    I hope your DD is feeling well soon. If she has never been on re-flux medication before watch her stomach and BM's. New medication can reap havoc on your intestinal track. I was on Zegrid for 2 years and it stopped working last year. Endoscopy showed inflammation to stomach and esophagus, no celiac blood work was taken @ that time. This year I have been...

    I'v had Conte's frozen, gluten-free,WF,CF - gnocchi,ravioli and spinach ravioli, all very good. Check out Conte's online maybe you can order them. Our local pasta store "Pastosa" carrys that brand but also has fresh stuffed shells, ravioli, spinach ravioli. I've tried both fresh raviolis and making the shells for Christmas. They ship anywhere. This...

    Please let us know which suggestion you used and how it came out. This being my first Christmas gluten-free I'm using Stuffed Shells from a local Pasta store. I've enjoyed there Ravioli and gnocchi, hope the shells are as good. Happy Holidays. Cathey

    I'm sorry your having such a hard time with family and friends understanding your health. Remember NO ONE can take advantage of you unless you let them. Take as much pre-made food as you can with you to eat, make meals and freeze them, pack in ice and travel keeping in mind your health is the most important thing and have an enjoyable Holiday. I was just...

    Sounds like a delicious meal. I've had the same problem for years with one oven. Start by making a list of all oven meals, temperature and cooking time. I make the meat first, remove and let rest covered (good spot to rest is on the stove or away from a window draft). Re-position the oven racks and set new temperature. Then you can start adding the new...

    I agree the first few days were horrible. It's all trial and error the first few tries, I must of thrown out 5 different types of rolls and bread in the beginning (birds actually ate it). I will have to look for the Rudi's and the other bread suggested. Currently I use Udi's, love the raisin bread toasted with jams. I toast Udi's whole grain bread make...

    Sounds like your MIL made Aglio e Olio and just added shrimp. If I use 1/2# pasta I use 10-12 garlic cloves slice thin in 1/2 cup EVOO, heat low-med till garlic starts to brown (don't burn it will be bitter). Garlic flavor has a lot to do with the freshness of the garlic, if you have any green stems slice garlic in half and remove them. I prefer corn pasta...

    I read an article in Oct/Nov. issue of "Living Without", Special-Diet Food Banks. If anyone is interested the article mentions several way one can get involved, help, educate, etc. I don't know if I'm permitted to re-print contact information in the article?

    First off a dog should not have anything that is not digested (rawhide, nylabone, marrow bone). We do well with the Kong (red rubber) types. Our dog has a special diet, 6 or so years ago he had Helicobacter went through an endoscopy, 30 days of Z-Pac and several thousands of dollars. He only eats Sweet Potato and Venison dry food and vegetable or sweet...

    White wine appetizer, main course white wine followed by white cranberry and seltzer for dessert. Should be clean as a whistle for the GI series tomorrow.

    ARCHIVED Taco Bell

    Cathey replied to fourtoone's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    Why, if your gluten-free would you eat Taco Bell? Too mush of CC in that place for me. Make the tacos @ home.

    I'm sorry your young one is suffering, I know it's hard to sit back and depend on the professionals who have no clue. I would have food allergy testing done through blood work and scratch testing. Also watch the lactose and dairy intake, that immediate diarrhea may have been from dairy the day before. Not an easy task watching your young one suffer. Take...

    Here's my I idea of beating the weather photo. This past January I had to go to Florida for a funeral of my 50 yr old cousin. We had a really bad winter in Long Island New York. The week after I came back the snow was a bit much and I grabbed my snorkel equipment and I was back in Key Largo. Always smile when I see this one.

    It's totally fair to scream, to be angry, and to be jealous! But stick around the board, and read from the thousands of folks who have been in your shoes and have learned how to make adaptations that worked for them. You will figure out how to do it, and you will - with some effort - figure out the mental perspective that will make it easier. But this...

    Thanks for bringing up the topic, we went to a formal affair several weeks ago and I swear I was glutened well it was the Vodka. We on the way out to another affair tonight and I know I'll be fine Sunday. Open Original Shared Link

    I just want to share my experience with my new Doctor and ask what do you think of the new GI's order of tests? History - I was diagnosed 6 weeks ago and after having had problems with the old GI since last year, I decided to switch Dr's for my 6 week follow up yesterday. I had an Endoscopy and no blood work in 2008, Endoscopy and Colonoscopy, no blood...

    I've used the pecans and almond flavor have not had any problems.

    Sorry you are having a hard time and DH really is no support right now. He will come around, he is a bit scared now. Maybe you can have a chat @ night when the children are in bed (I read this today, I want to try that, etc.) AVR was right "you have a great support here" there are very knowledgeable folks here, dealing w/ this for years. I can tell you...

    Been growing my own for years, with a short growing season I dry as many as I can for the winter. I buy some fresh (expensive) during the Winter months if I need them. I also have McCormick in the pantry.

    So your 100% gluten-free, what products (Brand names) do you like or dislike? What works for you and what doesn't and why? I know my first couple of weeks had been trial and error and a lot of products and $$$ in the garbage or became bird food. I'm 5 weeks free and feeling much better, trust me I would kill for a meal out but not yet. Lets share and...

    DH brought me Whole Foods pie crust, have yet to use them. I told our sons girlfriend of them and she swears by them. Will keep you posted when I use them. I've always used frozen pie crust, too lazy to make fresh. Cathey

    Add another Nerd to the list. Beside eating constantly (cracker, bread, etc) to get rid of the nausea I just kept blowing up like a balloon and might add not feeling any better (duh gluten). I'm 5 weeks gluten-free and have lost 10 pounds. I probably eat more now in the morning then I ever have, feel awesome and have a good outlook. Happy Thanksgiving...

    I haven't done any baking yet but I did read in one Bread book that Guar Gum can be substituted for Xanthan Gum. But, like I said it was in a bread book.

    Call me anal but right now I'm not touching anything that is on shared equipment (too new). I've made my own humus, but Costco does have a brand that is G.F. and FYI Wise:)Potato Chips are gluten-free.
