    I am looking for anyones new speciality! I have been making all the suggested ones, some we like, ALOT, some not so much... Our latest is the Chicken stuffed with goat cheese or marscapone.. I forget who wrote it, but it is delicious, and we made it with both cheeses, the goat cheese stays in the chicken better.. but anywhoooo.. please, anything good,...

    I simply say to waiters and people who dont me too well, I get violently ill. I can end up in the ER. That has always been enough for me. When it gets too bad, I actually do go to the ER to help me with the pain of getting thru it. I havent had to do that in a while now, Keep my fingers crossed!!

    It has happened to me a few times. I have to say one of the better places always was for me Whole Foods, but you cant be totally sure of no cross contaimination there. They do list all ingredients and hide no wheat or any type of gluten, but you cant trust people. I would go to bringing my own lunch for a while and see if you feel better. If not, could...

    As you can tell by the title my baby started daycare today. He is only going once a week to start. Its actually a babysitter not a daycare. He kissed me goodbye and went to play with the other kids. He isnt really a baby per say anymore. He is 1 1/2. But he is growing up, who said he was allowed to do that/??? waaaahhhhhh, I hope it gets easier. I...

    I am going to write her (the nutrionist) at the hospital a very friendly letter. Thanking her for the information, there are a few places in the back that I never knew had gluten free stuff, and tell her in a very nice way the mistakes that are in the pamphlet. I hope they listen and hope they learn from it.

    Thanks for all the positive support. You know who you are. I dont have pity parties, in fact the reason why this all is such a blow, is that it never happened before. Carla, you are right about the email thing, I did that even before I read the thread again. We are talking. I explained my worries and such to her. I said I will be my own advocate. ...

    Yeah, thats it. Its not so much about the food. They always make something I can have, just usually they cross contaiminate it. On the superbowl, everything was kept away that wasnt gluten free and there really wasnt much... but while I was in the kitchen feeding my son, my sister in law made her girls uncrustables sandwiches and had them eat them at the...

    I thought all along my family was so understanding with this disease and such. I found out today, b/c of another issue with my mother, that people are tired of dealing with my celiac. That I make them uncomfortable. That they should be able to eat what they want at their own houses. Which I agreed to. but I have been asking lately what foods will be...

    I had actually the same thing happen. I was buying Goodmans potato starch in the regular Kosher section of my supermarket. Then I went to an Asian market and was in heaven, as some of you know the price differences can make you cry! Well yesterday I was making lorkas bread, and finished off my canister of Goodmans potato starch. So I went to my closet...

    Yes, what I meant with the gain weight, no an allergy specifically does not cause us to gain weight. Of course not. I just mean, myself particularly, since going gluten free and my system healing, I am actually gaining weight b/c now my body is actually absorbing foods, before the diet, I was losing weight in abundance!! It was unreal. Once I started...

    hmmm, those both sound good lorka, shredded cheddar doesnt bother me, its the fuller body cheese, like brie, goat cheese.. those heavy cheeses, maybe it is the fat.. hmmmm.. now I be thinkin.. thanks oh yeah lorka, thanks for that bread you gave us the recipe for, not only is it good, but it is helping my sons digestive system, I only have to give him...

    Finally... we tried the Bonefish Grill that just moved into our town a few months ago. Wow, it was great. My in laws didnt like it, they wanted to know why they didnt get salads for free before the dinner and such.. oh well... I had the saucy shrimp for appetizer... oh yum, I could have had that just for dinner. Then I had the Lilys Chicken... I know...

    If I eat something with direct wheat in it as in a sauce, I will know almost right away, the grumbling tummy starts, a CC issue, usually within 20 minutes. If its a minor glutening, I just have to get it out of my system, usually with a nice long visit to the bathroom, once its out I am ok. If I have a major glutening, the first happens, the visit, then...

    I just made a cake mix, yes from a box! that required nothing more than 3 eggs and some oil, and bake.. Liebers, says gluten free right on the box, and double checked the ingredients its gluten free, and omg, its good! I didnt like the frosting it comes with, its a powder mix and you have to add oil and boiling water, so I didnt frost it. I will get frosting...

    According to the pamplet, buckwheat is a no no too!!! lol, I would have been in trouble a long time ago! I met a wonderful girl who is in college at my gluten free pizza party, her and her mother were such nice people. She, the young girl, is in college, and is studying nutrition, and is going to specialize in celiac. She doesnt want people to go thru...

    So sorry to hear of your loss. Sometimes I think life is just unfair.. I know that sounds selfish too, but it hurts so much. I know your friend is in a better place now, no more disease. I hope you find comfort soon

    I agree, it has to do with the Vote for the Worst website. They are keeping Sanjaya and Antonella b/c of it. Nick wasnt the greatest, he wouldnt have made it all the way, but keeping Sanjaya?? That is just crazy!! I hope the vote for the worsts get outnumbered soon.. it takes a bit, but eventually they do, unfortunatly some get sent home that shouldnt...

    My father in law is a pharmacist at a hospital here in NJ. He ended up talking with one of the nutritionists at the hospital for one reason or another and my celiac disease came up. So she went and got him the pamphlet they hand to all newly diagnosed celiacs. ummmmmm... Im confuzzled. The guide says to avoid foods that contain: wheat, rye, oats, barley...

    Does anyone have a reaction to just cheese? not dairy, just cheese? I seem to get a bellyache after I eat cheese, no matter what kind. I thought ok, its a dairy issue, but then goat cheese bothered me too, and that isnt considered dairy in allergen terms. Could it be just too rich for me? or am I just deluding myself and its a dairy allergy?

  24. TinkerbellSwt
    This recipe is very similiar to Carol Fensters pizza crust. It works well. It gets really puffy during the original crust bake, I just pat it back down to get the toppings on! its yummy!

    My son is 21 months and lives a gluten free life. We did listen to the docs and started with cereal in his bottle. My son was also severly premature and they wanted him to gain weight as soon as possible. I know they say no cereal in bottles, but we were told to, and like first mothers I am sure, I listened. The rice cereal didnt bother him. We just...
