This has been an amazing week for discovering the newest, latest & greatest in the world of cooking. With great sadness, I had figured that surely there could not be any more shocking discoveries of how to cook allergy free foods. The cookies, the breads, the lamb, the buffaloaf and finally, the corn free marshmallow blob of goodness. (By the way...I...

...To those who feel like you will never eat another tasty meal again. It IS possible if you can find it inside yourself to explore new possibilities. Collectively our family is allergic to: Gluten, Dairy, Soy, Corn, Some Nuts, Most Grains, Preservatives, dyes, & Refined Sugars. Tonight we enjoyed speghetti and meatballs made with rice pasta...

ARCHIVED So... I Have Celiac Disease Huh?
FoxersArtist replied to The Gigglah's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Pan searing steaks & lamb chops takes about 5 minutes and it's super easy - anyone can do it. And if you are a typical batchelor, you probably like steak! Just turn the burner to medium and flip the steak every 30 seconds to 1 minute until cooked the way you like it. I used to hate cooking meat because it took too long to thaw it, but then I started... -
ARCHIVED gluten-free, Sf, Df, C(orn)f Marshmallow Creme Fudge
FoxersArtist posted a topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
That's Gluten Free, Soy Free, Dairy Free (but only Casein A Dairy Free - not lactose free), & Corn Free! I was having trouble coming up with a marshmallow creme that did not contain corn syrup. I tried to follow a recipe but ended up with sugar water so I decided to create my own. It is TASTY! Agave Marshamllow creme - 4 egg whites (beaten... -
ARCHIVED This May Sound Crazy...
FoxersArtist replied to Beth in NC's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I have considered glutening myself on purpose so that I know what I am up against. I have been gluten free since may and to date, I don't think I have had any encounters - though SOMETHING is continuing to cause me inflammation at times - preservatives and food coloring I believe. That is still a theory to be proven. I want to know what might happen to... -
ARCHIVED Gabe Got Glutened
FoxersArtist posted a topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
I had just gotten finished explaining to my mom how frustrated I have been that no one seems to feed Gabe only the foods I pack for him. They insist on feeding him some of their food too. She agreed that it sounded like a valid frustration but hours later she fed my son some "rice" cereal. When I came back to pick up my baby he was wandering around with... -
ARCHIVED My Cooking Days Are Over?!?
FoxersArtist replied to FoxersArtist's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I sure wish I could give you the recipes but I am terrible about remembering things and writing them down. I have it all in my head and nothing is measured out. I have so many people asking for recipes for things I make and I have to tell them, I just don't know how I made it! LOL. I'm pretty mad at myself for making a really tasty breading a while back... -
ARCHIVED My Cooking Days Are Over?!?
FoxersArtist replied to FoxersArtist's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I made a salad dressing out of olive oil and vinegar with some added spices and I also made a "speghetti sauce" out of veggies, not including tomato. Believe me when I say that the sauce was rather....ummm. Ok, I'll just be blunt. It looked like puke. But it tasted pretty good over noodles and included sweet potatoes, squash, green beans, carrots, lettuce... -
I certainly hope that this is not the case as I have really been getting into the groove of cooking exotic new dishes, especially the kind that are sweet, doughy, and satisfying. And besides all of that, I was just getting to a point where I felt I had mastered the art of defending my kitchen accessories against the evils of the garbanzo mafia. Unfortunately...

The bathroom trips have been increasing in frequency over the past 6 weeks from once every other week to once a week to twice a week to every other day to every day to multiple times a day - which doesn't seem like a bug to me. Either way, I have been trying to push fluids on him. Losing fluid no matter the reason is never good. As far as the colors, he...

No kidding?!? I am gluten free. We both have celiac. Not a crumb of gluten in our cupboards and we have been changing ouyt animals diets too. Andy is a pretty big guy, well over his weight range and has beem losing weight being gluten free. Now that you mention it, the faster he loses weight, the more sick he seems to be. I'll keep this theory in...

Throat Problems & Celiac?
FoxersArtist replied to FoxersArtist's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Thanks a bunch!!! It sounds like we are already headed in the right direction since hubby is going to start an elimination diet which includes the foods you listed. Hubby read along with me, laughed, and said "well, I guess we're in it together. Partners in crime." As far as excercise, I'm trying to avoide that right now anyway as I have lost tons of... -
My throat has felt really irritated for a long time but I guess i never really thought there was a major problem because my doc would look into the back of my throat with his light and tell me it looked fine whenever I complained about it. About a year ago I started noticing that when I would sing, my voice would crack when I tried to hit a high note and...

