    I'm slow in replying, but I have to say that I think SPIN pizza is amazing. If you join their promotional program you can buy two pizzas and get one free every Monday. We ordered two gluten free pizzas and one regular with drinks and it was only about $30. I love Waldo, but it can get pricey. I took the extra pizza home with the intention of freezing...

    Happy birthday and may God bless you tiday!

    I haven't been on the boards in a really long time so someone may have already shared this, but there are now a few more places to order gluten free pizza in Kansas City. Pizza Fusion on 135th street has gourmet pizza, and offers a large gluten free version. It is extremely pricey (about $25+ for a large), but good. The time I visited we found the service...

    I've been wondering about this as well. Our baby is due any day now (actually is 9 days late as of today..) and I have been trying to find information while I wait. Would a baby react differently to gluten than an adult? And would it be an instant reaction or would it take the baby awhile to develop problems? I am very nervous about introducing gluten...

    So I am due on the 17th, and getting pretty excited about baby. A few weeks ago it occured to me that it would be smart to start freezing back some gluten-free meals for the first few months so I have been going crazy cooking on the weekends. This past Saturday I got up at 6:00 am and cooked the entire day, I think I have about 2 months worth of food made...

    I have to brag on my mother in law a bit. I have posted before about so many frustrations with people not being very sensitive about the diet that I thought I should balance it out with a good story. My MIL is the one who went with me when I traveled to a natural healing center where the doctor first told me about celiac. So she has been there from...

    The ovulation kit I used had enough to test for 15 days I think, but I bought a number of them and used it nearly ever day for a few cycles to confirm that I really wasn't ovulating. My instructions were to use it first thing in the morning. Once I took Clomid, I had a light line one day and a really dark line the next- which happens to be the day we concieved...

    I have been craving gluten as well, basically all the unhealthy stuff I shouldn't be eating. The funny thing is I have had really vivid pregnancy dreams about eating gluten nearly every night, only I can never follow through. In the dream I will be at a restaurant and will have my mouth full of a fresh, warm, gooey roll and will be chewing it in ecstasy...

    I am hosting a girl's night tomorrow and need a quick, easy menu. I had been planning on just going to the deli and getting a chicken, potato salad and some fruit when I remembered one of my friends is vegan. I would like to have enough sides for her to eat a decent meal but because I am 8-1/2 months pregnant and it is 1000 degrees outside, I would rather...

    I have never been regular my entire life so when it was time to concieve it was very frustrating. My cycles were just all over the place. I finally started using an ovulation prediction kit and discovered after a few months that I wasn't even ovulating. Eventually we decided to try Clomid and one cycle did the trick. I know it isn't for everyone but if...

    I'm guessing it has more to do with pregnancy than celiac. My doctor said to take Colace, so you might ask your doctor if he would be okay with that. 7 days sounds like quite awhile to me, I know I would be miserable if I were that backed up!

    I use the baking mix, I think... the one for pancakes. And I used 3-1/2 cups. Otherwise I still added the baking soda that the recipe called for but I omitted the extra salt, and it turned out great. I wish I had some right now!

    If you like pumpkin bread, go to allrecipes.com and search for 'Super Moist Pumpkin Bread'. I make it with Pamela's flour and it is SOOOOO good. It makes two large loaves, so I have always intended to freeze one but usually eat it all up before then.

    I use Pamela's Baking & Pancake mix for everything and I love it! From pumpkin bread to fried okra- it's my go to flour. It also makes pancakes so good you can't tell they are gluten free. I am sure I could make up a comparable mix but I am too lazy.

    A February baby sounds nice to me right now. I don't know what I was thinking with this baby due in September- it is going to be a huge and hot few summer months!!

    I had the unfortunate experience of having to make a trip to L&D a few weeks ago but the good thing is I feel better about the food. The nurses were actually quite knowledgable and brought me pudding cups that were marked gluten free, and a salad with chicken- which they informed me had no crotons and the chicken was not marinated in soy! I was surprised...

    I really do feel for you, I was in your shoes exactly a few months ago. And it was made even more difficult by the fact I was trying to keep the pregnancy a secret at work and was running to the bathroom all morning. I posted here then and I had a lot of good suggestions of what to eat, the thing that helped the most was drinking a ton of Gatorade and Boost...

    I actually ate the cream of rice plain, I may be a weirdo but I love it plain with just a bit of milk. My friend also failed the one hour test by eating a banana beforehand- you would think they would warn people about that and save them the headache of the 3 hour!!! I have heard from quite a few people now that it isn't entirely uncommon to fail the...

    Any baby news yet? You must be close!! It looks like there will be lots of babies in February!

    I am nearly 29 weeks and just got a call that I failed my glucose test. I was really careful leading up to it, all I had for breakfast was Cream of Rice and then my test was at 11:30!! So, now I have to do the 3 hour fasting test and I am nervous for it. I'm just not sure that I can handle two special diets along with this constant morning sickness. I...

    Glutino makes a cheese bread that is pretty good. I buy it at <www.gluten free.com>. I microwave it with some butter and it is fairly soft, still a little dry compared to regular bread but definitely more edible than many others I have tried. I am lucky to live in Kansas City where I can buy bread from Olivia's Oven at our local Hy-Vee. Not sure...

    I can't really imagine being pregnant with undiagnosed celiac! I have been sick enough without gluten, so I am thinking this will be a boy.

    Seems like there are an awful lot of us pregnant ladies on the boards lately, I was just curious how many of us there are. Just for fun I thought everyone could share their due date, what # this is, and if celiac has affected the pregnancy thus far and how... and any other fun stuff you feel like sharing? I'll start.... This is our first, I am due mid...

    I too was really worried about nutrition, I have had horrible nausea the entire time and felt my diet wasn't measuring up to what I should be eating. My doctor reassures me that the baby will get what they need regardless and a lot of the advice given to pregnant women ends up scaring them more than helping. She said the biggest thing is to make SURE that...

    I just ordered some Ivory Teff Wraps made by La Tortilla Factory. I made a wrap with it and they were quite good. They are a larger size and very pliable. Of course, I had to stick the rest in the freezer so who knows how good they will be next time but so far they are a great substitue for flour tortillas.
