    Yep, it is Celiac. Have you had genetic testing done on the whole family? That will be valuable to tell who will need to be screened in the future. If you want an endoscopy to see how bad the damage is, it may help with an assessment of that, but the diagnosis is solid without it. You can always ask for a referral to a GI doctor to discuss the risks versus...

    I love my countertop grill. I grill chicken on it all the time. Just get chicken breasts, try not to get ones that are too thick that will take a long time to cook. If they are really big, you can make them into cutlets by cutting in half. The main difference with a countertop grill and regular grill is that the food needs to be touching the plates to...

    Sees candy makes a Milk Chocolate Butter and Dark Chocolate Butter that I think match the outer/inner texture pretty well. They aren't spheres, just regular fancy chocolate candy shape. But they have that smooth center.... yum. I am craving chocolate now. But, I eat a lot of chocolate, probably way too much, and luckily I have a See's store semi-near...

    The person whose post you read online was incorrect in their understanding. It is the rarer of the two genes, as you said. Check out the info Karen linked above. That is why we really like to link to reputable sources on here, because when you read something online you have to be weary about there that information came from. On here we will correct...

    Ghirardelli is a good choice (they have shared equipment but great practices to clean lines in between), and my favorite is See's Candy, of which everything is now gluten-free. They are a bit pricey, though.

    Yep, Lindt used to be something I would treat myself with, one of the first things I learned was a no-go when I got diagnosed. Barley malt is something to watch for in chocolates, sadly. Hopefully your reaction isn't as bad this time, I don't think there is going to be a large amount of gluten from the barley malt (versus accidentally eating gluten pasta...

    Merry Christmas to all! Yesterday I went to make Christmas cutout cookies, and after the dough was falling apart when rolled, I went back and realized I didn't put in all the gluten-free flour. So I made the best of it, and cooked the few that came out and some balled up dough. Got a gingerbread man whose leg fell off and made up some red glaze for his...

    Last night I made a big pot of beef stew, it is perfect for this cold weather. Tonight I will be making nachos! Also going to try some Christmas cookies.

    I have always had to take vitamins with a large meal. Otherwise, they do not sit well.

    ARCHIVED Flu Shot

    LauraTX replied to JewelEBeth's topic in Super Sensitive People

    You are fine to get the flu shot. If you have an issue with vaccines, it is something other than your Celiac disease. According to University of Chicago Celiac Disease Center: "Yes, it’s fine to get a flu shot. The immune system of those with celiac disease has not been compromised. You should receive the same immunizations as healthy individuals." ...

    You can just leave it out, wont make a big difference.

    Unfortunately the bad things happened in a group for you this time. Just be very vigilant and take care of yourself, and definitely avoid eating out/potential gluten exposure until long after you feel totally better, so you don't get hit again. If you have the inability to keep food down, your doctor may be able to prescribe you nausea meds to keep you...

    This. If you use a flour blend often you will kind of notice it, but you can also weigh the ingredients, a lot of gluten-free flours are more dense, but to varying degrees. It may help you out if you don't always use the same brand.

    Here is my generic stir fry recipe for chicken. All the ingredients other than a cup of liquid and a Tbsp of corn starch are very flexible, I don't really measure it just throw it in. Garlic and Ginger powder work fine if you don't have fresh on hand. Oyster sauce, sriracha, and vinegar are things you can leave out or increase to change the tone of the...

    I saw that. I think it is great. Not all restaurants have competent staff who get it right when you ask.
  18. LauraTX
    Yeah about 3 something at stores around here. Glad you got a deal!

    I used the various gluten-free sauces for a while, but now I just make my own. All the bottled sauces are either too sweet or too spicy for me, I like something in the middle.

    As a kid we always had punch made with 7up and sherbet at our Christmas parties. Can just put it in a big bowl.

    I use Mccormick turmeric, my primary gluten-free spice brand. I would recommend using a food diary to see what else could be bothering you... sometimes it is just from not being healed yet. Also, if you are using turmeric to make things like spicy curries, those certainly can cause GI distress
  24. LauraTX
    That is funny.

    The KAF cake enhancer is something they use in all their cake recipes but they say is optional. It makes stuff stay softer and moist longer. Ive heard some great things about it but never tried it myself.
