    __________________ This is so untrue and such a prime case of medical malpractice, I don't know where to start. I almost thought it was a gag post except you've been here a while. I would not only report him to the state medical board, but let him know you are doing it. Also, report the medical insurance company, because frequently doctors use the...

    ARCHIVED Must-Do

    Takala replied to happygirl's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Uhm, what is that... scary thing that the woman is staring at in the accompanying photo ? It looks like compost on a plate. Review of article. Understand your disease. √ Build a Medical Team. "medical team?!" " nutritionist who specialize celiac disease ?!" uh oh, let's not go into that one as we don't have time for the saga today. Join a...

    ________________________ Well, it's easy. There's just the 2 of us humans, and assorted pets, and we keep the kitchen here at home gluten free. Several of the pets need to be kept gluten free because they share water dishes, and the 2 dogs which have to be wheat free because of their allergies, were getting sick by drinking out of the other's water dishes...

    ________________ Yes, you can leave them out and substitute a different kind of gluten free nut, seed, or grain meal or flour in their place. They were originally added to try to increase the protein percentage when other high- starchy gluten-free flours were being used, such as rice flour. I use a lot of nut meals that I grind myself in a dedicated...

    They must be going for the 2009 "Betcha thought you'd never get glutened from THIS Award."

    I may be one of the last ones on here that still intends to eat on Thursday but hasn't finished cooking yet. (the kitchen is small and my spouse and I take turns making something and staying out of each other's way. he's in there now) I really think I'm hawt stuff with my baking ability, except I can't get a gluten free loaf of anything with yeast...

    It would help if you would say which recipes you have tried besides Pamela's, and mention what sort of gluten-free flours you are using. What it sounds like is you are using tapioca flour as at least part of your mix, because it is very gummy when underbaked. With most gluten-free breads, I don't consider them finished until I have run a clean table knife...

    Wow. A whole year of gluten free crockpot recipes. Who would have thunk it. Bookmarked that one.

    I don't refer to myself as a self diagnosed celiac but as gluten intolerant. It is only here that I discuss about being self diagnosed. To any medical people I deal with, I just say I am gluten intolerant so any medications have to be gluten free and let them deal with the consequences, if they would ask why I think that, I point out that a brain scan...

    Just use water as the liquid. Add a small amount extra of apple cider vinegar if the recipe already has it. You can add nut meals (I use homemade almond meal ground in the blender) to up the protein, and/or amaranth flour. You can also add some coconut milk or olive oil. I have had such inconsistent and exasperating reactions to yogurt, when I know...

    A lot of times a recipe makes 4 servings, which works out for 2 people to eat the original and then a leftover meal. That's what we end up doing a lot. I grew up cooking automatically for 4 to 6. I am programmed to do this. Then tried to switch to 2 for adult life. As we get older, our ways have shifted, and my husband is cooking more and he...

    Ginger and Tumeric are other heat spices. How are you with cocoa powder and cinnamon ? I would do this. Fresh grated horseradish or ginger root. Cumin. Pinch of cinnamon. A little bit of cocoa powder. Apple cider vinegar. Pinch of oregano.

    I am the gluten intolerant one in our relationship. Altho my spouse is very supportive, it is still up to ME to be responsible for whatever goes in my mouth, on my skin, or what the pets eat and then drool, not him. Until your fiance comprehends this idea (or has suffered enough to get motivated to do it right ) no amount of work on your part will...

    I also look forward to reading it.

    Hang in there. It really can get better, slowly and surely. I have ongoing spinal issues (stenosis big time in my cervical spine, blown discs) and have regained the feeling in my legs and feet and can now do stairs. It is a good idea, however, if I use the handrail while going down. The lower back severe pain has mostly resolved to medium/mild...

    You just keep going on being a great mom and taking care of your kid. When events are at your house, then you can make sure everything is gluten free. If you warned them off with the "don't bother because it's complicated," and packed your own food and didn't go out of your way to make them embarrassed , then it's their problem dealing with it. ...

    I just want to reiterate that unless you have some restaurant or gluten free cooking experience to avoid certain cross contaminations (for example, you can't use your cooking pans/sheets, you would have to get new ones.... ) it would be better to just pick up a package of something gluten free and pre baked, such as cookies. I do bake gluten free things...

    Nobody cares as long as you can hold a good conversation or be a good listener. Really. DC is a carnivore's town anyway because of all the egos and testosterone running around. Steak, potato, "MANLY" food, should be readily available, you're making too much out of this. Wait until you have to hang around with people over 50, oh my gosh, they're...

    Gluten intolerance is, to some researchers, just a case of celiac that has not gone full blown yet and instead the body went after the thyroid and other body parts first, like the brain, bones, kidneys, liver, ovaries (cysts, PCOS) etc. Because of your other problems, the doc probably pinned you as very likely gluten intolerant, inspite of the lackluster...

    My idea of a healthy meal is a steak, potato, and a salad, but that is because my body does not process grain carbohydrates like the majority of people do. I am a lapsed vegetarian who is much healthier as an omnivore. To do this diet as vegetarian, in a healthy manner, takes a lot of planning. One would have to eat a lot of legumes, beans, nuts for...

    This is why I make my own. If you use some amaranth and almond meal in the mix, it keeps for a week easily in the refrigerator. I make small skilllet breads all the time in cast iron, started on the stove and finished in the broiler, 1 egg, a heaping cup of gluten-free flour mix and the other stuff and I get 4 servings. Threads I have described doing...

    I swear, domestic airlines are the most inhospitable place on earth.... first they hassle you about what sorts of foods you can and cannot carry on, and then they cancel your flight, making you wait for hours in a closed venue with almost nothing in safe foods, then when you finally make it on the plane, there's nothing but tiny little packs of peanuts...

    It's pretty obvious that a "pill" would be used in place of a gluten free diet. Study how pharmaceutical products are marketed. They (advertising writers) have experts in human behavior working to create a need whether or not it exists, and creating feelings of deprivation, hardship, and social stigmatism unless the "new and improved" thing becomes a necessity...

    I'm looking at the Kennesaw State University website. Student Contract Terms and Conditions, ASaP Culinary Services Oh, this is just precious. I almost thought this was a prank. Open Original Shared Link Can you say "scam artists?" Install mandatory plan. A student requests an exemption. They deny the exemption. This triggers a late...

"Anything but ambivalent....many mistakes were made and some...
