Does that mean we shouldn't reference blog posts? Or does that mean we need to put

the link to the blog post?

I'm thinking that if you put a little ice cream or whipped cream on them, you could pass them off as dessert!

There will be images of Pop-tarts swirled with whip cream dancing in my head tonight.

Devil woman.

The 'bagels' are just the same recipe as the baguette and the roll, just with a hole in the

middle. Prices around here, you wind up getting more product for your dollar if you buy

the 'bagels'. Those products are pretty much food crack.   They make spot-on garlic

bread.

I've also had the Starfish brand fish, I thought it was tasty too! I recently saw

in a store they have shrimp now, little sad I'm grain free now.....

I have to step in and say something about your comment.

 

You could not possibly be more wrong in your assessment of Gemini.

Common sense is her strongest asset. She is, in fact, the first person who reached out to me when I first came on this site and she has more compassion in her little finger than most people I know.  She is very celiac-savvy and knows more about autoimmune diseases than most people, offered me her personal help when I was struggling (because I too had a soy, dairy and about 10 other foods intolerance going on) and I have even met her in person. She is a down-to-earth, funny woman.

 

What she isn't --is a "coddler".

 

Just because she tells it like it is---does not mean she is "abusive" in any way and I do not see any violation of the rules.

 

Her approach may be  different from mine, perhaps, but she is always willing to help.

I for one, appreciate her "veteran" knowledge.

I'm sorry to beat a dead horse, but I just don't see how responding to a heartfelt post about the profound

effects that chronic depression has on someone with "When you stop feeling sorry for yourself" qualifies

as 'telling it like it is'.

Smushed avocados?

I got sick a little while after breakfast this morning, nausea and vomited once.  I made a breakfast sammie with an Udi's bagel, Boar's Head Horseradish cheddar, one egg, and a couple of those Jimmy Dean frozen pre-cooked sausage patties.  The sausage ingredients seemed fine, the only suspicious thing is soy protein.  Could I be sensitive to that as well? Or maybe it could be the cheese, probably should lay off the dairy,  but never had a problem with it before.  I'm so confused!!

 

Perhaps keeping a food journal from now on would be of benefit.

Food journals are good! Are these the symptoms you get from other food intolerances? Have you

researched whether Jimmy Dean sausages are gluten-free? Are you maybe pregnant?

When you stop feeling sorry for yourself, maybe we can have a conversation.  You are attacking people for stating the obvious and making excuse after excuse for people here that make bad decision after bad decison and then want a pat on the back saying it's not their fault.  It's the sad state of society today.  I hope you can get past your issues and be healthy and happier than you appear now.  I know, what a jerk I am for accomplishing that on my own.  We are talking about making bad Celiac food decisions, not depression.

 

BTW...lactose is dairy so not sure what that statement is all about.

Gemini, you just responded to a post about depression with 'When you stop feeling sorry for yourself.'

It would be hard, in my opinion, to be more inappropriate.

It doesn't matter if she's on topic. Everyone who posts here has a moral responsibility not to abuse the

other members. I am not aware as to how the board rules are worded, as I can't find them right now,

but I'm pretty sure board rule #1 requires no abusive behavior. If I read this as abusive, how much more

caustic must it seem to the person it's directed at?

Well, the words 'food poisoning' are accepted as referring to food-borne illness. So

are they saying that a glutening makes you more susceptible to food-borne illness?

So confused.....

Kittty, I didn't lose all control, don't worry. But it is fun to drink and let loose every once in a while.

 

I suppose my question was this. Before I went to sleep, I had the clarity to go home, set my alarm, get into my night clothes, and so forth and I did all those things without having to think. I'm wondering if one day I'll not eat gluten accidently without having to think. It will just be natural for me.

 

I hope to get to that point at least.

To answer your question, there is no guarantee that you will ever 'behave' with your diet if you

have gotten so drunk that you don't remember doing the things you're talking about. If there's

enough alcohol in your system to make you forget what you've done, there's enough alcohol

in your system to make you forget your diet, too. It's possible, I've been FANTASTICALLY

snockered and still turned down all food (I just refuse to eat when I'm drunk  )

but I know that about myself. So it's possible that you'll get there too. However, I've never in

my life managed to down enough alcohol to make me black out. I think it's cuz I'm Polish

So I don't know whether I would forget my diet during an amnesiac inebriation, because it's

never happened to me. I'd say it could go either way, and that for now it would be best to

keep the alcohol down to a reasonable volume.

