    Nancy Baker has just released a revised edition of Globally Gluten-Free (2006 edition). She is the wife of a diplomat and has recipes from around the world - french, spanish, greek to name a few. She and her son are Celiacs. Open Original Shared Link I think you can download an electronic version if that interests you.

    I do this too - but we buy the Kraft Dinner boxes and dump out the bad noodles but keep the sauce packet. I don't think they sell the sauce mix separtely in Canada... Does anyone know where to get it online? Until then, I watch for sales and throw out a lot of boxes and noodles! mamatide

    I'll answer my own post for those of you who might be interested. I emailed the Halifax chapter of the Celiac Association and here's the response I received: Hi! We have some great gluten friendly restaurants in the Halifax area. CHIVES Restaurant on Barrington Street will do a gluten free for you. Sticks Eatery in the Hydrostone area (off Young...

    I looked back on this board and see Swiss Chalet as a suggestion. Anyone know of any other places that are Celiac-Friendly? Thanks in advance... mamatide

    I guess I would have brought a pasta salad made with Gluten-Free pasta and never said a peep - and then made sure that I was the first to serve myself at the buffet so that I'd have something safe for me to eat (that I knew was prepared with the utmost care). I don't know that I'd have said anything at all about it otherwise. Hope you were able to enjoy...

    I never thought that lactaid would help. I buy the milk with lactose removed (as opposed to the treated kind) because I thought it would be easier to digest than treated milk. She certainly has absolutely no trouble with the lactose-free milk. It's just that it's not as readily available say when we're travelling (and we travel a fair bit). Perhaps a...

    I've felt this. My DD was in daycare for her first three months of gluten-free life. I had a talk with the Director and provided them with some literature. There is an information sheet on nih that someone posted from her - if you google NIH and Celiac you'll get it. It's for anyone unfamiliar with Celiac Disease and impresses upon them the importance...

    Thanks Paulina and the others who were kind enough to give me some constructive advice. We tested for lactose intolerance when we were testing for Celiac disease and she is not lactose intolerant in the traditional sense. I see no reason to eliminate it completely from her diet and have not - allowing only hard cheeses and yogurt and lacteez milk with excellent...

    My daughter has been gluten-free since April 1st and is doing wonderfully. She eats gluten-free and also consumes low-lactose dairy - hard cheese, yogurt mostly. For drinkable milk she was drinking Lacteez (milk with lactose removed - not the medicated kind) and was just fine (no bloating, no crazy weird stools, happy, everything was great). About 6...

    I like the Blue Diamond Nut thins: Open Original Shared Link They're pretty widely available, considering I can get them where I live There are several flavours. The plain and cheddar cheese are good. I'd love to find the smoke house ones.

    EEK! I just scoured the King Arthur Flours website and don't see this pan! Can you post a link for me? Has anyone developed a frosting (filling) recipe that would rival a twinkie's? mamatide

    Hi Sarah, You asked about kids' lunches. We've been gluten-free since the beginning of the school year. Like you, we have had little success with sandwich breads that actually taste good (my bread only tastes good as toast), so we make our own "lunchables" (you know those pre-fab cheese/crackers/meat/chocolate bar things) - I buy gluten-free crackers...

    When we were growing up, we'd eat a lot of minute rice. My step-mother would substitute clamato juice, V8, tomato juice or orange juice for the water (maybe half of the water replaced I'd say). I remember quite enjoying the orange rice when I was a kid. Not sure how it would work with regular long grain rice but might be fun to try out. I'll have...

    I've made this before (sorry to butt in): Wrap canned water chestnuts in bacon and bake at high heat or under broiler until bacon is crispy. Meanwhile in a casserole dish mix equal parts (1 cup each of) ketchup, miracle whip and brown sugar. Heat sauce in the microwave. Put the bacon-wrapped cooked water chestnuts into the sauce and return...

    Me. I do. I have a finger where I get these things that are itchy and sore and you can squeeze them and liquid comes out but it's not like a pimple. It's like a blister. I asked the pharmacist about it and he said it looked like eczema so I tried my daughter's eczema cream on it which works in a couple of days. The cream is called Elidel. I wonder...

    For those who might be interested in ethnic recipes, Nancy Baker has written a recipe book called Globally Gluten Free where she collected recipes from around the world in her capacity as a wife to a diplomat. She just released a second edition and I believe you can even get in electronically (as an e-book) for $10, or in print form. I've tried some...

    If it's only 3 weeks away I say wait and find out for certain. I had to wait 3 months just for bloodwork... consider yourself lucky it's so close. Gluten free for life is a big commitment and somewhere down the road (if you go gluten-free before biopsy and biopsy shows questionable results as a result) you may start to wonder if you really do have Celiac...

    I'll bet if you dropped some raw onion into a deep fryer they'd crisp up pretty quickly. If not you could coat them in cornstarch and try it that way. Good luck - I've never had a green bean casserole but have always wanted to try one! That and sweet potatoes with marshmallows on top - sounds so good! I guess it's not a Canadian tradition.

    I guess if I were to factor in the transition costs when our household went gluten free, our costs are/were very high. We tried all of the gluten-free substitutes out there and threw out a lot of them when we didn't like them, we purchased a few cookbooks, new flours, xantham gum etc., so that was expensive. But really we've been able to be gluten free...

    We were away and did eat out at a restaurant, but that was on Friday night. No symptoms at all until this afternoon, about an hour after she ate sushi. We had watched the lady prepare the sushi in the grocery store (do they soak that seaweed in something other than water???), and we used the gluten-free soya sauce, but less than an hour later WHAM. The...

    That was my first thought as well, since we don't allow crumby gluten (and hardly any gluten at all) into the house. I might say that her first suggestion was spot on... in a nice way. Good luck. It's tough sometimes. mamatide

    Me too. Exactly what you describe. I'm still undiagnosed but my 5yo is Celiac.

    I haven't tried it but that makes sense - when I get too much gluten in my system (I'm not diagnosed yet but am undergoing tests & my 5yo DD is Celiac) I get foggy and absolutely CRAVE coffee (and what it does for me). I don't stock Red Bull normally but will try it next time. mamatide

    I found this by googling "soy-free soy sauce" Open Original Shared Link Might work!

    Carol Fenster's Gluten Free 101 books says that to substitute for Xantham Gum you can use 50% more of Guar Gum. If you've been using a 1:1 ratio substitution this could explain it. mamatide
