    As an update, I've been following the gluten-free diet pretty much since I made this post. I've felt infinitely better, my stomach isn't distended anymore. Honestly I'm about 99% sure this is what my issue is, it's been a problem pretty much since I last stopped going gluten-free after being told I didn't need to. I see the doctor next in late January...

    All right, so long story time. I'm currently 20 and have had GI problems for years. When I was 15-16 or so is when it started, I had a lot of pain when I ate, a lot of bloating, nausea, sometimes vomiting, etc. It caused a lot of problems just with eating. I've been tried on reglan, zofran, most of the anti-nausea meds along with things like prilosec...

    Just one specification; I've heard it's only maltodextrin in foods that is regulated, and is always from corn unless otherwise specified. Meaning things like medications with maltodextrin as fillers aren't necessarily gluten-free, to my knowledge. Might want to look out for things like that. Personally I try to avoid any processed foods at all, save things...

    Wow, solid poop would make me want to cry... I had chronic constpiation with diarrhea, so I consider myself lucky when my colon's not impacted... That's great that you're having regular stools though!

    I'm relatively newly self-diagnosed and I have problems digesting anything but fresh fruit and veggies, and limited amounts of soy. Just give it a little time, a few months at least, and if it doesn't start to clear up you might have a problem with beef.

    ...your family thinks you're crazy for not tasting their new chocolate chocolate chip cookie recipe, because surely a little nibble couldn't hurt right?
  7. LonelyWolf307
    Yeah, it could very easily have been the flour dust, if nothing else getting on my food and contaminating it. I eat little other than fresh fruits, soy by-products and beans, fresh veggies, and small amounts of brown rice, grits, and mashed potato flakes. On rare occasion I'll have some gluten-free bread that is oil-free save some flax seed I use as oil...

    That's probably a good idea - but I can't afford to make cookies out of rice flours, so my dad and everyone else will just have to go without. I only bake breads for myself because that's what's most economical, being a college student who has more than enough on her plate without making the part-time job a full-time by doing night shifts at the nursing...

    I had a jar of the Slim-Fast that you mix with water to make your own smoothies not long ago, the label says that it may contain traces of wheat. I wouldn't risk it.
  10. LonelyWolf307
    Does anyone else get sluggish after an accidental glutening? I had something yesterday that must have gotten some of the wheat flour dust that I have for baking stuff for everyone else in the family/when I feel like making cookies to bring to the nursing home residents I work with on it. I feel like a slug today, and while I know I'm not physically tired...

    I've actually had very good luck with a model made by Sunbeam, it's sold at Wal-mart stores for about $40, and you can buy it through their online store if you want. I haven't tried any of the settings other than white bread(it has 12, 3 crust settings, and the option of making a 1 1/2 pound loaf or a 2 pound loaf), but it's always managed to turn out good...

    If you can find any dairy-free chocolate chips, semisweet maybe, it seems like pretty much everyone except me likes this recipe (I don't like chocolate unless it's in its bitter, unsweetened form). It's from Bette Hagman's vast collection. 3 cups marshmallows 1 cup chunky peanut butter, or creamy, but add peanuts to taste 2 cups chocolate chips...

    I just made cornbread today actually, and I think it turned out pretty tasty. I just followed the recipe on the corn meal box with the following modifications: -double the amount of egg whites called for -replace the wheat flour called for with either white rice flour or gluten-free all-purpose flour -replace the oils called for with double the amount...

    I sometimes make peanut butter and jelly sandwiches with corn tortillas instead of bread, since I think that gluten-free bread doesn't taste quite as good in sandwiches as it does by itself (the kind you buy is too dense, the kind I make by hand is tastier without any other flavors added on top).
  15. LonelyWolf307
    YES! I've been looking for something to use some ginger root I have sitting around the house right now. This sounds absolutely delicious, gotta try it when I get home Thank you!
  16. LonelyWolf307
    I ADORE my lefse recipe, it tastes great, and it's fat-free too 3 cups mashed potatoes, usually 3 good sized potatoes will do, just peel, boil, and mash them 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce 3 tablespoons sugar 2 teaspoons salt 1 1/2 cups white rice or gluten-free all-purpose flour Combine all ingredients, flour last. Roll out like a tortilla...

    When I go traveling, I usually like to make myself some gluten-free waffles and just bring one for every meal I'll need, and other than that I'll eat fruit which can be found anywhere, and salads (same applies). They seem to keep pretty well if you keep them in a plastic bag even if you don't freeze them, and the recipe I use is pretty tasty. I would be...

    There are some gluten-free cake mixes you can buy as well, I've never tried them but I have a cousin that's gluten-free (for autism though, not Celiac) that has them on occasion, and they certainly look pretty good! I know there are brownie mixes out there that are gluten-free too, so if you wanted to give that a try that might be good. There's sure to...

    My god, someone would actually rather be skinny with a completely f*cked small intestine than be overweight with a perfectly healthy body?!?! I have one thing to say to that... #$*(@&#$*(^$)(!@&*$*()&!^@*&^%#^@&*(^$@!!!!!! Good lord people are morons...

    I suggest getting Bette Hagman's book "The Gluten-Free Gourmet Cooks Fast and Healthy." It's got a lot of pretty good bread recipes in it, and most of them are a bit reduced in cholestrol and fat, when compared to the originals, so they're relatively good for you too. I have a modified version if one of her recipes that I tried last night and I really liked...

    Things like flax seed meal are usually all right, I tried substituting that for oils in the bread I made last night and it turned out pretty good, really nice flavor from the flax too. Olive oil usually makes me react, I've tried that in stir fries and things and it wasn't any good. I asked the grocery store to stock some egg-free egg replacer so I can...

    I've only been on a strict gluten-free diet for a few days, I reintroduced gluten a few days ago to ensure it was, in fact, gluten and not some other weird allergy. Obviously I reacted, and have avoided the stuff like the plauge ever since. However... Perhaps this is just because my small intestine would still be harboring a lot of damage after only...

    I think it's more a case of he doesn't want to accept that I have a disorder that needs lifelong treatment, but that's a possibility too. In all honesty I think I got the gene from my mother's side of the family, there's a very extensive family history of severe allergies, and there have been a intolerances to gluten in a few of my mom's siblings, though...

    Wow, and I was just going to bring my own lunch to the MN state fair. I'll have to stop by that booth and pick up a guide, thanks for the tip! Good to see I'm not the only Minnesotan on this forum too

    Minor amounts of oils are ok, I just can't use any added oils and I'm supposed to keep my overall fat intake at about 15% of my daily calories or below. It's not too bad though, because it helps me avoid more complex foods that I have problems digesting still because I was only recently diagnosed and I'm new to the gluten-free diet. Maybe I can find some...
