    I have not done South Beach, but I have done other low carb diets in the past. I found these boards to be helpful: Open Original Shared Link They have section for the South Beach Diet. I wish you luck. Oh and I just wanted to say that I did weight watchers back in the 80's and 90's. I don't know how it has changed, but at the time that I did it,...

    I don't exactly have a recipe. I make it a little differently each time. The main ingredients that don't change are: chicken, tomato paste (or tomato sauce), peanut butter and some sort of peppers (bell peppers if you don't like it spicy or spicy peppers or even just a shake of red pepper flakes). The tomato sauce and peanut butter with a little heat make...

    Hi, your first posts do take a little while to show up because a moderator has to approve it (but I have never had it take several days). Perhaps your first post was just missed by members here because of the time of day you posted. I went and answered your post. I hope you find answers here that help you figure out what is going on with your daughter...

    What is her typical diet like? Do you make everything from scratch and use mostly whole foods or do you have a lot of packaged "gluten free" foods? She could still be getting gluten in trace amounts or she could be sensitive to something else that is in many gluten free foods (soy, corn, rice, tapioca, etc). Many of us have additional food sensitivities...

    I was searching for something else and came across this product: Open Original Shared Link This is dairy and soy free vegan cheese. Looking at the ingredients it appears to be gluten free. But I wanted to check here and make sure I didn't overlook a suspicious ingredient. What do y'all think? And if this IS gluten free, has anyone tried it? ...

    Hi Summerteeth, I know this post is really old, but did you ever try making the fufu? I found a flour mix called fufu in my international market today and I started looking for recipes and came across your post here. The fufu flour I saw was made from cocoyam and cassava flour. I found some very interesting info on fufu. Open Original Shared Link Apparently...

    Perhaps it has such a small amount of soy sauce that the gluten content is below the legal ppm limit to be considered a gluten-containing item? Sort of like McDonalds' fries that have wheat but can be called gluten free (not trying to start the Mcdonald's debate up, just using it as an example). That's all I can think of...

    What "medical book" are you reading?
  9. GlutenFreeManna
    I completely agree! I recently got stopped in a grocery store and asked to do a survey about my satisfaction on various things (customer service to product quality). At the end of the survey I was asked is there anything else that the store could do to improve or to make me shop there more. I told the lady I wish they had more gluten free products, because...

    I would try eliminating all sources for at least two weeks then try to re-introduce something like yogurt. Yogurt is low in lactose. You should get your answer with that. If you have a lot of damage you may not be able to tolerate lactose for several months or years. I'm not sure how you figure out if it's casein, I was pretty sure my problem was lactose...

    If your breasts are also dry and itchy or the skin is inflamed/discolored talk to your doctor about inflammatory breast cancer. It is rare, but this type of breast cancer does not show up on a mammogram. I believe it is cancer of the skin of the breasts rather than the mammary glands. Here's some info on it: Open Original Shared Link

    Funny, I had a good conversation with him on the way home about possibly going gluten free completely. He asked me if they did an endoscopy if they could test for celiac. I was able to tell him all I know about the endoscopy tests from reading here. I think he is seriously considering going gluten free for good, but he wants to do the testing first. One...

    Well we just got back from the CT-scan. The scan itself took 15 minutes, but they made him wait an hour and a half for the doctor to read the results. They wouldn't even let me go get food for him. He had breakfast at 4:30 AM this morning and had to go until 4 PM without food just because the doctor at the place and our doctor were playing phone tag. ...

    Yes, I got unexplained fevers often before going gluten free and I have had them when getting glutened. I started a thread about being too hot in hot weather and several people mentioned the "gluten fever" they get when glutened. Here's that thread:

    Thanks for the review, I can't wait to find it. Raven, your question was answered in this thread: No soy, but made in a facility with soy products. I am going to risk it if I find this stuff because I'm guessing the soy is from Betty Crocker's gluten-free cookie mixes which only have soy in the chocolate. SO I think it's highly unlikely a chocolate...

    There are other parts of the world where people don't eat very much wheat at all (and what has crept in is from processed products or western influences) so I don't think you are hurting him by keeping him gluten free. I would look at something else like raven suggested. Either another food intolerance or an inner ear infection. All I know is I used to...

    This is a good point. I have always been very, very sensitive to drugs and medicines. One Benedryl will knock me out for a day and if I take a sleep aid like Tylenol PM I have to plan to sleep for 10+ hours and be groggy the whole next day. I'm not skinny either, so this is not a matter of my weight being so low I need children's doses or anything like...
  18. GlutenFreeManna
    Thanks Raven, I didn't realize the difference between the two. I think they are testing him for the itis one. I saw it on the CT scan script the doctor wrote out. The doctor also prescribed two very strong antibiotics for him (Flagyl and Levaquin) and they got him in for the CT within two days of his doctor's appointment. He went to the doctor when the...

    Thanks. The second link had info about the company in question. It was gluten free as of four years ago. Nothing else I can do at this point but wait it out and see if this is a typical gluten reaction or just a reaction to the barium drink.
  20. GlutenFreeManna
    Thank you Roda for the link to this and for bumping up this thread. I think I am just really sensitive to the barium stuff.

    This is good to know, even though this post is four years old. My husband had to take Barium from the EZ-EM company. Hopefully they have not changed their formula.

    I just looked at the package in the trash. It's called E-Z CAT DRY. Made by EZ EM out of Cananda. I guess I should contact them to find out if it's gluten free...

    My husband has been having pain on his left side off and on ever since we went gluten free. He is gluten free at home for me, but he still consumes gluten when away from home occasionally. I have noticed he complains of pain more when he has had fast food (usually something with a bun). He went to the doctor and the doctor thinks it is either diverticulitis...

    I Just wanted to mention that I found this pasta in my stores recently, but it does have soy flour, so it was a no go for me. Also, the same brand makes regular pasta with semolina wheat flour and it was stocked in the gluten free section right beside the gluten free ones. So watch out and make sure you get the right bag. They almost looked identical.

    Breakfast: Homemade yogurt with honey and berries OR a banana with a spoonful of peanut butter OR Apple slices with honey OR scrambled eggs with turkey bacon (usually on the weekend) OR hard boiled eggs and fruit (melon or grapes) Or hashbrown potatoes with onions and peppers. Lunch: I usually don't have a big lunch, but instead I have two or three mini...
