    So DH noticed that I've been in a better mood since I've been gluten-free for two weeks. I noticed the better mood almost immediately, and the fog has cleared significantly. However, the day after I started the gluten-free thing, I had to travel to go see my grandfather who is in the hospital and not doing well and I was gone for 5 days. Anyway, I left...

    If it's a pot luck kind of thing, you can bring a big bowl of potato salad, which should be pretty easy to make gluten-free/SF. None of that hippie (no offense, I eat the hippy stuff all the time ) substitution stuff, I'm talking full blown southern potato salad! And, since its loaded with mayo and boiled eggs and whatnot, lots of calories! Other...

    This is from the gluten free in San Diego website: Starbucks www.starbucks.com Last verified 10/28/05 1-800-23-LATTE The following information was given by several Customer Service Department representatives for Starbucks via telephone. They require you to call to receive information about their gluten-free menu items, rather then...

    I'm new at this, I'm the gluten-free one, and so my husband is new at this also. He shouldn't be a jerk about the pizza thing, but think about if you could never have your favorite food ever again, it's depressing. Being a celiac is not comperable to a diet like atkins or weight watchers, because with those you can look at the person eating ice cream...

    I had a "sensitive stomach" as a child as well. I also had stomach aches and a battery of tests from which the Dr. concluded that I had a nervous stomach. And yet, here I am. Encourage your sister to look into it, if nothing else, maybe they'll find another reason her stomach is so sensitive.

    That sounds like me! I'm afraid of orange juice, it's sent me to the emergency room more than once. When meds didn't work, my GI doc said I must have been taking the nexium wrong Sorry, but there is no false positive for Celiac. If it came up positive on the biopsy, you've got some flattened villi. Flattened villi are only caused by celiac, and...

    The Riceland rice website has a gazillion rice recipes, and many of them are gluten free! They even do some creative things with rice where you might otherwise use wheat (can't wait to try the 3-cheese rice quiche!) Open Original Shared Link Even some of their bread recipes are gluten-free, and they don't even use rice flour Also, they have...

    Are Quaker Soy Crisps gluten-free? I know Quaker says they can't guarantee blah blah CYA statement. They are so good, but I think they made me sleepy and bloated, although that could have been the McD's french fries Anyone eat them? React to them? Anything?

    Wow, that's a great list! Thanks for sharing!

    "Greek" Rice- I doubt it's really greek but it's a family recipe and it's awesome! Glad it's gluten-free, too 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 butter or oil Applesauce Put rice and butter into a large saucepan (we use a wok, actually ...

    I'm a sweedamickacanuckaho Translation: Sweedish, Irish, French-Canadian, Native American In my family, we embrace the bad nicknames Nobody on Mom's side have celiac (though stomach problems), but my Dad was adopted, so who the h-e-double-hockey-sticks knows? (though I do know that that is where the sweed and french-canadian came from) ...

    I've had the h. pylori blood test about sixteen THOUSAND times, and that's what they biopsied me for a few years ago with the endoscopy. Everyone was CONvinced that my horrific stomach pain was from an ulcer. Idiots. How many times do you need to do a friggin' test before you can say that's not it?! They also did several occult blood stool samples. Negatory...

    I do hate Valentine's Day, however, it's not a made up holiday (tell your husbands and boyfriends!) As anyone with any kind of parochial education can tell you, it's a saint day: (From the history channel.com) "Today, the Catholic Church recognizes at least three different saints named Valentine or Valentinus, all of whom were martyred. ...

    Richard- I didn't want to eat out, I had to because I had to travel to see my grandfather who is in ICU out of state. I tried eating at my friend's house when I could (and did a lot of health food shopping), but some of the time I couldn't. I did a lot of research before I left, I think I did ok. It was all bad timing. Also, there's a pretty safe...

    In an effort to surprise me, DH won't tell me where we're going He's bad at surprises, so at least he's trying. He's trying to make it more special since it's our first married valentine's. I'm not sure he knows enough about the gluten-free stuff, but he assures me he'll take care of it. I can only hope he did some research and made reservations...

    I just started the whole gluten-free thing a week and a half ago (and apparently my comfort McD fries are no longer safe ). DH is taking me out to dinner tonight, how do I approach the gluten-free thing without coming off like a hypochondriac?! I've tried eating out a few times and I feel like a paranoid idiot, any tips? And the candy flying...

    DANGIT! Just when I thought I could *almost* be normal somewhere. Stupid liars.

    Yeah, I have the cuisinart. The only gluten-free loaf I've made BURNED and I took it out 8 mins early. I guess I had my loaf weight off and should have set it to light. The cuisinart makes really thick crusts. Bread turned out ok otherwise, it's not my breadmaker's fault that gluten-free bread is gross

    The only mix I've tried is Pamela's bread mix, and I made it in my breadmaker that has a gluten-free setting (a convenient co-inkidink). I could build a brick colonial with that bread. I hate the texture, it looks normal, but once it is in my mouth the texture is like slimy hummus. Eww. I'm not sure I can get used to it, I'd rather have my tuna or pb&...

    Hi, I'm new. My dr put me on a gluten-free diet about a week and a half ago. I've had D and spells of horriffic abdominal pain for 2 or 3 years. Have had several blood tests (almost always anemic), an endoscopy (he was looking for esophogeal damage), an ultrasound, trips to the emergency room, and lots of general poking. The same idiot dr that did my...
