    I got mine at home depot but any hardware store or home center should carry it, its not chicken wire exactly its 1/4 wire mesh more like, sorta, cant remember the exact wording for it, but its got 1/4 square holes in the wire where chicken wire has like 1 inch octogons. If I think of it tomorrow I will take a picture of mine and post a link to the picture...

    things to cook in a slow cooker are almost endless, any meat with any veggie and a bit of water or broth a spice or two and you have a huge meal when you get home! My personal favorites are chicken stew, beef stew, chicken soup, veggie beef soup, gumbo and baked beans, I have also has BBQ ribs that were very tasty.

    I so well recall my first accidental glutening, I was so proud of myself I had been doing so well for so long and was feeling so totally awesome then one day the big bad gluten monster had a surprise for me and boy howdy did I see, feel and hear him coming! It was a week before i got out of the bathroom! and another week before the brain fog wore off...

    when I first found out I would never have children I blamed my 1st husband..... after finding out about some of the symptoms it may not have been ALL his fault, the celiac may have been partly to blame, just they each caused their own damage and that leaves me with alot of nieces and nephews who think I am awesome. It also leaves my current husband childless...

    I cant remember where I saw it, or even if I recall correctly, but I thought I saw a post someplace about being able to get a tax credit if you have dr confirmation or something, you may want to check with "your tax lady" to get more details but I swear that I saw this someplace..... I recall thinking to myself this would have4 been nice but I will be darned...

    Well this is going to come in very handy! My parents and sister are landing at DIA on the 5th of nov, my first house guests after going gluten-free, and as this is the first time they have been out here I get to play host to the tourists...... No I will not be wearing that tacky tourist shirt either! I'll be the normal one standing next to them!! ...

    Well, I do alot of "mulching" and love to make my own dirt, and must admit I have gotten pretty good at it.... simple to construct, easy to use and you just cant mess it up........ I live where we get lots of wind so rather than use the "chicken wire" outside wall I started using cement blocks and make mine 3 sided with a little part wall in the front...

    OK, i know its a bad thing to generalize that ALL police officers eat doughnuts... but thx for making me laugh! Where I grew up we had a very few officers, and they all LOVED their doughnuts, got so big from them they had to stop buying cars and go to 4x4's! I got the shock of seeing one of them try to "chase" a suspect once, ohhh that didnt turn...

    ok, since I am "ancient" as my nephew told me today, seems my mind isn't quite what it used to be, someone early on in the thread was mentioning not eating cookies...... if you haven't yet, try the "cause your special" mixes, the chocolate chip ones seriously have the same taste, the texture is a bit different but still good, I do however suggest that...

    I still remember week 2...... vividly I also had a bit of the same things you do. Look ahead to week 3 if you follow my footsteps anyways, thats when the craving will start in full force.... use these to your advantage, you crave those pretzels go find some but make sure they are gluten-free (gluten free) its a task in itself but worth the effort (I am...

    I found the "gluten free for dummies" book to be pretty informative about different flours and uses as well as combinations to make, not to mention the truly wonderful coffee cake recipe in there!

    Rage?? gee that NEVER happens to me after a glutening Thats my story and I'm sticking to it um.... just dont ask that poor taxi driver from the other day, or um..... that new guy at work brian... um..... or a trainmaster or two and you definately do NOT want to ask my hubby! I just cant figure out where those LIES they tell stem from ...

    Oh yes I get cravings like that as well! And I have checked ALL the cone ingredients and cant have a single stinking yummy tasting one of them........ I then go home get into my freezer and have me a huge helping of ice cream...... in a boring bowl What I wouldn't give for a ice cream cone........ Luckily I wouldn't give up my health!

    I used my "cravings" to find good tasting alternatives to what I used to eat....... for thicking my stews and soups I now use gluten-free noodles rather than flour and I even like it better! I am not jewish so have a few different tastes than you do as I have lived a sheltered life so far but am branching out lately into the new and different, I think...

    So far as I have seen hormel foods does a great job of this as well... most of their lunch and breakfast meats are marked as well as some of their canned and microwave goods OMG I Loved this book, and the recipe for coffee cake is awesome! best $20 I spent for this diet! I have found all the "cause your special" brand mixes for baked goods...

    First I want to congradulate you on your restraint, you should definately get major amounts of gluten-free brownie points for dealing with your boss's ignorance not to mention not saying whats really on your mind. I do however agreee at least in part with "thatchickali" you need to decide wether this job is worth the aggravation not just with the food...

    My advise would be start at the bottom and work your way up, start with the state level then increase as you get maybe a little help from "the little guys" Those little guys have interesting phone numbers and such ya know not to mention maybe personal email addys of senators congressmen and maybe even FDA people

    I tried a couple recipe's and even a couple mixes, so far my favorite mix is from causeyourspecial.com I dont have a favorite recipe as yet, I'm still looking at those... had the tortilla ones again today, and with bartely a pizza craving it still tasted good so guess I will stop throwing out those corn tortilla's as they make pretty good "qickie pizza...

    Not long ago I read an article about a teenage girl who passed away from an allergy attack after kissing her boyfriend.... That story helps me keep in focus how easy I have it with living gluten-free... If I kiss my hubby and get a cc issue, I wont die from it, sure its not going to be fun for a while but no death will occur from it, he doesnt have to...

    Yuppers right on target, never was regular until i went gluten-free, this time of the month with the visit from aunt flo I often wonder if it was really worth it, then she leaves and I realize yes it is!

    I wont be much help for most issues you are facing, however, the hives I might be able to help with.... When I was very young I would occationally get them for unknown reasons. The doctor would do the benedryl My grammie made a paste of water and baking soda to cover the hives, it seems to reduce the itching involved.

    I gave up on the doctors, and since going 100% gluten-free I feel so much better I cant believe how sick I was, I don't need the paper with numbers on it to tell me that was my problem all along.

    ARCHIVED Milk?

    loco-ladi replied to Bread Belly's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Being that I am self diagnosed (who needs another dang doctor anyways they're to opinionated) I did not know about the milk issue, but not knowing how to read labels when I started ended up failing at my goal however learning now I should have excluded milk was a bit late..... now my cousin on the other hand, still cannot do milk but then she was undiagnosed...

    Very few restraunts are willing to offer gluten free menu's, basically they are worried about cross contamination, its the employee issue with that mostly I think, as some know most think "its not like a little bread crumb will kill you" when in fact it may not kill you but you'll sure wish you were dead! Not a real big difference if you ask me....... ...
