ARCHIVED Is My Mother Wrong Or Right?
TinkerbellSwt replied to Mal's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I seem not to have a problem with my hair care products that contain wheat. I am a hair twirler too. I just wash my hands alot, especially before a meal. I dont wear lipstick that contains gluten, as I am sure I will ingest that. I know I probably shouldnt be using the shampoo, in fact Carla gave me a good one to try. As soon as I have the money to go... -
ARCHIVED Grainless Baker
TinkerbellSwt replied to TinkerbellSwt's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I guess it could be the sugar. I am a sugar fantatic unfortunatly. I only had one mini pumpkin pie one night and a half of a garlic breadstick yesterday. There was almost a week between the two. I dont know what happened. I am feeling fine today.. wooohooo in time for turkey day! -
This is a well known fact thru out this board! Most of us have had great experiences there. There are a few that have had problems. The other restaurants that I know of in my area are Carrabbas (they are owned by the same group as Outback). The Bonefish Grill and PF Changs for some Chinese food. There are many others, but these are the only ones in my...

Is tapioca starch the same as tapioca flour? -
ARCHIVED Grainless Baker
TinkerbellSwt posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Has anyone else had this problem? I cant believe it, it makes no sense to me.. but the two only times I have eaten the Grainless Baker I have gotten ill. I know it feels like gluten. I am not sensitive to any other of the ingredients on the packaging. I had one of their mini pumpkin pies, and their garlic breadsticks and both times got sick. I am so... -

ARCHIVED Refried Beans
TinkerbellSwt replied to Rebecca47's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I use regular Ortega vegetarian refried beans. I prefer the vegetarian due to the fact that lard is usually the ingredient in the others.. and I just cant stand the idea of eating lard. If I dont know its there.. I guess its ok.. its totally mind over matter for me. LOL. I have never had any problems with Ortega -

ARCHIVED Found A Great Cookie!
TinkerbellSwt replied to a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I havent tried Nanas yet. My newest gluten free store in the area carries them. I will have to pick one up. I do, however, agree about Pamelas. I just dont like any of her cookies so far. -
I am making a fresh pear custard tart for thanksgiving. I need some advice. It calls for a single crust pastry for the crust (obviously). The pastry calls for 1 1/4 cups all purpose flour (I would obviously sub my flour) 1/4 cup skim milk 3 tablespoons cooking oil. mix until a dough ball forms. now using my own flour.. should I add xanthan...

ARCHIVED Hillshire Farms
TinkerbellSwt replied to Lister's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I had them last year with no problems at all. They were great on gluten free crackers that I didnt normally like with a piece of cheese. I, of course, would check the label again this year, I havent seen them yet. I hope we can all enjoy them this year. -
ARCHIVED Anxious Bedtime Syndrome
TinkerbellSwt replied to rutland's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I also suffer from severe anxiety over sleeping. When I had to go off all my meds when I was pregnant, I was a raving lunatic. I was up all night. I paced the floors while having anxiety attacks! I then also was put on seroquel, a non narcotic sleep aid. It is also an anti psychotic when used in high doses. I now take 200mg. I recently found that I... -
ARCHIVED Biopsy Scheduled...freaking Out..
TinkerbellSwt replied to chgomom's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I had the same results as jersey.. no after effects at all. I didnt have a sore throat or anything. It was just a nice 15 minute nap.. recovery time was like 10 minutes.. they make you wait a bit just in case.. you just have to have someone to drive you home. They dont like you driving after. That is it.. no biggie at all -
ARCHIVED Stickers On Fruit
TinkerbellSwt replied to skipper30's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
This question was posted on a thread a while back.. if i remember correctly the answer is no wheat involved. I am sure someone will chime in with that answer for sure. I have never had a problem with any fruit with stickers on them. -

ARCHIVED Another Test Question
TinkerbellSwt posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Is there such a test that will test to see if you carry the celiac gene?? not to tell me if Colin has celiac, but if he carries the gene for it. I am having such a tough time with this. We have no proof that Colin is a celiac, but I have kept him gluten free just in case. Like I previously mentioned, I dont know if I can put him on a gluten challenge... -
ARCHIVED Response From Garnier Fructis
TinkerbellSwt replied to Moongirl's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I know maltodextrin is fine... but dextrin is too?? I didnt know that.. can someone confirm this? -
Ok.. I finally convinced Colins doctor to have him checked for celiacs. I just want to know if he carries the gene for it at this point. Colin has been gluten free since birth and he is now 18 months. I just really dont like the idea of giving him gluten for a long time so he can be tested. I just cant justify in my mind hurting him to find out. The...

I posted a thread earlier today about my experience at a banquet at the Portugese Manor in Perth Amboy. I dont know if I just dont see it? or is it not there? did I post it wrong?? in the wrong place? I am just confuzzleed.. please help!

We went there last night for a huge gluten free banquet. It was amazing.. soo much gluten free food. They say that this restaurant, even if you go alone, can accomodate a gluten free meal. They understand all about cc and everything. No one there got sick. We had paella, chicken marsala, a pork roast, spanish rice, steamed veggies.. and the desserts...
