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:

confused Community Regular

julie,

I think i will need to eat more brown rice, i had it one night and it wasnt that bad. I guess i can just make a big batch and have it ready when i need it. I am going to go buy some pasta tommorow when i go pick up my charcoal.

paula

Green12 Enthusiast

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 :)

Paula,

4 BEAN SALAD

4 cans beans (mix types) drain well put in crock on low fill up with water and cook over night on low drain water and refill again cook 6 hrs. on low drain water off and now the beans are gas free and ready for the salad. Blend dressing/marinade in blender except for the raw stuff. (Sometimes I use the pinto beans mixed with hot peppers.)

Blender:

2/3 c. grape seed oil (or olive oil)

1/3 c. lemon juice or ACV

Apparently not in MY hands, lol. I've broken 3 of them now (or is it 4).

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

Yummmm....that sounds sooooo good!!!! I must try it before the cold weather goes away. I actually might REALLY like this for breakfast!!!! And, it could be portable!

: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.

dlp252 Apprentice

I think the soup would also be good with a little coconut milk in it... yum!! I want some now! I think even I might be able to make this!

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:

Moldlady, your bean salad sounds really good.

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. :)

      Sorry for the long post. I’m 18, and I was diagnosed with celiac disease and type 1 diabetes (T1D). My transglutaminase IgA was >128 U/mL, EMA IgA positive twice, and I’m HLA-DQ2 and DQ8 positive. I’ve been completely asymptomatic since diagnosis, even when I cheated with gluten sometimes in the past and used to eat out(2-5 years ago) I don’t get the typical celiac reactions, which makes it really hard to know when (or if) I’ve been glutened. But for the past year, I’ve been the most strict with my diet, and that’s also when a bunch of new issues started. I eat completely glutenfree, never eat out, dont eat food that says „may contain gluten“.   Current Health Problems • Floating, undigested stools for over a year now. Dont think its related to celiac as it was like this since im 17 and not 13-16( i got diagnosed at 13). • Chronic back pain started gradually, worsens with movement, lots of cracking/popping sounds. Been ongoing for a year now. First noticed in the gym. • Abdominal bulge on the right side, not painful but seems to be getting slightly bigger. Doctor didn’t find a hernia on ultrasound, but it was done lying down (I’ve read those can miss hernias). Noticed it like 6 months ago, couldve been there longer. • extremely dry and mildly swollen hands (this started before I started excessive hand-washing), and bloated face. • Signs of inattentive ADHD (noticed over the past 3 years), now combined with severe OCD focused on contamination and cross-contact. • Growth/puberty seemed to started after going gluten-free. Before that I was not developing. Dont know if any of these are because of celiac as my dad doesnt have those and he is a lot less strict gluten-free then me. I also had pancreatic elastase tested four times: values were 46 (very low), 236, 158, and 306 (normal). Gastroenterologist said one normal value is enough and I don’t have EPI. Family doctor prescribed Kreon anyway (after I pushed for it), and I just started taking 1 capsule (10,000 units) with meals 2 days ago, but couldn‘t see effects yet because I’ve been constipated the last few days. Maybe because of thyroid. I don’t have Hashimoto’s. No thyroid antibodies. But I took levothyroxine for slightly low FT4 levels. My thyroid levels fluctuated between borderline low and low-normal. And recently lowered my dose so that may have caused the constipating. I probably didn’t need it in the first place, and am thinking about stopping it soon.   Current Diet Right now, I only eat a very limited set of “safe” foods I prepare myself: • Gluten-free bread with tuna or cheese • Milk and cornflakes • gluten-free cookies/snacks • Bananas (the only fruit I trust right now) I rarely eat other fruits or vegetables, because I’m scared of contamination. My dad, who also has celiac but doesn’t care about CC, buys fruits, and he might’ve picked them up right after handling gluten bread. That makes me feel unsafe eating them. Even fruit at stores or markets feels risky because so many people with gluten on their hands touch them.   My Home Situation (Shared Kitchen) We’re a family of 5. Only my dad and I have celiac. He eats glutenfree but doesn’t care about CC and sometimes (but rarely) cheats. My mom and siblings eat gluten bread at every meal. My mom is honest (so if i ask her to be cautious, she most likely would try to), but doesn’t seem to understand how serious celiac is. She: • Stopped using gluten flour • only cooks gluten-free meals (but they still heat up gluten bread and also cook gluten noodles) • Keeps separate butter/jam/jars for me • Bought me a stainless steel pan Bu we didn’t replace old wooden utensils, cutting boards, or other pans. The new they bought me pan was even carried home in a shopping bag with gluten bread in it, which triggered my OCD. It also has a rubber handle and I’m scared it might still hold onto gluten. Even if it’s washed well, it’s stored next to other pans that were used for gluten food/bread. Our kitchen table is used for eating gluten bread daily. My mom wipes it but not with soap. I’m scared tiny particles remain. If she made gluten-free bread dough on a board at the table, I’d still worry about cross contmaination contamination even with something under the dough and on the table as at one point the dough would probably touch the table. So I stopped eating anything she makes.   