    Making your own is definitely more economical! Paying $41 for 25 pounds of gluten free oats and making your own granola will save you a ton over store bought gluten-free granola and lets you control the ingredients as well. Grinding flour is an awesome way to save money too. For example, my favorite bread is millet bread. Millet flour is expensive...

    Is the food there generally considered okay, as long as there are no gluten ingredients? Or is CC much of an issue? Are the items there pretty much from the same suppliers as the ethnic items that you find in your supermarket? What things do you get there, if any?

    I have been wanting to try this grain for a long time and finally I found it in my health food store! Does anybody have any recipes or suggestions? I'm excited to try out something new! It's also very nutritious, it has like 60% of RDA for iron in one serving. Open Original Shared Link

    If your bloodwork is positive, you can be fairly confident that you have celiac. Bloodwork is more accurate than a biopsy. A negative biopsy often means that they missed the damage.

    I've found that my anxiety and OCD symptoms have improved greatly on a strict gluten free diet. (avoiding sources of cross contamination) I hope that it works for you as well!

    That restaurant sounds amazing! That is awesome that they have a separate kitchen for gluten free stuff only!

    ^That, exactly. The media has somehow painted a picture that everything is black and white, either you have celiac or gluten free is a fad diet and you can go eat pizza and bagels without fear. Don't be afraid to go gluten-free, even if you don't have celiac! You mentioned gluten ataxia. Have you had a history of neurological issues with gluten or...

    The fad diet comments are pretty ridiculous for someone who's gluten-free for medical reasons, especially if they've been on a gluten-free diet long term. I've been gluten-free for 4 1/2 years. I'm pretty sure that if it was a fad, I would've quit by now.

    Yes, I eat hard boiled eggs from the breakfast buffet. I rinse them off before eating, just to be sure.

    That was weird that the article was titled like it was about a new blood test and then the blood test wasn't even described at all.

    We had tofu stir fry with rice noodles for supper. For sauces, we had a couple of San-J selections (Thai peanut and Mongolian Beef Sauces) and Tree of Life wheat free tamari sauce. I pretty much used whatever seasonal vegetables that I had on hand. It's a great way to use up summer squash and zucchini.

    Yes, it is more related to your health than the biopsy results. Not overdoing the gluten will also give you the best chance of finishing the gluten challenge and not having to quit early due to severe reactions.

    Haystacks for lunch. (build your own plate taco salad) Beans, spanish rice, salsa, tomatoes, greens, homemade vegan yellow sauce (resembles nacho cheese in appearance), and chips.

    I wouldn't worry about what other people think. I can never confirm a diagnosis of anything due to stroke risk from headaches (challenging gluten is way too dangerous for me), and I just eat 100% gluten free and people can think what they may. They don't have to live in my life or pay the hospital bills if I go to the hospital. I agree that the tests...

    1 or 2 servings of something with gluten as a predominant ingredient should be plenty. Take care not to overdo the gluten.

    Oh okay, I actually did know what SAD meant. That is kind of neat that your little ones have the same birthday. My kid #3 was actually due on #2's 3rd birthday, but she was a week late, so his birthday is February 27 and hers is March 5th.

    I ended up buying a bulk box of raisin bran at Sam's Club, so looks like we're going to do breakfast cereal for our gluten source.

    Skillet lasagna, salad, and watermelon tonight. I'm really loving the skillet lasagna concept. I made it in my wok.

    What they tell you to do post DX is to put your cast iron pans in the oven on the self cleaning cycle. The self clean cycle will get up to 900 degrees and will burn off all the gluten on your pan. Then you reseason it and it's safe for use. I'm wondering if since only a contaminated spatula was used on my cast iron pan (instead of actually cooking something...

    Oh and tofu too. And seeds like pumpkin seeds, etc.
  22. BlessedMommy
    Quinoa, beans, lentils, nuts, eggs, peanut butter, almond butter, etc.

    I don't eat meat but when I find dried beans for 50 cents a pound, I do like to stock up on them and put them in the freezer.

    My 7 year old daughter wanted to make breakfast for me as a surprise--so she ran out to the kitchen, got a little confused, and ended up grabbing a spatula that had been previously used for gluten food and not washed yet and made potatoes with it in my dedicated gluten free cast iron pan. (I ended up giving the potatoes to everybody else and eating the other...

    I have 3 kids too and it's crazy how much food 5 people can eat! I decided that I'm going to try to focus on lower cost dishes like making skillet lasagna instead of regular lasagna, making more Mexican and Asian food, etc. We made a trip to Sam's Club and found some good deals, like a 5 lb bag of organic carrots for around $3 and a 20 lb bag of white...
