    I was at a “Greek” restaurant last night and saw a Greek omelette. I hadn’t had a gyro since becoming gluten-Intolerant, due to the pita they always come in. So, I quickly googled if gyro meat was gluten-free and I got this “A standard gyro meat recipe (you can find them simply by doing a google search) would be gluten-free. Lamb or lamb and beef mi...

    It's seems like forever since I've been here. and I can already hear the gasps over this question. I don't know if its just me or everyone, but has anyone else seen a site on your facebook timeline about EINKORN flour? Has anyone actually had the nerve to try it? They say its an ancient wheat flour. So, no its not an alternative to wheat. It IS wheat. But...

    Yes, the probiotics, taking high doses over a period of time, healed my leaky gut. The type I take are "3.0 Billion CFU's per capsule". I took one in the morning and one at night. I still take them. I've read that gluten issues "leech", or suck, vitamins/minerals and our "villi" is always going to be struggling to keep up. Vit. D is one of those. I'm not...

    Sadly, I think stress does all kinds of things to us that we don't realize. Even when we think we've got a handle on the stress. When my father was sick and dying I was VERY aware of the stress of the situation and did everything I could to deal with it and thought I was doing well. But there were DEFINITE things going on with my body that forced me to come...

    From my own experience, nothing will be seem better till a leaky gut is healed. I found a gluten-free/allergen free vitamin/mineral place online at kirkmanlabs.com. I still use their Lactobacillus Acidophilus probiotics because dairy use to be a bigger issue for me when I discovered my gluten-intolerance also. So my doctor's suggestion of eating yogurt was...

    You are right, of course, Caselynn. Thank you.

    Another poster says it is. I have no clue as to why it bothers me. Its kinda hard as my husband loves it and puts it on everything he cooks. He sets aside my stuff and doesn't use it on mine, of course, but I'm noticing that restaurants use it quite a bit too. I'd just like to know what there is about it that's bothering me.

    I've tried searching this site and can't find anything else re: Lawry's Season Salt. I also did a Ask.com query and discovered that the company confirmed that according to their ingredients list, is indeed glutenfree. So why do it seem to hugely bother me?? I do indeed have other food groups that I have issues with but NONE of them are in Lawry's. I grew...

    My family and I traveled there in May for the first time. Its ALWAYS scary traveling with multiple food intolerances/allergies!! Its really not THAT hard to find gluten-free in HI. As with anywhere, the nicer the restaurants, the easier it is to find do-able items on a menu AND real chefs that can customize. But seafood and fish is SOOOO plentiful there...

    WOW, That's impressive!!
  11. jststric
    You know, you both could very well be gluten-intolerant and there's no test for that. And its often just as bad as any "official" Celiac diagnosis. The only difference is that a true Celiac can say they have a specific disease, where we intolerant folks can't. "Intolerant" gives the impression that its not serious, when in fact it can be just as nasty. ...

    ARCHIVED Fast Food

    jststric replied to DonnaMM's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Awww, so sorry! I think McDonald's fries are NOTORIOUS in THIS community for not being gluten-free, altho McD's will tell you otherwise, quoting such miniscule numbers after the cooking, etc. McD's doesn't have a clue about cross-contamination either. As doesn't most fast food places. I DO eat Wendy's salt fries...they are DELISH. And Jimmy John's sandwiches...
  13. jststric
    WOW, what I'd give for some great flatbread like that! You state you are normally pretty sensitive to cross-contaminations. But you are having no problems with it at the moment? I would go ahead and enjoy it as long as you can. I SUSPECT if you are like me....there may come a time when it WILL bother you. Perhaps that's because when I find something I love...

    I would check with your doctor. I don't have experience with pregnancy while having Celiac....I became gluten-intolerant and other foods too, in mid-life. But I would say if you are basically a healthy person, otherwise, it most likely could be controlled with doctor's help. I wouldn't waste any time checking into it, tho. A child is such a blessing....
  15. jststric
    ah, AUTO-CORRECT, lmbo!!! Gotta love it, dontcha? It sure makes communications interesting once in awhile! : )

    I'm not officially Celiac, but have gluten-intolerance, at least. I am also bothered by rice. I have just recently gotten where I can have it in a limited way. I do better with brown rice than white. And wild rice is completetly fine. But I've read wild rice is officially a GRASS and not rice. I'm curious what the other poster meant with the word "wharf"...
  17. jststric
    My list is rather lengthy and it all hit about the same time...suddenly at age 47. Glutens, dairy, nuts, eggs, beans and rice. I have gotten where I can do rice in a very limited amount and only occasionally. And I can do Lactaid milk and an occasional few bites of fresh mozzeralla and brie. I think the Lactaid helps with that.
  18. jststric
    Well, there's certainly SOMETHING in it that bothers the heck out of ME!! I have NO idea what it is, but it kills me.
  19. jststric
    How ironic to read this at this very minute! I just made my first successful mac-n-cheese and am sitting here CHOWING! I have used Quinoa pasta for awhile now and like it very much. I just recently found Daiya cheeses at my health food store also and WOW! Put those with Wild River soy butter and Lactaid milk....NIRVANA!!!!!! I am also very intolerant to products...
  20. jststric
    Bless your heart! At least you got your results officially. I had to come up with mine on my own. I Am gluten , dairy, nut, rice and bean intolerant. Dont fit into vegetarian diets OR vegans really. You will find your way, I promise. You will have to READ, READ, READ labels. I have one recommendation.....Sunbutter spread. It's so much like peanut butter only...

    I do Costco roasted chickens really well. But I do alot of "from scratch cooking". Gluten isn't my only issue, so I kinda have to. I love fixing wild rice, as well as quinoa. Both, I get at Costco. Fresh or frozen veggies, meat and fruit....whole foods, are my staples.

    ARCHIVED Dill?

    jststric replied to jststric's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Thanks everyone. I know its a really random ingredient. I started being bothered by it a couple of years ago and stopped using it. It was store-bought, dried. But I bought a new can of Watkins brand and decided to try again. I fixed it in a simple little butter sauce (soybutter) with some shrimp. It sure was YUMMY but, boy, there were the repurcussions...

    ARCHIVED Dill?

    jststric posted a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Is anyone else bothered by DILL???
  24. jststric
    Some great ideas here! I just wanted to add that you aren't alone!! I am in the same boat you are. But I AM able to do some oats, so oatmeal is good for me. I also gave up on the idea that breakfast food was the only foods I could eat in the mornings. Many days, leftovers from last night's supper is my breakfast!! Who says it can only be eaten later...

    I've inky lived in the area 5 yrs, so not very well versed in doctors here. But I have a GI I would highly recommend. He's not specifically a pediatric GI, but I bet he would have some great recommendations. He's also not in the Beaumont system. He's in the Providence system. His name is Dr. Mark Devore. Best wishes.
