ARCHIVED Does Total Iga Of 39 (Normal 81-463) Discount Anti-Iga?
lizard00 replied to bevy13's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I am in the same situation. My total was 19. As a previous poster mentioned, ask about the IgG versions of the tests, if you are interested in having them retested. My son's doctor didn't think they existed, but they do. So insist on it. -
ARCHIVED Ghiradelli Chocolate Chips
lizard00 replied to kmhbt's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I have used them many times before and haven't had the first problem. And I'm pretty sensitive, for what it's worth. -
ARCHIVED Going The Primal Route....
lizard00 replied to LauraB0927's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I eat pretty much Paleo. Though I will eat beans and potatoes from time to time. There are a few things I don't agree with, but I do know for a fact that I don't handle grains super well. I can eat them from time to time, but I definitely feel better on a higher protein diet. When we do dairy products, it's always raw and pastured. Aside from cheese, we're... -
ARCHIVED Help! Need Some Substitutions For Baking...
lizard00 replied to Triplatte's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Hey and welcome! I bake, too. I do bread with half sorghum and half tapioca. And I sell a ton of it!!! Way better than Udi's or anything else I've tried in the store. Basically you need the starch to lighten it up. I love sorghum over rice flour any day of the week. I will send you a few more things that I do. I would share them with anyone here... -
I'm Paleo-ish too. I just find that my body works better that way. I just finished doing a Whole 30, which I primarily did because I had just been feeling kinda blah. I felt much better when I was done, and plan to follow it most of the time. When I eat dairy it's pastured and raw. And a few sweet treats here and there

I'd steer clear of anything at Chipotle that they use their hands for... ie cheese and lettuce. I've seen (on more than one occasion) where they put too much cheese on a burrito and dumped it back in the bowl. And there's the whole holding a burrito one minute and putting cheese on it with the same gloves... even if they change gloves for you, who knows how...

ARCHIVED Extra Diet Restrictions For Healing?
lizard00 replied to Baddfrog's topic in Super Sensitive People
It took me about a week or 10 days, but then I went out to eat and even though I ordered specifically, and our server was also gluten-free, I ended up feeling pretty nasty for a few days. After that, I finally started feeling good. So maybe 15 days, which I attribute partially to the debaucle at the restaurant. Yesterday I made pizza for dinner and drank... -
ARCHIVED A Baking Failure
lizard00 replied to Marilyn R's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I've never used it. But Carrie who writes Open Original Shared Link uses stevia a lot since she can't do sugar. I'm not sure if she has many recipes out yet, but you could probably look into her blog and see if she has written about it. -
ARCHIVED A Baking Failure
lizard00 replied to Marilyn R's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I noticed that she is using different sweeteners. I can't stand stevia, though I wish I liked it. I generally use honey, too. -
ARCHIVED Extra Diet Restrictions For Healing?
lizard00 replied to Baddfrog's topic in Super Sensitive People
I am 4 1/2 years gluten-free and felt the same way. I kept wondering when I was going to feel fabulous, too. I am one of the super sensitive ones, too. I have also recently found out that I am super sensitive to soy. I knew soy made me sick, but I didn't worry about CC with it. Now I'm going to. I did the Whole 30. If you don't know what it is, you can... -
ARCHIVED A Baking Failure
lizard00 replied to Marilyn R's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Yes, she most definitely is! I noticed that, too. That's why I ordered the Honeyville. IDK, maybe it's just me. I will say that I've only made a few of her recipes, and I generally change them to suit my purposes. I'm not a huge fan of all that agave. -
ARCHIVED Gluten Bread Weird Taste/smell
lizard00 replied to jilliann's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I'm not a fan of Udi's either. It had a weird texture to me. I suppose it's better than the other store bought ones, but I'm not a huge fan. I just make my own... but I really got over the bread thing. Go with the romaine, better for ya! -
ARCHIVED A Baking Failure
lizard00 replied to Marilyn R's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I've made her stuff with almond meal. Turned out fine. I spent the money and bought Honeyville and then tried TJ's. Same results. -
ARCHIVED gluten-free Puff Pastry: Tartelette
lizard00 replied to pricklypear1971's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I used it as the framework for my first attempt at croissants. They didn't turn out as flaky as I wanted them to, but I made notes and will try again. And while they weren't on point for texture (yet!), they tasted awesome! I think it's a good recipe. -
ARCHIVED A Baking Failure
lizard00 replied to Marilyn R's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
BRM is the WORST! Though you may be able to grind it down more...not sure. It's too expensive for me to try. I go to TJ's and get their almond meal at 3.99/lb. -
ARCHIVED What Did You Have For Lunch Today?
lizard00 replied to love2travel's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
ooh, I like this thread even more than the dinner one! Lunch usually baffles me. I had a sauteed chicken breast with spinach. My seasoning was perfect today because it was unreal banana peel! -
The RR by us does. It wasn't advertised, but when I put in my order, my server asked if I wanted one. I figured I haven't had a 'real' hamburger in over 4 years, why not?? It was pretty good. I think it was Udi's, judging by taste/texture alone. I'll probably skip it next time though. I'm so used to eating it wrapped in lettuce, I didn't really feel like...

ARCHIVED I'm Just Making Sure We All Like Red Robin
lizard00 replied to mommyto2kids's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
We have two close by, and have eaten at both. Good experiences at both. My experience has always been that they wanted to accommodate as much as possible. -
Try doing half guar, half gelatin. Guar is not as 'strong' for lack of a better word. It's tough to make a bread with it. Check you water levels, too.

Mommida-- have you tried olive oil instead of the eggs? I do it all the time for my vegan or egg-allergic people. To the OP- my first inclination is too much moisture. Finding the right amount of liquid to put in is a fine balance, and I do mean fine. I have recently cut back by 1/2 t of xanthan in my bread, and there is no appreciable difference as to...

ARCHIVED A Different Take On Pizza.
lizard00 replied to love2travel's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
As much as I love potatoes, I'm inclined to skip this one and instead go for the portabello pizza referenced in that link. They do look really good, though! -
ARCHIVED Questions
lizard00 replied to karebear74's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hi there. Welcome My labwork was all normal. In fact, my blood tests were negative for celiac, but that's another story. I think that my vitamin D level was slightly low when they finally tested it, but that was about a year later and I had already started taking supplements. As far as the diet change, I noticed an immediate difference. I mean... -
ARCHIVED Reaction ... Result Of Baking With Wheat Flour
lizard00 replied to nb-canada's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I made something once with wheat flour for my hubs/son shortly after I went gluten-free and I was sick for a few days. I have not been brave enough to try again, and quite honestly, everything I make is so good no one cares. -
ARCHIVED Upper Abdominal Pain For Over A Week
lizard00 replied to faithforlife's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I had something to similar to that last spring. I was getting to where I really didn't want to eat. They checked my gallbladder for stones and function, did an endo, ran all sorts of tests... I was getting trace amounts of gluten in and as soon as I figured that out, I started to get better. Interestingly, my gallbladder was functioning at less than 70%....
