    I confess that Sunday I snuck a piece of regular pizza because it smelled SO GOOD and I was weak. figured... how bad could it be right? The next morning I could NOT manage out of bed. I was beyond exhausted and literally can not keep my eyes opened, every moment able, I would go back to sleep. I blew it off. Last night I got up in the middle of the night...

    TRue enough.. CC would be high. The young man knew what I was referring to because he bakes flour free. The woman seemed like an idiot (sorry) They are exactly like the ones I found at central market. I ate 2 and now I have gurgling and gas so.. I guess CC. I didn't even THINK about all the flour they use on site. Even if they don't IN the cookie. I wonder...

    I found what appeared to be flourless cookies at HEB in the bakery. To verify, I asked 2 bakery employees. One said he watched the baker and indeed, he did not use flour. The ingredients are basically coco powder, powered sugar, eggs and vanilla. I looked at the other lady to confirm and she said.... "flour In cookies? There is no flour in cookies" So I pointed...

    Gluten free wasn't enough for me either. I had to go lowcarb and low sugar. I do notice a difference in my gut although I still have D/Const. Being gluten-free and low carb, this really takes out pretty much most processed foods. I eat meat, potatoes, veggies, fruit, beans.... sometimes a piece of chocolate (anything plain) and RARELY crackers or gluten...

    We really don't go to peoples houses for dinner but the last time we did, it was pizza. I know now to always ask what is being served. I brought watermelon and a salad. People did ask why I wasn't eating pizza. I told them, we chatted about it, got tipsy and played Rockband My kinda people wouldn't get offended.

    I'd say it was the fact you ate split pea soup! Ok teasing. I can't stand the stuff but I have eaten AMY's frozen goods before without an issue. Their can goods are WAY more than I am willing to pay. I have also heard of the CC with that brand. I sure hope you feel better, and soon!

    I wonder what changed? I have seen this before on the board. We do well, we feel better then something changes. You hang in there. Nothing lasts forever Try to track down where the change started? Tiff

    My gallbladder hemorrhaged about 7 years ago. I had to have emergency surgery to remove it and I also had to get stones removed from the duct. So let's back up 12 years. I was pregnant and having what felt like heartburn from hell or maybe a heart attack. I was given an Ultrasound and you could see the stones. I refused surgery because I was PG. The...

    First off, the waitress was knowledable and patient with me. When I finally figured out what I could have (printed out a gluten-free list for outback) she told me they have a dedicated fryer that gets fresh oil every day, for their frenchfries and to ask for no seasoning. I did not ask for fries but she offered the info and since their hamburger is 100% pure...

    Depends on what it is I suppose. I might buy something I REALLY want if it says processed in a facility that process wheat. That could mean in a completely different building. I do not buy it if it says processed on equipment that processes wheat.

    It sure stinks feeling sick but doesn't it put a little peace in your mind that someone can relate? you are not alone? You can be a baby and not be the only one? aderifield, Yoplait has a gluten-free yogurt. It says it on the container. I ONLY buy those and not all yoplait are gluten-free. Thank you all for relating. I do feel a bit better today. Still...

    Kindred spirits I see!!! I have not tried glutino crackers (have tried others) but now that I have a word on that brand I am gunna. Ok back to reality my non-glutard friends. I made gluten-free chicken afredo tonight and all is right with the world. Heartland pasta is very good and SO much cheaper than the other gluten-free brands. xox

    YES exactly! I hope this gets easier with time.

    For me, today, I would LOVE some good ole cheese n crackers! Ritz roasted veggie and colby/montereyjack. Cheese by itself (which is how I now eat it) just isn't the same.

    Yea I am only 3 months in and trying to learn. Because I have other unrelated issues, It is hard to tell what is what sometimes but the headaches and hip pain were DEFINATELY *pre gluten-free* symptoms. Guess I won't do that again. Thank you guys for your support. This really is a great place to be.

    Don't remember but it appears my seafood dinner the other night had it. My fault for not really investigating the ingredients.

    I have yet to find a rice or corn tortilla that doesn't break. I have tried heating them up, using butter... nothing works so I gave up on the rolling.
  19. Aphreal
    Do you ever feel like maybe it's all in your head? That your symptoms are gluten related because you make them? I have been waking up with headaches again. This morning I woke with the headache AND the hip pain that I had gotten rid of when I went gluten-free. So I start thinking back. The other night I had baked fish with a cream/mayo/spice type of...

    Do some research and find out what places have gluten-free items. There are maybe 3 places I go that I have their gluten-free menu memorized. Pretty much gave up on eating out other than that.
  21. Aphreal
    yea, sometimes I really want a sandwhich on some soft bread or have rye toast with apple butter. Alas, we refrain.
  22. Aphreal
    HAHA that made me laugh. Thank you. I don't really find the diet *hard* persey. More work, Yes. that it is but hey not much diff than Diabetic eliminating sugar or Hypertensives eliminating salt.
  23. Aphreal
    I've said this before, I think some people confuse carb with gluten. We NEED carbs for energy. There is more than one form of carb. Grain is not the only carb you can get your hands on! I stopped talking about it too. I had some guy (a waiter no less) scoff at me and say something about he wouldn't ditch it even if he had to. Obviously someone who does...

    I could do one every other day curious. The vials are 1 dose vials maybe a droppful, it would be hard to split....but yea.. one every other day. I should do that. I stopped taking my BP meds. I stopped taking the bentyl and I am finally getting some moving along. I have to take my cycle meds and pmdd meds but I am so close to just throwing everything...

    Ken, Do you have an HEB by you out there? I just got a $20 gc in the mail if you can use it, I will send it. They sell gluten-free stuff. Their HCF brand is gluten-free so you could buy like gluten-free pasta and some sketti sauce. Stuff like that lasts a while!
