    First off I'd like to say I hope your little one feels well soon. In my experience everyone responds differently to being glutened. I was glutened on Mother's day last month and I'm still feeling the effects. My dermatitis herpetiformis has mostly cleared up, but I am still in pain, and very fatigued. Another Celiac in the family was glutened at the same...

    I have found some good recipes on the following blogs, but they are not all vegan or gluten free blogs/recipes. The recipes may need modification to suit your needs. Let me know if you find one that you want to make, but need to sub. out an ingredient. I do that all the time, so I might be able to help you find something that works. Open Original Shared...

    (I'm sure most people know this, but to avoid any potential confusion I'd like to state that tofu is made from soy.) Early on in my recovery, and after I get glutened or casiened (which rarely happens) I stick to brown or white rice noodles that are cooked soft, red lentils, cooked to the consistency of refried beans, banana based baked goods, hemp milk...

    Hello! Fellow vegan with Celiac here! Karina's kitchen has great recipes, I'm so glad someone sent you there. I just found her recently through Twitter. The list of what you can eat is similar to what I do eat, except I don't think I am allergic to any fruits anymore, and I do occasionally have a little soy. But I'm not sure how complete the list of what...

    I was "glutened" about 3 weeks ago and I am still experiencing discomfort in my abdomen after I eat. I think inflammation and damage to the villi are reasons why I am in pain, not the food I have eaten since. Since I first went gluten-free I have never purposefully eaten anything that contains gluten, so I do not really know what happens when I eat a...

    In my experience anyone who finds any relief of their symptoms by going on a gluten free diet doesn't want to start eating gluten again to get an official diagnosis. Without being "properly" diagnosed you are potentially opening yourself up to being called a hypochondriac again. I agree that any health professional who is using shaming tactics like calling...

    They also make a product called "Sticks and Twigs". The curry flavored ones remind me ever so slightly of my once-beloved sesame sticks.

    Thanks. He's not vegan, but he understands it. He's got a sense of humor about my situation, without making me the butt of the joke. This is new to me, and I'm really enjoying it. I forgot to mention, not only is close to my age, he's actually younger. I have cautious optimism. I think in general non-food-centered socializing is so much more fun...

    I wear gloves a couple times a day at work. I have DH, and my skin gets irritated by prolonged exposure to latex. I wear non-powdered nitrile gloves, and I've never had any problem with any of the brands I've used. Another option might be silicone gloves, though most people seem to find them cumbersome.

    So, I started seeing someone who is very patient and understanding about my Celiac/vegan thing. We do non-food-centric activities like movies and farmers markets and walks. When we eat it's been at my place, and he's willing to brush his teeth with gluten free toothpaste or forgo kissing me on the mouth or sharing a drink with me. He's made a couple mistakes...

    I hope you feel better quickly! Could it be a cross contamination issue? A utensil or hand touching a gluten-y surface and then touching your drink? Or some gluten residue in the equipment they used to make your drink? I'm very sensitive to gluten, and this is what gets me most of the time, not the actual ingredients in the food I order. I think,...

    Even the most mild mannered statement of fact can be too much for some people. A local guy who is on a gluten free diet and I were talking about restaurants, and he mentioned one that I hadn't been to, and he recommended the tabbouleh. Tabbouleh is almost always made with wheat. When I mentioned that and inquired further about the ingredients, he got really...

    I think there is more to the whole dating thing than where to eat and expecting to be respected and appreciated. So you want to kiss your date? Does he/she have gluten residue in their mouth from their last drink/meal or their toothpaste or breath mints? Does their lotion contain gluten? What about lip balm/lipstick? I'm very sensitive to even trace...

    Hey, I'm new to the forum. Glad to find a fellow San Diegan on here!

    I would think that your substitutions would be ok, but without knowing what you are trying to make, it's hard to answer you. Coconut oil and Canola oil are interchangeable for some purposes, but act very differently under some conditions. The same is pretty much true of walnuts and cornflakes. So, what is the recipe for?
