    Zucchini squash pasta made with my new Veggetti slicer! (And a little red wine.....)

    Just dropping by to say I just tried that new Veggetti slicer that slices squash and vegetables into pasta, it works great!!! I was pleasantly surprised! I recommend it.

    "Well it SMELLS like pizza...." "Yes. That was their intention." LOL that's my favorite. I've so had that experience.

    When I was at Walmart today I found a NEW brand of gluten-free cereal bars that I had never seen before, in the regular section with the regular cereal bars, not the gluten-free section. They are much cheaper than the ones in the gluten-free section and they are certified gluten-free and also have no soy ingredients!!! They are called "Glenny's" brand.

    I think the people who wrote this have been eating some of the same gluten-free pizzas that I have Open Original Shared Link

    I'm so surprised they don't have to label this. Aren't there people who have actual wheat allergies? As in, if they come into contact with wheat they'll go in to anaphylactic shock? If the fruit snacks are made on shared lines with Kellogg's cereals, they could just be coated with the stuff. "I used to get very brain foggy and it would happen everytime...

    "In the US, it's voluntary. There are no laws for gluten-free labelling. Wheat is one of the allergens they have to state clearly in the ingredients if it's put into the product on purpose." Thank you so much for letting me know, I was totally unaware of this. I'll be much more careful from now on. Is anyone fighting to make the "shared lines" or "shared...

    "found that they make these products in the same facility as other wheat containing producs. Aren't they supposed to put that on the package? Sadly, no. It's a voluntary label." I see that this post is a year old...is this still the case? Is that still a voluntary label? Yesterday I ate the Kellogg's Fruity Snacks thinking they were OK because...

    Thank you, this makes sense. My conclusion from all of your input is that like most other foods, it should not have some sort of extremely offensive odor or taste if it's still fresh. When I taste the raw flour it does not taste *great* obviously, since it's raw flour, but it doesn't taste what I would guess to be sour, and it has no strong smell. Does...

    Can anyone please tell me, how would I know if my flour is spoiled from being unrefrigerated? I want to use it to make banana bread tomorrow. How would I know if it's OK? And would it actually be harmful if it's spoiled, or would it just taste bad? My flour is Bob's Red Mill All Purpose Flour which has been in my cupboard for a good month or so. The...

    Doesn't the prescription Dapsone that I've read about even work?

    "I can't imagine that using any approved medication will have any negative effect on someone with DH" OK thanks, I was concerned that if I put the wrong thing on it, it could irritate the DH or make it worse. That doesn't seem to be the case. At least no one has said it happened to them as of yet.

    I have this rash that appears very much like DH, but I have not been diagnosed. I know that persons with gluten intolerance and/or Celiac can be prone to other skin conditions such as exzema. SO, today at the store I got some exzema cream to try on it, in case it might work. If I do in fact have DH, will it hurt anything to put OTC exzema cream on it...

    Thank you Irish Heart, I got some Success Rice at the store today. Very convenient as they're four to a box and they can get through a busy week of dinners for me. Thanks!

    So back from the store, here's the report: All Carnation drinks have wheat starch listed as the LAST ingredient. GRRRRRR! I looked at Boost drinks, they are gluten-free but they have soy protein. Can't have soy. Nature Valley Almond Roast bars have soy in them, darn-it. For this week I've settled on ham and cheese rolled into corn tortillas...

    "Nature valley makes an almond crunch bar that is gluten-free. It sometimes goes on sale just like the other ones do." Thanks for that info! NV Bars are what I used to eat for breakfast everyday. I love everyone's creative ideas like hard-boiled eggs (I never would have thought of that!), but I also need something shelf-stable that I can just grab and...

    "I gave that up when hubs was shopping and discovered Success Brown Rice 10 minute boil-in bags. This was not something I thought would be tasty at all---but I admit it, it works. When you just do not have time, you may wish to use them." Oh, those are gluten-free? I just haven't ventured much into exploring which packaged foods are safe or not, I've...

    Question:

    A big salad and half a piece of spice cake
  20. BeFree
    OK thanks for the heads up, vanilla was my favorite one anyway, *fingers crossed*
  21. BeFree
    Thanks, those are good ideas. How about those Carnation Instant Breakfast Drinks? I used to like those a lot. Are those safe?

    Hello all, I'll be starting a new job soon where I'll be needing to leave for work very early in the morning, and I want a quick, healthy, not messy, on-the-go breakfast I can eat in the car. The packaged gluten-free cereal bars would work, but they are SO EXPENSIVE. Any other ideas?
  23. BeFree
    I have Bob's Red Mill All Purpose Flour and it doesn't say anywhere on the package to refrigerate it. I have kept in the cupboard. Should I refrigerate it?

    ARCHIVED Is This Dh?

    BeFree replied to BeFree's topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis

    "Just wanted to mention it is common to have an outbreak after skin has been damaged like the burn you described on your arm. I read that in the DH archives here. Many times the trauma to the skin can cause DH to recur according to what others have experienced." I kind of thought this might be the case...I'm guessing that it's something to do with an overactive...

    "From my experience people can completely surprise you. My aunt who's always been so sweet to me tried her worst to force me to eat chicken that was sitting on a piece of bread because she believed it was all in my head, while a friend who's basically a know-it-all control-freak and never heard of gluten was completely understanding and utterly supportive...
