    I can't go near the bakery in my grocery store or I'll get nauseous a few hours later. I've never had a full blown attack from this, but I can see how someone could. Light nausea is usually my first symptom.

    If you don't tell them the pasta is "special" I'm pretty sure they'll never notice. I've served it to guests who have questioned me on why I was eating pasta since it has gluten in it. They thought it was the real thing. We love Tinkyada.

    I use McCormick brand spices. They will clearly list gluten on the label if there is any. I have never had a problem with them. I generally add things like italian seasoning and garlic to my italian foods. I'm not italian though, so I may be way off.

    We were unable to get life insurance for my daughter because she was diagnosed with acid reflux... Insurance companies can be very picky. Ridiculous, I know...

    Has it already started? When's it on? I'll watch if I can convince Don to watch with me.

    shopbydiet.com is the best site I've found. Prices are decent and they have a HUGE selection. Shipping is free on orders over $100 too, so that's a big plus. I use them and kinnikinnick.com. With Kinnikinnick I place huge bread/cookie/donut/bagel/flour order and stock my freezer in the garage since shipping is $10 no matter how much you order. It's a pretty...

    Welcome! Try Tinkyada pasta. It's a board favorite. I think you and your kids will be pleasantly surprised. Just don't bother telling them that it's gluten free. They even make Tinkyada lasagna noodles and jumbo shells! I think you'll find that pasta won't be a problem for him. He's lucky to have a wife that's supportive. We ended up going completely gluten...

    You know, last night I made the most incredible ham and potato soup. I figure I'll post the recipe here in case someone wants to use it as a dinner idea. It really is the best soup I've ever eaten in my entire life and it was great reheated today for lunch. Delicious Ham and Potato Soup - the original recipe is from allrecipes.com by ELLIE11 INGREDIENTS...

    Actually, it can be gluten that quickly. It took me about two hours of no gluten for my major symptoms to lessen. I used to snack constantly because I wasn't absorbing any nutrients so I was always hungry. I'm sure it was the constant barrage of crackers, sandwiches, pop tarts, etc. that made me so ill.

    I made this last night with dinner and didn't really care for it. I considered throwing it away. I packed away the leftovers hoping my husband would eat them. Anyway, he's away tonight so I decided to make a sandwich using this bread. OH MY GOSH!!! It's the best sandwich bread ever!!! It's soft and spongy like wonder sponge, but it's full of flavor like an...

    Sadly I don't think I'll be much inspiration. I made the herb cheese bread that someone posted last week. Now I'm using it up for ham and cheese sandwiches tonight since hubby is working super late. I'm serving it with some raw veggies, ranch dressing for dipping, and a small side salad. I know, pretty boring, but I didn't feel like cooking tonight. BTW,...

    Hmmmm Jerry.... Sounds like another gluten intolerant man I remember from a few months ago... :)

    I'm not sure that I would supplement with Potassium. There are many potassium rich foods that you could be trying to push.

    I just wanted to ditto Barb's recommendation of the NY style foldable crust recipe. It's by far the best pizza crust we've tried yet and it's really simple to make. I don't think I will ever use another pizza recipe. Sorry, I dont' have a recipe for pizza sauce. I use Great Value brand's sauce and it's really good and inexpensive too. Oh wait, I do sometimes...

    Is it possible that a vitamin deficiency could lead to nosebleeds? I mean, since gluten in a Celiac's diet can lead to vitamin deficiencies. I don't know if this is the case, just food for thought. *edit* I just looked it up online and vitamin K deficiencies can cause nosebleeds. I don't know if this is one of the vitamins that isn't absorbed by Celiacs...

    The protein found in oats is very similar to the gluten protein. Some Celiacs do react to pure oats. I wouldn't see any need in putting him through a dietary challenge. You already know it's bothering him. If he were my child I would just steer clear of oats as well. Actually, my family already does stay away from oats because of the protein similarity. It...

    So long as you're out of the school system, I'm assuming you are, a diagnosis probably isn't necessary. Actually, not having a diagnosis, as Tiffany stated, may save you some headaches in the long run. Celiac can make it very hard to get life/health insurances in the US. You may want to work with your doctor at getting gluten intolerant added to your charts...

    There are several of us, like me, that can eat large quantities of gluten without any immediate symptoms. However, if I get just a crumb then I'm sick. It kind of seems like my system just goes on overload when I've eaten large quantities of gluten and it shuts down. When I did my gluten challenge I didn't get sick for over a month of eating gluten heavily...

    Thanks everyone. I got regular white cooking wine at the grocery store this week and I think I'm going to try this recipe tonight for a snack. I've been really craving snack type breads.

    We eat them with no problems. They're very good.

    I don't think so... Eggs come from a chicken...

    I don't know how excellent this is, but my family likes it for a quick meal. I cook Minute rice on the stove, chicken on the stove, and brocolli in the microwave steamer. The chicken should be cubed. Then I mix them together and add shredded cheddar cheese. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic. I put it in a casserole dish and then add more shredded cheddar...

    Mine was triggered after child birth, though looking back I realize I had symptoms my whole life. After I gave birth I just never lost that big baby belly and I was terribly constipated up until I started with the diarrhea. Before that I always joked about having an iron stomach because nothing phased me and I never got sick (to the stomach). I've never even...

    I think a thank you card and some flowers would be a wonderful way to say thank you, especially if you had the flowers delivered the day after the shower. That would be a really nice surprise for them and easy on you since all you'd have to do is call to place the orders. When I got married I bought my sister in law a necklace for organizing the wedding....

    Ooohhh... Perhaps you could use the pudding instead of the mayo??? Or maybe do half pudding half mayo??? That would cut down on the fat content I imagine and it would probably be really good if it turned out. You could also try subbing the instant pudding powder for some of the sugar. Let me know if you try it! If I weren't stuck making 3 dozen cupcakes today...
