    This came up on CNN today. I thought it might m=be interesting to some of us.... Open Original Shared Link They actually want this girl to withdraw from the elementary school because, they say, "she is violating our rights."

    I got an email from Indigo wild today (makers of zum soaps, laundry detergent, personal hygiene products,etc.) about the gluten-free status of their products. They tell me that everything except the oatmeal soap and all of their lotions is gluten free. In addition, they confirmed that their vitamin e comes from a gluten free source. Whole Foods carries...

    Thanks for the cucumber ideas! I like the hummus cups. We both like hummus a lot so i will attempt these today. It is kind of like cucumber sushi! If you make the hummus yourself, what kind of tahini do you use? I have been skippimng it and using sesame oil instead, but its not quite the same texture-wise.

    For me the secret is avoiding processed food as much as possible and buying mostly produce. gluten-free food is expensive! I have two staples which are the yellow cf/gluten-free chebe packets and the nature's path buckwheat waffles. Unfortunately, my sig. other recently discovered Sam's Club and he cannot resist the deals! He is from a country that...

    I had the same set of diagnoses, but in a differet order than the OP. I was mis-disgnosed with IBS-D at 17, had my gallbladder out at 38 and was diagnosed with celiac disease at 40. The gallbladder surgery was awful for me and it took more than a year to recover-- like somebody turned on the D tap. Then it turns out I may not have needed it afterall...

    Thanks! It is tough when you have multiple food sensitivities! I use the "naturals" ham with no nitrates. I will check for detrose, but I generally don't have a reaction to that ham (but I don'teat it often). And the peanut butter is okay for sure. The vinegar is another matter entirely, because of sulfites. Still, I usually can tolerate the mustard...

    Hmm. I know it is not dairy. I ate peanut butter or ham and mustard sandwiches-- no dairy. Intersting about the xanthan gum. I have used it before in baking and it is in lots of cookies and gluten-free preparations. But perhaps it has something to do with quantity or a particular combination of ingredients. I would say the effects were cumulative...

    I recently discovered the wonder of Udi's breads. I bought them (both kinds-- but mostly the white b/c the whole grain one kept selling out and I only got one loaf of that)and I ate it for several days as toast in the morning and a sandwich to take to work. However, I developed progressively worse GERDS symptoms that completely and instantly disappeared...

    You can also try: juice beauty weleda (for example, the baby cleanser that also works as shampoo) is a great face wash Dr. Bronners Ecco bella and then there are "order online brands" (sephora or skinstore or makeup.com) like: juara sundari 100% pure (foaming face washes-- cucumber and lemon) korres shisheido caudalie NARS dermalogica...

    Everything people are saying about this bread is true. But do NOT forget the muffins! Four to a pack in the freezer section at 6.29$. expensive, yeah-- BUT WHO CARES?? I like the blueberry ones the best, but there is also lemon streudel. How are they doing this??? They are going to put knickkinick (I can never spell it right) right out of business...

    Ooh-- I adore Dr. Lucy's cookies. Cinnamon crisp, sugar cookies, chocolate chip-- all good. But pricey at 4.50 a small box. gluten-free/ CF. And Udis muffins and breads are surprisingly good. Real thing good. How do they do it?? Lifestream buckwheat waffles with little berries in them-- don't get as hard as those vans that tear up th roof of...

    Happy New Year to you too! I followed the e-chatter about this episode, and that's where I saw this come up. Art got a LOT of press with Oprah, but it has more to do with the "persona" they gave him on the show. He was portrayed as the sympathetic chef-- a little bumbling, but the guy who produced great traditional Southern food. They didn't want to...

    In fact there was some question about whether or not he used the butter the recipe called for. General consensus at that time was that he did and that he really should have been eliminated. But because of who he is and what the show does, they just ranked him last to avoid embarassment :-) You can make the peanut brittle using walnut oil instead of butter...

    Today Dermalogica sent me a list of the products to be avoided. They also included hops and yeast. They were very nice and the email came immediately (which I always think is a good sign): Please find a list including all the retail products that contain grain derivatives and should be avoided by those with gluten intolerance. Retail Products...

    Enlightening, Thomas. This should be required viewing in Health Ed classes. And I might note that a thoughtful examination of the photos tells us an awful lot about how we all ended up here.

    If you get one of the olive oil spritzer cans, you can do just as well as with a Pam type product withoout the chemicals.

    Thought you might enjoy this one from Ahajokes.com The English Language Have you ever wondered why foreigners have trouble with the English Language? Let's face it English is a stupid language. There is no egg in the eggplant No ham in the hamburger And neither pine nor apple in the pineapple. English muffins were not invented in England French...

    Hi Michelle! You are in a tough position. One of the issues is also that when you breathe something in, you are actually ingesting some of it. But wearing a mask would scare the heck out of people. If I were in your position, I would advertise myself as a gluten free stylist and I would invest in products that are in fact gluten free and use them...

    I forgot Caudalie (only three things inc shampoo have gluten) and Juara (no gluten ingredients). EcoNvey has no gluten ingredients, but cannot call themselves gluten free (Australia is super strict) because "they don't walk the fields." The wrote this in an email. Alba botanicals cannot guarantee gluten free status. You have to decide where you draw the...

    Oh song lyrics are the worst! Take the CSI theme song-- it goes "cooool water? ooh-uh!"

    animal as "aminal." I wonder if it isn't dilsexia-- I mean dyslexia.

    Nadia-- saw your response to the Clarins post. Yep-- that list is pretty much everything. I have posted a lot of responses here because I had something happen to me like what happened to you-- I broke out in DH blisters. There is a lovely picture on my blog (linked on my page here) almong with a list of safe stuff I found. So here is some of what I...

    Congratulations! I am so happy for you. I would celebrate by buying tons of beautiful new shoes. If ever there was a time to do it, well you have a justifiable excuse. Once you find a brand/style/size that works for you, the internet works great. So I will share my secret go-to places for beautiful, comfortable shoes on the internet. ...

    One of my colleagues pronounces "heirloom" as "hair" loom. And once I saw a sign at a farmer's market where they were selling "air lum" tomatoes. Here in Minnesota, because of the German influence, we will ask you (when we go to the store, for example) "Do you want to come with?" Many people around here will pronounce a th as a T. So we hear "Tursday...

    Alls I kan say is is tha George Bernard Shaw would be very proud of all the psillie's. Iffin 'm not mistook, he left his entire fortune to the reformation of the English spelling system. Alls I kan think is that either he didn't have very much money when he died or his lawyer abskonded with it all. Or perhaps he was really a psillie at heart and...
