    Yes, addy, you deserve cupcakes! I need to stop off at my gluten-free bakery this week now, haha. Today I had thawed out some chicken breasts but they were not thawed enough, so I will make grilled chicken with sweet potatoes and green beans tomorrow. Made gluten-free pizza today with the pillsbury crust.

    I also agree. DO's are taught to treat the person as a whole, and although some MD's do that as well, it is harder to find. I will pick a DO over an MD when I am doctor searching. Edit: I feel I really should add more to this. I was always the "sickly" one in the family and I have seen many, many doctors over the years. Some ok, some good, some bad...

    Monday I grilled up some little sirloin steaks on my george foreman and made peas and also potatoes au gratin to go with it. For my first try at the potatoes I did pretty good. Yesterday I basically cooked all day- I made a huge batch of beans to freeze some, and I made up five freezer meals that you put all the ingredients in a bag, freeze it, and then...

    Welcome to the forum, KBMC! If you post this post as a new forum topic you will probably get more replies because the blogs aren't as visible to everyone. A lot of celiacs cannot handle dairy and sometimes other foods, because celiac disease damages the intestinal lining, causing overall havoc. So you haven't been tested at all for celiac disease...

    White corn tortillas also are pretty good for quesadillas, they just usually come smaller, but they taste less "corn-y" to me so I like them better for soft tacos and such. They are also pennies on the dollar to store bought gluten-free tortillas like rudis. I have never put butter on the outsides of them, I need to try that! But overall I think doing...

    Yeah, making plain cheese nachos is pretty easy. Just throw down some gluten-free corn chips (easy to find) and put some cheese on top and nuke them for 30 sec at a time til melted. That would definitely satisfy the salt and cheese craving, although I like my nachos with meat, beans, guac, and salsa, too!

    I second the Van's cheese crackers. My favorite when I eat crackers. Other ones you may like are the gluten-free Breton crackers- they are really good, large and round good for putting things like cheese on them, dunno about a whole pound, though Goldfish puffs are gluten-free, they have that good intense artificially cheesy flavor, like a cross between...

    Thanks for the heads up!

    Today I made chicken enchiladas for the first time. Turned out pretty well for a newbie, I am freezing some to eat for after my surgery so my hubby just has to throw them in the oven.

    Ugh I have to stop reading this thread, I really want chocolate now! The nutrition info i read on the website looks like the are okay, I am looking forward to their response to my email, I have a good feeling!

    Smoking is terrible for you and those around you, I feel terrible for those who are addicted and can't quit.

    Had genghis grill today for lunch, will make a light dinner later tonight, probably banana pancakes. Just make up a pancake mix of your choice and add a well-mashed (ovverripe is best) banana. If it is too thick add a little milk to get back to the consistency needed. Nomnomnom!

    Because I love nuts+chocolate+caramel combinations I wrote them tonight asking for updated allergy info. Will post when I get a reply.

    Adalaide I think thats a perfectly fine suggestion, actually. Nothing better than making your own natural pain reliever chemicals. In regards to the corn/gluten free, if you have a pharmacy in town that is an independent or compounding pharmacy, call and talk to the pharmacist and see if they have anything for you. But I recall corn starch in a lot of...

    I would have love to see that! Tonight I am making cheeseburgers with baked beans. Keeping it simple tonight. Going to to some experiments this weekend and next week! Having my gallbladder removed on the 3rd, so I am making a lot of double recipes of stuff to freeze, and a couple freezer to crockpot meals that my hubby can do and I can do when not...

    Today I made a chicken stir fry with carrots, snow peas, and brown rice in a spicy sriracha sauce.

    Welcome, Frozen! I am glad to hear your hubby is supportive, mine does the same, he has even learned how to read labels and stuff and advocates for me when we go places, he has my back! This really is a great supportive place to be, feel free to search the forums for past discussions and ask any questions you need!

    That is quite disappointing. My area isn't a part of the test areas, but I was hoping for it next year. I always like to support Girl Scouts, when I was a kid I would sell a lot of boxes so I could get free summer camp. Ah well, my hiney size doesn't need cookies anyways!

    I never even thought to look at rotisserie chickens, I always assumed they were unsafe. I will have to grab one next time I am at sams I like to cook a whole chicken and eat the legs/wings for dinner that night, and chop up and save the rest of the meat for casseroles. Already cooked would make it MUCH easier!

    So my grocery store I go to has a policy that if you find an expired item on the shelf, you get a non-expired one free. Went last week and half the Pillsbury gluten-free pizza doughs were dated Nov 2013. I got my free one and I always tell them, "There were more expired ones so you should probably send someone to go check all of them." Today, run in there...

    My Gluten eating hubby eats the gluten-free meals I prepare, but I don't disallow him to have gluten in the house, he just rarely does. I always tell him "crumbs are the enemy!" So he has offered to eat in the garage before... haha. If he really wants fresh baked gluten bread (and you are cool with non-gluten-free bread in your kitchen)...

    Although a lot of people get joint pain with celiac, hip swelling seems a little extreme to be just caused by untreated celiac disease. I looked back at your previous posts, have you ever been screened for an autoimmune disease? In general, if you go gluten free and it makes you feel better go ahead and do so, but there seems to be something else going...

    That is a pretty interesting read, thanks for posting. I am allergic to sulfa drugs, and brie cheese and white wine will cause my throat to swell. And I love brie, I eat like the whole thing. Which was the problem, can only handle it in small amounts. I have only drunk a lot of white wine on one occasion, I am not a big drinker. So haven't tested that...

    When I first went gluten-free with my celiac diagnosis over a year ago now, I went through that phase of trying everything, finding out what brands I prefer, etc. So I ordered a few things from the giant A, got some gluten-free subscription boxes, and went all over to the stores in my area (I live on the outskirts of a big metro area). After a few months...

    Sometimes if you are on thyroid meds long enough, you can feel weird and ask for a blood draw and probably be right about it, but there is a reason all those thyroid meds are not over the counter... you need a doctor and associated lab tests to use the medication properly. I was thinking what you wrote here, but I didn't feel like being the first person...
