Julie, I got reactions from all the WF BH stuff I tried. It was all very yummy though. I had the corn bread, cherry pie, sandwhich bread and the banana bread. OMG was the banana bread good! There is so much in the ingredients to react to though. I think the biggest one for me is cornstarch....I think its enemy # 1...also eggs, baking powder, chocolate, nuts, soy flour, concentrated lemon and grape juice..etc. Lots of stuff for me to react to. :(

The pizza bread, muffins and brownies look so delicious...wish I would have tried them. I had another relevation...need to post it on the OMG thread...sometime today or tomorrow. I'm having a somewhat busy week.

I bought Pamela cookies....they'll probably do me in but I had a moment of weakness at WF last night. I've reacted to all her cookies in the past but they were all the chocolate and nut filled ones. This time I got lemon shortbread. I've never seen the brownies. :huh:

Oh....still Racheling the EnerG bread....about a loaf a day. :o

I'm feeling pretty good. B)

I guess it depends on *what* I'm Racheling....and I seem to be ok with what I'm eating right now. :)

Good luck with the cookies Rachel, I had the chocolate chunk chip ones last week, or the week before, and I didn't feel great, but it wasn't too bad. I like the shortbread ones, I usually, or when I was eating them, got the butter shortbread.

The WFBH brownies and chocolate chip cookies, and the ginger cookies, are to die for!!! Very good, and like fresh baked, soft, chewy. I also tried the pecan pie, banana bread, and lemon poppy bread, I agree all good- but I wish they didn't use soy flour dang it, and some of the other problem ingredients you mentioned.

The Pamela's Brownies is a mix. Super easy to make, just mix in oil and water and eggs. I love them because they are so gooey and yummy and chocolate-y :lol: I can get away with eating them once in a while, but not too often.

Look forward to your scientificness in the omg thread :)

yum, I am making Pamela's brownies today - might let the kids have some too! :lol:

Need the choc cause I sense the dreaded PMS is around the corner, must stock up on choc now - maybe as preventative measure? :D

I love those brownies, too. I make them with coconut oil! Yum! Someone on another thread mentioned using marshmallow fluff for frosting!!! I can't wait to try them ... wish Morgan were here, she loves to bake!

Julie,

So far so good with the raw cheese. It may be something you would be able to add to your diet on occassion.

Good Andrea, I am glad you are tolerating the raw cheese well :) I am on a roll going without dairy, I hate to get it started again, even with the raw- cause then I don't know if I could stop, I love cheese so much.

Oooh , that sounds good.

That marshmallow fluff I think would KILL me though :lol:

Yeah, Morgan, where are you?? Don't leave us hanging, wondering about your first day away at school.

I remember when I went away, exciting and scary all at the same time. I hope you are getting all settled in and having fun :)

Enjoy them, they will get the job done, so chocolate-y...

Look what we started, now I am craving the dang brownies!

Yea, she hasn't been on my space or answered her phone either. She must be having a blast ... there were a lot of hotties around there yesterday ... she's probably busy with people "in person"!!!

The Dave,

Thanks for the explanation of racing. I just attached the link because I didn't know where to begin to try & explain it all to someone.

Excuse me Madame President. What CAN you have? I have a super easy fool-proof Banana bread recipe. It's fool-proof because every time I make it it turns out great.

I don't want to post a recipe you can't try.

Linda,

I wouldn't mind the recipe. :D I can't do soy but that is easily fixed. :)

morganb Newbie

Why would you do that! hehe, good luck!

bc I felt guilty about all the sugar I had eaten the past few days :ph34r:

Hello everybody--

Congratulations, Jessica! You have one of the most important jobs in the world.

How's the sugarless life, Morgan?

Adorable picture, Andrea!

Have you started school, Molly?

Leah

Well I did pretty good for one day Now I should try two days

Is there such a thing as brain fog for no reason?

Last night I got the kids their dinner and had mine in the oven, with the oven off, so it would keep warm. Since we ran errands yesterday, Seth didn't get his full afternoon nap because he fell asleep about 20 minutes from home. Fed him his dinner and then fed him again an hour later to get him to bed (an hour ealier than normal). Got all the kids in bed and came back out to the computer. About 9:30 I started thinking "I'm hungry" so I grabbed a Lara bar. Mitch got home around 10 or so. About 10:30 I told him I was hungry and didn't know why since I had had dinner about 4 hours before.

