Thank you, I love blackened walleye. Hopefully I'll be able to find that brand where I live. Thanks! -
ARCHIVED What To Eat At Weekend Conference In New Orleans?
veggf replied to Linda74's topic in Traveling with Celiac Disease
Hi Linda, I'd recommend that you contact either the hotel or the organization/agency that is planning the conference. I went to a conference for work this past spring and I filled out the "special accomadations" form that was in our registration packet (your conference may not have this exact form but they most likely have to have some method for you... -
Hi, Tom is right--gluten-free bread can be good. I'd really encourage you to experiment with baking and different mixes. I really thought that the gluten-free bread and baked goods I first tried were gross. But I've experimented on my own, tried different recipes, tried different mixes, etc. My sister who is not a Celiac (or at least not sick yet...

Hi Barb, There are lots of options out there, although it doesn't seem that way at first. The Gluten Free Pantry makes some great mixes for pancakes, bread, muffins, etc. Pamela's makes a great pancake mix that I use for making waffles. Those products are available in most health food stores. You can often find them cheaper by ordering online or...

Hi, I don't know if this helps but I believe Bob's Red Mill Xantham Gum use to carry a gluten-free Lefse recipe on their package. It is however not listed on their new package. I would recommend the Bob's Red Mill website. Enjoy the lefse, I haven't had any in years.

Hi, Weddings are such joyful occasions and very stressful for the wedding party and their families. When I had a friend who was getting married recently check to see if there was anything she could do for me food wise at the reception, I said no. I ate before the reception and brought a small gluten-free snack bar in my purse. I ate bare fruit and veggies...

Is Nausea A Symptom Of Celiac?
veggf replied to spaz-bubble's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hi, Welcome to the world of Gluten Free! I think you will find that you feel better soon. I believe that nausea is a symptom. I had frequent nausea before dx, and I also have it when I accidently eat gluten now that I'm gluten-free. Just to be on the safe side though, see if you can get your GI and GP docs to communicate with eachother on the... -
Hi All, Hope everyone is enjoying the fall season! CuriousJ--That is a great PR, you should shout about it! I'm so glad to hear from other endurance athletes w/celiac disease and to hear it is going well with Celiac athletes. Stef...--Potatoes are a good idea...I had a baked potato after a ride (after my post-ride protein) and the potato really...

Hi All, Aaascr, I'm excited to look into Nutiva's Hemp gluten-free products, thanks for the info. Hemp is supposed to be quite the wonderfood. You asked about energy drinks, do you mean like the protein energy drinks or the electrolyte replacement energy drinks? If it is electrolyte repl.--Gatorade is gluten-free according to the call I placed to...

ARCHIVED Does Anyone Get Stressed About Their Diet
veggf replied to Tutahl75's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Hi, I know this is an old conversation, but hopefully still relevant. Tutahl75, it does get easier and it is so nice to know why you get symptoms, even though symptoms and getting "Celiac Whacked" is no fun. In general you will get c-whacked less and less often as you learn more about the diet. But you will likely still have occasional accidental... -
ARCHIVED Vinegar Clarification Please...
veggf replied to wifeofceliac's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Hi, I was told or read (but I can't remeber where) that there had been some cross contamination in some factories after the distilation process and that was why Celiacs shouldn't consume, white distilled vinegar. But as I said I can't remember the source for this info, so interpert it how you wish. At any rate I think it is great that we can all exchange... -
I like gluten-free rice cereal with soy milk, gluten-free Pantry's Fav. Sandwich Bread, rice cakes (Lundgren's) with either hummus or PB&J, gluten-free pasta, gluten-free rice pilafs, and wild rice. Hope this helps.
-
Hi All, Thanks for all the info! Yeah!--Celiac Athletes! I'm a road cyclist, I'm not a runner, but both are endurance sports. I've run into the same problem, Jill, with maintaining my energy. I've found that if I drink a watered down gluten-free sports drink (w/o refined sugars) throughout my rides (every 10 mins. +/-) that I can maintain my energy...
-
Hi Michelle, I agree with jendenise that informing her of the basics BEFORE she moves in would be helpful. I agree with you about not wanting to reintroduce gluten to your home. What about making sure that your house is stocked up with good gluten- free rolls, bread, crackerrs, etc. There is a "roll" recipe (Salem Crumpets) that I use from "The gluten...

HI, The Sept/Oct 2004 issue of Her Sports magazine has a little part of an article on Celiac Disease. The article is mainly on food allergies, but it has a little bubble with info about celiac disease. Yeah! Take Care!
-
Hi Libby and All, Once again I know people haven't wrote on this issue for awhile, but hopefully you're all still reading this board. I had my first race this weekend (road bike), I placed second for my age catagory:) I was really worried if I would be able to sustain my energy because I had been "Celiac Whacked" about 5 days before. After that day...
-
Hi All, I know it has been awhile since anyone has written on this topic so I hope you're all still out there. I've got my first (road) race coming up in a couple of weeks. I'm still struggling with finding the right diet to give me endurance and to avoid cramping (I cannot eat bananas). I am finding more things to munch on rides, Jerry thank you for...
-
Hi All, I realize that this won't help everyone, but since there people who represent a variety of religions here (including Episcopalian) I wanted to let you know that the most recent newpaper/newletter put out by the Episcopal Diocese of Minnesota had a big article about completely gluten free communion bread and it included recipes. Awesome! I am...

ARCHIVED Summer Camp?
veggf replied to gf4life's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Hi, I direct youth programs including camps. From my experience I think that you both have the right idea. I would also recommend including some literature from a med/research org about celiac disease. That way, if there is anyone on the camp staff who doubts celiac disease, they will be able to read about celiac disease from a professional resource... -
Hi All, Does anyone know of a gluten-free potica recipe? It is a Slovenain/Slovenian-American bread. Thanks!
-
Hi, Yeah! Thanks Marke for bringing up the topic, I really struggle with this. I do not race yet, but that is my goal for this season (I mainly road ride). I struggle with keeping enough energy, this was never a problem before my celiac disease manifested. I eat continuously! I don't recover as well as I use to. Jinscoe, I appreciate your specific...

I decided with my Episcopal minister that I would bring my own rice bread wrapped in plastic and it would get blessed with the rest. He keeps the plastic wrap after handing me my gluten-free host. It works well. The curiousity of children has been interesting as they interupt communion to ask why mine is different:) I do not take wine/blood because of...

Kristina, Can you eat nuts? I eat cashews, almonds, peanuts, sunflower seeds, seasame seeds, etc. Cashews are great alone or in a stir-fry or an Indian dish. Almond slivers are great in hot cereal (gluten-free) or with wildrice. Peanuts are good with almost anything! Sunflower seeds are good on salads or in trail mixes. Seasame seeds are delicious...
-
Hi, Thanks to both of you! Connie, you are right there are a lot of easy gluten-free foods out there! After a year gluten-free (diagnosed April '03) I find ways to prepare for outings and I am way better at asking the right questions in restaurants. And I feel better! I had forgotten how bad it was and then two weeks ago I got Celiac-Whacked twice...

Suzn14806 and All, When I read that article I was so glad that it mentioned grieving. I recommended the article to several family members so that they could get an idea of how it feels (emotionally). I often think that the emotional aspects are the hardest at times after diagnosis. I'm very glad that I am no longer sick, I feel great physically!-...
