    I think I would have cried. I certainly would have been terribly hurt that my family did not consider what I needed to eat. But then I thought about it & gee, sometimes I forget for a minute or two that I can't eat the things I used to. The habit of eating a certain way for an entire life is hard to break at least in terms of the automatic thought process...

    Thank you gals.

    What's the best thickening for broth or meat juices to make gravy? I have never cared for constarch used to make gravy. Potato starch?

    Oooooooooo, that sounds so yummy! I bookmarked the recipe for when I've healed enough to give yeast a try.

    Thanks ciamarie! I have had some Pocono buckwheat which I've been eating for some time & haven't had any problems with it. The stuff is funny ~~~ put sugar & milk on it & it tastes like cream of wheat ~~~ put butter & salt & it tastes like grits. But those are 2 of the things that were great comfort foods for me so I'm happy about that...

    Thank you. You have given me something to really think about. I always loved oatmeal & oatmeal cookies & (don't laugh) --- Oatmeal fudge!

    I agree!

    Okay. Thank you for the advice. I know you speak from experience & only wish to prevent me from mistakes. It is appreciated.

    I haven't tried them yet. Haven't been gluten-free long enough to risk trying them. I may end up like so many others ~~~ buying some & then look at them sitting in the cabinet for that "one day" which may never come when I have to courage to try them.

    Blonde here with fair skin. No freckles unless you count the spots from skin that has been treated like bacon & fried in the southern coastal sun for a lifetime!

    As to bread Bellanovia..... The EnerG lite tapioca loaf runs about $2.50 online. It's better if lightly toasted but it isn't bad. It also doesn't contain any soy which I have a problem with. Furthermore, it doesn't have to be kept frozen. Just keep it unopened in it's orig. pkg. in a cool, dry place until you need it. Then I open it, put it in a big ziplock...

    Welcome to the board Bellanovia. It's amazing the things we learn are connected to celiac. So many things make sense now that I couldn't figure out before or that I thought were just an odd problem I had.

    Half Dutch here & half ?English? (Mom always said her family were mutts).

    I need to add more protein & fat to my diet. So I absolutely need the nut butters b/c I have dh & issues with iodine regarding the dh & locally I can not get any unsalted nut butters. Then I really need some rice cakes or crackers to put them on. I have chosen soy free products as well as I have problems with soy. And the flax can be used in many...

    As I'm still sort of a newbie & am sensitive to cc, I wanted to run my shopping list by you before I order these items. I'm rather scared of cc having been recently cc'd by refried beans. I know you guys can spot problems with the brands if I've chosen poorly. Thank you. Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared...

    Oh my dear Tanya, I feel for you, I really do. Yes, what you're describing is consistent with dh & therefore celiac. Yes, creepy, crawly, itchy, stingy before anything appears on your skin. And then OMG! I sit here typing after just having showered & washed my hair which almost has no crusts remaining in it. But I haven't itched in days. I got glutened...
  17. squirmingitch
    Yes, ciamarie, no egg yolk for the low iodine for the dh. I got glutened about a month ago from a can of refried beans which was the first time I had tried hardly anything that wasn't whole foods. Before that I had gotten back on the iodine & seemed to be doing well. Thank you you guys for the tips. So more protein & fat, less carbs. Easier...

    I wish like heck I could eat what you guys do for breakfast & be able to go till lunch time before getting weak & shaky. Here's say a typical breakfast for me: cup of coffee then: large serving of hash browns with a sausage patty crumbled in plus an egg white a glass of juice & a 1/2 glass of milk. Within 1 to 1 1/2 hrs. I will be starving...

    Did the allergy testing include testing for soy? Soy gives me bloat. I am hungry all the time too. I think it is like Brittany said ~~~ it's part of the process.
  20. squirmingitch
    I use Blistex medicated lip ointment ~~~ no problems.
  21. squirmingitch
    I also agree with mushroom & rosetapper23 & ciamarie! Another reason not to use gluten containing topical ingredients is that Vit E is absorbed through the skin. Now if that Vit E happens to be wheat derived then what do you think is going to happen? I have dh ~~~ I know that NOW. But for 7 or 8 years I have not been able to wear makeup of any...

    I get shivers just thinking about it!

    Just to verify the iodine/dh connection: Quote below from the Gluten Intolerance Group of No. America: When my husband was diagnosed with dermatitis herpetiformis last November, he went to visit a expert in dermatitis herpetiformis, Dr. John J. Zone, at the University of Utah (USA). The written instructions Dr. Zone gave him included the following statement...

    I beg to differ with your derm re: the iodine connection. Experience speaks louder than words. I hope you do well on the Dapsone. Are you sure you haven't been getting cc'd somewhere? Back to the iodine issue ~~~ I got accidentally cc'd & was making me crazy with the itchies ~~~ went back to low iodine & in 2-3 days had remarkable improvement...

    I use Loreal Superior Preference as I had already been using it before going gluten-free & had read on here that it's gluten free. I checked the website for Loreal & it says it's gluten-free but I was worried about the conditioner which comes included in the box as it wasn't made clear that was gluten-free also. So I called Loreal & they told...
