  1. Thanks for the response. I'm wondering if it is some random ingredient in there, not related to gluten. I mean, if they say they are gluten free then I do trust them, and other products that are labelled gluten free have never bothered me. It's just this one thing. I made the mistake of buying the great big bag of hashbrowns when I saw they are gluten...
  2. I live in Oregon and they are all over around here, they are great!! So much better than regular corn tortillas, almost like the real thing!!!
  3. Orida Hash Browns ----So the bag says they're gluten-free, but every time I eat them I get sick, kinda like a mild gluten reaction, but sick enough to persuade me to not eat them. I've tried cooking them using a variety of oils, but no matter what I do, I get sick about 3 hours later - stomach cramps, bathroom visits, that sort of thing...nothing like an...
  4. Thanks, y'all, I'm feeling better today. It's really hard to completely change your lifestyle around food, I know that everyone here has had to do just that. It's frustrating how pivotal food is in our lives...and demoralizing when we can't participate in our lives the way we used to. I wish I was raised and used to the whole "just don't eat anything...
  5. ugh...before i figured out that gluten is my nemesis i ate out all the time. now, there's nowhere that has fast food that i can eat...i ate at subway yesterday morning, I've always had good luck with them...they get out the meat from the bottom of the stack, same with the cheese and all that...yesterday i went to subway for breakfast. last night by 10 pm...
  6. So, I'm gonna request my test results from my doc, I'm really curious now... Thank you all for your input, it's been really helpful!!!!
  7. Thank you all for the responses. I don't know if my mother has one copy or two. I also had a very positive biopsy and complete resolution of symptoms which is why my doc diagnosed celiac. Oh, and that was a couple of years ago. I just found out about the gene thing the other day. The other thing that concerns me is that I have four children who also...
  8. Hello all, So in 2011 I was tested for antibodies for celiac. Everything came out negative, but my doc did a biopsy anyway. That came back way positive. Then I went gluten free in Jan of 2012, and pretty much every symptom/bad thing/illness/problem I had completely went away! My doc then diagnosed me with celiac. Now, recently my sister did one of...
  9. so, my daughter received a free sample of this AST Enzymes Gluten Relief, that when take 5-10 minutes before a meal is supposed to somehow keep the gluten from irritating the system...really??? is it really that simple??? has anybody tried this stuff?? does it work??? i have diagnosed celiac, but she didn't want to wait for the testing so she just quit...
  10. Frankly, I am now terrified of McDonald's, it's in my psyche, kinda like getting food poisoning from eating something, it ruins you on it. I don't think I could bring myself to eat there if I had to...
  11. Thanks, yeah, i'm much better now...i've really learned to never take anything for granted and to double check EVERYTHING i eat...
  12. mmmmm........i'll have to try it!! thanks for the suggestion!! lovin' my mac & cheese!!!
  13. to finish... in excrutiating pain!! I went to the hospital and they were afraid of my intestines perforating...it was horrible!! Five hours of absolute hell!! I will never eat ANYTHING without checking the ingredients and knows for absolute certain that it is gluten-free. I was sick for three days after that, and the doc said I was lucky and to be...
  14. Oh, wow, a few months ago I was eating scrambled eggs, a piece of sausage, and a hash brown from McDonald's everyday for breakfast. I wasn't having a reaction, so I thought everything was fine, I mean really - it's just eggs, potatoes, and sausage, it'll be ok...uh, no...two weeks later I discovered my system shut down and wasn't digesting anything and I...
  15. Yeah, I'm sooo excited!! They sell it online, it's like $5 a box, but I split one box into two different meals, and even those were like two servings each time. This is their website: Open Original Shared Link
  16. I think the link works!! Yay me!!
  17. Yeah!! It does!! It cooks just like normal. I don't have to rinse it or anything! It has a normal texture, it's not gritty, or mushy, or chewy, or slimy or anything! I used it with the cheese sauce packet that comes with Velveeta shells and cheese (which is of course, gluten free!) and even my very, very, very picky son liked it more than his normal mac...
  18. I'm sure most of you already know, but... So after searching and searching and trying and trying, I have finally found a great gluten-free pasta!!! It's called Shar, with an umlaut over the "a." It's a corn flour and rice flour mix, and it actually tastes like normal pasta. It even doesn't have that nasty rice goop that you have to rinse off after cooking...

  21. they sell Annie's stuff at my local grocery store...I'll give it a try. Thanks!!!
  22. Velveeta is gluten free?????
  23. i have noticed since i quit eating gluten that if i do eat it, a large amount of it, i'm fine for about 24 hours, then the burning, churning pain starts up. the second time i ate gluten, the next day i was vomiting and thought i was going to pass out in the mall! it was as bad or worse than it ever was! and then i had a horrible headache for the next 2 days...
  24. Almost 30 days gluten free-with only 2 mistakes (which i paid for dearly!) Last night I made my kids mac & cheese. I wanted some soooooo bad!!!! I almost gave in, but I didn't!! I was so frustrated, i almost gave and and thought, "to hell with it! i will go through the 3 days of hell to just taste it!!" but i didn't... any suggestions on the...
  25. wow, i've never heard of that. I certainly hope that works for others too! It beats the heck out of urticaria! i'm gonna give it a try, even though i quit sweating years ago, i just break out instead.
