An Unmistakeable Journey

Spiced Nuts

For this recipe, I chose sliced almonds and chopped walnuts. However you can take your pick of nuts.   Nutmeg Star Anise Cinnamon Sugar Nuts 1/2 tsp butter   Coat pan with the butter then place nuts and spices (pinch of each) in. Cook on a low heat, stirring frequently so that nuts don't burn. Nuts are done when completely coated and spices stick to nuts. Very tasty! (Just be careful, the nuts burn easy)

Roasted Veggies - As Per Suggested By Cyclinglady

This was a very simple recipe to make, and it doesn't bother me at all.   1 large sweet potato - chopped into large pieces 2 standard size Idaho Potatoes - chopped into large pieces 1 beet - chopped into large pieces 1 handful baby carrots (or 2 whole carrots. You can add more if you like, but I'm not a huge fan of roasted carrots) Italian Seasoning Salt Garlic Powder (I don't eat pepper much any more, but you can always add pepper too)   Preheat oven to 425. Place veggies on cookie s

Just Beet It!

So what kid in their right mind is adventurous enough to WANT to try a beet, and if they do, what kid actually likes the weird looking root veggie? Not many are that brave, and I certainly wasn't. I was one of those kids who HATED textures and VERY picky about flavor. If it was bland, I didn't eat it, and if I didn't like the texture, GET IT AWAY! (Not much has changed in that regard to be honest - though I *HAVE* expanded my horizons by quite a bit.) As a kid, I ate 3 things... Potatoes, and a

Nomato Sauce Recipe

So I found an AMAZING tomato sauce recipe on the Food Network website... And it has NO TOMATOS so I guess it isn't really a tomato sauce but what the hey. Its very basic, but delicious. This is what it is as a FN forum member wrote it... (Well I paraphrased the instructions but shh)   6 carrots peeled and diced 1 small beet peeled and diced 1 large onion 3 celery ribs (stalks) 1 bay leaf 1 1/2 cups water   Put everything in a large pot, bring water to a boil, and then turn down to simme

Up The Mountain, And Out Of The Fog

I began my gluten free trek in about May of 2012. I did classic gluten free for a few months and then went grain free. Last November at about 6 months gluten free I had my first nutrient absorption test. In spite of my natural, whole food, organic diet, and many supplements my nutrient levels were low. Especially the Vitamin B levels were unacceptable. I felt rundown and foggy. I dragged myself through my days, Sometimes I felt better and sometimes really bad.   I knew I had to do something mo

My Bad List As Of Right Now

So far, I cannot eat the following -   Fish (I don't eat seafood either because a lot of people with fish allergies have shellfish allergies...) Dairy (Lactose intolerant, likely casein allergy/intolerance) Gluten (Intolerant, not Celiac) Rosemary (suspect its an allergy)   Tomatoes Chocolate Carob Ham Pepperoni Salami Lemon (and derivatives) Orange (and derivatives) Cranberry (and derivatives) Onion (powder seems to be better) Garlic (powder seems to be better) Chili powder

Spaghetti Sauce

Well it looks like I may have to learn to like beets... I've found a lot of 'Nomato' sauces. And they all include carrots and beets. Okay, I love carrots, no problem. But BEETS? Thought of them makes me shudder. Granted last time I was forced to eat them, I was really picky kid... so who knows, I may like them now. I guess I'll have to try them.   Not gonna lie though, this idea of 'Nomato' spaghetti sauce sounds pretty good, looking at all the recipes. I think I can come up with something alo

Mexican Food

Okay, so my mother in law recently made tacos for dinner. Now, this would be an easy dinner to modify to my problems. Just gimme the corn tortillas, meat, guacamole, and lettuce, and I'm good. However, one slight problem...I can't have the guacamole as my MIL makes it. Everyone in their house likes sour cream in their guacamole!   Gimme my straight avocados people! I would have said something, but it was a big party for my MIL/FIL's anniversary, so I felt really bad about it. So I had ve

Lunch Meat

So my all time favorite lunch meat is Ham... or rather WAS. Now, I've discovered that ham does me in. After eating it, my reflux/esophagitis acts up. Can't swallow very well, mostly is what happens when I eat it... Feels like its stuck in my throat.   Problem is, ham pretty much is my default lunch meat. I like sausages like salami or pepperoni too, but they are WAY too spicy. I HATE Turkey and chicken, way too dry. But ham... mmmmm. Not worth the inability to eat after though.   Howe

The Patient Celiac

Women With Celiac Disease, We Are Not Alone...

I have spent a good portion of this summer enjoying my time with my family, traveling, and not obsessing about celiac disease (which has led me to not write about it either!) Overall, I am comfortable with my gluten free household and life and have accepted my diagnosis. But, the other day, in part due to fatigue and in part due to accidentally eating a KIND bar with soy protein (soy is one of my other food intolerances and I feel like total garbage after eating it), I totally lost my calm.

