    Ok. So I'm having a slight obsession with toast right now. I haven't given in to the craving but last night it was all I could think about. Can't wait for Phase 1 to be over and to get rid of the cravings. I am happy to say that I've lost 2 pounds already. YAY! Which is what is keeping me going. Today's plan: Breakfast - one egg over easy and canadian...

    Oooh - strawberry season. I forgot about that. Maybe I'll have to modify phase 1 too. I have another recipe for you all. I made this last night and it is soooo good. Sausage and Cheese Breakfast Cups Makes 6 cups Ingredients 4 ounces turkey sausage or crumbled turkey bacon 1/2 green bell pepper, chopped 1/4 onion, chopped 5 large eggs...

    It's day two. How's everyone doing? Yesterday went really well, but eggs every morning is starting to bother me already. Oh well, it's only for two weeks. Time to buck up. It will be worth it in the end.

    Gina, You can have canned tuna. Cheese (low fat) and cottage cheese are also allowed. If you send me your email address I can send you the phase 1 list of foods to enjoy and avoid. These are some of the tuna/vegetable based recipes I found so far. If you like chicken there's a lot of yummy recipes. White Bean and Tuna Salad Serves 2 Ingredients...

    The great thing about this diet is how forgiving it is. At least that's been my experience. When I did it the first time I found I could cheat once a week and not ruin the whole thing. The diet was set up knowing that we will make mistakes and that we are only human. I think that's what I like best about it. Dr. A really gets it. What are you in the mood...

    You could start it this week and then maybe just do an extra week of Phase 1. But if you want to wait until after your vacation (which is completely understandable) we'll be right here. Just join us then. Hope you have a wonderful trip! Beth

    You can definitely join us! Glad to have you on board. South Beach is so easy to do. You won't even feel like you are dieting. I joined South Beach Diet online so if anyone needs any info just let me know. Today is the start of Phase 1 for me. My goal is to lose 25 pounds. Beth

    How about a new thread? This way if anyone else wants to join us they can. Beth

    I used to love Annie's Asian Sesame Dressing but had to give it up because of the gluten in it. Does anyone have a recipe for a salad dressing similar to this? Or is there a gluten free premade one that you like? Thanks!
  11. Dandelion
    Thanks for the reply. Count me in!!!!!!! I will officially be starting on Monday.

    Laura, I was so excited to find your thread! I've done South Beach in the past and lost 30 pounds without even exercising. It was really easy. I want to start it up again but have some questions. In Phase 2 what do you do about the starches (breads, cereals, etc)? When I did the diet before I used whole wheat products. So I guess my question is - can you...

    ARCHIVED Stout Nyc

    Dandelion posted a topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    I've dined at Stout a number of times and I just wanted to let everyone know how superbly wonderful this place is. They are so accomodating and are really willing to work with you to have a gluten free dining experience. When I go I email Gail (I think she's the owner, but she might be the manager) and let her know I am coming. Here's an one of the emails...

    I buy them individually from Gluten Free Pantry website. You can also go to the My Own Meals website and purchase them. They have more flavors than GFP.

    I've tried the My Kind of Chicken, Chicken and Black Beans and Chicken Mediterranean. I thought they were good. I keep a few of them in my desk drawer at work for when I really don't feel like bringing in lunch. They only take 2 minutes in the microwave.

    I love suon nuong which is charcoal grilled pork chops that have been marinated in lemon grass, honey or sugar, garlic and fish sauce. Sooooo good. Highly recommend it. I get it every time I have Vietnamese. I like it so much I even make it on the grill at home. I think it should be safe. Make sure the fish sauce is gluten free. Com Chien which is a type...

    One of my dearest friends is having her daughter's first birthday party at La Lanterna in Yonkers. Has anyone eaten there? What did you get? I sent an email over to them explaining my situation and I hope they are willing to accomodate me. I'd really hate to miss this party.

    oh duh! I bet they aren't. Such a dumb newbie mistake. I didn't think they were since the distended abdomen is my only symptom. I can usually tell if I've been glutened. Anyone know of a gluten free acid reducer? I have to be on it for at least three months according to the doctor. Had no luck with prilosec.
  19. Dandelion
    Before going gluten free my abdomen was constantly distended. I could have passed for a pregnant woman it was so bad. Once I went gluten free my abdomen flattened out. All was fine and good until I went for my endoscopy in mid-April. I've been completely bloated since. Anyone else have this reaction? I haven't had any gluten since then. All I can think of...
  20. Dandelion
    Thank you all so much for your advice. It's comforting to know that you are out there. I will definitely stay gluten free since gluten and I can't seem to play nicely with each other.
  21. Dandelion
    I wish I could give you an answer. I had the same symptoms but it was prior to be gluten free. It has something to do with neuropathy I think. Someone who is a more advanced member can fill you in on that. Maybe that's what is happening to you? I hope you feel better.

    My bloodtest came back negative, but my doctor felt that because of my symptoms and relief from not eating gluten that we should go ahead with the endoscopy and biopsy. To give you a little background, I was diagnosed with IBS two years ago, but never got any better no matter what I tried for it. This January I decided to try a gluten free diet to see if...

    I was getting terrible cystic acne until I went gluten free. It mostly went away when I switched cleansers. But what has really cleared up my skin and gotten rid of acne marks is Derma | Style by Lumiport Portable Acne Light Pen. I got it at drugstore.com. It's pretty expensive but I have to tell you it's completely worth every penny. I decided to get it...

    ARCHIVED Long Island Doctor?

    Dandelion replied to justme's topic in Doctors

    I go to Dr. Gary Schwartz of Gastroenterology Associates. They are located at 1103 Stewart Avenue in Garden City. 516-248-3737. I love Dr. Schwartz. He really listens to you and doesn't have one of those doctor superiority complexes. They also have a website - Open Original Shared Link.
