    It is in all kinds of pastel/clear bag, different colors for each type of pasta. But yes, that distinctive look is hard to miss. Their lasagna noodles (best out there imo) are in a blue/lighter blue box of the same kind of design. The plus side of them being whole grain and a little better for you is nice, too.

    Sometimes people are just going to be miffed at any request put on them. Their temporary burden of having to show up and eat for free and not have to prepare anything.... that is nothing compared to what you face every day. I only allow a select few people to have gluten at my house. Basically my husband, my mother, and my sister. All three understand...

    If you choose to use an app or one of the books like the Cecelias Marketplace gluten-free shopping guide (Open Original Shared Link looks like a sale right now), remember that they should be used as starting places only. They can be helpful when you don't know where to start. However, products and ingredients change at the drop of a hat, so you always...

    If you have something like that or something else you see that needs attention, you can click the big red "Report" button on the bottom right of the post to tell the moderators, who can take care of it. I took care of that other post for you. While there are some others on here that have to do soy free, and I hear it is a big pain, many of the members...

    I LOVE LOVE LOVE Pluots/plumcots. I have always loved plums, but since the plumcots have been widely available, for a pretty long season in my area, I am eating them all the time. Perfect combination of both fruits. Last night I made tacos with beans... tonight I am probably just going to whip up some grilled chicken and whatever veggies I have on hand...

    If you like different kinds of teas, check out Teavana. They are now owned by starbucks, woohoo, but at their Teavana stores they have really good service and they have all kinds of teas. Can be pricey but with moderation it isn't too bad. ( All are gluten-free: Open Original Shared Link)

    I like to sub in sweet potatoes for regular potatoes in things, and I find that the key to having them stay intact is to get the outsides crisped up before the inside is cooked... then you still have something for the cooked moosh to kind of hold on to. So I will roast them in the oven and make sure to get that crisp on the outside real good... I am not...

    That is how I am. I will take a safe bet over anything else. Much rather eat my gluten-free cereal/oatmeal instead of pick details first thing in the morning. Of course, some times a treat is worth the effort, but even at restaurants, I will order things that need no modification, etc, just so everything is easier.

    Perhaps the extra financial backing will get us some more delicious gluten-free stuff, especially kid friendly things.

    I have been noticing how you have had some personal growth in the gluten hating area... especially how you have been handling out of the house scenarios. Thanks for helping newbies!

    Was this in Rapid City, South Dakota?

    HAHA! I do that, too. I will get stuff from my favorite gluten-free bakery and tell my husband that while I love him, he can go have a real donut for 59 cents so don't eat my $4 one!

    Okay guys, let's please reign this in here. Back to the original question. Happyplace, Unless it has been totally shot down, I would open conversation with the school administration back up. You may be able to ask for your child to be sat away from the peanut allergic child(ren) and while you won't blatantly send nut items there, not worry about shared...

    Welcome to the forum! It is likely that all of the symptoms you are asking about could be from the untreated Celiac disease. Be very strict with your gluten-free diet now, and it will take some time, probably at least 2-3 months, before you see improvement. Full improvement can take a very long time, and it seems to be longer for people who went undiagnosed...

    I would ask what they put in it. But, of course, CC is a concern. You could get down there just as breakfast opens up and there has been less time for things to get touched by many people. Also, if you stay in the hotel for a long stay, you may be able to befriend the staff and ask them to make up a plate with your safe sausage/eggs and keep it in the...

    Welcome to the forum, Boncarlos2! If you have the actual copy of the lab report, can you post exactly what it says? I don't want to throw out a guess right now because some of the decimal points are not making sense. I want to get you accurate info.

    Recipe link? Making up a grocery list for next week... LOL

    ARCHIVED Need Doctor In Oklahoma

    LauraTX replied to natureman's topic in Doctors

    Hi Natureman, Is what you are saying is that you were diagnosed with Celiac 9 months ago and have been gluten-free ever since? Then you have all those unresolved issues that may go beyond celiac? One thing you may want to do is start a food/symptom journal that you can show your new doctor. Also, it looks like there is an active Celiac support...

    Welcome to the forum! Great to see you are getting immediate improvements. I have a feeling you will see more things go away over time that you didn't realize were there to go away in the first place. Just takes a good bit of time.

    Americas Test Kitchen: How Can It Be Gluten Free cookbook. Best purchase I have ever made. They go into the why behind things and research everything they do very well. Lots of people on here have been recommending it to new gluten-free cooks as well. Another tip I like to share is when I first got diagnosed, I went to my local library and checked...

    I don't mean this to be funny, but are you used to eating high fiber mexican food/beans? Sometimes eating those alone will give anyone a hard time.

    It will never stop being argued. LOL Enjoy your McDonalds fries and your trip to Hawaii!!

    It definitely is hard. But there are tricky ways around everything. I think rule number 1 is to be super duper nice and appreciative towards the people. That helps you win friends and makes them want to do stuff to help you out. Making friends with people at the place is a win/win situation for all. (like when I walk into my chipotle and the people go...

    If you feel better on a gluten-free/DF diet, then it is a good idea to stay on it for the 2 month trial period until you see your doctor again. Did you get the results of your bloodwork?
