Hey there just wanted to warn anyone that has other allergies- these crackers may not be a good choice! I'm mildly sensitive to MSG- I only react if there's a giant amount like in Chinese food or Ramen noodles, etc. I literally have a to eat TONS of a the offending food before reacting. Anyway, I was excited to try these Trader Joes pumpkin crackers...

The one in Lawton OK,I love them now! The manager was AWESOME, he actually is the one that took my phone order- had no problem helping me decide what was gluten-free. The eggs have no additives- just plain eggs with whatever you order in them. When I got there to pick it up, I noticed they had several separate grills- one doing eggs, one hash browns...

Kmag are your outbreaks pretty much a rare thing now? I'm hoping that since mine are mild they won't come back almost ever after going gluten-free. *crossing fingers*

This is my first blog entry so I'm gonna keep it light. Plus I'm typing from my phone so that makes it tough to write a quality blog From my phone because walking to work! Hey celiac bloggers, I'm Stephanie, 36, an RN, and I walk 1.8 miles to work every morning so my teenager can keep the car. Lol people never understand that, and I don't understand how...

Good morning all! I finally figured out how to get pics here from my phone. Soooo here are my pics if anyone would like to share an opinion. Ok a little FYI info... 1. Rash didn't start until about 5 years ago, and this is about the 10th time I've had it. 2. These pics are 10 days into the rash, so I know they look very mild but I forgot to take...

Aw your rash looks super uncomfortable I hope it heals soon

OMGOSH I've had the worst time trying to reply to this. Anyhoooo..... Thank you tons for all the useful info, squirmingitch! And pricklypear.... What are the big offenders for iodine? Milk and seafood? I'm not gonna go psycho with it, I'd rather just ride it out then drive myself batty. My DH usually only lasts 2-3 weeks at most. But if there are big...

I have a loaf of Udi's in the fridge right now! good to know its not awful, I haven't tried it yet and I won't feel bad when I set a date to stop buying the Sarah Lee. The support in this place is awesome, thanks Nvsmom- kudos for the recipe! I'm kinda excited about figuring out new yummy stuff to make

Oh I forgot to add, I am definitely taking pictures along the way, but the journal is a great idea I had t thought of. Starting tonight

If I had an extra $200 I would actually consider that.... But considering I just spent $300 turning my kitchen gluten free I'm a little budget right LOL. But thank you sooo much! You make a really good point about my daughter and the college meal plan... When we've discussed this issue she says she will eat whatever can't live without sliced bread...

That was the most informative and awesome reply ever! Thanks adalaide! I will investigate the milk issue. I am hesitant to think iodine affects me that much because I love the heck out of seafood and have never ever had any reaction. But again, I don't know much about it regarding celiac disease so I'm definitely rolling to learn and try it. My daughter...

I personally do not plan on receiving a formal physician's diagnosis for celiac disease. I am 10000000% I have celiac disease, as well as my daughter. We also do not have insurance. When she goes to college in 18 months, we will both have insurance, but we will be healed enough by then that surely any tests will be negative, and I'm not going to live in...

Oh man I knew nothing about iodine. This is a bit overwhelming. Well I'm a milk maniac, I will check tomorrow about ours, it will probably be okay though because its Braums (local) and they're motto is no additives/medications/etc Thanks y'all so much for the info Love, ItchyA$s

Hi all. First I'd like to say I am new to celiac and tomorrow is my first day gluten free. Can someone help me with tips/pointers on itching relief until the rash subsides? This is the worst I've ever had it, it's on my trunk and butt and arms/neck. It's not as awful as some pics I've seen but the little microblisters are there, and I'm itching EVERYWHERE...
