced in dealing with any sort of food allergy.

Omg. I didn't know this. I had hashbrowns too! O_O Grrr. Though I have to say I DID have a good experience going out today to Chipotle. I have started getting pretty proactive in researching a place before I go if I'm not familiar with it.
