    I've had this, and all I can say is YUM YUM YUM!! It was great to have a box of mixed chocolates and not have to worry about the russian roullette of which candy was safe or not.

    My mother makes a fantastic lemon sponge cake that's gluten-free, the recipie is on the back of the potato starch box i think. If you can't find it, or don't find a recipie that works, let me know and I'll get it from her.

    I know a woman in my town who is hosting a gluten-free exchange student through Youth For Understanding. Apparently the student was supposed to go to another family, but they got worried about being gluten-free and cancelled at the last minute. YFU contacted our local celiac disease group and it all worked out great!!

    You can use crisco too (I use butter flavor)

    They are litterally right down the street from each other. Whole Foods is at Washtenaw and Huron Parkway, HIller is in the ARborland mall on Washtenaw, just a bit west the US23 exit.

    Your user name caught my eye - our cat is named Indy, so you'll hear a lot of "go feed Indy" in our house Anyway... I shop regularly at Trader Joe's, I eat a lot of cashew and almond butter and it is literally half the price as found in any other store. They also carry Sharon's sorbet - the lemon is fantastic!! Definitely go check it out.

    Whole Foods has some good stuff (love the pizza crust and sandwhich bread) but you might also want to go to Hillers (in Arborland). They carry a lot of Celiac Specalties items and some other major brands too.

    Mircette and Seasonal (and their generics) are safe.

    Congrats!! You'll do fine, think positive! Also, come up with "plans of action"... for instanace, I wear a pager and when I suddenly have to use the restroom, I'll act like I"m being paged and say "excuse me, that's my daughters school... I need to call right away". (Of course, this only works if you have a kid ) but you could come up with other responses...

    One of the best treats I've had lately! I had to hide them from my daughter

    I've done two special gifts for people. I'm a scrapbooker, so I've made a couple of scrapbooks for different people. One album I just did the pages, they could put in their own photos later. One time I made an album, took pictures and ran down to the 1 hour photo to get them developed. I slapped them in the book, wrapped it and they had an instant memento...

    My dr. started me on Paxil and I had horrible reactions. He switched me Lexapro (half a pill/day for a week, then up to 10 mg) and I did, and am continuing, to do great! But if you really can't tolerate it, please call your dr.

    I know Ambien is gluten-free, but frequently side effects of medicines can be D.

    Progresso Chicken and Wild Rice soup is gluten-free, also Imagine brand soups and you should be able to find gluten-free chicken stock by several companies.

    Anne, can you make an appointment with your doctor? When I was very ill and could keep nothing in, my doctor put me on a clear liquids only diet for 48 hours to get my GI tract to settle down. Then I moved up to soups, etc. I can't beleive boiled meat would be good for your tummy right now! Better to stay with liquids to keep you hydrated. Feel better...

    Hello and Welcome! I think it's safe to assume that you either "got into something" or perhaps got a flu bug. Getting "sick" varies for each of us... usually D or C, stomach aches, joint/body aches, brain fog. You'll want to make sure your lotions, shampoos, make up and everything else you go near is gluten-free. If you live with people, CC can be hard...

    It gets better, I promise!! Start by making your diet as simple as possible - roasted meats, potatoes and veggies/fruit. I always make extra for lunches and have bought some seperated Tupperware dishes so I can make my own frozen dinners. Keep good snacks on hand (apple, bannana, nuts or Lara bars) so you're not suddenly starving. You do need to start...

    I have the same reaction to raw chicken. One day I threw out thee packs thinking they must have spoiled... now I realize it was silly ole me. Now I burn a scented candle in the kitchen as a prepare the chicken so I don't freak myself out from the smell.

    I have a friend with absorbtion issues from a colitis a few years ago. His pills also come out whole, so now he cuts them in half and they seem to be absorbing well. I do think you should call your doctor though!

    YES! I had horrible stomach pains. If someone would have told me I'd swallowed glass, I would have beleived them - it was that painful!! My bloodtests came back "fine", but my doc says if I feel better not eating something, it's pretty simple... don't eat it!

    My favorite is the already roasted chicken's at my local supermarket. Check to make sure yours are safe, of course. But mine is and I pick up one at least once a week!

    I shelled out big bucks for food testing. My nutrionist urged me to do an elimination diet rather then spend the money on the tests (igg and iga - not scratch testing) saying they really weren't very helpful. Guess what - she was right! Mine didn't even come up positive for wheat/gluten, but it does say I should avoid Lima beans... darn... I'd vote...

    When I filed for divorce, my attorney immediately put in an automatic garnishment of his wages saying it would just make it easier. Boy was he right!! When my ex got behind when he was laid off, they garnished his tax return He was pissed, but I got the money!!
