    I just had an EGD about two weeks ago. Piece of cake I was starving, too... but it really was nothing. I didn't even have a sore throat.

    We did some smoked pepper and onion sausage with potatoes and cabbage. Nothing fancy either, but it's always yummy! It was blazing hot here, too, so I'm kind of surprised that we wanted to cook and actually eat. We washed it down with a nice cold beer, though. I'm sure that helped.

    I work with a local CSA that offers fresh, local organic produce, and sustainable meat. I LOVE it! And the produce is soo much better than anything you can get in the store. Seems like things like this are cropping up everywhere. I'm glad, it's so much better all around when you shop and eat local. AND I don't have to do a bunch of grocery shopping, which...

    You can come at 4:30 if you bring me some of that chicken salad you made!! And some bourbon.

    Yup. Everything I make is gluten-free. I'll have to post it. It's one of Carol Fenster's recipes. Super easy (my husband made it tonight). I don't know how "authentic" it is, but the bhajis are from my Indian cookbooks. I'll have to run it by my Indian friend and see what she thinks! She may just burst my bubble...

    I took SweetTartelette's (blogger) recipe for gluten-free puff pastry and then combined and modified it to work with a traditional croissant recipe. I cut way back on the butter because I have found that a lot of gluten-free recipes need less butter than their gluteny counterparts. But I did find that I needed to up the butter and cut back on the gum. But...

    Then come to NC for drinks! We had ground lamb with Indian spices, onion bhajis and naan bread. YUMS!

    WOW! Your pics look great! Love2travel: I made croissants a couple of weeks ago. They were surprisingly good. Not as light and fluffy as they should have been, but pretty good for a first shot. I went back and modified a bit, so as soon as I get some time, I'm going to try them again.

    I figured out soy about a year after I was gluten-free. I thought that dairy bothered me, so I would use earth balance instead of butter, stuff like that. But I didn't eat a ton of soy. I've never cared for soymilk, so the earth balance and occasional tofu or soy based products now and again. I ate some cookies I made and started to feel sick. Then I was...

    I can't help much with 1 and 3 (though there are lots of gluten-free veggies out there!), but I can offer my two cents worth for question number 2: I tried to do the same. It didn't work. My kids aren't gluten-free either, but there is no gluten eating allowed in the house. I get pretzels for my son's lunch, or some sort of crackers that are in idividual...

    I'm going through something similar right now. I just had EGD done. I'm waiting for the biopsy results, but my doc showed me the pics and I had visible irritation in my stomach. I'm also waiting for a gallbladder function scan, since gallbladder disease is rampant in my family. I'm only 29, so at first my GP wanted to rule out gallbladder disease, but considering...

    That sounds delicious, but OMG! Where do you live?? We're complaining because of the heat here!

    As another suggestion, my cousin lives in RVA and sees Dr. Kevin Harrison. He is an MD/OD. She loves him. I've read about him; he's supposed to be wonderful.

    We're having pizza tonight. One with roasted garlic, caramelized onions with fontina and mozzarella cheese and some fresh basil, the other plain pepperoni for the kiddos. We haven't had pizza in awhile, so I'm kinda excited.

    I've just recently started working with guar and it is definitely different. I didn't notice a difference in taste, mainly texture. I am going to check out the above mentioned article though, as I think I am getting closer to weighing my flours rather than measuring by volume. I would love if it I could bake without gums. Just seems to good to be true...

    I was in retail management and then quit to go operate a franchise that my mom purchased in October of 2006. I was there until my daughter was born (almost 21 mos ago), and then I decided Why not do what I love? Last September I started a gluten-free baking business from my kitchen. Have loved it since I started it!

    The elevated IgG means that there is a reaction going on. Doctors still mainly rely on the IgA though, as it's more specific. But the IgG is a dianostic tool, especially if you are low in IgA. The two IgA tests are low, but your total IgA levels weren't tested, so you could be deficient in IgA which would affect the accuracy of the test results. Not sure...

    I'll have to remember this. Like I need any other reason to imbibe.

    It means that if people are going to proclaim that they're gluten-free, then they need to be gluten-free. In public, anyway.
  20. lizard00
    It does make things difficult. I was in a two week class with someone who also had celiac and was supposed to be gluten-free. But she ate the sausage biscuits someone brought one morning, the pasta that someone brought for lunch one afternoon, etc, because she just couldn't resist. She was also telling ANY and EVERYONE who would listen that she had...

    Slow roasted lamb shank with some fresh garden peas and spinach. I'll be waiting all night for my lamb shank, but it's going to be soooooo good.

    I'm using both gums, separately, though. One is for someone who is corn allergic, down to the xanthan gum level. It's not that it has to be vegan, per se, but it's easier to ask it that way since it is for someone who needs it to be egg free and dairy free. I'll have to check out psyllium husk, too. It's funny that you put that thread in there. I PM...

    Yeah, BRM + WF= expensive I use TJ's ALL the time. $3.99/lb. Can't beat it, AND it still has the skins which I feel just adds even more nutritionally.

    Post your recipe and we can probably help. It's tough to get the right amount of butter, but I use 6 T of butter in my recipe, which I think has 2 C of flour. I'll have to double check it later. Also a little brown sugar helps add a bit of chew. I have screwed up LOTS of choco chip cookies. LOTS!

    As far as I know, you have to order them online. www.ezgluten.com www.glutentox.com They are about the same price at both places.
