    I noticed that kettle one vodka says at the bottom in tiny print that it was made in a wheat facility or from a wheat distillery (not sure of the exact wording...) Not to sound silly, but this is not gluten free then, correct???? Now I'm confused about vodka.... Help!

    Hi guys, You've been extremely helpful to me in the past and would just like to run through some things to see if anyone has some insight. I have been gluten free for about 3 months. I haven't really noticed anything getting better. My main issues are hypothyroidism, chronic constipation (the only thing that helps is 4x the regular dose of miralax), weight...

    GARDENING- I really hope this helps your daughter! I take miralax regularly and was wondering if this is something her GI recommended for short term and if it's supposed to completely re-train her muscles etc or is it something that is meant to be a cleanse/quick fix? My problem is I can eventually get cleaned out by overdosing on the miralax- takes...

    WE ARE IN THE EXACT.SAME.BOAT! I have had xrays, as well, only to find that the dr says "Wow you really are full of poop." then they tell me to alternate laxatives and enemas to get cleaned out. well, enemas don't even work for me all the time. probably 75% of the time they'll do a little but never a full clean out. I've seen specialists and had tests...

    I noticed that, too.... but I can tell you this bread was wonderful- as is. I don't know that I would change anything my second time around. I really loved it.

    I thought vodka was safe- but i realize you're right, it's typically a grain alcohol. Is potato vodka the only safe alternative in terms of vodka??? Or is that only if you're sensetive. Thanks for clarification!

    i just made this- it's phenomenal!!

    I am also having a hard time with my hypothyroidism- Gemini what is nature-thyroid and where do you get it? is it prescription? Thanks!

    Hey guys! I need some help with white bean flour recipes. I bought some on sale the other day and have done some searches, but thought some of you might be able to help I'm not looking so much for bread recipes, but maybe some crust (pizza), baked goods (biscuits?) or flatbread? Anything would be great, though! Thanks all!

    maybe I need to make the switch- my meds don't help except I guess my TSH is now in the normal range- whatever that is, right? I forgot my research- is Armour the brand name? is it really expensive?

    So after being gluten free for about a month it's becoming more obvious that a lot of my symptoms are more related than I thought. One of these is the issue of popping my knees and back- I'm young- 24 years old and live a pretty active lifestyle (when I have the energy) but for the past few years I've noticed an intense urge to pop my knees- they feel...

    This is really interesting to me- I certainly have had the same thoughts. I have no idea, but it seems that all of my hypothyroid symptoms have masked my glutening symptoms... or the other way around, I guess. I don't know how to get a straight answer on this- other than to watch your TSH blood test results and everything. I haven't been to my endocrinologist...

    From reading many posts on this site I have become a little more educated on the possibilities of gluten and dairy intolerance. I never, ever thought I was dairy intolerant, but just ate ice cream (gluten free) and about 20 minutes later had "D" (which could finally be my miralax working...) but also got a horrible sore throat. I've suffered from chronic...

    If anyone hasn't had it and live near one you should go! Their gluten free pizza is phenomenal. The cheese kept slipping off, but I didn't mind. I thought it was awesome!

    It's so confusing! VitaminDgirl- I also have the constipation side of things. I apologize if you've already mentioned this, but are you taking any specific supplements that you've noticed helping the constipation? So far the gluten free diet alone has done nothing for my constipation. I'm looking for examples other than adding more fiber or food choice...

    I drink vodka mixed with water- which is not a very common "favorite" but it's what I like. You can try it with a lime. Also, (correct me if I'm wrong!) but wine is safe too!

    Unfortunately prunes do nothing at all for me, but I eat beans for protein and fiber as I don't eat any meat. So it's not a new thing for me to be constipated, but I just thought I would be relived sooner than later after going gluten free. Leikela- it is unbelievably helpful to know that you understand! It's beyond frustrating, as you know. Everyone wants...

    My main symptom for the last 3 or so years has been constipation... chronic constipation. Needless to say I've been told, like many of you, that I have IBS. Worthless. Anyway, since going gluten free about 3 weeks ago, I have noticed feeling more constipated! Maybe this is in my head? I no longer have awful, overwhelming stomach pains after I eat, so I...

    that's exciting! I bought the cookies my first time around and had a little trouble because I melted the butter....haha. I definitely want to give these a try!

    Torimartin- I have had every single one of those gluten withdrawal symptoms. with the exception of one slip up last weekend, I have been gluten free for almost 3 weeks and still feeling the withdrawal. I get headaches in the afternoons and sinus pressure seems to be the worst in the afternoon. Tired all day but have trouble falling asleep and staying...

    I LOVE chickpeas- thanks so much maceroni!

    I definitely don't want to start eating meat again. It seems like I just need to do some more experimenting! I'm new to tempeh and not familiar with millet... Does anyone have fun recipes for bean burgers or veggie burgers? I would like a cheap alternative to boca or morningstar (soy burgers that contain lots of wheat gluten). Thanks! I'm getting excited...

    Phew! Now I know.... that's crazy. obviously I don't bake..... I had no idea it would make that much of a difference. I should've just eaten the dough- it was fabulous haha thanks
  24. lischro
    So I bought the gluten-free cookies and made them last night. It says to use softened butter but not melted- I accidentally left it in the micro too long and it melted. I thought they would still be fine.... Then, I started stirring and realized that it looked JUST LIKE real cookie dough and started to get really excited- I tasted the dough and it was...

    Ok, so I need some coping tips for being glutened. What happened: I had a little bit too much to drink on Saturday at a wedding reception, went home late and ordered a pizza with my boyfriend. After about the third or fourth bite I realized what I was doing... but it tasted.so.good. So I kept eating and decided I would call this my gluten challenge,...