After almost 4 months of being gluten free, hubby has recently started having sever digestive problems and is running to the bathroom after every meal. I have never seen him so sick. We have decided to put him on a diet of only meats, some veggies, some fruits and rice to see what he is allergic to by slowly adding one thing back into his diet at a time...

ARCHIVED Deathly Sick And Pregnant
FoxersArtist replied to Meliexox's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I was pregnant while suffering from celiac disease with both of my children. I did have moderate complications with the biggest celiac related complications being a constant battle with pre term labor and delivered both babies pre term even after hormone injections and pills to stop labor. I have read that with untreated celiac, there is a greater risk... -
Those were the words my husband used when I timidly approached him last night about some recent research I had been doing regarding his diet. We have both been gluten free since mid-may and have both given up most dairy products as well with the exception of a few cultured items that have not seemed to cause any stomach upset. The gluten free diet, which...

ARCHIVED Could Undiagnosed Celiac Lead To Rage/mood Swings?
FoxersArtist replied to ItchyMeredith's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Gluten has been known to affect lots of people who suffer from mood disorders, especially things like bipolar disorder and sever depression. I'm willing to bet that the gluten free really helped your father but he has other food allergies which contribute to the reflux and other physical issues. I would beg and plead with him to stick to the diet. I can... -
As some of my previous posts have indicated, I have been fairly entertained by the idea of making gluten free foods of all different kinds. Eating new foods that I never thought to try before has been an adventure I am happy to have found, and obviously, feeling better is a big part of that. Recently I had been having a lot of stress in my life and my...

ARCHIVED The Gluten Nightmare
FoxersArtist replied to FoxersArtist's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Parrots are sooooo hard! In my opinion second only to adopting or having a human child. Very, very smart, very loud, very messy, frequently bite and command a lot of respect and attention from their people. They are not the right pet for the majority of the population and yet they are the 3rd most popular companion animal in the USA. Very sad. Amazingly... -
ARCHIVED The Gluten Nightmare
FoxersArtist replied to FoxersArtist's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Jestgar, Thank you SOO much for the help. The unfortunate problem is that each species of parrot requires a different diet...something that a lot of people don't understand and something I had perfected with their old diet, but I am now exploring the option of making my own mixes using quinoa or buckwheat, which would be better for them anyway. We'll see... -
My while family has been gluten free for 3 1/2 months after being shocked to learn that both hubby and I as well as at least one of our 2 kids has celiac. I could not feel more happy about being gluten free and can't imagine going back - though going into walmart where their Subway Restaurant is baking bread still makes me want to cry. (Why couldn't they...

ARCHIVED Day #2 Gluten Free
FoxersArtist replied to Live2BWell's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
When my husband and I first went gluten free, my gosh, were we HUNGRY. I couldn't stop thinking about how empty my tummy felt all the time and lost so much weight I wondered if there would even be anything left of me before long. It all did even out and we no longer feel hungry all of the time. Give it a few weeks and you'r body will adjust and stop craving... -
ARCHIVED Whole Foods/houston, Tx
FoxersArtist replied to Live2BWell's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
If you have a sweet tooth and don't mind preparing things from mixes, you have GOT to pick up a package of Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Brownie Mix while you are there. The Bob's red Mill gluten free chocolate chip cookie mix is yummy too! Mmmm. I can't believe there was life before that stuff. If you need a meal on the fly, whole foods sells, in the frozen... -

FoxersArtist replied to TriticusToxicum's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Ok, NOOO! Anything but that!!! My husband heard that a few months ago and thought it was the greatest phrase ever (Grrreeeaaat.) Somehow I just can't force myself to associate "kids" with my own BMs. Their BMs on the other hand, lets not go there. Our 2 year old dropped the kids off at the "ocean" the other day. Thank goodness Hubby was on duty as I... -

I think my very first recollection of the words "anal gland" came out of my brother-in-laws mouth and though I was quite sure it was too much information, I was not at all in the least bit surprised. What are brother-in-laws for? This was the same man who insisted that "Snakes on a Plane" was "awesome." -Anna
