That seems to make complete sense. Someone like the cleaning crew. They may even actually truly need the meal to have something to eat for themselves or a family member. However, one never knows for sure.

The ingredients just say "whole grain brown rice". Thanks for the Hy-Vee link. Wish I just knew for sure about foods. I'm spending way too much time in the store and I can't think clearly right now. I appreciate the replies. Debbie

Is Hy-Vee Whole grain brown rice gluten free? Sorry for the dumb question from this very ill newbie. I planned to make a chicken and rice dish from one of the cookbooks recommended by you good people. When I double-checked my Gluten-Free Grocery Shopping Guide, it lists Hy-Vee Instand Brown and Natural Long Grain Brown rice, but not the Whole Grain Brown...

Being new to this, feeling overwhelmed and not even sure if this is the cause of my health problems. However, this group is great!

Thank you so much for all the replies! Debbie

Hello everyone, Three weeks now supposedly gluten free (just found out yesterday that my special biotene dry mouth gum may contain gluten). Yikes! I chew that pretty much all day. Now chewing "Spry" that is gluten free but not near as good for the severe dry mouth issue. Anyway, I was never much of a cook anyway, but I did have some rather tasty...

Bless your heart! I hope you begin feeling better soon. I understand the fear of been put under, but please believe me when I say that part of the Endo was a piece of cake. I didn't like having to do without water for so long since I have severe dry mouth issues from another autoimmune disease. As far as the procedure itself, I went under very...

Your posting made me cry. Please, please do not give up hope! I just started the diet so I cannot say that I know how difficult it is over the long haul. However, I have been very, very sick for the last 7 months and doctors can't figure out what's wrong. Two things that did come back were positive blood work for celiac and I do carry the gene. However...

Does anyone else have hand tremors? Shaky/jerky fingers? I've had so many strange symptoms for the past 7 months and they're only getting worse. I'm trying to figure out what is going on, but doctors don't have a clue. When my blood work came back positive on the antigliadin antibodies a few weeks ago, I was hopeful that this might be the cause...

Oh, I'm so pleased to hear I can keep my nice cookie sheets and my club aluminum ware. Thanks so much for the reply!

I just went gluten free 3 weeks ago. Still not feeling very well but I know it may take a long time. I have a few questions, please. I am way underweight due to the last 7 months of horrible symptoms. I'm trying to eat what I can, but I've learned you can't gain much weight no matter how many fruits and vegetables you eat. I'm also eating meats and...

[PS..As my Engineer hubby says..some people say the glass is 1/2 full, some say the glass is 1/2 empty. Engineers say..the glass is the wrong size!

Neuro/muscular problems have been my main symptoms but some GI problems too. I tested positive on 1 out of 4 tests on blood work. Gene test came back with the celiac gene, category "high" risk for celiac. My biopsy was negative but it was done 3 months before celiac disease was suspected and only two biopsies were taken, so I don't put much stock in that...

You are so knowledgeable, Nora! Thank you for the information! I love this group! Debbie

Thanks everyone!
