Rusla

Of course you could open your pdf and copy and paste it to here.

Just post it the normal way.

Good idea, I will check also in a few days.

I was so upset when they called the other day to remind me and I knew I couldn't go. That is the problem, I work every weekend.

Linda, I wish I could have went but I had to work today and I had a class right after work. I really wanted to go as I have not had a chance to go to any meetings yet. I wanted to see if there was anything new but you and I are in the same boat. Hope skokimom went.

I don't think it is the garlic, I use copious amounts of garlic in everything I cook and still get gobbled up.

I am not to good at this computer stuff, but I looked on my printout and it said topic number 16824. I hope that helps.

Thanks I will try that.

Darn it is just showing me these two posts.

The bunny left me some Dove dark chocolate eggs and the little Reese's eggs. There's no ingredient info on the Hershey website; are they ok to have? They're staring at me...

Are these the small eggs? If it is they have gluten in them.

is this the recipe you were searching for Rusla?

I am not sure, one was posted yesterday in "coping with" I will try them all.

Strange how we both went searching for egg rolls at the same time.

I don't know if these are them or not, it was one that was posted yesterday in "coping with forum." Thanks! These look good too. No harm in trying them all.

I can't find that wonderful recipe for egg rolls made out of rice paper. It didn't print off well yesterday so I figured I would do it at work, now I can't find it...hellllppp!

Tiffany, I am going to give you the witches curse. When someone makes me angry or they do something rude by leaving a note on your car because you are a little crooked. What you say is "May you get what you deserve" If you say it at least three times or you can even say it nine. They will get what they deserve, be it good or bad.

Now, the egg rolls sound so good. I am going hunting again for rice wrappers. I do love them and have had Vietnamese food quite often. Usually when I have had it, there is lettuce, chicken and shrimp in them. I think I would love to add some green peppers, bean sprouts, mushrooms and other things. I just can't figure out why the Asian markets here seem to be lacking in them.

I am sure you are so excited and counting the seconds till you see your husband again.

I am so happy that you are alright.

Kiki--this is a family, a family that understands this disease when sometimes a real family can't. We have lots of young folks like yourself on here and lots, like me, who are still young in our minds and hearts. I will tell you, that without this family, I would not have known as much as I do now. This is because doctors did not tell me anything and I think it is because they don't really know. There is more information and support on here then anyone would expect.

It is a great idea to get friends and family to come on here then, they can see what we go through. This is a place where you no longer have to feel alone because all of us have this or have family, friends that do.

Welcome Kiki!

Everyone is different so it takes everyone different lengths of time. The main thing to remember is that you have to be totally gluten-free. That means, shampoo's, makeup, lotions etc. If you don't know if something is gluten-free or not then don't go there. I feel so much better than before, the big D quit in about two weeks for me. However, everything takes time because we have decades of gluten in our systems so, don't expect instant cures. I am better but not yet perfect and expect set backs, we all have them. Some of my set backs have to do with just a few crumbs I didn't even see.

My diagnosis came after I complained to my dr about the itchy and somewhat painful red blisters on my elbows and knees. Mine never looked white. They were reddish and contained a clear fluid most of the time. They were a lot like tiny little hives. When I got them on one side of my body, they almost immediately showed up in a symmetrical pattern on the other side of my body. Mine was never as bad as the pictures that I've seen so I consider myself lucky. I was just to vain too live with bumpy, itchy elbows.

The centres of mine are usually white, but around them is red and icky and itchy.

Maybelline is part of L'Oreal, their lipsticks, powder, foundation, mascara, eye shadows and eyeliner have the ingredients listed on the packages and their mascara xxl and liquid eye liner and lipstick don't have any gluten in them. The pure liquid. foundation does. I suggest taking a magnifying glass with you like I did or you won't be able to read most of the ingredients.

Congratulations! I am with the gluten-free club. Let them eat gluten-free, if it is good enough for you it is good enough for them. They will never know the difference until you wait till the end and tell them. If I was to ever get married, everyone would be eating gluten-free. Not only that but it helps broaden their horizons.

You know...I've always thought that home made gluten-free food tastes every bit as good as the original! Rice flour doesn't have a funny flavor, so I don't know why it would! Any time we have people over I serve everybody gluten-free food, and I've never heard anything but rave reviews! So why can't they make gluten-free packaged food that doesn't taste funny?!?! Some of it is really good....Tinkyada pasta tastes great, but some stuff.....like ener-g bread what is wrong with that stuff!!

They and many others think when you have this, you have to sacrifice good taste. Then of course the availibility of gluten-free spices and other flavorings add a challenge obviously, to large companies. Unfortunately it offers a challenge to some individuals also. It is like vegetarian cuisine should suffer in taste and varience because there is no meat in it. There is not reason anyone should suffer.

