    Today I am making pizza for dinner. I think my husband didn't get a real lunch break so he will probably woof it down!

    As Addy said, any all purpose flour mix (even baking mixes like pamelas) make great thickeners when used in a roux. I generally make a roux with half corn starch and half brown rice flour, but if I am out of one, I use whatever flour is on hand. Brown rice flour takes a little longer to thicken than white rice flour. But either will make a great cheese...

    I would totally swallow a tiny robot and its purpose being blasting gluten with its gluten away laser beam. One day!

    Ooh, or those people who miss the running hurdle and fall onto it?

    Thank you for posting the corporate responses... those are going to be very helpful for people in the future.

    Acidic tomato and greasy bacon is a perfect combination for heartburn and GERD flareups. Since you put this in the super sensitive to gluten section, are you thinking this is from gluten? Anyways, with my acid reflux, fatty foods bother it, and so do acidic foods. Eating them together is a perfect recipe for terrible indigestion. I try to cushion...

    ARCHIVED Work Potluck

    LauraTX replied to Dianaw's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    If it is really affecting you and your coworkers are doing things like sneaking the food back there, speak with the head of the office and let them know that this is serious, and to please institute a no food rule at the area your work space is in.

    I think it isn't good to decline social invitations because of a food issue. Unless they are throwing flour around the house, there is no reason you can't go and enjoy the company. Either buy some frozen dinners or pack yourself something, and when you are accepting an invitation, let the hose know you have special food needs and ask if it is okay to use...

    Yep, the writer made a huge blunder there.

    Gemini, you could not have said that better.

    For cold packed sandwiches I like to make wraps with corn tortillas. Easier than trying to get your gluten-free bread in an edible state when it is cold. Hard boiled eggs keep very well in a lunch pail, too.

    Generally, anything that is being aggravated by untreated Celiac disease is going to heal up after the gut does, which is a slow improvement after going gluten-free. It will likely take a good bit of time, and there is a possibility of it not being related to the Celiac. Just keep the lines of communication open with your GI doctor and hope for the best...

    Allergies and the meds that treat them will cause me to get puffy eyes and dark circles. There isn't much I can do for them other than take benadryl, which will make me need to nap. Have you tried an antihistamine to see if it helps?

    I Heart Muffins Bakery in Hurst, Texas. Open Original Shared Link They can do pizzas and hand pies, and really anything if you call ahead! Everything I have had there is the bomb and they do other allergens, too.

    I would exercise extreme caution taking epsom salt off label as it is a laxative.

    Hi Salaw, and welcome to the forum! Do you have Celiac disease? As for your lower left abdominal pain, since you have ruled out female issues, the likely cause is gas or constipation. There are two bends in the colon in that area (see this pic:http://img.webmd.com/dtmcms/live/webmd/consumer_assets/site_images/articles/image_article_collections/anatomy...

    Welcome to the forum, Bluelove! I made your post into a new topic, you will get more help here since the one you replied to was very old and the people aren't on anymore. The original thread replied to is this one: https://www.celiac.com/forums/topic/70118-how-strictly-do-you-avoid-your-igg-reaction-foods/ Can you give us more information about how...

    That is good to hear, Katie. Your levels were so low it was worrisome to me.

    If your appointment is at the end of August, and you can schedule a biopsy very soon after it, don't discontinue eating gluten so you can be tested properly. Think of it as your possible last hoorah with those donuts. As georgiaguy said, If you are pretty sure you feel better off gluten and will be going gluten-free either way, his suggestion of popping...

    I really want to try the california pizza kitchen now that they do gluten-free right. Do they use the same prebought crust as a lot of other places? The closest one is an hour away by m rheumatologists office, and I go monday, so I will probably go in and eat if I have time.
  22. LauraTX
    Yes, usually when I make it, I will use 1C of dry quinoa which makes 3-4 big servings, and it stays in the fridge well. Quinoa doesn't overcook and change texture easily so the texture keeps, too.
  23. LauraTX
    I sometimes make what I call quinoa oatmeal. I cook it up in a pot with half milk, half water, and whatever fruit like granny smith applies, a dash of cinnamon, etc. It keeps through the week nicely. Here are two recipes of that kind of preparation, one is DF: Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link

    Yep, the fact that your total IgA is so low, means the tissue transglutaminase IgA is not reliable. The IgG one is positive. It would be a good idea to look into getting an endoscopy done so you can get a biopsy and follow through with a proper diagnosis. I would also follow up with your primary care doctor about the IgA deficiency to make sure it is just...

    Soooo..... can you send me directions? Coming over for dinner! :D:D:D:D:D:D
