Fear not the KitchenAid! It's a tank, and unless you're making something really stiff or making meraingue, you don't have to go above a 3.

Making cookies is heavenly with the mixer!

You can brine a brisket yourself to avoid nitrates and what not. The Martha Stewart recipe already posted would work, as would this one by Open Original Shared Link

I don't think the symantics matter too much, either way the treatment is the same.

I think there is more of a social stigma with the term "disease" because it sounds tainted and contagious. Using words like "syndrome" or "condition" are a politically correct way to trivialize the problem.

Actually, when you think about it, Celiac is more of a disorder.

Or it's a good excuse to use a thesaurus

Gotta keep those linguists employed

I got badly glutened by Kettle Chips. It was my first glutening, actually. I've also been glutened by Bob's Red Mill so I don't eat anything by that company either.

A lot of Lay's products are gluten-free. I miss the kettle chips, they were good, but not good enough to suffer like I did to eat them

I haven't had a problem with either- other than that they are dangerously cheesy

The cheetos aren't the only things that are dangerously cheesy

If it's cheese you're looking for, other than the orange cheeto variety, the smart_______ (sorry, brain fart) white cheddar popcorn is excellent! It's lay's, but I've had zero problems. I can eat a bag all by myself if I'm not careful

Did you ever see that episode of Sex and the City where Samantha was diagnosed with breast cancer and she was on a huge waiting list for the good oncologist? And how she and a nun waited there every day to get an appointment?

Maybe you can learn something from that. Go in one day when they open, and study in their waiting room for the day. The other 38 people on the list would a) have to be available and B ) have to get there in time. Not everybody gives the req'd 24 hour cancellation notice. Worth a shot, especially if you're missing class anyway...

The friend finally came to town (as I was going out of town, of course), 10 days late. Boo. Back on the pill though, thanks for the responses!

I read that late onset menstruation can be a side affect of celiac, I was two days before my 14th birthday. Hmm, wonder if that was related...interesting

I generally poach mine with water, white wine, a few cloves of garlic, dill, and lemon. I'm sure I use salt, too. I make a hollandaise sauce to go with it and roast asparagus to go with it, YUM!

If I were to do it in a pouch, I would lay out a large piece of foil and kind of cup it from the get go to keep liquid in. I would lay the salmon on a bed of citrus slices (lemon, orange, lime, etc) and pour a little white wine over it for moisture and flavor. I'd also add some fresh dill (sure, like I don't use dry, but this is theory ) and peppercorns.

Bake at 400ish for 20ish minutes...

That may work

And I highly reccommend the asparagus with it.... Heat the broiler, lay out spears on a cookie sheet lined with parchment, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, and place under the broiler for about 5-7 mins, if you have fat spears, turn them halfway through and cook longer. Once they're done (the tips of the spears should be nice and toasty and nutty), squeeze some lemon juice over it and enjoy!

Oo! Oo! Oo! That was me looking for a cornbread recipe! I had found one, but I wasn't nuts about it (and I made a poor, apparently cc'd choice in cornmeal )

Thanks!

I'm going to make some tonight with my hopefully safe Hodgson Mill cornmeal

I made brownies with the gluten-free baking mix from Bob's Red Mill and reacted to them. I generally stay away from them now

The water drinking is the one thing I know I should do, but I just don't end up drinking enough--any tips, or just 'do it'?

Get a 32 oz. Nalgene bottle and fill that and keep it at your desk. I drink 2-4 a day at work because of it. Also, drink a big glass of water before you eat or drink anything else in the morning and it helps.

I tend to like community coffee, if nothing else because I'm supporting louisiana in the process. It's also darn good coffee! The chickory adds another dimension of flavor. It's hard to find outside the south, though. You can order it online, also. Open Original Shared Link

What I noticed about my gastro was that since I wasn't in the right demographic for needing a gastroenterologist (ie: senior citizen), I was usually brushed off. They thought I was a hypochondriac, or drank too much at college, or some other thing. They never returned my calls when the drugs didn't work. The dr never even saw me, just his nurse, and when he did the endo, I never saw him when I wasn't drugged!

There was only one gastro practice in the whole region (4 docs) and they wouldn't let me see another doc, and when I went to GP's about it out of frustration, they wouldn't touch my case, since the gi doc had me. It was circular and frustrating.

Demand that you be seen sooner! That is total BS, complete and total BS.

