    Thank you! You know it's gotta be good if it's offered in the larger containers. Nancy

    I would keep a couple of new ones and mark the lids and bases as being gluten-free. Try and use just those for a while, then try the old ones. You should be able to tell if he's reacting to anything that might be left in the scratches. Best case scenario would be to replace everything just too be safe, but all that stuff really adds up. I didn't throw...

    I know what you mean. You just think about how many YEARS you've been eating gluten, then you go off of it for just a matter of days. It just smacks you in the face. It's the most bizarre thing isn't it? Nancy

    Happy Birthday!! Nancy

    About six months before I found out about gluten, I had a chance to go to Europe all expenses paid. I had to turn it down because at that point I couldn't even go to Walmart without having problems. It was unfathomable to even imagine trying to get through a 14-hour flight. The good news, for me, is that my husband's mom was born and raised in Germany...

    I'm thinking about switching us over from peanut butter to almond butter or some other alternative. My kids, 2 and 4, like peanut butter, but I worry about them having traces of peanut butter on their hands when they're around other kids. (There are a couple kids at my daughter's preschool with peanut allergies.) We've just been eating peanut butter...

    These are more junk food type things, but they're gluten-free. Cool Ranch Doritos Mission Tortilla Chips and Salsa Easy Cheese (the spray stuff) - not the bacon kind, but American, Cheddar and Sharp Cheddar are all gluten-free. Either use it to stuff celery or on gluten-free crackers. Lays Stax, most flavors are, not sure about all. ...

    Hey! Maybe that's why he got so mad at the money changers selling stuff in front of the temple that he chased them off with a whip and overturned their tables. Maybe it was all the gluten at the wedding the night before. John 2:14-16 14 In the temple courts he found men selling cattle, sheep and doves, and others sitting at tables exchanging...

    Isn't that site great. Before that was up, I found this one from the NIH - Open Original Shared Link I've brought a copy of that to every doctor I've gone to. Just in case they start talking about the old beliefs about celiac. They see the source of the information and take it very seriously. Nancy

    The National Institutes of Health has launched a National Awareness Campaign specifically geared toward doctors and other healthcare workers. Open Original Shared Link Maybe the information is finally filtering through. Nancy

    That's awful. I'm sorry you're having so many problems. In my gluten-eating days, I used to really try to bake bread. My grandmother used to bake all their bread by hand up until she was in her 70's. I always loved it, so every once in a while I just wanted some homemade bread. 90% of the time I spent 5 hours to end up with unrisen hockey pucks...

    Ugh. That's awful. For some reason this type of story is so common here. It's almost like those movies where a person decides to go off drugs or alcohol and all their friends get mad. (They say that wheat has opiate qualities, so maybe at some point they will discover that that's got some truth to it.) People just go freaking nuts on you. My...

    I did JUST the gene test. I had already done some trials of the gluten free diet and knew for sure that gluten was my problem. My husband thougth I was off on another health kick and wasn't being supportive. I did the genetic test (showed gluten sensitivity, not celiac) pretty much just to shut him up. We tested our kids this past summer with just...

    Would you be comfortable posting your results? We could probably be more helpful with more information. There is controversy about going just by the genetics because it seems like most people (at least the ones who are on this board have at least two copies of the gluten sensitive genes, which may not be very helpful in figuring out if you have an active...

    I doubt it's doubt , but a lot of us who have been on this board for a long time feel like sometimes we jump the gun when it comes to thinking someone has gluten issues. We try and remind ourselves that not everything is celiac and try not to be too pushy with people who are in the process of figuring it all out. We just don't want to be too pushy or...

    Also, keep in mind that the same exact product can have different ingredients in different countries. For example, Lea and Perrins Worchestershire Sauce is gluten-free in the US, but not in Canada. If you can list the ingredients, we can let you know if it looks gluten-free, or if there's anything you need to verify with the company. Like Pink Bunny...

    There are a lot of copycat recipes of different things on the internet. If you put something like this in for a websearch (including the quotes and pluses) you'll get a pretty specific result. +"heinz 57" +recipe Then just look in the results for words like copycat or homemade and you should be able to find a couple options. Here's one I found. ...

    First of all, stop taking Gas-X. The chewable type has gluten in it. Not sure about the other styles. Tums also has gluten. Immodium tablets are gluten-free (I think the liquid has gluten). Try immodium tablets. I had also been taking Gas-X quite a bit right before I found out about gluten. It sounds from your reaction to the gluten-free diet...

    Yep, that's exactly what I thought too.

    I've had excellent luck using Annalise Robert's flour mix, which is similar to Bette Hagman's. I've been able to use Annalise's mix as a direct 1:1 substitute in all the family christmas cookie recipes I've tried so far. The extra fine brown rice flour is made by Authentic Foods, in the gold metallic bag. You want potato starch, not potato flour,...

    Poop is always a reasonable topic here. Are you sure you've got all gluten out of your diet? It sounds like a food reaction to me. All the places gluten can hide take a while to find. Soy sauce and salad dressings are two places I never suspected at first. Also, guarding against cross contamination can't be emphasized enough. Same with personal...

    There are a lot of intellectual people here, now that you mention it. It would be an interesting thing to study. I think that GFP, who used to post here, brought up the possible connection of celiac / swedish / shyness. It was a discussion asking how many people here are shy in real life, and there were quite a few. He mentioned that maybe it's due...

    While you're still eating gluten, you also probably have no idea how sick you actually are. Once you detox, you'll get to the point where you wouldn't eat gluten if someone paid you to. The first step is always the hardest. Why not break it down more? It can get overwhelming to get your brain around the "no gluten for the rest of your life" concept...

    I use the shampoo and conditioner from www.gfsoap.com . I'm really sensitive and will sometimes get gluten reactions to shampoos even if there are no gluten ingredients listed. A lot of Pantene is gluten-free, but my hair looks awful when I use it, although it works great for most people. After experimenting with a lot of mainstream brands and...
