It feels great. I have always struggled with my weight and used to be very sick...

    I know you do not want to fuss with flour sbut these are so easy and a huge hit. They dont need frosting because its breakfast... But they make great muffins. You could even eliminate the strawberry. Strawberry Cr

I had one bad experience there and I ordered the ribs like always and could tell right away it was not gluten free.My reactions are almost immediete. I spoke to the manager and...

    I love Starbucks I have a toffeenut white mocha everyday... The vanilla is fine most of the syrups are as well. Anything blended I do not drink... I do check anything before I try it. You can ask to see the ingredients. They should be really cool about it.

    For coffee drinkers that are actually interested in Starbucks beans know the quality of bean that Starbucks carries.(Caffenie is an addiction anyway any addiction is bad for you.)Starbucks takes coffee beans from a variety of farmers around the world and customizes their coffees. Yes if you want a coffee that is made from a pure Arabia bean you will pay more...

Until then I had never really...

    ARCHIVED Nausea

    mellajane replied to gaynonna's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Nausea is the story of my life.... It has played a huge role in my wheat allergy..I seriously think if you are allergic to wheat you tend to have more stomach issues. I have been sick a very long time and as a result of vomitting I have a heatal hernia and its a lot like reflux but much worse. Once I start vomitting I trigger that hernia and am sick for days...

    That is such a hard call.... For me a gluten challenge is so out of the question! For me I get very sick with throwing up, nausea and sweats from hot to cold for about 2 to 3 days. Its absolutely miserable. A year is a long time. I really feel if this lifestyle has been working for you stick it out. Im 30 and have been sick since 7. This diet has been the...

Im very paasionate about my job. On a lighter...

    Anyone out there have a good donut recipe? This will be the fourth time I have attempted donuts. Last night the receipe was very easy it called for potatostarch, eggs and a couple other simple ingredients. I fried them but the middles were raw.... It was gross. I have not tried the receipe for mash potatoe donuts. Several receipes keep going back to adding...

    I love the Pamela's pre mixes... I did just make a chocolate cake with the same mix and it turned out dry as well. I think we overbaked them. The pancake mix for cookies is awesome. I always add ingredients. Coconut does really well. Also peanutbutter chips are good added with the chocolte. I did not like the pre-made cookies! Foods by George has awesome...

    When I was tested I was not eating wheat for a month.It was not until later that I added gluten as well. All my test have always come back negative. But this diet is the only thing that has ever worked.I have been sick since I was a little girl and am now 30. Like they say the symptoms seem to be different. I am 100% sure I am allergic to wheat. When researching...
