    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...

    Yeah, I guess so.

    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...

    I thought it was only safe if it was made in the USA?

    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...

    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...

    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.

    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...

    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...

    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.

    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...

    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?

    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...

    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?
  16. myserenityprayer
    sorry maybe i didn't make that so clear. canola oil is derived from a weed called rapeseed which has similar toxic effects to soy. im very afraid of soy or products that mimic soy. i try to avoid them at all costs. im afraid that if i am intolerant to soy than i could very well be intolerant to rapeseed, "canola" oil. check out this site: Open Original...

    did the magnesium aspartate help you at all or was it after you found out about the other allergies and bacterial imbalances? are those tests my GI doc can test me for?
  18. myserenityprayer
    too much fiber!! i never thought that was possible. i have heard great things about that book, I have to read it. i am definitely tired of being tired and sick of being sick! i have stopped eating soy and actually have recently (over the past 2 weeks) have been eating a lot of eggs, limiting yolk consumption to about 2 per week. i use a lot of extra virgin...

    I really like Stop n Shop's Nature's Promise brand. I will have to check out their rice milk and thanks for the substition tip, I will definitly have to try that. I sure that aren't the most reliable brand for organi foods but some of their stuff is pretty good. I don't know if you like tuna but the Nature's Promise canned tuna in water is really good...

    That I don't know. From what I have read about soy intolerances sometimes the long term results are hidden and disguised as other things, similar to autoimmune diseases. And there are many gluten intolerant people who do not get sick from consuming gluten but have been effected other ways like developing osteoporosis or cancer. Definitely do some research...
  21. myserenityprayer
    You know, I never thought about that. Like the Lactaid milk right? I should try that too. Thanks!

    I know that the usual symptoms of a gluten intolerance may be a serious case of the big D but for me it has mostly been serious constipation, gas, and bloating with the occasional attack of the big D. Since going gluten free (aside from my Sunday stupid encounter with McDonalds french fries) I still feel constipated. My bloating and gas has nearly disappeared...

    So now that I am both intollerant to soy and lactose I thought I would never be able to have "milk" in my tea or cereal again. Until I found almond milk. It was great, especially if you enjoy the taste of soy milk. The brand I bought is Pacific Natural Foods, Vanilla Almond Milk. Its low fat and cholesterol free too and we all know how great almonds are...