I know OCD is making it worse, but I can’t tell how much of my fear is real and how much is anxiety. Examples: • I wash my hands 20–30 times a day — before eating, after touching anything at home or outside, after using my phone/laptop. • I don’t let others touch my phone, and I’m scared to use my laptop because friends at school or my brother (who eat gluten) have touched it. And it annoys me a lot when others touch my stuff and feels like it got contaminated and is unsafe instantly. • I stopped eating while using my phone or laptop, afraid of invisible gluten being on them. • I wash my hands after opening food packaging (since it was on store cashier belts where gluten food is placed). • I avoid sitting anywhere except my bed or one clean chair. • I won’t shake hands with anyone or walk past people eating gluten. • At school, when switching classes, I wash my hands before getting out my laptop, again before opening it, etc. • I open door knobs with my elbows instead my hands   Job Concerns (Powder Coating, Sandblasting, Etc.) I’m working a temporary job right now that involves: • Powder coating • Sandblasting • Wet spray painting • Anodizing There’s also a laboratory. I don’t need this job, and my OCD makes me believe that dust or air particles there might contain gluten somehow. Should I quit?   Doctors Haven’t Helped My family doctor told me: “Asymptomatic celiac isn’t serious, if you have no symptoms, your intestines won’t get damaged, so you don’t need a gluten-free diet.” I knew that was wrong, but he wasn’t open to listening. I just nodded and didn‘t argue. My gastroenterologist (who’s also a dietitian) said: „If your antibodies are negative, there’s no damage. It might even be okay to try small amounts of gluten later if antibodies stay negative.“ Also said, pepper that says “may contain gluten” is fine if it only contains pepper. She was more informed than my family doctor but didn’t seem to fully understand celiac either.   Questions I Need Help With 1. Is it realistically safe to eat food my mom cooks, if we get separate pans/ and boards even if gluten is still used in the same kitchen? There will always be low risk of cc chances like that she will still touch stuff that was touched by her and my siblings after they ate gluten. And as there are gluten eaters in the house and she also prepares and eats gluten. So would opening the fridge then getting the food and touching the food be okay? So basically what i am doing, washing my hands multiple times while preparing food, she would only wash it once before, then touch anything else (for example water tap or handles) that were touched with gluteny hands, then also touch the food. I dont know if I ever could feel safe, I could try telling her how important cc really is. And I trust her so she wouldnt lie to me then be careless about cc, but idk how safe it really can be if she and everyone else keeps eating gluten and touching stuff in the house after eating. 2. Do I need to worry about touching doorknobs, fridge handles, light switches, etc. that family members touched after eating gluten? What about public places like bus handles or school desks? Or like if i went to the gym, I would be touching stuff all the time, so there will be small amounts of gluten and those would get transferred on my phone if I touch my phone while in the gym. But I want to knos if it would be enough to do damage. 3. Is an endoscopy (without biopsy) enough to tell if my intestines are healed? I’d pay privately if it could help and if i dont get a refferal. Or do i need a biopsy? 4. Could my job (powder coating, sandblasting, etc.) expose me to gluten or damage my intestines through air/dust? 5. Do I need certified gluten-free toothpaste, hand soap, shampoo, or moisturizer? (For example: Vaseline and Colgate don’t contain gluten ingredients but say they can’t guarantee it’s gluten-free.) 6. Is spices like pepper with “may contain traces of gluten” safe if no gluten ingredients are listed? Or does everything need to be labeled gluten-free?  7. Is continuing to only eat my own food the better choice, or could I eventually go back to eating what my mom cooks if she’s careful? 8. is cutlery from dishwasher safe if there are stains? Stuff like knives is used for cutting gluten bread or fork for noodles etc. I often see stains which i dont know if its gluten or something else but our dish washer doesnt seem to make it completely clean. 9. I wash my hands multiple times while preparing food. Do i need to do the same when touching my phone. Like if i touch the fridge handle, I wash my hands then touch the phone. I dont eat while using my phone but i leave it on my bed and pillow and my face could come in contact with where it was.  10. Do i need to clean my phone or laptop if theyve been used by people who eat gluten? Even if no crumbs fall onto my keybaord, i mean because of invisible gluten on their fingers. 11. Does medication/supplements have to be strictly glutenfree? One company said they couldn‘t guarantee if their probiotics don’t contain traces of gluten.  12. I had bought supplements in the past, some of them say glutenfree and some of them dont(like the brand „NOW“ from iherb). I bought them and used them when i wasnt washing my hands so often, are they still safe? As I touched and opened them after touching door knobs, water taps etc. It was like a year ago when i bought those and even though i was eating gluten-free, I never worried about what i touch etc. I know this post is long. I’m just extremely overwhelmed. I’m trying to protect myself from long-term health damage, but the OCD is destroying my quality of life, and I honestly don’t know what’s a reasonable level of caution anymore. Thanks for reading.

