    ARCHIVED Nuts!

    Piccolo replied to digmom1014's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Sarah, Have no fear the other nut butters taste terrific. I just wish I could afford to buy them more often. My favorite is macadamia nut butter. It is easy to make your own also. Just grind your favorite nut, sunflower seed, or pumpkin seed. You can buy sunflower seed butter that is very close to peanut butter. I like and enjoy them all. Just...

    3 groovy girls, Let me tell you about my experience. My reaction to gluten is gut pain. One time I started using my son's peanut butter. I wondered why later in the week my gut hurt. Also I was using the shared toaster and again my gut hurt until I got my own. So yes you need a gluten free toaster, butter, mayo etc. anything that can be dipped into...

    Hi, and welcome to the club. I have been gluten free for about 2 1/2 years. It took me a year before I was fully healed. There is yeast free bread available. I get mine from Ener-G. It is very dense and the only thing it is good for is toast. Here is my typical breakfast. Cooked cereal with brown sugar and milk (any kind) toast with butter substitute...

    Theclutterhouse, Welcome to the site. It is a great place for learning. Do you know if your children have other food sensitivities? That might be contributing to the problem. Also play dough has gluten. Dairy can also cause problems. What about all personal care products. They must be gluten free also. Susan

    Welcome, I am a native of Northwest Indiana currently living in the Atlanta area. I am from Gary. Gary is only about 30 miles from Chicago. The South Shore takes you right into the Chicago Loop. I don't know where the University of Chicago is either, but I hope this helps. The CTA is a good way to get around also. Susan

    I agree with every one else. I'm like you I need to gain weight. I am down to about 70 pounds at 4'11". I eat a different nut butter on my toast every morning. Macadamia nut is my favorite. One can also get Brazil nut, Hazel Nut, Pecan, Walnut butter. I just recently made up a trail mix. It has dried pineapple, cherries, pine nuts, sunflower seeds...

    Poppy Cat, It was the very same tests that led me to be gluten free. I tested positive to 21 different foods. Some of them I went back to eating as long as I rotate them in my diet. The two that I haven't gone back to is gluten and wheat. It has taken two years for my system to get normal and figure out what else was bothering me. Welcome to the...

    Country Girl, Welcome, When I get glutened I can have D, floaters, migraines, and the worst is a dizzy reaction that lasts 6 hours. That is the worst and I avoid this if at all possible. Another reaction I have is my colon starts hurting with continued exposure. My longest reaction took my a month to recover. My family and I eat gluten free, but...

    Melissa, Welcome to the board. There is a wealth of information here. I went gluten free when I had the same test your daughter had. I had been having GI problems for 20+ years. I was told I have IBS live with it. I now have been gluten free for over 2 years and my GI problems started clearing up immediately. I have had a few reactions and no way...

    Bananababy, Welcome to the club. I am 60. I am self diagnosed and went gluten free at 58. It has taken me at least a year to recover. My big side effect of going undiagnosed is I have severe osteoporosis. I was always told you have IBS live with it, but my colon was hurting all the time. I am nearly pain free now. I only start hurting when I get...

    Jamie, I can relate. My problem is weight. I have never made a weight chart in my life. I am in perfect health. I got turned down be several companies because of this. I finally got one at a higher rate just so I'd have life insurance. I was still under 100 pounds when I was 9 months pregnant. He is now 19 years old. Susan
  12. Piccolo
    Hay everyone! I can relate to the weight issue also. I struggle to reach 80. Have no fear I have been this weight for years. I only passed 80 when I was pregnant. I have a lot of nut butters as my calories and protein. I enjoy a variety that includes Brazil, Macadamia, Hazelnut and pecan as well as the usual almond, cashew, and peanut butter. ...

    ARCHIVED Boston Market

    Piccolo replied to mzcippy's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    mzcippy, I can't eat at Boston Market. I tried it once and had problems with it. It is the coating and spices they put on the chicken. There are several other resturants that I can't eat at either and I am not very sensitive. Susan

    Holdthegluten, I used Alletess Medical Laboratory, for my food sensitivities. They ran a panel for 96 different foods. I was sensitive to 21 of them including wheat and gluten. Thus started my gluten free life style. The test at the time was about $100.00. They can be reached at www.foodallergy.com Susan

    Woolygimp, Unfortunately Frito Lay is known for their cc. I think their Stax is done on a dedicated line. I once had one of their products that appeared safe. The only thing it had in it that was an obvious problem was oat flower (I don't react to oats). The next day my 6 hour dizzy spell hit and there was nothing I could do by lay there. Hope...

    ARCHIVED Hidden Gluten

    Piccolo replied to jjc's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    jjc Welcome! With Rice Chex it has to be the new box that reads gluten free. If it doesn't she got gluten. As for Rice Dream it contains gluten. The package used to say contains .002 ppm barley. So they have changed the package but not the formula. I would buy other rice, almond, hazelnut etc. milk. Pacific is a good brand. Susan

    Ken, I had to chime in here. I have been put on Red Yeast Rice to lower my cholestoral (sp). I don't know if it is sucessful yet. I'll know in July. It can be expensive depending on the brand and strength. I have been taking 833 mg. This is a specific brand and expensive. 600 mg can be found almost anywhere and cost under $20.00 1200 mg...

    ARCHIVED Concern

    Piccolo replied to solo's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Solo, I just noticed you are going gluten free. You stated that your pop tarts have wheat gluten in them. They are not safe. Being gluten free means not hving anything with Wheat, barley, rye, and sometimes oats. Susan

    Krista, I would go ahead and get that bone scan. Nothing was done for me. I am now under 60 years and I am being treated aggresivly for osteoprosis. I agreen with what has been previously said. Check your levels, get on a calcium supplement and magnesium and keep your bones healthy and strong. Susan

    Del I will be 60 in October. I have been gluten free almost 2 years. It took me about a year and a half before I was healed. So yes it is slow at our age. Because of no diagnosis for too many year I have severe osteoprosis and it is being treated aggressively so I don't have problems in the future. I also have multiple food sensitivities. Susan

    Mistilyn, You can find tomato free BBQ sauce and ketchup on this site here. Just click on the menu at the left and find condiments. On the second page there are items by NO-Mato. This should be what you want. Susan

    Dear Lizz I just found a butter from Prosperity Organic foods. The ingredients are extra-virgin, unproceswsed coconut oil, fkax seed oil, rosemary extract and ascorbic acid. It comes in four flavors original, sweet orange, basil and garlic & onion. I cannot find where to buy it at the moment. Amazon will be carrying it but not right now. They...

    Harrisgirl, Welcome to the board and Atlanta. I live just west of the city and ride MARTA. I work in the midtown area of the city. This June I will be gluten free for 2 years. There are several more of us from the Atlanta area on this board. You can pm me anytime. Again Welcome! Susan

    Magdalena Rose A good place to find nut butters is Futter's Nut Butters. They make quiet a variety and they are all safe. The company is near Chicago in Buffalo Grove, Illinois. I reall like these nut butters. Susan
