    So when do you think I should add the sauce?
  2. Buffheart
    Thank you all for your help:) Karichelle, you said not to use a slowcooker to cook anything with sugar, right? Well I have a slowcooker cookbook for people who need to be gluten-free and a lot of the recipes call for sugar in them, but the recipes were also made especially to be cooked in slowcookers, so is that still okay? Also, would adjusting the...

    Yesterday I made turkey meatballs with an apricot dressing on top. The meatballs were fine, but the sugar in the apricot dressing burned and stuck to the sides of the pot. I've had similar experiences with sugar burning to the sides of the pot as well as with meat drying out

    I have a 4.5 quart slow cooker and have noticed that most everything I cook in there comes out dry or burnt around the edges. Well, most of the recipes I have used call for a 2.5 quart slow cooker, so I'm wondering if it is possible to make adjustments to the recipe, cooking time, or level of heat in order to avoid these mistakes again. Thanks!

    Yes, it is my own fault I know. I was at a new grocery store and in a rush and I have a terrible habit of grabbing things without reading the label, though I am MUCH better at reading labels than I was, but I still slip sometimes. And thank you for responding. I feel like less of a fraud now.

    Hello all! I'm hoping somebody here can help me figure out an answer to a perplexing problem I noticed last night. What happened was I ate a cup of noodles and some fig newton type bars that I could have sworn were gluten free, but they weren't. The thing that I don't understand is that I didn't seem to have any sort of reaction. No extra joint pain,...

    Thank you Lucia! Do hummus or any sort of nut butters contain lactose? I thought I heard somewhere that they do.

    I LOVE Larabars! I always get them every week

    Hello! I am looking for easy to make gluten free, lactose free snacks. Premade snacks would also work well as I am trying to figure out what exactly I can buy at the store that would be alright. I recently (as in just last night) discovered that I cannot have chocolate or butter as they contain lactose too. Previously I thought it was just milk, cream...

    I've no doubt I'm addicted to something about sweet foods, be it sugar or something else, but I can't figure out why, not that it really matters. My brothers and parents were never big on candy. A few sweets here and there, but that's all. Not like me who can easily spend $20+ on candy alone. At one point I was buying at least $30-$40 worth of candy a month...

    Hi all! I know some of you have gone down this path, cutting out refined sugars and all. Lately this has been a topic that is starting to intrigue me, so let me explain a bit about why I am interested. As a kid I was always the child that would be happy eating only candy everyday. That's not to say I don't like healthy foods, because I did and still do...

    Went to the doctor yesterday and all they told me was to come back next week for an EKG and probably Holter monitor. That's about all because my pulse was normal while I was there.

    Wooh! Doctors appointment on Monday February 13th! And the doctor sounds very good, so I'm excited:)
  14. Buffheart
    I am going to try and get in to see the doctor either this week or next, but hopefully this week. I'm just a bit apprehensive that this doctor will say that nothing is wrong and send me home. And I can't get in to see a cardiologist just yet, so I have to stick with a regular PCP for the time being. But I have a note from the trainer explaining in more detail...

    I've been reading the few old posts here about A Fib, tachycardia, and various other heart problems and Celiac/Non-Celiac gluten intolerance, so I want to tell my story and see if others can offer some advice. It started, or maybe was first noticed by myself, this past summer (2011). I began to feel this strange pounding/fluttering sensation in my heart...

    I first suspected lactose intolerance a few months ago but was too stubborn to eliminated it. You are talking to a person who used to drink 3-6 glasses of milk a day. That's in addition to the cereal, cheese, coffee creamer, etc. I've tried soy milk and rice milk as well as soy ice cream, but it's just not the same. It doesn't smell the same nor taste the...

    Happy belated birthday!

    Someday, hopefully soon, I want to move into my own apartment, on or off campus, that way I would not only have my own kitchen, but I should also have a stove, oven, and dishwasher, which I do not have now. Though I hate cooking I would rather try making my own stuff every so often instead of having to buy everything prepackaged. I'm not sure how well...

    Actually one of my teachers is gluten intolerant, so we have talked about that a little. It's nice to know I'm not alone. As for hot plates, toaster ovens, etc, I have asked and we are not allowed to have them in our rooms because they are a fire hazard. I have a small 'fridge and freezer and there is a community microwave as well as a community toaster...

    A couple of days ago I was sitting in my room eating some chicken prepared for me by the kitchen staff at my college. They know I have to eat lactose/gluten free and for the most part have done pretty well, and they swore up and down that the chicken was gluten free. Little did I know that they had put some kind of sauce (which probably contained gluten)...

    Mushroom- I will try to get a hard copy of the results but that might be a bit difficult as I am out of state and am in college now, but I will see what I can do. If all else fails I should be going back home in March for a week and will see about getting them then. But hopefully they will be willing to send them out here so I don't have to wait. If it makes...

    Actually the results came in a few days ago via my mother because I moved a few weeks ago. The GI doctor said nothing has changed since my last round of tests in 2010. My blood work was relatively normal and the endoscopy showed no damage. Like last time he also said that my IgA levels were low, though I do not have the actual score. He also said there is...
  23. Buffheart
    Thanks:) I had my endoscopy today and it looked clear. Still have to do the blood work. After this I will try to go gluten free on my own. I'm done with constant doctors appointments.

    Here is a list of symptoms I found. The ones I have/had are emboldened: Abdominal cramps, gas and bloating Anemia Borborygmi (stomach rumbling) Coetaneous bleeding Diarrhea Easy bruising Epitasis (nose bleeding) Failure to thrive Fatigue or general weakness Flatulence...

    Today I was my GI doctor for the first time since my endoscopy in August of 2010. Last year I was having a lot of bloating and abdominal pain and was tested for Celiac. The basic blood tests came back negative and the more in-depth test came back indicating that something was off. My immunogolbulin (sp?) levels were low though I don't know the exact scores...
