    Having the gluten-free diet being trendy is like having a peanut allergy diet being trendy. It makes no sense! I'm afraid that if it becomes the next fad diet, restaurants and brands will become less careful about cc and whatnot. Most people aren't going to get sick from ingesting gluten. It'll be a lot harder to be taken seriously. Not to...

    Popcorn is just plain hard on some people's stomachs. It's sharp and pointy! Add a bunch of fat and oils to that and if you have a sensitive stomach, BAM! And at movies especially, we tend to overeat the popcorn.

    My IgG was the only one elevated, and I was dx'ed by that and dietary response. My Dr. didn't feel the biopsy was necessary. Positive dietary response is valid! Especially if there is a family history... As far as the other conditions related to a high IgG, what are they? I can't find a listing anywhere, except maybe Chron's.

    Hershey plainly labels gluten-containing ingredents. If it doesn't say wheat, barley, rye, or oats, you're ok. As far as I knew, the only gluteny reese's things were the mini eggs that are shaped like cadbury eggs.

    I have a palm T l X. It's great, I love it and I have the Clan Thompson list on it. I also had DH put the Delphi list into acrobat and put that on there. It's a lifesaver. I think I got it for $260 Open Original Shared Link

    OK, I tried a search but didn't find what I was looking for... I'm making potato skins tonight (my arteries are clogging already ) and I need a ranch dressing for dipping. I really dislike the Kraft ranch dressing, always have. Anyone know of a gluten-free ranch dressing that tastes close to Hidden Valley? They won't say their dressing is gluten...

    I got glutened at an Outback, also. I had their shrimp appetizer and by the middle of my salad I was sick. SO annoying. I think the sauce probably got contaminated. Also, when I get glutened, almost everything I eat for a few days makes me feel glutened. I think the body just goes hyperactive after glutening. Maybe the steak didn't agree with you...

    I know Kraft ranch is gluten-free, and as always, Kraft plainly labels gluten. Their modified food starch is corn unless stated otherwise. Enjoy!

    Open Original Shared Link Free shipping over $20 and the soy sauce is low-sodium, too! Less than $20 and you're stuck paying for fed-ex. You can fill that $20 by getting A1 packets, dressing packets, etc...

    UPDATE on my grandfather... my mom corrected me, he's 88 not 87. Also, she forgot to tell me that he's TALKING. Not much, but talking. I had no idea. A couple weeks ago, some family was there and were leaving. His cousin said, "I'll be back in 2 days" he said, "I'll be here". His son said said, "I'll be back to see you soon" he said, "I'll be here...

    Yes it will, that's how I heat mine! Very little water though, just barely damp...

    I made pamelas bread the day I went gluten-free and threw it away, because it tasted like slimy hummus. Should have learned my lesson. I ate a cookie, once, too. But soon after going gluten-free. Aren't they made in a dedicated facility?

    So I made my weekly pizza, only this time I used Pamela's bread mix instead of the chebe mix I normally use. I did nothing different other wise, same sauce, spices, cheese, pans, parchment. I used the mix and packet of fleishman's rapid rise yeast. I have a policy of not using the yeast in mixes, since I don't know how old it is. Anybody know anything...

    Oh! I thought of something else! We were originally going to do this but changed venue and had to make it earlier in the evening. You could have your ceremony at say, 8pm, and then have a dessert reception. Tables full of cakes, cheesecakes, truffles, fruit, maybe a chocolate fountain, an ice cream bar...the possibilities are endless! and decadent! Have...

    I posted this one back in February. Cheap, easy, and tastes good! Greek Rice (has nothing to do with greece, just a family recipe) 1 lb ground beef (I suppose turkey would work, too) 2 c. chicken broth (I usually use boullion and make it strong) 1 c. rice 1 tbsp margarine or oil Serve with:Applesauce Put rice and oil/margarine into...

    1. how long have you had celiac? Coming up on 4 years, after a bad bout of mono 2. At what age were you diagnosed? 22 3. what foods do you miss out on? French bread, hidden valley ranch dressing 4. How much does it cost to stay gluten free? A lot. I don't buy much replacement stuff, but there is so much trial and error involved, because a lot of...

    Yeah, I saw them on a gluten-free list recently, so I was surprised when they weren't on the website... I've eaten them. They did, however, make me sick, but I don't know if it was gluten or if my body just didn't like the oil in them. Or the potatoes themselves bothered me, who knows anymore

    Open Original Shared Link That's their list. I didn't see tater tots, though I tend to be "tot blind" I've missed them on lists before GLUTEN FREE PRODUCTS If you suffer from celiac disease (gluten intolerance) you will be pleased to know that the Ore-Ida® Brand offers a wide variety of products that are gluten-free. ...

    Here's their Celiac statement - impressive! "Notes about wheat allergies and celiac disease Celiac disease and wheat allergies are two distinct conditions. Celiac disease, or celiac sprue, is a permanent adverse reaction to gluten. Those with celiac disease will not lose their sensitivity to this substance. This disease requires a lifelong restriction...

    I was pm-ing her through the "incident", and I'm pretty sure she'll be back to the boards. She just was upset and stepping away from the thread for a while.

    CONGRATULATIONS!!! Now that THAT is out of the way! I wasn't gluten-free at my wedding, but a lot of our food was naturally that way. We did a heavy hors d'oevure buffet for ours. I let the restaurant just put out whatever they wanted, because I'd done many banquets with them before and trusted them. We had salad, shrimp, marinated vegetables...

    Ditto to that. Getting emotional for no reason is about the 3rd symptom I have of glutening. Brain fog, face goes numb, and then I get depressed. And I'm overly sensitive on a good day!!!

    In the case of Celiacs, at least, the nails don't grow well because of vitamin deficiencies. Spiltting, cracking, peeling, dents, and ridges can all be blamed on vitamin deficiencies. Here's a website that explains: Open Original Shared Link

    I got a call from my mom last night. My 87 year old grandfather, who had valve replacement surgery the day after I went gluten-free, so 2/3 I guess, is not doing well. He had a lot of plaque in his aorta and had a bunch of teeny strokes from micro bits of plaque that got loose. He is still cognitively there, because he responds to and recognizes family, starting...

    You could get a jump drive and save it to there instead of emailing it back and forth.
