    My husband loves fresh baked (gluten-containing) bread from his breadmaker. Because I'm incredibly paranoid about CC, I make him take the loaf pan and the sealed container of flour out on the porch to empty the flour into the loaf pan. He then seals the flour container up and carefully carries the loaf pan (now containing flour and without a lid) inside and...

    I guess for the most part, I've stopped trying to replace dairy and have looked for other options. For example, I used to eat egg whites with a slice of rice or soy cheese crumbled on top. Now I add spinach and Johnny's cajun seasoning to them. I actually like them better this way. If any recipe calls for cheese, I just skip adding any sort of cheese...

    I've noticed that most Great Value products that you would hope would be gluten-free (like diced tomatoes, etc.) now say "Gluten-free" on the label, under the nutritional info. I have a couple older cans of the exact same product that have been in my pantry for a while that don't say that. I'm assuming it's a new thing and not that they randomly changed the...

    On top of dairy and gluten being a huge bloat-producers for me, too much fat also makes my stomach bloat right up. Just a thought.

    Thanks, everyone. I will try to get my NP to do it and if they say they need something from an MD, I'll go that route.

    I missed several days of class last month due to being glutened accidentally. Because it was a one-month summer class, my grade was severely hurt by missing class, even though I told my professor why I was gone. To prevent this in the future, he suggested I "register" my "disability" with disability services at the university so they have it on record...

    This board has been a lifesaver. One of the biggest things I learned was CC issues and how to get hubby to be more careful (I use the rat poison analogy all the time now!) Big thanks to everyone that has helped!

    Just wanted to add that I had a reaction to this (I think) and it could only be the chipotle chile in adobo sauce, so if anyone is going to try this (it's really good), make sure to verify your brand of chipotle chile in adobo sauce is gluten-free. The brand I reacted to was La Costena.

    Zatarain's is really good - my husband and I used to eat those before I went gluten-free. Their red beans & rice and dirty rice are my favorites, but they're NOT gluten-free. Thank goodness the jambalaya is though!

    I made a chili with chipotle chile in adobo sauce as an ingredient on Tuesday and felt ok on Tuesday. If it's gluten, I usually react within 36 hours. On Wednesday I felt so-so - my stomach was a little bloated, but I didn't look pregnant. Since Thursday I've felt awful and looked pregnant. I couldn't verify whether the brand I used (La Costena) was...

    We use either Era or Cheer, both of which I do fine with.

    I think people assume I have an eating disorder when I tell them the things I can't eat. I've gotten the "just have a salad" excuse, too, but it's harder for me since I'm so sensitive to fats - I can't have any dressing, so what am I supposed to do, pay $8 for lettuce and tomatoes that probably has crouton crumbs on it? No thanks.

    Sorry for the delay! I use Pace, but we've used Old El Paso in the past before I went gluten-free. I'm not sure if Old El Paso is gluten-free or not.

    This was really good & unique. I used 99% fat-free ground turkey instead of beef and I omitted the cheese, green onions and sour cream garnishes. I thought this was going to be very spicy, but it wasn't at all. In fact, if you like spicy things, you might want to seriously up the chili powder.

    Thanks for the clarification. What a nightmare this celiac related stuff is!

    I'd never heard of one growing back, but I know tonsils can, so it seems possible. I'm not sure if I'm celiac or not, but like you, I know I am gluten and casein intolerant. I had a colonoscopy done last summer and it showed no damage, but this was before my symptoms got really, really bad, so maybe the damage occured between then and April, not that it...

    I was under the impression that the reason you become allergic to foods you eat often is because you have leaky gut syndrome. If you are tested and treated for it, it's not longer a problem. Am I mistaken?

    Thanks so much!!! I'll buy some when we get our next paychecks!

    Enchilada Casserole 1 jar red enchilada sauce 1 can black beans, rinsed and drained 1 can fat-free refried beans 4-6 cups cooked rice salsa to taste chili powder to taste 1. Dump first 3 ingredients into a 9x13 pan and mix together. Add rice a little at a time, mixing with the wet sauce until you get the desired consistency. (I like mine with...

    It seems pretty pricey - $25 for 6 #. Is there anything I could use instead? (Bette Hagman's 4 flour blend calls for it...)

    Glad you all think you might like it! I highly recommend this one!

    I made several substitutions. I baked my chicken in the oven and then cut it up and set it aside. I only used about 2 tsp. of EVOO and I used frozen chopped white onion. I used shiraz, which isn't really dry, and I added a bunch of spinach. I found that after cooking it for the time she recommends, the potatoes weren't cooked through. So I put it on low...

    What's even worse (for me, at least) are the people that think they know what celiac is, rather than the people that are honest that they know nothing about it. I was at the dentist last week and my hygenist claimed she didn't eat gluten. When I told her I needed to see the ingredients for the tooth polish, she said: "I promise you there is no gluten...

    My reactions to dairy and too much fat are pretty much the same as gluten, except they last a few days rather than a whole week. I started feeling bad yesterday (lots of stomach pain and spasms and some bloating), but it hasn't been a full reaction like it always is when I get glutened (or accidentally consume dairy or fat). Could it be something else...

    Yep, I echo that it's easy to gain weight if you're eating all gluten imitation products. I believe Ener-G brand makes english muffins that are 400 calories and 19 grams of fat per muffin! Practically anyone would gain weight eating that crap! You're not going to gain weight eating fresh fruits, vegetables and lean meats. Try that for a while. How...
