    Altoids peppermints are gluten-free.

    Do make sure all your vitamins and other meds etc are gluten free. Also any coffees, teas or sodas or other stuff that goes in your mouth should all be gluten free. Soy free is easy if you stick to a whole foods diet and avoid processed foods. Unfortunately many of the gluten-free processed foods have soy in them.

    There have been quite a few threads about pies and crusts lately for some reason. Some people made crusts from Midel gluten-free ginger snap cookies, ground up. I think someone else made a crust from almond meal. Others are making crustless pumpkin pies. Seems like people can get pretty creative with the crusts and still have a good pie. I have not tried...

    Oh, I just knu that Crayon wood have some smartie-pants reply! Eww, a little anyway. Muffin the cat-head sometimes barfs up her food, and always seems to prefer to do that within a few feet of me. At least I know where it is to clean it up. Sophie is running a marathon? I see she has her baton in hand!

    There is a section of the board dedicated to DH (dermatitis herpetiformis). That could be what the rash is. Take a look and see if the symptoms match.

    Chicken breasts, rice or quinoa, and veggies, are all good starting points. Fresh fruit is ok, but you should check ingredients on anything dried. Hamburger as long as it is plain meat and not pre-made patties should be ok, and most pre-made patties are ok too, but do check the ingredients. Frozen veggies are ok but they are safest if they have no...

    Hi, It sounds like it could be a nuerological symptom. Celiac can affect the brain, and causes gluten ataxia in some people. Another possible cause would be low B-12 vitamin levels. That is also related to nerve function. And it is also a thing that happens to some celiacs. Some people take sub-lingual B-12 to help get their B-12 levels up. Anyway...

    Happy Thanksgiving past everyone! Oh yes, days of young livers and onions are here! Happy times to you Jess! Here's something that might work. The filling is often some cream cheese and spices and salmon or whatever else. Open Original Shared Link

    Sounds good Roda! A simple diet works best for me. Happy Thanksgiving or day after anyway:-)
  11. GFinDC
    And a Happy Thanksgiving to you too! This forum has been a great help to me also. Snot a bad place at all.

    Well them kiwi's, lettin' a bunch of furry footed hobbitses run all around the countryside stealing carrots and corn and rings and not wanting a few million grouchy, farty celiacs to move in. Think of all the great fireworks 'ol Gandalf could do with the extra flatulence we could add to the scene! I suppose we could take a vote but for some reason I...

    Or they might have been thinking of the opposite, soaking the flour to get rid of the starch and leaving behind the gluten. If you wash wheat flour long enough in running water it dissolves the starches and leaves behind a nice glob of nearly pure gluten protein. Yum Yum. They use that to make seitan I believe. There are videos on youtube of how to do...

    I get pain in my left side below the rib cage. That's the sharpest area, plus an all over generalized pain to round things out. I seldom have pain on the right side.

    Hey Crayon, That might not be a bad idea. We could all wear the same color shirts or something and do a flashmob type thing some day. Maybe for next celiac awareness month. I don't think the bubble suits would be nessecary for that though. Sounds like fun eh?
  16. GFinDC
    Happy Thanksgiving to you too! :-) Four of you in one family? Sounds like our army is growing. Glutenfreeland to the top!

    I have nothing useful to add but that won't stop me! This might help: Bubble suit

    You could also be having a reaction to soy. Soy is in many processed gluten-free foods, and probably in the Jif peanut butter. There are natural and organic style peanut butters that don't have soy. Another possibility is nightshades, (potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, eggplant). Potato flour and starch is also commonly used in processed gluten-free foods...

    There are tons of threads on this site about elimination diets. But basically you choose a small group of foods, no more than 5, that you believe will work for you. That starting group includes salt and pepper if you want to use those spices, they would be counted as a food. You also need to stop all vitamins and medicines (that are not critical), all...

    It's a big change losing a father or mother. They guide us in so many things and in some ways we don't even understand until later. I am sorry for your loss but I agree she is in a better place and probably happy as a clam. That doesn't make the missing of her in your day to day life less important, or less noticeable, but she would probably want you...

    Ahh, Shrommie, can we take over New Zealand? All those beautiful mountains and beaches to explore! Or I suppose we could settle for Maui, if New Zealand is taken, darn it. Don't feel bad PBScooby. I bought some tuna in water tins because it was on sale a bit ago and didn't notice until after I ate a can that it had soy in it. Then I felt it. Dratted...

    Or a tropical island with lots of palm trees and sandy beaches. Glutenfreeland is born! I think Treet is similar to Spam right? Spam is gluten free.

    Well, it's that time of year again, it gets cold outside and people start sitting around fires inside and roasting marshmallows. Meanwhile my employer is offering to match charitable contributions. So, thinking about that, what is a good group to do a contribution to? I have a few pennies saved up from spare change and they really weigh down my pockets...

    Well, I have no idea what she is eating every day, so will just throw out the standard advice around here. It is safest to stick with a whole foods diet and avoid all processed foods. That means no boxes or canned foods or whatever that have multiple ingredients. Usually sticking with items that have 3 or less ingredients is ok. Often those are the food...
