    Happy birthday and may God bless you today!

    Orgran Gluten-Free All Purpose Flour. Use it IN PLACE OF regular flour. You just use the one flour - it is everything you need to substitute directly for reg. flour. It's the only flour I've found like that. Brown Rice Pasta. You can find more than just penne now, I always stock spaghetti and penne. Add olive oil to the boiling water, monitor closely...

    No, but if you are allergic to wheat that would come up. But you may not be, and allergy tests cannot identify autoimmune disorders. The only way to know if gluten is the culprit, if your tests came back negative, is success on a gluten-free diet. Good luck!

    I would suggest sending a letter to the teacher - something she can reference if she forgets or is confused. In your letter explain your child has a diagnosed condition and must avoid all of the following, then list out obvious no-nos. Be sure to outline likely scenarios - like birthday cake in the classroom for some child's birthday. Maybe you can keep...

    The weight loss thing may be an indicator, because your body cannot absorb nutrients and basically starves itself. However, because of this same reason, you can end up with a severely distended stomach and not lose weight - just look puffy everywhere. For years we always thought my dad was overweight with a big belly. As soon as he went gluten-free, he...

    Also you said you were craving it because you haven't had it in a while. If you haven't had McDonald's in a while, it is very very possible that part of your reaction is to just having McDonald's after not having it! Seriously - everything in McDonald's contains hydrogenated oil and it can make you very sick if your body has been "clean" of this type...

    Oh ya, they even have gluten-free BEER! I never drank beer to begin with but I thought that was pretty cool. Pizza and beer just like the normal folk.

    For St Louis folks, Caito's just went gluten-free! They just completed a training for the entire kitchen and all staff on cross contamination and received some kind of accredidation/certification for doing so. I saw it in a national newsletter of restaurants that have done it. I went to try it last week and was seriously impressed. The pizza (we got...

    I share symptoms with most already posted, with a few exceptions. Also my symptoms start within the hour usually, or sometimes after 2 hours. The "tummy rumblings" begin probably after 30 minutes but after an hour or two I'm really feeling awful and I'm certain it was gluten and not something else. Exceptions for myself from what people posted: --I...

    See the thread I started by looking at "new posts" - same issue!!

    Hey Karrin, let us know how this ends up because I have a pregnant girlfriend and she had spotting/clots almost EVERY month so far and she always goes in to the dr. panicked and she's just fine. She's about 7 months pregnant right now and still has bleeding issues but the baby is fine. Be sure first!! You might still be ok - I'm being a Positive Pam here...

    You may have gotten a false positive if you were tested (?), I can't even eat peanuts that say "manufactured on shared equipment with wheat" or I get violently ill. If I were to even eat bread in moderation I would swear I was dying. I took a bite of a bratwurst last month (no bun obv.) and swallowed it before I realized it tasted like pure beer - sick...

    Double ditto. I was glutened yesterday - ohhh the trauma - and I forced myself to the gym (I would normally go, but all I wanted to do was go home and cuddle with my puppy) and I felt better at the end. I was totally spaced out, my fiance is a trainer there and he was having trouble getting me to focus for more than a second, he had to lighten all of...
  14. TiffLuvsBread
    YES I haven't felt it for the last month since going on the gluten-free diet. When starting gluten-free I felt completely better almost immediately. I'm talking the next day, in terms of all pain and gas and restroom issues as well. But I was sick all weekend from being glutened and the discomfort on the left definitely returned and I still feel it right...

    Hi Everyone, I have seen some people comment about this in unrelated threads but I would like to try to get a bit deeper on this and have it's own thread, because what other people were saying piqued my interest as I never assumed it might be linked to gluten before. On my left side (like actually my side, not just the side of my stomach), I sometimes...

    Do you use powder or liquid? You can just do a "rule of thumb" conversion and make with your regular recipes, this is what is typically true: 1 cup of sugar would be about a teaspoon of stevia, whether liquid or powder 1 tablespoon of sugar would be 1/4 of a teaspoon or 6-9 drops of liquid stevia 1 teaspoon of sugar (which I doubt will be called...

    Would your friends still tell you to quit whining if he had a peanut allergy??? No, they would not. It is the same thing (in terms of not being able to eat it without a physical reaction) and that is all that matters! Good luck and keep your head up, if anything for his sake. He doesn't need to know anything is "wrong" with him, because he will grow...

    Mama Goose - dang that cookie cake business you concocted sounds out of control! What a brilliant idea! I may have to steal that, if I ever find an excuse to bake sweets again before another birthday or something ;o) I have to just say, I made the devil's food cake for my fiance's birthday, and it must have been the most moist and delicious thing that...

    I don't touch anything with that label right NOW because I'm only in week 4 of being gluten-free and I'm trying to be as strict as possible so I can be certain what gives me troubles and what does not. I want to introduce things on purpose only. In a few days when I start introducing things back into my diet (which I am NOT looking forward to, but have...

    Well, this is weird, is there really a connection with this and Celiac!? I went through a phase, up until a few years ago when it really started to calm down, where I would faint doing anything - standing, kneeling in church, trying on clothes at the mall with my girlfriends, it was horrible. Every time I would faint everyone told me I "shook all over...
  21. TiffLuvsBread
    oh my gosh and personal pizzas! I don't charge for my ideas. Today, apparently.
  22. TiffLuvsBread
    What a super idea! Please open one in St Louis! I agree that all bread should be gluten-free, and you could have a really cute name about it, and people who are Celiac will LOVE you and be incredibly loyal, and others who don't know much about it will just think you are health food, organic, what have you, and they will want to try your sandwiches ...

    Oh, and also yogurt. Yogurt is good. I eat plain Greek yogurt - Fage is my favorite, but sometimes you will see me having a flavored one from Trader Joe's or Yo-Plus from Yoplait, clearly marked Gluten Free.
  24. TiffLuvsBread
    NO, you CANNOT! And your detox diet is no good either. Having just fruits and vegetables means you are having all fiber and zero protein. Protein is very very important for your health - and also partially why you lost so much weight. Protein feeds your muscles. If you completely stop eating it, your muscles start to break down and deteriorate and hence...

    No, no, DO eat with the skin, she was saying if you ARE already eating the fruit with their skin on and you are having a constip. problem, then you might need a gluten-free fiber product to get the amount you need in addition to all of this. You are doing it right - just give yourself some time and maybe you will need an additional fiber product. Going...
