    A little pee is no big deal.... but the poor dog turned out to be lactose intolerant!

    Erm... yes, it was embaraassing. Still kind of is. Oh, the shame! And now I teach Spanish, of course. But that was many many years ago on a distant planet far far away. I do have a Paul Prudhomme pie story to add to the mix. I got his cookbook called "light cooking with paul Prudhomme" which I knew was a mistake right off the bat because...

    I have one that is from a foreign eating experience (my own) and one from a good friend of mine. The first time I went to Spain many years ago, I was eating at a sidewalk restaurant in Madrid with my classmates. My Spanish was not very good at this point. I was thinking about what was on the menu that I could eat and my eye fell upon "pollo frito" (...

    I cook! There is something about it that just puts me in a happy place. Even when what I make is a total flop destined for the squirrels or the trash. And I listen to music and dance around while I do it. You just have to be careful not to accidentally splash yourself with hot sauces or step on the errant pepper or peanut. I make my boyfriend clean up...

    -Bread (frozen) --Kinnikinnick tapioca cheese bread -Bread (mix) --Chebe so far is the best substitute for me -Cake Mix --none yet (but many bummers), works best to make you own and add a flour substitute (see Hagman) -Cookies (prepared or mix)-- Pamela's peanut butter chocolate chip (but you can taste the xanthan gum)-- Shauna Ahern's lemon cookies...

    I have found two rather unexpected things help me. I discovered them because my outbreaks were misdiagnosed as shingles (three times!) so I treated them like shingles. The first thing was "abreva" in the little OTC tubes. It is a product for cold sores. It is a little expensive, but for some reason it worked for me. It appears to make the blister shrink...

    Don't forget the Selva Grill in Sarasota. It is near Zoria's and is one of the best restaurants in the US. They serve Latin American food and there are many things on the menu you can eat. The chef took the time to come and talk to us in person. Good luck! Lisa

    Mine was not mirrored. However, it might appear on one side during one outbreak and then occur on the other side during the second. And the blisters were usually on my fingers or toes, but I have had them on my trunk and legs too. Mine usually came out just one or two at a time. It would not be unusual for me to see a single large blister on one side...

    Since you seem to be an adventurous person (chocolate covered grasshoppers are, in fact, gluten-free!) you can look at is as an opportunity to explore the world! Look at Japanese, Indonesian, Vietnamese and Thai cooking (get some cookbooks or recipes off the web). Almost everything in those traditions is gluten-free. Also try some Spanish dishes like...

    Hi Jason. I get this kind of reaction from wine because of the sulfites-- swollen joints, racing heart, plus a giant raised hot red rash from head to toe. Gorgeous! And sad. I lived in Spain for years and grew to love certain types of wine. Now I do not (read cannot) drink at all. It sounds like you have another allergy to add to the set. Maybe a...

    Thank goodness I finally understand what was making me sick for so many years! So here

    I asked them which of their prosucts are gluten-free and, in particular, asked about their white miso soup mix which looks okay, but which is not labelled gluten-free. Here is what I got back: Dear Ms. Lisa Thank you kindly for your E-mail and inquiry. I am not sure which product you are referring to, but if you are referring our 'Mitoku Mellow White...

    Oh-- and I forogt to say, I had the tingling and numbness in the exact same place-- pinky and the outer part of the ring finger. they got all excited because those are fed by a very specific nerve and they thought I had carple tunnel-- but it was not that at all. It was celiac. Depression and confusion too... give the diet at least two months. What...

    HI! You whould definitely get a copy of the Paul Green book "Celiac Disease, The Hidden Epidemic." He has a large section on the correlation between celiac disease and the heart (a section on "cardiomyopathy." You will be surprised. He goes through all of the related symptoms and conditions and explains it all very clearly. I have had many of the...

    Hi! If I were in Seattle, I would go to the Impromptu Bistro where chef Daniel Ahern cooks. His wife is Shauna Ahern of "Gluten-free Girl" fame. Her made his whole bistro gluten free. You can find a link with the menu on Open Original Shared Link under "where to find the Chef."

    Hi! The Selva Grill in Sarasota is a fantastic restaurant (it ranks in the top 100 restaurants in the US.) It serves Latin American food, which includes many dishes that you can safely eat. Ceviche and dishes that have manioc.... Enjoy! Lisa

    Hi Ken! How exciting that you are doing this! Thank you very much. I would add-- watch out for syrups and sweet sauces, as well as unexpected ingredients (usually malts) in ice creams. And watch the beverages (hot and cold) too for hidden additives (artificial creamers, for example-- and then there is root beer and some lemonaid!) and salad dressings...

    Hi everybody! I had this under symptoms, but I think "related disorders" is better. Sorry. I have almost finished reading Dr. Green's book, "Celiac Disease: The Hidden Epidemic"-- I highly recommend it. It answers a lot of questions I had and explains about autoimmune diseases and how, if you have one (like celiac disease), you are likely to have others...

It answers a lot of questions I had and explains about autoimmune diseases and how, if you have one (like celiac disease), you are likely to have others. Which made me think.... at one point I was diagnosed with GPC-- giant...

    well... it was a women's college, after all. Maybe there was some kind fo shift from men cooking to women cooking after the middle ages. I bet there is a good paper topic in that! You know, it never ceases to amaze me how a food from your childhood can produce such strong emotions and waves of nostalgia. It sounds like the Greek food does that for you...
  22. Lisa16
    Maybe if you are really brave you can use it on the DH! (just kidding.... I bet it would really hurt like heck. I get it too. ) Greek food is another wonderful thing. One of my friends in college was Greek and she actually told me that Greek cooking is very labor intensive as it was designed to keep women at home cooking! I do not know if...

    OH! And I forgot "A Chef in Love" set in Georgia (the country) during the revolution and "Babette's Feast." How could I? Well... off to cook some bitter gourd....

    Yes, those peaches are a dream! I also could get really good ones ('hot Thomas peaches") when I lived in GA. We need a better fruit distribution system! That's all there is to it. I also remember the Ag part of UC Davis where they did all the horticulture and experiments. You wouldn't think it would stop a fifth-grader in her tracks,but it did. What...

    How lucky to live in CA where you can get fantastic produce! We spent a year in Davis (my dad was doing a post-doc at the U) and I remembr the peaches seemed as big as my head and there were these giant strawberries-- almost a meal in themselves. And in the summer Davis smelled like stewed tomatoes! If you ever make it back up here, we have a couple...
