    I saw that recipe elsewhere so I printed for future reference but I actually made gluten free funnel cakes last weekend and they turned out awesome. On the site www.recipezaar.com you can just type in gluten free funnel cakes and it will come up. Someone on our Celiac meetup.com board posted it for us. The only thing I'd do different is add some oil to the...

    That's great but may I ask why you have another biopsy? My doctor said she'd only do that if my blood work didn't come back okay.

    I don't think I've ever reheated except in the microwave. Now it's always had sauce or something in it so maybe that makes a difference? Nisla - I know my own Ceilac Mother was in Italy and didn't even look for gluten-free pasta to bring back (I told her the brands) or order any gluten-free beer from the pharmacia. Eight of my parents friends were with...

    Bell & Evan gluten-free chicken tenders are scrumtious. My new Whole Foods carries them. Many I know prefer them over the Wellshire Farms brand but I haven't had those (and don't plan to). WF had them on sale 2-for-1 when they opened so I got two boxes for $2.50 ea. ($6.99). Hubby hates chicken fingers so they are just for me which means the cost is well...

    All I can say is 'I told you so' - lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Both pasta brands are the best on the market in my opinon and best of all they are also good as a cold pasta. I long for the day when I dont' have to pay shipping for it so PLEASE tell me if your store starts carrying it and I'll come over and get a six month supply. Also, schar makes ladyfingers so I...

    Thanks tarnalberry for telling us about Ciroq vodka. I only saw it recently when getting my fave vodka 'Iceberg' (corn) but now I'm curious to try Ciroq as a special treat!

    In the beginning I could not live without the Clan Thompson guide. I bought the updated version and I don't regret it but now that I myself know how to read labels and know what products are safe (unless ingredients change) I will only buy the basic version of the program which is not updated throughout the year. I really don't know how so many others live...

    Thanks for posting and I'm going to get a copy tomorrow so I can share with friends.

    oops! Sorry about the typo and thanks for the correction. I really am impressed with this guy since he talks so much about gluten sensitivity and he mentions Dr. Fine and Enterolab as well. I think I'll finally break down and order his book used on amazon .com. DH has decided to try and be totally gluten-free as well so the book may help him feel good about...

    Congrats on your accomplishment! I know it must feel really great to look back at where you began and where you are now. I'm looking forward to celebrating my ann. in Jan.

    www.helthybynatureshow.com/archive/2006.shtml is the link. I had to paste it into my address bar to get it to work. It's a pretty interesting interview with Ron Hogan who co-authored the book 'Dangerous Grains' which I've yet to read. However, he basically thinks gluten is bad for everyone and has published papers to that end. He has a Ph. D but I don't know...

    123glutenfree.com gfnfoods.com (gluten free natural foods) Those are my fave lines of gluten-free mixes. Can't do without them and my gluten eating husband loves them as well. Good luck to you!

    We ended up getting a 2005 Camry a few weeks ago. It's wonderful...lots of bells and whisles which I love but DH does not. He's rather odd that way. He doesn't even use his remote to unlock the car so the other day he went out to the car from Publix and he could not get in the car with his key. Why? Because it was not his car of course! That'll teach him...

    Ditto to everyone else's comments. My Celiac Mother had a biopsy 14 weeks after being gluten free. No surprise her test came back neg. for Celiac. Her blood test before going off gluten were positive but her best indidcation was her response to the diet. Luckily she's smart enough to figure out she should believe her own body and not her uninformed doctor...

    I'm with Nisla, the only thing I can't find is the fried onions for a green bean casserole. I made some homemade ones this weekend but I'm not sure how they'd be in the dish. I ate all I made without sharing with DH as they were that good. Just soak onion strips in milk for five minutes and then dip in gluten-free flour with salt/pepper in it, and fry. I...

    I've never watched his show but someone posted the video link on listserv. Open Original Shared Link

    Thanks for posting. I never watch Martha but did listen to her XM radio show when she had Kim Kholler on taking about eating gluten free around the globe. I'll be sure and tape it tomorrow. Wow! That would be aweseome if they mention at least gluten on that show. That could really do a lot in terms of people getting used to the term. That crazy Steve Colbert...

    Carla is right and if it's the same place, you can order gluten free pasta ahead of time. I have it with their gluten-free alfredo sauce and a nice salad. There's enough to take left overs home. Some locations always has corn pasta but both ours require calling ahead so they have it for sure when you arrive. The Chef comes to the table to tell you what he...

    First of all you need to request a copy of all your lab work, no matter what you're being tested for. A B12 def. I had went unoticed by the doctor and due to that I have spent the last 7 months working to get my shoulder/arm back into working order after falling down my own stairs TWICE in one month. Next please consider my own test results. My first Celiac...

    I'd just like to add for those of us who are 'mix' bakers, the Gluten Free Naturals line out of NJ makes the best gluten-free cookie mix I've had. I use it for choc. chip since DH is allergic to the dark choc. in the awesome Pamela's mix. The GFN mix tastes like roll and bake cookies if you like those. The mix does not have choc. in it so you can use the...

    Thanks eleep.....I totally forgot about Carraba's which will be perfect for our group. They are big on 'ethnic' fare which is why we always go to Hops. But they can do Italian so that'll work! Thanks again.

    I've only eaten in Key West (recommend Mango's there) not Largo but much of what you'll find there is fresh seafood. You should be fine ordering fresh fish or shrimp as long as you tell them how to cook it. They usually offer rice or fries or potato for a side so through fries probably aren't safe. If you can make it to Deerfield Beach you can get some gluten...

    We'll be stopping over in G'ville one night on the way to Orlando for a trade show. We have to see DH's family and we always meet one group at Hops. I'd be open to trying another place if anyone has any ideas. I can get a bunless burger and baked potato at Hops and tell them how to prepare it but I'd rather have something tastier if there is a really good...

    The best gluten free meals I've had dining out were in Paris. Many told me the city wasn't Celiac knowledgeable but until I went I didn't know that was only when compared to other European countries.....it's way ahead of the US in my opinion. London was really easy too and my celiac mom had no problems in Rome. I think Dr. Green mentioned also in Austrailia...

    I don't drink anything but corn or potato vodka but someone I know has been drinking a rock-gut vodka that says 'grain alcohol' on the bottle and it's from Albertson's who says they don't know what it's made of. Anyway, we were in the liquor store on Sat. and the guy there was showing me all the new vodkas made with grapes and even soy...very pricey to say...
