    I like this thread, it's helping with new ideas! Breakfast - a banana and peanuts, coffee with rice milk and honey, a multi-vit. with mins, calcium w/ D and a vitamin D capsule. Snack - peanuts Lunch - I packed homemade curried pea soup with lots of veggies in it, but I had to go to a business lunch and ordered grilled fish, white rice and redbeans...

    Ooh, I never thought of mashing butternut squash with rutabaga! Yum. I bet that's good! Thanks for sharing.

    My mother was diagnosed with celiac and chron's disease. She was an RN and felt it was ok to cheat, or she had a food addiction that she couldn't beat. If you continue to poison yourself, your autoimmune system will continue to wreak havoc on your body. You may experience neurological symptoms like neuropathy or migraine headaches or M.S. There's another...

    I spent a few weekends developing a menu plan for the next week, and shopping accordingly. Then I just flat out didn't want what my menu said I was supposed to have that day (even though I picked all foods I like or love for my menus). I stopped trying to plan menus and have been happier by buying things on sale when I go to the grocery store. ...

    Tamatari Jhinga over brown rice! Received a new cook book as a gift, and I highly recommend it: "New Indian Home Cooking". It's by a registered dietician, and great, if you like Indian Foods. (It's not gluten-free, but many recipes are, or easily adaptable.) To translate, we had shrimp with a spicy/sweet tomato & onion sauce. It was good...

    Hi Jack, I can definitely relate! The "I don't care" or "I can't do it" feeling is a "4" on a scale of 1-4 of food allergy symptoms for pediatricians and allergists. It's called a "feeling of doom". (AKA depression) Many of us who can't tolerate gluten develop other food intolerances with foods who have proteins that are similar in structure...

    Flatten 2 boneless , skinned chicken breast halves to 1/8" thickness with a meat mallet - chicken placed under parchment paper and on top of a cutting board. (I don't mind this step, helps me work out my frustrations! On each chicken cutlet half, place about 1/2 tsp of minced garlic, 1 Tablespoon of minced onion, and 1 fresh sage leaf (you could...

    I'd ask your dentist if you can dilute a teaspoon or two of peroxide with water as a solution to soak your mouthpiece. That's what they suggest to clean toothbrushes. It would probably save you money, too! Good luck!

    Great response, Mushroom. I always appreciate your posts. Evangaline, can you think about eating meat? Even though I've never cared for meat, we really need protein. You can have root vegetables, bananas, brazil nut, maybe buckwheat, cashew, citrus, artichoke, persimmon, flaxseed, beets, chard, spinich, maybe quinoa, all melons, bamboo shoots, asparagus...

    Good luck! Tumeric is a great spice, but anti-D isn't one of the things it is known for. It really is a great spice, a natural anti-biotic, antioxidant, and more. The National Instute of Health had some interesting studies about tumeric. Do a search for "health benefits of tumeric" and you may want to start implementing tumeric in your diet...

    I'm almost at the one year gluten-free point. I feel so much better than before, but not up to the level I used to be. I've been to multiple specialists and they've all run oodles of blood tests. Based on what I'd read on this forum, I recently requested that my endocrinoligist check my Vitamin D level. It's really low, even though I live in the sub...

    I was a catering manager at an upscale hotel chain for years. Vegatarians and Kosher Jews request special meals routinely, and without a second thought. Please feel free to write "Gluten Free" on your RSVP without guilt. If you can talk to the caterer ahead of time, I'd encourage you to do so. If you aren't comfortable with their expertise (many...

    Thank you for adding that recipe.

    I know your pain chili ... There was a really good article about Gluten Ataxia in "Living Without" Magazine that you might be interested in reading. It appeared in last month's issue, not the current issue. Good luck and good health,

    Thank you for your post. How do I get my physician (I'm seeing several ... gastro, rheumy, allergist, endo, PCP to order the genetic testing? The rheumy prescribed a nasty med that was originally produced to stop seizures. I'm not going down that road...(read about the side effects.)
  18. Marilyn R
    Even though my gastro said that I shouldn't put myself through skin prick testing about 8 months after going gluten-free, something was still bugging me. Egg yolks were a 3. Whites were neutral. I'd suspected that eggs were causing a problem, had read that most people who are allergic to eggs are allergic to the whites, so I'd bed eating only egg yoks...

    I've searched the web for good gluten-free posters. This one never appeared on my searches, but appeared in our local newspaper because the blogger is going to publish a gluten-free cookbook in November. (By the way, the article said that seven publishers pursued her.) According to the article, she became "allergic to wheat" after her second pregnancy...

    I tried it with amaranth flour and it was abysmal, a total failure. I didn't pursue trying to modify anything, and in fact have never used amaranth flour again. I'm an ok cook, but I don't "get" the science of cooking. The amararnth pancakes seemed soupy (too much liquid?), didn't brown correctly, never cooked in the middle. I like Handva Flour too...

    We had an early St. Patrick's day meal because a vegatarian is going to be a houseguest on the 17th. We had corned beef and cabbage, carrots, taters and onion. It's the first time I've pressure cooked it ... and the Irish Boyfriend gave the meal an "A +" Now I'm trying to think of a good meal for St. Pattie's with the vegetarian. (She's Irish too.)...

    Can you buy chick pea flour and rice flour? Mix one C. chick pea flour with 1/4 cup rice flour, 1 tsp salt and 1 cup water until smooth. Add 1 cup grated zucchini, or carrot or onion and/or some minced sweet or hot pepper (or mixture of any of those) and 1/2 - 1 tsp cumin seed. (You may want to avoid the cumin seed since you don't want an overpowering...

    A good foot rub may be even more beneficial than a soak. I remember reading an article that there are more that 200 nerve centers connected to your feet. Then again, my memory hasn't been that magnificent, maybe it was only 100 nerve centers! I use Bag Balm to massage my feet, and spend a few minutes massaging my feet before going to bed after a stressful...

    So glad you are feeling better!! I had some constipation, which was a major shock to my system after all the IBS. I figured that was normal. I have added quite a bit of oil to my diet. I buy tuna in olive oil vs. in water. I make my own marinades & salad dressings with olive, sunflower or canola oil, some seasonings and an acid (like lime...
