    Happy birthday and may God bless you today!

    You could use funyuns on the green bean casserole (they are gluten free). As far as the stove top stuffing substitute, I'd make the gluten free stuffing recipe listed in this forum. Hope this helps! Happy Thanksgiving!!!

    If you live in Knoxville, Seymour, Sevierville, or the Smokies (or are familiar with this area)...I need your help!! My husband and I will be traveling to the Knoxville/Smokies area this August for a second honeymoon. Because of my dietary limitations/restrictions, we are trying to plan ahead but unfortunately aren't finding the information we were...

    Okay, I am back from my gluten-free weekend in Raleigh and just wanted to write how it went so if anyone else has a question about these restaurants they can read about my experience. NOTE: This is based off of my experiences with the restaurants listed below in Raleigh, North Carolina. Ted's Montana Grill- Hostess had NO clue what gluten-free meant,...

    I will be going to Raleigh, NC this weekend as a youth sponsor on a church trip and have found online that Carrabbas Italian Grill, Ted's Montana Grill, and PF Changs have gluten free menus. I would appreciate so much any insight you can provide: 1) Has anyone had experiences with any/all of these restaurants (anywhere)? 2) Positive -OR- negative...

    How do you make your chebe' bread as crust? I'm using the original mix b/c I didnt too much like the garlic mix. What cheese do you use? THANKS!!!

    Thank you SO much for writing...you are right in that your story sounds SO similar to mine. More so than you know b/c I too used to write my feelings out in poetry. I know I need to find someone to talk to and I'm looking into that b/c I know that my issues go back further than my diagnosis. Thank you for your encouragement and good luck in your continued...

    Thank you all so much for your words of encouragement, prayers, and positivity...you have truly been a blessing to me this week and I greatly appreciate it! I just wanted to share a happy thing with you....after your suggestions that I really celebrate the accomplishment of being gluten free for one year I ordered myself some Chebe' Bread from the Gluten...

    I just got this email from Cracker Barrel in response to my inquiry about gluten-free menu items. This may have been on here before, but I just wanted to pass it along to everyone: Dear Heather S, Thank you for taking the time to contact us here at Cracker Barrel Old Country Store. We appreciate receiving your inquiry and we do understand your concern...

    I like your perspective! I think I'll order some Chebe' bread and make me a nice big "meatlovers" pizza this weekend. That's one thing I neglect to do....order specialty gluten-free foods that I can't get locally. I usually try to just make it off of the few things that I can buy in town which leads to a lot of repetition of meals. I know that not...
  11. glutenfreeheather
    Aww...thank you SO much for your quick and kind responses (everyone!). I honestly have been trying to do this all on my own and have been ashamed to mention this to anyone. I guess I felt safe on here that ya'll wouldn't judge me and that someone would be able to relate. I am feeling better just knowing you guys are out there reading this and responding...
  12. glutenfreeheather
    Believe me....I know it's not as bad as it could be and have been reminded of that countless times by well-meaning family and friends. I do count it a blessing that it's not worse than it is, but that doesn't make the difficult days any easier and the difficult days have become more and more frequent. I appreciate your optimism though. I used to be that...
  13. glutenfreeheather
    Oh my gosh! Sounds like your doctor is an insensitive jerk AND a moron! Do not be embarrassed...your doctor should be the embarrassed one! Obviously he doesn't know much about celiac or he'd already know that celiac doesn't mean underweight like previously thought. YOU NEED TO GET A NEW GASTROENTEROLOGIST!!! I drive an hour each way to get to mine b...

    Wow....14 years! I am truly inspired by you! Congratulations on this milestone!
  15. glutenfreeheather
    Okay, I just passed the one year gluten-free mark and just when I thought I had everything under control....I start feeling depressed, really depressed. I thought I had accepted my diagnosis and had just learned to deal with what I've been dealt, but apparently I hid my true feelings even from myself. There are days at lunch when I just bawl my eyes out...

    LOL.....considering who this person was, that would have been CLASSIC...too bad I didn't think of that at the time Thanks for the laugh Yeah, it was frustrating...I don't know if anyone else caught it but Soledad was talking to a nutritionist about celiac in regards to the glutened McDonald's french fries issue. I was so frustrated...
  17. glutenfreeheather
    I have been to many social gatherings and felt like the outcast in the room because I couldn't eat what everyone else was eating. It's a very lonely and depressing feeling, but it's even worse when some ignorant person adds to what you're already dealing with inside by making some comment about your situation. SOCIAL EATING EVENT HORROR STORY......

    I will NEVER eat at McDonald's EVER again.....anything! THINK ABOUT IT....If they were wrong about the fries, what else are they wrong about?! Heather North Carolina

    My hubby and I lived in Knoxville, TN all four years of college (graduated in 2002) and we honeymooned in the Smokies in 2001 therefore we are quite familiar with the Knoxville/Sevierville/Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg area. HOWEVER, when we lived there I was not yet diagnosed with celiac. We will be going on a second honeymoon in August to that area and I will...

    I emailed Starbucks the other day and they sent me an email back telling me I had to call them to get the information I wanted about gluten-free products. So, today I called and they just told me over the phone what was and was not gluten-free. Here's what I was told: Most beverages are gluten-free EXCEPT: java chip, mocha chip, anything with malt, and...

    Thank you guys so much!! I can use all the help I can get as I am still taking baby steps to learn what I can/cannot have. And with all of the debate on whether certain foods are gluten-free or not it makes figuring out this life so much more difficult! Thanks for helping me!!! You guys are wonderful!!
  22. glutenfreeheather
    Thank you for your response...I don't know if I mentioned this earlier, but my hubby is a youth minister here in NC. We are both Bible College grads as well. Jer. 29:11 is my favorite verse and I have been teaching it to the teen girls in our youth group. It has comforted me throughout this whole process of being diagnosed with celiac. As far as your...

    Okay, I am so confused right now. Hopefully some of you smarties can help me out! I have been researching gluten free foods and recipes, etc. a lot lately but one thing I've noticed is that some things that are supposedly gluten-free contain ingredients that I've been told are not gluten-free! Has anyone else found this to be a problem? For example...
  24. glutenfreeheather
    Thank you Sharon! You are right about learning from this site. I have become almost addicted to reading and searching this site over the past few days! And, it is so encouraging to hear from others, like yourself, who understand what this feels like and can provide insight or advice for what I'm going through! You are also right about needing a nutrionist...
  25. glutenfreeheather
    WOW...Thank you again Jen...you are awesome and have a plethroa of knowledge!! You probably don't even know just how helpful you've been to me. It's easy to get depressed when you feel like your whole world has been turned upside-down. I've been struggling through that lately. My hubby is a youth minister and we are both bible college grads and it still...
