  1. Happy birthday and may God bless you today!

  2. Thank you for the feedback, and the sympathy. Vitamin E, huh?! That is in their lotions too. One more reason to pass them on to a new home. I really need to re-educate myself on ingredients to be on the lookout for. I was gluten free for about a year in '06 to '07. I am finally coming to terms with the fact that this is a REAL problem, and I have to stop...
  3. I have been gluten free for a few months now, and just a week ago started on an elimination diet. I am not eating anything that could cause intolerance issues. My system was just so overloaded, I needed to do something more, that I am pretty certain I have other intolerances. Tonight, before going to bed, I slathered on my favorite Bath and Body Works...
  4. You guys are the best! Thanks a bunch for all the great help with this! flagbabyds: Thanks for the tip. I did see brown rice flour at the store and almost got that instead. I will do a search too, but does anyone know of any cc issues with Hodgson Mills? That is the brand of brown rice flour my local grocery store carries. According to their website...
  5. Hi Gin! It is a wonderful pasta that is gluten-free and made in a dedicated facility. Really awesome stuff. Open Original Shared Link
  6. Thanks Fiddle-Faddle! Hmmm...cornstarch huh? Not a bad idea. I wonder if it would be too much in my recipe though, I use 6 Tbsps flour. Should I use the same ammount cornstartch? OMG, Tinkyada is the BEST! I am so greatful for the stuff. DH and I have it almost every night as a side with dinner and have been for quite some time. We both actually...
  7. I made an awesome mac & cheese tonight using Tinkyada. My recipe calls for flour. I used Bob's Red Mill gluten-free All Purpose Baking Flour. It really tasted great, but my tounge/mouth feels funny now. I looked at the package and saw that it does contain tapicoa flour. I have read about people having this problem with that. So, my question is does...
  8. Just wanted to add a quick update to this. I did hear back from the company that produces the dessicant canisters. They were fantastic and very detailed in their response to me - very quick too. They don't use gluten in ANY of their processing whatsoever and their production facility is gluten free too. So, I guess that bring me back to something in...
  9. I assume your post is directed at Courtney and not myself. I did mention above how I used to suffer from rebound headaches and yes, they are nasty lil buggers. However, I have never had a rebound headache cause symptoms like I had been glutened. I agree with Francine that with the digestive issues it is something more. My migraines have also all but disappeared...
  10. I did get an email back from Bristol-Myers today that did verify that the Excedrin line is gluten free. I sent back a very polite inquriy explaining how I got sick recently and asking if there is any chance of cc. I did let them know too that I am willing to consider the possibility that I have a sensativity to something else in Excedrin as well. We will...
  11. Will do Courtney! Have you thought of the possibility that you are having rebound headaches? They are caused from taking a mass quatity of otc meds and can often be worse than the migraines! I used to suffer from these and started to go med free and suffer through my migraines for a bit. I was also taking Relpax which worked great for me but I ran out...
  12. No, I don't think it is the caffeine. I have black and green tea with caffeine all the time and it doesn't do the same thing to me. I don't know, but it is weird and I sure hate to feel this way. I was also wondering if it may be some sort of cc at their facility.
  13. According to the delphi forums product list that I have all varities of Excedrin have been verified gluten free. Of course that was on 5/9/02 and things can change in 4 years. Well, Saturday night I was at a friends house and was getting a migriane. I didn't want to have to leave early because I was having too much fun. I took some Excedrin Migraine. Not...
  14. hineini: Thanks for the input. lpellegr: Thank you too. That is good to know!
  15. Wow - those look great and what a great price for them too! Thanks so much. I will be getting them very soon and then maybe finally going to that Indian restaurant. Thanks for the article too, it was full of great suggestions.
  16. Thanks. I was thinking about this too, but I was worried that there would be too much of a language barrier at this place for them to understand. I have seen 1 card online, can you point me in the direction of the cards you use? Thanks again!
  17. Thank you for your reply! That is what I figured, but man, I am still such a baby and sooo nervous about eating out. I talked to my friend and we opted to meet at Panera. I am going to bring a Larabar to much on and get myself a cuppa tea. I just have so much going on this week, I can't afford to get sick.
  18. Hi everyone! Since going gluten free a little over 2 months ago I have not ventured out to eat. I am getting together with a friend for lunch tomorrow and she wants to do Indian. Do you guys have any tips on what I can safely order? I am so terrified to get sick. Would I be better off trying to find a place that I can just get a green salad from...
  19. Thanks for the recomendation. I will have to look into one of those. Aren't they expensive? Yes, I am sure they are more than worth it thought!
  20. Another O Negative here.
  21. Very interesting. I have TMJ! Who knew this could be a symptom too. Boy - will I ever be glad when that goes away/improves!
  22. Yup - this happens to me ALL the time! It is always because I ate/used something I am allergic to. I have had it happen from makeup, Pizza Hut Pizza Sauce (a long time ago), and various other things. It is always on my bottom lip and always on the same side for me too! My lip will actually swell up a bit too. Just this bump on the inside and a bit on the...
  23. There is a great company called Method who's products are all-natural, and biodegradable. I love all of their products and use most of them in my home. When I decided to go gluten free I emailed them to find out if their stuff was ok. I got the nicest response ever from them and was assured that they don't use gluten in ANY of their products. They make...
  24. Thanks! I do feel like I have a good handle on this. Between my friend and this site I have just learned so much! Thanks for the tip too! I have been following South Beach since the end of March. That is how I lost the weight. So typcial foods for me are lean meats, LOTS of veggies, fruit, some cheese, dairy, grains (gluten-free ones now). I don't eat...
  25. Thanks for the tip. No Wegman's here - not sure where the closest one is. I do make periodic voyages to Trader Joe's and Whole Foods though.
