I can't find my friend who follows the diet online but I think this is one of the websites she uses http://www.pecanbread.com It's for the SCD (specific carbohydrate diet) developed for celiac's disease and helps heal the intestines.

Hi Sarah (and all!)
My three children and I are all gluten intol. I was the first to find out a little over a year ago, about a week before my birthday. In leiu of a cake, I got a hershey bar  . Then I found Wegmans (move over disneyworld, its the happiest place on earth!). I echo a lot of the suggestions of companies that were listed, but here are some of my suggestions, too:
Tinkyada makes the best pasta-- just don't over cook and its no good reheated
Cherrybrook Kitchen makes fantastic gf cake and cookie mixes
Bob's Red Mill Homemade Wonerful GF Bread Mix is the best GF bread I've ever had.
Glutino makes good pretzles and bagels. The bagels are frozen, and I suggest that you slice them into three parts b/c they can get really dry, but smothered in butter or cream cheese . . . yummmy!
I also put together my own GF all purpouse flour (from Celiac.com)
2 1/2 C brown rice flour
2 C White rice flour
3/4 C plus 2 Tbs tapioca flour
3/4 C plus 2 Tbs potato starch
1/2 C corn starch
2 TBS xantham gum
I use this to make everything from scratch (waffles, toll house cookies)-- just add a little milk or rice milk in the recipe to give it a little moisture (GF foods get a bit dry).
As for receiving the Eucharist, I completely understand. I've still been receiving the Host, not wanting to "put out" my pastor or have to go up to the alter to receive. At our parish, they only distribute the Host, so I would have to go up to the alter before the distribution of communion. I've spoken to my pastor about this and he's very supportive of this, he just asked that I stop by and mention to him on the way into Mass that I was here and needed to receive in the special chalice where he won't put a piece of the Host into it. That means I have to get my act together and get us to Mass on time!

(sorry I kept misspelling altar . . .  )
Anne,
Please don't feel bad about approaching your priest about this! I know a priest who has a friend who is a celiac, and he gave her a small chalice for Christmas one year, explaining what to say when she approached any priest regarding receiving communion.
Also, our Holy Father wrote on this subject about ten years ago-- I can't find the actual letter any more, but this explains the content (I haven't read this one fully, so I hope its all good . .. sorry I don't know how to do links, but here's the link to the letter:)

Hope this helps!
Anne (ps-- nice nate  and it has to have an "e", right!

Since we have no bread, noodles and pasta and rice are my son's usual starches to go. I pack leftover chicken/beef/whatever with some leftover rice or noodles.
The trick to getting the pasta to taste okay the second or third day is to rinse very well after draining. Then add olive oil to the pasta and lightly coat everything.
I can put in a serving bowl and microwave for 1-2 minutes on high to reheat, since when I rinse the noodles turn cold.
The next day I can reheat in the microwave. To a single serving, add margarine or butter for a little taste if you're not adding gravy (or not), then dampen a paper towel and cover the bowl and cook for 30 seconds on high. The dampened cloth steams the noodles and doesn't dry them out.
It sounds like a huge amount of steps writing it, but it really is easy.

Hi Sarah,
One more thought for your friend-- one of the not so great side effects re: being gluten free for women . . . ya gain weight. Great for my skinny little 3 year old, not so great for his mamma . . .
I don't know, something about being healthy and actually absorbing the food you eat, blah blah blah . . .

In case anyone is still reading this thread...
I went to a talk on living gluten free by a nutritionist last night and he said that the gluten free industry is booming. It is growing by leaps and bounds with about 2 new companies coming into business weekly. He said that Super Target will be introducing a gluten free line soon and that the Super Walmarts have already done so. This should bring the prices down some. He also said that all labels will be listing gluten as one of the allergens on all food labels by mid 2008. This is great news and will make life a bit easier for all of us with this sensitivity. I am excited!!!
Anne
