    My reply to anyone who said this and was pushy would be: "Come hang out with me in the bathroom for a few hours after I eat this, then" And I have a ridiculous conversation to add! More of an appalling conversation. Like Laura fuming at the ears mad abd wants to strangle someone conversation. I did my weekly grocery shopping and I wanted to do...

    I do agree with this. The only circumstance I can see this being beneficial is if Grandma made dinner and she has alzheimers or something that will make her unable to understand regardless of what is said to her. The reason I say this, is this is how my grandma was her last few years with us. One year she made Christmas dinner 4 hours early and left it...

    I have looked up Del Friscos in my area and they seem to be gluten-free friendly. Call ahead and talk to the manager or chef, and decide what to order before you go in so you can focus on the stuff you are doing with your coworkers. Generally, once you go upscale you are going to have much better luck at getting good gluten-free food, unless you go to one...

    I would use a test blob of dough on plastic wrap before you put all of it in there and can't get it off without losing half of it. I also say do garlic blobs... maybe you can put down a blob and then use a sharp knife to make a swirly on the top so they don't look too bad. Would still be just as delicious I haven't tried that brand crust mix, so I am...

    I can't wait for the Dallas area expo on the 26th, I will have to post about that. I am making my husband come to help me double up on samples, lol.

    I got their care package after I was diagnosed this year, I had to give them my doctors name and info and I think they got the info from them, but of course that involves the doctor's office cooperating. A lot of really good magazines, pamphlets, coupons, and some nice full size samples. It really helped me out a lot. University of Chicago is going great...

    Hi Scriddle, A lot of people will use laxatives to lose weight which they become dependent on, so at least you aren't doing that. But yes, if you partake in harmful activity to lose weight, and you are unable to stop, it may be a good idea to go talk to somebody. If you have health insurance, usually there is a number on the back of the card you can call...

    It is like soy sauce that was not fermented. Still that dark rich kind of flavor plus tons of sodium. It is used in a lot of the really weird diets, I wish I could go into more detail, but yeah I would use gluten-free soy sauce

    You said the pain is in your upper left side of your abdomen, any pain on the right side? That is where your gallbladder is, I have gallbladder polyps and they cause pain and nausea like the dickens when they decide to act up after I eat certain foods. The pain is mostly in the upper right quadrant, but I get phantom pains in the upper left and lower right...

    That is great, we really need more good gluten-free role model types out there, other than crazy celebrities who embellish and tack on their own weird stuff.

    I don't know of any that specifically are just to review products, but a lot of the blogs will talk about specific products frequently, especially when they are new. A google search of the product will usually bring up anything written about it, and a lot of people will mention products on here as well. If something is expensive and you are afraid to try...

    Today I went out with my stepmom to Genghis Grill. If you guys haven't heard of it it is a chain, mongolian stir fry. You go put whatever meat and veggies you want in a bowl and they cook it up for you. They are allergy friendly in general, will go cook your bowl in a clean skillet in the back instead of on the main grill they do everyone elses on. Also...

    I had to look up the Blumenbrot, those look tasty! I think in the US they may call them more like melba toast or crackers. But I do love crackers Pre-celiac diagnosis I probably ate more wheat that the average wheat-eater, haha.
  14. LauraTX
    Yep, Missbean, that is correct. I think the NPs probably rarely get people doing re-gluten challenges, they probably forget what to tell us!

    One of my friends bought me these weird vegetable chips, she was so excited she saw they were gluten-free, they tasted like crap but I felt it was so sweet she wanted me to have something safe to snack on at her party It was right after my diagnosis, too, so the niceness made an extra impact on sad Laura. By the way, snyders gluten-free pretzels, if you...

    I saw the tasteguru groupon deal and almost bit at it. If I wasn't about to drop a ton of money on a vacation I would have!!! Let us know how you like it.

    Don't ever be pressured into eating food that may not be safe for you. Its not like the zombie apocalypse and wheat bread is all you can find to eat. (long story short, that is what I told my husband what it would take for me to cheat, lol). I think bringing a container of your own food you can heat up is very reasonable, and a shared side dish or dessert...

    Thanks for the report!

    But regular grits are corn... no?

    It will probably be a gradual response, depending on how damaged your intestines were to begin with. But it definitely will not hurt to take a vitamin supplement, and in a few months have your doctor do some blood tests to check vitamin levels. My iron was low for no known reason for a long time, even though I took an iron supplement daily. 5 months after...

    Wow, thanks for posting this, it was very informative and I am so glad you were able to get some answers. Having that "click" moment is one of the best things ever.

    Also, for things like pies, unless the host is one of those people that insist that everything has to be from scratch, you can get them some of those frozen gluten-free pie crusts and have them make their pies with those. Then the stuffing would be the only thing to worry about CC with.

    Yes!!!! I was at a liquor store and they were sampling pre-made jello shots. I don't normally drink but I thought I would taste one. The lady at the table is the company founder and makes it all herself. Me: "Are these gluten-free? I have a medical issue where I can't eat gluten." Her: "Well they are vegan I am sure they will be fine!" Me and my husband...

    Luckily about half the stuff at Thanksgiving dinner is usually gluten-free naturally, like turkey and mashed potatoes. Of course people like to put crazy stuff in everything, so I would say, go early and offer to help cook, that will at least help you monitor what is going into what.
