    I also travel a lot for work and more generally as part of our life... After having had some horrible gluten experiences, I now don't take any chances.. I now have a one-person rice cooker which I take in my hand luggage,, a small box with small bottles with olive oil, balsamic (small enough to pass the security controls),gluten-free soya sauce, salt and...

    I agree, Schär Gluten free bread is one of the best gluten-free great on the market in general.. unfortunately not all varieties are available in all countries in some european countries they sell the type called Cacciatore which is also very nice!! it is even good for sandwiches and you don't even have to heat it up or toast it..!!

    What wonderful news!!!! This result brings hope to many of us... I for my part I am getting there... I have been diagnosed by one consultant as having celiac disease and having IBS and severe gluten intolerance by another... Maybe the next time I go and see my GI they will do the right test and hey presto!! I am still on my second year... One can never lose...

    I make waffles wit all sorts of flours from scratch - teff, amaranth, coconut, almond and I mix them with ordinary self-raising flour in order to change the texture and tastes- 3 eggs, a good dollop of lactose free or soya yoghourt ( I am lactose intolerant)), lactose free butter ... And off we go onto the waffle iron!! Since becoming gluten free I normally...

    Oat cakes gluten-free, tangerines, rice cakes, nuts, tuned fish (mackerel, tuna) , boiled eggs..

    If you eat a lot of bread, then it makes sense to have one. I for example, find it easier to keep flour in the cupboard and make the bread when I need to, than having to go to the shop to buy fresh bread- also where I live it is very difficult to find nice fresh gluten free bread... It always comes from a packet and tastes awful!! Even toasted... ... Ah...

    No, it doesn't- you actually DO need a bread maker with ht egluten free settin because the dough rises at different rates than normal bread - also if you just use a normal bread maker without the special setting they break down very quickly. When making your bread you should follow the instructions on how to add the ingredients, quantities, etc to he letter...

    I second mamaw's advice!!! I was told to do an 8 week challenge- I was extremely ill throughout, sore tummy constantly, spinning dizzy head, blurred vision, ringing ears, joints to die for- I could bearly get out of bed every day, face full of sores, palate one enormous ulcer, you name it, I had it!!! Had I spent another week eating gluten items I would have...

    Together with Celiac I also have IBD and although I am now officially in remission since i have been gluten free GI recommended I go on FODMP diet in order to deal with some other intolerances and problems I also have - this book was recommended to me: IBS free at last! By Patsy Catsos is a good guide to the FODMP elimination diet - it looks like it is...

    Before celiac, I used to make all my bread I a bread machine.. It was wonderful! As you describe, you just had to put all the ingredients together and press the button and 2 hours later, there was the bread!!! With gluten free bread, you need to buy one that specifically makes gluten free - if not, the gluten-free four will break it- if you do buy one just...

    Also Holland&Barret have a great selection - I usually stick with plain versions of nuts and stay clear of fancy nut presentations like dry freezes or roasted with chilly, etc- our Costco is also about 30 minutes away I go once a month or so an buy a lot of stuff ( I have a big family and it is worth it for me) they have only recently started to stock...

    Sorry, I meant COSTCO
  13. MGR
    I am assuming you are in UK? Do you have a Cotco nearby? I have lately found that they have started to sell gluten free almond flour- it is reasonably priced and has a great texture and taste.

    ... thanks guys for cheering me up!!! I have just been travelling over Christmas and New Year and although I have now been gluten free for a year - I still believe in the "good nature" of restaurant staff and give in to eating my steak and salad as usual (because this is the only thing I feel is safe to eat that I have not cooked myself) and feel annoyed...

    My daughter had molluscum a couple of years ago... An important difference with DH is that it is not itchy and once it appears it takes about a year to clear up by itself, it does not come and go and is highly infectious- the doctor might give you something for it but it is generally useless as it has to run its course. if you have other children you have...
