    Thanks, Stephanie! With my 5 pound tub of Adams no stir peanut butter, box of quinoa flakes and other ingredients on hand, I'll have to try that recipe. YUMMY! BURDEE

    Hi DFISH: Before I tell you what I eat while abstaining from gluten/dairy/soy, I suggest you go to www.gfcfdiet.com (website for parents who use Gluten-free Casein-free diet to control their autistic children's symptoms) and order their shopping guide. Obviously, you will have to contact manufacturers or check items for soy, but that guidebook is a good...

    I just tried Ener-G Foods brownies yesterday. If you like cooky crisp on the outside, chewy-on-the-inside brownies, don't bother with Ener-G's version. If you like brownies which taste like heavy chocolate cake, you'll love these. The package even suggests splitting the brownie chunk into 2 horizonal layers and frosting them like a cake. After tasting...

    Per my Enterolab test results last July I went absolutely dairy free as well as gluten free. Abstaining from casein (in dairy) eliminated ALL my chronic sinus problems and almost all allergy symptoms (still react to cats and tree pollen) and completely resolved my chronic LIFELONG constipation problems. (I now react to gluten contamination with 'classic...

    Hi Chrissy and MrsFish (who requested this recipe): Here's the recipe for Almond Quinoa Cookies, slightly abridged from Karen Robertson's "Cooking Gluten Free" Cookbook with dairy/soy/egg free substitutes: ALMOND QUINOA (CHOCOLATE CHIP) COOKIES (Makes 5 Dozen Plus) Preheat oven to 375 degrees (F). In a large bowl cream together: 1 cup unsalted...

    I just this afternoon baked a batch of quinoa chocolate chip cookies from the Karen Robertson "Cooking Gluten Free" Cookbook. Those cookies are so close to regular oatmeal chocolate chip cookies that I have to hide them from my nonceliac husband if I want any. If anyone who does not have that cookbook needs the recipe, lemmeno ... and I'll print it here...

    Hi Abby: I have to admit that my first experience with Outback was TERRIBLE. We waited maybe 20 minutes for a table after they promised us a 10 minute wait. They kept trying to sell us cold alcoholic drinks while we were seated in a cold, drafty waiting area. Eventually we gave up and left before ever getting a table. So we called ahead before our...

    Thanks again, but I avoid most Pamela's products because my Enterolab tests and SYMPTOMS indicated intolerance to casein (from DAIRY). Most Pamela's products contain dairy, even though the brownie/cake mix doesn't. Not sure if I want to risk contamination from their factory ... Eggs and nuts (including peanuts) aren't a problem though, thank goodness. ...

    Peaches: My naturopathic guidebook said start with 500 mg of Vitamin C and 400 mg of Magnesium. If that's not enough increase by 100 mg increments of each until you get really loose stools. Then cut back if necessary. However, after staying gluten-free and dairy free for almost a year, I have 'normal' stools for the first time in my life. Mg and Vitamin...

    THANKS, Nina, for the Enjoy Life chocolate chip info. I LOVE the Enjoy Life double chocolate chip cookies, but can only buy those online. I didn't know they offered chocolate chips. That might be worth buying online. NO, I can't tolerate any soy--same symptoms as gluten (excruciating cramps, gas, bloating, etc.). Before I realized I was soy intolerant...

    Hi Nini: I tried to feed my chocolate cravings with Ener-G chocolate chips. I did NOT like their gritty texture (maybe from sugar crystals), but they're okay when I'm really desperate. I did like them for chocolate chip quinoa cookies (from Karen Robertson's gluten-free gourmet cookbook). Are you suggesting I substitute those in the gluten-free flourless...

    Hi Catfish: I must avoid dairy and soy as well as gluten. So I REALLY miss chocolate ANYTHING. Drinking Almond Breeze chocolate dairy substitute doesn't help, because I want to chew something chocolatey. So I would like to adapt your flourless cake recipe for my dairy/soy restrictions. I assume I can substitute my Spectrum Naturals palm oil shortening...

