    Kind of off topic, but with a wedding you can contact the person doing the catering and speak with them directly. Totally stress free for your sister and then you can decide for yourself if they can prepare something for you that you can comfortably eat or if you want to just bring your own meal. If you are bringing your own, you'll want to have contacted...

    Those are exactly the people I think of when I think hippie. The kind people who have an idea of a lifestyle in their head but have no freaking clue what the hell they are talking about or doing. They'll wear pants made of hemp and recycle everything... and only drink water from single serve throwaway containers and drive to the store 4 times a week because...

    University of Chicago is my favorite place to get information. You can get answers to very specific questions that someone has almost certainly answered before. They also have a pamphlet type thing you can print out. Spending some time getting around their site should net you a lot of information to share.

    That's a really great recipe! I have been using EOS lip balm and like it. Almost all of the ingredients in it are organic and I only need to put it on a few times a day. I just picked up a 5 pack at Costco for something like $11 so I won't need more for probably a year, but when I do I think I'll try making my own. There are suggestions for replacements...

    Weirdly enough, I ran into one on Saturday at the gluten-free Expo. I was checking out a shake which I shouldn't have bothered because they all have soy right? But I was like maybe one is in existence that doesn't and this is it and I can taste it for free and it won't taste like crap! Nope, soy. Now, I'll explain quick what my problem is with soy. I...

    I'll be the first to admit that I have the habit of calling the health food store the hippie store. (Which is confusing here because we have three health food stores so when I say I need to run to the hippie store my husband never knows where I'm going.) But I think the issue with people confusing gluten free and vegan is the general attitude of "hippie"...

    This does look interesting. There are at least a few people listed that I would pay actual real money to hear speak, and if someone is (or starts sounding like) a kook I can just stop listening. No one is going to force any of us to listen to every one of these "experts" but some of them are the best of the best and we would all benefit from hearing what...

    If the dough is super sticky (like the donut dough I use) you just have to spray the plastic wrap with cooking spray or olive oil before you roll the dough in it.

    Garlic knots you roll out like a snake, so using the plastic wrap method is quite effective for it. After that though you cut long pieces and actually tie them once into a knot. Then when you put them on the baking sheet you brush them with a garlic butter (or some such). A local pizza joint here makes them and I used to stop in all the time and grab a few...

    You are a crazy woman. But I suppose when you love what you do it makes all the difference. I don't think anyone plans anything during ski season in Utah. Because no one would go, they're all too busy skiing! Well... I would go. There is no chance I'd ever get caught out playing in the snow on purpose. I'm the exception here though, people think...

    I so wanted my husband to go with me so I could double up on everything but he got stuck working. When I won my free ticket it was a pair of tickets so when I got to the expo I looked for the first person I could find who was buying tickets who had kids and gave her my spare. I think if it weren't Utah they would get more beer people here. There did...

    No one should ever feel put upon to lie to someone to make them feel good about what they cooked for us. A simple "I'm sorry but I don't eat things I haven't made", "...haven't helped make" or a simple "no thanks" should suffice. If someone wants to get all hurt over the fact that we aren't willing to risk actual harm to our bodies to make them feel warm...

    She may heal more quickly because she is so young. She also may heal quickly because she she hasn't gotten old enough to have been eating enough gluten to cause the amount of damage some of us older people had. It took me 34 years to get a diagnosis. It only took 2-3 months to start going and have it be at least someone normalish. It did take about a year...

    My local GIG people do a food fair thing too. It's fun and I enjoy it but it isn't a spend the day affair. They do it in May I believe. The prize bag was all one bag, which was actually kinda heavy. Everything else fit neatly into two reusable shopping bags with all my literature and coupons and such and they didn't weigh much of anything. It was a slow...

    If it is a pill, I would never, under any circumstances, consider taking it without first contacting the manufacturer to verify that it is gluten free. I have no idea why someone would assume that this rule magically changes for an herbal supplement. It's still a pill.

    Let's have no energy together. I'd say it'll be fun... but I'm guessing we're probably both not far from bed so we'll mostly sleep through it.

    Okay, it took a while to get it but this is all my stuff. This is my samples. Obviously only the ones I brought home without eating. I don't think you can really see that it is all piled on two reusable shopping bags which I adore having. And this is the prize bag I won, which all came in a reusable bag. Plus I haven't even thought about...

    After I was diagnosed I considered what I went through for a while to be coping. At this point, I think I can say that day to day I simply live with celiac. Today though was all about therapy. Eight hours of gluten free therapy. Anyone who knows me knows I was going to the Gluten Free Expo today because I haven't been able to shut up about it. It is the...

    Someone come cook for me... I didn't realize what 9 hours would take out of me.

    I should come live with you. I haven't had calzone since I lived in PA. Mmmmmmmmm....... Tonight we're having salmon. It'll probably be a quick and easy pan fry with simple sides. Last night's lamb was melt in your mouth perfect, which is good because it was my husband's first lamb chops. He probably thinks I'm a freak now though because I gnawed every...

    It really will be up to them whether or not they want the entire house to be gluten free. That said, there really can not be debate about whether or not your daughter is 100% gluten free. They need to understand that it isn't an upset tummy or a little C or D, it is actual physical harm if she has any. The outings will simply need to be changed to places...

    No, bringing your own food so you don't get sick is not rude. It is a strategy many of us use when we know that it will simply be impossible to get safe food where we're going. If your family is offended by the fact that you care more about not causing yourself actual, physical and possibly long lasting harm than eating your grandmother's cooking than frankly...

    I picked up some lamb chops on sale and some salmon. I'm trying to decide which to eat tonight and which to eat tomorrow. I know I can't reasonably eat both tonight but right now that seems like the most sensible option because choosing just seems like the most difficult thing in the world! Whatever I decide, I'm sure I'll come up with some sort of appropriate...

    I hesitated to respond because I was too lazy to go check to see if the multi vitamins I like are dye free. I got ambitious today and they are. Instead of dyes they use veggies for color. I use Nature Made vitamins. These are gummies so they're twice as much fun, and they don't have iron so they don't make me sick. They actually taste good too. (The B complex...
