  1. I just wanted to leave an update. I did go to the doctor today. I was monitored for 5 hours and had a ton of tests run. Everything with the baby is fine. I was having mild contractions but I'm not in pre-term labor. The doctor said I either have a virus, or my pains are because of the gluten I ingested. Nothing for me to do except give it...
  2. Hello. I'm 6 months pregnant and I accidentally ate a stupid flour taco. Actually I only ate half of it before realizing what I was doing. Baby Brain strikes again. But now in addition to the massive headache I've had for 2 days, that Tylenol barely even helps, I'm having stomach pains. My OB doctor isn't very familiar with Celiac, so he is worthless...
  3. I have gone through my 5th or 6th stage of denial. There are times that I still think... "it won't hurt me..." I've been gluten-free for 6 years now, with only an occasional accidental gluten intake. Those few times have reminded me why I don't want to eat it. I spent too many years of my life feeling like crap and not knowing why, or thinking it was normal...
  4. Yes, these are wonderful! My local grocery store has carried them for a while and I hadn't tried them until recently. I don't know what I was waiting on??
  5. Cinderella AND gluten-free bread! What could be better? It's nice to hear a happy story. Thanks for sharing.
  6. Sometimes the humidity outside can even effect rising. If it's raining or really sticky hot outside I don't even bother baking. As for your beater type, more air in the batter would help.
  7. Try some crystalized Ginger. Just a tiny bite. It's a natural way to help nausea. I use it for motion sickness even and it's safe for pregnant women. Also, peppermint. Either peppermint tea or peppermint candies, both help with nausea. Good luck. Sending happy thoughts your way.
  8. With this cold weather I'm having, now I'm craving soup! Thanks guys for this suggestion. I'm off to the store to try one of these out.
  9. That's easy... Cheese-stuffed Crust Pizza Hut Pizza. Darn you for making me drool about this. Now I have to go make my own pizza for dinner.
  10. Bleu cheese is sometimes made with bread molds... but not all of them. The trouble is finding out exactly how that particular bleu cheese is made. Unless you can get ahold of the maker, I would avoid the stuff.
  11. I think IBS is over-diagnosed. Doctors usually look for the quick fix that makes their patients have to take a pill or come back to their office over and over again. Treating Celiac means that the doctor won't see you anymore because if you're eating properly, you're fine and they don't get more money out of you.
  12. I'm not pregnant now but want to start trying in a few months. I wonder if prenatal vitamins have enough Vitamin D in them or if I need to supplement? I've put off having kids for so long because I'm scared about everything that can go wrong (I'm 32). Add this to the pile of my 'things to worry about'.
  13. This article was apparently screaming my name this morning. The past 2 nights I haven't been able to sleep. I was accidentally glutened this past weekend and still suffering. I know that most people with Celiac tell me they sleep too much or always feel tired. My mom is that way. But for me, it's the opposite. I've always had trouble sleeping and when...
  14. OH my goodness. That's horrible. I would have yelled back at him too. People should know better. I hope you go back next time, not being glutened, and knock 'em dead.
  15. Yay! Congratulations! It's not easy, but I'm sure you feel soo much healthier. Good luck to making it to year 2 and 3 and 4 and.....
  16. OH yes... she has apologized profusely and thanked me a million times. I have also told her that I won't be able to help her ever again with that sort of thing. She understands. I'm feeling a bit better today. Positive attitude and happy thoughts are pushing me onward. Thanks for listening.
  17. My friend needed some serious help making cupcakes. I volunteered because she had no one else and this is a very good friend of mine. We baked regular wheat-containing cupcakes for 5 hours! I made sure not to put my hands in my mouth or breathe too deeply when mixing the flour. But today I'm sick. I haven't felt this bad in a LONG time. Stupid...
  18. This is the best explanation I have ever seen! It definitely helps explain that people are all different, but still the same. Thanks for this.
  19. Ahhhh, ok thanks. I'll see what I can find. I also saw that someone suggested molasses... that sounds amazing too. That I definitely have! YUM.
  20. What is Lyle's Golden Syrup? Is that a corn syrup or some sort of maple syrup? Cookies look delicious, but I don't know what to buy so that I can make these.
  21. For years my mother had to call off work due to un-diagnosed Celiac related issues. She was threatened by her boss that if she called off one more time she would be terminated... so when a week later she had a migraine, couldn't leave the bathroom and was hallucinating she was fired. Thank heavens that happened because then she moved to Cincinnati and was...
  22. OH my goodness... I didn't even know about National Celiac Day! Thank you for posting with that title. As for the PF Chang menu, that's great news too. Their food is amazing. Thanks again.
  23. There are sooo many amazing meals you can make that are gluten free your entire family will enjoy. I have celiac and my husband does not, but he never complains about my cooking. If you think about it from a health perspective, your family doesn't need to eat macaroni and cheese and all that bleached processed flour bread anyway. Think of this as a...
  24. I have been eating gluten free for 5 years now and sometimes I still break down into tears when I am surrounded by people eating pizza or muffins. I feel soooo much better that I do not eat that nasty gluten, but still can't help myself sometimes. Go ahead and get it all out, but remember that it's ok to cry as long as you know that you ARE GOING to FEEL...
  25. Oh goodness, that's scary. I hope those chips are fine because I eat them ALL the time!
