    Most people don't know this - but you can just use rice flour (scooped low) and about 3/4 tsp xanthan gum to every 1 cup rice flour as a substitute for most recipes. My mom always used the same recipes for me growing up as she did for the rest of the family - just using that substitution. Just find the finest rice flour you can (oriental markets sell it...

    Thanks, so far, for your responses! All I can say is - wow! It makes me glad I can't remember my diagnosis! I have a few specific questions I was hoping someone might want to reply to (again - just a reminder - by replying, you give me "permission" to quote you in my project). I want to know about first experiences going grocery shopping after...

    Hi all!! It's been a long time since I've been here! My life has gotten crazy! I had my second baby almost 2 months ago and having two kids is quite the challenge for me! However, I am doing great with being 100% gluten free! YEA! I came back to this site to ask for some help from anyone willing! I am creating a small book of sorts as a personal...

    Yeah, I had already checked the wikipedia site and got their definition. I sent all the info to my mom in an email for her to pass on to my grandparents. I let my grandma know about the dairy being hard to digest at first....thinking maybe that's why they told her to keep him off of whey. That wasn't the case... but she knows about the dairy issues now...

    Thanks! Now I just need to convince my grandma that the nutrionist they talked too is Wrong! (Easier said than done!) She said that the nutrionist told them that whey can come from either milk or barley. Which is completely stupid! No information I've found says that. I even looked on the Whey Protein Institute's website!! (www.wheyoflife.org) Argh...

    Okay, so my 81 year old grandpa was diagnosed with Celiac (on his deathbed - having a last chance surgery to remove something from his pancreas...and then they went "digging" around to see if anything else was wrong - when they discovered no villi in his intestines). It's nice to know where I got this disease from...I'm no longer the only one in my family...

    Wow!! Thanks for the responses!! I was prepared to write down a recipe or two...but I think I'll just print that whole page and take to the store with me! So, from the sounds of it - just throw in whatever you want... no measuring involved? That's my kind of cooking! I know that celery is just as much a part of Chicken Salad as the Chicken is....but it...
  8. MallysMama
    I've seen lots of you post that you often eat chicken salad. Does anyone have a good recipe for it? I've never made it before, but it's sounding pretty good! I'm pregnant right now and my cravings seem to be constantly changing - and I'm in the mood for something new! Thanks!!

    Adelle, I'm totally with you on not buying the flour mixes. Waste of money in my opinion. I don't ever use anything except white rice flour and xanthan gum. (Find the finest rice flour you possibly can for things to turn out better.... Asian/Oriental markets have great flour!!) My homemade pancake/waffle recipe that my mom made for me growing up...

    I'm not sure I understand the "conspiracy theory" idea going on. How do you mean?? I took your saying that to mean you were sick of people bringing all their other health problems (blamed on celiac, of course) and trying to get everyone else to believe their symptom is being caused by that other problem. Does that make sense? Am I way off on the conspiracy...
  11. MallysMama
    I dont' remember the exact amount... I think it's something like for every 1 cup of flour you use 3/4 tsp of xanthan gum. Since cookies don't need to do a lot of rising or growing - I've heard you don't need to use very much. I don't use any for things like pancakes. When I made these cookies, I didn't even measure the xanthan gum (I'm sure it was less...

    Even though I've had Celiac all my life, I'd have to say that I was grateful to finally understand that my most embarrassing moment in my entire life was caused because of it (I never understood that growing up... it just "hit" me not too long ago). I was in 1st grade...and a very quiet/shy person (still am, I guess). I've always hated to have the attention...

    ARCHIVED "the Trigger"

    MallysMama replied to a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    I guess my "trigger" was my own birth! It showed up in the normal range of when you start feeding a baby/toddler more and more whole foods. I got sicker and sicker. So, I guess I've always had it... no trigger necessary. I guess I'm lucky...some of your triggers sound worse than actually Having Celiac!

    I figured I'd post this way easy cookie recipe for everyone. It's just a regular homemade choco chip cookie recipe - just use rice flour and a little bit of xanthan gum. They look the same...and I'm sure they taste the same too! (I made my kind and the "regular" kind today for my hubby - - so he doesn't eat all of mine!) Chocolate Chip Cookies 3...

    Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! You just said what I'd been trying to say all along (though I was too frustrated and, I'll admit, angry to get it out right). I'm glad to finally see some people....in even just a tiny little way.... agreeing with my point. I do, however, want to let you know that my original post - though correct at the time -...

    I'm NOT talking about talking to the manager and server to get your food fixed - cooked up, recooked or remade. That, of course, should be done...and no manager I know of has a problem with that. It's complaining to the Outback company in itself....writing a letter to the company, calling them, etc... that's what gets things like MY restaurant's gluten...
  17. MallysMama
    Yes, half the effort is better than none. Unless the restaurant serves only 100% gluten-free food....they cannot guarantee that your food will be 100% safe - gluten-free menu or not! What OSI is doing is giving you the opportunity to see what they serve that contains no gluten - they are not guaranteeing that you don't have the risk of CC. (Just read the...

    I don't think what you eat will harm your baby in any way. If your baby has the chance of getting Celiac, he could get it whether or not you eat gluten. I have Celiac...and when I was pregnant with my daughter I was in the habit of "cheating" all the time (didn't have strong reactions to it)...and so far, she's two and has no real symptoms of having Celiac...

    ARCHIVED Outback...

    MallysMama replied to a topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    Here's my suggestions from each section of the menu: Appetizer: Grilled Shrimp on the Barbie (no garlic toast) Salad: Queensland Salad (no croutons and don't choose the Mustard Vinagraitte dressing) House salad -soooo yummy- once again, no croutons Chicken: Chicken on the Barbie (if you get the veggies...make sure you tell them no butter...

    Then it must just be the restuarants under my JVP (person who oversees a certain number of Outbacks in one area)....which would be all of the Las Vegas Outbacks (8) and one in St. George, Utah. I WORK at Outback...this was NO "rumor." My boss informed me that they were to rip up the gluten-free menus and not to give them out anymore. Maybe it's just been...
  21. MallysMama
    I hate to tell everyone this...but Outback Steakhouse is no longer going to put out their gluten-free menu. They say they can't "guarantee" that anything is 100% gluten-free. My guess is that some stupid person complained one too many times about being glutened there...so they punished the rest of us and got rid of the gluten-free menu. Don't we all know...
  22. MallysMama
    What a fun topic!! Thanks for starting it! I'm gluten free but I'm soooooo glad I don't have to give up SUGAR!!! It makes me so mad when I go to buy a gluten free product and they think they have to get rid of the regular sugar in it too - I'm just a celiac - not a diabetic!! GRRRR!!! All those nasty gluten-free products would be so much better if...
  23. MallysMama
    Thanks for all the suggestions!! Sounds like the mango salsa is way good! We ended up not going there tonight... traffic was kinda bad...so we just went somewhere closer since we had our daughter with us. We'll definitely try it out soon though!!
  24. MallysMama
    Hi! We decided to try out Bonefish Grill tonight to celebrate mine and my daughter's b-days. I've never eaten there before. I looked at their gluten-free menu online last night...but I was curious to see if anyone had actually tried the food. What did you eat and did you like it? (And did you get sick?) I would like to try something new and different...

    Aw, I wish I was a part of the Utah group! Vegas has a support group, but it's just not the same. (Not that I've been to a Utah support group since I was like 5.....but still!) Justjane - what part of WVC are you in? That's where I was born and "raised" (okay - only lived there till I was in 4th grade... but I guess I'm still "from" there)! We...
