  1. Happy birthday and may God bless you today!

  2. Hi...matzo is unleavened bread that Jewish people eat during Passover because they cannot have bread that is leavened. Matzo is made with flour and water but does not have the same "rising power" as other breads, like white bread or italian bread. Its flat and cracker like. Matzo meal is just grinded up matzo crackers used to make matzo balls and other...
  3. Yeah, I guess so.
  4. Yeah, see thats what scares me. I'm a nervous wreck when it comes to eating outside my home. I would be afraid that it may be a foreign product. That is the same argument with dextrin and maltodextrin. By law if it is made in the USA it must be derived from corn, but any where else and it probably has gluten in it. With MSG and Chinese food, normally...
  5. I thought it was only safe if it was made in the USA?
  6. To my knowledge, MSG is on the list of foods for celiac patients to avoid. Wheat is such a good source of glutamic acid, as is soy, and corn, that MSG is often made from these foods. And MSG from foreign countries may have gluten in it. Some foods are NOT gluten-free because the MSG they contain has been imported from overseas. If it is an authentic Chinese...
  7. I actually ordered in chinese last week with my boyfriend and asked what was in the white sauce they serve on their dishes. The woman who I spoke with said that it is corn starch and chicken broth. While there is no soy sauce, the chicken broth may very well have hydrolyzed vegetable or plant protein, which has gluten in it. Also, while many restaurants...
  8. really? thats very exciting. im starting to get sick of my boring breakfasts. do you have a particular favorite yogurt? i hear most of the flavored ones contain gluten.
  9. Maybe I will start with magnesium and see how that goes. I am thinkning about seeing Dr. Green at Columbia since I am so close. I really don't love my regular doctor or my nutritionist. I know Metamucial comes in tablet form now too. Prunes are out for me, I would eat too many and become a sugary mess. I might actually be the only one in...
  10. Hey Autumn, I too am lactose intolerant and I absolutely love cheese. I was afraid I might have been casein intolerant but after doing some talking with a nutritionist I found out that if I was casein intolerant I would not be able to tolerate any sort of milk product. I decided to do an elimination diet and cut out all of the "unsafe" lactose containing...
  11. My boyfriend and I cannot wait!!! The best thing that has ever happened to our love for Lost has been getting Tivo. Now we can rewind, fast forward, pause, go in slow motion, and not believe each other when we swear we see a clue in the background. I cannot wait. lostpedia.com is the best spoiler site i've seen.
  12. Hello and welcome!! My typical day is also filled with as much fresh whole organic foods as possible. As dingogirl said, if you have a Trader Joes nearby I would definitely check them out. They should always have a gluten free product list available to their customers. There are many other places to purchase safe foods if you don't have any organic...
  13. does this ever happen to anyone? its not like for days at a time but every now and then ill have hours of non stop burping. what the heck?
  14. my nutirtionist said to hold off for a little while but i am starting to question her a little. i have been home sick for the past 2 days with a cold so i have had plenty of time to catch up on my reading and research. i realized that it would be crazy of me to not take advantage of the celiac disease center at columbia university and make an appointment...
  15. i was just looking on amazon to order Tired of Being Tired. There are a few listed. Is it written by Jesse Lynn Hanley and Nancy Deville?
