    Remember non-allergic basically doesn't mean anything. From the description it sounds like it likely is gluten-free, but it is still worth writing the company to ask.

    You can do a test spot on your skin.. I will usually do a spot on one cheek and on my upper arm to see what happens and wait a day. I second the vitamin E oil thing, works nicely for scarring, too, but it doesn't thin out as well as coconut oil. Coconut oil works great for my eczema, and much much cheaper than the expensive creams.

    Yesterday I made chicken stir fry, today was chicken nachos. Trying to clear out my fridge of random things right now.

    Haha yes!

    I and a few people I know eat them, and use them to make rice crispie treats. Never heard anything otherwise.

    I'm glad my suffering experiences with these kinds of things has finally helped someone! LOL.

    I would stay at a GF Bed and Breakfast if it was in a location I was already going to. If I had a few places in mind it would help me decide to go there out of the choices. However, I think serving GF food won't be enough of a selling point, it has to be well run otherwise as well. Definitely an all inclusive meal plan would be a great option.

    I have tried the cauliflower crust before and I really liked it. Definitely squeeze the moisture out after grating it. But pretty good tasting. It sticks to stuff so that is probably what the parchment is for.

    Yeah, what gemini said. Dish soap is made to rinse off, so if you feel like looking it won't hurt, but I think it isn't going to be worth too much effort. I always buy the basic kind anyways, I avoid the ones with hand moisturizers in it and such because I don't want moisturizers left on my dishes, haha. I use seventh generation fresh citrus and ginger...

    Good to hear, Sara. It will take a little time for your skin to go back to normal depending on how severe the irritation was. Try not to try anything too new or crazy on it until you feel like it has healed up, don't want a reaction on top of a reaction, leads to a bad day, haha.

    Does the spice agent process their gluten-free spices in the same area and on the same equipment as the gluten containing blends? That is really important to know.

    Do they really taste like cake? !!!!

    In general, you usually can get in to a specialist without a formal referral from your primary care doctor. Just call up and say you need to make an appointment. Sometimes an insurance plan will require a referral to be in place before a specialist appointment, but usually you just call the PCP's office and tell them the appointment day and they just do...

    Hi Christina, and welcome to the forum! If you are going to seek out testing related to gluten problems, most of the tests need you to be still consuming gluten in order to accurately work. So you may want to speak to your doctor before you start to go gluten free. But it doesn't hurt to start paying attention to labels now. If you aren't going to...

    Livin, unfortunately yes you have to check the label on the most mundane things- Every label, every time. A lot of the prominent name brands of baking powder say gluten free on them so I always just go with one of those. However I do need to note, if you are in the U.S., modified food starch must say wheat on it if it is made from wheat (and that is...

    Great info, di, thanks A lot of spice companies do have their regular brand, a premium line, and then a lower line. Makes sense to me.

    That is funny. When I find something totally surprising and pleasantly unexpected I squeal with loud joy at the grocery shelf. I also loudly go "AAAAAAGHHHH!" when I find something that I can't eat, like today was the squeezy pudding things that have flour in them. WHO DOES THAT?!?!?!

    I think a 14 year old would definitely be able to understand the advanced care of that kind of pet, and the whole "wash your hands after touching it" concept. The only thing I can think of is, according to a quick google search, they live what seems to be 7-12 years in captivity so you may be stuck with it if she leaves home for college. But at least it...

    This article is about fecal transplants curing C. Diff infection which is a completely different thing than celiac disease. It does mention that some doctors claim that this cures many other things with celiac thrown in the list but it says these are highly anecdotal and there is no real evidence. "Its use in C. difficile has been well established...

    As someone who seems to be sensitive to everything that is a personal care product... I have way too much experience with this. First thing to know is product formulations change all the time. Every time I buy something even if it is the same face wash I have used for years, I look at the ingredients and sniff it to see if the smell has changed or is stronger...

    I like to do the thing where you get zuchinni and slice it long ways, so you have lasagna noodle shaped slices instead of noodles. For the meat like layer I get veggies chopped up really small, and sauteed in a pan until they are soft. Mushrooms, carrots, cauliflower, squash, and zuchinni work well. Add a little sauce to them and make those the meaty layer...

    Good to hear you may be able to get into the good PT place

    Scott you are making me hungry!!!!!!! Today I am weak from IVIG treatment so I am just going to eat frozen dinners today.

    A lot of doctors have problems with patients seeking medical care elsewhere and not telling them, and for continuity of care reasons I can understand why doctor number 2 discontinued the patient relationship. It doesn't have to have anything to do with drug seeking behavior (of course if that is present it complicates things) but if they can't keep track...
