    I'd never gotten over always having some blemishes, although limiting fat and going off dairy really helps. (My daughter breaks out whenever she has dairy.) At the beginning of the year, I had a test result from Enterolab indicating a soy intolerance. I never noticed a reaction to the stuff at all. But I thought I would go off it and see what happened...

    The stuff I took years ago when I had the MdDS really bad apparently doesn't exist anymore. I remember taking a 24% standardized extract product (a smaller mg total too) and it not working. Then I upped it to a higher standardized extract and a higher mg (basically the highest I could find) and found immediate relief. I remember spelling it all out on...

    The place to start is reading labels. But you already knew that, right It helps to go through cookbooks and even get some more of them. Look at recipe sites online, too. Center on what you CAN have, and you will find there are lots of possibilities. The worst thing is probably restaurants. You will just have to work up a repetoire of places you...

    I figured that is what was going on. But I thought I would double-check because every so often I learn that something is iffy that I had never suspected. This morning, for instance, I read on another forum that some teas contain gluten. Huh Living with this really becomes a person's hobby doesn't it -- figuring out what to eat, talking to other...

    The problem is that my symptoms with soy are very subtle. I never suspected a problem until the results of the Enterolab test came back, I cut out soy, and then saw how I felt. According to the book Food Allergy Survival Guide: "Fortunately, soy rarely causes anaphylaxis; but unfortunately, people with soy allergy or intolerance may suffer from varying...

    The question was about something labeled as "modified CORN starch." Are you saying that in countries outside the US this product might have gluten? I'd never heard that before.

    Oh, let's not get me worrying about ghee now. I had read that was safe I don't cook with it because I think it looks gross. But I go to Indian restaurants and don't worry. Should I? Maybe I don't want to know. Is it even possible to get something in an Indian restaurant that doesn't have ghee in it? Anywho, I got the following response back from...

    Tasty Bite & Thai Kitchen have some gluten-free offerings, too. (Just read the boxes, not everything is). I'm surprised that the vegiac.com board doesn't work. Perhaps your spam filter is eliminating the confirmation email? I know all the emails I get from that board show up in my spam file. I had a problem with the celiac.com board as...

    Does barley grass not contain gluten? I would think it would ... but I don't really know. Anyway, it does seem possible you have food intolerance issues. You can be tested for celiac and see if that is it. You could also go on an elimination diet and work out what your problem foods may be. (I can find a link to one version of such a diet if you are...

    Yes, it is safe.

    Email sent. I'll let you know what I hear back. I do hate their form. You are limited to a certain number of characters and I always have to revise and revise to get under the limit. I guess I have a problem being succinct

    I don't have the original email, but I quote it in a February 20th post on another forum, where I said I just had received the response. So it was that day or the previous one, probably. My questions and their responses: "Your Question: Some questions for you, given my results: 1. Do you have any lists of what to avoid with soy and yeast sensitivities...

    Well, isn't that interesting. When I asked Enterolab what I had to avoid given my test result, they emailed me back and told me that soy lecithin should be OK but everything else was off-limits So I've been merrily eating things with soy lecithin. (For "things," you can pretty much say "dark chocolate" and not be far off ) I don't have any major...

    The two cookbooks I linked to are the ones I have used. I particularly like the 5-ingredient cookbook, since I seem to be slow when it comes to wielding a knife Here is one example of a recipe from that book, which I posted on another list (under a different name): Open Original Shared Link It is for a baked risotto. Really if you have arborio...

    This is the Yahoo discussion group: Open Original Shared Link This is the website for the group itself: Open Original Shared Link I haven't been to any of the meetings yet, even though I live about 5 minutes from where they meet. There is a meeting this Saturday. This time I have to go to a picnic for my husband's firm at his boss' house (and take...

    Really, the "getting enough protein" issue with a vegan diet is a common misperception. There is no need to eat soy, count grams, or go to special lengths to get enough. Unless one is eating junk (or nothing other than fruit), one easily gets all the protein (and all the essential amino acids) one needs. One does not get all the protein one gets from a...

    Look at the right hand corner of the thread title line. You will see a box that says "options." You can set your display preference from there.

    I would be interested in knowing how you do with Viking. I had similar dietary needs and was assured by a different line (Amadeus) that they could accommodate me on a Budapest to Amsterdam trip. They did a substandard job on that. I hope you do better ... One resource I found before my trip was www.menudata.com. It is a free service where you can put...

    Do the ingredients lists you are looking at NOT explain what it in the soy sauce or whatever that is an ingredient in something else? I thought that was required by law, although I'm not sure of that. I know that the products I've looked at will list soy sauce, then say what the ingredients of that is in parentheses. Certainly if a wheat-containing soy...

    Pretty exciting about the gluten-free pizza possibility. I haven't been to Lilit's, even though I live in Bethesda, since they don't seem to have anything (yet) that I can eat. But pizza ... I heard recently about a place in northern Virginia that is supposed to have gluten-free pizza, although there was a report that they can run out. I would hate...

    I'll answer you here rather than in your PM to me so others can see or jump in with comments. I'm vegetarian too (essentially eat a vegan diet) so what I eat might not agree with what you want to! I've been able to convert a lot of my previous recipes to being gluten-free -- e.g., use a gluten-free pasta, use quinoa or kasha to sub for couscous and...

    I will throw this out for what it is worth. I haven't suffered from the sort of dizziness being mentioned (only dizziness from time to time when I first stand up), but I am prone to a balance disorder known as mal de debarquement syndrome. It causes a sufferer to feel like she is on a rocking boat and follows cruises or long plane trips. (yes, it is mostly...

    I bought the Clan Thompson lists, then found I don't really use them. I guess I don't buy the brands that they check out or my diet is too far away from the standard American diet. Mostly I read labels and stick with those things that clearly label what are in them. If there is something I'm still unsure of, I try researching on the internet. Frequently...

    The important thing to do with quinoa is to thoroughly rinse it. The plant makes its own bitter tasting pesticide substance that needs to be taken off. It isn't harmful to human health, but it can make the quinoa taste strange. So the disgust could have been due to any such residue, rather than anything inherent in the quinoa. I make mine with water all...
