    one of the leaders at my local sprue association recommended that I try the probiotic PB 8. It is gluten free and needs no refrigeration. I found it at vitamin cottage. I have responded well to the gluten free diet but still have problems with gas etc. and she told me that this helped her and kept her husband from not wanting to get his own bed! I've...

    Hi Kitt Your test shows negative but I think your week without gluten probably messed with the results. I read in dangerous grains (cant remember author) that even three days gluten free can mess with the results. I did the same thing, was gluten light for over a month (because I felt better when I didn't eat bread products) then before I was tested...

    Shay, How did it go in the crock pot? It would certainly be easier!

    chrissy, Have you tried the new imagine pizza crusts at outside the breadbox in old colorado city? I am addicted to them they are so good!

    I don't want to jinx myself since I've only given them up since Saturday, but my left foot that has been in pain for two months is starting to let up. I accidentaly glutened myself at a Rockies game sunday night with a salad dressing I thought sounded safe so still feel hung over digestive wise so hopefully I will tell a difference there as well soon.

    Cumin adds a mild amount of heat to foods. This will help with Indian curries, just sub ginger for Cayenne Shay, I make a Drunken Chicken recipe with rum, pineapple juice (cooked doesn't bother me) etc but what gives it a nice kick is the bottled chopped ginger! If anyone is interested, I will post the recipe. I also put Cumin in my white chicken...

    Yes, I agree, I put love garlic and onions! I didn't have time to go to the store so I made Collette's recipe minus the artichokes and added chopped basil leaves, made a very yummy pizza base. I will try with the artichokes next sunday. Purple, nice to see a recipe that can use almonds also, Pine nuts are so expensive!

    awesome recipes ladies! Collette, can I go light on the lemon juice or will it screw up the recipe. I have a problem with citrus fruits but can handle like a tablespoon of lemon in a recipe.

    Purple, Great links. Did you try the no tomato sauce recipe? If so what did you think? I like just garlic and olive oil sometimes on my pizza as a sauce but no I will eventually get tired of it and want something that tastes like tomato sauce. I will look into the nomato sauce shay is talking about as well. Thanks ladies
  13. ksymonds84
    Thanks Shay, Do you have problems with Paprika? I know it belongs to the pepper family. Also, what about ketchup and barbeque sauce? I plan on being strict to see if going nightshade works but hate to think about life without ketchup and barbeque ribs! I will look into the b12 you suggested.
  14. ksymonds84
    For the last few weeks I've been having GI problems again and achiness in my left foot, knee and sometimes hip. I know I've been careful with gluten. I asked my local celiac sprue association leader and she suggested that I eat alot of nightshades (especially recently with the fresh roasted green chile's, we've put them in almost everything) and to eliminate...

    Congratulations MarsupialMama on figuring out the gluten intolerance. I wouldn't worry about getting an official diagnoses when your dietary response is so amazing and your little girl is now thriving. As I said in a previous post, a lot of times children are false negative anyway because they haven't produced enough of the antibodies to show positive....

    I know you intended this reply to Missy but wanted to add that you sound like me. I had a negative blood test but the gp didn't do the full panel and I was already gluten light when he did the test. He offered to send me off for biopsy but I just couldn't put myself through it to add back in gluten (I was 3 months gluten free when he offered to do this...

    Pasta would be pretty much all gluten, but understand that with celiac it doesn't matter. ANY amount of gluten will cause a reaction if you are celiac. Sometimes you may not have outward symptoms but if you are celiac your intestines are getting damaged all the same. Hope that helps. I would definately have her tested for celiac but keep in mind that...

    Hi Amber, My dh sister lives on Maui so we go there alot. My favorite restaurant by far is Mamma's fish house. It is on the expensive side but the food is awesome and they are so wonderful at acommodating gluten free! My sister in law actually rents out her big home (that's how she plans to own it just for herself someday and she lives in the small...

    If you decide to buy fresh chiles here's what to do. Put them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Broil under the broiler until the skin is nice and black blistered, then turn and do other side. After you have blistered them, put in a plastic bag and seal shut. Keep them in the bag for at least 1 1/2 hours. Next put them in ice cold water and the skin...

    I bought them last week. They are very tasty but also very crumbly. Didn't have a gluten reaction with them. I have one in my purse for emergencies.

    Hi Chrissy, I too live in Colorado Springs. The Pikes Peak Chapter Celiac Sprue Association is a great way to meet other celiac's. Val is their group leader and very very friendly. They meet every two weeks I think. Tonight is the Gluten free dinner at the Warehouse restaurant on Cimaron. If you give them a call I bet you could get reservations...

    This event will be at the Craftwood Inn in Manitou Springs. Contact the Colorado Celiac Sprue association if you would like to attend.

    Amy, It' sad because I do know other celiacs that can eat them with no problems but as I said, I am very sensitive. I've also found that I cant eat the regular big scoop fritoes, gives me gas everytime. The white corn scoops no problem. Hope you find your answer and feel better soon!

    Just wanted to add to be careful with gluten free products in the beginning. They will be new to your system and may add some bloat as well. In the beginning its always best to do whole foods then gradually add new grains that you haven't had before such as quinoa, buckwheat, sourgum etc. Welcome to the board!

    yep, they say its impossible to keep udi's stocked on the shelf its so popular!