I went to bed around 12 and was laying there doing my mental check....oven/stove off......did I even eat dinner. I don't remember getting the spaghetti out of the oven. I got out of bed and went to the oven and there was my plate of spaghetti. NO WONDER I WAS SO HUNGRY! I grabbed a snack and will have the spaghetti (crunchy as it may be) in a little bit. :unsure: I still haven't eaten today.

Just thought I'd rely an amusing story. Now you all know why I appreciate that my wonderful hubby makes sure I get food on the weekend.

:lol::lol::lol: We used to do that before we moved....but with our aga, the food was still eatable....unless it was in there for more than one day or was in one of the hotter ovens :blink:

Awww.....you must be missing her already.

She was only going off sugar for one day?? :unsure:

For some reason I thought it was gonna be longer than that.

Are you kidding!!!! I can't handle more than one day of this...I have to ease myself into it :)

No, she just wanted to do it for one day. I think she just felt bad for all the sugar she ate in North Carolina and the meringues she devoured when we got back. She always feels better when she eats healthy, so I sense this is just the beginning of getting back to less junk food.

We JUST got back from dropping her off ... I'll miss her in about five minutes! I'm so used to her going over there for work a few days per week, it will take some time for me to really realize she's over there for more than a couple days! It's tough having them grow up! Especially when they're so sweet.

I'm working on getting back to eating healthy. It's getting close. I can't just jump into it, I work on it little by little. I made a huge mistake today though :angry: Remember how I was getting off dairy to see if I was allergic to it. I was going to get off of it for two weeks and test gluten a couple weeks later and dairy a couple weeks after that. Well, it's only been about 6 days and I completely forgot about the dairy part. I had cheese with my dinner. Now I have to start all over <_<:(:angry:

Well, I see Morgan must be really busy ... she didn't even post here!!! :D On the one hand it's exciting to see the fruit of the years you spent raising a child, and see them moving on to their more independent life. On the other, it's sad to see them grow up. And, am I really this OLD????

She's about three hours away. When we moved, I decided to keep going to the same salon that I've gone to for years, the one where Morgan works, and is near IU ... so I'll see her every four to six weeks!! If she weren't going to school there, I would have found someone here to do my hair!!

Morgan, did you find out how to get your food? (When I left her, she didn't know how to get her already paid for food ... neither did her rooommate!).

I found my food :P

You guys are sending kids off to college.... and here I am, celebrating my son's FIRST BIRTHDAY!!!!

My little guy will be 'officially' 1 at 10:48!!

My boss took her daughter to college yesterday. She'll be back on Monday, she took today and tomorrow off to grieve.

With my daughter, I'm actually starting with "preschool" basics. If she progresses on to K stuff (which I feel she will...she's brilliant... ) - we'll see how she does. More than likely, she'll start school IN kindergarten next year. She'll help us make that decision the closer we get to the end of the school year.

Happy 1st Birthday!!!!

Well I didn't get to get on here yesterday bc....I just got moved in. And then I got my internet registration for campus thingy this morning before I went to work. I ran some errands, ate with some random friendly people and then got on here. Oh and last night, I wandered around with some of the people on my floor. I like it, I'm still getting settled, but yes I miss my family :(

Oh!!!!! and my rommate's Dad has Celiac, so she'll completely understand if I request something "weird" with the fridge or something :D

Now where did my other quotes go??? Oh well, i know there were more but I have things to do. Don't worry I'm not leaving Rachelville :D

Why would you do that! hehe, good luck!

Hi MO!!!

So, how did the dairy make you feel? I mean, you were off it for 6 days, so you may have felt a difference from it.

morganb Newbie

Holy Cow!!!!!!! It's no wonder it took so long to post that comment!!!!! Is that a record for the longest post ever????

I haven't felt a difference. I don't know if it matters, but I didn't have much :unsure:

Linda,

I wouldn't mind the recipe. :D I can't do soy but that is easily fixed. :)

No soy so no problem. Recipe section or here or pm? I'm at work right now, so I'm aftraid you'll have to wait until tomorrow when the boys are done with the computer so I can have a turn. FYI, it's from the Incredible Edible Gluten Free Food for Kids cookbook.

I need to put your picture in the other chair, then it will be almost like you're home, except that I had to cook my own dinner tonight ... Dad took care of the kids for me.

I didn't tell you, but we went to Bloomingfood's for dinner ... I bought a rice dream ice cream bar, read the ingredients three times, then took a bite ... I saw a cookie in it! It was the most poorly labeled ingredients list I ever saw! It said Ingredients, then had a list, then under that it said cookie ingredients, then chocolate ingredients! It didn't even mention that the first list was the "ice cream" ingredients! It looked like the full list! Anyway, I spit it out, then went to the bathroom and rinsed my mouth out really well. I don't know if I was glutened since I'm still recovering from the previous one. The first ingredient on the chocolate was barley! YIKES! I started crying. :( Not obvious to everyone ... but Dad knew.

