    I purchased some organic edamame spaghetti from Costco last week. It was pretty inexpensive, and it seems to be a super nutritious food (the box says "ridiculously nutritious and delicious" - ha). But actually, it IS really tasty and nutritious!! One serving has 200 calories, 2 g fat, 11 g fiber (44%!), 24 g of protein (48%!), and 30% of Iron. This...

    I'll be honest - I didn't read through this entire thread. But I know all about having a 'picky' eater and FTT child (super tiny - she hit 20 lbs at her 3rd birthday!). Mine eventually had to get a feeding tube for about a year and a half. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions - maybe I can impart some of my knowledge!

    You guys! I'm recently diagnosed and in the typical "I need to prove to myself that I can cook gluten free!" mode. This was my first gluten-free holiday, and I am so pleased with how everything turned out! I made my normal creamy mac and cheese recipe, substituting gluten-free elbow noodles and the 1/2 AP flour called for; also made broccoli casserole...

    Merry Christmas everyone!

    I used Cup4Cup for most of it (and sugar cookies were fantastic with that last week) - but I needed 3/4 cup King Arthur gluten-free Bread Flour, and I couldn't find it locally, so I substituted Bob's Red Mill Baking Flour. Guessing that was my downfall.

    Indeed, let the baking begin. Witness my first attempt at gluten-free chocolate chip cookies. I'm a very good baker, so it will take a long time for me to adjust everything I know about baking - and get used to failures.

    Thank you for following up with them! Crazy that my first-ever bag was the one with that warning! But kudos to them for the full disclosure.

    Hi everyone, I’m starting a new post because it seems my symptoms are a little different from the ‘regular’ bloating issues. I haven’t seen anyone with something like this so I wanted to see if there’s anyone out there experiencing the same thing, and maybe if they have found things that work. It’s kind of embarrassing to talk about but I know thes...

    Hi everyone - this is a really old topic, but many of you have lots of posts on the forum, so I'm hoping you're still around (nearly 10 years later! wow!). Anyway, here I sit with my distended belly. Have any of you gotten relief just through more years of a gluten-free diet, or do you have any other remedies that you have found to work? I am newly...

    I'll be interested to hear what others think but I'm guessing we can't wash them clean. Bummer for me too because I have three bags of Kirkland nuts sitting around too! Funny, your post gave me visions of loading all the nuts into the dishwasher and cleaning them that way...i'm not sure why but it was funny to think of.

    I am recently diagnosed, and one thing I'm the most nervous about is eating out. For my first 'new' dining out experience, I chose a well-known gluten-friendly restaurant. I wasn't disappointed! They had an entire gluten-free menu, and everything (including the warm gluten-free bread they brought us before the meal!) was delicious. It was such a pleasant...

    Hi everyone (again) - I feel like I'm asking so many questions, but this is all new! I am trying to identify any cross contamination areas I might not normally think of. One place is the communal coffee machine at work (note - I know that some celiacs don't tolerate coffee well...but for now I'm crossing my fingers and toes and hoping that I will!). We...

    Thanks guys! I won't let one bad apple ruin the bunch. On cyclinglady's advice, I am trying out Country Life. Do you guys agree with the label that it should be taken with a meal? I ask because I don't eat till I get to work, a couple of hours after I leave the house (so, it would be more convenient to take on an empty stomach before I leave). Thanks...

    I am quite frankly surprised and disappointed by the rude response from Positron. I am obviously newly diagnosed and asking questions in a respectful nature, and I don't need you calling my doctors 'quacks' - I never said ANYTHING about a probiotic curing me. I am a well-educated person who is trying to learn all I can about this disease and how to treat...

    Cyclinglady, thank you very much! That is very helpful. It's scary that they label something as gluten-free when in fact it really isn't. I will look for the brands you suggested - thanks again.
  16. anyana
    Again, thank you for your input. I am obviously concentrating on my diet and eating the right food given my diagnosis. I am simply asking if anyone has a favorite brand. I don't need a lecture on if I should/should not use them. Thanks.
  17. anyana
    That may be true, but I have heard many good things about probiotics, especially at the beginning of going gluten-free. I am only a week gluten free, so I'd like to help the process along right now. Thanks.
  18. anyana
    Hello all - I would like to get some probiotics tomorrow, but I know when I get to the store they will have so many to choose from. I have heard that it's good to find one that has different strains (not sure if that's the right word), and obviously gluten free. Other than that, I'm not sure where to start! If it helps, the stores that are closest are...

    Some things you can't unsee!!

    Thank you for the Flippin Delicious recipe! Going to attempt my first gluten-free pie crust on Christmas to surprise my husband, who eats gluten and thinks his pie days are behind him (since I was diagnosed). Don't worry, it's just us, so if it's a flop, it's not like we're having a crowd over!!

    I do love my Costco, if only for paper goods and Ziploc baggies (and Kind bars!). Thanks for the info. We don't have a ShopRite here (Colorado) but do have lots of other natural goods stores (that probably jack up the prices sky high!).
  22. anyana
    Thank you for your replies! Cyclinglady, I wasn't clear about the Costco (Kirkland) nuts. They do NOT say gluten-free, but I was wondering how two items that both had the shared warnings might be certified differently - the flour is gluten-free and the nuts aren't (because nuts are inherently gluten-free but obviously can get contaminated -- frustrating...

    Hi everyone! I am very newly diagnosed with celiac, and I have been reading and reading all I can about my new lifestyle. I am an avid baker, so I'm already trying to learn gluten free baking. My main question, which leads to a broader question, concerns Honeyville Blanched Almond Flour. I bought a 3 lb bag at Costco, and it's clearly marked "Gluten...
