    You've been gluten-free longer than me, but I don't have the nightmares anymore. If I recall, you have a shared household. Maybe that's part of the anxiety that causes the nightmares. IDK. Hope you sleep well tonight.

    If you have celiac disease, you will set yourself back and damage your villi. If you don't have celiac disease, as Love mentioned, you may have no notable symptoms. It's a mystery. Let us know how it goes. What is pork pie? I'm curious because I've never heard of it and because that's what you're choosing for your gluten challenge. (My choice would...

    Yankee pot roast with horseradish, braised onions and carrots. Potato salad for him, cottage cheese for me. He prounounced it a "slammy" (ultimate compliment for him, as in grandslam). It took a bit of label reading to find horseradish without questionable ingredients, finally found Gold's brand, which includes horseradish, passover vinegar and salt...

    I made the one in Elana Amsterdam's Almond Flour cookbook. I checked her website yesterday and saw that she revisited the recipe. The almond flour should be at room temperature and the pancake mix should be allowed to sit for 15 minutes before cooking at medium or MH vs. ML as instructed in the cookbook. I'll try that next time, I used flour straight from...

    It's worth a try. And at the risk of being really boring, I'll suggest once again that you get a pressure cooker. You can teach classes in PC. You can do Osco Busco in less than an hour! If that doen't sell you, I'll shut up forever.

    I tried almond flour pancakes again. They are supremely delicious, (like coookies) but very aggravating to cook. (Tough to flip, long to cook.) But they're delicious and safe, low carb, some protein, so I guess they're worthy, but I need to tweak the recipe.

    Carmelized pork steaks (homemade sauce), grilled asparagus, sweet potatoes and tossed salad. Dark chocolate.

    Good point Mushroom. Something else to think about is CC from wheat with corn products. (Corn tortillias, corn flour, grits, etc.) They're all made on shared manufacuting lines from what I've seen in the grocery stores in my small town. Maybe there are more options in big city groceries.

    No. She died 12/16/10. She was an R.N. I'll never understand why she couldn't go gluten-free. I miss her and still wonder what the issue was. Maybe because she was a depression child?

    I wish you good luck. Corn in the 4th thing I eliminated, and I haven't been brave enough to reintroduce it yet. It's a scary crop lol. (I can say that, I'm a farmer's daughter.)

    You can easily make meat (or fish) balls by combining whatever protein you have with gluten-free bread crumbs (I just stick a piece of frozen gluten-free bread in the mini food processor), minced onion, and herbs or flavoring (like fresh squeezed lemon juice and zest for fish cakes.) Roll them up in the shape you desire, stick them in the refrigerator (or...

    Hi Bart, You're feeling good enough to want to flirt with disaster, that's a good sign! I'd go with reintroducing nightshades. That adds so many foods for you. After everything I've read about soy, I'm pretty much in the camp that I'll never indulge in soy again unless it is fermented, and even then it doesn't really appeal to me because...
  13. Marilyn R
    Have you considered other food intolerances? Dairy, soy, corn can be problematic for some people after going gluten-free, so can nightshade vegetables and legumes or fructose, as well as some of the alternate grains and to a lesser extent, egg yolk. Have you tried keeping a food diary? Sometimes ingesting the other proteins can mimic a gluten reaction...

    I've never felt fortunate until reading your post that my siblings and their families get it. They saw my celiac disease mother gradually become completely wheelchair bound and unable to perform activities of daily living without 1-2 people assisting her. (She was non-compliant with the diet.) I definitely know what you're describing when you mention...

    I wondered if you were having issues with dairy before but didn't have the heart to suggest it, I know you love it so. I'm surprised the dietician only suggested two weeks though. (I believe I've read that you should avoid it for three months before reintroducing, but I could be wrong.) I haven't tried soy again, don't really have any desire. I like...

    Inn addition, it may pay to see an allergist for skin prick testing. I was proufoundly surprised with the results,but it helped solve the food puzzle. Good luck!

    Thank you for the suggestions, Love! I never thought of a tuna melt in a potato jacket, used to love them on toast! OMG, new lunch ideas! Happy days! I'm trying not to go overboat on dairy, because I've read old posts about being intolerant/tolerant/intolerant. I definitely love being in the middle. Thanks again.

    Yrp. Cheating is flirting with disaster.

    It was my partner's birthday. He wanted twice baked potatos and Porterhouse steak with salad. (No cake, the taters are better than dessert, he said.) It's a pia to make twice baked potatos. Bake 4 very large Idado potatos at 400 degrees for an hour. Meanwhile, fry and crumble 8 pieces of bacon. (I prefer Applewood smoked.) Chop 6-8 green onions...

    Charcoal grilled chicken with homemade marinade & BBQ sauce. Twice baked potatoes & romaine tossed salad.

    Hi Hadrian, You've been through so much and I guess my best advice is to try a gluten-free diet for a few years (it took me 15 months to return to what I feel is close to normal, but I'm quite a bit older, so maybe you'll heal faster.) Good luck, I hope you figure out what is right for you.

    I can't tolerate carrageenan, so most whipped creams or full creams are out. I can tolerate dairy products without carrageenan, including Half & Half. I've been bummed that I can't find whipping cream without carrageenan. Carrageenan is a seaweed prduct, don't know why it would be problm, but for me it seems to be a problem.

    Maybe it's the soy. Take a deep breath and try to relax. At first, for some of us, it seems like everthing you stick in your mouth makes you sick. Try eating things you didn't eat before, and try to mix things up so you aren't repeating food families and developing other food intolerances. I swear it gets better. Sorry you are having a bad...

    Thanks for sharing! I've been meaning to buy some of those wrappers. I love cooked shrimp with mung bean sprouts. The U Tube link was helpful, thanks again.

    Rice is generally good. When it seemed like I was getting sensitive to everything, I started soaking, then rinsing my rice before cooking it. Another poster sorts it by hand before cooking it but I don't have the patience. I have a few Indian cookbooks and the authors suggest soaking and rinsing before cooking, so that's why I started prepping it like...
