    Husband and I both agree... "Freakishly accurate!"

    In general I trust the gluten free label, but obviously there are exceptions. I always read labels until I am familiar with a particular brand. The only companies I never read labels for are Great Value, Glutino, Ener-G, and Kinnikinnick. There are also certain "gluten free" items I won't touch, these include Bob's Red Mill and Amy's. I've been glutened way...

    BE SURE at a place like that that they're willing to use a clean pot, collander, and utensils...

    The following products are Gluten Free: About Face Blusher About Face Brow Wax About Face Concealer About Face Eye Pencil About Face Eye Shadow About Face Lip Pencil About Face Lipstick About Face Mineral Foundation SPF 15 About Face Sheer Shine About Face Translucent Pressed Powder Lame Advertisement Clear Advantage Acne Lotion Lame Advertisement...

    Yeah, Kinnikinnick is my second favorite kind of bread. My favorite is homemade in the oven (in less than half an hour) with a pizza crust recipe. Yum.

    Not sticking to the diet if they are diagnosed Celiac would be considered child abuse and she could be put in jail and lose her kids. The doctor may very well report her especially since the kids were thriving while they lived with you. She needs to understand that she could literally KILL those poor kids by not sticking to the diet. I can't even fathom being...

    You are right in thinking that it cannot be cured. It is an autoimmune reaction that causes your body to attack your intestinal villi upon consumption of gluten. There is no way to prevent this immune system reaction other than remaining gluten free for life. Once diagnosed properly with Celiac Disease, there is no recovery or remission, it is there to stay...

    Hey Nancy, now we meet over here, huh?... I agree... There are a fair amount of the intellectual type on this message board. A far greater number than many of the other message boards I have taken part in. Perhaps it has to do with Celiac having a correlation with IQ. I'd sooner think though that it has more to do with the effect of IQ on your position...

    I generally use Bette Hagman's rice flour blend... It seems to work well in almost everything. Of course, you'll want to experiment before the holidays so you don't have a big let down for x-mas. 3 parts white rice flour 2 parts tapioca starch 1 part potato starch Add 1 teaspoon xantham gum per 1-1/2 cups flour blend

    I use Suave or Dove... Cheapest of the cheap... They are both gluten free. As always, check all ingredients first.

    Go to www.shopbydiet.com, click on the gluten-free button, and then search by cereal. You'll find many options. They have free shipping on orders over $100 too. It's my favorite online shop.

    I second the recommendation on Enterolab testing. If nothing else, it will put your mind at ease as far as other intolerances. Have you eliminated any gluten in lotion, shampoo, soap, hair care products, chap stick, and girlfriend's lipstick (if he's that old)? Just because there isn't wheat listed on the label doesn't mean it's gluten free. You'll need to...

    I don't know if they're gluten free, but if you could post the ingredients, we could read through them and tell you if they're likely gluten free or not. The only way to know for sure is to call the company tomorrow morning.

    Tom, my husband said that he preferred the Red Bridge over the New Grist. He said it's slightly fuller flavored, but without all the bite that Bard's Tale has. He's almost as excited for the release of it as I am, and he's not even gluten free by necessity. Our distributor had no clue what the price would be. The guy said he wouldn't know until he actually...
  16. Guhlia
    Oh, yum... I've never even thought of that. What a great idea! Make sure you add spices like ginger, allspice, and cinnamon, otherwise it might not taste like you're imagining it will. I might have to try this tonight.
  17. Guhlia
    Okay, so I sent my husband to the store to get a case of Bard's Tale. He just called me on the way home and said that they opened up their sample bottle of Red Bridge beer for him to try. He said it was very good, similar in taste to Bard's Tale. He thought that it may be slightly lighter than Bard's Tale, but definitely heavier than the New Grist. All in...

    ARCHIVED Hello - I'm New

    Guhlia replied to Ada's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Welcome! As everyone else said, it gets easier over time. Now it's second nature to me. Gluten-filled goodies don't even look good to me anymore. I'd much prefer to eat my fresh baked gluten-free treats. I would definitely recommend getting yourself a few gluten free cookbooks to start out... Don't let a few failed recipes scare you off. I personally recommend...

    You should be fine cutting the recipe in half so long as the ingredients are straight up and easy to halve such as 1 cup = 1/2 cup or 2/3 cup = 1/3 cup and you don't have to cut 1 egg in half (that can be tricky).

    Being gluten free can make you more sensitive. Her immune system likely had time to recooperate while she was gluten free and now that she ate gluten again, her immune system has kicked into hyperdrive trying to rid itself of the gluten. Her behavoir can absolutely be caused by gluten. If she tested positive, she really needs to remain gluten free for life...

    My hemmorhoids never itched, but I had bloody stools, sometimes quite a bit of blood. Definitely go to your doctor and have them check you out.

    Tiffany (Tarnalberry) posted that she had one... Perhaps you could PM her?

    Kinnikinnick has a gluten free rice crisp cereal. It makes excellent rice crispy treats. www.kinnikinnick.com

    I've never used egg in my meatloaf either, even pre-gluten-free. I use beef, worchestershire (Lea & Perrins is gluten free in the US), ketchup, spices, and Betty Crocker Potato Buds. The potato buds and the ketchup keep it stuck together.

    I swear by Kinnikinnick's flours... I have gotten sick from Bob's Red Mill products and Pamela's products. I'm pretty careful now. Kinnikinnick products are processed in a gluten free environment. Go to www.kinnikinnick.com to order online. Their bagels and cookies are fabulous as well. Their buns aren't half bad either, worth a try. Plus, it's $10 flat rate...
