where do you get this stuff? is it only available if you order it yourself?

christine

I buy it at Walmart and at many local supermarkets, BIG Y, Stop & Shop, Price Chopper etc. It is much cheaper at walmart though.

I am amazed at the number of people on the board that are asymptomatic.!! I never would have thought there were this many here.

I am eager to hear more about the Corona beer being gluten free. Does anyone know more about this??

My mother-in-law was DX a few years ago. My husb and son just DX recently. My husb's 3 siblings were tested with negative results.My brother-in-laws autistic son was tested negative also.

PS Be careful with Whole Foods pasta sauces - they may look safe but most aren't gluten-free

In reference to the past sauces, are you referring to the ones that are maked gluten free?

we used to own a KFC----i still make my coleslaw like i did back then---only we used red wine vinegar. i'm going to check this site out, sound fun!

christine

Would you mind sharing the KFC coleslaw recipe?? it's one of husb favorites and we are not likely to be spending much time at KFC anymore!!

I emailed WalMart and recd a reply that they could not tell me if this product contained gluten or not. I replied back that since this is their product ,I have a right to expect a correct answer from them. An hour or so later I recd a call from my local Walmart pharmasist who asked my details about this product and said she would research and get back to me.

It took awhile, but she called today and said that she did find out that the Equate complete multi vitamen is gluten free!!

I guess we need to be persistent and patient!!

IMO the GI is a specialist and worth the $20 copay. Our primary physician is fine for routine stuff, but I prefer the specialists when it comes to things of this nature. I would look for another GI that you would feel confortable with.

Hang in there Jasons mom. I was also overwhelmed when my husband was DX in Dec and my 8 yr old son a few weeks ago. Both are like you and have no symptoms. Although it is wonderful that they are not sickened by eating gluten, it does make it considerably more difficult to know if you have accidentily ingested some. The only thing I can tell you is what we are doing and that is to study and learn as much as possible. I know that mistakes will happen especially in the beginning, but as we learn more and more I am hopeful that we will have no more accidents! I don't think that there is any clear way for asymptomatic patients to ever really know.(Is there?) It is a long journey that I am just beginning, so Jasons Mom, you have good company here. I did not realize until reading this message that there were so many others here without symptoms. I thought my family were the odd ones. Looks like we are not so odd after all.

I would suggest buying some reference material. I read Dangerous Grains and just ordered Wheat Free/Worry Free. I just ordered the whole assortment of pocket guides to carry with me from Clan Thompson, so I will always have my reference info with me. That and continue to post and read here. And contact companys of items you use frequently and ask them if their products are gluten-free. I am finding that with the right research, you will find you can cont to eat most of the same foods. If you have a Whole Foods and Trader Joes' near you, you canbuy most things gluten free in their stores. I have to drive an hour and a half to get there but its worth it!

Good luck, you are in my prayers and stay in touch here. we care.

Well, my husb Dr called today and wants to do a biopsy and advised him to eat gluten again for the 2 weeks prior to the test. Why didn't he do the biopsy when he was 1st diagnosed? the only test my husb has had is the blood test.

Won't it be thrown off by eating gluten-free for the last month??

this what I recd today from the manufacturer. so by small trace , does that mean we cannot use??

I was always told that the secret to making any mozz sticks is to keep it frozen. frozen cheese will cook better and enable you to cook longer without the cheese melting out of the breading.

Some more ideas:

Healthy Choice & Weight Watchers have tons of gluten free heat up meals

Lisa

Which varities of the healthy Choice and WW entrees are gluten-free? I never would of thought there would be mainstream gluten-free items in the supermarket freezer.Great news!!

I really love the Tinkyada pastas I've tried but I've only seen lasagne, penne, spaghetti, fettucine, curls and elbow...I've not seen an egg-noodle type pasta from them. Do they make one, is there another brand that tastes good?

Oh I really hope someone replys back that yes there is a gluten-free egg noodles.....I know I can substitute Tinkyada pasta in place of noodles but it is not the same.

To be able to make chicken noodle soup again, and serve beef stroganoff over noodles again!!! I get sooo excited when I hear of these things!! I'll keep my fingers crossed.

I use this to add flavoring to gravy and sauces, just wondering if it is gluten-free?

I have not been able to find any high fiber CF cereal and i am not sure if there even is any. My husb needs the fiber due to Diviticulosis and used to eat Raisan brand every day. So, has any one found a high fiber cereal that is Gluten Free??

I usually make my own, I have made it in the crock pot before and I comes out wonderful and I have also made my own by frying. I will see if I can dig up one of the recipes for you.

But the pan fried one, you can add all your own vegtables and put in what your family likes vs. what they could do without. When I find those recipies, I will post them up to you.

Happy Cooking

Thanks minibabe, iIwould love the recipe if you can find it.

Whole Foods *should* sell gluten-free breadcrumbs; both of the ones near me sell 2 different kinds, I think. I bought a can, and I love it, and it stays crispy and doesn't absorb too much moisture. If I could remember the brand I'd tell you, but I forget!

mightymorg, you have made my day!!!! I couldn't believe how much I was missing bread crumbs!!

My family used to love chicken flavored Rice a Roni- but now that they need to be gluten-free, I can't find anything comparable. is there a brand that is gluten-free, or does anyone have a recipe to make from scatch?

Here is a list of Kens salad dressing that I just came across:

If posted a topic and indicated to send me email notifications of replys. I have not recd any emails informing me of replys even though there are currently 15. Any idea why this is not working?

Thank you everyone for the wonderful suggestions. I will compile a list of your favorites and take to the store with me. I will be sure to pick up the list of gluten-free items at the store. I am hoping to find things that I can't get at the local health food store. gluten-free crackers are hard to find, and gluten-free bread crumbs...impossible to find. I wonder if Whole Foods makes bread crumbs from any leftover stale bread??

I am planning to make my very first trip to "whole foods" in a few weeks. It is about a 1 & 1/2 hr drive, so its not likely I can make the trip often. To make the most of visit and since I am still so new at this gluten-free thing, I would like to try some of "your" favorites.

The Whole Foods website has a huge list of gluten-free items, and that is wonderful to have options again, but it can also be overwelming. Which one's should I try, any I should stay away from?

Does anyone know if Costco sells Gluten Free items?

Does anyone know if Robitussin "Honey Cough" natural cough drops with the honey center are gluten-free?
