    Yes, I do. I keep Mongolian sauce, orange sauce, szechuan sauce, terikyaki sauce, and thai peanut sauce on hand. (as well as San J gluten free soy sauce too) I borrowed the idea from when we went out to BD's Mongolian grill. I figured that people will have a better chance of enjoying their stir fry if they can pick their own sauces. Last night, we had...

    ^Those were my thoughts as well. If you live in Ontario, it may be worth your while to cross the border over to Michigan, New York, Wisconsin, or Minnesota. (depending on whichever one of those is closest to the part of Ontario you live in)

    Can you have nuts? I'm a gluten free, dairy free vegetarian myself. I find my diet to be relatively easy, however I don't have the additional intolerances that were mentioned.

    That is awful! OP, I guess that your best shot is simply be firm with the doctor and insist that it is worth it for you to order out of pocket. And if that doesn't work, shop around for a doctor who will help you.
  5. BlessedMommy
    That is very frustrating! Does Ontario have the option of private "direct to consumer" labs where you can order yourself and pay OOP without permission from your doctor? I know that some folks in the states have had good luck with that option if their doctor or insurance company refused to cooperate.

    A new thread sounds good! I would like to hear if anyone has tried Canyon Bakehouse rye style bread and what they think of it.

    NCGI/not categorized gluten-free people, let's talk about ambiguity and the issues that stem from it! What are you doing to help yourself feel comfortable with the need to advocate for yourself, despite your lack of definite celiac DX? I had a great talk with my MIL today. I explained to her that due to the severity of my response to the gluten trial...

    Sounds like a great plan! I'm glad that you are relaxing a little bit. You got this, you can do it!

    Congratulations on getting an answer finally! I'm sorry that your insurance company was so ridiculous about it. I have no doubt that that is one reason for the low diagnosis rates of celiac. Here's a guide that may be helpful for you in cleaning out your kitchen. Open Original Shared Link

    I don't think that I've ever consumed a full dose of gluten accidentally since I went gluten-free in 2010. I have noticed what I considered to be a changing reaction recently. Usually my sign of accidental gluten is skin related, flaming face, or start of rash on my neck. However, recently when I kissed my husband when he hadn't brushed his teeth after eating...

    Tofu stir fry with brown rice tonight. We have a ton of different sauces on hand, so I cook it plain and then everyone seasons their own.

    Chances are very high that it was a false negative if you were gluten light during testing. Hang in there, maybe the endoscopy will give you some more answers.

    You could make your own. We bought a tortilla press awhile back and have made lots of homemade ones and it's super easy!

    I remember finding KIND bars in a gas station! Yum!
  15. BlessedMommy
    What kind of tortillas do you use for wraps? I'm craving a good veggie wrap.

    Celiacs can and do still eat at restaurants, though most choose not to go too often, to limit the risk. I'm eat out on occasion. I don't eat at places like Taco Bell, though. I try to be selective as to where I go. I prefer to go to places that have a better gluten free reputation and an established protocol for handling things. Some of my favorites...

    I'm having a craving for more stir fry. We've been having a lot of stir fry since we bought a wok. Yum! Loving the San-J gluten free stir fry sauces....we have orange, mongolian, thai peanut, teriyaki, and szechuan styles in the fridge.

    I would suggest going back to eating a regular gluten containing diet now so that you can get the bloodwork done. I am one who can never do a gluten challenge, due to the severity of my symptoms and I really wish that I would've gotten properly tested before cutting gluten to begin with. It's very possible to eat a 100% gluten free diet without a...

    Great thread! I'm a gluten-free vegetarian myself. Some of the products that I like are: Beyond Meat Chicken Free Strips Open Original Shared Link Gardein Ground "Beef" Crumbles Open Original Shared Link Butler Soy Curls Open Original Shared Link

    I started eating gluten free over 4 years ago, a couple of months before I turned 28. Though I've had a number of health issues in the past, overall I feel fine now. Actually I rarely go to doctors, period. No anemia, osteoperosis, diabetes, lupus, arthritis, etc. that I know of. I also don't have violent symptoms if I accidentally get some gluten. Maybe...

    I agree with us needing natural sugars! I joined a Candida support board and I didn't feel like I fit in there, because the folks there tended to be militant about cutting even natural sugars like fruit or stuff like potatoes. They considered stuff like eating fruit to be "playing with fire."
  22. BlessedMommy
    Yes, we love fresh fruit and typically consume at least the recommended 2-4 servings, if not more. We've eaten a lot of fresh berries and melons lately. Yum!
  23. BlessedMommy
    I found that once I cut out sugar, my cravings went way down. Now, lots of sugary things seem too sweet to me. I do use some sweeteners in moderation now and it's fairly easy to stop when I need to. I think that going without sugar for a period of time reprogrammed my taste buds.
  24. BlessedMommy
    I really don't get why some doctors put up such a fuss about testing. I'm sorry that you're having difficulty! If you can't convince your doctor to order it, it's possible to order the test yourself and pay out of pocket if you have to, but it's probably best to convince your doctor to order it. (especially if you have insurance)

    I use the American Heart Association recommendations as my baseline. I try to keep my daily intake of all added sugars (honey, maple syrup, etc. count as added sugar) to around their recommendation--which works out to about 6-9 tsp per day. It's easy to get over that amount without thinking about it, so as a rule of thumb I try to avoid most things with sweeteners...