It's really no biggie. The worst part for me was the stuff they sprayed in my throat, because it smelled and tasted awful. They're likely to use versed on you, so you'll technically be consious during the procedure, but you won't know it. You don't feel or remember anything. You'll probably say some really loopy stuff during your stay in dreamland I know I did...

Make sure your Dr. either writes down what he needs to say to you, or that your husband pays really close attention. I don't have a clue about what the dr said to me after, because the versed hadn't worn off completely yet. I barely remember going home! I couldn't pick my dr out of a lineup because I only ever saw his nurse before or after the procedure

Good luck! It's really not a big deal at all, I didn't even have a sore throat.

Vary your diet do that it's a little more balanced. Eat veggies and fruits peeled and cooked thuroughly so that they're easier to digest like the SCD folks do.

Eat the gentler ones like pears, peaches, carrots, sweet potatoes, very well cooked broccoli, etc.

Hope you feel better

I've heard that Quaker products are no longer safe. I also got sick from Bob's Red Mill (why do they label that stuff as gluten-free anyway?). There are some cornbread recipes in some of the gluten-free cookbooks. Do you have any of those?

I've got the cornbread recipe, I just can't find ANY EFFING CORNMEAL!!!!!!!!

this is so frustrating!!!!!!!!

(sorry Carrie, I didn't mean to make that sound angry at you)

I got glutened by contaminated store brand cornmeal last night...

It was a bad glutening too, so that was no fun. I just bought some Quaker cornmeal (in a little canister looking thing). I want to make cornbread again, cause I'm really jonesing for it.

Does anyone know if it's gluten-free? If it isn't, does anyone know of a brand that is?

The only other ones I've seen are Bob's Red Mill (got sick from their "gluten-free" baking mix so I don't trust them) and Aunt Jemima (which is Quaker anyway).

Please help

Cook's is gluten-free and can be found at Sam's Club. I make corned beef and cabbage all the time with no ill effects (yes, i use the seasoning packet)

ENJOY!!

I know exactly what you mean! On day 2 of being gluten free, I had to travel 8 hours to see my sick grandfather. My family didn't have a clue until I got there, but I told them, but didn't make a big deal out of it. We were all in the hospital so I lived on mashed potatoes and bananas for a few days. Just stick to plain foods and you won't be a burden to anyone. It's a disease, they should be able to understand.

And for heaven's sake, be completely gluten-free or you'll be sick too, and you'll be more of a burden, not a help.

Sorry about the family situation, hang in there!

what is "Asian market" ? Is it a chain store?

Noooooooo...it's an ethnic store, where people of the asian persuasion go to buy ethnic foods

Definitely a place where you need to read the fine print, thank goodness for the FDA and their labeling requirements!

Thanks for the great rice pudding recipe. But what is Arborio rice? Can I use regular rice?

Arborio rice is risotto rice, you could probably use regular rice, but it wouldn't be as creamy....

I saw this on the food network, I imagine you can substitute soy or coconut milk for it (I think coconut milk has a higher fat content which would be good for this)

Open Original Shared Link

1 cup water

Pinch salt

1/2 tablespoon butter

1/2 cup Arborio rice

2 cups whole milk

4 tablespoons sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Few dashes ground cinnamon

Whipped cream, for serving

Bring water, salt, and butter to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add the rice, return to a boil, and then reduce the heat to the lowest setting. Shake the pan occasionally and cook until rice has absorbed the water but it still al dente, about 15 minutes.

Bring milk, sugar, vanilla, and a few dashes of cinnamon to a simmer in a separate saucepan. Add the cooked rice and cook at a simmer over medium-low heat until rice absorbs most of the milk and mixture starts to get thick and silky, about 10 to 15 minutes.

Transfer pudding to a large bowl and cool to room temperature. Place in refrigerator until cool and set. Serve with whipped cream and a dash more cinnamon

That is good to know....I am very scared to attempt any baking. I just look at my new flours and just close the cupboard and walk away. Kind of a waste of money, I had better look into this....

I haven't really baked either, I've made gluten-free cornbread, and gluten-free brownies. Both were good, both were contaminated. I'm having brand problems. Bob's Red Mill and store brand cornmeal, 'nuff said.

I'm really hoping that my extraordinary talent for baking will translate to gluten-free. I'm also cheap, so I'm just now buying the flours.

Oh wow! I'm humbled and honored that I inspired such creativity! I'm going to have to try this one myself! Thanks!

DH was looking at me poring over mixing spices and thought I was nuts

He liked it though!

Thanks for letting us know about the potato flakes
