  1. Yeah, all you have to do is touch your face, then put your hand near your mouth and down the tube it goes. I would still try to avoid it if possible.
  2. Barbara's Corn Flakes with a handful of raisins. Or Envirokids Peanut butter flavored cereal. Kind of like Captain Crunch.
  3. Swedish Fish are gluten-free for sure!
  4. Since I can't have dairy - it will be Jelly Bellies for me! :-)
  5. Oh wait, I can't eat those. I am casein intolerant. :-(
  6. oh boo hoo. I am casein intolerant so no Kozy Shack pudding for me. Back to home made rice pudding.
  7. I can't eat Pamela's cookies - they hurt my stomach. I am casein intolerant - I think there is dairy in those. But they are GOOD. And I have had problems with Amy's products. I use Lindeburg's risotto, rice, rice cakes and rice chips, Barbara's cereals and Imagine soups, gluten-free Bagels from the health food store. Jelly Bellies and Cheetos are good...
  8. Well, since everyone here hasn't had a problem, maybe I will give Cheetos a whirl!
  9. Christine, I found out that roasted nuts are not gluten-free so I steer clear of those and eat only raw. But yes, when you are forced to do something, you either deal with it or let it get you down. I refuse to let this get the best of me. It is just the cards that were dealt to me and life goes on. I would rather have to control my diet than have...
  10. Steamed rice is fine at an Asian restaurant. Nothing is added to it. I don't know about Fried rice though, depends on whether or not they add soy sauce to it or what kind of oil they use or if they are using a wok that is contaminated. If you are allergic to eggs, then stay a way for sure, but I would still steer clear of it, personally. I went to Big...
  11. When I lived in Mexico for a few months, we use to go to the market after church at night and eat Arroz Con Leche (rice pudding) and enchiladas (yeah a weird mixture but sooooo good!) Anywho, since being diagnosed, I have been looking for some safe dessert alternatives and I have gone back to eating more Mexican food because their food is less bland and...
  12. Right, I feel I did my part to let them know and it is up to them now to decide what they want to do with the information. I can't wait till Easter to see how my mother will handle my food requirements. It will be the first major holiday for me. I have a contingency plan to bring my own stuff, if I find that my mom is getting too bent out of shape with...
  13. Thank you Patti for the information and thank you for the support. The message board has been so helpful to me! I think I will try to get the book, soon and pass it on to my family. My parents feel that since they are symptom free, there is no concern. I told them that one of them passed the gene to me and (dad has had polups in the colon, mom skin...
  14. Frustrated, yes. Sometimes bewildered. Angry, no.
  15. Thanks for the help! We are flying so bringing a cooler would be a pain, but I think I can improvise. Meanwhile I will have DH call the hotel and see if they can accomodate us. Thank you again! :-D
  16. Hi Patti, What is the name of Dr, Green's newest book? Yes, I am Dani s in DaniKali's step-mom. She has been really helpful with this whole gluten thing for me. I am no where as sick as she is with celiac disease. Right now we live about 1,000 miles away from each other but I hope she feels some sense of support from me on her difficult situation...
  17. I am going to be traveling in a couple of weeks. I was wondering if anyone has requested prior to arriving to get a small fridge for the room because of celiac disease? How cooperative have the hotels been? Do they charge you extra for this? I was wondering because I would like to eat out as little as possible. Thanks!
  18. Hi all - I will be vacationing in Orange County within the next couple of weeks. Can anyone tell me where I can pick up some gluten-free grocery items to snack on while I am out there? Hotel room doesn't have a fridge. Thanks!
  19. I didn't know there was such a magazine. Wow! I went to www.glutenfreeliving.com website and ordered it! It looks VERY helpful. Just like these boards! Thank you! :-D
  20. My Rheumatologist couldn't really specifically say that I have RA after my RA factor and inflammatory numbers started going down after several blood tests. But she said I have some sort of auto-immune problem for sure. And that was that. Couldn't really help me much more. But quite mysterous because why do I feel so bad and what is going on that is causing...
  21. I will never, ever eat anything by Quaker Oats ever again. When I called them, they were specific about not being able to guarantee any of their products are safe from cross-contamination. And that was the BIGGIE for me. I noticed that I wasn't feeling better after being diagnosed and going gluten-free. Apparently, I was glutened by their rice cakes sis...
  22. I am a newbie (about a month into it) and I agree too. In the beginning it was hard. I was use to eating bagels for breakfast, a sandwich for lunch and spaghetti for dinner with a roll. I am casein sensitive so eliminating cheese and chocolate was extremely difficult. Looking for satisfying substitutes was really a challenge. But this website has...
  23. I am afraid because I ate Fritos and had problems
  24. If you go to the Celiac Sprue website, they have an analysis of the Mc D fries so you can make your own decision.
  25. Mine is below the belly button. It feels like the intestines are folding over in half. Like a piece of paper getting folded in half.
