    Bumping.... Hi again - surprised that I didn't hear from anyone else dealing with EoE and Celiac Disease. I got my Basic Food Allergy panel results back on Friday and it was kind of a shocking punch in the gut (no pun intended). The RAST testing shows that I'm having IgE responses to: Corn - Class 2 Eggs, Soy, and Peanut - Class 3 And now...

    Good morning all! It's been a long time since I've posted here. I was diagnosed as Celiac at the end of 2007 and have since taken control of my disease and eating in a way that makes me very proud. I host holidays like Thanksgiving, Christmas & Easter that are 100% gluten free and neither me or my family ever feels deprived. But following up a...

    I had a feeling these were a bigger problem for people than I thought! I've had larabars but they are low on protein... I'm looking for something with whey and up to 20g per bar if possible.

    Raven- I'm 33 years old and I was diagnosed 3 years ago... and I didn't truly find my cooking "mojo" until I was gluten free. I love watching Food Network TV and I pride myself on the fact that I've been able to make almost any recipe I see in a gluten free version. UNTIL you see those Phyllo dough recipes.... my partner is Greek, so he grew up with...

    I've been eating Think Thin protein bars for awhile and I really enjoy the taste and the quick dose of protein you can get from one of them. I've always trusted them to be gluten free and healthy, and they are extremely filling. I work a 9-5 office job, and I would always have one at around 4 as a pick me up at the end of the day. But, in the past couple...

    I agree with you 100%, it is always a very personal decision - and honestly, there are enough personal care products out there that don't have gluten in them, so it is easy to avoid. But if you are really stuck on one particular shampoo, then only you can decide.
  7. njbeachbum
    Let's be realistic here - think about the percentage of the shampoo that is made up of wheat... maybe 1 or 2% of the final product, but probably much less? Then let's think about how much shampoo you actually use for your hair in the shower. Then let's think about how much could POSSIBLY get into your mouth. You are probably looking at more risk from eating...

    If you're not eating it, then I really wouldn't worry about cross contamination.

    i definitely wouldn't say that Udi's is settling.... it's excellent sandwich bread! but for cinnamon raisin, try French Meadows... they have a great gluten-free version

    ARCHIVED Whey Protein

    njbeachbum replied to njbeachbum's topic in Sports and Fitness

    Awesome, thanks! Casein protein is the best at night because it's slower absorbing right? A good option is always a cup of greek yogurt before bed for a dose of about 15g of protein.

    just an idea for a quick crust.... my partner made a quiche one day and for the crust he used corn chex - just pulverized them in the food processor with melted butter until it formed a sticky, crumbly mixture. He pressed it into the pie plate, filled it and baked and it was fantastic. The eggy quiche mixture seemed to seep into the crust and help...

    Hi Lisa - I know this thread is a couple of months old, but I saw that you stopped eating the Think Thin bars because they were making you sick. I've been eating these for over a year now and just recently started to notice that I was getting very gassy and bloated in the late afternoon/evening (I eat one everyday at 4pm when I'm at work, like clockwork...

    Hi Patti! Thanks for the info - I have lived in Lakewood near Ocean County Park for about 7 years or so. Your list is great... I did not know about Mileto in PPB, so I'll have to check that one out. I've eaten at Outback in Brick many times and I've usually felt fine afterwards. I usually just get the filet with a sweet potato and a plain salad with...

    ARCHIVED Whey Protein

    njbeachbum replied to njbeachbum's topic in Sports and Fitness

    Hey thanks Wheatfreedude! I appreciate the response. I picked up some of the 100% Whey at Vitamin Shoppe this weekend and tried it out this morning. I might try out the 100% Casein for overnight workout recovery too. The 100% Whey really mixes much smoother than the other stuff I used and the Vanilla Ice Cream flavor is quite tasty! I use the Insanity...

    Breakfast is the one meal that worries me - most breakfast places are quick turnaround and they've got all kinds of stuff flying onto and off of the same grill. I like the idea of asking for a clean pan off of the main grill... shockingly, I never thought of that. What I do for breakfast that is almost always a safe bet - as for a couple of hard boiled...

    ARCHIVED Whey Protein

    OK - I got this response from Optimum Nutrition about their protein products. Has anyone tried these? Dear Joe, Thank you for your interest in Optimum Nutrition products. The following products are those to avoid; those which absolutely contain gluten: 100% Whey Gold Standard-Cookies n' Cream (cookie pieces) 100% Casein Gold Standard -Cookies...

    I just starting to find and use Udi's bread and it's the best bread out there. It is unique from all other gluten free breads that I've tried in that you can defrost it by leaving it out on the counter for 10-15 minutes and it is still edible! Most others need to be nuked and toasted slightly to make it taste right. Enjoy!

    ARCHIVED Whey Protein

    njbeachbum posted a topic in Sports and Fitness

    OK, it's been a while since I posted here - hi guys! I've been using Biochem Sports whey protein for a very long time and I just started to make a possible connection between the Stevia that they use as a sweetener and my frequent headaches. I'm looking for a whey protein powder that is confirmed gluten free by the manufacturer and does not use...

    Thumann's hot dogs are my absolute favorite and they are certified gluten free by the GFCO (check for the logo). It is rare that I eat something like a hot dog, but now that summer is upon us and there are bbq's popping up all over the place... well, sometimes it's ok to treat yourself

    i really enjoy the BC yellow cake mix... based on some reviews online, i've added one package of jell-o pudding mix and one cup of either sour cream, buttermilk or yogurt... in addition to the cake mix direction's ingredients. it makes a much more moist and delish cake. i've also tried the quick carrot cake recipe on the BC website. i LOVE that recipe...

    i've made the best cheesecakes using Mi-Del or Pamela's cookie crumbs as a great cookie crust. zip 'em in the food processer and stir in some melted butter until you can press it into your springform. Really any gluten-free cookies work as long as they are dry and crunchy. My favorite is chocolate cookies in the crust or Mi-Del's pecan shortbread. anyway...

    i have the Kitchen Aid artisan stand mixer.... absolutely awesome for my gluten-free needs. They are regularly about $300, but get one at Kohls when they have a big sale and use your 15/20/30% off coupon. A great deal and a great kitchen tool!!

    oh man i got excited there for a minute. i've been dying to find pre-made gluten free puff pastry and filo (phyllo) dough. one can dream, right?
  25. njbeachbum
    i almost always stick to kraft and newman's own dressings, because they have clear labeling policies. the only dressings that i've seen that have gluten are the asian inspired dressings that use soy sauce. salad dressings are pretty low risk as far as i'm concerned
