    Last time I took it, in March I think, it was gluten-free. Also, your dr may want you to try OTC stuff first. It irritates the hell out of me so I lied and said I already did the monistat thing. Just a heads up if your dr. works the same way that mine does

    I definitely reccommend buying one package and trying it before committing to 6...I personally think the Pamela's bread tastes gross with a wierd texture

    I get three types of pain: I get pain like you describe, the balloon feeling, and for me it's gas. I take phazyme when that happens and it works wonders. The second type of pain is a burning in my stomach, which is usually because of too much acid and not enough food. The third type of pain, the bain of my existance, is what I call the "crunching pain...

    Haha, I felt the same way, here's an excerpt from my blog the day I was dx'ed: It gets better...and yes, homemade is MUCH TASTIER than store bought. Actually, most of the stuff I bought turned out to be pretty tasty. Except for the brown rice crackers...those were nasty. Ashley - What are the things you eat all the time and are sick of?

    Yeah, I had wondered about that one, too. But, since I've never bought non-dairy ice cream, I didn't know... Hopefully it's a misprint!!! YUP! Here's the ingredients for the cookies & dream: Ingredients: Filtered water, organic brown rice (partially milled), expeller pressed high oleic safflower oil, tapioca starch, chocolate cookies...

    ARCHIVED Where Do You Eat?

    penguin replied to a topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    DH and I determined (after many tries eating out) that I have about a 1 in 3 chance of getting sick from eating out. I eat at PF Chang's (only got sick once), outback (not the location that glutened me), and most american places that aren't a chain. My favorites that I can always count on not to make me sick: Chick fil A - grilled chicken salad and/or...

    Thanks for that...even if there is some gluten left, covering it with a tarp or blanket or something should minimize exposure...

    I have an announcement: THE GLUTEN CHALLENGE IS OVER!!!! Praise God! The tooth fairy! Santa Claus! The Pillsbury Doughboy! Funny thing is that right now I'm so preoccupied with weight watchers that I'm barely noticing the gluten-free thing. DH had to remind me to read labels in the store, although everything I picked up is in my gluten-free...

    Quaker reccommends that all celiacs avoid their products. How lame, Quaker, you aren't my friend! You may want to try corn thins...I prefer them to rice cakes...they're made by Real Foods, and they're much less akward for "sandwiches"

    Hi Morgan Drive by before I go back to bed: HIIII!!! Back to gluten-free and onto WW tomorrow! YAY!!!

    I'm gluten-free, but I'm so glad I don't have to give up marshmallows! MMMMMMMM

    My experience with farming is limited to seeing 4H demos at the fair, but... shouldn't most of the gluten be processed out of it when the grain is taken from the stalk? The gluten isn't in the stalk, right? I realize a lot of the dust will still be kicking around, but it's not as bad as frolicking in an about-to-be-harvested wheat field, right?

    NSAIDS are things like asprin, motrin, advil, pepto-bismol, excedrin, and other antinflammatories. If you look on the bottle, there's usually a warning about ulcers and abdominal bleeding

    I'm sure your dr already answered this, but they put warnings like that on OTC meds so that so that people don't self-diagnose when they have something life threatening going on. Your dr. told you to take it, so you can disregard the bit about weight loss. Also, prilosec is used for gastritis as well as reflux and heartburn. The burning stomach you describe...

    It should be easy enough to do WW gluten-free, luckily things like Tinkyada pasta are about the same points as regular pasta, and I just gotta eat healthy, no biggie. Gotta get these 30 lbs. I gained on the effin' gluten challenge Oh, I believe pop secret is gluten-free. It's made by general mills, so any gluten will be clearly labelled. EGD's...

    I read an article recently saying that the gluten-free market was set to boom (along with the rest of the food industry) within the next few years. The culinary school I'm enrolled in thought enough of the potential of the gluten-free lifestyle to accomodate me

    I had my biopsy this morning, so I'm home resting and not driving or making any legal decisions It went as well as could be expected, the last thing I remember is my doctor rubbing my arm and saying something along the lines of "are you ready?" and the first thing I remember upon waking is that I'd NEVER be able to remember what he said happened when...

    I'm a BIG FAN of phazyme. Two of those and you'll be chock full of relief Beware though - relief comes at both ends

    With Chron's and Colitis, the white blood cell count is usually out of whack as well as having antibodies. Not to mention with those there is generally blood involved, and for celiacs that doesn't happen as much. In spite of all my symptoms, nobody has suggested chron's or colitis because my CBC didn't match up, and I didn't have the "right" kind of pain...
