    So far I have squeezed in 55 g! I still have that deer to eat tonight. I have been eating something every 2 hours and after 2 hours rolls around, I'M STARVING! Maybe that will subside. After just doing this today tho, I can tell a difference in my energy. I actually have some today. ps. the only reason I got the 55 right now is that...

    You all are giving me suggestions I haven't even thought of. Thanks!! I really wouldn't be able to do this without you all. My nutritionist didn't even tell me anything. Thanks so much!

    Thanks for all the wonderful suggestions. I will have to try them. My husband came home today and said he was afraid I was going to die. He said I really need to try and eat what you all are saying. I will. I want to. My body is taking my muscles for protein. With the celiac and all, I just never thought it would be stealing from my muscles...

    I guess it seems hard. lol. I seem to not eat very much despite being very hungry. I am thankful for the food suggestions. I just can't seem to think anymore. I just feel so bad right now. I really don't like eggs, except deviled. What is hummus and what do you do with it? Thanks

    My doctor wants me to try to get 90 grams of protein a day. I counted it up and I am getting 25-30 a day. I just don't think I can get that much. I have a protein shake that is 17 grams. Maybe that will help. My left leg is wasting away and we didn't know why. I guess my body is stealing protein from my muscles. That would explain my extreme fatigue...

    I LOVE fish! You should try talapia with magno salsa. It is soooo good and refreshing.

    I had positive blood work and with the positive diet response and the positive ttg from enterolab, my doctor gave me the diagnosis without endo. I said, with positive blood work, I really don't want to have to go through an endo. We agreed that the end results would be a gluten free diet anyway. So no endo.

    I'm not really sure. lol. I do know that it is superfine. Also, it is an all inclusive blend that you use cup for cup. I am not sure of the blend measurements, but I tell ya, it's wonderful. I wondered too, because I use those flours before with xanthan gum, but it still came out crumbly or hard, etc. This is different. I just am very happy with it...

    Well, here's my story. As a child I always had problems "going" My belly stuck out and I was stick thin. My mom just said it was because I was so skinny that my intestines were bulging out. Don't ask me. That is how it was until I had my son. After I had him, my neurological system went haywire. I was diagnosed with Myasthenia Gravis soon after...

    I ordered some of this in hopes of better baking. I LOVE IT! I made a pizza tonight with the recipe that was on the bag and it came out better than my gluten pizza used to. My husband said, "I think I can get used to this gluten free thing." It was wonderful. I am going to make some cookies tomorrow and see how that goes. I am very pleased with this...

    Does the vitamix get it "superfine"?
  12. bakinghomesteader
    I get that way often. BUT, I have myasthenia gravis which is a neuromuscular autoimmune disease. You may want to get checked for that. It can be very dangerous (trouble swallowing, breathing, droopy eyes, weak neck, arms, legs, voice, etc) STephanie

    Thank you all for your posts! Fedora, I am not offended I was able to go to an Amish community and a store there carries an all purpose everything included flour. No having to buy everything separate will save me some money. I am glad for this. Trying to not get glutened is hard. I get confused with some labels for stuff like bbq sauce. I have...

    I stopped all the way Saturday. I feel a little better, but I am still tired and bloated. Since I am not absorbing nutrients very well, I guess that's why, plus I'm a little depressed that now I know. I really have to be careful. But, I'm a little happy too now that I know positively. It's just that I don't have any money for the superfine rice flour...

    No, I did not get a gene test done. Just a ttg from them. Don't beat my husband up too much. He just wanted to be sure and for me not to have to burden myself if I didn't have too. He thought it was something else and not gluten. He thought maybe I had an ulcer or gallbladder probs. I had that tested too and they were negative. She did say that my...

    I did a gluten challange for about 6 weeks. My husband wanted to know for sure, and so did I. At first, it was ok. I ate it with no problems. But, after about 3-4 weeks the symptoms came back. This time there was a new one, dizziness. My bloodwork came back postive. I am just recently gluten free again, but the symptoms were more intense this time...

    Well, my husband wanted a firm diagnosis to justify not eating gluten. He didn't want me to not eat it if I didn't have to. So he wanted me to get bloodwork done. I had to eat gluten for a little over a month and I was so sick. I had it drawn and stopped eating it again after getting really sick. (dizzy, diarrhea, nausea) I went to the doc today...
  18. bakinghomesteader
    wow, well, I guess there are people out there that are negative from there. lol. I really didn't think I was going to get a response. I will talk with my husband again about this. thanks!
  19. bakinghomesteader
    I had a test done from enterolab. It was positive for ttg. I want my son to have a test done (he is 10) but my husband is very skeptical about this place. He thinks they have a hidden agenda or something. My son did have blood work done several months ago, and it was negative. Thanks

    Well, guys, I got it. It's funny you should say something about the Health Valley soups. I just discovered them at Krogers and am so excited now. I am using a copy cat recipe for the Cracker Barrel Hashbrown casserole. Yeah. Thanks all!
  21. bakinghomesteader
    I sure would like to have a hashbrown casserole this Christmas, but I can't find one gluten free. Does anyone have a recipe they use? Thanks!
  22. bakinghomesteader
    Well, I just got my results back today. They were positive. I had the ttg done. Now I feel like I actually belong here. I had been gluten free for 2 months when I had the test. Btw, my arthritis pain has gone away mostly. I still have pain in my knee at times. But my hands are better. Yeah! Go Gluten Free! It has helped me tremendously. I hate...
  23. bakinghomesteader
    That is so weird! I was just going to post that question. "Has anyone ever gotten a negative result from Enterolab" I just got mine back today, they were positive. Just confirmed what I thought. Now my husband will be even more supportive.
  24. bakinghomesteader
    I think i got glutened the other day. Boy oh boy. My stomach hurt so bad. Not like I was going to have diarrhea or a stomach ache, but pain in my upper quadrant. I was doubled over, etc. It also hurt my stomach to walk. This lasted for 3 to 4 days. Sheesh. We went out to eat at Cracker Barrel because we were on the road for a trip and I order what...
  25. bakinghomesteader
    That's just it. I want to do this because I am not sure. I have eliminated dairy and my previous symptoms are coming back. Bloating, constipation, irritability etc. I want to know if this is my problem so I am not eating gluten-free in vain. I feel the way I did before going gluten-free and I haven't changed anything. So I would like to know through...
