  1. Interesting! Thanks!
  2. Such cupcakes are ove $3 each here. I would buy them.
  3. I went to DC once and was less than thrilled. Heat and humidity, yes. Rain? Always at 5:00. Right when the museums closed. We had walked over there and there are no restaurants or bars to duck into. So we got drenched. Crime? Rampant! Some guy was shot right near our hotel. And I was shocked at all the slums there. Really not a nice place to...
  4. Cross reacting relates to IgE allergies. What that means is that your body reacts to a food as if it is pollen. I don't know all of what can cross react. My allergist gave me a list but I don't have it handy. I know that if you have a birch allergy you can react to celery. Often the symptom will be OAS (oral allergy syndrome). That means when you eat...
  5. Turkey breast, mashed potatoes and gravy, green beans.
  6. I made the yellow cake for my daughter for my birthday. I used Nucoa margarine and also Ener-G egg replacer. Came out well. Have also made the brownies using coconut oil and egg replacer. Tried the cookies but they didn't come out so well. They tasted fine. They just sort of melted into one another.
  7. My daughter was diagnosed at age 6. Not with celiac but a food allergy. After a couple of years she had forgotten what wheat tasted like. I guess she is one of the lucky ones. Because I have diabetes I didn't keep a lot of bread in the house ever and we didn't eat a lot of pasta. So she wasn't used to having it at every meal. Then about 4 years later...
  8. No cooking here. I am worn out and it was warm here. Not hot but uncomfortable. For daughter there was leftover Mexican rice with veggies and chicken and some good Mexican cheese sprinkled over. Also corn tortillas and black olives. I just had bean tacos with cheese and olives. Should have had veggies, I know. But I didn't.
  9. Why is she eating wheat if you know it is a problem? And since you both have the problem, I would not be bringing it into the house at all. My daughter is soon to be 13 and there is no way she would eat wheat. She knows the problems it causes for her. I realize since you are in Canada your food choices might be somewhat different than ours. We can...
  10. I have IgG allergies. A naturopath can check for those with a blood test. An allergist would normally be the one to check for IgE allergies. Those are the ones that can kill you. Sometimes other Drs. can do this test. It is either by a skin prick or a blood test. But then there are those things that don't fall into either category. For me that is...
  11. Thanks! I don't see this listed on their menu on the website, but it has been confirmed on Facebook.
  12. My daughter was just diagnosed with Hashimoto's and she is tired all the time. I developed a thyroid problem when I was pregnant. No cause was looked for. I has *knock wood* since gone away when I eliminated soy from my diet. But... I went from hypo to hyper and back again. Yes, it can happen.
  13. I don't keep up with tennis any more, but... I would think anyone in the public eye like that who has a dietary issue would be best served not to make a big deal of it in public. I say this because someone who is not on the up and up could easily use this against them. And by this I mean like sneaking the substance into their food, arranging to have it...
  14. Thanks!
  15. I'm very allergic. Took me a VERY long time to figure it out. When we lived in NY I often ate eggs for breakfast. I was doing low carb then. I had to drive daughter to school right after breakfast. I would need the toilet and it would be hard to get out the door. Then once home I could barely get in the door before I had to go again. I didn't make...
  16. My cats love the Now! dry food. They can't get enough of it. Alas, I can't find a moist food that they like, except for the Fancy Feast Appetizers. They're just meat or fish so probably gluten-free but they are not meant as the only source of food because they are not complete.
  17. I don't think either would be safe either. But if you do go to Perkins then maybe just some fruit. I'd be afraid of anything done on the grill with all the pancakes and French Toast that they do.
  18. Did you cook the pasta? If so was it a new pot, colander, pasta fork, etc? If not there could have been gluten lurking in the crevices. If she is newly diagnosed she could also be having trouble with dairy. That often happens.
  19. I don't eat dressing but have found the crouton buried in the salad many times and so has my daughter. I've even been told at some restaurants that it's hard to avoid because the croutons fly everywhere. I prefer to eat at places that don't serve croutons at all but there aren't very many. I wish restaurants would do the prepackaged croutons like they do...
  20. I am trying to use up all the old food. I had some little pearl potatoes that were fine the last time I checked but they had gone moldy! And most of the bag of russets I had were also bad. But I did find two that could be salvaged. I peeled them, cut in bite sized chunks, then boiled them in some chicken broth. As the broth was about to dry up, I added...
  21. It really varies. My daughter usually takes a lot of dance classes. She has just short of a stress fracture in her back so now no activity for 2 months. Otherwise she would be dancing twice a week until about 8 p.m. And most likely I would have taken her out to eat at least one of those days. Not that there is much open at that hour. Yes, there is Denny...
  22. I chopped up an onion, a red bell pepper and a green bell pepper. Cooked those in a bit of olive oil with some cubes of potato. Then added some cooked, crumbled sausage. I'm not a super big fan of sausage but daughter loved it! Also had some gluten-free pumpkin and millet bread from the health food store. It was over $7 a loaf. I could live without...
  23. I cleaned out my cupboard the other day and used up some stuff that was about to expire. Had a can of Mexi corn, kidney beans, roasted tomatoes and chicken broth. I added rice that had been cooked briefly in some olive oil, some onion, cooked ground beef and some extra red peppers. Seasoned with a bit of salt and plenty of chili powder. Yum! My dad...
  24. You can look up the name of any med here. It's mostly dissatisfied people who had side effects from meds. But it is very helpful if you are having problems. It is here that I learned that my weird dreams, migraines and increased GERD symptoms were coming from my GERD meds. And it is here that I learned that statins can cause increased blood sugar and...
  25. You can always get your own pics. That's what I did.
