    yesterday: Leftovers- kale and tuna salad vegetable latkes (turns out, straight potato is better whatever the zucchini lovers day) pickled cauliflower? tonight- Leftovers- spicy winter squash and lamb stew kasha pickled cauliflower? frozen peas? OR Corn quinoa pasta with artichokes, peas, and zucchini

    Have you tried cutting the mix with rice flour or starch? It sounds like there is too much gum. Just be sure to increase the baking powder and sugar, maybe. I like 123 Gluten Free's buckwheat pancakes, but mostly just mix rice flour with one flavored flour like corn or buckwheat and a dash of ground flaxseed to sub in a standard recipe.

    It seems sort of like it's been abridged. And while I agree it's a good description of the basic condition, the constant shilling of products (OTC tests, natural products, etc.) reduces my overall rating of the website. Also, I don't know that all the authors statements have been fully backed up in terms of connections to other diseases. Some of my reading...

    Try soup. I second (third?) the awful-ness of brown rice tortillas. I'd rather eat salad. Or soup!! Crackers are generally safer for travel, esp. if packed in separately. For TJ, they have very affordable chocolate. Their Ritter Sport bars are nicely priced. You can also get mochi stuffed with ice cream... (should be gluten-free, but I haven't read...

    Chopped: 1 small onion 1 carrot And sauteed in olive oil with: a pinch of marjoram a piece of bay leaf a dash of thyme one broken up dried shiitake mushroom Covered in water, simmered for 20 minutes. Add: 2 oz Ancient harvest veggie pagoda 2 handfuls diced cabbage Simmer until cooked. Add an egg and frozen green peas to taste and cook...

    I've found that I need a higher protein, higher fat diet when eating gluten-free (partly because dairy is sadly gone and that was a major source of fat/protein in my previous diet). The easy carbs, rice and potatoes, are digested very quickly. Substitute foods often are very high is starches and digested just as fast. Try looking at your protein intake...

    well, i'm about 15 lbs lighter than I was one year ago. Current weight is about what I was as a freshman in high school. gluten-free for 6 months, and only regained a little weight after the losses this spring, but generally feeling healthy and able to do things like run or bike so I'm okay with it. I think. Unless I lose more weight!

    The question is, how well do they clean before putting the next item in the "bin"?

    Did anyone test you for celiac disease? Once you're gluten free, your tests will be normal whether or not you have it. Testing is imperfect, but is at least a start. Symptom-wise, it's entirely possible. You should also be checked out for nutrient deficiencies (vit D, B-12, magnesium, folate, and... there are more). Those deficiencies can contribute...

    Keep stuff in the freezer for the days when you discover you 1) have no food and/or 2) have nothing you want to eat and/or 3) have no time!!! I also keep packaged food (generally indian or thai) in my desk. Not something I should or can eat everyday, but on surprisingly late nights, a life saver. Just make sure it is something you like. Otherwise...

    American kitchens don't typically have scales at all, but the joy of cooking has tables with volumes (cups) and weights (oz or grams) as do many classic basic cookbooks. I like weighing things better, though, so it may be an investment worth making if you're going to cook much. On topic: Yeah, it's been funny with a few friends. I make perfectly delicious...

    Ditto Neroli. Substituting white rice and high carb/sugar gluten-free substitute products for oatmeal and whole wheat bread, not good choices. Switching to kasha, quinoa and sweet potatoes, excellent choices. It is far, far easier to not have risky items in the kitchen. Just gives you a safe zone where you DON'T have to think about it. Which is a wonderful...

    Salmon patty (one can salmon, chopped, bones mashed, mixed with 1 egg, 1 jar marinated artichokes chopped, couple of spoons of corn flour, and normally with mustard but I forgot it) Steamed cabbage Sweet potatoes with olive oil and lemon juice

    Oats, in the US, are likely very very contaminated unless they are labeled gluten free. Recommendations vary, but right now, they typically say avoid oats for 6 months or until stable (no symptoms, normal bloodwork). Then add them in, because a small proportion of celiacs do not tolerate them. Avoid Rice Dream, and look for fake milks labeled gluten...

    There is also hard cider! Look for a good dry one, generally exported or from a smaller domestic orchard. Just, when you start drinking again, keep an eye on how it makes you feel, signs of dependency, etc. The morning beer isn't the only sign pointing toward AA. I'd consider avoiding EtOH altogether for another few months, just because it can promote...

    I'd suggest getting a rice cooker if you're at all likely to eat rice often. Sooo much easier in terms of thought level and also cleaning. I just bought one a few weeks ago and use it two or three times a week. A couple of varieties of rice help mix it up. I wish I had bought it back in June. If you're more likely to do more potatoes and corn, maybe...

    Basically, an aunt who was really good about cleaning up after the rolls and stuffing and they did the pies before I arrived. I made the vegetables, and required that I have my own "clean" butter for everything I ate. My dinner: Roasted turkey (no stuffing, dressing baked separately for others) Steamed brussels sprouts Roasted cauliflower Mashed...

    P.S. If you have a financial leeway/dr recommendation to take even just 3 or 4 weeks off, do it. I was between jobs and having that extra time was incredibly helpful. You're going to be spending a lot more time thinking about food in that first month, maybe even first three months. And honestly, you're sick, and it takes time to recover.

    Okay- Your questions: plain ground beef should be okay. anything with seasonings like sausage is iffy and needs attention. yeast should be fine. I limit food that are made in shared facilities/on shared equipment, but haven't eliminated them entirely. The idea is that people have a set point of exposure that they can bear before symptoms/immune...

    Sweet potatoes, squash, white fish like cod, cooked pears, cooked carrots, and time. Millet is another option instead of rice. I'd still give some gluten for the next week. Kids heal faster, and one week of misery will probably be worth it if it makes dealing with institutions easier for her in the future, as awful as it is. Tell her it's her to hang...

    Yeah, I've only read one article about IgG testing that seemed at all like it was clinically valid. In that case, people diagnosed with "IBS" showed improvement when they avoided their "3" foods. I, btw, am doing better off dairy and peanuts. Weight is stable and as long as I really do avoid them, stomachaches are GONE. Avoidance is not perfect as...
  22. sb2178
    Yeah, not quite enough options. -negative biopsy -mixed bloodwork results -genetics pending -positive response to diet and awful, horrible response to a two meal gluten challenge Medial record states non-celiac gluten sensitivity. If the genetics come back positive, I'm going to start calling it celiac, as in latent or imperfect biopsy.
  23. sb2178
    If you are fine eating nuts/seeds, tofu, eggs and beans, you do not need to add in meat. I found, after having to cut out dairy and peanut butter, that I really needed to add back in meat/fish as a regular part of my diet. (Wasn't veg, just brought up that way and rarely cooked meat at home.) Just the beans and lentils weren't quite cutting it in terms...
  24. sb2178
    For future reference, I've split* cornish hens and baked those babies in less than an hour on a bed of diced veg. Quick run under the broiler yields golden birds cook through. Stuffing could go in separately, and then your total baking is pretty quick. *Cut out backbone and smash flat.

    $40-$60/week if consuming meat (snazzy local stuff it is). $35 if not. If I'm gardening, I can knock it down to $30. Typically make 19 or 20 of 21 meals, and all snacks except for the occasional stray apple from the cafeteria. Splurges: fake pasta, cocoa powder, larabars, chocolate, crackers now and then, occasional box of cookies or mix.
