    Oh my I think you are describing me. I used to HATE going to crowded places because I would get super irritated and upset and I was a horror to deal with (my fiance would not go grocery shopping with me because I could not take crying babies, slow walkers, etc.) And my anxiety is greatly reduced. I don't wake up in a panic anymore. I remember waking up...

    I actually cook the food (either in the oven or in the slow cooker). I usually cook a piece of fish, a few chicken breasts, and some cheaper steaks. Then I measure them out (she gets 2 oz of meat per meal to stay at her weight) and put them in ziplock baggies and freeze them. Then, I defrost two or three at a time in the refrigerator. It works really well...

    Seconded. And well put. The tests just aren't accurate enough for me to believe that some people are celiac yet others, who have the same symptoms (or similar symptoms) are intolerant of gluten. I just can't get behind that notion, ya know?

    I started home cooking for my dog for health reasons (too many pet food recalls for me) - she gets dried sweet potato "chips" from my dehydrator as training treats, raw meaty bones, and then I make big batches of meat that is on sale, and add a little pumpkin, some rice, and some fruits/veggies. If you keep it 60% meat, 20% fruits/veggies, and 20% grain you...

    I don't know if they are available everywhere or not, but I am a big fan of El Milagro tortilla chips and their tostadas. My sister lives really close to their storefront in Chicago and I have gone in and asked - their products are all safe.

    I finally broke down and bought a bread machine today (mainly because Woot has one with a gluten-free setting on sale today). My question is does anyone know of a good, somewhat low calorie bread recipe for a machine? I was interested in Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Multigrain, until I saw it was almost 200 cals/slice! That is just a bit too high for me...

    So I tried the Chebe cinnamon mix a few months ago and was not very impressed - the taste was there, but they were crunchy (I am not a fan of crunchy cookies). So last night, I was craving sweets (shocker there) but I didn't feel like making the brownies I had. Or the peanut butter cookies. I saw that I had 2 bags of Chebe mix from a basket I won back in...

    Whoever posted about ants on a log... oh I love those... so good. Since there is so much in season, my favorite snack is fruit and veggies. You really can't beat watermelon on a triple digit day. bananas with PB (here I go with peanut butter again...) They are not lo cal per say, but I love rice krispie treats. I make mine with either chex or...

    Well, it is inherently wheat free because it is gluten free. It is also soy free and nut free, NOT dairy free.

    Has anyone had King Arthur brand Gluten Free Brownies? For Christmas, my aunt bought me King Arthur brownies, bread, and pizza crust. Well, I finally made the brownies last night. I cannot recommend them enough - they are so good - they don't have that gluten free "grainy" texture that a lot of mixes can have. I like them a lot more than the Betty Crocker...

    I have only seen it at one store (Rockford Walmart for $3.29 I think). I also made biscuits - they turned out GREAT. Could not even tell they were gluten free.

    I followed the recipe on the box of flour - it was 1/2 c of flour and 3/4 c water mixed together & then dropped in the liquid (I had cooked my chicken in the slow cooker and just ladled out some of the liquid into a saucepan because I wasn't sure how it was going to work - in retrospect, I could have just put the dough balls directly into the slow cooker...
  13. summerteeth
    Yum that sounds really good... will definitely have to try it. I ended up using some of the flour today because I made chicken in my slow cooker and thought that chicken & dumplings sounded good. This flour is awesome! I am going to have to go back and buy more of it because the dumplings have no discernible "gluten free flour" taste that I seem...

    I found it at the Rockford, IL. Walmart.
  15. summerteeth
    No I haven't... it is still sitting in my pantry. What is your recipe for African peanut soup?

    I asked my gyno at my last yearly, and he said that caffeine is a very common culprit. Sure enough, I lessened caffeine, no more breast pain.

    I found the elusive gluten-free Bisquick (holy crap I get biscuits and gravy this weekend!!) If anyone is in North central IL/southern Wisconsin, I found it at the West Riverside Walmart. Last time I went there they only had gluten-free Betty Crocker white cake mixed in their baking section. Now they have a whole gluten-free shelf, including: Mrs. Leeper...

    re: Where to buy... The closest Whole Foods to me is in Chicago, 70 miles away. I bought mine at Woodman's, but had to request it & now they stock it permanently. They are very open to ordering food at Woodman's if you live near one (Wisconsin & Northern IL only, I think?)

    Were they Newman's Own "Newman-os"? Before I understood reading labels, I bought these (and they did say "WHEAT FREE/DAIRY FREE" on the package) I brought them on a road trip to Florida and ate them before we even got on the highway... needless to say, worst vacation ever.

    Ugh those Glutino bagels are like hockey pucks. I ate ONE. The rest went into the compost pile... But I have about six loaves of Udi's bread in my freezer - SO GOOD. I get to have cream cheese and olive sandwiches again!

    ARCHIVED Walk-In Clinic Doctor

    summerteeth replied to Coinkey's topic in Doctors

    My doctor diagnosed me based on dietary response, medical history, and family history (history of bowel cancers). From what I gather, more and more doctors are doing this.

    Places I go regularly: Kroger/Hilander (northern IL)- will email a list, Piggly Wiggly (Wisconsin)- has a list on their site, Schnucks/Logli (Illinois & Missouri)- marks their gluten-free products on the shelves, Jewel Osco (Chicago, northern IL 'burbs)- has a gluten-free section, Woodmans (IL & WI)- has a WHOLE aisle, Valli Produce (northern IL...

    I also say eating out at restaurants or social situations. Also, similarly, going on road trips or even day trips. I have to put so much effort into planning (and I usually end up bringing way too much food).

    My answer wasn't exactly a black-or-white one... there is definitely a grey area for me. Sometimes it can take a few days. Other times, it is the following day. A reaction for me is never really immediate, which makes it hard for me to pinpoint exactly when. Plus, one of my major symptoms is C, so it can take a few days to realize I have been glutened...

    I am all about bargains. I coupon clip, but most of those items I can't have. So I buy all of his foods with coupons - he is so not picky. I figure if we save $20/week on his groceries that is pretty good. Kroger/Hilander always has a "bargain bin" - I found Pamela's cookies in there for $.99 and Snikiddy snacks for $1.29. Sam's Club has Crunchmaster...
