    Happy birthday and may God bless you today!

    Danikali, I have to say that I thought I was reading my own story! I have been suffering for 12 or more years. In fact, when I think back, I have had symptoms my entire life. I, too, saw so many specialists (several GI docs). I had at least 10 endoscopies trhroughout my life (never a biopsy until last month), every test imaginable and then some. I was...

    I contacted one of my local grocery stores, Albertson's, to ask about some of their name brand products and they sent a list for all their brands. It specifies gluten-free or not ... It is an Excel worksheet and long so I cannot paste it here but if anyone is interested, I will be happy to email an attachment. Jo Ann

    I have been so irregular for the past 10 years. My new doctor thinks that celiac disease could be the cause of it. I go months and months without a period. I have had very low iron for years too. One doctor thought I was starting early menopause but the estrogen levels were normal. It would be interesting to find out if this is another symptom of celiac disease...

    I agree with Kaiti. Everyone is different. I have only had one known reaction and it was within 30 minutes after eating. I am hoping I continue to do this right but I am sure to get glutened again. From what I have read here, it seems to happen to most people. We just have to do our absolute best to stay gluten-free and learn from any mistakes that are...

    I haven't tried that brand yet. I am a bit scared to try another pasta as I had a reaction my second week to DeBoles corn spaghetti. That was my one and only reaction since starting 3 weeks ago. I bought some rice pasta to try but will still look for that brand on my next trip to the market. Thanks!

    ARCHIVED What Books?

    I did notice some discrepencies in the Gluten Free Bible but some of the things it said was helpful. In my opinion, the best answers are given here. I like to read as much as I can so I can ask more intelligent questions. I feel pretty stupid since starting this three weeks ago. Jo Ann

    I just wanted to share this with all of you. My husband ate the gluten-free dinner I made tonight and liked it! I was shocked because he hasn't wanted to try anything new. I am Italian and already missing my old meals. So, when life throws corn tortillas at me, I make lasagna! It was so good! I am not a gourmet cook or anything but this came to me and I threw...

    ARCHIVED What Books?

    jrom987 replied to Noelle126's topic in Publications & Publicity

    I am new at this but I am probably the Queen of book buying! Here are the ones I have and have on order. The ones with the * are my personal favorites. *The Gluten-Free Bible by Jax Peters Lowell *The gluten-free Kitchen by Roben Ryberg Eating gluten-free by Shreve Stockton *The Gluten-Free Gourmet by Bette Hagman Wheat-Free, gluten-free Reduced Calorie...

    Rusla, Do you mind sharing your recipe for chocolate chip cookies? Jo Ann

    I absolutely love the cereal that I found and have had no reaction to it at all. BUT since it does not specify that it is gluten-free, I just called the company to ask. They do not label it gluten-free because "it is processed in a plant that produces wheat products". However, he did say it there products are tested and if any cross contamination has occured...

    I found on a cool website: "Have you ever used a Gluten Home Test Kit? I was over the moon when I discovered I could buy a gluten home test kit from Tepnel. On my travels, I had frequently been made ill by products marked 'gluten free' and desperately needed some way to test them. It was slightly less exciting to find out that the test kit costs over...

    I wanted to see what I could find out to better understand the contamination in our processed foods. I found this site and thought someone else might like to read it. Open Original Shared Link Jo Ann

    ARCHIVED Struggling

    jrom987 replied to Food's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    "I went out to eat last night for the first time since going gluten-free, and it was no fun. I felt like such a nag to the waitress. I wanted to cry. The guy sitting across from me was eating mozerella sticks dipped in marinara sauce, and my son had a hamburger with fries. Someone else had a club sandwich (my favorite!). I'm hoping that after awhile...

    Thanks for asking such a good question! I am new to this and I just purchased a bread machine. I would love for people to give some feedback on this topic! My brad machine should arrive tomorrow! Jo Ann

    I am new to this and was wondering 1) how did you find out that you are sensitive down to 31 parts? and 2) who sent it the University of Nebraska for testing? I eat Amy's stuff all the time and have not had any problems with it that I have noticed so I am very curious. Thanks! Jo Ann

    Same fair! I live in Mesa. Thanks for all your advice! Jo Ann

    I don't know for sure but it could be. My right foot has been swollen for over 4 years and no one knows why. I have seen every specialist my primary doctor could think of sending me to. I have had every test imaginable also. I stopped looking for a reason about 2 years ago and just deal with two different sized feet. I also have edema in the right leg. Maybe...

    Thank you so much!

    Hello! I am stuck again with not understanding what it is about caramel color that we are not supposed to have. Can anyone explain this to me? Also, are Frito's and Tostitos okay or not? It is my understanding that they are not produced on dedicated productions lines. Am I wrong? I noticed, according to what I read here. that Lays Stax are okay...

    I went to the Whole Foods website and there is a ton of information! Here is a link to their website. Hope this helps some. Jo Ann Open Original Shared Link

    Thank you! I will check those websites.

    Monica, Thanks for asking how I feel! I have to knock on wood as I say this. Yesterday and today are the first days in a very long time that I have gotten out of bed without a raging backache and headache. I can actually stand up straight without holding my back and whimpering. I can't tell you how much I am hoping this is real and not a dream! Ha ha...

    Just wanted to add this. I went to Albertson's yesterday and I had to ask where gluten free foods were. They do not have their special foods separate from everything else. I had to look with all the regular food. I found the cereal but didn't feel like spending 5 hours in the grocery store last night. I will look at more items next time I go there. I do...

    Claire, I have been reading so much here about CoQ10. Can you tell me anything about it? What kind of supplement is it? Sorry to sound stupid but if I don't ask, I will never know. Thanks! Jo Ann
