    If anyone lives near a Woodman's store (Northern IL/Wisconsin grocery chain), they now stock gluten-free Rice Krispies (in the 'regular' cereal aisle for $2.99) and the new Udi's hamburger buns (freezer, $3.99/package).

    I've been a migraine sufferer since age 5. I only get them now when I ingest gluten - it is actually one of my later symptoms. They really aren't nearly as severe or long lasting as they used to be (pre-gluten free). I remember they would last for days and would get so bad I would vomit. Not anymore - they rarely last longer than one night (I usually need...

    I'm 5'6", which is about average for my family. Interestingly, the only other person in my family with a diagnosis is my grandma who is about 4'10".

    I will be staying in Jacksonville, Florida from Jan 24 - Jan 28 for a work function - any dining and/or grocery shopping suggestions? Thanks!

    I actually lost weight - and fast. I had always been really skinny, but in the 6 months before diagnosis I gained 40lbs (up to 155 lbs - I am 5'6"). Then when I was diagnosed, I lost about 20 lbs really quickly. Since, I have still been losing steadily and am now at a healthy 123. I think I have clothes that range from size 2 to size 12...

    I like the chocolate KinniTOOS (very similar to Oreos).

    I also subscribe & save on Amazon. I like the Oskri bars & the Bumble Bars, but those are very rare treats. You can also get gluten-free Bisquick for just over $4 a box. Dry beans are much cheaper & have way less sodium. I only buy produce that is on sale - so this time of year, a lot of cabbage, bananas are always cheap around here, apples...

    I like CO Bigelow's Mentha Lip Shines (from Bath & Body Works) - the Ultra is amazing.

    I was very colicky, too. Interesting article about a study relating colic & celiac: Open Original Shared Link My mom is convinced that because of the colic (& other telltale symptoms), my pediatrician should have tested for celiac sometime in the 18 years I saw him.

    Just let them rise & baked them in the oven. I don't think I ever had a successful loaf pre-breadmaker.

    RE: Keratosis Pilaris - my derm actually told me that KP can itch because it manifests through dry skin blocking the follicule/pore. Not sure if that is true or not, but for me, these bumps itch really bad & I end up with scars.

    My go-to is always dump cake. So easy, so bad for you, and everyone loves it. I want to stick to something easy this year because I have to make a whole gluten free meal for my fiance's family.

    Another vote for gluten-free Pantry - definitely the best I have tried.

    I also have a Cuisinart with a gluten free option - it works great. No more teeny tiny brick-like loaves for me!

    It all depends who I am speaking to - if I am at a restaurant, I say "gluten allergy" (and sometimes the server will say "Oh you have Celiac?"). If it is someone I come in contact with often, I will explain it - I usually say "I have celiac disease" and go into a long, detailed, often TMI description of it . On the other hand, my fiance just says "Monica...

    Very interesting... I wonder if it is an intolerance though (I really like PB & am hoping I can have it, and dairy also, again someday). Yes, I can eat tree nuts without any problem, it is only peanuts. And it is so painful! I guess I am going to have to buy some almond butter instead.
  17. summerteeth
    Do peanuts give anyone else severe stomach cramping (eggs do the same to me for some reason...). I have tried many different types of peanut butter (regular, low fat, all natural, organic...) & I'm not worried about gluten and/or casein contamination - yet each time I get these really severe stomach cramps. Just kind of wondering if anyone has any experience...

    ARCHIVED Sulfites

    summerteeth replied to Lisa's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut

    My fiance has an anaphylactic allergy to sulfites. He has to carry an epi pen just in case - usually he is okay with small amounts, but he can't go out of his way to have a glass of wine or two. Unfortunately it seems to be a hard allergy for doctors to recognize.

    Some repeats but: Udis white & whole grain bread (I also like Katz bread) EnviroKidz cereal/Glutino cereal/Nature's Path cereal Tinkyada Larabars Earth Balance spread Kitchen Basics broths (best gluten-free broth, IMO) Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot Cereal Mary's Gone Crackers Pirate's Booty/Michael Seasons/Food Should Taste Good chips Maple...

    Nope, no *intentional* soy, besides Earth Balance (I have one tub of soy free at work & one tub of not soy free at home). No soy milk, so soy ice cream. And no soy cheese (I LOVE cheese and I am afraid that soy cheese would be a let down). I don't really buy convenience foods - I make all of my meals - I didn't really change anything except instead...

    I decided to bite the bullet & go casein free. I have not had any dairy of any kind for a week & a half (I know, I know - not long). But I am having some rather strange side effects - usually I get C (which is why I started a casein free trial) - now, for the last 2 or 3 days, I have D (very strange for me, even in my pre-gluten free days). ...

    In my high school, when someone got mono they had to stay home until they got a doctor's note permitting them to return to school... I think people should stay home when they are sick.

    Baguette from this local baker just across the river from where I work with (real!) butter - preferably Kerrygold butter...
  24. summerteeth
    Definitely used to have that thought... then I would get accidentally glutened during my first of eating gluten free and realised that my reactions were WORSE than I remembered.
  25. summerteeth
    Oh my that would be so great- I would love gluten-free baklava.
