I always thought that this may have had a factor in causing me to get sick. If you read my 'about me' page, you'll get some info of what happened. If you want the short -- I went on an 'all cereal diet', eating only once or twice a day and would basically deny myself food even if I were hungry. I went from being 180 pounds to 120 pounds over about a year...

ARCHIVED Bake In The Oven Chicken Risotto
Mike7 replied to irish daveyboy's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
this sounds amazing, definitely going to try it -
Awesome . Freshly made and gluten free, that is the way to go EDIT: This could be oven-baked as well, if you want to make a bigger batch. I would preheat the oven to 375°F, and bake for around 15-25 min (12 buns) or until golden brown. You should keep an eye on them after the ten minute mark to make sure they don't burn. If you want, melt some Smart ...

ARCHIVED Sluggish Digestion Problems... & Why Do I Need So Much Magnesium?
Mike7 replied to Tidings's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Not a treatment, but to help aid a faster digestive process, try drinking some green or peppermint tea. Green tea helps aid digestion and helps boost the immune system. Peppermint tea also aids digestion, helps with gas/bloating, and some other IBS-type symptoms. Green Tea: Open Original Shared Link Peppermint Tea: Open Original Shared Link There... -
Oh and you wanted some sources for the protein, I have two: Organic Almonds/Almond Butter (put them on fruit, e.g. apples, bananas and they are amazing) and Open Original Shared Link (they are nutritious in almost every way possible). Good Luck!

Okay so here's a macro-nutrient breakdown: 1g of Protein = 4 calories 1g of Carbohydrates = 4 calories 1g of Fat = 9 calories To gain weight, you must consume more calories than what you burn. However, exercise is necessary for the pounds you put on to be healthy, lean weight. Make sure you are active 30 min. a day and have some type of resistance...

ARCHIVED Any Celiac Teens Out There?

Hey, I'm 19 and from MA Oh and RideAllWays, BC, Canada is where it's at...best city in Canada -
In a situation like this have you tried telling them that you are seriously "allergic" to gluten and that gluten is in most foods. They must understand that if someone is seriously allergic to peanut butter, they can die from eating it. Try that and hopefully it will shock them enough to never offer you gluten-packed snacks again...unless they are are incredibly...

I was undoubtedly embarrassed whenever I went out with my friends at a restaurant or around a table with food. The thing I had to realize was that it wasn't MY choice to not eat the food with gluten, it was my body's choice. My body rejects gluten like Dwight Howard blocks jump shots. A classmate I knew would always say that he was allergic to wheat...

Thanks for the clarification, I didn't know about that particular law. Just wanted to give everyone a heads up, hopefully the MFS is corn or tapioca or else the Coca-Cola Company is in some big trouble.

Apple slices with almond butter is a great snack for bike rides like this. Spread a light coating on the side of each slice and leave room so that you can pick up the apple without getting the almond butter on your fingers. Sugar and fiber for fuel, protein for recovery, high in good fats, simple to make, and delicious.

Caffeine can do this to a lot of people...are you a coffee drinker? Caffeine + alcohol could be the culprit

ARCHIVED Help With Peer Issues At School
Mike7 replied to sharps45's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Seems like the common answer here is to bring a lunch and I agree. I brought lunches to high school even before I went on a gluten-free diet. This way you control what you eat and you can avoid the low grade nutrition from most HS cafeterias. Also, about avoiding the gluten-free diet -- think of your body as a BMW. You want to feed it with the best fuels... -
ARCHIVED Very Bad Day......
Mike7 replied to G-freegal12's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
My twin brother is probably the most annoying person on the face of this planet so I understand. I hope you feel better! -
I agree. Before I went gluten free, I had tried some Muscletech products with bad results. They should put more money into better quality products than their advertisement regime. Most consumers get sucked into the hype and claims printed on the containers from big companies like BSN and Muscletech. Anyways, typically Mass Gainers will almost always...

The blue flavor of Powerade, contains "Modified Food Starch" in the ingredient listing. I'm not sure about the other flavors, but for Celiacs, Modified Food Starch is a no-go if I am not mistaken.

Hey, we all get upset from time to time about having this condition. It is very hard for people to understand, but the trick is to find ways to make things work. Think of the bright side, you didn't get the unnecessarily calories and fat from those Blizzards your co-workers ate. Even if you are enjoying some gluten-free ice cream, it probably is much better...
