    My point exactly. I generally try to be polite and avoid stirring up drama, but when my vegan friends preach about the evils of eggs, I feel very tempted to say, "Try cooking gluten free AND vegan for 6 months and then get back to me on that." I know that being gluten free and vegan is possible, but it's certainly not anything that I feel like taking...
  2. BlessedMommy
    No, I'm not vegan. Just a vegetarian who doesn't tolerate dairy well. I love eggs and have resisted any effort from my vegan friends to convince me to give them up.
  3. BlessedMommy
    Actually I eat eggs, lots of them. So egg would be a perfectly good option.

    Well, I tried it with sweet potatoes and they fell apart again! They just don't hold together for me like when I use Russet potatoes. I tossed grated sweet potatoes with melted earth balance butter and salt. Hmmm.....Maybe time to google to see what I did wrong.

    SMRI, things are confusing, very confusing. I got to the point where I probably annoyed people with the amount of threads that I posted here asking questions on every minute detail, because I felt that my instincts/common sense had failed me before and I didn't want to make any further mistakes. Celiac has a steep learning curve. I know what you mean...

    No prob...have to spread the love around! I used to be the one who would eat things that other people had made as long as they hadn't used any gluten ingredients and hadn't done any obvious CC like using CC'ed peanut butter in it or something. This board has taught me that that's very risky business at best and it's best to just give people a polite...

    I tried them and I really like them! They are much cheaper than the little packets of peanut butter and much easier to work with because you can just dip your apple or celery directly in and avoid the mess of squeezing a packet. Very nice and convenient!
  8. BlessedMommy
    Can you not tolerate vegetables, eggs, nuts, beans, and gluten free grains like rice or quinoa? Why just meat and fruit?
  9. BlessedMommy
    I'm guessing that the wording of the policy is mainly trying to prevent parents from being items that are at high risk for nut contamination, like granola bars and such. I could be wrong though.
  10. BlessedMommy
    Awesome GottaSki! I might have to try it again myself to see if I can make it work with sweet potatoes.

    If the school also has a shared kitchen with peanut and nut products, then I would take this rule to mean that the rule for dedicated facilities doesn't include one's home. I'm all for keeping kids safe, but it wouldn't be realistic to expect every family in the school to run a nut free house.
  12. BlessedMommy
    The mistakes that I made were mainly things like using scratched non-stick pans for regular food and then cleaning them and using them on gluten free food. Same with cast iron. I also didn't really know much about wooden spoons and I don't know that my wooden spoons were necessarily dedicated to gluten free food. I already knew stuff like not double dipping...

    That would be really something if going gluten free caused adults to all of sudden start growing again!

    I shred up russet potatoes and toss them with olive oil and salt and them cook until brown and crispy in my waffle iron.
  15. BlessedMommy
    I've tried them with sweet potatoes and somehow they don't come out the same. But russet potatoes work well!
  16. BlessedMommy
    That is so absurd. It sounds like a meal for the fad dieters.
  17. BlessedMommy
    Mmmm....waffle iron hash browns for breakfast. The kids love them, I love them, I only wish that I had more potatoes on hand to shred.....
  18. BlessedMommy
    LOL!!

    I actually went gluten free in 2010, but I made a lot of newbie mistakes, due to lack of information and support. That's why I'm so happy to have this forum now, they've taught me how to be strict in my diet and given me the courage to advocate for myself.
  20. BlessedMommy
    Thanks to all of your support, I feel like I've made such strides and improvement! Thank you for the support and information. In the past 7 months, I've corrected my CC mistakes in my kitchen, had symptoms resolve that I thought for sure I was stuck with for life, successfully started my kids on a gluten challenge (since July), and learned to advocate...
  21. BlessedMommy
    Thank you. I don't think that I would have gone through with challenging my kids without the support from this forum. The help and encouragement really means a lot to me!
  22. BlessedMommy
    Have you tried doing antibody testing anyway to see what your levels are? There is one member here who got a positive result on a blood test after 3 years gluten free! As far as the gluten challenge, keep in mind that you have to eat a lot of gluten to complete a gluten challenge. (1-2 slices of bread per day for 8-12 weeks) If your symptoms are severe...

    My daughter does not have any other diagnosed AI diseases.
  24. BlessedMommy
    What I plan to do though is ask the doctor to order the bloodwork now but let me go get it at our convenience, after we've done a full 12 weeks of gluten trial. I want the best chance of an accurate result.
  25. BlessedMommy
    My daughter is almost 2 months into her gluten trial and her vitiligo seems to be getting somewhat worse. My appointment with the doctor is on Wednesday. I plan to ask her to test for celiac and also to check for iron and B-12. Is that a good start?
