ARCHIVED Anyone Tried Meals In A Box From These Brands Before:
Guhlia replied to Sweetfudge's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I REALLY like the Gluten Free Pantry skillet meals in a pinch. They're pretty good considering they come out of a box. They're on sale right now at gluten free.com for $1.99 a box. -
ARCHIVED Help... Neuropathy Experts Needed!
Guhlia replied to Guhlia's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Thank you guys for the responses. Luckily, the problem seemed to pass about a week after my first post and I completely forgot about this post. The baby has now turned, I'm assuming she was just pushing on some nerves or something because I'm not getting any of those symptoms anymore. Well, except for the waking frequently, but those are usually bathroom... -
ARCHIVED Gluten Free Pantry
Guhlia replied to angel-jd1's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I've never seen them packaged that way either... Usually they're in a bag with a similar design. Perhaps they're putting them in boxes to market them to mainstream grocery stores. The box may be just another barrier to keep us safe from the glutenous baking aisle that they put the mixes in. Though, I found my boxes in the pasta aisle of all places. Ha! ... -
ARCHIVED Broke Down And Ate Sandwich
Guhlia replied to bloatedntexas's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
It's happened to the best of us. There's nothing you can really do now other than sit back and wait for the nastier symptoms to start. If you haven't already, you may want to try downing a Red Bull energy drink. That seems to take the edge off the sleepiness and the brain fog. It's also packed with B vitamins. I hope you're feeling better soon. -

Disney is amazing, isn't it? :) -
ARCHIVED Gluten Free Pantry
Guhlia replied to angel-jd1's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
My Walmart had them for 2 for $3!!! I think they were on sale or clearance or something though. I can't imagine that's the normal price. I haven't tried the brownie mix yet, but the muffin mix is AWESOME!!! I made blueberry muffins and they turned out moist and delicious, best muffins I've ever had possibly. I'm so glad that other Walmarts are carrying the... -
ARCHIVED Gluten Free Pantry 2/$3
Guhlia replied to Guhlia's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
You should have seen me in the aisle... I was practically in tears. Poor Tori thought I was sad. People were shying away from us because I was so excited and then Tori got really excited. I'm sure we looked like lunatics. I think I bought about a dozen boxes. We made muffins this morning for breakfast and they were really good. I was excited because I had... -
ARCHIVED Spiderman Cereal By General Mills
Guhlia replied to Guhlia's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
It's corn based balls, tons of artificial coloring and stuff... Tori was SUPER excited though about the possibility of Spiderman cereal. -
ARCHIVED Gluten-free Pizza?
Guhlia replied to Belinda Meeker's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I do the same as ptkids with the white bread recipe and hamburger buns. I also make hot dog buns out of it. It turns out very well on both accounts. There's also a killer garlic biscuit recipe in the book. I add tons of cheddar cheese and lots of extra fresh garlic and they turn out amazingly well. My friends all think they're great. Like ptkids, I haven... -
ARCHIVED Help! Need Good Pasta
Guhlia replied to Dawnsister's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
TINKYADA, TINKYADA, TINKYADA!!! I've tried Bi-Aglut, Deboles, bionaturae, Ancient Harvest Quinoa, and some other weird brands and I didn't like any as much as the Tinkyada. Plus, they make lasagna noodles, large shells, macaroni, penne, spinach flavored, spaghetti, and much more. I love the selection! -
ARCHIVED Gluten-free Pizza?
Guhlia replied to Belinda Meeker's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
This recipe (Open Original Shared Link) is BY FAR the best pizza crust recipe I've ever come across. We make this weekly for pizza night. It's amazing even with just plain cheese or with lots of toppings. As far as breads and muffins, for premade stuff I stick with Kinnikinnick. It's the only stuff that tastes good to me. If you want to make your own... -
ARCHIVED Gluten Free Pantry 2/$3
Guhlia posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
For those of you who live in the Lancaster, PA area, the Ephrata Walmart has some Gluten Free Pantry brownie mixes and muffin mixes 2 for $3. They're on clearance so I'm assuming they were shoved in with the regular mixes and didn't sell... What Celiac would ever look amongst the glutenous mixes?!?!?! Anyway, they're located in the ?pasta? aisle under the... -
ARCHIVED Spiderman Cereal By General Mills
Guhlia posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Hey guys, just thought I'd tell you that I picked up a box of the new Spiderman cereal and it appears to be gluten free based on the label. Can anyone confirm this? I know it's a General Mills cereal and they will disclose gluten, I just like to get a second opinion to be safe. -
ARCHIVED More Tests....
Guhlia replied to Kujda's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Celiac Disease can cause seizures. It can also cause CF type symptoms: persistent diarrhea, bulky, foul smelling and greasy stools, pale stools, poor growth, abdominal swelling, gassiness, vomiting, dehydration, frequent respiratory infections, abdominal pain and discomfort, poor appetite, and malnutrition. I'm sure there are other symptoms that I'm missing... -
For ranch flavored Chex mix I would use butter and a packet of ranch flavoring mix. I think Hidden Valley's is gluten free, but I'm not sure. Cool Ranch Doritos would be really good in a ranch flavored chex mix. On the side of the boxes of Crunch Ems there's an awesome recipe for honey nut Chex mix. This is what our family always makes because it is so...

