  1. Buckwheat is gluten free. I don't know much else.
  2. I think the goal is to find a way for our spouses to participate in this gluten free lifestyle that is comfortable for them. Some want to join the gluten free movement in the home, while others would prefer to leave their diets full of gluten. Some may want to know all the details of the daily struggle to remain gluten free, while others want minimum information...
  3. Who's mad? Not me!
  4. Yeah, well... I was reading Maya's post and saw my husband in it. I don't think he's a bad husband, and I don't think Maya needs to be getting frustrated.
  5. I do mention the two sticks of butter to my husband. He understands enough to keep the celiac kid gluten free. I don't expect him to comprehend this stuff on the emotional level of a mom. Men and women are different and deal with things according to these differences. And generalizing the behavior of men isn't a disservice to men. Not accepting these differences...
  6. I wouldn't make a non-celiac join in on the diet just to keep things "fair". Everyone's got issues, we all need to learn to deal with them and not expect the world to understand, or join in. There are many great coping skills that come along with this disease. As for your husband's disinterest, my opinion is to let it go. Why engage in a discussion about...
  7. I haven't tried this, but I hear you can put cream cheese and jelly in chebe bread and bake. That may be like a toaster strudel pastry? I would also recommend the book, Dangerous Grains. It presents the whole gluten sensitivity through Celiac Disease spectrum in a very readable format. It's written very simply for the non-medical person to grasp what...
  8. Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link My son began the diet at age three. Your child may have celiac and the dairy issues may be a result of the temporary villi damage. If you find he can tolerate dairy again after some months gluten free, that would make things easier! For the Chebe bread mixes, I use rice milk instead of dairy milk...
  9. We use the bottle of Old El Paso taco sauce. It works great and tastes great. MSG is so bad for your body. It could have been that.
  10. Thanks! I just ordered my son a bunch of fun shirts for school.
  11. Accidents increase the risk of your developing the other nasty auto-immune diseases. Please do you absolute best to remain gluten free if you have celiac disease. Being gluten free and avoiding foods that contain gluten isn't nearly as bad as having lupus or R.A. and having to take pain medications that can also harm other organs in your body. Think about...
  12. Open Original Shared Link Kinnikinnick has great donuts. We top with chocolate frosting. I make chicken nuggets with a mix of gluten free flours. I don't have a recipe to give you, but I add things like parsley, garlic salt, onion powder, parmesan cheese, whatever.... Make a lg baggie full of the mix and keep in fridge. It lasts a long time and can...
  13. So, there's the risk that the words "gluten free" are going to be played with? That's so annoying. Gluten free should mean gluten free, period.
  14. We buy Applegate Farms from WholeFoods and Colubus Brand Turkey from reg stores. I've heard Boar's Head brand is gluten free, but can't confirm.
  15. I think Jay Robb's might be what you're looking for. Google him. His shakes were voted best tasting. He has Celiac disease, too. Might have whey. I can't remember.
  16. Politics, Religion and Celiac Disease should not be discussed in mixed groups. My approach has been lovingly dubbed "talk torture" by a loved one who thought she knew more than I about Celiac Disease. Just start telling the facts. Shoot down the inaccuracies they dish out. Have one finger extended towards the *on button of the computer and...
  17. Open Original Shared Link You can buy raw milk in stores in some states.
  18. Open Original Shared Link You can get great breads at kinnikinnick. Their bagels are pretty high calorie. Have them in the morning with eggs and bacon and butter or cream cheese, etc. They also make great white bread, pizza crusts, and donuts. You don't want to skip the carbs and go all Atkins. That will not help you gain weight. Open Original...
  19. Actually, the dairy farms supplying the unpasturized milks are usually small and also boast hormone free, antibiotic free dairy cows. There's a lot of great information on line about the different farms offering 'raw' milk. There's also compelling information against the pasturization process. My friend has been steering me towards unpasturized milk since...
  20. Open Original Shared Link Which one are you wondering about and why?
  21. Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link You can get good pizza crusts from kinnikinnick... also great breads, bagels, donuts... Chebe is great for pizza sticks, add chopped pepperoni, mozzerella and extra garlic salt.... hot pockets, stuff with whatever, corn dogs, wrap dough around dog, roll till smooth, bake. Buttered rolls for stews...
  22. Kinnikinnick makes great white bread that packs well. I make my son sandwiches for school on the bread, lightly toasted, and it's fine after several hours in his bag. He eats deli meats, pbj, pbfluff , oscar mayer bologna, etc... He also has hotdogs cut up into baked beans in a thermos, stew with buttered chebe balls, Tinkyada pastas with spaghetti sauce...
  23. They've acutally identified a "celiac induced schizophrenia"?
  24. Doctor's do know a lot and can be helpful with celiac disease. I know there's a lot of bad blood between Celiacs and doctors, I have issues with them as well, but ultimately, they are there to help and can do a lot for people with celiac disease. They do have access to the same information we do and more. I'm not ready to write off all doctors just because...
  25. Whoops! Sorry for the quote thingy above. I didn't say that the tests would all be conclusive at this point. I said I think the biopsy could be ok to do and the reason I THINK it would be ok is that villi damage takes so many months to heal. If those villi grew back quickly, that would be one thing. But from what I know, they take a loooooong time to...