Carob

So I understand things that make esophagitis act up can vary between different people. However there are items that seem to be a gold standard for almost everyone with the problem to avoid. Things like Tomatoes, Onions, Spicy, Lemons/Oranges and their corresponding juices, and even caffeine and chocolate. So I thought, well, I wanted to see if I could have my old go to when it came to chocolate. Carob. Love the stuff,honestly, and too me its really not that far off in taste from chocolate.

Vegan Not Really Vegan? Come On!

Frankly there should be a ban on labelling things vegan if they are made on shared equipment as non vegan food items. I bought some carob chips that had vegan written all over them. (Brand is Sunspire FYI). I swear I had read the allergen info at the store and saw no problem. But I also was tired and not feeling good, so it could easily have been one of those times when I saw, 'Vegan' and tossed them in the shopping cart. I don't honestly remember. Anyway, so today, I thought, well hey, I need

My Story (Gettng Diagnosed with Celiac Disease)

Gluten-Free Shopping and the New 'Normal'

Grocery shopping can be daunting to a new celiac and I think we could all use a little help. My help came in the form of a nutritionist. She gave me a page of ingredients that are gluten free ‘safe' foods and also ‘foods to avoid'. She told me to memorize these lists. At the time it seemed like an impossible task. To even learn how to pronounce some of these words seemed impossible. But memorize I did...eventually. I, like the nutritionist, believe in memorizing the list. Yes you do have to rea

Alcoholic Cheer

If ever I think I need some cheer, What I wouldn't give for an ice cold beer,   If i ever think I need to feel fine, It's alright I'll have a few glasses of wine,   But if I ever think that won't make me thin, it's okay I'll just drink a bottle of gin.   I'm not an alcoholic I promise, okay? But I need something stronger than coffee to start the day.

A Little Poem :)

Dear family and friends, if over I come, For a holiday visit, at your welcome, And we're seated 'round your lovely table, Please understand why I'm not able, To eat your many beautiful dishes, Despite your insistent, most earnest wishes. These dishes show your work and cheer, Some only made once a year, You must surely slave, hard and long, Over the oven, whistling your song, No doubt your recipes take many an hour, The finest ingredients, the best of flour. I really don't want, to p

I Just Came To Say Hello

So very recently I found out I have a gluten allergy and I'm already being mocked for it.   I'm being mocked for something my body has done of which I have no control over. In what world should that be right?   Anyway I don't feel like I should start venting yet but finding people on here a similar age to me (I'm 18) who can help me as a newcomer to the goodbyegluten club would be brilliant.   Do you want to know about me? If you don't I'd stop reading now.   So my name is Jordan I'm 18

I Need To Vent.

I think it's really sad, and I'm sure a lot of you would agree, that I am so elated to go back to college because I know people understand my needs there. This summer has been such a struggle being at home because my family just doesn't get it. I'm not sure they ever will. After being relatively gluten-free for over a year now I realize how much I was taking for granted when it comes to food.   This sounds a little silly, but food is amazing you guys. I mean, it gives us energy AND ta

Birthdays Are A Pain

So my brother turns 8 this month and I was pretty excited. Until I realized I'd be expected to bake his cake like I always have. It's not really a problem, but it's just depressing. Obviously mom doesn't want it to be gluten free because she thinks people will notice. No offense to my mother but I have mastered the gluten free baking technique. They wouldn't know. Why do I know this? Because my mom doesn't even notice   Anyway, I have to bake a brownie cake and then ice it and it's going to l

Its Not Easy Eating Clean... But Its Worth It.

As you may be aware, I've recently been diagnosed with reflux induced esophagitis. I've been on reflux meds for years, with the exception of when I was pregnant. So I figure its about time to change my diet. No one ever told me that there was a better diet for people with reflux, so I probably just aggravated my symptoms. Looking back, most of the things that bothered me most when I was pregnant are on the reflux no-no list. Now with my esophagitis, I did a little research, and decided its about

5 Lbs In One Week? Okay Maybe I Really Shouldn't Be Surprised

As many of you may know, and many may not know, I had a baby just under 4 months ago. I lost all my pregnancy weight gain pretty quickly since I was so sick during my pregnancy that I didn't gain much weight. But before I got pregnant, I had about 20 lbs of excess weight for some unexplained reason. Now, I'm trying to lose that excess weight. However I haven't been able to, despite the fact I've still been sick for MONTHS post partum, and for about a month and a half of those four months pp,

      GLUTEN EASE TABLETS DONT WORK

      Yes, I have one of the older models and have tested many products with it. For me it seems like a valuable tool and I have used it to test foods that I eat regularly, which are naturally gluten-free, for example salsa, refried beans, etc.

      GLUTEN EASE TABLETS DONT WORK

      Has anyone tried the NIMA gluten detector?  I'm seriously thinking of investing in one. I haven't eaten out at a restaurant since my late diagnosis 4 years ago (I'm 55 in March)  Any information would be greatly appreciated
