ARCHIVED What To Expect At The Mayo And Other ?'s
Jennas-auntie replied to geminigal's topic in Doctors
If you are looking for restaurants and gluten free grocery items while you are there, you might want to check out Open Original Shared Link They have a nice list going of which restaurants they have spoken with about how to be gluten free and have arranged certain menu items they have at least initially cleared with them. I've heard you can get almost everything... -

Often stores sell it with the popcorn products or the popcorn salt-good luck- -
ARCHIVED Western Iowa Eastern Nebraska
Jennas-auntie replied to missy'smom's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Hi! I don't live out there but have been out to the area for Tulip festival nearby-there is a support group in Sioux Falls, here is the contact info- Sioux Falls Celiac Disease Support Group, 7 p.m. Call: Grace, 582-7194, or June, 528-6189. Second Monday there is probably one in Sioux City too which would be closer to her, but I haven't heard of... -
ARCHIVED Nuts/shelled? What Brands?
Jennas-auntie replied to oceangirl's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I'm pretty sure that most of the Blue Diamond nuts are ok-they don't have that "made in a factory w..." warning that almost all the other nuts have-also Planters is ok I believe. I don't know for certain about the soy. Maybe someone else will weigh in here. The Blue Diamond nuts though, are put out by the same people who do the rice crackers- -
ARCHIVED Fortune Cookies
Jennas-auntie replied to Jennas-auntie's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
IT WORKS!! I can hardly believe it, but it does-here is the recipe, altered to be gluten-free. Krumcake tastes better, but these don't taste bad and they fold twice to get that fortune cookie shape. You can put any message in there you want-I used proverbs from around the world, I know someone who once used the Ferengi Rules of Aquisition-or you... -
ARCHIVED Fortune Cookies
Jennas-auntie replied to Jennas-auntie's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Nancy, Thanks so much! I tried it tonight-Krumcake is awesome (especially warm from the oven)! I'm going to have to get one of those special rollers just so I can make it now-as for what I was attempting with the fortune cookies-I used about a tablespoon of the batter and rounded it out, like you are supposed to do. Then I cooked them in the oven at... -
I'd love to try it gluten-free, it's a fun idea-but the "regular" wheat based recipe is rather finicky to begin with-you have about 10-20 seconds to shape the cookie, max, or it's done and you'll break it. I'm a bit nervous about attempting to sub flours-any ideas? or has anyone used a recipe they recommend? Thanks for any suggestions!

ARCHIVED Best Cake Mixes
Jennas-auntie replied to delawaregirl's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I second the Namaste mix for chocolate cake. Don't know if their other stuff is any good, but it is very moist and so good other people don't know it is gluten-free unless you tell them. I've served it at birthday parties and no one knew the difference. Also, I waited for eons to try it not realizing, that, unlike almost every other cake mix out there... -
ARCHIVED Cycling Season Is Starting Up...
Jennas-auntie replied to mkh's topic in Sports and Fitness
Just thought I'd mention-Perpetuem is a drink/supplement type mix-my husband who is a cyclist just got some today and right on the back it says "contains no wheat or gluten". (Perpetuem, I think, is also a Hammer product). It's supposed to be good stuff. You get a better deal by buying the larger container vs. single serving, but you can try single serving... -

ARCHIVED Frustrated By Friend Who's Dh Is Supposedly Celiac!vent!
Jennas-auntie replied to LyndaCanada's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Just read recent research (can't find the paper now, sorry!) that 1/4 of one Triscuit or the equivalent amount of gluten is enough to cause the autoimmune reaction in celiac, whether or not the person is aware of a reaction. Therefore, new proposed guidelines are that if someone is consuming this amount of gluten per month, since it takes typically about... -
ARCHIVED Clothes And Sutures Made From Gluten?
Jennas-auntie posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Read this in an article today-"fibers for clothing have been made for the first time from the wheat protein gluten...the fibers are as strong and soft as wool and silk but up to 30 times cheaper. Narenda Reddy and Yiqui Yang, who produced the fibers (University of Nebraska in Lincoln) say that because they are biodegradable they might be used in biomedical... -
ARCHIVED Just Wondering Who's From Minnesota
Jennas-auntie replied to linds's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Thanks for the review!! -
I've heard that if you are wondering if you are part of the 10% that react, once your labs are good again, if you wish to try out oats (the noncontaminated kind) you can do so and then get retested labwise to see if your numbers go up or not. Some people who react to gluten or to oats don't show obvious signs. Maybe someone else on here will weigh in on...

