    I'm glad your friend is so supportive and understanding. And you can always come here to vent. I can't imagine how you're going through this day after day. You're one tough chick! {{{{HUGS}}}} Nancy

    Ya know, I was wondering what was up with the green potatoes too. It's only been recently that I've noticed this. They seemed fine otherwise (not soft) so I've been using them with no problems. Potatoes usually last weeks, so I've been puzzled by this too. I just found the Idaho Potato Board website, which has a lot of information. In the FAQ...

    If he's not knowingly getting gluten, he might be getting some hidden gluten somewhere. Check his personal care products -- shampoo, soap, chapstick, lotions, etc. I think I even heard of toothpaste once, but don't remember anymore. The point is, you have to check everything . Also, the common wisdom for non-celiacs is that products with oatmeal...

    I learned about this years ago from my alternative med doctor. Scary, scary. The most telling thing I think is that when my dad got diagnosed with stomach cancer, his doctors were adament that he avoid soy. I don't know, maybe it's harder to digest when you have stomach cancer, but I thought that that was really telling. I try to avoid soy as...

    WOW!!! That's awesome!!

    I LOVE ChelsE's picture. You look like a breath of joyous sunshine. My best friend from high school has that same gorgeous strawberry-blond hair that I always wish I could have, or at least pull off... I LOVE that some of my favorite people in the world are right here, and I've never met them in person. I love finding out I have celiac, or some...

    I hate that my cell phone got turned off because of the stupid phone company's billing mistake and it still hasn't been turned back on after three days. I hate making phone calls to people I don't know. Like calling the cell phone company over and over again. I hate that if I have to eat out, I have to talk to the manager. I hate drawing attention...

    I was wondering about whether or not someone had taken a stab at gluten-free pate a choux yet or not. I came across this recipe. The author has a wheat allergy, not celiac, so some of her recipes aren't gluten-free, but this is. He uses glutinous rice flour (reminder: glutinous in the case of rice just means it's sticky, and doesn't contain gluten) as...

    I'm sitting here eating Envirokids Amazon Frosted Flakes right out of the box. Just like I used to eat Tony the Tiger Frosted Flakes. Yummy. And they're really good. Because really, there's no reason in the world that Corn Flakes need gluten. Raising a toddler is so hard. Especially if they're picky. The thing I read in an article written by...

    When I was growing up, my grandmother still made all her bread from scratch. Sometimes she would set aside some of the dough to make Fried Bread. It was after the last rising. She would put most of the bread in the oven, and while we were waiting for it to bake, she'd fry the bread. She'd just kind of pull a piece of dough off and flatten it out...

    Kinnikinnick has a wonderful Crispy Chicken Coating mix that I use for fried chicken once a week. My non-celiac husband loves it. They also make a General Coating Mix that I haven't tried yet. Open Original Shared Link I prefer frying in a big electric skillet. It's not "deep frying", but I like it because I can use it for more than frying, so...

    My husband and his parents all acted like that. They went so far to say that they thought that I was just trying to manipulate them into doing things for me (my main symptoms were mobility-related, and I couldn't even go grocery shopping by myself at one point), and that I wanted to be sick to get attention. These are normally supportive people, so...

    My FIL makes fried okra in cornmeal. It's not mushy or gooey like canned or steamed okra. I'm pretty sure he uses frozen. It's of the main things I look forward to at the holidays. That and my MIL's potato salad... Hmm.... I've got some recipes to get. Another one I thought of that my dad and his family used to do all the time was canned...

    I just confirmed with the company that Dynasty Hoisin and Plum Sauce are both gluten-free. I haven't used it yet, but was thinking I'd have to start reverse engineering my favorite chinese food soon, so just happened to check a few days ago.

    That's awesome! I haven't been to Chevy's since I went gluten-free. Did you have the chips and salsa too? That's my favorite.

    I have had a bad reaction for two evenings in a row. I've had the flu, so at first I thought it was that, or the Dayquil. But then last night, I had some ginger ale before bed, but didn't take any meds and got a really bad reaction. It seems like more than cross contamination, which is slightly less likely anyway right now because my husband is doing...

    Actually, there's so many good ideas in here. V8 soup is a great idea. And I'm going to have to try some tuna with oil and vinegar concoctions of my own. Tuna with mayo is such a habit I never think about other options. I used to do the mac and cheese with tuna that a friend of mine showed me. So yummy. The only weird thing I eat is apple slices...

    Wow! Thanks everybody for all the tips and advice. I'm feeling a lot better about eating out there. I will definitely get the dining cards. For some reason I forgot all about those. I'm another Rubio's fan who has been missing the fish tacos. We have one in our mall here. It would be so great if they developed a couple gluten-free options, and redid...

    I found this while looking for something else. Peter Benenson, the founder of Amnesty International, had celiac disease. "Peter Benenson Founder, Amnesty International Benenson set up Amnesty International in 1961 after reading an article about the arrest and imprisonment of two students in a café in Lisbon, Portugal who had drunk a toast to liberty....

    My husband and I are going to La Jolla in April for 4 nights as part of a yearly manager's retreat. This will be a trip with a lot of firsts for me. -- The first time traveling gluten-free. The first time being away from my kids for more than a weekend. The first time going to one of these things. AND... The first time I've met 95% of these people. ...

    www.minimus.biz has trial sizes of a lot of things. I know for sure that the soy sauces they have right now all have wheat, but minimus says that one of the brands is coming out with a wheat-free version soon. I had totally forgotten about them until a couple days ago when I got an email from them. I had ordered a ton of stuff from them while my BIL was...

    Sweetie, please don't ignore this. You owe it to yourself and your family and friends to be as healthy as you can be. My dad died of stomach cancer at 61, I now believe that he had undiagnosed celiac. At first, you might think that 61 isn't bad, but it was. At 61, my dad had retired, and was married to the love of his life. He was working on getting...

    One of the recent times I got glutened, I was experiencing the same thing. I knew it was out of hand when I saw a commercial for something gluten-y that I don't even like and I was craving it. Blech... Nancy

    I got this from allrecipes.com. Here's the link - Open Original Shared Link I used the whole recipe in two pounds of hamburger and it made amazing taco salad. Next time, I'm going to make up a ton of this so I can have it on hand. Nancy

    Men can get hormone deficiencies just as women do. Please look into the possibility of Testosterone Deficiency. My husband has testosterone deficiency and we didn't know what was wrong for years. He had no sex drive, he was tired all the time, had a hard time concentrating. Another sign that he has is very little chest, arm and leg hair, and his...
