ARCHIVED What's With Coffee
imhungry replied to imhungry's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I think I am having trouble with Hills Brothers, and Folgers Classic Roast is fine for me too! I just have to wonder if they are using a lower grade coffee bean and then spraying on the flavoring... I have to look up that source regarding it having gluten. Also, as far as the teas, I know that not all Celestial Seasonings brands are gluten free, and... -
ARCHIVED What's With Coffee
imhungry replied to imhungry's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I get a rumbly stomach at about 10:30 the earliest or so and I will not have eaten anything else. I like to drink tea but am having trouble with having a gluten free source in my town. As far as the spray and the coffee flavoring, I'll have to look that up in my huge binder again. I ran across that a while ago and honed in on that because I love coffee... -
ARCHIVED What's With Coffee
imhungry posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I am having trouble with the regular, non-flavored coffees. Anyone else? I do know that they spray on the flavoring with gluten for the flavored coffees.... -

THANK YOU! This is awesome. I think we all get in a cooking rut and this helps a lot. -
ARCHIVED Gluten Free And Still Having Symptoms
imhungry replied to KCampbell's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I've been at this Gluten free, wheat free and Dairy free diet for about 10 months now, and I STILL have things creep in as I expand my diet. Gluten is hidden in EVERYTHING, and many things Inever expected it to be. Start writing down what you are eating, look for patterns, check the websites of the companies the food is from and look at their FAQ's or e-mail... -
ARCHIVED Being Sick Is My Full Time Job!
imhungry replied to feelingbetter's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
My GERD, for which I was even evaluated for surgery for, went away once I stopped dairy products... something to think about... -
ARCHIVED Quinoa Or Potato Vodka & A Nice Gesture
imhungry replied to Octoberme's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I recall reading to never buy anything from those bulk sections where the stuff pours out as one day it is anuts and the next day it is filled with flour... In addition the scopps are contaminated, and the bags perhaps. I just don't touch it at all. -
ARCHIVED Being Sick Is My Full Time Job!
imhungry replied to feelingbetter's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
It DOES suck, it IS a full time job, it does stink when you go to a potluck or a luncheon places and you can't eat a thing or very little if you brought it and are the first to dish your serving out andpeople ask you why you are not eating more and you have to explain over and over and over again. I know how it is. Sounds like you are int he beginning... -
ARCHIVED Tell Me Why Again Please.
imhungry replied to thumper's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
"I have sooo much more variety in my diet now, than I ever had before going gluten-free. In fact, I had never even tried most of the things I enjoy now" I and my family have enjoyed the new foods. In addition, we were able to figure out that our daughter is also dairy intolerant like me as I became more sensitive to dietary issues. She is stonach-ache... -
Here's my list: salty items including air popped popcorn and green olives (used to hate them!), Eggs - if from a farm can't stand the store bought ones anymore since gluten-free, Peanut butter whipped with chocolate from Peanut Butter and Company that I can have since it is dairy free, and rice, and quesadillas - when I can get the right kind of soy cheese...

Anyone have a gluten free jerky recipe or a mix that is gluten free?

ARCHIVED What's The Deal With Ham?
imhungry replied to imhungry's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I definately react to things made ont he same equipment, but am not entirely sure about things made in the same factory - I plan to do that experiment again in the future when feeling well. So it concerns me. -
This is great to hear. I get exhausted thinking about what I have to go through when I do travel and it does keep me home. There is hope. Thank you for posting, and safe travels!

ARCHIVED If Gluten Free Works Why Be Diagnosed?
imhungry replied to ruthykins's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I am self-diagnosed and I am an RN... went in as I should, and they had no idea what the problem was and gave me some pills to help with the instestinal cramping. I went through the detection diet from foodintol.com - best $90 I spent in my life. I will not be glutening myself to get tested. I agree with the earlier comment - right doctor, right place... -
ARCHIVED What's The Deal With Ham?
imhungry replied to imhungry's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Okay - it's the glaze. I didn't really care for it sweet anyways. The saltier the better! Alright then. I am set - thanks much! -
What is the problem with ham not being gluten free? I don't think I've heard specifically what the concern is. I have a butcher willing to work with me, and if I can tell him what the scoop is, I can possibly have an Easter ham!

ARCHIVED Glutened By Bob's Mill?
imhungry replied to elmuyloco5's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Well, Bob's was making me suspicious because they make so many things that are and are not gluten free. So I was setting myself up for an experiment to see if I was going to react. Glad to know I am not the only one questioning it. -
ARCHIVED Frustrated. Sweet Tea?
imhungry replied to GeoffCJ's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
From what I understand, they can use some form of flour so the tea does not stick together, in addition the flavoring is put on coffee with gluten of some kind, so I would not be surprised if that is what happens with tea. I have reacted to tea a number of times already. -

ARCHIVED Gluten Digest
imhungry replied to edye911's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I was given some pills by my gastroenterologist that IMHO mask the symptoms. Sure I feel better when I take them, (kept them and take them in the case I get glutened and don't know it) but the damage is still being done to the intestines. You have to give the gluten up for your health. -
ARCHIVED Gluten Free Beer
imhungry replied to greendog's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I did not like New Grist AT ALL! But I do like darker beers of which Red Bridge fits the bill. But I think I'll try this Green's beer. -

Wow! This is a great thread to read. Meline - nicely said and so truw. Fiddle Faddle said: "my reflux dramatically decreased; I was able to lower my thyroid meds by 50%; bloating, cramping, and diarrhea disappeared; my energy level came back to normal; my eyes were no longer dry; joint pain disappeared. and no thanks to the doctors" Me too!

ARCHIVED <b> Did Anyone Lose A Lot Of Weight Going Gluten Free? </b>
imhungry replied to kelsey's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Since July 07 I've lost a whole 9 pounds. BUT I look better because I was swollen up all over from the reaction to the food I was eating. I think it is going to take time and be different for us all. -
That's a good idea regarding the vitamin deficiencies. I struggle with that too. It could be potassium low causing the cramping....

ARCHIVED Do Other People Do This To You?
imhungry replied to Chloe77's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I've learned to invest my energy into those need to know, i.e. my mom because she cooks for me, family and some friends. That's it. It is a pain in the butt to try to get people to understand and we waste energy trying to get them to understand when they never will. Another note, my daughter is dairy intolerant. This week is National Lutheran Schools...
