Well, since I've discovered nachos with tomatoes, cheddar cheese, hot sauce and sour cream is gluten free, they've become my favorite late night comfort food!! Problem is...I've been craving them and eating them nearly every night since...I'm sure it's not helping me lose those last 10-15 lbs, but it's one way I deal... :P

Good thing you can have dairy! I can't. Never did like sour cream. I have to use rice cheese on mine and I use refried beans. They're good but not like the real thing.

well...I eat it...I'm not entirely sure if it's ok for me or not. lol I still have some gas pains occasionally, but not nearly as bad as before. I contribute that to the fact that I still have some time for my insides to heal...I'm hoping this is the right choice. Refried beans sounds like something healthy to add to them, though. I never tried (or heard of)rice cheese??? I'll have to look for that ;-)

Have you found rice cheese that actually melts? The one I've tried just sits there like plastic.

I envy you. I cannot have dairy OR corn so no chips and cheese for me. I might try rice cheese.

For those of you who are corn free like me though, a yummy alternative to nachos is taco lettuce wraps.

Make black beans, taco meat, tomatoes, salsa, avacado (OR Whatever other yummy mexican ingrediants you like) and wrap them in big pieces of lettuce. yummy. :)

There are ways around anything!

OH, that sounds similar to the lettuce wraps at my new favorite gluten-free restaurant, PF Changs ;-) I will definitely try making lettuce wraps using the ingredients you mentioned too! Thanks for the advice :-)

Hi, I, too am intolerant of all grains & milk and dairy, so I choose Vegan Gourmet cheese, made of soy, and it melts almost instantly in the microwave. Food For Life now makes a large brown rice tortilla that you would think was made of flour, that you could cut up for nachos. Hope this helps. Welda

I can't have soy either, so that cheese is out!

There's lots of different corn tortilla chips out there that are totally safe. I regularly use Trader Joe's yellow corn tortilla chips, & Whole Foods has several different brands too. Also, Tostitos has a natural chip line that includes tortilla chips that are huge, but very good. Open Original Shared Link

Hope that helps!

      Celiac flare years after diagnosis

      Bread has about 8 g of protein per 100 g, so a piece of bread weighing 125 mg contains 10 mg of gluten. Bread has a density of about 0.25 g/ml, so 0.5 ml of bread contains 10 mg of gluten - i.e. a bread ball 1 cm in diameter. I think it would be unlikely to ingest this much from throwing bread out for the birds.

      Sciatica came to mind for me as well. You might want to get some imaging done on your C-spine.

      Maybe this is sciatica? When mine acts up a little, I switch my wallet from one back pocket to the other. this isn't a substitute for more serious medical help, but for me it's a bandaid.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      OK so I just learned something completely new about this for the first time in years, that is REALLY WEIRD. One of my nerves that likes to "burn" or whatever is doing it every time I bow my head! I mean it is completely repeatable. Literally every time. Once my head goes beyond a certain angle *boom*. Nerve goes mental (lower right leg pain). What the...

      Zaalouk moroccan eggplant salad

      I've only made this a couple of times but it's really easy and I love the flavor. If you can, use all of the ingredients to get the full palette of flavors. I use fresh or canned tomatoes and I don't worry about peeling them. If you don't have harissa, there are replacement recipes online. If you don't have the greens, I suggest adding a little chopped...

One of my nerves that likes to "burn" or whatever is doing it every time I bow my head! I mean it is completely repeatable. Literally every time. Once my head goes beyond a certain angle *boom*. Nerve goes mental (lower right leg pain). What the hell. I've never seen a direct trigger such as this before that I can recall. The pain was the usual type I get from this problem - I suspect somehow the head movement was interrupting descending inhibition processes, causing the pain to leak through somehow.

      I've only made this a couple of times but it's really easy and I love the flavor. If you can, use all of the ingredients to get the full palette of flavors. I use fresh or canned tomatoes and I don't worry about peeling them. If you don't have harissa, there are replacement recipes online. If you don't have the greens, I suggest adding a little chopped baby spinach or celery leaves to add a dash of green color to this red dish. Best eaten in first couple days because flavor tends to fade. Leftovers are still good, but not as vibrant. Ingredients 2 medium eggplants, partially peeled and cut into cubes (original recipe says 1 in, but I prefer 1/2 to 3/4 in) 2 tomatoes, peeled and crushed 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped or minced 1 tablespoon fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons spicy harissa (I use Mina brand) 1 teaspoon cumin 1 teaspoon paprika ½ teaspoon black pepper 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice 1 tablespoon tomato paste (optional) Salt to taste Preparation     • Heat olive oil in skillet or pot over medium heat. Add all ingredients and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cover and cook on low heat for an additional 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.       • Serve warm or cold as a side or with bread for dipping. Enjoy!
