    And I can't stand purslane. So that's not an option.

    Yes-- in combination with borage oil (which I haven't found yet), flax seeds are supposed to roughly replicate fish oil (reluctant to take). He did say to not buy the pre-ground, probably because of the increased rate of rancidity. Will definitely try the pancake recipe! Looks good, although I'll probably try throwing in some minced apple.

    Yeah, I was having crazy fatigue and soreness. To the point where I ended up not running for a couple of months (but there were also major digestive issues, dizziness, and weight loss nonsense added to the list). I'm improving, but still getting sorer than I should be going back into it. (Did keep up some basic biking to maintain some CV fitness.) For...

    Hi all- I'm probably no longer a "young adult" but am probably going to be moving back into a roommate situation (shared house or apartment) at some point late summer or early fall. Does anyone have any suggestions for how to do an effective roommate search and approach the whole gluten free issue? How do you set up a kitchen situation that works and...

    Hello all- Anybody have good suggestions for how to a) crack or grind flaxseeds efficiently? how to make them edible? I don't like yogurt at all. Already adding to salads, but I generally prefer cooked food, so I only eat them occasionally after the first harvest of lettuce is done. Hot cereal would work in the winter, but not when it's 80 degrees...

    And be sure you look at spices and additives in your diary... I don't know what they use for color in the yellow vitamin water, but some pickles do have added coloring agents. I did a mild version of that a few weeks ago after I accidentally ate gluten-- more of a classic food allergy reaction. We also thought it could have been something environmental...

    Just did a short elimination diet as part of diagnosis. It was annoying but very helpful. Basically, established a basic diet and worked on adding things back in every three days or so. Here's a rough outline of what I did. * should possibly not be in your base, but I knew these wouldn't be a problem for me. First week: rice, millet, lamb, fish...

    Oh good. i like miso a lot, and would have missed it. thanks all for the info!
  9. sb2178
    Leftovers from dinner, often. Today was millet porrige (sp?) with carrots, summer squash & egg. Applesauce, cottage cheese, and nuts. Onigiri (rice balls) or a risotto sort of thing (okayu in Japanese) I second SOUP! Harira (Arabic= lots of available spellings), sweet potato (curried with coconut milk is excellent), chicken, chowder, etc ...

    So, kids are different a bit different... their immune systems are immature. Tests are not as reliable for them because of that. Maybe there is someone else who has more knowledge in that area? For adults, the person would probably be diagnosed with IgA deficiency (the total IgA numbers I've seen are usually higher than that), which means the Gliadin...

    or pancreatitis. Definitely get health care attention.

    Recently diagnosed with non-celiac gluten sensitivity based on a motley assortment of test results and response to diet (see signature). Including the assorted helpful comments of "Well, it can be patchy so you may have damage further down your intestines or we just missed it" and "You may be able to eat small amounts of gluten later in life." Argggg....

    Well, I guess that was a waste of a graduate degree... The mediterranean diet with lots of produce, mono-unsat fats, and small amounts of animal protein (much like the Okinawa diet) really is one of the best diet profiles in the world. ;-) Honestly, I cannot endorse eating the vast majority of the animal products grown in the US. I don't recommend them...

    Quincy- One of the best ways to raise HDL is through exercise. I agree that a good shot of fat is important for breakfast, but go for avocado, fish, olive oil, or canola oil over animal fats most of the time. Other possible breakfasts: -salad (homemade olive oil dressing) with nuts and plenty of fruit OR hardboiled egg and other chopped veg -beans...
  15. sb2178
    Japanese rice balls. you can make all sorts of variations. google "onigiri". if you can eat eggs, make mini crustless quiches in muffin tins and freeze to have on hand. bean salads. beans + homemade dressing + random chopped up veg For portable, I like the little pineapple cups (pricey, but sometimes $$ if worth it for the convinience).

    You might also check the possible side effects of your BC. Sometimes they can cause enough of a hormonal shift that it upsets your GI tract too...

    I'd take plenty of back up food though. Just in case someone screws up and you get served the wrong things or even just something you don't quite trust. I've been stuck on trains a lot, and always plan for at least 12 extra hours and broken hear or AC. (I love trains though, which is why I persist...) Maybe: - jar of peanut butter or assorted nuts...

    pears simmered with bay leaf, allspice, and black pepper pears simmered with lemon, cinnamon, and fresh ginger pears and cranberries with lemon, ginger, and brown sugar pears simmered with rosemary pears (or peaches?) roasted with balsamic vinegar (see theme: cooked pears. Roasting or braising would probably also work.) melon with mint...

    The ones with very high values are almost definitely water-soluble-- basically, in a healthy person with normal absorption, you would absorb it but then pee out extra (see bright yellow pee post B-vitamins). In someone with impaired absorption (celiac!), you may or may not be absorbing it all so the mega doses may be helpful. Minerals can be overdosed...

    I was put on a fairly strict elimination diet. (am still on it...) Basically, limited foods until you feel fine and then add new ones slowly and keep a detailed journal of what you are eating and how you feel. Start: Lamb, turkey, rice, millet, cooked carrots, summer squash/zucchini, applesauce, canola oil, and salt. (I also added almonds-- not something...

    Sounds like fat malabsorbtion. I have the same problem... although whether it is definitely only triggered by gluten/wheat or another issue as well is to yet TBD. Theoretically, it could also indicate fructose issues, pancreatic problems, or a couple of other random things. Glad to know that someone else doesn't have classic viral illness type "diarrhea...

    My feta does not. But it's a block, not flavored crumbled stuff which could well have other nonsense in it. Yeah, white beans or lentils, or black beans or even some combo would work well. The original recipe pretty much said make this, use whatever beans you want. I also throw in a bit of shallot or scallion, parsley, garlic, and a small chili pepper...

    I definitely was... and did in fact wake up my parents at 3 am a number of times. Continued at least through freshman year of college. No complaints recently, although generally I think I do fairly normal things, just without remembering. And, uh, being asleep. As a child, I was pretty responsive to being told to go back to bed without waking up. I...

    Breads and pastas tend to be more expensive (the brown rice pasta I like ranges from $3.00 on sale to $4.00 at the expensive store-- waay more than the $0.89/box I used to buy). Reviews of gluten free bread seem to generally indicate it's better toasted and not real wonderful for sandwiches that are in packed lunches. I haven't splurged-- hard to find and...
  25. sb2178
    I'm a huge fan of bean based soups and dips, with either some rice or potatoes (sweet) thrown in. Currently can't because of an elimination diet, but am looking forward to eating them again... Summer tends to be dip, winter is soup. Fritatas, crustless quiches, or egg "bakes" with cheese and vegetables are good too if you can eat the cheese. These are...
