Too bad you don't live in CA where Trader Joe's is a Celiac's BFF! Also too bad they don't have some kind of supplement for Celiacs like they do for Lactose Intolerance. I'm just sayin'.<br /><br />Sorry I forgot to warn you about SF being freeeeezing!

It makes me wonder...<br /><br />I made pizza at home last night with a homemade sauce and CAULIFLOWER crust! It was soooo good. My husband (who was very skeptical about the crust) loved it and said it was even better than real pizza crust! I thought it had maybe a bit too much cheese, but I will definitely make it again.Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10648005142462223746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6131409629757210790.post-77359061240873275992012-05-24T10:40:13.087-07:002012-05-24T10:40:13.087-07:00You have my deepest sympathy!

I'll try to get some info and websites from her because she's completely redone their food storage and things to be gluten (and everything else)free. Of course you may have a bunch of info since you're dad dealt with it. You can buy pizza crusts that are gluten free. She would get some of those then call Papa Murpheys and just buy the sauce and toppings from the pizza and make it at home. Probably not quite the same but better than having a last bite of Pizza. The worst thing is that you have to take all your own food to church activities/parties/friends houses, etc. The thing is, she didn't even mind eating gluten free because she felt so good once she'd stopped poisoning her body.S.P.

I always thought because I dont eat a lot of bread it wouldn't be hard, but I have a few friends who recently started GF diets because of diagnosis and I was telling one of them what we were having for dinners that week and I realized even w/ out bread there was at least one or more items in my dinners that had gluten. It's eye opening for sure. GOOD LUCK! :)Cranberryfrieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04384164423414892482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6131409629757210790.post-1467008779917885492012-05-23T17:28:25.409-07:002012-05-23T17:28:25.409-07:00Oh and P.S.

During that time, though, I went gluten free for a month and it was hard, but I managed and I felt great! I know I have an intolerance to it like Bree does (as well as dairy), but I haven't gone GF all the way since that month because I love bread so much. I hope it goes well for you and that you feel great because of it!<br /><br />PS--I love Bree's reaction. I can totally hear her say that too.Jenni Elysehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08403700912436098391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6131409629757210790.post-21636498130817593152012-05-23T16:37:58.488-07:002012-05-23T16:37:58.488-07:00Sara - the side effects can vary, depending on the...Sara - the side effects can vary, depending on the severity of the disease, from pain (light to severe) to actual starvation. With Celiac's the receptors in the intestines that pull nutrients from food become flattened and unusable when gluten is consumed.<br /><br />@BrodiAshton - So sorry to hear about this! I ate GF for two years, having been misdiagnosed with Celiacs. It's an adjustment, for sure, but it's not as difficult as it seems. Its actually not even as difficult as it used to be anymore with many restaurants and even airlines offering GF alternatives. Your mother is probably super well-versed in the ins-and-outs of Celiacs and will be an invaluable resource for you!<br /><br />I used to eat loads of Mexican (corn tortillas), rice, quinoa, grilled meats (no sauces unless you know they're GF). At places like Whole Foods Market you'll find great, GF flour and baking mixes. Bob's Red Mill GF flour mix is one of the best I found (flavor/texture-wise). You can eat oatmeal. (so long as it's processed in a GF plant). You can even find GF Soy sauce if you like Chinese food. PF Changs has a GF menu (made with GF soy sauce-- just REALLY stress that you need GF to the waiter because they aren't always very attentive). If you're super sensitive to Gluten, you may want to invest in a new set of cookware and NEVER cook with Gluten as trace gluten from what you used to cook can linger in cookware. There are pizza places that do offer GF pizza crust, but again, if you're super sensitive, the oven may give you problems. So if you must have pizza, buy or make a GF crust (or even an Anna's GF pizza) and make at home.<br /><br />You can do this! And you'll begin to feel better quickly!

Because supposedly my MIL has it, but she doesn't follow the diet. <br /><br />I'm sorry that of all the things your dad left you with, it was Celiac's. But I have to say, I think he left you with his big heart too. You are one of the nicest, funniest, most genuine people I have the privilege of knowing. I know that is not a funny or witty comment to make on your very witty blog, but it's true.Sara B.
