    Unfortunately my pain keeps me awake a lot at nights therefore rendering me exhausted and in even more pain the next day. I do walk 45 minutes a day and try to swim when I can and do gentle stretches. It is really tough having both FMS and celiac disease, that is for sure. So far being gluten-free has done absolutely nothing for my FMS. But then sometimes...

    You've come to the right place! It is a tough thing to be told you have celiac disease. It takes a while to sink in. It is a process that includes anger, grieving, etc. When I was told I have celiac disease I too was stunned because I did not have the common GI symptoms. I went ahead with the biopsies for a few reasons - to ensure I truly did have...

    Thanks for your advice. However, I would have a very hard time eating something that has been CC'd deliberately. We eat such an incredibly varied diet as well with a lot of exotic ingredients (some recipes I like to make contain 30+ ingredients) so it would be tough to pinpoint. I have switched to a gluten-free toothpaste and ensure my supplements and...

    Lacklustre! A thick chunk of homemade banana bread with flax and pecans and a piece of provolone cheese.

    Good point. I've had mine for awhile and have noticed that some brands of tuna would have the tricky-to-remove bottom. And those tiny tuna tins? Wow - those would make some mighty tiny buns! Wish I had some of those...

    You can use metal rounds such as tuna cans (after removing both top and bottom). Pretty economical and easy!

    I recently read (an article on here, actually) that in the US only 40% of biopsies are done correctly - in Canada it is 39%. The biggest reason is that so few areas are biopsied. Most apparently take 3-5 and at least 8-11 should be taken for accuracy. Hopefully more and more surgeons are becoming educated on this! For my gluten challenge I was told...

    I tried one for the first time last night. They are the best I've tried, that is for sure. At $2 per bun they are pricey but they will be a treat. I do not think I will even bother making buns any longer! I am impressed.

    I know what you mean! I find it very hard not to have any idea whether I have been glutened or not. There is absolutely nothing I can trace to food because I nearly always feel consistently the same. Sure, I am in constant pain from FMS and herniated discs and chronic insomnia due to so much pain but I really wish I knew if I accidentally ingested gluten...

    I feel no different now than I did since going strictly gluten-free 5 months ago (gluten-free house, no CC). But I wasn't feeling sick from gluten to begin with. The only thing I notice is, as I already mentioned, my fingernails are now straight. I cannot wait until some neuro issues disappear! Now, however, I am having abdominal issues so I think it...

    My husband get goat whenever we find it! Yum. The only times I do not care about food is when I am sick. It takes a lot for me not to think about food!
  12. love2travel
    No problem. It makes sense they do not contain gluten but I am a stickler for checking things...

    I have had to have an emergency root canal and a filling since going gluten-free (in addition to cleanings). The thing you need to ask about it is the rinse (if they use one) and when you get your teeth cleaned the fluoride. I was not able to have a fluoride treatment! The actual crown/filling materials are fine for us.

    I just contacted them yesterday after reading this thread and was notified that NO slurpee flavours contain any gluten. Not surprising. But all that sugar??!!

    ...or even into the moat (I guess lake) if you are desperate! This is rather embarassing but once I got stuck in a maze as an adult at a Scottish castle and came within seconds of missing the last bus of the day back to my B&B. There were some worrisome moments! I could hear the bus but just could not get out of that thing. I was already envisioning...

    Cleared out the fridge last week and found we have 34 kinds of homemade jam! I'm a bit of a food hoarder and get carried away with making preserves. Anyway, I use mine in many savoury ways including glazed duck breast, pork loin, rack of lamb, etc. I often swirl some jam or jelly into a pan sauce. You could make a fool, too! We had strawberry fool this...

    Leftover spicy rubbed pork baby back ribs with homemade apple butter sauce. With our leftover black garlic wild mushroom risotto I am making arancini. Grilled butternut squash with vanilla bean vinaigrette and goat cheese.

    The above recipe looks very good, actually. It is quite safe to leave those ingredients out. When I make ricotta cheese I do the same thing. I do not use mixes but do rather like this recipe (I like to make infused honeys and/or rum butter syrup to go with them). Open Original Shared Link

    Pulled pork with Udi's buns and jicama slaw.
  20. love2travel
    Me, too. I make about 25 kinds. Last night we had black garlic wild mushroom risotto with fresh herbs. Other favourites include roasted butternut squash, roasted tomato, Milanese, red wine and mushroom, chocolate...

    How awesome!! I was diagnosed with celiac disease in February and with FMS in April. So, I have been strictly gluten-free for five months BUT feel absolutely no relief from my FMS. Zero. Am thinking I may need to begin an elimination diet (?nightshades). But in my case I truly do believe I have severe FMS because I was involved in an accident ...

    YAY! Another one of "us". Anyone else out there who has not been to McDonalds in at least a decade?

    My chiro told me that for anyone in chronic pain (i.e. fibromyalgia) that aspartame can compound pain (especially muscular) and he was adamant that I exclude it. So, I have been aspartame free now for several months.
  25. love2travel
    I agree. No treat is worth the possibility of inviting trouble. When I last spoke with the company they told me that none of the Reese's peanut butter cups could be guaranteed to be gluten-free (and she admitted that the lines are not cleaned as well as they should be!). That was enough for me. I handed them over to my husband.
