Well - I Did It

I did my weekend cooking like you all said.

I made a huge thing of chicken n rice soup with Brown rice. Now, I have a question about brown rice. I like those boil in bags, but Uncle Ben's said whole grain rice instead of brown rice. Whole grain - I don't even like the sound of that, so I got the store brand brown rice.

What does that mean - whole grain rice? Is that safe?

And I also made a big thing of pimento cheese and got gluten-free crackers for it and I made some hamburger patties to cook at work in the microwave, although that looks REALLY gross until you 'clean it up'.

Also, after we went to Red Lobster the other night, we went across the road to McDonalds for ice cream. I couldn't remember - can we eat McDonald's ice cream? I asked for an ingredient list but they looked at me like this: :unsure: so I had a coffee. BTW, McDonald's has really GOOD coffee! Can we eat their ice cream?

Rice is a grain, but it is one that celiacs can eat. A few of us are intolerant to rice, but that is a small minority.

White rice is white because the outer layer of bran has been ground off. The bran contains important nutrients, as well as being a source of fiber.

Whole grain rice is rice with the bran still on it, and because of the color it is also called brown rice. They are the same thing.

Connie,

I didn't know that's what is the difference between white and brown rice. I like the brown rice better, ti has more flavor.

I didn't Karen, I tried to all day, but the very thought of it...... I couldn't.

But, as Scarlet O'Hara says, "tomorrow is a new day"....I will try again tomorrow. I need napkins and Tide, but I just couldn't get up the nerve today. Plus it's 98 here and has been for like a week and the heat falls down into the mountains and stays there, it's just disgusting how hot it gets here.

I promise I will try tomorrow.

Ok. Remember the part about don't think just go quickly. After work tomorrow, stop at the store and go in. Just do it quick. I can't fly there and put a collar and leash on you, drag you into the store, every time you need Tide or TP (and we all need a lot of TP on this forum). :)

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      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 .

      The Happy Tart review

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      The Happy Tart review

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company? Normally you have a few months to do a chargeback with them. It seems very odd that they are taking this approach with someone who is likely to be a regular customer--not a good business-minded way of handling things!

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.

      Nausea

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the forum. Is the nausea associated with eating certain foods, or anything else in particular?  Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy.
