ARCHIVED Adding New Foods To Our Diets
BamBam posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Sometimes I think our bodies are telling us to back off on some of these new foods and regular foods that we are eating. My doctor told me once, years ago, that the same food should only be eaten once or twice a week, otherwise we can get sick or yucky feeling from them. A lot of times when a person eats to much sugar/sweets we feel yucky for awile. I... -
I ate some Van's blueberry waffles Thursday evening and have not felt well since. Actually today is the first day I feel back to normal. Has anyone had problems with these waffles? I felt like I had to go to the bathroom (BM) all the time for about three days after eating them, just bloated and yucky feeling, and my anxieties were full strong over the...

I've been casein free since Valentine's Day and seem to be having a set back, not feeling as good as I should, so thought maybe I was getting something I shouldn't be. We went camping last month and cooked all of our own food. I did eat a bunch of rice flour goodies. If I overdo it, it seems like I get all bloated, gassy and even constipated some. There...

I was just wondering if Mt meant Montana or mountains or what. I live in Montana, so thought if you were from Montana we could talk. Let me know BamBam from Montana

Does the anxiety ever go away? We are doing so much better but every now and then the anxiety hits and it is hard to get past some days. We've been gluten free for almost a whole year now, and dairy/casein free since February. Mr BamBam

ARCHIVED I Think My Wife Was Glutened
BamBam posted a topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
My wife ate a little bag of nuts and raisins, thoroughly enjoyed them, but just didn't feel right for a week or so after. At work her co-worker was eating the same thing and she ran back to the break room to get a bag, anyway, her co-worker tells her about the ingredients "made in the same factory as wheat items" or something like that. Anyway, my wife... -
When I make a baked apple crisp or crumble, I crush up brown rice krisps cereal with my spices and gluten free flour and margerine. I made an apple and butternut squash crisp a couple weeks ago, and my company ate every last bite of it. BamBam

Rice Milk seems to be a little sweet to be cooking with. Besides putting it on my cereal, what else is there that I can do with it. What do you guys use for cooking, like I want to make chicken fried steaks, and I need to dip the meat in an egg/milk wash and then my flour mix. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated! BamBam

I still had some gluten items in my house and the school my husband works at wanted to have a bake sale so two weekends ago I spent te whole day making glutened goodies for this bake sale. I didn't eat or sample anything. I made date bars, granola bars, lemon bars and a raspberry shortbread bar. They all looked fabulously delicious but I didn't taste a...

ARCHIVED I Want To Quit The Diet
BamBam replied to againstthegrain's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I do not have an official "diagnosis" either. I refuse to get one to. I was sick for close to 15 years before I quit eating gluten. I bet between insurance and my co-pays I've spent close to $50,000 on colonoscopys, EGD's, blood tests and whatever else I had to go through. I think I had 4 colonoscopy's! And see, I've never once thought of this as a disease... -
I had a terrible time taking B-vitamins, I had to stop them, I was in horrible pain when taking them. I was taking some extra B because I was told it helps with depression. The first few days I felt just fine, but after about four days, I thought I was gonna die or at least have to go to the ER. I also had gall bladder problems and this was considerably...

ARCHIVED Dairy/casein Intolerance
BamBam posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Sodium caseinate - yes or no. It is in cool whip and creamers. It is a dairy ingredient or not? I really miss my coffee creames! BamBam -
ARCHIVED I'm Starting A Support Group/help Group
BamBam posted a topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
I have a very small local health food store. I put a sign up sheet in there. I basically said "If you lead a gluten free life please sign here and I will call you so we can visit." I got three names in the first week, they are all coming to my house Friday evening to discuss celiac/gluten intolerance, one man and two women. It is going to be a very... -
I purchased some deli meat Sunday and ate a sandwich and it feels like there are pieces of glass going through my whole abdomen and lower back. I just feel awful. I never thought of gluten being in deli meat. I should no better, Huh! I just feel awful.

ARCHIVED Good News- Catering
BamBam posted a topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
This past week I attended a celebration and the catering gal was able to work with me on my meal. She cut off a prime rib steak before she spiced all the rest of it up, and even provided a baked potato instead of the dairy filled buttered red potatoes. I was so happy. Although, my husband ate both his and my cheesecakes, I was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO... -
ARCHIVED Another Question For Dairy Free
BamBam posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Do I have to be careful of the ingredient sodium lactate? It is often found in lunch meats/cold cuts. Mr BamBam -
Regarding the dairy free diet. MMaccartney - some cafeterias and restaurants use a dairy flavored oil, but their is no butter or milk in it. It's a thick oil that looks and tastes just like butter. Our cafeteria makes it available on our popcorn sale days, cause it is just like adding butter to the popcorn, but no butter involved. I do not remember...

We will be eating a lucious prime rib dinner at the end of the month - it is a benefit auction for our Catholic School here in Montana. Anyway, we got the list of what will be served and it says buttered red potatoes and some kind of buttered vegetable mix along with the prime rib. She is staying away from dairy but do you think this will really hurt her...

ARCHIVED Those Of You That Can't Eat Rice
BamBam posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
My problem is every now and then I have a really bad stomach ache. Some of you say you cannot eat rice, and I was wondering if you can tell me how you felt when you ate the rice. I hate to think I can't have rice either. I don't eat any dairy and I also do not eat any soy, except for preservatives like soy lecithen and, of course, no gluten. The pain is... -
My husband and I were drooling over some recipes in my "Taste of Home" cookbook and we really want to make a chicken or turkey pot pie. What recipe would you use for the crust? Bernadette

She works at a clinic and is often times all by herself for most of the day. That is the thing that bothers her the most, is there is no one to cover for her. She works in a clinic, so if she is not at the desk, the patients do not get registered and back to their doctors. For the most part it is a regular bm. Bambam walks with a disability, and so it...

BamBam gets embarrassed when she has to excuse herself to go to the bathroom at work, she thinks she is the only one that poops in the afternoon or evening. I know this is not true, that she is the only one that poops in the afternoon or evening. What do you think?! Mr. BamBam
