    That's definitely true. I've had days when I could hardly move that people encouraged me that it would be eventually over. Before I was dxd, I thought I was dying...for years. It does stink. Nobody is trying to take that fact away or push you beyond what you want to do. And my health insurance's deductible is so high and my dr out of network so I...

    My Whole Foods store just explanded their gluten free section. The Enjoy Life chocolate chips are fantastic (no dairy or soy either). Friday at my regular trip I found some Pamela's ginger cookies. YUM YUM YUM. I haven't been able to find many store bought sweets because of no eggs, dairy or vanilla. Even the dairy free and egg free sweets usually have...

    I thought I'd replied to this already, but I don't see it...so if it shows up twice...sorry! I will definitely try replacing the amaranth with sorghum and save the amaranth for flat bread. And the tip on the increase of yeast and sugar sounds fantastic. I have a question about the bread machine though. I've decided I'm going to get one. I'm the...

    lol I think I'd have to adjust and do a picture of my tummy. No matter how much weight I gain, I still have no rear end!

    Wow! This thread is a great idea. I've been kind of at a stand still for a while as far as weight goes. I'm hoping to get back to the gym and back to spinning soon (I can't handle a full length class but do it on my own after one-on-one instruction from the gym's spinning teacher). As most of us, I've been dealing with one thing after the other for months...

    That sounds like a great recipe. Thanks for sharing :-) I love pocket bread. Anybody know of a good substitute for the gelatin?

    I saw those a while back, but alas...no cashews either! Do you think almonds would work? I did see a recipe somewhere the other day for an almond "cream cheese" that I think I'm going to try.

    I've found that sometimes it's not really something I just ate either. It could just be coincidental. I might be totally wrong on this, but my understanding is that toxins are held in our fat cells...for us that includes gluten. When we stop eating gluten, or exercise, or are dieting, or whenever it pleases ;-) our bodies release these toxins. They have...

    I think your own store is a great idea. I've often thought of offering a few of my favorite products through my personal website just so I can buy them wholesale! I've bought a couple things on amazon too by the case...even better if you can find a friend to split cases. My dr. recently suggested doing my cooking on Saturday for the week. Make...

    ARCHIVED Wrist/hand Pain

    DawnS replied to DawnS's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    After a couple of days I got back full pain-free movement :-) Must have been glutened (or something else) when I ate at that Mexican restaurant! Still get the occasional sharp pain in the wrist, but all else is back to normal. Thanks for the responses and encouragement that it could just be a food issue.

    Sounds like it tastes pretty good :-) I'll have to check out the book for subs because there are still a few ingredients I don't use. Thanks for the suggestion (and for taking the time to type all that out!)
  12. DawnS
    I've heard of it, but not seen it. I've been frustrated with most of the books I've seen that are gluten-free because they don't take into account the other intolerances and end up being just as hard as traditional books. But if she give substitution directions...that's a different story. Thanks. I'll look through it at the book store or library.
  13. DawnS
    Yum...that sounds good. I've made a big batch of homemade falafel (no garlic for me and most premade has that) and got bored with them before they were gone. Of course, I guess I could just make a smaller batch But that sounds like a great thing to do with it.
  14. DawnS
    Thanks to everybody for the tips...I'll keep trying. It was a traditional recipe as a lot of gluten-free recipes that I've found call for rice/potato flours. I'm sensitive to potato and mildly sensitive to rice, so I try to keep my rice intake to yummy saffron rice or spanish rice w/black beans (well, and the occasional cookie!). I'll definitely check...

    It's really just two pieces of bread (I like mine toasted but some people like them soft), a BIG slice of tomato, a little salt and ideally some mayo. I'm also sensitive to eggs and soy so I haven't found a good mayo replacement. The last one I tried to make didn't thicken. Here in NC people that raise their own tomatos get overrun and give them to anybody...

    My Dr. uses Diagnos-techs. It tested for gluten, dairy, soy, egg, a few bacteria and yeast. I don't know anything about how it compares to others, but you can look at their site and see what all they test for.

    I'm craving a tomato sandwich, so I finally decided to try to bake bread. The flavor was great, but it didn't rise right which made it really heavy and not very tall and a little gooey) I used a combination of several different gluten free flours (quinoa, almond meal, amaranth, milllet, tapioca starch, chickpea) for a total of 3 cups. And 3 tsp of guar...

    I don't know what your budget is like, but if she likes to travel maybe a giftcard toward her favorite airline. Or if that's not a possibility, pick a place she hasn't been and research it. Then have her over for a day and "explore" the place together over the internet or you could have pictures/info printed out for her...or check out books with great...

    ARCHIVED Wrist/hand Pain

    DawnS replied to DawnS's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Thanks for the info. I'm not so concerned about it now. I am generally gluten free (since February) but do have other intolerances/allergies too. Eating out is always a gamble, so I probably just got a "surprise"

    I woke up Wednesday morning with a pain in my wrist and my fingers like I had slept on my hand funny. I assumed it would just get better throughout the day, but it didn't. This morning, it was still hurting, but my fingers were a bit swollen and I couldn't straighten them. Ice helped with the swelling, but moving my wrist and fingers still causes quite...

    I take B12 plus Folic Acid from www.bevkovitamins.com My doctor is the "bev" of bevko. She developed her own line of supplements. This is a chewable lozenge form (kind of like a tums or rolaids) so it is really easy to take. Per my dr's instructions I take 1 per day...not sure of the dosage right off hand

    I've never been a runner, but I used to have a problem with dehydration/resulting migraines when working out. I am diabetic, so I was better off not using Gatorade...I did a lot of research for something beyond water that I could drink. I used Ultima Replenisher. Their site doesn't say if they are dairy free, but I would think so...it does say it's gluten...

    Dawn, I have been hypo for 13 years and I KNOW something isn't right. I have for a long time. But my tests always come back normal. Argh!!!! I am thinking that I am on the very LOW end of normal, but this whole T3 thing could make sense, too. Is your T3 supplement specifically adjusted for you, I would imagine? -Courtney

    Thanks all. That gives me a good place to start :-)

    Our local food shuttle is doing a "backpack buddy" program where they provide food for children on the free lunch program to take home over the weekend. They fill up backpacks with healthy foods that are pre-packaged, no refrigeration needed, no stove top use, etc. My family has been talking about donating regularly and today I was talking to one of the...
