Franceen, I can ditto your 2-3 hr label reading trip to W-M for the elusive gluten-free Great Value brand foods. I had similar results. I was really bummed, because I had gotten psyched for a treasure trove of new foods. The only thing I can add to the sparse list you made is the Great Value apple juice. Woo hoo! (I don't even care for apple juice!)...

ARCHIVED Rice Pizza Crust?
jaten replied to gointribal's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Claire, your pizza crust sounds like a winner. Do you have a suggestion for those of us who couldn't use the cheese in the crust? (I went cf again last week, and my body is really thanking me for it.) -

ARCHIVED Charcoal Made With Wheat/ Cooking On An Outdoor Grill.
jaten replied to rlemmon's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I've never seen Cowboy Charcoal. Where do you get it? -
YES! That's the pain. I bet it was the same, a gall bladder emptying scan. I won't have to be sedated, just very still on my back for 1 1/2 hours. If my gall bladder doesn't show up, they'll have to give me morphine. Not because the test is painful, but somehow that makes the gall bladder show up or start functioning, or something so they can...

Yes, soy has been a big problem for me. I pegged that one quickly. Just within a couple of weeks of gluten-free I realized dairy caused a problem. I switched to Silk....arghhhh! Then recognized it was soy in other products to. I love Amy's frozen meals, but most of them have soy, and they have always made my tummy hurt. So, here I am a few days into...

I had to laugh because I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere else. (but it certainly may have been) YES! This happened to me. I told my husband that if I was going to have to pee this much, I might just go back to gluten. (A ridiculous thing to say given how sick I'd been) I was spending almost as much time in the bathroom, but for a different reason...

I think the SCD would be great to determine additional intolerances, and I know I have them. I also think, from what I've read, that the SCD is very regimented. I'm not ready to commit that kind of time. I certainly may reach that point. It really is looking more and more tempting. How do you do it, and feed other people in your house? So far, my husband...

ARCHIVED Pamela's Gluten Free Bread Mix
jaten replied to suziew's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
When you make the buns? How long do you bake them? At what temperature? -
You're right, at least with a lot of processed foods! I'm not always successful, but I plan to try harder as of a couple of days ago. But if I cook my own chicken, fish, etc. and my own veggies in healthful ways, & eat fresh fruit rather than canned or frozen then it's easy to avoid. Could you try it for a few days? If you feel better, then it might...

Two quick thoughts: You mentioned corn syrup. We're all different, and you could run yourself ragged trying everything, but I'll pass along what I discovered, in case it rings for you. High fructose corn syrup sends me into spasms every time. I read a thread here where someone else said that, and I ran to the kitchen. YES! A common ingredient in some...

Thanks, Elonwy, for the tutorial. I was having the same question. Your method sounds practical and painless. I have another question re: the cards. What language is on the reverse of the American Cuisine? Obviously the English didn't need to be translated into English, so the space was otherwise used, but I don't know when to offer that other side...

MKM, Aloe Vera juice? I'll have to try it. Is there a GNC brand? Is that what you buy? How will I know if the juice I find is indeed gluten-free. I'll get some today. No, I won't rush to have my gallbladder removed. Geez, I've had so many surgeries in the past few years, I'd like to keep what's left. I am in the very fortunate position that my GI...

I did switch coffee brands about the same time this started. I moved from Community Between Roasts to Folgers Gourmet Supreme. But all folgers are supposed to be gluten-free, right?
-
Have you tried going to a very plain meat/veggie/fruit diet? I have found I do the very best with no processed foods. It's a little hard to do but it might help you. Really nothing processed other than perhaps a little salt/pepper on some broiled chicken. Then slowly, ever so slowly add back foods one at a time. I'm a fine one to talk if you look at...

I just got my cards yesterday!! I haven't used them, and probably won't for awhile because I'm feeling really bad these days and won't do anything to compromise an already bad situation. BUT, I love the cards already. Explicit directions, quick read, politely written. I've never worked in a restaurant, but if I did, I know I'd do anything I could to help...

I can only imagine the frustration you must feel. Why don't the tests reflect what your body tells you?? Who knows. Like the others are saying, let your body be the guide, not the tests. Your body will thank you for it. If we see it raining outside, we believe it's raining outside, even if a meteorologist hasn't told us so. If you're body behaves...

Thanks you for your support! Reading your posts was reassuring. It just helps talking to other Celiacs. I wish there were a support group around here. I'm really glad we have each other. When I said, "I give." I didn't mean I give up, I just meant "enough already." The pain is so bad that it wakes me at night and is also hugely interfering with work...

I've been gluten-free for about 4 mos. I have never once "cheated," but I have had several accidental glutenings. Going gluten-free began making me feel immensely better almost immediately. About 2 wks ago, I started feeling bad, and thought I must have been glutened, but I still feel terrible, getting worse, and I really, really don't think I'm being glutened...

ARCHIVED Going To A Wedding, Is This Tacky?
jaten replied to skoki-mom's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
I agree completely. I don't completely agree with this re: truly monumental occasions. That's my opinion, and I respect yours. If that is in response to my previous post, I assure you, I meant no criticism. When a question of a subjective nature is posted in a forum, we all weigh in with our opinions. Skoki Mom asked a question. I read opinions... -
ARCHIVED Going To A Wedding, Is This Tacky?
jaten replied to skoki-mom's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
I agree with Darlindeb, a wedding is about the bride and groom. I personally would eat beforehand and afterwards. A wedding is not the time for me to promote Celiac awareness, nor is a time for me to feel crampy and otherwise sick. I believe everyone's focus should be on a bride and groom...it's their day, just their day. Even a close childhood friend... -
ARCHIVED Ulcers In Ileum - Anyone Have This With celiac disease?
jaten replied to hollyd's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Not the same, but I was diagnosed with a duodenal ulcer (endoscopy) about 20 yrs before I was diagnosed with Celiac (endoscopy). In retrospect, I wonder if the duodenal ulcer could have been caused by damage/inflammation caused by the Celiac....I haven't researched, just wondering. I've suffered GI problems most of my life, along with arrhythmia, and a... -
ARCHIVED Waffles And Pancakes
jaten replied to momandgirls's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I like the Pamela's mix. It's the only I've tried other than Van's frozen and that didn't go well. I even like the Pamela's pancakes as a bread substitute. Seems like they use almond flour and so they have a slightly nutty taste. Not quite like "regular" glutened pancakes, but yummy. -
I didn't spend $100's looking but I spent $189 once I found the one I wanted. Sorry, feeling really cheeky today. Perhaps if i'd read how happy you are with your bread machine, I would have bought one of those. When I was researching on lots of different sites, the Zojirushi consistently had great reviews from very satisfied customers. It was worth...

ARCHIVED Quick Fix (nulev) Does It Really Work?
jaten replied to DarcyandMike's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Elonwy, glad the NuLev worked for you. In fact it worked for you exactly like it does for me....doesn't touch bloating, doesn't touch gas, but really goes to work on the terrible cramping making me a much happier camper....not to mention a nicer wife and a more productive employee....everybody's happy. Like you, Elonwy, and I'm sure many others, my cramping...
