    I am shocked that such a support group exists that would care about why people can eat gluten. That saddens me so much. Our group in Atlanta has every type person you can imagine in it that can't eat gluten for whatever reason. Without that group I would not know nearly what I do about where to shop in town, where to eat out, etc. Personally I wished I'd...

    Oh would one of you who as the 125 best gluten-free recipes cookbook please post the pumpernickel bread recipe in it? My hubby just loves it and he can eat gluten. I don't want to buy a book for one recipe. My Celiac Mother also like pumpernickel so she asked me for the recipe but they ran out Sat. at the dinner and I had no idea my hubby would be so in love...

    Thanks jaten! I, like Patti, am technically challenged but Firefox was easy to download and save to my desktop. Now I can see the whole screen. I think it's odd that I can view other things on that site with full screen but they are in another format than the CCN clips.

    I let them know about the video issue but I think it might be an individual computer thing. However, I've been able to view other video's on their site full size. If if is something on their end, I think they'll fix it. Please everyone - make sure to e-mail CCN and Heidi Collins via the link Karen posted above. It does make a difference! Thanks to everyone...

    kolka - the choc. chip cookies are what I'm making for the swap for those who are only gluten free. I just feel bad for the girl who's also dairy free so I'm making something GFDF for her. However we are getting a Trader Joe's here soon so I'll tell her about their gluten-free choc. chips.....that's good to know.

    Merangue cookies sounds like a good idea but WF has some that I can just buy instead of making them since I'm also making choc. chip cookes. Thanks for the idea. Maybe someone will come up with something else though. What about 123 gluten-free pan bars? You use veg. oil with them and eggs. Would those be considered dairy free?

    I am going to a gluten free cookie swap next month and one of our members (at least one) is also dairy free so I thought I'd try making some cookies they could have. I know someone is making a peanut butter cookie for the event that doesn't call for dairy so I can't make the same. Does anyone have any other suggestions? Also, I don't really know exactly...

    The CNN video clip from today can be seen on www.celiaccentral.org.

    Wow! What a story....so sorry you have such a thoughtless MIL. Luckily for me I can not relate at all. The worst thing my MIL did was ask me which cake I preferred at an Easter function. Everyone just busted up laughing since she only asked me....the only one who had eaten none of the cakes! It was really funny, even to me. I'm not sure how your DH feels...

    125 Best Gluten Free Recipes by Donna Washburn and Heather Butt. I'm only recommending this book as everyone went nuts over the pumpernickel bread a support member brought to our Thanksgiving Feast this past Sat., my DH included. He took home the left over bread and made a sandwich for lunch today. He ate it without heating and loves it. I don't really like...

    Hawkfire is right. We ALL need to e-mail Heidi so they see the huge need for more talk about Celiac in the media. Please everyone do you part. Together we can make a difference!

    I'm sorry about your results but I applaud your decision just to go gluten free with the kids and not put them through testing. I'd really like the words 'Celiac Sprue' not to be in my medical files now but that ship has sailed. You'll find all the help you need on the board. Don't be afraid to ask anything.....there's nothing that's off limits to this group...

    I made a version with the Health Valley soup but I didn't like the flavor so last week I used Progresso Creamy mush. soup and thickened with a roux of gluten-free flour/butter. It was better than what I used to make with Campbell's soup. My DH who never really liked any green bean casserole, seemed to like the new improved dish as much as I did.

    Lauren M - I don't recall the brand but Publix carries one that is gluten free, but it does not say so on the can. Don't know if any do. The company doesn't process wheat so there is no risk of cc as far as I understand it. For the freshest yams you can bake your own but I don't have that kind of time during my busy work season which happens to come in the...

    I don't like anything from Cause you're special line....it was so expensive that I thought it would be great. My favorite line is 123 for brownies, muffins, and pan bars and nothing else compares to them imho and I have tried about every brand of mixes you can get in the US.

    Personally I have been busy and mostly looking for help with baking but I'd like to add that GFP is really a great person and even told me where to shop in Paris while on vacation. He knew were my hotel was and told me right where to go accross the street. DH was concerned I told someone online where we were staying but I never said the exact date AND I doubted...

    Oh that's good to know. I'll probably have another one at my 2 year mark unless my blood work shows a problem before that. I may try and get that camera pill instead if that would work...had a bad biopsy experience so I dread ever having another one. Glad you are doing so well. I think the body's response to the diet is also a good indication of how well...

    Has any one tried either mix and if so did you like it? I want to take a cake for Thanksgiving, to eat the day before while we are doing our prep work. I think my MIL will bring her usual sour cream poundcake so I don't want to compete with that...esp. if mine is better than hers . If I get the reg. poundcake mix I'd make the orange version (recipe on vendor...

    Next time I'm going to make a Pesto chicken or bbq chicken pizza. I prefer almost any type to the standard pep and chs version. I have never made homemade pesto and used some from a jar in the past. I think I'll try my hand at making it homemade as it seems pretty easy. The bbq pizza is super easy though and probably my favorite. The chicken gets cooked until...

    Wow Patti you're fast - thanks! I'm making pecan pies, the only kind I ever make or probably ever will (not really a pie person except during the holidays). The pies cook over an hour for two so I'm sure the crust will bake in that time. Also, I cover them close to the end so the crust won't burn (with Pet Ritz crust) so I'll watch to see if that's needed...

    bump - wanted to share a couple of things and also need help with a couple of things. I made a really good gluten-free green bean casserole the other night. Previously I made one with Health Valley cream of mush. soup that I didn't like. This time I used Progresso creamy mush soup. I had to make a rue with gluten-free flour and butter to thicken the soup...

    Kahlua Candied Yams Canned yams (I use canned yams in syrup) Butter Brown sugar Kahlua *I don't list quantities as it depends on how many servings you want but a simlilar recipe is on the Kahlua website and I think I modified it just slightly as theirs may call for cooding the yams in the skillet as well, which I don't like to do. Melt the butter...

    I ditto BFreeman's post. Dr. Green's book helped when I was first dx'd but's it's not an entertaining book to read. Danna's book was not only helpful on learning the gluten free 'lifestyle', not just the diet, but it was also hilarious at times. I was reading it at the pool with my mini radio in my ears (not an IPOD, not hip enough for that) and I kept busting...

    Jillian - I am so sorry to hear about your friend but I have a feeling with a friend like you - she'll be just fine. I truly believe that the power of the human spirit is stronger than science will ever understand or be able to explain. The way you describe your friend I think she's already way ahead of the game. We're all pulling for you both to get through...

    Wow - this is neat! I was recently asking for help with finding places in Orlando (not at Disney) so the leader of their support group told me the places he knew of and Brio was listed (same group as Bravo) so I contacted the Brio corp. office and some Chef e-mailed me today from there. She wants to talk on the phone to go over their menu so I'm speaking...
