    LOL. Um, how important is the chili part? I can't do peppers at all; the results are truely ugly. Do you get a sense of what I'm dealing with here? I'm sorry, but the citrus allergy is recent and it's just thrown my whole way of doing things out the window. I'm struggling to find new ways to eat yet again.

    Ughhhh, you're not alone. I feel that way too. Been having a major pity party lately. And yeah, I pick up all the dog poop and clean the litter box and take out the trash and cook every meal and it just gets old. The idea of doing this for the rest of my life is not appealing. I know, I know, my ancestors didn't have take-out and restaurants and they...

    I also can't handle grain alcohols so that's not an option as someone reminded me. But I have a killer recipe for a whisky marinade.

    I looked up tandoori recipes. How important is lemon juice to the taste and can you put it on the BBQ? I can't do citrus at all.

    With multiple allergies on top of being celiac my options seem to shrink by the day and it's not even officially July yet. I've got two more months of summer to go! I'm allergic to soy, all citrus, pineapple, sunflower and I limit tomatos and can't tolerate peppers. I don't do canned/bottled anything anymore so BBQ sauce is out. I've been doing oil...

    ROTFLMAO, if you can manage it, go upstairs and vomit on her carpet or sofa. Maybe then she'll get the hint. I'm sorry you got glutened. People can be so clueless. I say call in sick for the next four days and don't leave the bed.

    Brunch - Coffee, hashbrowns, scrambled eggs with Safeway Jalapeno and Cheddar sausage. Dinner - Pesto marinaded BBQ grilled shrimp in soft tacos with chopped lettuce, guacumole and sharp cheddar cheese. Fresh strawberries and yogurt for desert.

    The FDA Kava Kava warning was based on spotty data at best and is laughable when compared with the FDA's treatment of acetaminophen. Kava Kava has a long history of safe use with few truly well documented cases of liver damage: Open Original Shared Link By contrast acetaminophen is well documented as a cause of liver failure but the FDA has never said...

    I would agree that she needs to see someone just to rule out anything serious. With her history that would be the wise thing to do. Also keep in mind that where most of us screw up with the Celiac diet is when we go on vacation and are dependant on others to feed us or provide us with meals. Do you know if she ate gluten free while she was visiting?...

    If gluten foods have been made on that BBQ and the grill was not scrubbed down, and maybe even if it was, gluten can transfer onto new foods. In addition, if it's a charcoal BBQ many charcoal briquettes contain wheat as a binder. Kingsford charcoal last time I heard was gluten free and they use corn as a binder. The jury is kind of split as to whether...

    If I remember right from research several years ago; secondary sources are not required to be listed in detail on an ingredient list. What this means is if a manufacturer buys a product - say a spice mix - from another company and then uses that spice mix to make their product they are not required by law to list what's in the spice mix; it's a secondary...

    Buckwheat is not actually wheat, or even a grain. It is also a seed and is gluten free.
  13. VioletBlue
    Hogwash. All wheat, every strain of it contains gluten to some degree or another, even the very oldest non GMO strains. It is true wheat has been selectively bred over the centuries for a higher and higher gluten content. There are some strains that are higher and some that are lower in gluten, but they all carry the gluten protein. And we all know that...

    That's a really sad statement. You'd rather carry around a dirty life sucking parasite in your gut then avoid gluten. That's just sad.

    Well, I don't react to corn, corn oil or salt at any other time, anywhere else in any other product. What option does that leave?
  16. VioletBlue
    On chebe's site they sell 10 or 20lb, I can't remember which, packages of the basic mix. That is the cheapest way you can buy Chebe. From there you can make just about anything I've found. I keep the mix in the frig where it does take up some room, but I love it and it keeps in the frig quite nicely for some time. I make my own pizza crust because like...

    I usually make the crust out of a combination of ground pumpkin seeds, ground almonds some brown sugar a little rice flour and butter. I bake it first so when I smooth the cheesecake mixture over it it doesn't crumble the crust. When I make pumpkin cheesecake once a year I use mostly ground pumpkin seeds; it's an excellent compliment to the pumpkin filling...

    I had to stop eating Fritos and Cheetos as well. I reacted, particularly to the Fritos. That truly sucks because Fritos have such a simple ingredient list: corn, corn oil, salt. But it happens every single time with plain old Fritos. Fritos has this disclaimer on their website: "The above products do not contain gluten; however, they are produced...

    Yep, exactly. Ceramic can be cleaned. Some of the older cookers have plastic lids so I'd be worried about that. Look for one with a glass lid.

    I have found gentle stretching and daily walking to be helpful in lessening sciatica attacks. Just generally anything that creates more flexibility in the lower body seems to help. One of the stretches that tends to help me is sitting down with the soles of my feet together and gently bending down over my legs.

    I hear you. I'm getting really tired of chicken, but honestly beef and pork have become so expensive and fish is out of this world where I live. Our only Organic Store went out of business this month so things just got a little rougher in terms of finding gluten-free flours and products. I'm pretty much going to have to give up that whole segment of my...

    For me in the beginning I had to take it one day at a time. I could not let myself think "I can never eat bread again." Instead it was "I'm not having bread today." He he, there are still sometimes days like that four years later. It's a coping mechanism. Get through today and worry about tomorrow tomorrow. Don't beat yourself over the head with "I...
