  1. Absolutely not true! Go ahead and get your coffee to go --I go there several times a week, and have never drank out of anything except a regular paper Starbucks cup. I'd love to know where the dietitian got that gem?
  2. Leftover baked ziti and a Magnum Bar
  3. Wanted to let anyone in the Philadelphia area know about Taffets All Gluten Free Bakery on 9th Street, in the Italian Market. We stumbled upon it this weekend--went in and had a pleasant chat with the owner. I bought a baguette, and he gave me a chocolate cherry biscotti to try. Both were delicious. How wonderful it was to walk into a bakery and be...
  4. Celiac is an autoimmune disease. No matter how well you get yourself feeling--which is totally possible--the disease itself is still there. I feel perfectly normal unless I get accidentally cross contaminated. Took years to get to this point, though, and I would never consider relaxing the "no gluten ever" rule. Plus, with Celiac, symptom intensity...
  5. Exactly--there is currently no cure for Celiac Disease. There are things people can do to help with or even eliminate the symptoms of the disease, but the underlying cause will always be there.
  6. As regards the "how much gluten/time is needed for a challenge issue, this is the way I see it and people's mileage will vary. There doesn't seem to be an agreed upon amount of gluten or time frame by "the experts". In looking for the latest recommendations, I see studies from the mid 2000's, touting the 2-4 slices of bread a day for a month or 2, and...
  7. No, not specifically. I think that, as happens sometimes, I was reacting to a lot of things while my gut was still damaged and trying to heal.
  8. Leftover white pizza with ricotta, tea, and a Lara Bar.
  9. I did when I first went gluten-free. I avoided it for a while, and was able to incorporate it back little by little.
  10. We posted at the same time! That's great that yours resolves on it's own--hopefully an OTC or similar "home remedy" will offer a bit of relaxation. Gotta get your sleep!
  11. Bun, I am gonna be honest with you here. In order to heal, sleep is vital. Vital. I went through an extended period of awful insomnia in the last year to where even Ambien didn't work. I was desperate to sleep, and the only thing that helped was Ativan. Unfortunately, it is also extremely addictive. They say "causes dependency" but I say addicted since...
  12. I use Afterglow and Burt's Bees Lip Shimmers. Looks like I'll have to check out Red Apple too
  13. I bet it will be delicious Happy Birthday!
  14. If he can tolerate it, tapioca starch would be a good substitution.
