    I started practicing anusara yoga (vinyasa flow/heart opening) about a month after my diagnosis three years ago. It has made an amazing difference in my life. The physical practice is great- twisting helps regulate intestinal flow, etc... , but the mental influence has helped a lot, also- it helps me accept and make the best of each and every day. I...

    I eat goat cheese all the time and never had a problem. Do you trust the crackers? Could it be something you had earlier? I have had the pounding heart-night sweats before, too and was never able to figure out the cause... Perhaps go back to plain rice/soft veggies/poached chicken or eggs for a day or two. Good Luck, Pam

    We will be going to a friend's wedding in Puerto Vallarta next month and staying at the Playa Del Sol Grand. Does anyone have specific restaurant recs? Or advice on eating gluten-free in Puerto Vallarta and/or Mexico in general? I will take my gluten-free card in spanish (I have the Triumph Dinning one). My friend is going to give my info to the caterer...

    I usually carry crackers with me (instead of bread) to restaurants, esp when travelling. If going away for more than a few days, I take a whole package of crackers (Mary's Gone is my fav) and a few small ziplock bags in which to hide a handful in my purse when dining out. I have the triumph dining cards, but like to take my own version that I wrote up,...

    Hi all, I had to share my Pumpkin cake success with you! I needed a dessert for Thanksgiving dinner that was gluten free and also vegan (for one of my guests). Nameste cake mixes have specific directions for using egg-replacer, so I thought I would try their spice cake and use pumpkin in it. The recipe called for something like 1/2 cup oil plus...

    I really like Pacific soups Most say Gluten Free right on the label. Tomato/Roasted Pepper is my favorite. Open Original Shared Link It states in their FAQ that they do not use msg, but they do use 'autolysed yeast extract' that some people who are sensitive to msg also try to avoid. Good Luck, P

    We like Sausages by Amy (not the same Amy as the other brand we all know). Open Original Shared Link Looks of fun flavors including breakfast, Italian and others like sun dried tomato and chipotle, etc... enjoy, Pam

    The reason for adding a little vinegar to yeast bread recipes is that the yeast 'works better' under acidic conditions, i.e. converting the carbs (flour) to sugar, alcohol and carbondioxide to rise the bread. In wheat bread recipes this is done, also. So you almost always see this in a gluten free yeast bread recipe because it will need all the help it...

    MSG is monosodium glutamate, which is the sodium salt of glutamic acid (not gluten!). It is used as a flavor enhancer all over the world in many cuisines. An analogy would be what we call 'salt', sodium chloride, which is the sodium salt of hydrochloric acid and also used as a flavor enchancer. The difference is that sodium chloride ('salt') is in-organic...

    So therefore, mindypal, it is gluten-free. P

    I use it all the time with no problem. Pam

    My favorite cracker is the MarysGone orginal flavor. Very yummy and great with cheese. I have a hard time keeping them around becuase my non-celiac husband eats them all! Pam

    Technically the wheat protein (giladin- what we react to) can be separated from the wheat starch. I am sure it is a similar process to making corn starch (separating the starch component from the protien, fat) and tapioca starch, etc... My concern would be the same in any manufacturing process - cross contamination. We don't care if corn or tapioca starch...

    A good rule of thumb for a 'basic' diet is to stay away from anything processed (in a factory). Here is my list: rice bananas sweet potatos/potatos eggs and maybe: any well cooked veggie poultry Good Luck Pam

    Hi again Mia, I use and really like San-J Wheat Free Tamari (they also have a low-sodium version). LaChoy soy sauce is also gluten free, but I personally think it is not good tasting at all. Good Luck, Pam

    Hydrolized Corn Gluten should be OK... ie no wheat gluten. BUT- I remember the day I was diagnosed and went through my frig.... the maggi sauce was one of the bottles that ended up in the trash.... said 'wheat gluten' right on the label. Here is the list of ingredients I found on the web: Water, Salt, Wheat gluten, Wheat, Sugar, Wheat bran, Acetic acid...

    1. Stick with a very simple gluten-free diet: lean meat, fruit, veggies, rice, potatoes, etc... Hopefully, over time, you will begin to heal and not fell so bad. It took me quite a few months of a very bland diet to not feel sick and get my appitite back. You might look into digestive enzymes or probiotics. Be very vigilant in eating gluten-free! Then...

    Datem is "Diacetyl tartaric acid esters of monoglycerides" and seems to be used as an emusifier. Should be gluten-free. And I think that with the new labeling law, if it was derived from wheat it would be listed as "datem (wheat)", right? Good Luck, Pam

    When going to a restaurant for the first time, I call a speak with the host/hostess and ask if I can fax them info on my dietary restrictions that they can then show to the chef/kitchen. Then a few days before the day of our reservation, I will call to see if they/chef has any questions. Here is an example of what I would fax to them: ************...

    Here is a tip to help any batter based bread/muffin a bit lighter: follow the recipe, but only use the egg yolks in the batter, then whip the egg whites to stiff peaks and fold them in gently to the batter just before you spoon it into the pan/muffin tin. Good Luck, Pam

    Cipro is not is not the same kind of antibiotic as amoxicillan... ie, it is not in the penicillan family. It is a quinolone.... in the same family as Levoquin. Having said that, allergies to different classes of antibiotics are common. Everyone is different. (I am allergic to penicillian, cephalosporins and quinolones, but not to macrolides such as...
