    Great idea for making bread crumbs. I bought some in a box and will never make that mistake again. I don't know why it didn't occur to me to make my own! Thank you!

    I've been back to Pf Changs since I was glutened there and had awesome experiences. Wish I had some lettuce wraps right now!

    So great! Well done! I go for my follow up today!

    I think I must've been going in some very old old information. Thanks for clearing this up!!

    I was shocked to see modified food starch listed on the ingredients of ricotta cheese the other day. That's CRAZY!!! Baking soda and baking powder should always be fine, right? I guess we always have to read read read!!

    I did similar today with some chips. A couple of hours later I was hit with the worst kind of tired in the world and wanted my house completely quiet. Can't even complete a thought. Hope you feel better so very quickly! Lots of water also helps me!

    Agree!! Emailing them is a great thing to do. Just let them know. I'm scared of anything these days!

    It truly is a grieving process and a huge HUGE lifestyle change. I still come across foods I can't eat and for lack of a better word, I "miss" them. It's a loss plain and simple. When I found out I couldn't have my guilty pleasure gas station nachos I can't explain how sad I felt. Silly maybe but I still miss 'em! I've had both great luck and been glutened...

    I would say the same. Seems as if some need a diagnosis of some sort to "believe" us. They also take it more seriously... I say do what you need to make your life easier!!

    I made my kitchen gluten free. I figure I cook, so I get to choose. If I don't tell them that dinner is gluten free, they don't even know most of the time. My family has a loaf of gluten bread and a couple of pots/pans they can use if they want to cook something. I keep all of this far from where I fix food. I've threatened them within an inch of...

    FUNNY!!!! Throwing up the celiac gang sign!! Maybe also tossing up some toilet paper!! Even though you didn't *want* to hear your DX, at least you know what to do now!! That's a great thing!!

    I agree. I wouldn't even try it at BJ's brewhouse the other day. No matter what they tell me, I just won't knowingly ingest anything even remotely gluten. No way, no how.

    It's super good news! You're right….it can and does get better!! Great job!

    Sure hope she gets a colonoscopy to check for polyps! I get asked all the time if it'll ever go away. NOPE!!

    It's funny because I always thought everything in the world was causing symptoms *but* the Metamucil. Since my diagnosis, I take whatever is 100% psyllium husk - currently Target brand - and have had good luck (pun intended!) Must be a sensitivity issue?

    My sneaky source of gluten turned out to be supposedly gluten free chips. After I got down to my detective work because I couldn't figure out why I still had cramps and D, turns out my chips I thought were safe were manufactured on equipment that also processes wheat. It was a classic warning for me to stop processed everything. Maybe something like that...

    SHEESH I am so mad that that happened to you. GRRRRRR. I say go back and stab him in the eye and we'll all be your alibi!! I've posted this before but my old GI doctor said, "You present classic celiac, but you don't have that." WHAT?? How did he know? I'll tell you how…HE DIDN'T!! He was a jacka** who kept on prescribing very expensive medicine with n...

    He sounds like a jerk. Every time we have a meeting where I work they always "forget" to order something for me and then fall all over themselves making empty apologies. I find it amusing at this point to pull out my very healthy meal while they all gorge on gluten and fat. Is that terrible??!!
  20. livinthelife
    I hope I can try it. I don't care for bananas and would hope no flavor lingers though!
  21. livinthelife
    So glad you enjoyed your meal!!! Happy V Day!!!

    Same here exactly. Same bedtimes, same husband. If I know we're going out to dinner with friends, I have to plan for it all day as far as resting, and I usually have coffee before we leave. Of course this means I don't accomplish any house stuff or errands and it all snowballs. You know how it goes, I'm sure. He is slowly understanding that I'm not...

    This is just wonderful news!! YOU GO GO GO!!!!

    3-4 months? Bless you! I usually take the better part of a week. First is stomach then eye scratching/swelling, then bathroom and brain fog, then general knock me out exhaustion, which to me is the worst. then the joint pain. And a slow stomach burn that lasts at least a week or more. I can handle that the easiest. All this makes me very careful. It...

    Oh man I'm so sorry you feel this bad. Been there. You need to eat whole foods with simple seasonings. Nothing processed. Not one thing. Maybe even no dairy at first. It may seem insurmountable at first, but I promise it's not. Sautéed chicken in a little olive oil and your favorite veggie. Make enough in your new pan for plenty of leftovers for the ...
