    I have heard that gluten-free bread only needs one rise cycle while regular bread needs two rise cycles. Having not tried my bread machine I can not say if it only has one rise. Hez

    This was one of my gifts! It looks really nice on my counter. I have not had the time or the energy to use it yet. Anyone have good recipies for a bread maker? Hez

    I was under the impression that wine and champagne are not things I need to worry about. Anyone know of a specific brand of wine or champagne that contain gluten? Hez

    I do alot of my shopping at King Soopers (owned by Kroger, carries Kroger brand). The best thing to do is contact them about a specific item. They do not have a list (that I am aware of) but will tell you if a Kroger product is gluten-free. Hez

    I am the only one that has celiac disease. The majority of the dinners I serve are gluten-free. However, I do make fish sticks and mac and cheese for them on occasion. But I hate the cc issues. Problem solved! I found Annies boxed (dry) gluten-free mac and cheese at Wild Oats. It uses rice pasta and is made in a gluten-free facility. It was good...

    I do find aspects of this disease difficult. I do fine at home and do not want the gluten things my family eats. Partly because I know how sick I will get. Plus I have found substitutes for most things or stuff is gluten-free. However, I do miss the ease of eating out. Going where you want to go. I miss not having to think about it. Although it is...

    Thank you! I will go to the store and check the ingredients before I go. I will have the staff double check the dressing when I am there. Hez

    For a period of my life I had to distance myself from my mother (not related to celiac). It was hard, lonely and very sad. However, it was neccessary for me to do this to be healthly. During that period I surrounded myself with really good friends. I am so sorry they are unsupportive. Hez

    I am going out tomorrow night and found out the dinner theatre uses Kraft dressings. Are the food service dressings different than the store? Do you know of any unsafe Kraft dressings to avoid? I think they have blue cheese, creamy italian, honey mustard. Thanks, Hez

    Hopefully, someone more knowledgeable than I (and a better speller) will add to this post. From what I have read the word spice could indicate gluten. However, with the new labeling laws it would have to state if it at least had wheat (the law does not cover gluten, just wheat). Depending on the product it may be best to contact the company or look online...

    Great! I will try making it again. I hate boiling the noodles even before dx. Hez

    Steph, I love to cook and always have! I have found that alot of my "old" cookbooks are naturally gluten-free with a few changes. Do you have any cookbooks that you could skim thru for ideas? I made a wonderful chicken cachatore (I can cook but can not spell) with rice and vegies, tried a spoon bread the other night (Cooking Light magazine) with salad...

    ARCHIVED Communion Wafers

    hez replied to Caeli's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    I am an Episcopalian and have worked out a communion rice cracker with my priest. However, my husband is Catholic so I understand (somewhat) the challenges you face with communion. I would highly reccomend speaking to your priest. From what I understand having just the wine "counts" as communion. I remember reading a thread where the catholic celiac has...

    Has anyone seen/tried PeryO's? I saw an ad for the cereal in my Living Without magazine. I have looked in the stores here and can't find them. If I could find a close knock off of Cheerios I would be happy Hez

    I have heard that most balsamic vinegars are safe. I was concerned about one that I had because it had carmel color and it was made in Italy. To be safe I got rid of it. However, I read on a thread somewhere that the vinegar I threw out was probably safe. Keep in mind I am not an expert. Hez

    I am still waiting to gain weight! I have been gluten-free since April, starting feeling better in August. My gi doc and I are hoping that I gain weight soon. Hez

    I have yet to make gluten-free lasagna. Before dx I would not boil the noodles. Can we do that with gluten-free? Hez

    Neko, Our family had planned a trip to S Dakota last summer. However, we canceled the trip in spring when I got my dx. I could barely eat at home, could not imagine travel at that time. We still would really like to visit. Please keep me posted on how the trip goes! Good luck and welcome to the board. Hez

    Love tykianda (help someone with spelling) pasta, pizza crusts by kinniknnick and breads from Anna (www.glutenevolution.com). Hez

    I have not been denied life insurance but that is because I got it prior to diagnosis! I have been denied the cheap life insurance rate because of back pain (that does not kill you). I think they can deny you the cheapest rate with this or any other disease. Keep in mind they do not understand celiac disease. This was a decision that my husband and...

    Please let your wife know that she is not alone. There is a entire board of people here! For me I had to take baby steps with the gluten-free life. I tackled one issue at a time instead of trying to do everything at once. There is power in knowing what is wrong. I would also recomend finding a support group. If one cannot be found have her write her...

    I have heard (do not know if it is true) that it is not unuaual to have "d" after trying oats. The reasoning is that celiacs are not used to that much fiber. However, once the body is used to the increase in fiber the "d" should go away. Hez

    I have tried the banana bread mix and was not crazy over it. However, after adding more bananas and making muffins (instead of a loaf of bread) I love it. Heather

    I am sorry to hear that your daughter is sick. It is a horrible feeling to watch your kids not feeling well. For me, the reaction is within an hour to an hour and a half. However, for my Mom (not confirmed celiac disease just feels better gluten-free) her reaction can not appear for several days. I think each of our bodies is so different it is hard...