ARCHIVED Just Wondering Who's From Minnesota
Jennas-auntie replied to linds's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Hm, open to whatever might be good I guess-maybe if they have a specialty or something they say people really like? Maybe what are general prices like there too? Sounds like an interesting place though. -
ARCHIVED Just Wondering Who's From Minnesota
Jennas-auntie replied to linds's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Say, has anyone been to Cooqi yet? It is a new all gluten free bakery in St. Paul (MN). I haven't been there, just wondering what people thought. Here's their site: Open Original Shared Link -
ARCHIVED Trip To Wisconsin Dells
Jennas-auntie replied to angelsmom's topic in Traveling with Celiac Disease
Don't feel bad! The city is called Wisconsin Dells, WI-but most people in the tri-state area just call them the Dells, which leads to confusion. Sort of how local MNs call St. Paul/Minneapolis "The Twin Cities" or usually just "The Cities" which can lead to confusion on a national/international board like this one. -
ARCHIVED Trip To Wisconsin Dells
Jennas-auntie replied to angelsmom's topic in Traveling with Celiac Disease
The Dells now has a Chicago Uno Grill-we ate there last year, it was pretty good. Here is their online gluten free menu information: Open Original Shared Link Sorry I can't tell you more about other restaurants, wasn't there more than a day! Have fun- -
ARCHIVED The Most Delicious Home-made Gluten Free Bread I've Ever Tasted...
Jennas-auntie replied to mamatide's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Hi! THANK YOU for this recipe-we tried it and it was great! I could pick up the slice of bread and flop it around without it disintegrating. What I did since it rose so fast-I placed a flat cookie sheet over the 9x5 pan while it rose and kept a good eye on it. This prevents it from overflowing the edges, and I didn't have any problem slicing it after... -
ARCHIVED Does Anyone Shop At Aldi? Do They Have...
Jennas-auntie replied to kbabe1968's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Sorry, I have heard they label their items gluten free in Europe, however I recently wrote them a letter (you can't contact them by email on their website) and they said they would not be able to provide gluten free status information on any of their products. Oh well, maybe if enough people write them...however for now, straight produce there is probably... -
Hey Thanks!!! Hadn't heard of them before, this is great.

ARCHIVED Duncan Hines Homestyle Frosting
Jennas-auntie replied to jenvan's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
The original story earlier this year was that Duncan Hines stated to Clan Thompson that they were no longer gluten-free (they added barley malt to the Homestyle Frostings). Then after noticing that they weren't stating barley malt, CThompson recontacted them and were told that they had reformulated it again and were again gluten-free. So some products... -
ARCHIVED I Made Jelly Donuts ( Sufganiyot ) For Chanukah!
Jennas-auntie replied to hineini's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Wow that looks great. I've never seen a gluten-free recipe for jelly doughnuts-I'll have to try these out soon! Thanks, this is definitely on my list to try. -
ARCHIVED Bakclava-first Try Gluten Free
Jennas-auntie replied to Jennas-auntie's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Aw you're too kind-Momma Goose said she wanted to know how it went-I can see why they recommend doing it in 2 8x8 pans rather than a 9x13, it's hard to get dough big enough in the right shape for the 9x13. The dough recipe asks for milk but I bet you could use a milk replacer of some kind. When I try it again I'm going to try the sryup recipe topping from...
