Sorry to double post, but I get home last night and my boyfriend is on the phone.. yep that's right, ordering a pizza! So I thought right, then.. I'll test out the polenta pizza. And here's how it turned out: I used the recipe as more of an idea and did something like this.. *1/2 cup polenta, 1 1/2 cups water (cook as per usual...

it really is as you say missy'smom, starting from the beginning. And that can be an opportunity if we look at it the right way I found that I lost 10kg since going gluten free last year -so, 22 pounds?- now making me 44k (96.8 lbs) at about 165cm (5'5) i'm just trying to keep up with vitamins, water (something i need to practice more..), and...

oooh my boyfriend keeps ordering pizza at the 'tummy rumble get home for dinner and nothing prepared' time! pizza monster! I found a recipe somewhere the otherday that uses polenta as a base (looking for something yeast free).. haven't got to try it yet (must buy those tomatoes...) but here is a link to one version: Open Original Shared Link

and make sure you're drinking plenty of water too!

About 1/2 hour or so.. then can last for anywhere up to an hour (intense nausea, tummy gurgles etc) or a day (headaches, lethargy, general tummy unsettle) *ginger can really help nausea for me I find.. there's a co. called buderim if you're in Aus/NZ that makes some really good glace ginger called "naked ginger" ~ so it's not sticky and not crystallised...

hey Yasemin, a point I would think about is you said he is eating hot dog sausages (no bread) for lunch everyday; and because you mentioned he doesn't want to take packed lunch, does that mean he is buying the sausage at work/stall/shop etc? Pretty much *all* commercially produces sausages/hotdogs have gluten in them ~ used as a filler and binding...

point taken paperdoll yes, I have been conditioned to not believe in myself by my family - and I think my main motivation for getting tested was to settle it with them. I guess I let my awareness down, & their opinions take over, in my frustration [which, being human, unfortunately catches up with us all sometimes.. ]. so, thanks for your advice...

well, results are in and everything is "normal". Funny that, seeing I'd been on a gluten free diet for 6 weeks prior to the bloodtest. Been referred to a gastro specialist who most likely wants to do an endoscopy - but now it's been about 2 months since gluten eating so they might not even find anything (plus I get big anesthetic reactions so I kinda...

Hi there The games are beginning for me too, it seems. Gluten free for 6 and a bit weeks, and I haven't felt so good! I've actually started to forget what I felt like after eating it! Anyhow, got a bloodtest with the panels (as suggested by mother goose earlier) ~ although the doc said that it'll probably show negative because I haven't eaten it...
