ARCHIVED Corn Tortillas
hez replied to grantschoep's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
grantschoep, I live in Colorado as well and I have yet to find a large size corn tortilla. I would be interested to find one myself. I miss burritos. Hez -
I am so sorry you have been glutened! It feels horrible. I have been using various Dove products for several months and have not had any issues. I do not have any information about Dove and cross contamination, sorry. Feel better soon. Hez

I just tried this recipe today and I love it! The consistancy and taste are great. Much better than the Bette Hagman recipe I use. Hez

ARCHIVED gluten-free Triscuit Recipe?
hez replied to RiceGuy's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
That is the one thing I miss, Tricuits! There is something about the texture and flavor that I love with cheese and dips. I would love to know of an alternative. Hez -
I made a pecan pie for Thanksgiving using the gluten free pantry pie crust mix. I thought it turned out great. The instructions have you rolling the pie dough between two sheets of plastic wrap, peeling off the top layer, laying the pastry in the pan then peel off the top layer). This seemed to work really well. Then did my Martha Stewart pecan pie filling...

ARCHIVED Two Different Items....two Possible Glutens
hez replied to Mahee34's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I have noticed with kids (do not have celiac disease) that apple juice is great for constipation. I am not sure what it is about the juice. Hez -
Thank you so much for the replies. I am so excited about the possibility of a vacation without getting sick. Hez

We are finally taking our first vacation since my dx. We are taking the kids to Disneyland! I have read alot about Disney being celiac friendly and our friends will be there at the same time. I am looking for any and all advice about eating gluten-free at Disney. I am the only one in the family that has it. However, I would really like to avoid being...

ARCHIVED 17 Month Old Diagnosed With Celiac
hez replied to minixtyler's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Yes, you can have celiac and be able to have dairy. For many of us that have extensive damage dairy is not an option. Dairy can be hard to digest and if your villa are not standing up it makes it that much harder. I have been gluten-free since April and have just now started adding milk back into my diet with little problem. That said there are many celiacs... -
ARCHIVED "gluten Free" Cookieis/candy
hez replied to PreOptMegs's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I think this issue will be coming up more and more as the new labeling laws take effect. From what I understand the new laws (United States) are very strict about labeling for the top 8 allergens. So, even something that we would consider gluten free (the company uses good practices, says it is safe, uses separate lines) could contain this warning if in... -
For those of you that enjoyed the Kroger brand of corn pops, your enjoyment is over! It was a sad morning when I reached for the new box and just by chance read the label. They have started adding wheat starch. This is new, it used to be safe. Hez

I just baked a loaf of bread and dinner rolls using Breads from Anna. I have to say it is the best product I have tried! I used my kitchen aid to mix it and dumped the poduct in a loaf pan and a muffin tin for the rolls. I let it rise, which to my horror it did not. Went ahead and baked it thinking it was ruined! It turned out great. I am not sure...

ARCHIVED Still Having Diarhea But Gf
hez replied to melisadki's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Recovery time is different for everyone and it is dependent on how bad the damage is. If it was caught sooner than later it will take less time for your body to heal. In my case the damage was severe so I am still in recovery mode. I have been gluten-free since April. I think with time you will find peace with the diet and not find it so limiting. I... -
Nini, I am so glad that you had a great time and did not get sick! I was fun to feel social again. Hez

Well I did it! I had a wonderful evening out. And I am not sick! The waiter could not have been nicer. He knew about the menu and had no problem answering my questions. He assured me that the chefs were well trained and very careful. I know others on this site have been glutened at Outback so I was skeptical. The salmon and vegies were wonderful. ...

Before my dx going out to eat was my favortie thing to do. I love food! I enjoyed trying new resturants and not cleaning up. However, my husband hated to spend the money so we never did go out much. He always said it was because my cooking was so good. I know it had more to do with him being thrifty (he hates the word cheap). I too will be extra friendly...

I actually sent a e-mail to the company thanking them and wishing them success in their trials. I received a reply from Blake Paterson thanking me for my interest and a link to the University of Maryland. My hope is the more we understand and possibly treat/cure maybe other future celiacs will avoid the pain that so many of us have had to go thru. Hez

ARCHIVED Gluten Reaction In My 2 1/2 Year Old
hez replied to circeannc's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
I am not sure how others react or if there is a difference between adults and children. That said I know within two hours if I have been glutened. It starts with very loud rumbly stomach, progresses to horrible intestinal cramps and then goes into the big d. For me it seems to take almost a month to recover. Some days I seem okay and then more d. Is... -
We have good friends coming to visit for a few hours tonight. We agreed to go to Outback because they have a gluten-free menu. I am still nervous. I was glutoned a few weeks ago at a cocktail party and still seem to be recovering. I had two slices of cheese and some pear. They were on a plate with bread. I knew better. I should have asked how the cheese...

ARCHIVED Nutritional/snack Bars
hez replied to Kasey'sMom's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
For a quick snack I really like the Glutino Bars in apple and blueberry. I have never tried the chocolate. They remind me of a nutrigrain bar and a newton cookie combined into one. -
After much stalling I finally did it! I made homemade chocolate chip cookies! The only thing I changed was the flour. I substituted gluten-free flour for the regular flour. I was surprised by how good they were. I am not sure you could tell the difference between mine and the ones made with flour. Now on to banana bread and sugar cut out cookies. ...

Some of Amy's soups are gluten free as well as Sheltons. Hez -
