    Aren't Arby's curly fries battered? That would account for why their homestyle fries would gluten someone. And the layered pasta dish you don't know how to spell or make? It's spelled la-sag-na. Do you know how long it took me to remember how to spell it? Silly italians and their funny letter combinations Here's the recipe I use...

    You could beat her with some medical journals, but I doubt that would help. If she wants to get better, or wants to look for a solution, she'll be receptive. All you can do is bring it up every once in a while (not enough to be obnoxious) and see if she bites.

    I may have to check out the book also, but for the time being, a daily prilosec is much better than stomach cancer. I don't have GERD, I have erosive gastritis. I clearly make too much acid and my stomach tries to eat itself, and long term irritation like that can cause cancer. Going gluten-free didn't help, if anything it got worse. Right now, for me, prilosec...

    *snif* I'd like to thank the academy... I really thought I had to have ADD or something, but I guess my goldfish attention span really is the result of brainfog! Erm, I guess being normal feels...normal? I'm also more systemizing and empathetic than the average population...what does that mean? At least I'm equal with the numbers at least...

    Conspiracy theories aside, nobody is forcing you to buy anything from them. I commend them for taking the fries of the gluten-free list. And for having a gluten-free list at all.

    I don't know if you're a Brit living in the states or not, but there is a lab here called enterolab that has a casein intolerance stool test. I don't know if they can do it internationally or not. Otherwise, you can do a challenge. Cut out all dairy and hidden dairy sources for a few weeks, and then take a couple of lactaids and drink a glass of milk...

    Milk and milk products are fine for Celiacs, provided they are neither lactose (milk sugar) intolerant or casein (milk protein) intolerant. Many, if not most, celiacs are lactose intolerant temporarily. Since the villi are damaged, lactase (the enzyme that digests lactose) cannot be produced by the tips of the villi in the small intestine. When a person is...

    Yes. I've always used it for baking cookies with excellent results. It's also really handy because you can "stage" your batches and not have to wait for your cookies to come out and cool before setting up another pan.

    Don't use wax paper because the wax melts off of it and ruins both your cookies and your cookie sheet. Use parchment paper instead, it's coated in silicone which does not melt.

    I use the almay intense i-color trio for brown eyes, although I think there are two versions, and one is darker than the other. I use the darker one and love it. I'm still young enough to care about cool makeup, so when I can I buy MAC (I'm also young enough to have a tiny paycheck ) Here's a recent post on MAC, all eyeshadows are gluten-free, except...

    Remember to eat at least the equivalent of 4 slices of bread a day! It takes that much for damage to show...

    Sorry, is there something wrong with saying that? Social aspect, definitely. Also, maybe a gluten-free mixology class, it would be fun anyway Dealing with celiac in college would be great too.

    After being gluten-free for 4 months, it's taken a week to truly feel crappy again eating a gluteny diet.

    I think the gelatin would help some with making it soft, since gelatin doesn't like to freeze very easily, and also to give at least some of the dairy free stuff more of a cream consistency, though I thought about that after posting and I imagine you could make the Vance's double strength. Here's a coconut avocado ice cream recipe I found over at allrecipes...

    If you can wrap your brain around it, you could do an avocado ice cream with the Vance's here's one that I found and modified, but I don't know how well it would work, it looks good on paper, anyway : 1 c. + 2 c. dari-free, 1/2 packet gelatin, 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 3 ripe avocados Take the avocados...

    There's not enough fat in the ice cream to make it soft and pliable like regular ice cream. Fat doesn't just taste good, it's got a job to do!

    Isn't this horse dead enough without beating it? If it makes you sick, don't eat it. McDonald's is not required to disclose allergens, since they are a restaurant, not a manufacturer. They don't fall under the umbrella of the labelling law, but they volunteered to disclose that information. The FDA also does not have regulations regarding what is "gluten...

    I've been a reactive hypoglycemic for 10 years or so, and when I get glutened, my blood sugar goes haywire. Definitely look into that!

    Holy cow, that's a lot for a relationship to go through! You're in good hands at the MD Anderson center. My boss' wife had multiple myleinoma and she's in full remission thanks to those folks and the stem cell treatment she got. It's a great center. Good luck with all of the gluten-free stuff! I'm glad he's improving some!!

    I reacted the same I do to gluten, foggy, stomach problems, etc. I make pizza every week, normally with chebe mix, but this one time I used Pamela's. I did everything else the same, just the mix was different. I react quickly to gluten.

    My dr put me on prilosec (another ppi) because of chronic stomach inflamation that caused a lot of burning pain in my stomach. I don't have GERD, an endoscopy showed that, but I do have chronic inflammation. It helps so much! Some people just make too much acid, regardless of whether or not it is refluxed. If it helps, great!

    I was just thinking earlier today that we hadn't seen you in a while!!! Welcome back!!!! And Molly, it's Hershey, right? They're one of our good, full disclosure companies

    Gargle with warm salt water and that will help swelling and inflammation and infection in the throat, and it needs to be a fairly strong solution. It's gross, but it works. Otherwise, hot toddy's are great: hot tea, whiskey, honey, and lemon Tastes like furniture polish, but I've never had anything work better!!!

    Sometimes you can psych yourself into a glutening, and think you're getting symptoms when you're not. I've done it. Especially when trying something new! I would trust Tyson, since they disclose, but I don't know anything about their cc practices. Most hams are gluten-free anyway, but you of course have to check. Good luck