    Peaches: My celiac symptoms included cramping, bloating and constipation. When fiber from fruits, vegies and grains didn't resolve my constipation, I learned that European doctors often suggest a combination of Vitamin C (starting with 500 mg) and Magnesium (starting with 400 mg). You can add more until you get loose stools and then cut back. I can't...

    I prefer Outback Steakhouse since going gluten-free/DF/SF, because they have a gluten free menu and are very celiac friendly. From what I learned from Outback I would suggest that you tell your server at Black Angus that you can't have any gluten from wheat, barley, rye (and whatever intolerances you have). Then order plain grilled meats, salads with NO...

    That is soooo frustrating. How would they expect you to have the UPC code if you can't buy it from their store???? Fortunately I just happen to have a package of Mission White Corn Tortillas in my refrigerator--although they were not refrigerated at my local QFC. Here's the UPC Code: 0 73731 00313 8 I hope that helps. BURDEE

    Hi Jess: When you received the email with test results from Enterolab, how did Elab interpret those results? They usually print an interpretation and recommendations just below the test results. From the numbers you posted, your daughter's results for everything EXCEPT casein (the milk protein) intolerance. That's not an allergy. It means she produces...

    ARCHIVED Weight Gain

    burdee replied to a topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    After ignoring my body sensations for YEARS, I had to really work to learn what 'full' or 'satisfied' (2 different sensations) felt like. (As a child 'full' was when my plate was clean and not a bite sooner! ) I also learned that higher protein/fat worked better to keep me satisfied, although I did not intentionally choose low carb foods. With all my...

    ARCHIVED Weight Gain

    burdee replied to a topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    Hi Peaches: What has helped me maintain my weight, despite learning to avoid gluten about a year ago, then dairy and then soy, is eating for true physical hunger (not for emotional 'hungers' or to numb feelings) and stopping when I feel satisfied or full. That means beyond gluten/dairy/soy restrictions I eat what my body craves--not what my eyes see or...

    Yes, Rosarita Vegetarian Refried Beans ARE gluten-free. I did contact the company last year to verify gluten-free. I eat them all the time with NO reaction. I haven't used the S&W beans, but again try contacting the company. Most simply canned beans are gluten-free, but it's always good to read the label and/or contact the companies. BURDEE

    ARCHIVED Pelvic Pain

    burdee replied to TeachK71's topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    I'm not sure if my 'pelvic pain' is similar to what all of you have described, but when I get dairy or soy contamination, I experience what feels like severe menstrual cramps. However, I went through menopause 8 years ago and all my gynecological exams are normal. During my last 'contamination' episode I experienced "waves" of that cramping pain. I never...

    Hi Shirley: I'm also 58 but went undiagnosed (or MISDIAGNOSED as 'IBS') until last year (age 57). Since I have the celiac disease gene and had lifelong gastrointestinal difficulties (irregularity, gas, bloating, indigestion, acid reflux), I'm pretty sure my symptoms first appeared around age 6 when my mom asked my doctor for a diet because she thought...

    THANKS, Mariann!! Just one question ... Can I use the "Bob's Red Mill" gluten-free baking mix, rather than the 3 types of gluten-free flours? I hate to buy those individual ones, since I bake soooooo seldom. BURDEE

    I want to make a lemon meringue pie for Easter, but I have NEVER made a gluten free pie crust. I also must avoid dairy and soy. So I can't use butter or vegetable (soybean) oil in the recipe. I do have the "Spectrum Naturals" palm oil shortening which I hope to substitute for butter. Does anyone have a no fail (or pretty easy for amateurs) recipe...

    I like Ener-G foods Brown Rice Sweet Potato English muffins, corn loaf bread and granola bar cookies. I prefer Quinoa (with corn) pastas. My favorite mix is "The Cravings Place" peanut butter cooky mix, because I can substitute any nut butter and add any nuts for variety. Since I have to avoid dairy and soy, as well as gluten, I must seriously sleuthe...

    I dislike messing with organic peanut butters with oil sitting on the top and don't tolerate soy products (soybean oil used in some peanut butters). So I like Adams No Stir Crunchy and Whole Foods "Whole Kids" crunchy peanut butter. Both are staples in my gluten/dairy/soy free diet, because I eat pb & jam on toast almost every morning for breakfast...
