    I apologize for the utter nastiness of this question in advance. So I had to run to the b-room at work, again. When I was done, I saw that it looked like I had a couple of normals looking stools, except that they were floating. Imagine my horror that when I flushed, I saw that the "normals" were like, 85% mucus. EEEWWWW. I feel like there must be...

    Quaker makes some of the cereals you mention, and they don't consider ANY of their products to be gluten-free. At all. Period. That includes rice cakes. It's because oats are grown in the same fields, transported in the same trucks, and stored in the same silos that gluten containing grains are. Here is a statement from their oatmeal FAQ: Malt...

    Jif is gluten-free, and so is skippy. Yes, you can eat normal peanut butter. I don't think I've ever seen a peanut butter with gluten, actually, but always read labels. Don't share pb containers with anyone else, because those containers get contaminated with bread crumbs.

    I may be a super taster, but I can't smell a damn thing. I think my olfactory glands are damaged from having grotesquely huge adenoids in an already too small sinus cavity. I've always figured my sense of taste is stronger to make up for my lack of sense of smell I know that if I can't smell well, I shouldn't be able to taste well, but I wouldn't be such...

    Oh, you just need the chicken & gravy part? Well that's easy enough! It takes a while but is easy. I guess you could easily do it in a slow cooker. Just dump everything in and leave it alone until you need to make the gravy. I'm going to have to try that! CHICKEN GRAVY 1 whole chicken or 3 bone in chicken breasts with skin (my mom uses whole...

    I'm sorry you're going through so much with your husband. FWIW, my dad was an alcoholic sociopath. I say that as nicely as I can because he was a good man with a poor upbringing and psychological problems. He self medicated since he was a teenager. When I was about 9 months old, my mom talked to his psychologist and he said that he would not be able to...

    I have this problem mainly on gluten. Right now for example, I don't know why I bother eating fruits and vegetables. It's like anything with a cell wall goes right through me undigested. I had asparagus come out whole and I SWEAR I chewed more than that! I had a chunk of blueberry muffin go through practically unscathed the other day It's totally gross...

    What's your old chicken biscuit recipe? Maybe we can modify it As for fried okra (yum!), I'm modifying a recipe from Paula Deen, as she is the perfect Southern cook Open Original Shared Link FRIED OKRA 6 cups oil, for frying 1/2 cup cornmeal 1 cup flour blend 2 teaspoons garlic salt/lemon pepper 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper ...

    Yeah! Half-moons were the best! I thinkthe rest of the state calls them black and white cookies, how lame How cool that you were born in Syracuse! Jersey and I even went to the same high school at different times and had at least one teacher in common I think if you cook up the sausage and remove it then follow the same method...

    I'm glad you liked it It's a family favorite and is great for poor college students Did you have it with apple sauce? The apple sauce is essential, IMO.

    I guess you're not from the South When we lived in Syracuse and my friends would ask me what I had for dinner and if I said chicken fried steak, I got met with a Same goes for ham hocks and beans, biscuits and gravy....I'm a yank raised by southerners, I'm definitely southern

    Yeah, it's that whole thing like, "well you don't look sick" or "if you've had this for a long time, how come you weren't sick all the time?" Well, you're not with me in the bathroom, now are you? I had a friend say that to me who had seen me in bed, writhing in pain, going to the emergency room, all the time.

    Yup! You know how some breeds of dogs recognize eachother as being the same breed? (I'm thinking of pugs) We're a lot like that

    I'll say this and then I'm done - I think I can safely say that most people on here have tried damn near everything to feel better. Celiac Disease takes an average of 11 years to diagnose. That's 11 years of deterioration and suffering due to a lack of knowledge from the medical community. Most of that stems from the fact that up until a few years...

    How cool! Cinnanella...that's so cute!

    Let me get one thing straight - I am not anti-alternative medicine. I've had the medical community fail me many times and I was brought up to use homeopathic methods first, and go to drs and take meds only when absolutely necessary. As an example, I have had saline in more cavities more times than I wish to recount. Well known alternative medicine doctors...

    It's a sure sign that an argument is deteriorating when you're criticizing the spelling, semantics, and grammar of another person in the discussion. I also didn't quote a paragraph from curezone, that was 2kids4me. I read the article that YOU YOURSELF provided, and discussed that. Sorry, I thought I was making an intelligent argument there. It's incredibly...

    Well, I know Tiffany is going to a good doctor, because she's going to my doctor Now, knowing her, she'll probably look at the results and your dietary response and dx you celiac. At least gluten intolerance. I'm not sure she even sees them as different. I didn't even have enterolab done and she dx'ed me on dietary response and a high IgG alone. I...

    Is this the interview you're talking about? Open Original Shared Link It was aired June 16th of this year. Correct me if that's not the one, but it certainly sounds like what you described. I guess I'm in·ter·pret·ing that differently. The cat is sniffing the beer bottle, not drinking beer.

    Oh joy, diarrhea for two days. That's exciting! And certainly not a daily occurance in MANY MANY celiacs. I will make the statement again, don't go screwing up your body even more if your body is already screwed up. Celiacs don't need to do anything more to their already messed up digestive systems. JMHO.

    Yeah, I think any starch will do, I just had corn starch on hand. You could use tapioca, I don't, because I'm a bit sensitive to it. I don't see why more potato starch wouldn't work

    I haven't made chicken-fried steak (DH's favorite meal) since January, before I was gluten-free. Needing iron desperately coupled with desperately needing to buy some meat at Sam's, the time had come for me to use up some cube steaks I had kicking around my freezer. I have been deathly afraid of making chicken-fried steak gluten-free. I didn't want...

    I'm a supertaster apparently, but I like all the foods that they said I wouldn't as a supertaster. Go figure I think that test had more to do with food snobbery than tasting food I don't think it's related to the metallic thing, I don't know what that's about.

    For how long? I have them all over the back of my left hand

    I make that too! I usually make it in a 3 day series of tomato sauce things (I always make my sauce and it makes a bunch) Day 1: Spaghetti Day 2: chicken parmesan (I use an egg instead of the butter mixture, italian seasoning in the breadcrumbs, and pan fry a bit first, and at the end of baking, I smother it in sauce and mozzarella. YUM!) ...