Actually we have a company in Canada that makes many dressings, dips, popcorn toppers, cocoa, special vinegars, chinese mix, cajun, jamaican and Taziki etc and all but the soy sauce and one dip/flavoring is gluten free. Their stuff is good and great quality. The dips are not just for dips but added to other recipes. Unfortunately they are not in the US yet and everytime someone has wanted something from the US and we have tried to send it ,customs thinks it is a group of herbal terrorists living in the jars and they break them all. So, I have taken some across the border when I have gone down to the US and either mailed them from the US or I have been in the same state like Idaho or Montana that the person is living.

I am planning on putting some into gift baskets to be raffled off at the convention in Maryland next year.

The rice paper is hard to find! We stock up on it when we visit my in-laws. They live in a bigger city and have a gormet shop that carries them, as well as an ethnic food store that carries them. If all else fails you might try ordering them on-line! It might be the easiest way. Plus they don't require refrigeration or anything so shipping should be easy We use the same method for making crab rangoon and they turn out great! Every once in a while we host Chinese night in our neighborhood, and all the neighbors come out for home-made Chinese food.....they LOVE it! And I don't think anybody really even knows it's gluten-free!

Which also proves my theory. If you don't tell someone it is gluten-free they will never know it, just like a lasagne I make with tofu and rice noodles with goat cheese. No one knows what is in it till I tell them and that is usually after they have ate it. The recipe sounds great.

If mine is due to makeup then it can take hours or even a day depending on the makeup.

Well, we have that down pat! We take vietnamese rice paper and brush it with egg. Then we wrap up ground pork, cabbage, bean sprouts, gluten-free soy sauce, and corn starch in them. After that we dip them in a VERY thin batter made from eggs, rice flour, corn starch and milk. Then deep fry till brown...mmmmmm.....they are good. I usually make my own sweet and sour sauce too, but I was lazy this time. I guess I got what I deserve....it's so easy too.....just rice vinegar, sugar, and soy sauce.

I'm glad! I think this board is the best place for people with celiac disease to be. I don't know where I would be if it wasn't for the advice I have recieved here. I would never intentionally tell someone to leave

Thanks, I will remember your batter.

I thought it might be the rice paper you use. I am having such problems finding the rice paper here. I thought it would be easy and I have been to the Asian markets and still can't find it, I will keep on looking.

Sweet and sour sauce is easy to make, like you said. However, in my lazy moments I buy VH as they are gluten-free.

I sure don't know where I would be without this board, that is for sure.

I just re-read what I posted to tiff earlier......I told her to step away for a while and leave it alone. I hope she knows I was talking about that particular thread and not the board in general After re-reading I see that it could have been taken that way. I didn't mean to make her think that she should leave the group or anything!

I knew what you meant.

Tiffany, let us know that you are okay. Because we are worried as you are so upset. There are lots of things that are probably upsetting you along with gluten, weather, your husband not being there and some of the left overs from the other thread.So, just try to wash that other thread out of your head.

Yeah I know what you mean I'm starting to think that the emotional effects of gluten are as bad as the physical! I made egg rolls on Monday night...and ate left overs on Tuesday. I know the egg rolls are fine, but I used an over the counter sweet and sour sauce to dip them in. I have been fooling myself for too long now, that I'm not affected by distilled products. I called the company with the sweet and sour sauce and was told it was not gluten-free because of the distilled vinigar. I disregarded that info because (although I get sick after eating something that is gluten-free through distillation.....vinager, whiskey, mcdonalds fries....ok I guess mcdonalds fries used some other process, but I still got sick) I thought "OH that won't bother me"! Well, it did. Sure enough I've been snapping at my poor hubby, then feeling guilty and weepy, then wondering if he still loves me (this only happens when I'm glutened) Today I just wanted to stay in bed and hide under the covers. I was awake all last night and I feel awful. UGH...I swear that's it with my distilled vinager experiments!

Hey, I just read your latest post....I skimmed over what is happing over there and it looks like something just to walk away from. Here lately it seems like there has been a lot of hostility on the board....must be the gluten Just step away from it for a while...it's not worth it.

What do you make your egg rolls out of?

I swear being glutened should be a valid reason to plead "Temporary Insanity" for a crime!

Hugs.

Karen

Let's see if we can get being "glutened" and "delayed lunar response" accepted in a court of law for murder. Kind of like temporary insanity. Alright girls let's go run over dear John with the John Deere. Remember the gluten made me do it along with delayed lunar response.

Actually when I am glutened I am so sick I can't be upset. However, for you it could have been a combination of gluten, weather, and all the other stuff.

The things that make me more than emotional, even violent are certain allergies and one is to cigarette/cigar smoke. Not only do they make it so I can't breath but cigar and certain cigarette smoke, just a whiff makes me violent. I have to leave or I may sock someone in the nose.

So happy she had a great birthday and she will have many more to come. Ones where she will be able to eat her gluten-free cake.
