Gluten free products cost alot. I did buy a breadmaker and make her gluten free bread but does anyone have any frugal hints for people that can't have gluten. She especially misses pizza. I do try to make a gluten free pizza for her but it doesn't compare to the pizza places. Does anyone have any good hints on gluten free cooking that is frugal too. Thanks.

I was making a big pot of beef stew, and when I was little, I used to *love* putting dumpling biscuits in my soup! Unfortunately, due to the Celiac diagnosis, I haven't had them in a while. So I went to the store determined to find a gluten free substitute, and I found Maple Grove Gluten Free Pancake and Waffle Mix. It's incredible! It's very similar to Bisquick - all you need is some butter and milk! You don't even have to form them into a ball - just drop pieces of the batter on a greased cookie sheet, bake at 450 degrees for about 8 minutes or until golden. Viola! A wonderful gluten-free biscuit. Drop in your favorite soup or eat plain. I can't wait to try out pancakes with this mix, since pancakes are one of the things that I've missed the most. It's amazing how you crave the simplest of things since going gluten-free! Hope this pointer helps those who don't eat wheat! :) Mon, 20 Apr 2009 13:13:17 GMT CrushThisCharade http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/2083142.aspx Does anyone have celiac disease-- If my lab results come back positive, what can I expect? Sun, 26 Jul 2009 21:46:37 GMT quita88 http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/2018364.aspx As chefs, my husband and I are surprised by the number of people who stay at the hotel where we work, who do not let us know that they suffer from this condition, or many others, for that matter. We always cater for any dietary requirement, but it makes it so much harder for us to provide our guests with what they need when they don't let us know in advance. Can you tell me why it is that people hide their dietary needs? Is it that they don't want to feel different from everyone else; that they don't want to make a fuss, or some other reason?

Has taking gluten out of your diet made you feel better? What is your favorite gluten free product? Sat, 12 May 2007 23:41:13 GMT FabGrandma http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/572309.aspx If so, what testing was done to determine your diagnosis? What were your symptoms? Are you gluten-free now? If so, how have your symptoms improved? I was diagnosed 4 months ago, after being diagnosed with anemia and chronic diahrea. I've been gluten-free ever since, and the anemia has improved slightly, while the diarhea has gone away completely. I'm interested in connecting with others who share this disorder/disease. Tue, 09 Jan 2007 11:01:18 GMT blueskies http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/1609247.aspx Well one year ago today the nurse called me up and told me that daughters blood work tested positive for Celiac Disease and that we needed to see a specialist. The reason I remember this is that this occured on daughters 13th birthday and now today is her birthday again and she is 14. So she has been gluten free for almost a year now. That anniversary happens in September because we had to wait for the endoscopy to be done first before going gluten free. So how long have you all been gluten free?? Thu, 17 Jul 2008 23:47:26 GMT Virgie60 http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/1573933.aspx I have Celiac Disease and can not eat anything with wheat, rye, barley or oats in it. This is a very challenging diet. because there is gluten hidden in a lot of products. Yesterday we had a picnic at church. They served hamburgers and hot dogs and a lot of side dishes. I took Jenny through the line and got her what she wanted and then went back and got a plate for myself. I got a hamburger patty and some lettuce and NO bun. That made some people look at me funny. I then got some fruit salad that I knew was safe for me to eat and asked about a couple of other dishes and had people say that it did not have wheat so I double checked and asked if there was flour in them. Why of course they did! Why is it that people do not know that flour is wheat? Like Duh! I then took my plate and sat myself down, rolled the hamburger patty up into lettuce and started eating. You would not believe how many people were staring at me because I made a wrap out of lettuce. Why you would think I was a side show freak or something. Well it was an adventure and one of the reasons why I do not eat out in public very often. Would you stare at someone if they were eating something that was different then what you eat or modified it to make it edible for themselves?

I had never heard of it and I just looked it up and it's not good. She has to be on a gluten free diet now. and they think it could be heriditary. She had surgery yesterday and she is only 4 years old. She has lost a lot of weight. only weighs 35 lbs right now. I really hope she gets better soon. Tue, 05 Dec 2006 14:45:09 GMT beautyoperater http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/1604329.aspx My 13 year old is having a birthday this week and we are trying to figure out what to do for a party. Can't go to Pizza Hut of course, can't go to McDonald's for chicken nuggets, so where to eat??!! My daughter is really great when it comes to the gluten free lifestyle but when it comes to eating out with friends it does get a little challenging. Especially since we live in a more rural area where they never even hear of Celiac Disease let alone have a gluten free menu. I suppose we will go out for ice cream. I would make food at home but she would like to go out. Any thoughts?? Any good cake ideas?? Thanks. Mon, 14 Jul 2008 22:10:30 GMT Virgie60
