ARCHIVED Nuts From Bin At Whole Foods
precious831 replied to precious831's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
LOL yup I call WF Whole Paycheck too...sheesh. Good news is that Trader Joe's is coming and it's going to be right in front of Whole Foods! How funny is that? I actually have a big freezer. I caved in and bought one last yr. It's filled with meats. DD is sensitive to a lot of meats so I stock up on game meats and meats for us too. I also bake stuff... -
ARCHIVED Nuts From Bin At Whole Foods
precious831 replied to precious831's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
That's a great idea, I'll call and talk to the manager about that. I have to be really careful because I'm not just gluten-free, I can't tolerate any grains. I was aware of the bins being used for different things. I did ask about that and the person that I spoke to said that if they were going to put something different in it, they wash the bins first... -
ARCHIVED Help With Grain Free Baking
precious831 replied to SGWhiskers's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I'm paleo and also have celiac disease. You can use nut flours. Peanut is not a nut, it's a legume so I believe it's not paleo-approved(I'll have to check again). You can use almond, pecan, hazelnuts, chestnuts, any nut. I usually buy them raw, soak and dehydrate. To make it easy for you, you might just get almond flour. Also sugar is not paleo approved... -

Sorry, garbanzo and tapioca flours are not paleo-approved. -
ARCHIVED Are You A Celiac Who Reacts To gluten-free Oats? Please Help!
precious831 replied to T.H.'s topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I can't tolerate any grains at all so yes I do react to gluten-free oats. -
Normally I won't consider buying nuts from bins even at Whole Foods. They have some that are packaged but it's not better because it says "manufactured on the same equipment as wheat, milk, etc." Then I thought well I wash the nuts anyway and soak them, then dehydrate them. What do you think? Should I take a chance because I wash the nuts, soak for 1...

Has he been tested for food allergies? About the stomach aches, any other symptoms? Diarrhea maybe? Backpain? -
ARCHIVED I've Been Gluten-Free For A Year, But Still Have Many "issues"
precious831 replied to Cinnamongirl's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
If I try going grain free, how long would it take to see a result? I would be willing to try it for a few weeks if that was long enough to tell. Grain free sounds pretty difficult - I'm just finally getting the hang of cooking with gluten free flours! -
ARCHIVED Dh Is Ill And His Family Is Blaming My Gluten-Free Diet
precious831 replied to msmini14's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I'm sorry you're going through this. My sis and some family members think I made this whole thing up and don't really believe me and act like I am such an inconvenience to them and definitely a real party pooper! So feel free to rant away! I don't have an article in mind but I can tell you that he's not sick from being gluten-free, that is just absurd... -
ARCHIVED I've Been Gluten-Free For A Year, But Still Have Many "issues"
precious831 replied to Cinnamongirl's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I was gluten-free/DF for a year and also was not improving much so after a lot of talk with the GI and my own personal research, I decided to avoid all grains all together. The difference was like night and day for me. Plus I'm no longer suffering from high blood pressure, not borderline diabetic anymore as well. I know this is drastic but if all else fails... -
ARCHIVED At What Age Was Your Child/children Diagnosed Celiac?
precious831 replied to salexander421's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
My daughter was diagnosed at 2 yrs old. She was negative on the celiac panel but was diagnosed through elimination diet. She had the typical celiac symptoms. The doctor and us were not willing for her to undergo the biopsy especially after he said it might be missed anyway. So we're happy the way it was handled. After about 1 yr on the gluten-free... -
ARCHIVED Natural Disasters - Does Anyone Else Worry?
precious831 replied to ElseB's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I think it's normal to worry. I do think of it. 2 years ago we got caught in a similar catastrophe. We had a severe ice storm that left much of the state in the dark. We had no water, heat, no electricity for a month. Thank God I was able to find a seedy hotel and we lived there for 3 weeks. My baby was only 15 months old, it was hard, really hard. We... -
ARCHIVED Vanillqa Almond Milk!
precious831 replied to Kimbalou's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I like the Pacific brand but most of the time I just make my own almond milk. It's really not that hard. -
ARCHIVED How Are The Grain-Free Folks Doing?
precious831 replied to precious831's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I saw that and wanted to make it too. There's so much I want to make. I'm threading on bison for my DD, I thought she may be reacting to it a while back. I fed her some grass-fed organic bison. I'll try it again soon. I think I'll make that recipe with the mashed potatoes on top. I miss mashed potatoes, it's been a while since I had some. Oh yes... -

precious831 replied to precious831's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I do that, all my nut flours are in the freezer. But because I haven't opened this flax, it slipped my mind and it sat in the pantry for a few months. I guess I'll open it and see how it smells. lol -
ARCHIVED How Are The Grain-Free Folks Doing?
precious831 replied to precious831's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Oh cool, yeah I don't know how to tell if it's rancid. The oil smelled funky gross. I'll try the golden flax seeds next time. I have a whole bag of regular flax here and it's expired a few months ago(Oct) I had no idea. Do you think it's still ok to use? The bag's not been opened. -

I'm gonna get some flax seed and try the recipes you gave me. I hope the taste is not overwhelming(flax) because I hate the taste of flax oil. Thanks and goodluck, keep me posted! -

precious831 replied to precious831's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Hi, flax is a seed so you're ok, unless of course if you're reacting to it. You could also try chia seed. Those are yummy in baked goods, pricey but worth it. -
I'm soy intolerant(among other things) and I avoid soy lecithin when I can.

ARCHIVED How Are The Grain-Free Folks Doing?

I was wondering how you're doing! How are you? Thanks for these links, I actually follow Marks Apple, I love his website . All the recipes are pretty easy and the comments are hilarious. Do you have any other flax recipes? How was the texture of that one you posted? Thanks. -
ARCHIVED How Are The Grain-Free Folks Doing?
precious831 replied to precious831's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
So glad to hear you're doing good! What fats are you using? I use coconut oil and avocado oil. My skin has improved a lot too, especially on my face. I attribute it to the nuts I eat. I also used to have rashes that had blisters on them and were extremely itchy, those have been gone. Can we all share recipes please? I have a food blog but not sure... -
ARCHIVED How Are The Grain-Free Folks Doing?
precious831 replied to precious831's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
You'll probably feel a whole lot better if you give up the rice completely, trust me it makes a huge difference, well at least for those of us who were pretty much hopeless I guess. Just give it a try, you may never go back to rice ever. I'm not a legume fan so I don't eat it much, if I do, they are soaked for 12 hrs and then rinsed very well. -
ARCHIVED Gluten Free Specific Food
precious831 replied to GFreeMO's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Hi! I started on SCD but now I am just mostly on a paleo diet(primal). I've been grain-free since this past summer and I've noticed huge improvements, just gluten-free wasn't enough for me. I wasn't really getting much better til I went off grains and sugar. I still eat tubers though, so that's why I don't consider myself SCD. I use nut flours and coconut...