It was the most poorly labeled ingredients list I ever saw! It said Ingredients, then had a list, then under that it said cookie ingredients, then chocolate ingredients! It didn't even mention that the first list was the "ice cream" ingredients! It looked like the full list! Anyway, I spit it out, then went to the bathroom and rinsed my mouth out really well. I don't know if I was glutened since I'm still recovering from the previous one. The first ingredient on the chocolate was barley! YIKES! I started crying. :( Not obvious to everyone ... but Dad knew.

*tear* I'm soooo sorry that happened :(

Carla, I am so sorry!!! I'm so glad you caught it on first bite. Hopefully it won't affect you adversely.

:lol: Morgan

I think it is your replies x 3 (or double, not sure?)

More like 4 or 5 x. :lol::lol:

That's great that you have a roomie that will understand your need to be gluten free.

So glad that you are doing well and I understand about missing your family....especially as close as you are.

Cheese.....oops. :blink:

Oh, Carla, what a bummer about the ice cream! I hope you got rid of all the gluten, but how maddening!

Morgan, congratulations on your first day & finding the food (very important!)-- sorry about the cheese, but I bet if you go back to no dairy it won't really be square one, especially if there wasn't much of it.

sorry to be nosey, but what school are you at morgan? and carla, you didn't move her in? or did you?

Oh it's not nosey...I don't really care. I'm going to Indiana University. And yes, Mom helped move me in...but I unloaded everything

No soy so no problem. Recipe section or here or pm? I'm at work right now, so I'm aftraid you'll have to wait until tomorrow when the boys are done with the computer so I can have a turn. FYI, it's from the Incredible Edible Gluten Free Food for Kids cookbook.

Here is fine, then others can use it if they want. I have the Big Book of Gluten Free Recipes that I got online. It has banana bread recipes which I haven't tried yet. I think Annalise Roberts does too. I always like to compare recipes.

She's at Indiana University, we moved her in yesterday, it's about 3 hours from here. We used to live there, so we're all familiar with town ...

Look at your post and you will understand, there are multiple repeats.

I wanted to say in my last post, I'm so glad your first few days have gone well for you :)

The board is acting funny for me, don't know if it is just my computer or for everyone?

      He is. Which makes everything even more difficult. I’m not a believer in “staying for the kids” but I have nowhere to go and it’s not just me, it’s me plus my babies. We live in a beautiful place, lots of land in the country and me and the kids love the place we’ve called home for their entire lives. But Im seeing that he’ll never change, that my kids deserve a happy healthy Momma, and that staying in this as is will be the early death of me. Then I look at the scars covering my entire body…this disease and the chronic stress I’ve been enduring for years that tell me I’m no longer beautiful and no one will ever look at me with interest again. I try self care, try to give myself grace so I can just start loving myself enough to gain strength but the slightest sparkle in my eye and skip in my step attracts his wrath and it all comes crashing ten fold. Life is just absolutely railing me from every single direction leaving me wanting to wave that white flag bc I don’t feel like there’s much hope no matter what happens.

