    I was thinking about using this for thanksgiving for a pumpkin and pecan pie, was thinking I better test it out before I make it the day before and there is no backup. So yes, I would love for you to post a review and any tips

    If there is a patient advocate type of person, try to get in contact with them. The facility has an obligation to meet your basic needs in the form of a balanced diet free of your allergen. French fries and a plain salad are not a proper meal, and if that is what they are offering there is a problem and they need to consult with a dietitian that is familiar...

    I ditto this, enjoy it while you can. Maybe the first few days try consuming the bread at different times and see which feels the least bad. At least you will be getting some solid answers!

    I didn't replace my kitchenaid mixer, but I did give away my bread maker. Also wood, plastic colanders, baking pans, anything that stuff would get crusty on. I kept all my glass cookware though because when I clean something, no spots are acceptable. If you are the kind of person that leaves baked on stuff on cookware, things of that nature I would replace...

    For me, the most annoying thing ever is the people who think reading a few articles on the internet gives them a medical degree and makes them an expert at your problems. I have lupus, celiac, and I also lack part of my natural immune system, and I always tell people the minimum amount necessary because I have heard the most ridiculous crap from people who...

    I can understand, after struggling for so long, being able to finally let your guard down, but then doing it too much. It is hard to find a balance between oops that had gluten and total gluten nazi. The one time I almost messed up, I was at a dinner at a place that I could eat gluten-free, with my crazy old aunt. She was insisting I put the leftover...

    I do not serve gluten to guests at my house, because they don't know how to not contaminate everything in their path. Only a few select people who understand me are allowed to consume gluten around me, haha. I always put it like this if I am given trouble with it by someone. "If you were allergic to peanuts and had a peanut-free kitchen, would you...

    I love rudis multigrain, I have always loved turkey sandwiches on whole wheat and that made a great replacement. Also the Schar stuff that I have tried I really like.

    Tonalyn, I know it sounds cliche but it does get better! I was so freaking depressed when I had to go gluten free. I donated my pantry items to the food bank and gave my frozen items to a neighbor with a bunch of kids to feed. A few weeks after my diagnosis, I had long-before promised to go pick up and deliver delicious barbecue to my spouses workplace...

    Hi Hapy, I just posted a new topic in this area, check it out and I hope it helps you I started it as a reply to this but I thought it would be better off as its own thing.

    The following was written for you by a pharmacy technician who recently escaped from their retail chain job but remembers it all too well: I would like to help you out with a best-practices guide on getting what you need from an understaffed, busy pharmacy. I am also on a ton of medications and have a lot of experience doing all of this for myself, but...

    I am making enchiladas on Friday. When I make them I do a double recipe, and put together one in a cheap foil pan and freeze it for my own frozen convenience meal. I make my own enchilada sauce because I dislike the tinny, flavorless kind in a can. Here is my recipe. To make enchiladas just roll up prepared taco meat (I add black beans in the middle too...

    I love the old school picture! And everyone has such cute pets.

    In Fort Worth, TX, a family was on the news recently because they were throwing a rowdy house party and were rude to the police, so they went out and ticketed every vehicle that was parked and did not have the parking brake engaged. Technically it is state law you have to put your parking brake on, along with removing the keys etc. Also in Texas, if you...

    I always loved the texture of couscous and quinoa fills that gap for me. Cooks about the same, too.

    When I make soup I cook the noodles separate and add when ready to serve. If you aren't going to have leftovers you can cook in the soup pot, but usually they will puff way up and be gross when you reheat them.

    I have also seen veggie burger patty recipes using chick peas and lentils, I am sure any of those you can switch up for as well. It is really economical, too, unlike gluten-free baking, haha, so no stress experimenting.

    Connie, sounds like I need to come hang out at your house! /rant The one thing I cannot satisfy while gluten-free is my craving for a YEAST doughnut. Not a cruddy cake doughnut. I would pay anything for a gluten-free yeast doughnut that tasted like the non gluten-free version. I have a dream that some day, I will get this. /end rant But...

    Thanks for sharing with us. Like cyclinglady said, no cheating if you are actually a celiac If I were you, I would try to hunt down another GI doctor and get in to see them. They can do the genetic testing and depending on those results you can personally weigh the benefit of eating gluten temporarily to be tested for celiac. It will really come down...

    I have gallbladder polyps and I haven't had a HIDA scan, I can tell this thing hates me with a vengeance and doesn't work right. It used to respond to bad foods, now it just hurts whenever it wants. About once a month I am up all night screaming. I need to get it taken out, but I am putting it off as long as I can because I have a lot of other health things...

    It is always nice to have a place on the safe list for when you are out of the house. Thanks for the reviews, everyone.

    Maybe I am a 12 year old for saying this but.... I thought Taco Bell always gave everyone diarrhea. *ducks* Anyways, Things like this are bound to happen, no one is perfect. All you can do is move forward, and make your own tasty gluten-free tacos at home.

    I have seen some frozen vegetarian burger patties that are also gluten free. There was one you put in the toaster, I got an advertisement for it in a gluten-free subscription box. I don't buy those kinds of things so I can't recall any brands. I would go check out Whole Foods or a similar store you can get to, and just do some label reading and see what...

    You have everything you need for chicken nuggets! I would dredge nugget sized chunks of chicken thighs (so maybe cut each thigh into 4 pieces) in egg, and then in a mix of 3 parts rice flour/1 part corn starch, seasoned with the salt and pepper. If you can add paprika and garlic powder it'll be extra yummy. Bake at 375 until done (if you can bake them...
