    Make sure your boyfriend brushes his teeth before kissing you if he has been eating gluten or drinking beer. The main thing sto replace and get dedicated gluten-free only are: toaster, cutting board, non-stick pans with scrathes, plastic spatulas and thigns if they are scratched, wooden spoons and the pasta strainer. I also wanted to mention that reactions...

    Just go and get the bloodwork done. That way if everything is normal you know you are doing a good enough job and can continue to relax. If you're antibodies come back elevated then you know you need to knuckle down again and be more careful.

    Leftover saffron rice and half a piece of grilled steak.

    There's very little fiber in that diet. How about adding some more fruits and veggies? Try cutting out all the gluten-free replacement foods and eating meals that are naturally gluten-free instead. With that much processed food anyone could feel bad.

    Have you been tested for diabetes or other blood sugar problems like hypoglycemia? After that much sugar anyone's blood sugar would crash. Most people woudl want to sleep but if you felt like you absolutely couldn't stay awake it may be dangerous. Get to the dr ASAP if you notice this happens with other sugary foods. Blood sugar issues are nothing to...

    I wasn't sure what to answer for the poll. I've been gluten-free for 19 months now. For the most part I'm healthy. I have some other intolerances and food allergies. I'm borderline hypothyroid and also have hypoglycemia. I also have some lingering problems that I hope are not permanant. Basically if I eat mostly home cooked food and very few gluten...

    Be sure your vitamin levels are back to normal and start taking a good gluten-free pre-natal vitamin BEFORE you try to conceive (start now if possible). Also if you have not been retested to see if your antibodies have gone down you might want to ask to have that done to make sure you are complying well with the gluten-free diet (tests will be negative if...

    are you sure that coffeemate creamer is gluten-free? I seem to remember some other posters have trouble with it recently. I'll see if I can find the thread and post it for you. ETA: Okay, never mind. YOU were the one asking about so I guess you got your answers already and eliminated it. I think taking out all casein is a great idea.

    I used to get a brand called Mother's but I haven't been able to find them in my stores lately. They are marked gluten-free and just always tasted better to me than the other brands. Now I buy Quaker or my local store brand now (Farm Fresh's brand) as both are labeled gluten free. There are lots of options besides bread and rice cakes to put PB on however...

    Thanks for sharing, especially about the vitamins! I am also having trouble finding vitamins I can take and I have just stopped taking any vitamins right now because every type I take makes me sick or tired somehow. It's been around 6 months since I took any vitamins and my hair is not falling out anymore and I'm not struggling with major fatigue. I go...

    I cut out dairy for the first year. When I tried to add it back in I had a similar experience, except I didn't try using lactaid. I seemed okay with yogurt and hard cheeses at first so I stuck to those, but I started having bloating. Then I started noticing I was congested and coughing everytime I ate dairy. Then I started having severe allergic reactions...

    That's good news if they have no symptoms right now. It does not mean, however, that they cannot develop celiac or gluten intolerance in the future. Be sure to have them tested every few years. If either of them have symptoms (sorry I don't recall if they do) you should consider trialing a gluten-free diet anyway since the testing has a high false negative...

    I could buy this. There was about a 5 year period of time where my health was in decline but some of my symptoms came back off and on. Looking back now, my worst health was during times when I was trying to eat "healthy" by adding more whole grain products such as whole wheat pasta, pearled barley and multigrain bread. For a while I was actually adding...

    Try your best to stop itching it if you can. I have the same problem as you--I itch until it bleeds and then it is more likely to get infected, loook worse and leave scars. When I saw a dermatologist to try to get a diagnosis she said it was too scrathed and picked for her to biopsy anything or to tell what it might be. All she could do was give me steroid...

    Is she eating more dairy? Perhaps she is lactose intolerant? Also she could be gluten intolerant and not know it. Some people have no reactions until they remove gluten. Often people will have another food allergy/intolerance that shows up when they go gluten free. Just because her reactions are different than yours doesn't mean it CAN'T be a gluten...

    Check out the what's for breakfast thread to see what peopel are eating: People eat all kinds of things and not just traditional "breakfast" food. I use coconut milk (So Delicious brand) mostly when I do eat cereal.

    Sounds like you may be allergic to wheat. I get hives from lotions and other personal care products with wheat in them. My scratch test did not show up any food allergies either but my IgE allergy blood test showed a wheat allergy. I also have other symptoms that indicate I have trouble with other forms of gltuen too (barely, malt, rye, etc) so I stay...

    I'm not in Mississippi but I live in the South too and there are lots of Southern foods that are naturally gluten-free or easy to make that way if you make it yourself. Besides cornbread there's: Grits collard greens (and other greens) hush puppies (if you make yourself) coleslaw BBQ ribs sweet Potatoes Shoepeg corn Green beans fried cabbage...

    Don't hide it but don't make a big deal about it. Order as you normally would to avoid gluten and dairy. If asked directly by the boss you can explain that you have food "allergies" (or say celiac if you think they might know what it is) but it's no big deal and then change the subject by asking a question about your new job. The only reason to tell them...

    I was thinking before I even read the update that the failed cookies might be just as good as if they had turned out. He can smile sweetly and ask her to teach him how to bake. Some girls will think he's cute just for trying.

    Thanks! It wasn't so bad. Only a little siding and some roof tiles came off and we were stuck in our house until sunday afternoon due to flooded streets. Power blinked off and on all day Sat and Sunday. Not sure what was goign on on Sunday sinc ehte wind and rain were gone--I guess they were trying to fix it for others and had to take ours off for a few...

    I used the recipe from the Better Homes and Gardens cookbook. 3 cups medium noodles 1/4 cup bread crumbs 1 Tablespoon butter or margerine 1 cup chopped celery 1/4 cup chopped onion 3 tablespoons butter or margerine 1/4 cup all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard 1 cup milk 1 cup chicken broth 1 9 ounce can tuna 1/4 cup chopped pimento ...

    It's been about a year since I asked since I can no longer have dairy and soy (found out the crusts have soy flour) but I was told their pizzas come pre-made and they just bake either a cheese or pepperoni one. This info may have changed or the person I talked to might not have known either. There's a big risk of cc however if they were to use the same...

    Thanks for fixing the fence Carengee! Irene knocked part of it down and then tired to blow everyone away! She only got off with a few shingles and pieces of siding though. We were stuck in our house due to flooded streets until the water receded enough yesterday and we could venture out. Lost power off and on throughout the storm. No loss of life for...
  25. GlutenFreeManna
    LOL! I wish I could sleep, but I can't sleep when it storms for some reason. I love to watch it rain but I just can't go to sleep. Guess I will have to use that as an excuse to cuddle with hubby.
