ARCHIVED Help! Egg Free....
darkhorse replied to darkhorse's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
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...

ARCHIVED Musings On Compassion And celiac disease
darkhorse replied to Lisa16's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
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... -
ARCHIVED Living Harvest Hemp Milk
darkhorse replied to jnclelland's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
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. -
ARCHIVED Udi's Handcrafted Foods - Denver, Co
darkhorse replied to colorado's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
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... -
ARCHIVED Udi's Handcrafted Foods - Denver, Co
darkhorse replied to colorado's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
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... -
ARCHIVED Udi's Handcrafted Foods - Denver, Co
darkhorse replied to colorado's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
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.

ARCHIVED Gluten Free Booth At Coor's Field!
darkhorse posted a topic in Traveling with Celiac Disease
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... -
ARCHIVED Gluten-free Pet Food -- Really Necessary?
darkhorse replied to OliveBranch's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
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...

ARCHIVED Betty Crocker gluten-free Mixes
darkhorse replied to purple's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
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... -
ARCHIVED Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD)
darkhorse replied to AliB's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
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... -
ARCHIVED Ice Cream Or Cream Alternative
darkhorse posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
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... -
ARCHIVED Where To Get "schooled" On Soy Intolerance?
darkhorse replied to David's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
Soy is a bit easier to avoid simply because it must be listed as one of the big 8 allergens. My best suggestion is to do a Google search with the terms "soy free" or "soy allergy" and read the information that comes up. You don't need much more than that. I don't know about you, but I tend not to eat many specifically soy products like tofu or the like. All... -
ARCHIVED Gluten Free Ketchup
darkhorse replied to kimmeycat's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Muir Glen is also gluten-free but a bit pricey. Just be aware that the Heinz Organic may or may not be gluten-free. Heinz has two websites: on one it lists the organic as gluten-free and on the other it says it's not gluten-free, so beware. I decided to try it and had a reaction but later learned I am developing a nightshade intolerance so take that with... -
ARCHIVED Husband Recently Diagnosed, A Few Issues
darkhorse replied to cutecat's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
It also sounds like he may be having trouble coping with the diagnosis and it is easier for him to handle if he isn't the one that is dealing with it directly. Just something to consider. My husband is the same way about things he isn't happy about. He tends to ignore the issue and pushes it off to me to figure everything out. This can get very annoying but... -
ARCHIVED Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD)
darkhorse replied to AliB's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
I have to say that the amount of knowledge of the people in this thread is amazing. I have a nurse friend who has been trying to help with my ongoing stomach issues and she keeps wanting me to try different doctors, procedures and medications. She was really surprised that the diet changes have been working so well for me. I find if really funny that I have... -
ARCHIVED Raw-vegan Diet, Not Losing Weight. Help!
darkhorse replied to rtwaite's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I have done tons of research on this exact topic and I just about died when I saw that your doctor suggested you go down to 800 calories! My first thought was starvation mode and I'm glad you were able to see that too. Have you calculated how many calories you need in a day? You can search for these calculators online and they will give you a starting point... -
ARCHIVED How Careful Do I Need To Be?
darkhorse replied to kdonov2's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
If it makes you feel better, I have used cleaned wooden spoons without problem (I'm pretty sure at least). The wooden spoon that got me was when my husband used a wooden spoon to make himself regular pasta and then used the same spoon (without washing it) to make my gluten-free pasta. It was at the beginning and he thought CC was "all in my head." I started... -
ARCHIVED How Careful Do I Need To Be?
darkhorse replied to kdonov2's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I tested negative for Celiac, but I am definitely gluten intolerant. I am very sensitive and even the smallest amounts of cross contamination bother me. I have been CC'ed by cast iron cookware, wooden spoons, and I think scratched baking pans (but I'm not sure). I won't buy products that are made on the same equipment as wheat products. I react to the stupidest... -
ARCHIVED I'm Going Insane...
darkhorse replied to Liveenjoylife's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I really feel your pain. I seem to have developed a nightshade (tomatoes, peppers, potatoes) intolerance since going gluten free. We eat tomatoes and/or peppers at almost every meal and we use cayenne pepper as commonly as you would salt and black pepper. It has really thrown my husband and I off in our cooking options also. It seems to be the things... -
ARCHIVED Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD)
darkhorse replied to AliB's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
Well, I have decided to try the SCD due to other food intolerances popping up now that I am gluten and diary free. I am hoping that the diet will allow my gut to heal enough so I can reintroduce nightshades. I have been on the intro diet for one day and my cravings for something sweet or starchy have been out of control! I am drinking pure organic apple... -
This is my family, too. My entire mother's side of the family including my mom and grandmother have moderate to severe stomach issues with numerous surgeries. So when I started having problems I also jumped the gun to hopefully avoid many of the things they all went through. Unfortunately, I seem to have caught it a bit too late as other food intolerances...
