    No, no, no, don't "give" them the benefit of the doubt and don't let them force you to purchase and subsidize other student's food. You have (from a legal standpoint) a medical disability that they are refusing to accommodate- when they could do so very easily, just by letting you opt out. I do not know what the contract is that you sign to reside...

    Haven't seen this yet but I haven't made the pilgrimage down to Whole Paycheck in a while, I'm out of Hemp Bliss. Living Harvest brand was starting to give me bad headaches, so I wonder if this had anything to do with it, I had stopped using it. More likely one company bought out another. Here's a product description and the new carton picture: Open...

    As a "non officially diagnosed" gluten intolerant person, who has had other auto immune problems for her entire adult life, including many neurological symptoms which mimiced MS, and who SELF DIAGNOSED based on a brain scan, showing lesions, that the doctor told me STILL had nothing to do with my diet, I was infuriated by the grotesque "food trolling...

    You can find Hemp Milk at health food stores and the big chains like Whole Foods. There are two major brands, Living Harvest, and Hemp Bliss. Something in the Living Harvest gives me headaches, I don't know if this is a batch problem or a reaction to the rice syrup but I switched back to Hemp Bliss again. It tastes sort of odd but once you get used...

    Oh, that is ... not good. Let me study it a bit and formulate a response.

    You should post what you eat for breakfast, lunch, dinner so we can trouble shoot it. IF you are that sensitive, you don't want soy milk because a lot of gluten intolerant/celiacs don't do well on it because it depresses thyroid function. Also, avoid Soy Dream and Rice Dream- they are labeled gluten free but many people have reported here that they react...

    ARCHIVED Mcdonalds

    Takala replied to MasterGberry's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    Like we'd want to eat beef patties cooked on a grill where the "angus wheat" seasoning was flying around cross contaminating everything. McDonalds: now entering the category of even more non celiac/gluten-free friendly.

    Yes, I've got it, it's inflammation of the connective tissues of the ribcage and is associated with AS or spondylitis arthritis, a sero negative (non rheumatoid) arthritis. Mine goes along the lower ribcage more. The inflammation moves around from body area to body area. I don't seek treatment for it because it has lessened so much after sticking to the...

    It could be either, it can be frustrating. Be sure to eat lots of "good" fat such as found in nuts, seeds, gluten-free peanut butter and avocados and olive oil, to provide slow burning fuel. Eggs are also high fat and high protein. You may also need to eat some sort of starchy vegetable, such as beans, (well drained and rinsed), potatoes, or corn, to...

    I love rye bread, I have to figure out how to do a decent gluten-free version, at 7 bucks a loaf, I could get motivated.

    Your primary mission is to keep yourself gluten free and happy and healthy. Not eat what somebody else wants. Really, some people get on these "the rest of the world must go vegetarian kicks and eat more grain ! and just won't let go of it. Or they process carbs differently than the rest of us. And I say this as a fan of some of the alternate...

    Try to find a health food store, they will have a lot of specialty items that may be cheaper than Whole Paycheck. The closest WF store near me (about 22 miles and 2 traffic jams) is so bad on layout, having scattered my desired items all over randomly, I prefer the smaller stores anyway except for a few items- the one further away is not as bad, but...

    I've been off of it for over 6 years and am finally getting more sensitive, and I'm not the type that reacts as badly as some of you - well, I react, but it's a lot differently. I feel sort of bad reading about some of these reactions sometimes. Then I think, well, maybe nobody would like my reactions, either.

    If you are eating a gluten free diet, after some time, you will test negative on the blood panel for the antibodies to gluten in the bloodstream and for the immune system response. If you are eating a gluten free diet, you will also eventually heal your gut lining intestinal villi (almost all of the time) and your endoscopy will probably not show any damage...

    I have most of them on gluten free now (all inside pets) except the barn cats. With the dogs, at least two, both from the pound and both are half of a certain large breed mix, are definitely sensitive to it, so that was a no brainer. The one drools a lot and who wants that stuff around. One dog gets dry food and two others get half dry and half a homemade...

    Romantic weekend, eh ? Don't hate on me for saying this, I'm only the messenger, but .... what did he eat before you got sick ? Yeah, I bet a lot of you never thought of that before.

    You did fine. Sometimes in spite of the best attempts, this is what happens. Approach it from the mental vantage point of you want to make friends with this waitperson, because you want them to care whether or not you got glutened. Hence, sometimes I've eaten at places where it's a bit riskier because of no official gluten-free menu, and you'd think...

    Actually, I don't anticipate a long lifespan. When I had day surgery last year, I instructed my spouse to not, under any circumstances, leave me alone in recovery nor let them give me food- if I had to stay, he was to go to the car and get the packed bag of gluten free food. Given the total incompetence and greed of the medical profession, if I lost my...

    Yes, it is possible. I didn't but I have read of so many others... it is a typical reaction. When I was trying to figure out what to avoid, I would get into these funks where I was unknowingly cross contaminating myself. I would do fruit and water and green tea only for several meals and that would clear it up. At first you're hungry, but then your...

    Hi, New and Frustrated, I am Older and Grumpy. I still cannot handle well being outside when it is over 110

    Two things. One, if you are diagnosed celiac or gluten intolerant, or , if you KNOW you are gluten intolerant, you can not eat wheat, rye, barley, or things made of them. period. end of story. Two. Whoever told the original poster not to drink water with meals ought to be taken out to the back forty and left there to rot. What rubbish. DRINK WATER...

    Get yourself a big ice chest cooler and pack it full of yummy things for yourself, and also have a carry bag of non perishable foods you know you can eat. I always pack food and then treat restaurant dining as a supplementary activity- that way, I don't worry about the possibility of getting sick. My spouse might go thru a drive thru and I get a sandwich...

    ___________ Do you have a bead shop anywhere near where you live ? Or have you ever been to a Gem and Mineral Show ? Or something like a crafts vendors display at some activities ? Have you ever seen a Tandy Leather catalogue? Or been to a Michael's craft store? Or a western store that sells a lot of tack supplies for showing, they will have...
