What do u put in ur sandwhich wrap, i havent thought of that, im assuming u wrap it in lettuce.

I just had brown rice for the very first time with some salmon, it wasnt to bad at all.

paula

Yep, I use lettuce leaves as the wrap and I usually put turkey or chicken with avocado slices, cucumber slices, shredded carrot, sometimes pepper strips.

Lunchmeat is really not a good thing. Besides being loaded with Nitrites it usually has some type of sugar in it. I have found nitrite free, gluten free, and dairy free meats, but I think it still might have some sugar.

That is what i thought, i was hoping someone would say the boars head lunchmeat was safe, we finally got it at our store here and i was hoping to try it out lol.

But im ok, im just happy im feeling better every day (well besides last night) when i glutened myself and i thought i was going to die, but other then that im feeling better lol

I do believe I heard boars head was gluten free, but I didn't pay it any attention because its still filled with nitrites.

Glad you are feeling better!

I have lunchmeat sometimes in a pinch, but most of the time I cook a bunch of meat up ahead of time, slice it into strips and freeze in single servings.

Whole Foods and Wild Oats has nitrate, gluten, and sugar free turkey and chicken. When I do get it I ask them to clean the slicer.

Paula,

Wow, good for you. If you did not know about die off reactions one would think that they were doing something wrong instead of right. It will take a while for your body to adjust. Almost like when you first went off of sugar and white flours etc. The body gets used to those things and one doesn't feel right when you take them away.

There may be a time when you can put that baked potato back into your diet and not suffer ill effects but when one is batttling fungus it feeds the culprit.

Keep trying different things.... like the avacado or even some like squash as a substitute. Both very low glycemic and lots of fiber to slow down any fungal involvment.

I just made my bean salad with some brown rice and lots of fresh veggies in there too. It lasts me a whole week and I have it for one meal a day. Sometimes hot and sometimes cold depending on the weather. Some might think that this is boring but it is not if you know what you have to do in order to be well. One gets to the point when you eat to live and not live to eat.

I read a few pages back and saw that some are interested in making something like ice cream. Sorry that I do not get here but maybe once a day due to my slow dial up....

Here is an easy recipe:

Almost like ICE CREAM

1 3/4 c. frozen blueberries or chopped up frozen strawberries

1/8 t. stevia

1/2 c. whipping cream or coconut milk or cashew cream

eat immediately

Yeah, my WF has a brand of sliced turkey that only has turkey in it. I do buy that to have on hand for snacks.

This is very similar to what I make, lol. I use frozen peaches, and I blend it in my magic bullet. I also have a small one-serving Deni ice cream "maker", I'll use coconut milk with some stevia and some nuts. That tastes pretty close to ice cream, lol.

Great! Now if we just had some warm weather to go with it! I make this often in the summer after dinner. But when it is below zero it's hard to fathom. lol I like the idea of some nuts.... like chopped pecans....great!

This sounds really good moldlady, thanks for posting it!

Paula, I get way too fatigued without some starches. Try adding brown rice or the rice pasta other suggested before in place of the potato. Just small amounts though.

Donna, I thought that was the whole point of the Magic Bullet, powerful and indestructible?? :huh:

julie,

I know fresh is best, but the only way I am able to pull a lot of these meals off is by cooking ahead and freezing.

I do this with rice too, I make a big batch of rice up and freeze in 1/2 cup portions.

I much prefer eating rice freshly cooked out of the rice cooker, it's all fluffy, and warm, and yummy, but this way it's fast and easy to pull out a portion and resteam.

I make this cauliflower soup some of you might like to try:

1 large head of cauliflower, washed and trimmed, chopped in small florets

1 tbsp coconut oil

2 tbsp dill weed, dried

1 onion, chopped

water to cover

melt coconut oil in large stock pot or dutch oven

stir in dill

add onion and saute until soft and translucent

add cauliflower and water to cover

simmmer until cauliflower is tender (about 20-30 minutes or so)

puree with hand held mixer (or put in blender, but be careful it's hot!)

If puree is thicker than desired, return to pot and add more water, simmer for 5-10 minutes

Season to taste, with sea salt (opt)

I LOVE this soup, I have it everyday :)

:lol: Well hopefully the 4rth (or 5th) Magic Bullet is the charm!

That is exaclty what I do, I eat the cauliflower soup for breakfast alongside scrambled eggs.

Oh, and it's got healthy coconut oil in it, beneficial for its antifungal properties, and the cruciferous cauliflower. It's good for you all the way around!

I'm also trying to up the veggies big time so this is a good addition to my menu.

That's a thought.

It really is surprisingly creamy, cauliflower puree makes an excellent "cream" like base to soups.

And yes it's so easy, even YOU can do it :lol:

Thanks Julie,

It is a lot of work putting it together but once it is done, it keeps for a week in the frig. if you make it with ACV. If you use the lemon juice (which some prefer), it will start to ferment in 4 days. The beans get a bite to them and then you start to feel drunk. NOt Good for me! :wacko:

moldlady :)

I have other anti fungal recipes if anyone is interested. I have plant based only, dairy, no dairy, etc. Gluten , no gluten, etc. Just be specific on what your requirements are and I"ll check my list. :)

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
