About Me

Just learning the ropes.

Transitioning to gluten-free. It's the hidden gluten that really gets me! How many names does this stuff go by?!

I love to cook, travel and watch movies. I love being outside. I always need to be doing something and get annoyed with my lack of energy at times - but I've been feeling so much better since I started eating right for me!

My favorite foods right now: celery root, carrots, parsnips, honey, thyme, feta cheese (preferably all together, oven roasted)

    I've generally had good luck with airlines except for the salad dressing. I started being wheat free only and ordered the gluten free meals to be sure that I wouldn't get noodles or bread. One time I got a packet of salad dressing with Starch listed as the fourth ingredient. At least it was separate and I could just put it aside but the dietitians at the...

    Hi again, I went to the doctor this morning and there was a sign on the door saying the office was closed cause they are on holiday. I went to a doctor down the street that was named as their substitute. I told him how I was feeling and I showed him my hands nd he said "oh that's nothing. That doesn't point to anything" But he did take my blood. SO I'll...

    I am cooking red beets for dinner tonight, so I will be pretty colorful! Thanks everyone for answering. I had a really tough day. A little background about why I asked about this today: I've been slowly trying to figure out what was wrong with me, and at first I thought I was only allergic to wheat. For me this wasn't so bad, because I never liked...

    This is scary! I was at the doctor a bunch of times and no one has noticed this. My blood work always came back as normal. Would it be something that they would only notice if I asked for a specific test?

    I've got a strange question: The bottom of my feet, my palms and my armpits all have a distinctive yellow tinge to them. Has anyone else noticed something similar? Any guesses what it could be? My feet have been like this for a few years, my hands for a few months and this is the first time that I'm noticing the skin around my armpits.

    ugh! i am just chomping on some trail mix that I bought out of the vending machine at work. I don't even want to think how old they are!

    I've heard that we eat dessert after dinner because the sweetness signals the brain to stop eating. Of course I think that was true before refined sugar/flour and saturated fats - which your body becomes addicted too and therefore don't work to stop you from eating. So here are a few desserts that have been around for a long time, that you can eat, and enjoy...

    I have one more that works like a charm, you all are going to say "gross!" but here goes: Sauerkraut Juice mmmmm! Actually it works great and it is not that bad. It has a tangy, salty taste.

    I do this a lot too, especially since I have to order food in other languages often. If I try and pronounce something like Z

    But then again, you are assuming that the french fries are made from scratch. A lot of french fries (should be:potatoes, oil, salt) are made out of a flour/potato mixture that is formed like french fries. Companies do this to make the results more uniform and to help their coloring to make them look like "they should look" (Be suspicious if all the french...

    Great thread! It's so funny how easy it is to think poison is medicine just because it gets results I craved spaghetti and always thought it was the tomato sauce that helped. I'm just getting started with a gluten free diet. it's amazing how many of these seemingly unrelated reactions that I've been living with only happen when...

    I read that they use it to help it pour more freely. There's a type of soy sauce called tamari which should not have any wheat, although I've seen some that have barley. The one that got me was Haribo gummibears and other candies. I wrote to the company and they said that all their products contain glucose syrup made from wheat and corn.

    Hi everyone, At work we have a pretty fancy automatic coffee machine that dispenses different types of coffee, milk (reconstituted from a powder), hot chocolate, and hot water. I got my hands on the packages of the milk and hot chocolate powder and sure enough "may contain traces of gluten". So I thought I was really smart only drinking black coffee...
