About Me

I am a 26 year old elementary school teacher. I am a confirmed (through diet) gluten/dairy intolerant. I come from a family that is known for their stomach issues, but none of them want to be tested because they think the diet would be too hard. I have always been active and athletic but recently I have been having trouble losing weight and my muscles and joints ache like an old person. I'm hoping that a Gluten-free Casein-free diet will help eliminate many of the problems I have been suffering from for years.

    Thanks for the replies. I can't use EnerG egg replacer because it has corn. We are going to retest corn shortly and hopefully she doesn't react but until then, we can't use it. Flax is only good in whole grain kind of stuff because it is so grainy and has a distinct flavor. It tastes pretty odd in something like a sugar cookie or white pasta. It will work...

    I need recipe help! I've been gluten and dairy free for over a year and I recently gave birth to my daughter who, it turns out, has tons of allergies. Since I am breastfeeding I can't eat any of her allergens. Her allergies are egg, soy, corn, nuts/peanuts, beans, chocolate, apples, oats, and shrimp. In addition to this I am also currently using a rotation...

    To give some information before I get yelled at I would like to say that I do not have Celiac, however I have gluten and dairy intolerance. When I eat dairy I get the same symptoms as when I eat gluten. I have been struggling off and on with other intolerances that I can't pinpoint exactly. I have been gluten and dairy free since May and I plan to stay that...

    I agree with this completely. You may feel empathy toward others in bad situations and try your best to help or not make the situation worse, but you wouldn't understand or have compassion without experiencing something similar yourself. My example of this would be that I am a teacher. One of my kids was diagnosed with diabetes over winter break last...

    I love this stuff since going gluten-free. I have seen the new boxes but they always have them next to the old boxes so I have not tried the new version yet. Is it really different? I only use it on cereal so I wonder if that makes a difference.

    I was able to get the Udi's white bread at Vitamin Cottage, but couldn't find it at Whole Foods. I didn't look at the WF on Powers. But I do have to say that I am in LOVE with the bread! Here is a direct quote from my non-gluten-free husband, "Holy crap it tastes like bread! You could make a sandwich with that!" I'm sold!! Now I just have to check...

    Thank you! I was planning to stop in to Whole Foods and Vitamin cottage today anyway so that works great. I don't remember seeing Udi's products, but they do tend to lump all the non WF brand items together. I know I had to specifically search for Kinnikinnik products in the past in order to even see them. I hope the Vitamin Cottage has it, too. They tend...

    Okay, what King Soopers in Colorado Springs carries these products? I have never really looked for them, but I have never come across them either. Someone help a sandwich craving gal out! (I'm trying to pretend I never saw the cinnamon rolls...)

    My throat hurt for several days after but they took a biopsy of my throat to check for Barrett's Esophagus. Maybe they did the same thing for you. Just try all the remedies they suggest for sore throats (salt water, ice cream, etc.) and it should help a bit with the pain.

    We went to a Rockie's game today and I usually just get a bunless hotdog or bring snacks to eat when we go there. I had researched the stadium a little and had not seen anything about gluten free products other than the fact that you are allowed to bring your own food. Well, on the way out of the stadium at the end of the game we walked right past a food...

    If you check out the work by Dogtor J, a veterinarian who is also a Celiac, you will see that gluten is actually really bad for our pets, too. I don't have dogs right now, but when I do I plan to put them on a gluten free pet food as well. You might check it out. He has some great information about food intolerance in people on his website as well. Open...

    Well... everyone kept saying 2months after going gluten-free and guess what... I'm pregnant! OMG I am still in shock. My hormones were messed up and yet somehow this worked. I was charting using FAM and my charts showed lack of ovulation, irregular cycles with breakthrough bleeding, and luteal phase defect where my luteal phase was always less than...

    I found them in Colorado today! They had the brownies, cookies, and yellow cake mixes. I didn't get them because they contain potato flour/starch and I am avoiding nightshades. It was probably better for my flabby tummy anyway! They were in the regular baking aisle, just under the other Betty Crocker mixes. I think they were $4.29 or something very close...

    Soy is illegal on the SCD because Elaine researched and was concerned by all the bad things that soy can do to your body. Soy is actually not healthy for you at all and the American Heart Association removed their endorsement of soy as a heart healthy food (quietly so as not to upset the soy growers) after their own research proved how dangerous it can be...

    I have recently figured out that I am coconut intolerant, much to my dismay. I had been using coconut as an alternative to dairy for cream and ice cream, but now that option is gone. What are other alternatives for cream or ice cream that I can use that are gluten, dairy, soy, and coconut free? I have seen rice dream ice cream, but I have heard that the...
