    I felt like a heroin addict in withdrawal after I stopped eating gluten (my first week was good, then the withdrawal hit me the second week). It was awful. I felt alternatively feverish and chilled, I sweated tremendously, I had debilitating headaches, I was emotionally distressed, I couldn't sleep. I couldn't function in a basic way. I wrapped myself up...

    ARCHIVED Halp!

    lucia replied to Shelly U's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    I believe the following help me. The symptoms are more tolerable when I've done these things. -drinking lots and lots of water, as much as possible -taking a detoxifying Ayurvedic bath, at least once a day: Fill the tub with water as hot as you can stand. Add 2 cups epsom salts & 1 cup baking soda. Sit in the bath for thirty minutes. Upon getting...

    -gluten-free, dairy-free, sugar-free hot chocolate (per prickpear1971's recipe, which was leftover from the other day I made it) & -roasted yukon potato halves used to scoop up cardamon vanilla applesauce (all leftovers, of course) Funny - I never ever would have come up with a breakfast like this before being forced to go gluten-free. Actually,...

    ARCHIVED Potluck

    lucia replied to AlexS's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips

    This is my favorite, easy pot luck recipe. It can be made in advance, doesn't need to be warmed up, and it's healthy and substantial (you'll enjoy eating it too). I've thought people might be turned off by the quinoa, but the mango and cranberry cut any bitterness. The flavor is actually quite sweet. Rave reviews! The key is to find ripe mangos or buy them...

    I had prickypear1971's gluten-free, dairy-free, sugar-free hot chocolate! Not for everyday (too rich) but a great treat. I drank it with two slices of gluten-free toast with almond butter. I'll have fruit later in the morning.

    I had some this morning for breakfast - it was easy & soooooo good. I didn't miss the dairy or the sugar. Of course, I don't usually get to have hot chocolate for breakfast (yes, for health reasons), so I was pleased. It'd be nice to serve on Christmas morning, or on a cold, snowy morning (not that we've had one of those since October ....)

    A gluten-free "sweet" pizza might serve as a nice alternative to a desert crepe. I could imagine the same toppings being used. In that vein, then, how about nutella and ripe banana. Maybe with some ice-cream on a super fancy night.

    This looks YUM! Even for those of us who don't have to be dairy-free. I love coconut milk - so rich & flavorful. I wish I had a can around like Skylark so that I could go make this right now...

    Black bean tortilla soup with avocado halves. And a big pile of wilted spinach. The soup was meat, egg and dairy free.

    I had a curried sweet potato soup for lunch, so I decided against that. But pumpkin soup is wonderful! mushroom - your recipe sounds easy and delicious! Next time, I have the ingredients around and need an entree ... What I really want to make now is ravioli with a pumpkin filling. I found out gluten-free ravioli are pretty easy. So, soon!

    After reading Simona's post, I want homemade gnocchi! But here's mine tonight: (vegetarian meal) -brussel sprouts & sliced apple with thyme -quinoa pilaf I also have some pumpkin, and am trying to decide what to do with it. I think I might just bake cubes of it.

    When I was first diagnosed and feeling very sick and overwhelmed, I came across "Incredibly Easy Gluten-Free Recipes" on sale at B&Ns. I think you might like it. The recipes are really simple, but offer a good range. Open Original Shared Link

    You won't have any issues. Italians are incredibly sensitive about celiac. You'll just need to be able to say that you're celiac in Italian (

    I thought I could never have pierogis again! Thank-you so much. Can they take other fillings besides mashed potato?

    Today is (vegetarian): Chinese-style stir-fried noodles with egg & winter veggies Happy Year of the Dragon!

    Sunday supper: -Tuscan white bean and spinach soup -slices of Asiago cheese -homemade (gluten-free) bread

    In addition to what has been said above (very good advice), I'd also add that I patronize indian restaurants and thai restaurants freely but with stipulations. It's very helpful that both thai and indian dishes are naturally almost always gluten-free, but you have to be careful with Americanized versions. I've researched which dishes I can have that are...

    Vegetarian: -pureed carrot soup, garnished with sesame/seaweed mix -wasabi & scallion mashed potatoes -braised collard greens with sweet & sour sauce (I suppose it's pan-Asian.)

    In addition to strictly gluten-free cookbooks, I'd also recommend looking into cookbooks that feature the cuisine of non-Western cultures. I'd especially recommend an Indian cookbook. Madhur Jaffrey's are great, especially the one that features meals in less than thirty minutes.

    I feel for you, although I haven't been through it myself. There is a silver lining here though, since so many women with celiac/gluten intolerance have issues with getting pregnant. That said, going gluten-free is challenging. Try to get as much support as you can within your healthcare system. You may be able to see a nutritionist, for example. Especially...

    I love this thread. I get inspiration from it. Two things: 1. I made hasselback potatoes the other night. I'd never heard of them before a post from love2travel. They were easy(ish) and delicious. Highly recommended! 2. Tonight's meal, vegetarian as usual: -grated carrots & beets, marinated in rice vinegar, sesame, sugar, salt & seaweed ...

    Thanks for sharing this. I've decided to start baking, despite my reservations about accumulating flours in a NYC-sized kitchen. I guess it was inevitable, because of course I like to eat too much to resist making my own when store bought is off limits. I've noticed that I just need a few standard flours for most recipes - including yours. I already have...

    It's really time for the US to implement labeling that identifies allergens - like the rest of the developed world!

    There are so many great ideas here. Just wanted to mention that vegetarian food is often cheaper to make, especially when you avoid cheese. I'm not talking about pre-made stuff here, but cooking from scratch. You may want to spend some time in the vegetarian section of sites. I'd think "All Recipes" would be a good place to start: Open Original Shared Link...
