My husband bought me a big bag of the pamela's bread mix and flour blend instead of the pancake and baking mix i am used to.

just curious but can the bread mix be used for banana bread, or muffins, or pancakes like the other mix? im happy either way because im gonna have bread!! but its an awfully big bag >_>

Flavored chex mess with me pretty bad...

but without a product name/info of the rice noodles no way to say for sure that it couldnt be them... could even be both

there are a number of things that could have gone wrong...

1.)her ingredients could have had gluten or been contaminated from the other gluten containing things in that kitchen

2.)she could have put your cookies on the same baking sheet without thinking about it

3.)the utensils may not have been cleaned as thoroughly as is necessary. if she used wooden spoons cleaning is not effective in removing gluten and so would contaminate you regardless

4.) could be CC just from flour in the air, on her hands, etc.

this is a risky business. its nice for others to offer because it definitely doesnt happen often but from now on recommend she bake cookies for you at YOUR house (maybe have a bake day together!-that'd be fun) that way your stuff is not CC'ed and you can have an eye on things

i would be angry too! you have every right to confront her (and the principal since it looks like that will be necessary). make sure she knows the severity of it! surely she doesnt want him to feel left out

Dairy and cheese are safe for many celiacs though if you have had many GI symptoms, you may need to give it time before they are okay for you. i was diagnosed in aug of 06 and in december i tried dairy again successfully...

if you have problems with dairy then you can narrow it down to a lactose issue or a casein issue.

oats are safe if they are certified gluten free, as previously stated, some can tolerate, some can't. i can and have no problems

MSG is one of those things that is gluten free but som people still have issues. i cant have any.. even a small packet of ranch dressing with MSG will have me sick for the rest of the day.... again, you may have to try and see for you.

eggs should be safe, if you get sick from them, its probably an egg allergy

rice and potatoes (as well as every other fresh vegetable and fruit) are completely safe. for packaged rice and potato dishes the ingredient list should always always always be checked.

wheat and related grain flours are unsafe. a few of the safew flours include: rice flours, potato flour, tapioca flour/starch, corn starch, corn meal, sorghum (tolerated by many celiacs), bean flours, millet flour, buckwheat (sounds misleading but it is not related to wheat).... there are many others.... im sure someone will add to this!

hope some of this helps

deboles noodles will work as well for lasagna

you could bring a warm side dish or there are many different desserts that are very easy to make gluten free. i make a chocolate cheesecake that is soooo good. it doesnt have anything very different in it except tapioca starch. i cruch up cookies and mix with butter for the crust

give these a shot! i havent tried these yet but pamela's mix has never disappointed me...(and the pic looks delicious)

hope this helps let us know how your cookies turn out

is there one thing in particular you have been eating? say m&ms or a certain brand of chocolate chips.

if you have tried many different chocolates with the same reaction then maybe chocolate is a no go, but i have had semi sweet carob chips and they are a pretty good sub, texture is different but we gluten intolerant! so qwe're used to it right? lol. i only used carob for a while then gave choc another shot with success. you might try using dark chocolate to see if it gives you the same issues

I am allergic to MSG along with my gluten intolerance. I was eating cape cods chips for a while because there website declared them to be gluten free. some flavors would give me horrid stomach pains while others were perfectly fine. then i read on this forum that autolyzed yeast was another word for MSG...so now i have another word to look out for during reading labels...

ive also been gotten by Carrabas chicken caesar salad.. off the gluten free nenu...

I wrote them as well... I have a neice who may have celiac disease and then there are all these others kids that i hear about on here and that i have seen back in my hometown. i think if general mills pulled it off why cant Girl Scouts? i would love to be able to buy cookies from them again! the only thing i worry about is their being able to safely bake and manufacture them... but it is most certainly worth a shot!

did anyone see her bread baking experiments?! she baked in her crockpot!! i am SO going to have to try that... just like she said. for the neatness factor haha

i buy bob's red mill. they are my favorite oas ever (including my pregluten free days when i used quaker). I made no bakes a few months ago with them and found myself just putting an or two in my mouth raw here and there. good flavor and they are nice and thick which makes for chewy granola bars or oat cookies:)

Hot Weather Potato Salad

Ingredients

3 lbs red potatoes, bite size pieces

1 small red onion

1 (2 1/4 ounce) can black olives, drained

2 cups tomatoes, bite size pieces

1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil

2 tablespoons italian seasoning

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon ground pepper

found this one on recipezaar.. it looks easy enough and is naturally gluten free

maybe tmi lol but maybe you'll be more comfortable talking about it. bm talk is not uncommon around here

before gluten-free days i would go once a week max for a while, then followed by D for a couple days. then i might have "regular days" for a week or so... but i would always go back to not having any set schedule.

