    PS: I am also learning that I need to be VERY STRICT in eating whole foods at about three hour intervals. When I bottomed out yesterday, I did not eat continually throughout the day. Today, I ate every three hours, and I was much better with my hunger level. How nice it is not to want to kill for food! Anyway, for me, it is best not to allow...

    Erin, I love you! You totally get it, and I cannot thank you enough for your very wise comments. I am anxiously awaiting any info you tap into. I am in the process of searching as well -- I believe that everything happens for a reason, and maybe what I will learn might someday help others. I agree with you about salad greens. For a while now...

    Loving this! It still makes me laugh out loud!

    Oh my gosh, I have to go see it. I haven't seen it in years! That and the Lumberjack Song are my two favorites. Thank you!

    Thank you very much. Do you, or does anyone know if there is a correlation between elevated gliadin and weight issues / hunger? I am having a heck of a time losing weight, and I wonder if it will take my gliadin going down to help my metabolism return to a more normal state.
  6. Lynayah
    Thanks. I would like to learn more. Might you have a resource or two (or more) to share? I am confused about how eating very small amounts can keep my gliadin level as has as it was previously. I really appreciate your help!

    Thank you for your excellent post. Here's the thing: Right now, the hunger for me is higher than I have known in many, many years. Here is an interesting note: I just had my Gliadin re-tested, and I am higher now than when I finished the gluten challenge, despite my being gluten-free. I have a post about it here and would welcome comments...

    Yes! AND if you tell them that your "secret recipe" is made from some incredibly expensive, exclusive cheese, then they start to salivate . . . and if, after that, you just keep your mouth shut just long enough, they throw money at you for the recipe. Catch it and run for the goal line! As I've always said, if peanut butter cost $100 an ounce...

    "Canned soups, chili, tuna" . . . well said! "little toothpicks with the curly plastic cellophane" . . . of course, dahlink! What else would even come close to making the perfect snack statement? Oh my gosh, in addition to Spam, Velveeta is gluten free, too? ALL VARIATIES? (Oh please tell me yes!) Talk about processed-food-heaven! Hold...

    see next post -- posted the same post twice in error. PS: Any Monty Python fans out there? "SPAM, lovely Spam, wonderful Spam!"

    I feel your pain! My husband has been out of work for many months, with just my income to support us, including education costs and other family support issues. Oh my gosh yes, it is hurtfully expensive, especially if you want to purchase products that are not whole foods. I agree: whole foods are the best bet: seasonal fruits and vegetables, meat...

    This sounds so good! My oldest daughter is coming home for the holidays, and she requested decorated cookies. This would be perfect for her as well -- much appreciated. I have it added to my grocery list and am excited to try it! I can eat butter. Can I substitute butter for shortening without a problem?
  14. Lynayah
    I would LOVE the recipe -- please post it! I think someone is already bringing pumpkin roll to the party, but I WANT THE RECIPE so very much for using over the holidays for my family -- thank you! Pumpkin roll always seemed to hard to me. I would really love to try to see if I can do it.

    I'm not really sure -- I'm more interested in recipes that get a lot of "wows!" regardless of the flavor.
  16. Lynayah
    Great tip! Thank you.

    Hi, Everyone: Next week, I will meet with my GIG (Gluten-Intolerance Group), and we will have a holiday cookie exchange. This group has been incredibly helpful to me -- they are the best, and I want to thank them by bringing a WONDERFUL batch of holiday cookies, along with the recipe. Right now, I have Better Batter and Pamela's Pancake and Baking...

    I just received the results to my second Gliadin test, and I'm higher now that I was when after doing the gluten challenge! Oh, good grief. My vitamin levels came back fine. Whooo-hooo! VERY happy about this. For those who may have an interest, I've posted a thread asking about higher Gliadin levels here: https://www.celiac.com/gluten-free...
  19. Lynayah
    Hi, Everyone: I just got the results to my second round of blood work (first round taken in September). My Gliadin is higher now (88) than it was immediately after my gluten challenge (86). Any thoughts? I have been gluten free since September and feeling better by the minute -- really GREAT results so far, thank goodness. I've made mistakes...

    I am embarassed to admit, but I kinda like it too, although I don't eat it due to sodium and weight issues . . . but wow, for others, what an easy thing to pack for travel or pick up while on the road. As memory serves, a lot of gas stations carry Spam in the grocery section . . . or at least they used to carry it. This will probably help a lot of folks...

    Check out my signature, below. All symptoms improved - except for white cell count which I have not had checked. Also, years back, I suffered from almost a full year's worth of chronic fatigue with swollen glands every day and a strep-like sore throat every morning and night. I don't know if gluten-sensitivity had anything to do with it, but since...

    When I get glutened, the only thing that seems to help is to drink more water and take a bath in Epsom salt. Still, it doesn't take it away. Only time does that, unfortunately. As for your having a difficult time not cheating, I am going to post here something that I posted in another thread earlier: Depravation isn't cool. It might help to try new...

    Erin, where is your article? I'd love to read it.
  24. Lynayah
    Thank you! Yes, weigh and measure, that's the only true way to tell. Even low carb vegetables add up after a while. What I find interesting is that, a lot of times, I actually get MORE food than I thought I would get. Without weighing, it is almost as easy to underestimate as it is to overestimate! I just love it when I get more food. Keeping...

    Prior to my diagnosis, I thought I was going crazy from how feeble-minded I had become. I couldn't figure anything out on my own . . . and if someone asked me where something was in the house, I couldn't find the words to answer them. The only way I could help them was to get up and show them where to look. Typos increased, as did using the wrong words...
