  1. "Floating stools" Stools that float are generally associated with some degree of malabsorption of nutrients or excessive flatus (gas). Considerations: Floating stools are seen in a variety of different situations. Most are diet-related or caused by episodes of diarrhea that accompany an acute gastrointestinal infection. A change in dietary habits...
  2. Use Caution at Wendys. You will need to watch them make the food (just peer around - the kitchen is behind the cash register normally). I went to a Wendy's last week and ordered my usual "Double With Cheese, No Bun, Lettuce Tomato Onion Only, Extra Cheese. Anyway, I always watched them make it. This time, the cook made my burger and put it on a bun...
  3. celiac3270, Could you send me that also? Thanks broncobux2000@yahoo.com
  4. Keep the faith, Ginny. Many of us were in your shoes (or your son's) at one time or another. Now that you know what makes him sick, some relief should come to you. You will need to be able to read ingredient labels and you will need to know which items are ok, which are not, which might seem ok but are not and so forth. A number of people on this...
  5. Aha, its in Arizona....perhaps it is time for a road trip.... Open Original Shared Link
  6. Here goes.... 1. Biscuits and Gravy......man, those were great (Bob Evans). 2. Buttered Dinner Rolls 3. KFC 4. A stupid Grilled Cheese Sandwich with Tomato Soup to dunk in.... 5. A Fresh-From-the-Oven Krispy Kreme Donut
  7. Hebrew National Hot Dogs are gluten-free!
  8. Karen, I buy Cocoa Pebbles Fruity Pebbles and Envirokidz Frosted Flakes...
  9. Cindy, For what its worth, the further south you go in Mexico, the more dependent the area is on corn/maize than on flour/wheat. Having said that, you should take a few "gluten-free explanation' cards with you -- those are always helpful. Concentrate on fresh food while you are there -- seafood - ceviche - fresh fish - spiny lobster etc. Also, quite...
  10. I'll be there... I have the skinny on some decent restaurants that cater to the gluten-free Folk.....even in Summerlin! See you there.

  12. Tough question. Many of us "poop" several times a day. Celiacs have that type of digestive system for whatever reason. Its a judgement call, but from what I have seen on this board, 3-5 times a day is not that uncommon.
  13. Debbie, Welcome aboard. You will find great insight and advice on this board regrading celiac disease and being gluten-free. I noticed this quote you said, "He did say that people with celiac disease usually have trouble gaining weight, which is the opposite of me over the past several years"..... Well, tell your Dr. that celiac disease has...
  14. Did you ask for dressing on the side? If you just asked for no croutons, they will toss your salad in the same bowl as the ones that are tossed with the croutons. That will make you sick. Dressing on the side always (or toss it in a clean bowl -- but I am rarely that trusting) Hope this helps...
  15. I found one with a gluten free setting. It is a cuisinart... Open Original Shared Link
  16. Well, After 8 years, I have decided it is time to start baking my own bread (and the price of Kinnikinnick and Whole Foods Bread is now above $6 in Nevada). Does anyone recommend any bread machines for gluten-free baking? I saw one on gluten-free pantry called zorijushi -- its was close to $200... Any advice would be appreciated....
  17. Holy Fat Batman!!! T.G.I. Friday's Potato Skins Estimated damage in a typical 12-ounce (eight-skin) serving: some 1,100 calories and 80 grams of fat, 40 of them artery-clogging. And that's without sour cream.
  18. I can relate.... I have two relatives in California (one is a Psychologist, one is a psychiatrist) and they both told me that Eastern Medicine and the use of "pendulum therapy" can ease my medical condition and eventually cure it. I just smile and nod when they get on their rants.....some people (even medical people) have no clue.....
  19. Here is the reply from the Cephalon company (manufacturer of my pots and pans) "Calphalon pans are free of any types of residue if properly cleaned according to our use and care brochure provided in every box. Thanks, Consumer Relations" The use and care says to soak in warm soapy water. I honestly think a bigger problem is when people have...
  20. The reason you can't have the potato skins is if they deep fried them -- which I am pretty sure they do... Hopfully, I am wrong...
  21. I have eaten at Kings Seafood (it near THE POND).... I had grilled halibut, garlic mashed potatoes, sauteed spinach. It was good! Tell them you are gluten-free and they should help (Well ,the chef on duty that night made all of my stuff in seperate pans and cleaned the grill) Bronco
  22. Gorgonzola is not a settled issue. Recently, an article in Gluten Free Living discussed the matter. They had lab technicians talk about the amount of gluten in bleu cheese or gorgonzola -- they guy said the chances of any "sizable" amount of gluten in blue cheese was pretty small. The mold growth utilizes the bacteria to form the cheese -- the old bread...
  23. MY DH is not always "blisters". Sometimes, they look more like bug bites or even "clear acne"... and even "welts at times.... MY DH did not really begin to disappear for 2-3 years after going gluten-free (well, I thought I was gluten-free, but I was pretty ignorant of cross contamination issues.) Anyway, now it crops up every once in awhile (I think...
  24. Keys to cheap eating in college for gluten-free folks 1. Lays Stax Chips (just like Pringles without the gluten) 2. Carl Buddig Deli Meats 3. Kinnick Breads (Most expensive item -- order a loaf a week) 4. Milk/OJ/Gatorade/Water 5. Mrs. Leepers lasagna, beef strogonoff, chicken alfredo mixes (all gluten free and AWESOME!!) 6. Potatoes, potaotes...
