  1. If I were the one eating gluten-free then I could probably do that. But daughter has to eat not only gluten-free but has additional food allergies. So it makes it tough for me to pack a lunch for her at school. She is the only one who eats gluten-free bread so I order the 2 slice packs from Ener-G. I know I could drive over there since I am sort of in...
  2. I buy uncured beef hotdogs. I don't remember the brand. There are two that I've seen. Don't have any at the moment to look.
  3. No room in the freezer for flour. I buy Ian's chicken nuggets, one case at a time. I get a 10% discount! I also keep a few boxes of fish sticks and a few kid's meals. Daughter loves Coconut Bliss so I have a few cartons of that. And I usually buy 3-4 boxes of frozen strawberry pops at a time. Husbandd will eat a box in a day. Add in a few packages...
  4. I wish I had your problem. Mine is the opposite. I look at food and gain. I had been losing but my blood sugar was out of control so I was put on insulin and I have been steadily gaining. *sigh* The Dr. said it was likely the insulin causing it. Can you eat nuts and seeds? Avocados? They have good fat in them. You might also try using some olive...
  5. Not all home fries are gluten free. If the potatoes came frozen, they might not be. Some bacon is not gluten free. Did you eat at a chain restaurant? If so, they likely were not safe. We can not eat at Denny's because there is so much crap in their food it's unbelievable. I think the only safe choices there are a green salad and applesauce.
  6. Just so you know, Agave Nectar *does* raise blood sugar in diabetics. They are lying when they say that. For me it's no different than sugar or honey. I have not used it in baking. Just in raw recipes and I always use far less than is called for. But I don't like sweet foods.
  7. I did that with the Envirokids bars when I couldn't find them in any stores. I ordered a ton online, only to discover they no longer had canola oil in them but canola or soybean oil. I had to give them all away.
  8. Well, at least I know I'm not the only one!
  9. When my daughter was diagnosed, I bought every kind of gluten-free flour there was, only to wind up throwing most of them away after they expired. I am doing better on the flour now, buying a four flour blend, sweet rice and brown or white rice (whatever my current recipe calls for) and only other flours if I know for sure I will be making a recipe that...
  10. The problem is we can't have butter and milk.
  11. I haven't tried hazlenut milk, but I shall. As for the Dari Free, I find it to be sickeningly sweet. I made a recipe of Chicken A La King using it and it came out quite nasty. Just tasted like chicken and noodles with sugar. As for the forumla, that won't work since it is casein and not necessarily the lactose that's a problem. But thanks!
  12. You can pretty much live on trail mix, supplementing it with fresh food when available. I did that in my Sr. year of high school and in college. I made my own with a mix of nuts, seeds, coconut and fruit.
  13. I do know the feeling. I was well known for my baking. I once had a plate of cookies sell for $50 at a bake auction and people used to contact me to buy my cakes, cookies and hand painted chocolates. Then I had to give all that up. Between the food allergies and diabetes, this stuff was out of the question. I did foray into the world of gluten...
  14. I can't use hemp either. Husband is in the military and they're not allowed to have it.
  15. You can take some food with you when you go on vacation. And you really do need to avoid the gluten. Just a speck can and will make you sick.
  16. Phooey! I had better learn to type better!
  17. Thanks, but can't have dairy or almonds.
  18. I assumed she or whoever the gluten-free person was, was eating it and that made no sense to me. As for the tomato sauce, I have never seen any that has gluten in it. Now possibly a prepared sauce for pizza and pasta, but not plain tomato sauce.
  19. I made a typo on a post and want to correct it, but I don't see the edit button. ETA: It's here on this post, although my first edit didn't "take". The post in question is this one: Open Original Shared Link
  20. I have diabetes. A lot of diabetics do low carb and I've been told by some that you do not need to put any crumbs, oatmeal, crackers, etc. in the meatloaf. I have also learned by experimenting that you do not need to put milk or egg in. I don't have an actualy recipe and my meatloaf seems to come out different each time. I do use ketchup or chili...
  21. If you are using the same pans for gluten and gluten free, that's not good! If he is making pancakes with wheat flour in your kitchen, he is spreading the gluten all around. If you are making sandwiches with regular bread, you are glutening yourself.
  22. If you continue to bake with wheat flour, you will be continually glutening your daughter who can't have it. My daughter can't have peanuts or gluten. And I can't have almonds. So I am careful with the flours that I use. I have not run across any gluten-free flours that contain nuts.
  23. Interesting! I have not tried that one, but... Two years ago, I bought Thermos microwaveable containers. I thought this was a great idea because I could put leftovers in there after dinner then just microwave them in the morning before school. Sounded like a great idea, but twice the jars wouldn't open. The teachers tried and couldn't get them to open...
  24. My daughter is the only one who can't have gluten. At first we got rid of it all. But that wasn't realistic. I buy bread for myself and husband. We make sandwiches and toast in our own toaster. I sometimes buy crackers or pretzels for myself. We have gluten containing cereal. Husband gets some prepared foods like meatloaf, sandwiches and pizza. I try...
  25. Gluten is not a problem for me but I have gastroparesis. So most meat is hard for me to digest. I can do chicken breast (mostly in the form of Ian's nuggets and canned chicken), tuna and ground beef. That's it! I have to be really careful with the raw vegetables and can't eat some of them at all. Like broccoli. Or too much lettuce.
