    We love apple/fruit crisp here at our house! I just use my old topping recipe that calls for some oats and flour. I use a combo of Earthbalance and Spectrum shortening for texture and flavor, instead of the butter or marg. For the flour, I use a sorghum blend, no gum. That's it! Easy peasy. I made and liked this pumpkin cake last year Open Original Shared...

    At 5 yrs? gluten-free, I am greatful that my kiddo(13) finally gets to have a mom(after 10 yrs of being sick) with more energy to keep up with him and ability to be more fully present.

    My son(13) is feeling peer pressure with school lunch. It's not cool to bring lunch, however, he does and we have worked out some semi-normal lunches. I also recently contacted the school about purchased lunch. They offer salads and while he doesn't like salad much he's come around on his own because it is "normal" He doesn't like dressing so east it without...

    I use Earthbalance Spread and it works just fine in breads and muffins and cakes. I'm not sure about cookies and pie crust. If the original recipe called for margarine, I am fairly confident the Earthbalance would sub just fine in cookies but if it called for butter, I'm not sure. There might be a difference. There is also a soy-free version of Earthbalance...

    Increase protein-meat and eggs. Be consistant about it and get a good amount at each meal. Eat plenty of healthy fats for calories-avacados, macadamia nuts, full fat yogurt, nut and seed butters, coconut oil...

    I think is would be a good idea to test if/when those symptoms interfere with your sleep. Everyone's different but I can go quite high and a bit low without meds or insulin and have slow onset T1. After 2 years managing my BG I just recently realized that I am going low in the early a.m. I feel so uncomfortable I can't sleep. If I power through and get up...

    I have found that I have MANY food allergies/intolerances that have nothing directly to do with gluten, except that a damaged GI tract may be causing my gut to be "leaky". The vast majority of my food allergies cause GI symptoms. I recommend that you get allergy tested. Find an allergist who recommends elimination of foods even if you don't have anaphylaxis...

    Thanks guys. I tried to find the barley info on their website before posting and didn't find it. Evidently I didn't look hard enough. After reading your reply I tried again and found it. Nothing's changed. I get it. Same issue with miso. Now, how to diplomatically share that with this baker. It is a new business in an area where there is a potential...

    Hi all, I haven't been around in a LONG while. Been sticking with mostly fresh, whole foods and not kept current on some things in the gluten-free world. What's the currect scoop on Rice Dream beverage? A local dedicated gluten-free bakery uses it in their breads that I am thinking about purchasing for an event this weekend. Thanks

    You sound alot like me! The diabetes doctor whose advice I follow, had kidney disease and is often asked about increased protein and kidney function. He was actually able to reverse his kidney disease on a low-carb diet and in 99% of cases would say no worries! If you want to increase meat but are sensitive, do it it consciously step by step to give...

    Enjoylife granola and maybe other products.

    It can be done. I am free of casein and soy and mostly corn-free because my son is the corn-allergic one. I don't go so far as to eliminate citric acid, corn-syrup and such with him. My "convenience" is homemade things that I cook or prep ahead and make extra portions of so that it can be warmed up for another meal. I eat mostly simple meats and veggies and...

    I second PROTEIN(preferably from meat and eggs)! It worked for me. Add an egg or some meat to breakfast. If you can manage 3-4 oz. that'd be great. It will help with weight and stabilize blood sugar translating into more lasting energy.

    Hi Madison, I have a casein allergy and diabetes. Recently got my type 2 changed to type 1(1.5 LADA). I am not on insulin yet. I know, how can I be a T1 and not be on insulin ? I manage with a low carbohydrate diet. It works SO well so that combined with the amount of insulin I still produce and I don't need to inject yet and can have stable, healthy...

    You really should go in and get tested and not just accept this and hope it will go away as you heal. If you get tested and find out you will have the info. and tools to better manage it and feel better. It may go away as you heal but better to know so you can better manage it 'till then.

    Do a search on the forum for Japan and you will find posts from some of us who are familiar with Japan and have been there and reported back. You need to know the word for barley too as it shows up. barley-o mugi or mugi wheat-komugi flour-ko wheat flour- komugiko rice-kome rice flour-komeko barley tea(which is commonly served without being ordered...

    I am low-carb to manage diabetes(by Dr. Richard Bernstein's plan) and am also grain and fruit-free, casein-free(allergy-no cow) and soy-free(allergy) plus a few others free(all allergies) and stay around 30g carb per day! I eat 4-6 oz. meat per meal, it helps me feel full where the carbs used to. I hear ya about the constant cooking! I get some convenience...

    I just want to send out some support for what you're doing. My son(12) has an ADHD DX and we've seen improvement since his varoius allergy dx and starting more agressive management. I chose not to medicate him because he was born with one kidney. He has always been in the mainstream classroom. He still has some trouble with concentration and memory and has...

    I follow a low-carb, grain-free and fruit-free diet to manage diabetes. It keeps my blood sugar nice and healthy and even so I feel much more energetic than I used to. I agree with much of what's been said so won't repeat that. As for cholesterol, I eat bacon every day and my cholesterol is great! no worries! My son's cholesterol was elevated and his pediatrician...

    There's a link on my profile to lunches that I've sent in the past. Now my son's a middle schooler so we stick to a certain rotation of peer approved lunches. Bagel sandwiches on Udi's bagels, small fruit(raisins usually) Trader Joe's brown rice pasta tossed with steamed broccolini and pepperoni slices and olive oil, parmesan cheese, some...

    If you have IR, then rice could definitely be very problematic for blood sugar. Are you on any meds for the IR? Even with meds, blood sugar could still be too high. If you haven't been evaluated for diabetes you should be. There is a connection with PCOS and diabetes. Any one time blood sugar number, like a fasting blood sugar is not sufficient to give a...

    Fatigue after eating rice or rice based breads, crackers etc. can be a sign of impaired glucose tolerance aka blood sugar problems. Rice is very easily and quickly converted to glucose and brings blood sugar up quickly. Elevated blood sugar can cause fatigue.

    My son loves Bone Suckin' Sauce. Open Original Shared Link

    You're welcome. An A1c will give helpful data too. Blood sugar is a funny thing sometimes. Mine can be perfectly normal fasting-80's or low-mid.90's but go up close to 300 depending on what I eat. The Ogtt showed that. That's why I always say the more data the better.
