Dry aged beef is delicious! As far as I can tell it is gluten free.....i enjoyed a lovely steak last night with baked potato and butter...salt and pepper, that's it. The dinner was at home, the home (including the grill) is completely gluten free....i feel like i've been glutened...anyone ever had a reaction to dry aged beef???? -

I feel like a crazy person right now. I have scoured and scrubbed my cupboards, I have tossed out anything suspect..even though i know it's gluten free when I bought it...i have done the same thing at my boyfriends house....and yet...I am almost as sick right now as I was when I first went Gluten free over a year ago!!! Things got soooo much better at the...

I'm truly sorry about the miscarriages...having never been pregnant myself...I can't imagine the pain that must be causing you. Since I can't really provide help with the pregnancies, I thought I might be able to offer some info on beans....gluten free or otherwise... I don't eat a lot of meat, so when I went gluten free 13 months ago, I ate a lot of...

ARCHIVED Invited To A Pampered Chef Party
kaki-clam replied to GlutenFreeManna's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I would go!!! First off, I LOVE pampered chef!!! And the parties are sooo much fun..and the product is awesome! Second....people will understand your food allergies and won't make you feel weird for not eating. I would tell the person who invited you to advise the party rep before hand that you are gluten free....by doing so, the party rep won't make a big... -

I knew he didn't want to...but he did..turns out...work... -
It's been a few months since I have posted on anything here...so I thought I might write up an update...even if no one reads it...it will chronicle my successes... If you all remember, my boyfriend moved out shortly after I was diagnosed with Celiac..after about 8 months alone, I met a guy who was kind and understanding of my illness..I got my hopes up...

ARCHIVED Nile Spice Soups....
kaki-clam posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Has anyone had the Nile Spice cup of soups? Specifically the Pea Soup? I bought one the other day...I read the label and it didn't list any gluten or gluten containing products in it...but I got a little crampy after eating it. In all fairness, I had been quite sick the last week prior to eating it and when I bought it, i just really wanted it and honestly... -
I have lost 48 pounds since going gluten free! I am super proud of that! I feel great about that aspect of my life I can't wait til I get to the point where I feel sick more than I feel well, but I am still trying to figure Celiac's out

ARCHIVED Red Lentils From The Bin
kaki-clam replied to precious831's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I needed unsalted cashews for snack mix I was making...4 stores later, I finally found some in the bins like you are talking about. All the bins were labeled with nutritional information and on the label it clearly stated that this product was packaged in a facility that also processes wheat, soy, dairy, etc....I found the manager and asked if he new why... -
ARCHIVED Yet Another Rant About Gluten Free Colleagues Eating Wheat...
kaki-clam replied to Marz's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Two weeks after I told people at work about my Celiac, a supervisor approaches me and tells me she has been diagnosed with an allergy to wheat/gluten, dairy, corn, and soy. I was like OMG, that's terrible. I had few resources to offer her being newly diagnosed myself, but I did tell her about this website and a few cookbooks I had picked up. Now, I don't... -

I do take fish oil, Vitamin D, a B complex vitamin, Kava Kava and 5-HTP My doc's office does offer acupuncture, but I am DEATHLY afraid of needles, so um...no I am so grateful for this forum. My mom is awesome to talk to but she doesn't live this life and you all do. You all are the knot at the end of my rope. -
ARCHIVED It's Official....i Am Crazy!
kaki-clam replied to kaki-clam's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Actually, my doctor talked to me about taking something stronger for a sleep aid...I told him to get out of his office. I am terrified to take something as it did not work for me and drove me almost straight into madness. My mom sides with Doc and also thinks I should let him prescribe me something. Doc said that I wouldn't have to take it every night just... -

I consider myself to be quite the foodie! I have been allergic to shellfish for most my life, so I steer clear of seafood and shellfish, other wise, I will eat most anything except beets. I pride myself on being able to recreate some of my favorite gluten filled dishes with a gluten free alternative..so here is a sample list of what I dine on... tonight... -
I don't have a thyroid problem...I don't have any other food allergies..I just have Celiac..oh, and insomnia, paranoia, depression, anxiety and mania. I don't know if I am up more or down more...I guess technically I'm "up" all the time since I never sleep. I burst into tears for no reason, I cook and clean til all hours. I worry, I stress, I can't do anything...

A friend of mine was prescribed a beta blocker for stress as apparently the stress he felt at work was causing him to have extraordinarily high blood pressure. He happened to mention to me last night that he had stopped taking them because they were causing him severe depression. Not sure if that is a side effect to them or not, just his experience.
