I make bread in the bread machine. I just use the gluten free bread mixes (like Bob's Red Mill). I don't know if any stores sell that around you but you may be able to order it through the mail. Some of the gluten free bread I make is so good that non gluten free people love it. My ILs ask for some every time I make it. You can get some pretty good brown...

DS has been gluten free for several years now (so is everyone else in the family except for DH....and he is the one with the worst digestive issues.....that is a whole other topic). DS has always had pale stools once in a while but now it is getting worse. I have never seen poop such a strange color and I am a nurse. Sometimes they are light green, light...

I am self-diagnosed. I had the blood test but decided to go gluten free before I even got the results. The results came out negative but I decided to go gluten free anyway. My symptoms weren't severe but I feel so much better gluten free that I'm not going back! I wish DH would try the gluten free diet because he has constant bloating, explosive diarrhea...

I have been to both Da Luciano's and Rose's Bakery. Rose's Bakery has some pretty good bread. My favorite is the one with all the seeds in it. I also like their sweet baked good (like cookies). I though the pizza was pretty good from Da Luciano's but I have only been there once. I would like to try the pizza from Rose's one of these days. I agree about...

I got really sick twice in Mexico but both times were food poisoning (I know because others got sick also). My body just does not like the microbes in Mexico because I get sick every time I go. Maybe it is because I am not staying in a resort. btw, I found gluten free cookies in Mexico. They were made 100% from corn meal. They were pretty tasty.....and...

I love my crockpot. It is really good on days that you work and want to come home to a hot meal. Spaghetti sauce and chili are the best in a crockpot. I suggest spraying it with non-stick spray before using (like someone else mentioned) because they can be a pain to clean. Remember that you are supposed to fill the pot atleast half way when buying one...

Just the sight of gluten filled foods can make me feel slightly ill. Everytime I see someone take a bite of a sandwich or cake I think "how can they eat that poison?" and then I remember that everyone isn't gluten intolerant like me. I even feel guilty eating gluten free food like cake and cookies. The mind is a very powerful thing. Just because it is...

I would accept the gift and then say something like "Thank you so much for your gift! I can't eat _______ because I am gluten intolerant, but I'm sure my family will enjoy it/them". That way you remind them but don't "reject" their gift. it took a while for DH to remember to check all labels or not offer me gluten filled food so I don't get upset if others...

My daughter has the same problem with glutening herself. Our house is 95% gluten free (DH still buys regular bread for lunch) but she gets things from her friends. Last time she had to miss a day of school because she was so sick from eating a piece of cake. When she was sick she talked about how that piece of cake wasn't worth it and she would never do...

I had some trouble with my ILs when the kids and I first went gluten free. They would make comments and try to give them food with gluten in it anyway. I stood my ground (without fighting with them about it) and finally sent (emailed) DH some info about gluten intolerance to give them. It sometimes helps to have someone on your side so you aren't the only...

I love their brown rice pasta, banana and regular waffles, hummus, chocolate covered sunflower seeds, and of course the cheap wine . I also pick up redbridge there because it is a couple $$ cheaper than at Whole Foods. I just love TJs

My favorite is Trader Joe's brand of Brown rice pasta. It is also the cheapest one I have found. My mom uses it to make pasta salad and no one can tell the difference. People always rave about the pasta salad. And if you want to reheat gluten free pasta, don't put any sauce on it when you put it in the fridge. Just reheat it in the microwave with a tiny...

I found out I was gluten intolerant just last year (at 27). It was hard at first, but now I am used to it. I was never really that sick, but I feel much better being gluten-free. My kids were 3 and 8 when they went gluten free. DD cheated once at a party by eating cake. I kept asking her what was wrong because she had tons of gas and even had accidents...

Yes! I had the worse gas pains ever after going on a gluten binge one weekend. I find that laying on my stomach or going for a walk helps to get the gas out. When my kids had gas (when they were babies/toddlers), I would move their legs like they were riding a bike. My son still like me to do that to him when he has tummy pains. I would also lightly...

I wanted to send you some (((HUGS))). Hopefully you are able to have a closer relationship with your DD in the future. I didn't get along with my mom until I got older and understood her better. I also used to be embarrassed by my mom, but I realized there was nothing to be embarrassed about. Nobody is perfect (I know I am not). My mom and I are really...
