    Check it out! for everyone who loves baking with Spectrum's original shortening, they are coming out with a butter flavored version!! I hope it's even better than the original...a vegan butter alternative!! gluten free of course too. Open Original Shared Link Jana

    I use it as a soy sauce replacement, to jazz up veggies (as you mention), in marinades, stir fry, etc. I like that product a lot. Enjoy.

    My conclusion is that the Frito Lay products are hit or miss - cc may always be an issue and depending on how sensitive you are, should probably be avoided all together. When I do corn products, I try to stick with white corn that's been de-hulled and/or processed to make it white. Anything else - I avoid completely. I have consistently good results with...

    Maybe something that's used to preserve the chicken is bothering you. I know they do add stuff. Buy organic if you can - even Smart Chicken (regular or organic). They use a different process. I've been getting local, free-range chickens. Butchered fresh, nothing added. That's not an option for everyone, I understand. - Jana

    Of all the nightshades that I've tried, potatos are the worst for me, but I haven't tried eggplant since going on a restricted diet. For a potato substitute, I use either yams (the orange ones) or sweet potatoes (the white ones) both with great success. I tolerate them really well. Jana

    I'm okay with digestive enzymes that include Malt Diatase - as most of them do include it. I did a lot of looking around before I tried them, and I don't react to them. - Jana

    My $.02...I had a recent bout with a tummy bug also, and it really set back my healing. I'm not Celiac but pretty much have all they signs/symptoms with negative genetic test results. Anyway, I'm forming a theory here that these tummy bugs really mess with our guts! (as if we already didn't know that?). I'm just surprised at how far it put back my healing...

    I've been on the generic version of Voltaren for several months now for back pain without adverse gastro side-effects. It may be worth looking into though it is still an NSAID. Short of that, try looking into herbal supplements that may help ease your menstrual pain - there's a lot out there though I don't know the specifics of them I was using them for fertility...

    It seems like there's a lot of variation here - I went nightshade free just a few days after going gluten-free. My reaction to potatoes was obvious & not fun! Tomatoes weren't as bad, but they did give me a stomach ache. Several months avoiding tomatoes & peppers did the trick because I can now have limited amounts of tomatoes & peppers. A lot...

    That is certainly a possibility. Lots of kids, for instance, get rashes when cow's milk get introduced into the diet and I've heard that ezema (sp?) is often caused by diary issues.

    I've been taking 5,000 IU of D3 for the past 6 weeks or so as a flu preventative. This week I accidentally glutened myself for 3-4 days - what a da??? I know, I know. Anyway - the good news is that the since realizing what I was doing, my symptoms seemed to have passed more quickly than in the past, but I wasn't sure if it was because I'm healing - maybe...

    lots of people use the spit test for candida. I don't know if it works or not but I can tell you that mine was positive but that wasn't the deciding factor for me to start treating it as candida. It was a number of things combined. - Jana

    Yeast is definitely my problem as well. I had so many Celiac symptoms but also had symptoms from many carbs - potatoes, for instance and even squash & other nightshade veggies. I clued in to the yeast issue after testing negative for Celiac genes - I realize that is controversial, but I think in my case, it is correct. I'm not Celiac, but I am certainly...

    I've pretty much determined that Leaky Gut from candida and/or flora imbalance is the root of my gluten and other food intolerances. I'm gluten-free and free of just about any source high in carbs - can't do potatoes, squash, most fruits, etc. And I'm supplementing with some things recommended for killing Candida & healing my gut. This process began in...
  15. Jana315
    Lynayah, Systemic candida can cause gluten intolerance (the bugs put holes in your gut - aka Leaky Gut that causes gluten intolerance), so I don't think it would be considered a false positive. I AM gluten intolerant - just as much as anyone with Celiac, at this point in my life. I suppose the difference is that at some point, I may be able to heal enough...
  16. Jana315
    It can be really tricky to nail down what you're reacting to. For me, gluten first and then I discovered that I was also reacting to nightshades - potatoes, tomatoes, eggplant, peppers. That helped tremendously when I first discovered that food intolerances were at the root of my issues. Then, as time has gone on, I've discovered that my issue is NOT celiac...

    If she's really having trouble with just about everything, look up information on the GAPS diet. It is designed to allow and help heal your digestive system. On bad days, I revert back to that and start with homemade broths - always very soothing to my system. It is really a trial and error, but you'll find some things that she can eat and then slowly add...

    Hi & welcome. I'm sorry that you're still feeling so bad. As you read on here and elsewhere you'll see that a lot of people's issues go far beyond gluten. Primarily lactose intolerance or intolerances to other common things like soy, or night shade vegetables (potatoes, tomatoes, peppers & eggplants). Are you keeping a diary? Can you tie your...

    My nails are nicer, I've got new baby hairs growing at my hairline & - get this - my feet are smaller???? about a half size - must be the bloat or something. Just a few things that I've noticed since going gluten-free aside from the improvements in my digestive & neurological symptoms. I'm not complaining!
  20. Jana315
    Oh yea - I know Tropical Traditions. We supply them oils I'm making a loaf of coconut flour bread right now and I'm planning some almond flour pancakes for tomorrow AM....hope they are YUMMY - I'm loosing weight because there's so few things I can eat which is not totally a bad thing except that I'm very hungry...
  21. Jana315
    I can use almond flour, but I don't have that book either - I'll have to give them both a try. As much as possible, I get my recipes off the web so I don't end up with a big collection of books that don't get used - but at this point, it would be good to get a few good gluten-free baking books. Jana
  22. Jana315
    Title says it all - I've tried tons of gluten-free flours and recipes and I can't use potato starch, so I'm always looking for new ideas. I like the coconut flour is okay on the GAPS or SCD - so, who's tried this book & is it worth buying? Thanks! Jana
  23. Jana315
    That is really disappointing, I'm sure. You should call them if you feel comfortable. You know, it could be something as simple as not using fresh water to boil the pasta. People who aren't sensitive themselves have a really hard time understanding cross contamination and how careful you have to be when preparing foods. I hope you feel better soon.

    If I do everything right, Gastritis is a thing of the past, but I don't have diary issues. Try cutting out the diary for several days - maybe a week and see if the issues resolve. If they do, try 1 diary item per day and see how you feel. If you've been glutened 2 weeks ago, it should be gone by now unless you've got something else causing issues.
  25. Jana315
    Since breads & baked goods seem to freeze well, generally speaking, I'd bet freezing biscuits would be a great idea! I think I'm going to try that. There's a decent & very easy recipe for drop biscuits on gluten free cooking school.com (if memory serves) - I need to do that ASAP. I like to keep grab & go goods for myself in the freezer.
