ARCHIVED Stool Results Vs. Seeing Gastrointestinologist
LauraTX replied to mebrown5's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Yep, those are high blood levels. No doubt there. -
LOL! I shall, and ill bring gluten-free food for us to eat while we wait! Target around here has those as well, just got in, they don't seem to stock it well. The target cartwheel app Open Original Shared Link sometimes has Udis stuff on there for 5-20% off. Right now they have canyon bakehouse 20% off and Udis 5% off for the frozen dinners, Feb 14...

ARCHIVED Is Imodium Multi-Symptom Gluten Free? Help!
LauraTX replied to livelifelarge24's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
It is vary rare that a drug company will say something is actually gluten-free. Usually you will get the "does not contain gluten ingredients but they don't test and can't guarantee" line. Generally things like that are considered safe. -
ARCHIVED Coconut Oil
LauraTX replied to I-want-nachos's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
There should be no problem with it. Do note that coconut oil is not a compatible lubricant with latex condoms. -
ARCHIVED What Thyroid Meds Do You Take?
LauraTX replied to HappyMom623's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Yes, you can request name brand or a certain manufacturer. (I take mylan like many others) Also, if the name brand is gluten-free and others are not verifiably gluten-free, you can have your doctor write "brand medically neccesary" on the prescription, and with a little extra paperwork called a prior authorization, possibly get it covered through your insurance... -
ARCHIVED I Made My Own Milk Today!
LauraTX replied to Zebra007's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
You crack me up! I was going to pop in and see who asked if the OP milked a cow! LOL Great job, Zebra. It is nice to make something and control what goes in it, especially when it really isn't all that hard! -

ARCHIVED Bob's Red Mill Cornmeal - Shared Lines (Not gluten-free Packaging)
LauraTX replied to Nikki2777's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Sadly, they do make a gluten-free version and this is not it. Lately my grocery store stopped carrying the gluten-free one, too, so I was high and dry as well. This one, as far as I know, is made in the wheat part of the facility, so CC may be a concern there. I would not risk it. Just put the pie filling over rice and make the tamale part another day -
The What's For Dinner Tonight Chat
LauraTX replied to jess-gf's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I ran out of dish soap with a sink full of dishes, so I went by walmart late this evening, not a place I usually go, so I decided to see if they have the new Pillsbury Funfetti gluten-free cake mix. They had that and the cookie mix. http://www.pillsburybaking.com/products/gluten-free/funfetti-cake-mix I was pretty ecstatic to find this, as the original... -
The bread does taste better after you forget what the other bread tasted like... LOL. I have tried aldi's and really liked it, have heard good things about three bakers but haven't tried it. A similar bread to the Aldi one is Canyon Bakehouse Multigrain. I tried it after hearing people rave about it on here, and it is true it is soft and does not need...

The What's For Dinner Tonight Chat
LauraTX replied to jess-gf's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
They definitely need to do the dishes considering the gourmet masterpieces you are feeding them... ROFL!!! Yesterday was a very fatigued lupus day, but I made it through the grocery store with my husband, and we made nachos when we got home with some meat I had frozen that was already cooked. Then for dinner I was so tired I could barely stand, so my... -
ARCHIVED Valentine's Day...dinner And Dessert Ideas
LauraTX replied to icelandgirl's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I've seen it in stores, so it does exist. Or you could do some kind of dark chocolate dairy free mousse... and stuff them with that. (Leave it to me to add chocolate, lol) -

Look no further, don't skip the glaze: Open Original Shared Link ^I approve of this recipe, LOL -
ARCHIVED Granola Bars
LauraTX replied to BlessedMommy's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Oh, also, I forgot to mention... I have TMJ that can flare up pretty easily, so I have to have the more chewy ones. I can't eat the hard crunchy granola bars. So if anyone else is looking for that, my list may help. -
ARCHIVED Granola Bars
LauraTX replied to BlessedMommy's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I like Van's chocolate chip granola bars. Always keep one in my purse- they don't have as much junk in them as other brands and they dont get smashed, lol. They sell them all over the place now, at Walmart, too. Open Original Shared Link I also really like the Annies gluten-free chocolate chip granola bars, but around here I have only seen them at... -
ARCHIVED Valentine's Day...dinner And Dessert Ideas
LauraTX replied to icelandgirl's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Last year I made cornish game hens on valentines day, since my husband had to work late. They are just a tiny chicken... but fancy and cute. Lemon Pepper Roasted Cornish Hens: Roasted just like a chicken. Get the number of birds you want to cook, pat dry, and sprinkle each with the juice of a lemon. Rub the inside, outside, and under the breast skin... -
ARCHIVED Confused By Results?
LauraTX replied to lalalove's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Did your doctor do an endoscopy with multiple biopsies to see if there is intestinal damage? That will be a great tool in this case. Also, if you have copies of the blood results, you can post them here and we can help you make sense of them. Here is a list of testing that can be done for a Celiac diagnosis: -tTG IgA and tTG IgG -DGP IgA and DGP... -

Wow, I never thought about the seedy bars not washing their glasses well- yuck! Open Original Shared Link I also am not a drinker, I usually get soda. In those glasses. But not anymore, LOL. Don't let your friends get you TOO drunk, appoint a person as a babysitter for if you get wasted who can make you behave and not eat gluten Happy Birthday... -
ARCHIVED America's Test Kitchen Holiday Cookies
LauraTX replied to I-want-nachos's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Ah, sorry about that. I know they had their gluten-free ones up there over the holiday season, but they do take things down after a while. Was in a hurry when I posted that. I checked my recipe folder and I used the recipe from the box of the KAF gluten-free baking mix. It is listed here on the box image, for some reason is not up on the website: Open... -
ARCHIVED America's Test Kitchen Holiday Cookies
LauraTX replied to I-want-nachos's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
What flour are you using? I don't think it would be appropriate to post a recipe from the book here, since it is copywrited. It looks like you can access the recipe online but you have to sign up for a free membership. I have one to there and they don't give me any trouble, I actually like their cooking newsletters. Open Original Shared Link (dont... -
ARCHIVED How Can It Be Gluten Free Cookbook
LauraTX replied to Zebra007's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Crisco butter shortening works well in baked goods, I have used it when making stuff for a dairy free friend. They should have lactase available there, it just may be harder to find since lactose intolerance can be uncommon in some areas. Where are you located, again? Was trying to look back but couldn't find that. You may want to add a signature... -
ARCHIVED Fibromyalgia Or Celiac?
LauraTX replied to KathyMarander's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
You definitely should be screened for Celiac disease. Make an appointment with a GI doctor to get a proper screening done. Don't stop eating gluten until you get your testing done, since you need to be consuming it for them to be accurate. -

ARCHIVED How Can It Be Gluten Free Cookbook
LauraTX replied to Zebra007's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
All the recipes in the book have amounts to use BRM flour or King Arthur Flour blend flour, with tested results. So, you don't have to use their blend. I use the king arthur flour blend for everything. There are a couple of recipes that call for milk and they explain why it is there and if you can leave it out or what to substitute with. Usually it is...
