    ARCHIVED Bah Humbug!

    Agee replied to cgilsing's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    We had Christmas day at my mom's house and since she and my stepdad are vegetarian it is always a challenge for us to think of menus to share. Bless her heart, she does her best. I brought dessert, she made a nice tofu-nut-rice loaf (tasted much better than it sounded) and she used soy milk and "fake butter" (as she calls it - Smartblend to the rest of the...

    Hey ya'll - I have been gluten-free since last November, dairy-free since last December (except accidental exposure, of course). I quit eating dairy because although I felt better eating gluten-free, I did not feel 100% - and when I quit the cow milk products I started on the real road to recovery. I am self-diagnosed, but my doctor is 100% behind me. When...

    My son is from Voronezh and was adopted at 15 mos. so he doesn't know how to make pelmini! He knows how to make a mess, however. I have often thought that when he gets older (he's 3 right now) we might adopt an older child (younger than him, but older than 3). I have two boys and I'd really love a girl, but I am done with babies! I also thought one of...

    Thanks for the responses. I have some buckwheat that I used for kasha and it didn't seem to bother me, although I also didn't like it very much! I am going to try the millet. Someone else suggested using cream of rice because some recipes call for cream of wheat, but I get the impression that kutya is supposed to be more of a whole-grain type thing as opposed...

    Hey there - I am going to make kutya as one of the dishes at my annual Christmas eve party. Kutya is a traditional Russian Christmas eve dish that I believe is like a hot cereal. The main ingredient is wheat berries - you're supposed to cook them three hours then add nuts and fruit and poppy seeds and honey. I have never had it, but since I have a son adopted...

    Whoa, Mrs Files you are posting all over the place about this! Obviously, you are in a panic! I don't blame you. While I am new to eating gluten-free I am in no way new to the battle of the bulge, but I can tell you some things I've observed. First, gluten-free baked goods have tons more calories and a lot less fiber than whole wheat bread or other baked...

    ARCHIVED Infertility

    Agee replied to Roxyk's topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    I completely understand the need to try to conceive, but I wanted to share the fabulous happy success story of adopting our son, Jamie, last September. I had had 5 miscarriages in 20 months, had been on various fertility drugs, and my husband and I were stressed and sad - but the day we made the decision to adopt to grow our family all of that melted away...

    I don't get why he wants you to go back to eating gluten. If you feel better not eating it then what's the point? Does he want to see if your symptoms return? It's not like gluten-containing foods have nutrients that you can't get other ways. This is one reason why I'm really reluctant to go to a doctor to get a "real" diagnosis - first, I will have to...

    In regards to being overweight - I actually am pretty active (I run 15-20 mi./week), so lethargy caused by lack of energy isn't really a problem. Or maybe I should say that before going gluten-free I was able to keep my energy up by snacking all day long and drinking coffee continuously - well, at least I used to be able to keep my energy up. The 2-3 months...

    Thanks for the replies, everyone. Frustrated was definitely the word to describe me when I posted the other day. I'm glad you all have been so welcoming - I've been talking about this a little to my friends but I'm really self-concious about being a one-subject kind of person around them. So it helps to have people to talk to who are in the same boat. On...

    Hey there - After months of hideous stomach cramping and constant diarrhea (actually, for the past 7-8 years I've had constant diarrhea but this was worse than before) I finally figured out that I have a sensitivity to wheat. I don't know exactly what it is because I haven't seen a doctor but I responded immediately to going gluten-free and every time I...
