  1. Sadly people will judge. My daughter was underweight for her first year and then suddenly she was overweight. Her Dr. had her on a really strict diet. No junk. Whole foods. One serving of juice per day. People said I was being mean to her and said children should be allowed to eat what they want. They would sneak food to her. At age 6 we learned...
  2. Have you been tested for diabetes? I suffered from reactive hypoglycemia for many years prior to diabetes. I had to eat a bite of something sweet every couple of hours. What I was eating in those days wasn't necessarily gluten-free but some of what I ate was fruit leather or fruit snacks like you'd give to little kids. We now know that reactive hypoglycemia...
  3. My daughter and I had the food intolerance hair test done. We changed our diets and now all of my mystery ailments are cleared up.
  4. I know what you mean. When my stomach was acting up, I was sticking to mainly plain white rice with chicken and chicken broth. And then I found out I was intolerant to chicken! I also have issues with some herbs so even some vegetable broths are out for me. For the time being you may have to stick to whole foods, trialing them out one at a time and...
  5. Toothpaste arrived today. There was some sort of glitch with the post office. They were claiming they delivered that and a package from Target on the 17th. So of course this caused me all sorts of problems. I made phone calls. Sent e-mails. Have a BIG mess at Target now. But I digress... The toothpaste really has no flavor at all. Has a bit of...
  6. Most bread contains milk. I have a hard time finding any that does not.
  7. When my daughter was 3, we didn't know about her food intolerances yet. She was not nearly as picky of an eater as a lot of other kids were. I used to fix meals for two of her friends, one of whom was a very picky eater. Most nights I made them plates that consisted of macaroni and cheese (they would only eat Kraft), breakfast sausage links, canned green...
  8. Ohhhhhhhh! Potatoes would be sooo good in there! I don't have the buds but I do have flakes. Must get a few more veggie ingredients and then make some in the next few weeks. My chili sauce and baby food squash are about to go bad. Thanks!
  9. Thanks! I will get some today. I have to replace some other seasonings anyway because I went all crazy with the weevil spray! I was just trying to get the sprayer piece on and I accidentally got it all over my hands, the floor and a few containers of seasonings.
  10. Of course a mouthful could cause a problem if you have an allergy or intolerance. Could it be sugar? High fructose corn syrup?
  11. Are you sure there was no dairy? Did you read every label? Eat any prepared food? There is dairy in many canned soups, even in McDonald's fries. But there are plenty of other things that can cause migraines too. Wine and chocolate are two of them.
  12. You are not alone. My daughter and I both have food intolerances. We are learning to adjust to our new ones because they do change over time. For us anyway... My own mom has them also but refuses to believe it. She has been tested. She will eat what she is not supposed to. Get sick. Then want sympathy. I believe that my dad has them too. He is...
  13. Don't do what I did! I bought every gluten-free cookbook I could find and then every sort of flour listed in there. I wound up never using most of them. If you intend to bake, you'll probably want a four flour or five flour type of blend. You can get these already made up. You'll probably also want a plain rice flour. Either white or brown. I've...
  14. I bought some stickers from Ebay printed with my daughter's name. That way we knew the food was hers.
  15. What would they use instead?
  16. I can't have milk. Do you think tomato juice would work? As for the nutmeg that is one taste I simply can not stand. I used to do a lot of baking prior to gluten-free and I found if I put nutmeg in something I couldn't eat it. I make individual loaves and there is very little fat from them because I use lean organic beef. I also cook down my veggies...
  17. Is savory a spice? Herb? Or did you mean just the word "savory". I feel dumb now. If it is an herb or spice I don't have it.
  18. I think the egg replacer is worthless. I just got weevils in my flour cupboard. Eek! I tossed everything out an I didn't replace the egg replacer. I don't intend to either.
  19. We have made several cross country moves. First, get yourself AAA books for all the states you'll be going through. That way you'll be able to see all motels and hotels and what amenities they have. We always look for a place with at least a refrigerator available if not an kitchenette. We don't actually use the pots and pans and such in the kitchenette...
  20. I had that a lot as a child and young adult. Not recently that I know of. Gluten is not an issue for me.
  21. Yes I know I can make my own. And yes I know it is easy. I am old. I come from a time when you couldn't buy jarred or canned sauce. So I know. And in those days the only seasoning I put in my sauce was oregano. But in recent years I've gotten lazy. I have been buying jarred sauce or when making my own, putting in Italian seasoning. However, now...
  22. I like to make meatloaf because I put a ton of veggies in it. And my husband and daughter don't otherwise eat a lot of veggies. I do have to be careful because I tend to put too many veggies in it. The end result is delicious but not meaty. Anyway... I can't put milk or egg in there because I am allergic. I've been using either tomato juice, V8...
  23. Do you have a site for the macular degeneration? My mom has it and only eats margarine. But then... My dad doesn't have it and only eats margarine too. I have to eat it because I have to avoid dairy.
  24. Almonds and pistachios make my mouth and throat itch and burn. It's not an allergy but the allergist said it is oral allergy syndrome. I just tested as intolerant to pecans and macadamias so those are gone as well.
  25. I ordered 3 tubes. Not sure how long it will take to get it but I'll report back.
