    Happy birthday and may God bless you today!

    I am intolerant to: gluten, legumes, dairy, almonds, yeast, nitraties, palm, corn, etc.--see full list below and my husband is intolerant to beans (he can only have sweet onions and low acid tomatoes--others bother him), my youngest is gluten sensitive (does not have celiac disease) and lactose intolerant, my oldest is intolerant to cinnamon, beans, and nitrates...

    I remembered something else thanks to happygirl. I didn't replace my pans right away (all new a separate now). Forgot and used my old rolling pin (went to goodwill), had to stop using all the plastic because the rest of the family couldn't seem to not use mine, have gotten sick from putting something in the microwave right after something else and got sick...

    A food diary is an excellant way to find out what other intolerances you might have. That is how I have been able to figure out most of my food issues. Also, now that I have a known list of foods I am intolerant to, it is easier for me to determine new food issues that develop. Most recently I figured out I am intolerant to the calcium supplent that is...

    I got it at 27 with my kids but you should check with you doctor, just in case.

    I too am going to voice my opinion. As the only gluten free in the house, second marriage of 7+ years, 2 teen boys/mine, 1 teen girl/his, almost all dinners are safe for me to eat unless we do a special treat like nachos (can't have corn chips) or pizza because mine is too expensive. Breakfast everyone is on their own. Lunches at home are the same,...

    We have found that we need to knead the chebe mixes a little more than we would anything else and they rise fine. I am not into the look of them though, only the taste and the fact that I have bread I can EAT!!! After a bad experience with Pamela's several years ago, I haven't tried anything since but I think I heard on here they have a dedicated factory...

    I think the new look is a nice change and I am very thankful for Scott keeping up the site since I love reading and occasionally posting.

    I eat the Nutty Rice all the time and have a box of the Nutty Flax that I was waiting for a day that I was going to be home just in case I do react becuase I never know what will affect me.

    I have a yeast intolerance, not candida. Even after a year on antibiotics for doctor suspected lyme disease, I had no problems with yeast infections. However, I run a fever, have brain fog for days, extreme fatigue within 30 minutes for hours after, and digestive issues when I eat yeast products.

    I buy the pasta but make my own egg noodles (Gluten Free Comfort Foods p. 93). We do eat less pasta but really enjoy it when we do splurge. We only keep my pasta in the house except for mac & cheese mixes for the kids and dh.

    I know this is all so overwhelming but it gets much better, really. Especially since you will start to heal and get better. As to cc, I didn't think much about it until after I made me something to eat on a counter that I didn't clean and ended up with a bread crumb, yes a crumb, and was sick for days. OK, reality check, need to clean. I also didn...

    This year, I plan to show up to their house full which is what they did to me last year after I cooked a huge meal, three meats, three dressings, tons of finger foods for the before and after, lots of sides, three different kinds of pie for a total of 5 pies, etc. At least last year I didn't make homemade whipped cream for them to not eat because they prefer...

    I just had to stop using my old aluminum pans that I have been using for years since everything I make on them makes me sick...I keep them around now for the kids and their stuff. I normally use only new, glass, or stainless steel.

    I only wish they would change the type of vanilla they use - not sure what it is but it makes me sick. However, I do have to make my own with potato vodka since I cannot tollerate any grain alcohols like most people can. If they did, I would buy more of their products, expensive or not...they work great when I have to be out all day for fencing tournaments...

    I buy their products because, it is something packaged that I can eat, YEA!!! However, I don't know what their vanilla has in it but every time I try those products, I get sick so that limits what I can buy of theirs but at least it is something. Nobody else even comes close!

    I switched to sea salt to avoid the anti-caking agent which is corn derived that is in most salt. I use regular salt when I go out but when at home, I use the good stuff without corn derived stuff. I am going to check out those vitamins too...I haven't found one locally that I could use!!! For all the cooking from scratch, it does take time...

    I had to request special handling of my chicken and turkey from the butcher I use because I have a problem with styrofoam and then discovered a problem with the pad that is placed under the chicken. It has some preservatives in it and I don't know what else but I have them hold a chicken out for me each week and I pick it up the next day, sans pad and styrofoam...

    I make our own fries sometimes in the oven sometimes in the deep fat fryer. I eat fries at Cheeseburger in Paradise (because I can't have veggie oil and they use canola).

    I had one of my son's (the one that doesn't seem to have a problem with gluten, I have one who seems sensitive to it so he rarely eats anything with gluten - the test for celiac disease came back negative) taste the regular dressing/stuffing. Everything else is gluten free but since I am also yeast intolerant, my dressing/stuffing really just won't cut it...

    I am intolerante to yeast but discovered that on my own without testing. I avoid all gluten-free beer, wine, some vitamins (some B vitamins have yeast), vinegar, and yeast. I do remember reading in the beginning that tomatoes have a similar yeast and do bother some people. I eat them without too many problems. I expected to have a problem with...

    Hey, I didn't change anything until I kept getting sick and was able to pinpoint the problem to specific pots and it cleared up when I changed. I had a very miserable camping vacation getting sick every night and spending it in the port-a-pottie before realizing it was my old non-stick skillet that we were using and realizing that was the problem. I...

    If she uses regular bread for regular stuffing and stuffs the bird, you can't eat the bird. If I am going to someone elses house (like this year), I make some stuff that I can eat to take and either make enough to share, like a pie, or just a plate of your food if you don't want to put her out. I would suggest, since it is your mom, not stuffing the...

    I discovered my problems in the completely safe to eat cookies, that it was the vanilla that was used. I don't know what it is derived from but I cannot have any grain alcohols so I am guessing that is the problem.
  25. kabowman
    Sounds like you have a very supportive husband...mine is also wonderful, takes care of family issues for me with his people and totally supports all we do at home, even though I know he thinks I can get carried away sometimes with the cleaning. Now that you are admitting you need to stay away from gluten, for life, you should look at your kitchen and...
