    Thanks for posting this. That was always my problem with bagels too. Too heavy. Nancy

    GFP gave great answers, as usual. He's one of our many resident experts here. Feeling better can be an up and down thing. You also may be starting to be more sensitive to it. Are you guarding against cross-contamination? If you live in the same house as other people who eat gluten, you may be getting some cross contamination. A lot of the...

    Hi Moscow - Welcome to the board! The dazed and confused feeling is what we refer to as "brain fog". It can take a while to feel better. Part of it is just the healing process and part of it is gettin used to the diet and avoiding the hidden gluten; gluten appearing where you wouldn't expect. It does take a while to get everything figured out...

    Remember that a lot of personal care products - shampoo, conditioner, other hair products, cosmetics, nail stuff, lotions, etc. have gluten in them. So keep that in mind if you share it. Nancy

    Yea, I've never used it for baking. I use a different mix for that. No bean flour in my cookies, thanks. Blech.. I think that because sauces are a loose mix, it doesn't need the xanthan gum like a baked good would. And because it's savory I think somehow the bean taste melds with those flavors unlike with sweet flavors. Nancy

    Ryan, you're so sweet. What a thoughtful gift. You're starting to get it that until you KNOW for sure that something is gluten-free, EVERYTHING is suspect. I'm glad Alex was able to sleep comfortably last night. Keep coming back. We can't wait to meet Alex too when she feels up to it. Nancy

    Yep. She has celiac disease. I can't remember which prominent celiac doctor said this, but he said that a positive celiac blood test is like having a positive pregnancy test. You can't be a little bit pregnant, and you can't be a little bit celiac. I hope she decides to go on the gluten-free diet, AND get a new doctor. Nancy

    Totally small world!!! Who would'a thought huh? I don't know if you've talked to Jacqui, but it turns out she and I live within 1/4 mile of each other. We'll have to get together every once in a while. I'll PM you sometime in the next few days. I've got to clean my house before I go to bed just in case someone calls wanting to look at the house...

    I haven't tried it yet, but it's one of those names that I've seen other people mentioning having good luck with. It's so great when you can keep a tradition that you thought you wouldn't be able to. I never thought of Red Velvet Cake on Valentine's Day. What a cool tradition. Enjoy your cake. Nancy

    I have two copies of DQ1, subtype 6 (DQ6). When I first found out my genetics, someone here told me that it was associated with hypersensitivity to gluten and neuro/pain/mood issues in addition to GI issues. I just met someone on here who has DQ6 and she has so many of the same symptoms as I did that it's scary. So I guess you could call that a...

    I second Bob's Red Mill. I use it as a direct substitute in all my sauces/gravies. Works and tastes great. Even used it for Christmas Eve dinner (we made Beef Stroganoff) and none of my gluten-eating family could tell a difference. Nancy

    I had negative blood tests and negative biopsy too. Trying the gluten-free diet is the only completely reliable way to determine if gluten poses a problem for you. Nancy
  15. Nantzie
    Is this the one where you have to eat gluten? Or is that another one? Nancy

    For my daughter's preschool class the teacher used a book called Eating Gluten-Free with Emily -- Open Original Shared Link .com/Eating-Gluten-Free-E...8535495-7930438 After they read the book the kids totally got it, and it wasn't a big deal. Nancy

    Oh my gosh!!! Dr. Davies is my kids' ped GI too! She's great. You're in good hands. I don't know of an allergist though. And Jacqui - I live in Antelope too. I'm off Poker and Don Julio, near the Kohl's. But I'm moving to Folsom next Friday. AAARRRGGG!!! I've been a Roseville (area) girl most of my life. Making the move to Folsom is...

    I didn't have buttermilk (kept forgetting to buy it) so I used a buttermilk substitute that I read about -- You use milk and for every cup of milk, add a teaspoon of lemon juice. It worked fine, although I'm sure real buttermilk works better. I'm also happy to report that it tastes good cold out of the refrigerator too. I'm SO making coleslaw...

    I'm not sure which of these you've got, but I'll tell you what my family thinks of both of them. If you're talking about "Pamela's Wheat-Free Bread Mix", we go through at least two loaves of it a week. Even my non-gluten-free husband eats it. I've even made hamburger buns out of it before. If you're talking about "Pamela's Ultimate Baking and...

    Angie!!! This is SOOOOOOOOO good. I agree with you that the seasoning is very KFC-ish. My husband thinks so too. I had to use a flour mix rather than just the rice flour, so I can't speak for texture. This is amazing. I'm going to go eat more now. Nancy

    Awesome! Nancy

    Geez... I didn't mean to start anything. Quinoa isn't common at all in the states unless you're already into health food before you get a celiac diagnosis. Most people have never heard of it. And since celiacs need to stay FAR from anything in the bulk bins, and would have to buy it in some sort of package (bag or box), it would have labels etc...

    Unfortunately, you don't grow out of celiac. It's not an allergy, which some kids will grow out of. Celiac is a genetic condition. Basically the gene is either switched on or switched off. Once it's on, there is no way to turn it back off. I'm sure they'll figure out how to do that someday though. The diet isn't as difficult as you'd expect...

    I had a similar situation. If I tried to eat "healthy" as far as what my health-concious friends and family ate, I felt awful. If I threw in the towel and ate junk all day long, I felt fine. My favorite junk foods? Many of them ended up being gluten-free. Even most of the candy bars I like ended up being gluten-free. I remember telling...

    I've been wondering about those... I've seen them at my local store and haven't tried them yet. It's good to see a positive review. I saw that you're in Northern CA. Whereabouts? I'm in the Sacramento area. Nancy