      Hi, I was recently diagnosed with Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis after years of suffering without answers. I lost my mind. I lost my job. I lost so much time. I lost Me. Conventional doctors are opulent come near me and the one who did sat across the room, misdiagnosed me, pumped me full of steroids which collapsed my entire hip for 6 months. So without answers I began my holistic journey. Fast forward a couple of years and still struggling with a mysterious whole body itchy, crawling “skin hell”, perfect teeth now deteriorating, thick hair now thinning rapidly and no more than a day or 2 at most relief….An acquaintance opened up a functional medicine practice. Cash only, I found a way. Within a month tests clearly showing my off the charts gluten allergy/sensitivity as well as the depletion of vital nutrients due to leaky gut and intestinal damage. dermatitis herpetiformis was more than likely what I was experiencing with my skin. I was happy. I thought this is easy, eat healthy Whole Foods, follow the diet restrictions and I finally get to heal and feel confident and like myself again very soon! 😔 Supplements are very pricey but I got them and began my healing. Which leads to the other major issue: not working, stay at home Mom of young kids, entirely financially dependent on my man of 7 plus years. He’s never been supportive of anything I’ve ever done or been thru. He controls everything. I’m not given much money ever at a time and when he does leave money it’s only enough to possibly get gas. His excuse is that I’ll spend it on other things. So my “allowance” is inconsistent and has conditions. He withholds money from me as punishment for anything he wants. Since being diagnosed, he’s gained a new control tactic to use as punishment. He now is in control of when I get to eat. He asked for proof of my diagnosis and diet bc he said I made it up just to be able to eat expensive organic foods. Then after I sent him my file from my doctor he then said she wasn’t a real doctor. 😡. I go days upon days starving, sometimes breaking down and eating things I shouldn’t bc I’m so sick then I pay horribly while he gets annoyed and angry bc I’m not keeping up with all the duties I’m supposed to be doing. His abuse turns full on when I’m down and it’s in these desperate times when I need his support and care the most that I’m punished with silence, being starved, ignored, belittled. He will create more of a mess just bc I’m unable to get up and clean so that when I am better, I’m so overwhelmed with chores to catch up that the stress causes me to go right back into a flare from hell and the cycle repeats. I’m punished for being sick. I’m belittled for starving and asking for healthy clean water. I’m purposely left out of his life. He won’t even tell me he’s going to the grocery or to get dinner bc he doesn’t want me to ask him for anything. I have no one. I have nothing. Im not better. My supplements ran out and I desperately need Vitamin D3 and a methylated B complex at the very minimal just to function….he stares at me blankly…no, a slight smirk, no words. He’s happiest when im miserable and I am miserable.  this is so long and im condensing as much as I can but this situation is so complicated and disgusting. And it’s currently my life. The “IT” girl, the healthy, beautiful, perfect skin, perfect teeth, thick and curly locks for days, creative and talented IT girl….now I won’t even leave this house bc Im ashamed of what this has dont to my body, my skin. Im disgusted. The stress is keeping me from healing and I think he knows that and that’s why he continues to keep me in that state. He doesn’t want me confident or successful. He doesn’t want me healed and healthy bc then how would he put the blame of all his problems on me? This journey has been hell and I’ve been in Hell before. I’ve been killed by an ex, I’ve been raped, robbed, held hostage, abused beyond nightmares but the cruelty I’ve experienced from him bc of this disease is the coldest I’ve ever experienced. I’ve wanted to give up. Starving and in tears, desperate…I found a local food pantry in our small town so I reached out just saying I had Celiac and was on hard times. This woman is blessing me daily with prepared gluten free meals, donations, educational info, people who know this disease and how they manage life and the blessings just keep coming. But it’s overwhelming and I feel like I don’t deserve it at all. He just glared and I know he’s going to sabotage it somehow. I don’t even know what to do anymore. I’m so broken and just want peace and healing.

      @Colleen H   I am just curious,  when you were tested for coeliac disease, did the doctors find out if you had any deficiencies? Sometimes muscle pain can be caused by certain deficiencies, for example, magnesium, vitamin D, calcium, and potassium.   Might be worth looking into having some more tests.  Pins and needles can be neuropathy, again caused by deficiencies, such as iron and B12,  which can be reversed if these deficiencies are addressed. In the UK where I live we are usually only tested for iron, B12 and vitamin D deficiencies at diagnosis.   I was very iron anemic and supplementation made a big difference.  B12 was low normal, but in other countries the UK's low normal would be considered a deficiency.  My vitamin D was low normal, and I've been supplementing ever since (when I remember to take it!) My pins and needles definitely started to improve when my known deficiencies were addressed.  My nutritionist also gave me a broad spectrum supplement which really helped, because I suspect I wasn't just deficient in what I mention above but in many other vitamins and minerals.  But a word of warning, don't take iron unless blood tests reveal you actually need it, and if you are taking it your levels must be regularly monitored because too much can make you ill.  (And if you are currently taking iron, that might actually be making your stomach sore - it did mine, so my GP changed my iron supplementation to a gentler form, ferrous gluconate). Lastly, have you been trying to take anything to lessen the pain in your gut?  I get a sore stomach periodically, usually when I've had too much rich food, or when I have had to take an aspirin or certain antibiotics, or after glutening.  When this happens, I take for just a few days a small daily dose of OTC omeprazole.  I also follow a reflux or gastritis diet. There are lots online but the common denominators to these diets is you need to cut out caffeine, alcohol, rich, spicy, acidic food etc and eat small regularly spaced meals.   When I get a sore stomach, I also find it helpful to drink lots of water.  I also find hot water with a few slices of ginger very soothing to sip, or camomile tea.  A wedge pillow at night is good for reflux. Also,  best not to eat a meal 2-3 hours before going to bed. If the stomach pain is getting worse, though, it would be wise to see the doctor again. I hope some of this helps. Cristiana

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .
