    Secret agent Chef Penguin reporting for duty!

    During class today, my chef instructor told us all an interesting tip for keeping held scrambled eggs from turning to rubber while keeping them at the required temperature for keeping held eggs. Add in some bechamel sauce. As you may or may not know, bechamel sauce is made from a roux of butter and flour. Wheat flour. Thought I'd let you...

    Here's a secret my ob/gyn told me: Seasonale is Mircette packaged differently. If your doctor allows it, you can take off your patch after 3 weeks and then immediately put on another one, and repeat the process for 3 cycles. As long as you have a constant flow of hormones, you won't get your "period" You don't get a real period on bcp's, you get withdrawl...

    That depends on how bad your malabsorption is, but I always had the pill work whenever I was on it. As in, I didn't have any babies I certainly absorbed enough of it to get the side effects!

    The only gluteny part of nearly any gumbo recipe is the roux, so substitute accordingly. a roux is: 1 part flour to 1 part butter Melt the butter over medium heat and whisk in the flour, cook, stirring constantly, around 3 minutes or so until you have a hot bubbly paste. Add liquid as called for by the recipe and you're in business...

    I make roux all the time with my standard blend: rice, potato, and cornstarch. It works beautifully every time. That's awesome about Drew Brees though!

    Yes - untreated autoimmune disorders can lead to others. For example, I have gluten intolerance and Crohn's Disease.
  10. penguin
    Yeah, I'm so looking forward to those infusions! At least it's not a pill everyday, right?
  11. penguin
    Thank you!
  12. penguin
    I'm sorry, but at least you found out while he's still young and his habits aren't set in stone!
  13. penguin
    Yes! I'm in 3 pairs of socks, pj pants, a sweatshirt, and a quilt. Stupid shoddy Texas insulation. At least I got my birthday off of work Yeah, I had D that wouldn't go away entirely even on a gluten-free diet, and I started getting a burning feeling in my intestine just under my navel, and I went through a couple weeks where I couldn't...

    Hi all! Yeah, yeah, I've been conspicuoulsy absent but we won't discuss that, now will we. First update: Yes, I definitely have Crohn's Disease. The colonoscopy (boy, that was fun!) showed the tell tale lesions of Crohn's on my ilium, although biopsies did not show the particular cells that are the gold-standard for diagnosis. The doc had me gene...
  15. penguin
    Good luck, Molly!
  16. penguin
    Awww. That sucks, sorry Yes, Crohn's is official official. They didn't find whatever epithelial cells were supposed to be on the lesions that are on my ilium, but dr sent off a gene test for it to prometheus and I had the gene and "enzyme activity" whatever that means. At any rate, I appear to be fairly classic, and my insurance just approved the Remicade...

    If all else fails, there is always Konsyl (what my doctor reccommends), Metamucil (except the wafers), and benefiber

    Drive By: Holy crap this thread is still going?!?!

    I use Dove Shape and Definition mousse on my hair. Dove is a unilever company and they clearly label gluten.

    Welcome and hi, you've never seen me before but I used to be around a lot. I may be opinionated and snarky at times, but I'm truly always trying to help!
  21. penguin
    Me neither. It's always corn, potato, or cellulose. Wheat flour MUST BE COOKED before consuming. Also, gluten is very sticky when moist, which would defeat the purpose of dusting shredded cheese to keep it from clumping together.

    (Hi everyone! Haven't been around in a while) I come back to us worrying about what we wipe our butts with!? Oh for crying out loud. I obviously haven't read the whole thread, but I did see where some hard facts were posted and I'm glad for that. It's stuff like this that starts those funky celiac urban legends
  23. penguin
    I hope they get it all figured out for you...so...um...can you eat dairy again? What kind of dietary restrictions are you dealing with now (sorry for being too lazy to read...)
  24. penguin
    Drive by!!! Rachel - Lyme? Really? Are you feeling better? Sorry, I don't have time to read 200 pages!
  25. penguin
