    I've been following a gluten-free diet for about 10 years now. Gluten accidents are very rare. However, when they occur, they are very consistent in terms of severity and duration of symptoms. None of this has improved over time. My body has probably healed as much of the previous celiac-related damage as is ever going to be healed.

    I don't have a recipe. However, I recently bought a cheese cake from Mr. Ritt's bakery. It was absolutely delicious. Their products can be ordered and then shipped. I'm relatively close and the 80-mile round trip was well worth it. I can guarantee that you cannot tell the cheese cake is gluten-free. Open Original Shared Link BTW, the bakery is...

    I came across the following link a while back. I never used it but it might prove useful. Open Original Shared Link The one time I stayed in Cape May (a couple of years ago), I stayed at the Marquis de Lafayette Hotel. Their restaurant was celiac-aware at that time. The room came with a frig and I packed breakfast and lunch food. Post the results...

    Great shine but I have fruit flies buzzing around my feet now. Any suggestions for controlling them?

    I would like to know that, too. It would be interesting to know which Blue Cross denied you coverage.

    No gluten problem. However, now that I have a soy allergy, I'm down to just one soy-free Classico variety.

    I eat the Ener-G Tapioca bread and use it for anything from toast in the morning to french toast. I have found that it is best when toasted. Otherwise, it will fall apart. I always toast it before making sandwiches. Having said that, I should tell you that I have yet to find one other person who likes it so be forewarned. Mine is just a personal opinion...

    The company's web site says the following: "While the current Codex gluten-free standard specifies a gluten limit of 200 parts per million (ppm), Bob’s Red Mill’s gluten-free products consistently fall below 20 ppm." The issue therefore of whether their products are gluten-free or not is dependent on each celiac's definition of gluten-free. For cel...

    It has just been about three months since I have been having major reactions to soy and you are definitely right. It does hide in a lot of places. The reaction, at least for me, is completely different than for gluten. In fact, for awhile I was confusing it somewhat for acid reflux. The symptoms have included major difficulty swallowing, hoarseness...

    If the cartoons are available online, can you provide the URL's? People on this board would no doubt appreciate them. I know I would. I've never seen a celiac cartoon. BTW, your blog indicates you are an artist. If your talents lean toward drawing, have you ever considered cartooning? Based on what celiacs go through, some biting satire might be in...

    I've been using Colgate toothpaste w/o problems.

    I know within a couple of minutes. Symptoms last 2-3 weeks.

    I did the same thing in regard to soy and for the past couple of months I have started paying a high price. My thyroid is apparently aggravated by even the slightest amount of soy. It gets to the point where I can't completely swallow and my throat feels like it is going to cramp up. I get short of breath and have no energy. Needless to say, I've joined...

    That's the truth. I have to confess that when I read that the image of a houseful of chimps flashed through my mind.

    I'm from the era of banana babies but the best I can remember I escaped that craziness (although I do eat one a day). My DX was at Johns-Hopkins and they did consider me cured by age 4. The articles are interesting. Thanks for making them available.

    I think I just experienced the truth of this first-hand. I started adding things back in to my diet and just had a major relapse (soy, not gluten). The ingredient lists on products apparently are of no use. Either that or it's the veggie oils you mentioned. I'll eliminate those and see how I fare. Thanks!

    I tried going vegetarian and went the soy route for protein. Tofu, soy milk, soy burgers. The whole nine yards. Unfortunately, the result has been an acute soy allergy. It's really nasty and no picnic. A gluten accident is actually easier to take. Meat and fish are back on my plate now, at least until I can find a safe protein source. At a minimum...

    I would like to extend my heart-felt thanks and appreciation to all the soy-intolerant posters on this board. You have provided me an invaluable service. It has become apparent that I have developed an acute soy intolerance. Without all of your posts, I would not have been able to figure out what has been happening. A couple of years ago, I started...

    It was the same for me. After going gluten free, I felt great...as long as I was actually gluten free. Especially during the first year, gluten accidents were common. This translated into a roller coaster ride of feeling good, then getting glutened and feeling really bad, then slowly recovering, then feeling good, then getting glutened, etc. etc. Judging...

    There are worse fates. I do almost all my own cooking and use no salt or salt substitutes whatsoever. I am currently finishing off two pots of soup: one split pea and one lentil. The only "spice" used was bay leaves. Nonetheless (and ignoring the obvious bias), I have never tasted better. The store equivalents on the other hand are not palatable. ...

    I've been gluten-free for several years. It was tough at first because I was on a learning curve. I made gluten mistakes on a regular basis. It was hard going back and forth between being sick and being well. It was depressing as well. However, I eventually got a handle on the diet and now consider my health normal (at least, "normal" by 54 YO standards...

    I experienced a similar situation on occasion after going gluten-free. I traced it to dehydration. Drinking the recommended amount of water per day eliminates the problem. When it does happen, I can always look back over the previous 24 hours and see that my liguid intake was low. At that point, drinking a glass or two of warm water (heated in the microwave...

    This is a good time for birds in Delaware. I spent most of the day in Bombay Hook NWR. It was a bit windy but there were still lots of birds. There are lots of good birding locations up and down the Delaware coast.

    Never heard of Mexican lasagna. Did a quick search though and found a recipe. Looks and sounds delicious. Might try it this weekend. Anything you do special when you make it? Thanks for the idea!

    I use them to make small pizzas. The result is similar to the thin crust variety. My favorite ingredients are: chopped onions, chopped red pepper, olive pieces, canned mushrooms, chopped Healthy Choice Ham, hand grated Sorrento Mozzarella cheese, oregano. No tomato sauce or oil. Bake at 450 until the cheese is the way you like it. Bad for my reflux...
