ARCHIVED Glutened - Help! Can't Deal With It!
Lisa replied to Miserable29's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
Welcome Miserable! Hopefully you can change your user name shortly. There are several chain restaurants who offer gluten free menus. It is also a a risk due to staff uneducation. It's often advised to eat naturally for a month or two, until you have some intestinal healing behind you. Eat at home and cleanly. Once you feel better, you can venture... - 
	Does the year invalidate the study? I offered the study, because I found it of interest and someone else may also. I don't argue on this forum. Feel free to if you wish.

ARCHIVED Endangered Species Chocolate Bars
Lisa replied to sunshinen's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
They are all gluten free to my knowledge. Chocolate of any sort, gives me terrible reflux. Just one of those things..... -

ARCHIVED gluten-free Chocolate Cake
Lisa replied to JoyfulGF's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I expect that you will get a variety of answers. Hands down the best is Pamela's Chocolate Cake Mix. It's fudgie and decadent! I often add different flavorings like Raspberry or Mint. And I get many compliments from company when I serve it. You can dress it up with ice cream and drizzled with raspberry sauce or a sprig of mint. It's YUMMY! - 
	
ARCHIVED Con Agra Response To gluten-free Inquiry
Lisa replied to elocin71's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Yup! Con Agra is one of the good guys. I like to support them in every way I am able. - 
	Yes, you are a smart lady! Take some time to be careful about your diet and learn new things. Give it some time. Keep a food diary or anything that can enter your mouth. Keep a daily account. It might revel an issue. When you recover from your cause, you recovery will be back.
 - 
	Have you checked on the gluten free status of the supplements that you take? Revisit everything that goes into your mouth. You are relatively new to the diet, as intense as it may be, it's had to know the ins and outs. It can be complicated. That's why we are here to help. AND, depending on your level of damage, it may take some more time to feel...

ARCHIVED Macaroni And Cheese Question
Lisa replied to Kelleybean's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
No stupid questions allowed here! Yes, gluten free pasta can get mushy when over cooked. If in a casserole, I would under cook and add EXTRA liquid. I'm not an expert at casseroles. I do tend to make them too dry. So add extra liquid. And never liked it enough to freeze it. But, that's just me. You can buy Kraft Mac & Cheese in the box... - 
	I love to cook and share. I only cook gluten free, but will offer my guests some french bread or rolls - which I micro or warm in oven on foil. Or I might offer some real crackers with a spread or cheese, which I obviously don't eat. Glutino offers some really great seasoned bagel chip, that fools everyone. And I never mention the word "gluten free"....

Lisa replied to kells's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hi kells and Welcome! Here is the full panel that you need for Celiac Testing: Anti-Gliadin (AGA) IgA Anti-Gliadin (AGA) IgG Anti-Endomysial (EMA) IgA Anti-Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA Deamidated Gliadin Peptide (DGP) IgA and IgG Total Serum IgA You must be on a full gluten diet, for 6 - 8 weeks for the optimum accuracy in testing. - 
	Although it's been an interesting and humorous thread, it might be best to remain on topic regarding the question about the possible harmful effects of coffee. The original poster has had his query answered, many times. (But, must add Goldfish with urgent and frequent diarrhea would not be a good thing.)

ARCHIVED Reese's Cups Minis
Lisa replied to Stubborn red head's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Sensitivity levels vary from person to person. I don't have a problem with shared equipment. They are generally pretty cleaned. YOU have to find your comfort zone on this. -

Open Original Shared Link Yeah! - 
	I fell for it too! I think you either love Okra or hate it, kinda thing. I would never eat it until I moved south 32 years ago. Along with those foods... fried shad or herring roe, fried livers and fried okra. Non of which I have had in a long time.

	I have only used it in Gumbo recipes. Here are a few: Open Original Shared Link Fried would be good too, but I'm not big on that. It's not worth the mess, IMHO.

ARCHIVED Problems With Cinnamon Chex Gluten Free Cereal
Lisa replied to Kelsmom's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Maybe you can try some almond milk...it might not the cereal, but the cows milk. When I first went gluten free, I initially felt better and then I started with issues again, shortly after. I stopped dairy for about a month and then reintroduced it, without issue. It's a common theme around here. I must add, that I really admired moms...