after having been on the gluten-free diet for a while now and feeling very good.. i have some semblance of normal. i can go almost every day and it is no longer a toss up between C or D. i never knew i was irregular before i figured out what regular felt like

but i think normal for you might be a good description. it shouldnt be difficult or painful to go at all...

i never heard if it before today. is it like a database or more like a blgsite?

the trick is to keep reminding yourself that it will NOT be worth it. and then if at all possible you sould try to give yourself a gluten free equivalent. if you're a picky eater (like me) this may not work every time because sometimes "its just not the same" and that isnt good enough lol. when i first went gluten-free that is what i was saying all the time. i kept craving poptarts so when i created the closest gluten-free recipe i could find i was so disappointed lol

but anyways my point is keep at it. and it will get easier. if you give in you will first off be in pain if you have symptoms that many of us two, and two it may give you even more cravings. stay vigilant and keep posting for support when you can. luck!

When i first got married (only a few months ago) i made only a couple things and mixed them up every week.

one was pretty basic and is extremely easy. make a hamburger patty and pit it on a big square of aluminum foil. then slice up veggies. it was usually onion, potatoes, carrots, green beans, corn and/or peas. also you can put seasoning directly on the meat. then put it in the oven at 400 for about 45 min to an hour. you can make two or three and have two leftover meals. they take very little prep time but the cooking time is a tad long

we also had a spaghetti or alfredo night, then one day maybe chicken breasts ligtly seasoned with mashed potatoes and mixed veggies. also nachos were a good one. cook chicken or meat and season and then add beans and cheese and put it on corn chips or tortillas. we alsways had leftovers for hubby to take to work for two more days

there are sandwiches, you can make homemade granola bars for snacks. the options are limitless!

campbells has a safe list posted on their website. i would google "campbells gluten free" and see what links show up

I did the same thing with lasagne noodles very recently! it was my first time to make lasagne without my momma there. i didnt even consider the fact that she usually covers the whole top of hers with more red sauce... and since it almost always spills out i decided i would rather have an easier clean up than extra red sauce so i skipped the top layer of sauce.... and the top layer of noodles was almost completely unedible. here and there were pieces that had somehow been covered with sauce upon being put in the oven but most of the top layer was peeled off and discarded. and i know for next time!

I react to MSG every time i have ever eaten anything with it listed on the ingredients. it isnt quite the same as a gluten reaction which is why im not worried that i made with gluten. i think i just cant tolerate it for some other reason... maybe you cant either? if you have reacted to it that is. it IS possible

Outside of fresh fruits and vegetables and meats what are you eating? has your kitchen been completely wiped clean of gluten? meaning you should have rid it of: wooden utensils and citting boards, toasters having been used for gluten breads, porous pans such as cast iron and non-stick. you should make sure if you are in a shared container you are using separate butter, peanut butter, etc. as people usually are not careful to prevent crumbs. and if they try to be, they can sometimes contaminate without meaning too and without realizing. let us know what your diet consists of and what your kitchen looks like and i'll bet someone on this forum can offer an educated opinion!

this thread is kind of old.. but i had one to share!

i decided earlier in august that i was going to make some biscuits and gravy for my hubby beofre he got home from work ( he usually gets home around 8am or so). anywyas i decided to use what was left of my regular bleached wheat flour since he hardly ever gets wheat products at home and its just sitting there. so anyways needless to say i was very distracted the whole time trying to make sure that flour didnt fall anywhere i couldnt easily clean. anyways i somehow managed to accidentally turn my stovetop on instead of the oven and laid my plastic mixing bowl on the burner. im putting flour in and baking soda... and i start smelling hot plastic, almost like a hot glue gun. i look in the oven... and then pick up the mixing bowl and the flour starts pouring out of the bottom of it. the burner had burned little rings in it... it was sooo funny... well now its funny. at that moment i saw absolutely no humor in it whatsoever. when my husband got home he saw the holy bowl in the trash and was laughing hysterically at my expense.

but he didnt get any biscuits either so serves him right!

this thread made my day, im glad i found it

i know this may seem obvious... but:

When you called did you confirm that it was indeed a gluten free pasta that you were ordering? if so, then yes i would call because they did something wrong and they should know before it happens to someone else. you could also inquire aboutn the handling, cooking, delivery etc. where cross contamination is VERY likely

have you tried any other brand of oats? i get bob's red mill whole grain rolled oats (gluten free labeled of course).

also how long have you been gluten free? i was pretty sick before i got diagnosed and the first time i tried oats i got sick. i waited a couple years until i was feeling 100% and tried them again. now i can eat them whenever i want so you could be intolerant, or if you were sick before you went gluten free, you may not be healed enough to tolerate them just yet...

i get the fatigue too! its starts about hlaf an hour to an hour after and lasts for DAYS. the lest time i got glutened it was on a monday...and i started working that friday and my head was still foggy from exhaustion. you definitely are not alone!