ARCHIVED Changes In Sleep Patterns
Guhlia replied to blueeyedmanda's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Yeah, same here... I have a much harder time falling asleep now than I did pre-dx. I also have a very hard time staying asleep. I rarely feel well rested in the morning. I keep the same schedule all week long (stay at home mom) and it doesn't make a bit of difference for me. If you figure anything out, let us know. I would love to have a good night's sleep... -
ARCHIVED Doctor Says Celiac Is Not Hereditary
Guhlia replied to Babs83's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
This doctor is TOTALLY wrong. Not only is it hereditary, but blood tests are NOT 99% accurate AND you can't diagnose Celiac Disease through a biopsy taken from a colonoscopy. They would need to do an endoscopy to take a biopsy for Celiac. -
Congratulations!!!

Just throwing out an idea... Can you premake some gluten free pizzas and freeze them? Then, when you want takeout, just throw it in the oven and forget about it until it beeps. That's about as close as we've gotten to take out. I used to keep the Amy's pizzas on hand, but now I just have my own ready to go. Much tastier and quick quick quick.

If you're stressing about it I would definitely go take a test. The worst that will happen is you'll waste a few bucks. Go for EPT, they're the only one that I trust. I had multiple negative tests with this pregnancy and EPT is the only one that came up positive, even two weeks after my missed period. Funny, huh? All the generics said negative. Even after...

ARCHIVED Help... Neuropathy Experts Needed!
Guhlia replied to Guhlia's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I'm 29-30 weeks. I'm really hoping you're right. I weigh a LOT more this pregnancy than I did last time, I started out much heavier this time. Last time I was 98 lbs. when I got pregnant. This time I was 130 lb. I'm hoping that has something to do with it. Plus, my placenta is in the back this time, it was in the front last time. Maybe that's part of it?... -
ARCHIVED Help... Neuropathy Experts Needed!
Guhlia replied to Guhlia's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
My doctor's appointment isn't until Wednesday. I just had to go to the lab today to get blood drawn. I used to have a weird overreaction to sensation, but I'm not sure if that was neuropathy or not. Anything that tickled or was cold was intensely painful to me, just like getting burned. I'm not having any of those sensations at all, just the pins and needles... -

Anyone know anything? I got the diabetes test done today. I should know more on that Wednesday afternoon. I hope. -
I am pregnant. The last few weeks I have been having increasing trouble sleeping. At night, when I lay down, my arms and legs start to tingle and they get very weak, a very odd feeling. Sometimes, they start to hurt a little too. It's getting worse and worse as time goes on. It varies which side I'm laying on, but sometimes both arms get like that, even if...

ARCHIVED Gluten Free Breath Fresheners?
Guhlia replied to Peter12345's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Eclipse mints. They taste great and they don't leave a funky taste in your mouth.