      I've been making a lot of black bean brownies lately because it's one of the few gluten free dessert recipes that actually tastes palatable.  I've also seen chocolate cake recipes with black beans.  Someone mentioned a cookie recipe using lentils in place of flour.  Just wondering if anyone's run across any tried and true recipes using beans, lentils or peas for desserts?  I've seen a lot of recipes for garbanzo flour but I'm allergic to garbanzo beans/chickpeas.  Was wondering if adzuki or pinto beans might be useful in replacing some or all of the flour in baking.  Since gluten free flours can be crumbly was hoping the beans might help produce a better, less crumbly consistency.  Any recommendations for recipes?  Thanks.

      I've seen a lot of recipes for chia pudding, so I decided to make some with chia, water, cocoa and honey.  Didn't like the taste, so I added ground sunflower and ground pumpkin seed to it.  It tasted okay, but came out more like frosting that pudding.  I used to make pudding with tapioca starch, milk powder, water and sugar.  It came out very good but I haven't figured out what to use to replace the milk powder to make it dairy free.  Most starches will work in place of tapioca starch but quantity varies depending on the type of starch.  If I didn't add enough starch to get a pudding consistency, I'd add gelatin as well to fix it.  Avocado and cocoa makes a good dessert with a pudding like consistency.  Unfortunately, I have a bad reaction to avocados.

      Seems like when I find a gluten free product I like, the producer stops manufacturing it and then I have trouble finding a new gluten free source for it.  What's worse, I've been contacting companies to ask if their products are gluten free and they don't even bother to respond.  So, it's making it very hard to find safe replacements.  I was buying teff flour at nuts.com and they no longer carry it.  I noticed Naturevibe has teff and soy flour.  However, I can't get a response as to whether their flours are safe for someone with celiac.  Can't get a response from Aldi if their peas are safe for someone with celiac either.  I know Bob's Red Mill has teff flour but was hoping to get a large quantity.  I've been using up the 20 ounce Bob's Red Mill teff flour too quickly.  Does anyone know of a good source for teff or soy flour?  Any recommendations where to get gluten free beans, peas or lentils?  I found some packages of gluten free beans at Sprouts but not much variety.  I've also been looking for lentil elbow macaroni and it seems like no one is making that now that Tolerant was bought out.  Any suggestions for safe sources for these types of ingredients.  Thanks.
