Would bet ya all money I start in the next 12 hours, been tired, gassy, D, and so tired I have literally slept all day after having a restless night...... and early or even late, oh yes its possible, heck if it wasn't for my syptoms...

    Ham (canadian bacon) is my general preference... Today having a hankering for pizza and no crust mixes in my cupboard (oh mr UPS man where are my groceries!!!) took a walk on the wilder side in my kitchen..... in my before gluten-free life I loved "english muffin pizza's" and since mr ups man has yet to show up with my weekly box of groceries it was...

    I have never had a problem with any of hormels foods marked gluten free.

    well, heres a small start for help "shopping" Start with the basics, I mean very basic.... meat & veggie meals... (watch the spices and sauces many have gluten added) I am not saying throw everything out now, much may be useable but you need to get comfortable with the diet for a bit then branch out a little at a time. And DO NOT throw out your...

    I try to do a plant with special meaning... I recently gave a peace lily to my friend when she tragically lost her husband. she loves flowers and the name and type fit the occation. With people not as close food is typical but does pose dangers I have tried to get away from but thinking of something nonfood to give instead. Others feel uncomfortable...

    To get to the nearest "health food" store, I have to travel 60 miles currently, they do NOT have any selection worth looking at, I have on multiple occations mentioned my concern.... they have been ignored. I am NOT the only celiac/gluten intolerant person in the area and if I had the time and money I would open a health food store worth having an open sign...

    OK, long story short version.... I sold my house (gotta be outta here the 15th of next month) Found the MOST beautiful house I have ever seen and the bank said if you want it then you can have it! Here is the problem.... Its completely surrounded by "pivots" and generally they grow wheat in the corners.... so.... I don't "think" it will be...

    I guess I am lucky, sort of, when I get on my train I wipe EVERYTHING down with bleach wipes, you have NO idea how some of the other engineers slobber their food! I also carry my own cooler with all my food either in it or in my "carry on bag" I let my conductor have the little worthless fridge all to themself! When I get to "the other end of the road...

    I had a female conductor a few weeks ago whose son had been telling her for a couple years about his, she was the "its all in his head" type of mentality, until she offered me a cookie.... I refused saying sorry I cant I have food allergies, she replied, oh its ok there's no peanuts in these, my response.... thats great but I can eat peanuts its the gluten...

    So I finally get in to see the dr and inform him I did not take his little purple miricle pills and instead went 100% on a gluten free diet and amazingly all my prior symptoms are gone, so I now want a blood test or list of vitamins/herbs/minerals I should be taking to avert any malnutrition issues from not eating gluten/wheat his response.... I have a...

    I found for some things I use alot of I can buy cases at amazon .com and save over local prices, not that my local(60 miles one way) is very knowledgable or helpful when I ask about certain things they "could" carry, is it a bad thing I am concidering opening a very local store as I am also finding out there are at least 6 of us in this town alone! Heard...

    Yuppers I recall my first glutening very clearly, mine was accidental due to my inexpirience with the details of the diet, but on what a wonderful week I had in the bathroom. My hubby says I am becomming "anal" about my kitchen being 100% gluten free, he keeps noticing his "crappy cupboard" keeps getting emptier and emptier We went to sturgis the...

    I missed my "regular" comfort food when I first started and would drop off the wagon, however for most of this year I have been 100% gluten-free I didnt change my diet so much as I changed my state of mind. Rather than binge on something I miss I spend hours looking for a great tasting gluten-free version... I am currently working on breads and crackers...

    I decided last night was "the night" to teach my hubby a valuble lesson in my life...... From the beginning he has been suportive... He is the first to remind the wairtress that I did specify NO CROUTONS on my salad and basically making the really foolish ones feel even more foolish, keeping his gluten filled products in his own fridge in the garage and...

    not counting my 3 years failed gluten free attempt I am now about 6 months TOTALLY gluten free not to mention a minor 5 pounds lighter and yes ladies 4 pant sizes smaller! I have had to almost totally change my wardrobe, but am doing it in increments until I get to whatever my "norm" will be...... I keep thinking I should return to "the doctor" and find...

    this is such a weird topic, seems things happen in groups and nothing dawns on me until late anyways, so..... I was diag'ed with tendonitis at age 19 and always assumed my wrist problems were resulting in that, I did notice however if I ate foods high in salt the swelling numbness etc would multiply greatly (still does) The last couple months my "wrist...

    I spent years trying to convince my dr this was my problem, still can't convince him and have been 100% gluten-free for a couple months now (was 75% gluten-free before that I figure due to me not reading in this forum more during that time, thats the reason for the signature, lol) I have no blood tests, no biopsy and no DNA tests, only thing I have is...

    basic staples for me are: hoffmans fine noodles, since I can't yet find something to "thicken" my soups and stews I found their fine noodles do a dandy job of it and taste good too. gluten-free broth both chicken and beef again for the soups and stews. carrots, potatoes, apples, fruit of any kind Chocolate chip cookies (OMG I am in love...

    I tried the toothpaste thing, didnt work for me, as I wasn't awake enough when I brushed it didnt help, instead i put them in the drawer with my hair brush, the toothpaste wakes me up to brush my hair then I see my meds.

    Depending on the age of your car/truck some helpful hints: Keep up with recommended changes check for your specific milages in your user manual, dont have one, call your local dealer... air filter, oil filter, breather filter (older autos have these in with the air filter) and tire pressure Little more money involved here, however also helps: double...

(named off a few books etc).... and said his daughters...
