My friend who eats dairy free gave me this recipe and it can naturally be made gluten-free. Served it last night for dessert and the whole family loved it! Pumpkin Pecan Pie 1 unbaked crust (I crumbled gluten-free cookies and added melted butter and sugar & pressed in pie pan) 15oz can pumpkin 1/3c brown sugar 1/3c white sugar 3/4t. cinnamon...

Thanks all! Maybe I'm over thinking this too much. I just wanted to replicate her recipe and didn't know if just adding a gluten-free gravy pack would ruin it. I guess I have to experiment as usual :0)

thank you both! Most of the time we can make things gluten-free and just substitute, but then we have to be challenged!!

My friend gave me a recipe for Italian Beef Sandwiches and you add a packet of Au Jus gravy dry seasoning pack to the crock pot. Are any of these gluten free? Or how do I make my own for this? Any ideas?

Thanks Nora for the information. I'll check it out.

I spent months working w/ a nutrtionist, cutting out food groups, adding more protein, more HCl/digestive enzymes etc. to no avail. Then, I really started concentrating on my thyroid/adrenals instead and did extensive testing. All trying to "guess" what was wrong with me despite going gluten-free. Kept getting worse and worse. I've been around the...

Here were my enterolab results a year ago: antigliadin igA 15 transglutaminase igA 18 fecal fat 771 one celiac/one gluten gene Anyway, I've been gluten-free one year and retested the fecal fat score which came back 288 (normal). I have a lot of other health problems mostly thyroid/adrenal and being gluten free hasn't really helped me at all...

Thank you all for your responses. I did have a long talk with both my ND and nutritionist about this and why I didn't seem to react at all and neither one of them were surprised at all. They said based on how much damage I still have and because I have the chronic fatigue. I was just disappointed because I am paranoid I'm getting gluten in even though...

Ok, I've been gluten-free 7-1/2 months, but haven't gotten better. My main complaint is chronic fatigue. I also have Hashimoto's. So I decided to try some gluten because I really don't have an obvious symptom when I eat it. Last night we went to Pizza Hut and I ate pizza/breadsticks. I was expecting something awful to happen, but honestly no reaction...

Thank you Colleen. I will try this.

I usually use Chebe pizza mix and have really enjoyed it until now. Last night I used Ener G egg replacer because I'm eliminating eggs right now. It was awful! Chalky, chewy, falling apart. What did I do wrong? How else can I make my stand by pizza crusts without eggs? Any advice? Thanks!

Thank you Rachel for all of your help and knowledge! Thank you also for the list of tests. That is very helpful for me. My nutritionist is trying to get me the CDSA as we talk so hopefully I can start there.

itchygirl, Yes you see an associate of Mercola's trained by him for $2700, which covers 2 days of visits/tests Rachel, By the way, what IS the CAUSE of leaky gut? Your reasoning sure makes a whole lot of sense, but how do you test the cause of it?

Rachel, Thanks for your help. A lot to think about!! I've had 2 Myers and have felt awful after both. Not sure what that means?! A detoxing perhaps? No, I have never had blood testing for deficiences, only energetic testing. To complete what you said about assuming what is wrong - my husband told me tonight he is tired of me doing that and...

Sorry, another question: should I continue the Myer's cocktail? My nutritionist highly recommends it. Couldn't I just assume I have parasites, infections etc. and do humaworm? I want to make it clear that I don't know if I am reacting to foods at all or all. Why I'm not getting better being gluten and dairy free is a mystery. Is it my hashimoto...
