This made a great chocolate cake - moist and somewhat high...and my 3 year old loved it (but its a tad bitter without frosting which I made w/ margarine, vanilla and powdered sugar to be dairy free so I could eat it)...ironically, my 3 year old is not gluten-free - I made the cake for me and she and my hubby ate it all! The recipe is from Bob's Red Mill...

I have been gluten-free for about 6 weeks now, and dairy free for 5 weeks. Just getting to feeling a lot better, and yesterday I broke down and had a starbucks eggnog latte (telling myself it would be a test.) Well, I prepared myself for the worst stomach issues all day yesterday, but they never came. I was excited until I woke up this morn with typical lactose...

I felt great about a week in - and then felt worse...who knows if it was cross contamination, other problems (lack of sleep and a cold) or just a withdrawal process. After I started feeling poorly again, I went dairy free...and now, about 6weeks in have gone soy free (1 week off that) and now feel AWESOME! So, either it took the 6 weeks, or I finally hit...

Lactose could definitely be the culprit - but I found my bloating was worse when I went gluten-free and lactose free. I found SOY was the issue for the bloating (the gluten-free and lactose eliminated my other symptoms, however)! I haven't gone soy free (meaning, I don't worry about it as a minor ingredient in some foods), but I avoid large quantities of...

I've done the Zone diet in the past - prior to being gluten-free; however, I would think it to be VERY easy to do without gluten. I used it after I had my first baby to lose a little of the weight hanging on...it worked. The thing I found with the Zone diet was it required a lot of thought for each meal to get the right proportion of carbs, protein and fat...

That's helpful, THANKS! I made my first chocolate gluten-free cake the other day (dairy free too) and thought I'd be eating it for weeks b/c no one else in the family would touch it. Well, it was gone in less than 24 hours (and there are only 2 adults and a 3 year old in the house)! The recipe I used had xantham gum - do you find you need it?

Regular day looks like: Breakfast: eggs or egg white scramble turkey bacon (wellshire farms has a good one) smoothie of soy milk, protein powder,banana and frozen berries snack - peanut butter on a rice cake or Lara bar Lunch: roast chicken breast with lettuce, avocado, tomatoes etc or homemade soup (lately butternut squash as its in season) with...

I have wagon wheels - apple flavor - in the cupboard. Seem to be gluten-free to me! just corn and rice flour...there is a carrot flavor too...don't know if it has the wheat. Jaxen LOVES wagon wheels (but again, not needing to be gluten-free).

I have a 10 1/2 month old (corrected age 9months!!) - who is not needing to be gluten-free, but some of the snacks we use that I know are gluten free: bits of cheese cut up banana (if you are not into messy, well, not so good an idea) enviro kids cereals (some of the puffs (Gorilla & panda) are gluten-free--do know panda is peanut butter if that...

It's really hard for me to tell if it's because I'm nursing, if it's my body trying to adjust to being gluten-free (I've only been doing it a couple weeks), both, neither ?? Whatever the cause, it's rather irritating. Especially because I really believe one of my symptoms was weight gain, so I'd really like to lose weight - and NEED to lose weight as...

I am now 35 with 2 kiddos, but had a very very irregular period for most of my youth (I would go months (read 10-12) without one. I was regular when I was on the pill too - but as soon as I went off it, I never got my period. We tried off and on for 2 years for a baby. I did have big issues with infertility with my first daughter, but with a lot of assistance...

she was talking about ayervedic medicine - which is grounded in tantric philosophy and is part of yoga practice. Ayervedic medicine "types" your body and determines according to an extensive analysis of skin type, body shape,personality trait, etc. what foods are postiive for your system and which are regressive. I don't follow it, but do know it has some...

I have the same question! sorry, I can't answer, but have been suffering with very loose stools for years now....and now have been gluten-free for 2 weeks and am constipated. I would welcome any other responses too!

I live in Colorado Springs and there is a bakery here, "Outside the Bread Box" that has great crackers - and they ship. It is a dedicated, gluten-free bakery. I would recommend you google the name to get the website - I really like the cheese and the "saltine", but they also make a wholegrain cracker that I have not yet tried. Their other products are great...

I am very new to this, and have only been gluten - free a few days. BUT, in the past, I have noticed that after I eat a number of almonds (like a handful - 1/2 a cup, not a spinkle) that I tend to have the very symptoms you mention. When I was trying to narrow down what was causing my problems, I often thought it might be almonds (along with soy and dairy...
