    I have to vote for Trader Joes, it is cheaper and it makes awesome brownies that have the thin crust over the tops that cracks when you bite it (that's my favorite part) I add choco chips and it is even better

    I hope you don't have any more allergies or intolerances, but just so you know I had a bunch or skin and blood tests for allergies and nothing showed up not even things I knew I was already allergic to like peanuts. My dr. explained the tests had about a 50% accuracy, and I did find I did have reactions (sometimes very strong) to foods which I tested negative...

    you could possibly have additional intolerances that could be holding you back. I know that Ensure is almost 100% highly processed corn and soy, not good for you even if you can have them, there is another vitamin drink I use called mix 1 that is more natural. You could try adding more good fat to each meal to up your calories, like olive oil and avocado...

    you need something acidic like lemon juice, if you google soaking grains you will find a lot of info from people who know more than me and they might have other suggestions posted

    I forgot to add when you are baking you only soak the flours and sugar in the kefir mixture and when they are done soaking then you add the rest of the ingredients and bake as normal. Things you make like this come out so fluffy and tender it is amazing

    I am on a 4 day rotation with all foods I can tolerate, to prevent new intolerances from developing. you can by sprouted rice at some places like Whole Foods, but one way you can do it cheap is I throw my brown rice in the rice cooker cover with water and add lemon juice about a Tbsp a cup I think (I got this info people posted online mostly from a book...

    I am also vegetarian and there is still tons of stuff for you to eat If you have a Trader Joes near you they have tons of gluten free food much cheaper, I like their brown rice pasta the best, they have mac and cheese, brownie mix, pancake mix, and they will print out a list of all the gluten free stuff they carry if you ask. you can make rice, risotto...

    I like this recipe but find it too sweet, if I reduce the amount of sugar do I need to add something else since it is the only dry ingredient?

    There are some place in Long Beach I like on 2nd st which is practically the OC like Z pizza and Natraj Indian are gluten free friendly Veggie Grill in Irvine is good And Disneyland is gluten free friendly, go to the restaurants at the hotels so you don't need to go into Disneyland and I think most will validate your parking (ours was)

    stop eating bread, then try again in a month or two it will taste better. I like Pamelas bread mix for regular bread and chebe for rolls. Chebe has a nice crunchy outside chewy inside texture that other gluten free breads don't have, but let it cool a little it can be gummy inside when it is hot.

    do you have time to go home between work and dinner? You can have dinner then meet everyone at the restaurant and have salad or steamed veggies. You can also excuse yourself and speak to your waiter away from the table if you don't want attention on yourself.

    I am not grain free but I can't have corn and have problems with rice if I eat too often. I am also on a rotation diet and on the day I eat grains I try to eat them sprouted or fermented and this helps a lot especially with the rice. I also have problems with beans and quinoa if I eat too often (maybe once or twice a month is OK) but sprouted I can tolerate...

    Use more water to avoid the thick starchy film, when you first put the pasta in the water stir it really well and stir more often while it is cooking. I find stirring it really well in the beginning and more often toward the end keeps it from sticking to itself and the pan

    Do you like pesto? I use a really good fresh pesto that has no dairy, you could also make your own, toss with things like sauteed zucchini, fresh tomatoes and maybe toasted pine nuts

    in Hollywood area Hugo's is great, they have a menu up online and I drool every time I read it I also like Veggie Grill in Irvine
  16. Janessa
    hi I think I am going through something similar to you, I have been a vegetarian for 15 years and gluten-free for about 2 and half years. I continued to have problems and have to be off corn, soy, peanuts, bananas, kiwi, onion, squash, raspberries, dairy, legumes, quinoa, sweet potato, spinach, and some more random ones and have to rotate the foods that...

    Check out this website, she has lots of recipes that are free of eggs, dairy ect and everything I have made from here has been amazing Open Original Shared Link

    I use chebe all the time and I love it but I can have eggs, I had to make it once without eggs and it was as you described white, didn't rise and gummy inside If you still have some at home I recommend you make crackers (I usually use the cinnamon mix but you could add cinnamon or other flavors) and roll them very thin otherwise you get a chewy cracker...

    Think about Indian food and Thai, a lot of their dishes are naturally free of the foods you can't have and super flavorful Also the Gluten Free Vegan is a great cookbook for ideas and dishes and baked goods with eggs, ect..

    I had something like this happen to me, all food I ate tasted weird. I couldn't smell properly and my doctor ran lots of tests but it didn't go away until I went on an elimination diet and figured out it was corn causing it. Hope you figure it out
  23. Janessa
    When I went gluten light (before I even knew what gluten was) I did see an improvement, but you will probably notice that you feel even worse when you eat gluten again and will probably start avoiding it at home too. If there is not too much gluten food at home best to have your husband help you get rid of it, or you can donate to a food bank to help out...

    The lack of other things in your diet could be the source of your symptoms, not enough protein and vitamins could probably cause depression You could try an elimination diet, eliminating the fruits you suspect and then add them back one at a time to see if you react

    Belmont Shore 2nd St has several good places to eat Magic Lamp - Lebanese, the falafels and many other items are gluten free and they are always super nice Indian place - don't remember the name but there is only one is very good Z pizza - has gluten free crust
