    What do you all have for breakfast? as your carb/starch I am getting tired of pumpkin, cranberries and apples in things. I have a few muffin recipes that are corn, potato and tapioca-free, by alteration, originally or use very little starch compared to most. I could share if anyone wanted. I often have mufffins, but as I said, tired of the same old recipes...

    Sorry my contributions are not always grain-free since I have nut and seed allergy and I need the few grains I have left for dietary balance but I have many grain allergies as well. Hope that it's ok to share things that are not grain-free, all my food is free of the others. Today I had Whole Foods meat case bulk sausage as patties for my Breakfast, with...

    How 'bout gluten-free lady fingers? I forgot what the brand name is but they are available and they are made to be soaked in stuff and layered with pudding and such.

    Great thread, I will have to come back and contribute! for tonight I am off to an event/dinner which I am being accommodated at but I made these brownies which are waiting for me when I get home since I have to skip the ones provided. Open Original Shared Link I use my own special flour blend free of potato and tapioca starch because of other allergies.

    It's very true. I get grumpy, in part, because I feel better so I want to do more but my body's not quite up to all that and I can't do as much as I want. I get mentally and physically tired. My DH keeps reminding me that I am doing a lot more than I used to, but it's not social stuff much. I finally this year said to someone I feel like I am finally on top...

    Bartful, I am so glad to know that you stop on the hikes! I may just have to give it a try now. This group adviertizes that they are freindly to the slower ones but it's still too far even that. I had to laugh at your feeling like you'd rather go home. I feel like that! And all this work for what?! is it really worth it? I was never a social butterfly...

    I have an unfriendly soy allergy. There are chocolates with no soy out there. I could have no soy, no dairy and had to watch the sugar carefully for a while and I still found a couple options...until I ended up allergic to the chocolate itself. I have been abe to gain back a few foods after long avoidance but my allergist has a protocol I follow for re-introduction...

    I was a faithful attender at our very good celiac disease support group but I quit going maybe 2 years back because I can't eat anything and don't really need the celiac disease support or info. anymore and I found myself feeling out of sync and not pleasant company. I used to think I was a patient person but all these health issues have tried that to...

    I think that is one of my problems too. I just feel too many negative feelings to be very good company sometimes these days. I used to do better but if I feel uncomfotable these days I get a bit grumpy. Sorry to say but true. I really am trying to just push myself to "try" some new things this year in order to help find something that fits. I try not to have...

    Thanks for you response and for sharing. It helps a little to know I am not the only one. I don't think you are selfish for chosing not to have kids. I have an acquaintance who had 3 a bit late and I won't get into all her issues but she clearly doesn't enjoy motherhood and does not do well in many ways, she could barely manage her first but she wanted that...

    Yes, definitely allergy symptom. I get that with many of my food allergies. It is often the first symptom when I develop a new one. I have a chocolate allergy but there are other ingredients in chocolate that can be allergens as well, soy and dairy. You should consider reporting it to an allergist. Look for one who is used to running large panels for foods...

    I am having a hrd time socializing with multiple food allergies on board. I've got about 25 including dairy, soy and gluten(not an allergy ). I find that I am just alone al the time now since everything revolves around food and I truely can't eat a thing and it is just ot working anymore to bring my own. A big part of my problem is two-fold, besides...

    My son had eczema when he was little that went down in proportion to how much gluten got eliminated from his diet when I went gluten-free. He would still eat it out of the house at parties and such and still had a small band around his ankles regularly. It went away completely and stayed away never to return, when we took him gluten-free. There are vaarious...

    How about jello? lots of fun jello creations to be made out there-rainbow jello to start with and coconut milk or coconut beverage(more neutral tasting) could be subbed in the creamy layers for the milk or condensed milk fruit leathers-lots of "natural" kinds if you have concerns about fake colors etc in mainstream brands fruit snack packets these...

    There is variation, even among people who have LADA. Not all LADA's have the same weight issues I do. But rapid, unexplained weight loss is a classic symptom of diabetes. Google "unexplianed weight loss and diabetes" for an explanation of why this happens. I got my dx changed from T2 to T1 because futher tests showed that I have GAD antibodies, which means...

    I too lose weight so easily just as you described. What you are reporting doesn't seem right as you stated. If you are concerned about diabetes, it is wise to get tested. Better be wrong than too late intervening. It is so much easier managed with early intervention. I have had to ask for EVERY single test! I was dx with oral glucose tolerance test which...

    I'm sorry, in re-reading your post I am a little confused about which type he is. He looks more like T2 now- when you said due to weight, I first thought of too much weight loss= low weight, undesired weight loss at DX which is common with T1, however if he was a bit overweight or the weight loss was good for him then he sounds like a T2. T2's make enough...
  19. missy'smom
    Please don't misunderstand either, I'm not giving you a hard time. google low carb or low carb diebetes or low carb gluten-free Lots of sites with recipes for using flax or almond meal as the only "flour" in baked goods, that are both gluten-free and low-carb and easier, although pricier;), than the usual gluten-free baking. Many LADA's are...

    To be blunt, to me personally, the term "diabetic diet" makes no sense at all. Never has. There is not one set plan that all diabetics follow. Everyone eats as differently as the mainstream population does. The "diabetic" recipes, dishes in restaurants are somewhat loosely based on the idea that diabetics should eat low-fat and maybe some whole grains...

    So much to address, As for the confusion about terms- adult onset type 1's can and are often treated with meds and no insulin or small doses of insulin or just one type of insulin at first. The sulphonyurea(sp?) class of drugs just burns out insulin producing cells quicker. Some adult onset T1's have some insulin resistance and take metformin and others...

    Contact the mfr. and ask what grains are innoculated with the starter culture and what grains are used in the bed that the starter culture is grown on. Leave the word gluten out of it. You will know by what grains they use, you know which grains contain gluten. Look up info. on how miso is made and then you can make an informed decision whether or not you...

    If you put all our individual sensitivities and additional allergies together in a list it would comprise of pretty much everything. No joke. If you polled on any one food, you'd find many who are allergic/intolerant/sensitive to that one and it would seem that one is common, no matter what it is. The one exception is dairy. Damaged vili tend to leave a person...

    I found out about the allergies later. I was trying to nail down my problem with dairy and my allergist ran a large panel of foods and boy did I walk out with a list! and it was right on track. After eliminating all that I tested pos. to my system was so calm it was unnerving. I would eat and not even feel that full feeling. I found that the vast majority...
