Also, in case it's important... my restrictions are: grains (except rice), legumes, dairy, soy. So, I basically eat a lotta veg, some meat, eggs, but mostly fish/seafood, rice, nuts occasionally & less often fruit.

I don't know if this has been discussed specifically, so let's see..... Every time - and I mean _every_ single time - I go out to eat, no matter where or when - I get sick the next day. It's almost flu-like... with the fatigue, D & V & aches/pains (all over) the next day (or two). I can go to Chipotle (an old fave) & ask for them to change...

Only thing I ever get that's Amy's (frozen) is the Rice crust pizza (w/soy cheese). I next to never eat anything soy (due to thyroid stuff)... so I didn't think of that being an issue possibly. But even w/the Bob's Red Mill - I can eat say 2 biscuits or 2 pancakes - but more than that & I get the same reaction. I don't eat oats (never liked...

Ok, I've been gluten-free for a couple yrs now & feel pretty confident that I'm mostly aware of hidden wheat/gluten. I was wondering if anyone has noticed GI problems when eating "gluten-free" foods (a la Amy's brand, which uses mostly rice flour)? (pain, bloating, the infamous 'D' - up to 2 days after eating) I've used bob's red mill flours to...

thanks for all your replies. i'm not on here daily, but i do read replies when i get a mail. you all have calmed my mind!

So I've been gluten-free for almost a whole year & can't begin to describe the relief (tho I'm sure you all know!). So, things are good... I do have a concern, though, as I've noticed (I keep a food journal) that my diet consists mostly of protein then fats & veggies/fruits. I don't follow any particular "diet" but my diet is looking more ...

Just wondering if anyone's tried Dad's Gluten Free pizza crusts or any other of their products? If so, what's your review of it? I still don't even know if it's available anywhere around me (midwest). thanks!

It's been less than a year for me having been gluten-free, but I've noticed, in this short time improvement (not all out cure though) of my low thyroid (hair's growing back & not falling out all the time), more energy, fibro's almost disappeared... most importantly for me, exercise (which I love) is easier! Not so much b/c I'm in less pain, but I feel...

The whole thing was a lifestyle change (in more than just food) for me. I craved sugar (ate a lotta candy for carbs/calories) when I changed over b/c I wasn't hungry... or if I was, all I wanted was sugar. After months now of being gluten-free, I'm getting used to the changes and learning to eat more. Sometimes I force myself to eat a "big" meal ...

I've tried Bob's Red Mill's "all purpose" gluten-free flour and I know (but haven't tried yet) King Arthur's french loaf (in a box). A friend of mine (who's daughter is gluten-free) loves KingArthur products.

I always preferred crusty bread anyway... great for dipping in olive oil. Yum! I bought a loaf of Udi's I think it was - as it was most recommended - and found I didn't mind it, as I missed toast. It reminded me of Irish Soda Bread, with it's density. So, I didn't really mind that. But, I'll probly not have a sandwich - unless it's corn-tortilla or...

After DX: GI/potnetial Celiac - I went for quite some time being depressed - about food. Meals were a hassle, popcorn became a staple for dinner b/c I was too tired/depressed/ignorant what I could/n't have. Now, a little over 6 months into being gluten-free, I'm finally starting to tackle baking. I'm near tears at this point, having been looking at...

Quite hot here too... but did a taco salad bar @ home all the fixin's you could want. Now, green tea as an after dinner drink.

so about a year ago i decided to cut out all processed flour products... bread, pasta, most desserts, etc. i was on a pretty good exercise regimine too... i was feeling good... even better when i stopped eating processed foods. so, i noticed within a week i had lost a lot of (water) weight. no biggie... then after a couple months i had actually...

okay, first, i'll say i dont know if i've got celiac or not... but i've been testing w/diet/foods lately... my Dr isnt quite listening at this stage - so i thought i'd do this myself. now... i'm a veggie... that's picky enough & i HATE asking restaurants to make special things for me... especially when so many people are ignorant - i'm sure you...