"Acute food poisoning can occur after gluten exposure"? What does that even mean?.....

Maybe cook beans and then make flour out of them? No idea if that would work.

Also, big giggle at your topic heading... :lol:

I'd say it's likely the Rice Dream. There's been too many reports of issues with it

here on the board to count.

Survey says: Lay off the rum for now.   

Give it a few months and when you do go out to drink again, don't get all drunk, silly!

Peanut butter?

Given that you've tried lactose free products and still have issues, it's likely an intolerance of

the protein in cow's milk, called casein, that's affecting you. The advice to try a little goat's

milk still holds, although if you're worried about the cost of fish, then the cost of goat's milk

products will be fairly high for you as well. Perhaps a fairly inexpensive hemp protein powder

for the calories? You could throw a bit here and there into those smoothies.

Definitely start being more vigilant about cross-contamination. That's frequently the culprit

with people who feel better for a while and then feel worse again. You might also try getting

some coconut products into your diet, especially coconut oil. You could even make homemade

raw or cooked granola with your nuts and seeds. As with anything, give yourself a few weeks

on your safe diet before trying, and only try one new thing at a time.

Well, have you had any episodes of a glutening where you knew for sure you'd been hit?

That sounds pretty severe to be a glutening to me. It does happen to some people, but it's

fairly rare for that reaction to a glutening to come out of nowhere when it's never happened

before. I'd say it was probably the stomach flu, especially with the fever. Celiac-associated

fevers don't tend to get over 99.5 (which is purely an anecdotal observation from what

people have said on the board here).

Oh it comes up if you google it it's not currently being sold on Amazon so it didnt come up

with an amazon search.

Oh when I search Amazon it only comes up with the hot cereal. Ain't that odd?

Stupid websites!

Where did you find reviews for The Eco-planet toaster pastries? I think I'm internet

challenged!

Oh, my #$%$$ $%&#@ $%&** THEY'RE FROSTED.

The difference between corn and wheat plastic is that with corn plastic, they make it with the food part of corn. The part you, and many others, have a problem with. With wheat plastic, it is  made from wheat straw, the leftovers after harvesting the food, which contains no gluten and which would pose no risk to any of us. Taking the time to understand the science makes this a lot less freaky.

 

We also aren't talking about when and if they start doing these things. They are being done and have been being done for quite some time. This isn't new, it is just news for some. If it hasn't caused any of us harm yet, it is difficult to believe it will suddenly begin causing us harm just because we know about it.

 

Look, I'm not trying to be argumentative... but at some point reason and science need to intervene over our irrational fears.

Actually, the article clearly stated that wheat stubble, or grass, is used for certain things, and that

wheat starch, which (I think?) must come from the grain itself, is used for other things. Now, I hope

sincerely that the OP has gotten over their initial freak-out reaction to this. It's easy to freak out at

everything. As for me, this article has not created any irrational fears, but honest curiosity. Obviously,

it's a generic statement being made by the grower's association, not any of the actual companies

that produce any of these products. I still think it warrants some attention paid, at least by me. I,

personally, would like to know what cups and eating utensils they're referring to. Maybe I'll write

to them.

If it's lactose intolerance that's removed your dairy, maybe try goat milk products? I'd give yourself

a few weeks on your 'safe' diet and then see if you can tolerate a little goat cheese. Also, any

reason to be avoiding eggs?

My concerns on that list would be plastic film-used regularly to cover food for storage, EATING UTENSILS- ,

medical swabs, biodegradable packaging-when I buy organic veggies at my local grocery chain they are

frequently packaged in this, and textile finishing agents. With the textiles it doesn't seem likely to be a problem,

it would just wash out I'd think. But what kind of medical swab? I'd love to see an actual list of brands and

companies that do this. Obviously, when in doubt wash your food off first and don't lick your packaging. But

cups? What kind of cups? That's an incredibly open-ended list..... I don't care if skeet pigeons have wheat in

them, but I do care if food packaging does.

Nice work!
