    People will do anything for free stuff, it did not surprise me at all that I had to give them my Dr.'s info so they could confirm my diagnosis before they sent mine. But that way they only help people who actually need it, and you also get another pair of eyeballs on your test results maybe. I saw a post about the care packages on a freebie/coupon type website...

    I ended up making this recipe: Open Original Shared Link With dairy free versions of the butter and milk. I used KAF baking mix subbed in for the flour and salt/baking powder since it has that in it. It turned out great! I forgot to snap a pic of the finished product, but they were pretty, too, with the glaze drizzled over them. Their gluten...

    I dunno, sounds like a legitimate plan for all those unclean gluten-eaters out there!

    Continuing on the butternut squash trend, I made this recipe for Pork Loin and Butternut Squash stew last night. I used pork tenderloin instead of cut up pork chops (who the heck makes a stew with cut up pork chops?!) It was really gooooood! If you don't like the curry taste of garam masala you can just use regular seasoning you like. Pork Loin and...

    What a great doggy smile!

    Okay so I took one for the team and tested my mug cake recipe with actual measurements. This comes out in between cake and brownie. I think if you added more fat it may be more fudgy like a brownie. 2 Tbsp. Cocoa Powder 2-3 Tbsp Sugar (I used 2, to make it real good use 3) 1/2 cup Pamelas pancake and baking mix 1 drop vanilla 2 Tbsp. Vegetable Oil...

    Last night I made Beef and Broccoli, turned out pretty good Today for dinner will be pecan crusted baked chicken with mashed sweet potatoes and green beans.

    And it is basically the best thing you will ever put in your mouth, by the way. Haha. I have made a mug cake, in a big mug or bowl, with pamelas pancake mix. Just messing around one day but I have made it a few times since then. My store stopped selling the individual brownie pouches So it is out of neccesity. If I ordered the 12 pack online I would...

    Since I was a teenager and had a catastrophic life event happen, when I get stressed out I get bad stomach acid and heartburn that can turn into an ulcer. Very painful. If it bothers you enough, talk to your doctor about maybe taking an antacid, it doesn't have to be an RX one or every day. Also, like you said about maybe it being the processed food setting...

    I think you are doing the right thing in listening in to your body and how it feels. It does get better and a little less anxiety-causing as time passes. And of course, the more time passes, the better you feel

    There is no harm in taking a test, even though the reasons for taking it are irrational, if you have that seed in your mind, there is no way it will go away until you do.

    Now my crazy sister is telling me this lady is dairy-free, too. I asked her if it is dairy free as in lactose, casein, all dairy? She doesn't know. But at least with the peanut butter cookies, I have to double check, but I should be able to make those DF no problem. A year or so ago my husband had to go DF for a while because they suspected lactose intolerance...

    Hi Suzanne, I think your case is very similar to mine. I just happened to find out about my celiac when they were looking at bad GERD and gallbladder, and around the same time I found out I have a disease where I lack part of my immune system, lupus, and fibromyalgia. So when I was told I have celiac disease, go gluten free and good luck! I was like....

    You crack me up! I would go to your house and eat LOL
  15. LauraTX
    I wont eat anything on shared equipment. I will eat same-facility if it is a brand that tests and that I have confidence in. When in doubt, think about the "D" you will have and remember it isn't worth it, lol.
  16. LauraTX
    Yeah I would totally understand if the other celiac person passes on them. No matter what someone said to me, if they were a celiac themselves, unless I knew them well enough and have been to their house to see what their "definition of gluten-free" is, I likely wouldn't eat anything they tried to feed me, lol. I am one of the most anal retentive people...

    My sister wants me to make pumpkin cookies to take to a party she is having because there will be another celiac there. And she wants to eat them, she cannot have almond or coconut. So, the only good looking recipe I found used Pamelas Pancake and baking mix, which has almond in it. I need something that uses a pre-bought mix or flour blend, I just...

    I agree, ask for a copy of the test results and that way you can get a second opinion if need be. And it helps to give a copy of that kind of stuff to your primary care doc as well.

    Oh yeah, I bet in Spain they love paella in a pressure cooker. I am also interested in maybe buying one and trying it out, but the pressure part kind of scares me, even though I know modern ones have failsafes built in. I know my sister makes chili in a pressure cooker and it makes the meat much more tender than over the stovetop. What kind did you...

    Maybe they can get one of the "good kids" in her class, preferably someone she already gets along with and is friends with (so the kid isn't forced to and resent/be mean to your daughter), and have it where your daughter is always at the end of the table, so she only has one person next to her, and always that kid next to her. Then you can acquaint that...

    My local grocer will put gluten-free stuff on sale sometimes, but it is usually like 20 cents off a 5 dollar mix. Any little bit helps, I suppose!

    Today was a rainy day and I made beef stew... mmmmmm... tomorrow will be rainy as well and a perfect day for the leftovers

    This cracks me up. I have gotten that, too. "It is white bread not wheat, there is no wheat in this!" People have no idea what goes into their food, haha. And Adalaide, I met a Vegan, sometimes gluten-free hippie at the store that same day. Saw her with her kids grabbing pamelas bread mix so I say, "Are you guys celiacs, too?" because I am always...
  24. LauraTX
    That sounds really good, Julie. Honestly, any baked bread product with added garlic and oil, is gonna be darn tasty
  25. LauraTX
    With my myriad of health problems, I generally don't talk about them to strangers when I don't have to other than "I lack part of my immune system don't be sick around me." People always read something on the internet or see a commercial on TV and that makes them an expert. Their sister/friend/grandma/cat had that and they cured it with this magical treatment...
