I'll have to look into getting a coffee grinder, Kim. Thanks for the suggestion. Mrsd, Tinkyada pasta may be kind of difficult to find around here. We're what you might call "small town". The town where our local Walmart is just got its first traffic light! However, if we go to one of the larger towns, I'll definitely keep an eye open for it.
I'm getting really good at reading lables, y'all! Question- does "malt added", or "malt flavoring" mean barley? And isn't barley a no-no for us? I thought so, so I scrupuously passed up all of the rice cereal that listed malt. I finally found one that was popped brown rice. Showed my daughter and she said "Yuk!" But looks good to me! Thanks, Claire for the link to Red Mill flours. I may not be able to afford them, but if I get desperate I might splurge! Hugs,

Malt is gluten. Steer clear. That was one of the first mistakes I made.... buying wheat free cereal that had malt in it. The second one was a couple of those delicious Lindt chocolate bunnies. They have malt too. I had a migraine for a week. Hard to forget those kind of consequences. (That was four years ago now.)

Good for you! We have given up on boxed cereal for breakfast. We often have the following for breakfast:
kasha (toast 1/2 cup buckwheat groats in dry skillet, add 1 cup water, bring to boil and cook for 10 minutes or until boiled dry, add blackstrap molasses and a bit of soy/rice/almond/cashew/etc. milk!). cooked rice cereal (put 2.5 cups brown rice and 11 cups water in crock pot on low overnight. In the morning, stir in 1 cup liquid-of-your-choice, some cinnamon, raisins, and chopped walnuts. Let raisins plump, then serve. Top with maple syrup and a bit of milk-of-your-choice). chopped fresh fruit combined with chopped nuts, seeds, dried fruits cooked millet with frozen berries stirred in. shake (blend in blender: 6oz water, 6oz milk-of-choice, 1 orange, 1 banana, 2 TBS flax seeds) fruit smoothies ... |

So glad to see you here.
Just like to say that there is lots of good advice here, also if you look for health food stores in your area, lots of good stuff in there to eat. I think the best advice I got when I first started going gluten free was to find something you can have as a treat. ie cake, cookies, these things I craved, then I found a few reciepes and away I went. My husband also eats gluten free, which is really great. He says now that he prefers the way we eat now, and in fact finds that he doesn't even miss it. Isn't it amazing how your energy level goes up. Take care, Patricia |

the internet may be necessary for you, Lois.
I do grits for breakfast for hot cereal. You can add things, like honey, bacon etc..and it is quite good. After I went gluten free.. I found oatmeal very problematic. But I can do whole oats, granolas, the natural kind. I don't understand this myself. Gorilla Munch is gluten free, you can get it from Amazon.com http://www.amazon.com/EnviroKidz-Gor.../dp/B000FBL8FU Other flavors are there too! Even my son's cat eats it! Loves it, begs for it as a treat. They have started carrying at Kroger's too. Some local stores will special order things if you ask. Give that a try too. I am not a celiac..but just intolerant. After a while, I could use some things with malt in them..small amounts. People vary tho. With your MG, you may need strict observance and you may find an improvement with the MG over time, since it is autoimmune.

Great links.
I use Kinnikinnick bread and pancake mix alot. I am going to order it for delivery up North next year. My local store only carries the white bread. I'd like to try the dark with flax one. The pancake mix is really good. My son likes it best. It is not so heavy on the "corn" which seems common in others. And our store is often out of it. https://secure.kinnikinnick.com/inde...odcatid/5.html I don't eat enough bread to bake my own...so I prefer commercial ones. Maybe when I retire (finally) I'll give it whirl.

Thanks for the links! Mrsd, apparently I'm like you, just gluten sensitive, but not celiac. The results came in the mail today, negative for celiac. Now, does that mean that I definitely do not have celiac? (My MG is seronegative). If it's definitely not celiac, but just gluten sensitivity, does that mean I can very occasionally sneak in some gluten? I'm afraid to try it since the improvement has been so dramatic. No more diarrhea, no more cramps, no more gas than normal people have, no bloating, plus nowhere near as much fatigue as I was having. I feel like I've gotten my life back!
Hugs,
