    I wrap everything I steam in aluminum foil. Even then, sometimes sauces boil over. Rice cookers are so cheap (under $20 around here) that it makes sense to not take the risk of cross-contamination.

    Maybe I'm one of them!

    My favorite: ALIENS. By far. Probably the truth. It's the only logical explanation.
  4. Emilushka
    Uh oh. It might not actually be an annatto problem because I've been eating plenty of Earth Balance without difficulties, and Earth Balance has annatto. MY BODY IS INSANE. What in the WHAT.

    I've actually read elsewhere that they sometimes put it into white cheese to warm the color a bit, so be careful and check every cheese if there's an annatto but not a dairy issue.

    I hear you. I LOVE LOVE LOVE CHEESE TOO. But I can't eat it. FOR NOW. We are telling ourselves over here in this house that I'll be hopefully able to eat it within a year of going gluten-free. No guarantees, but there's a hope. If you're still having issues, try a dairy-free diet. It made a world of difference for me and might for you - if it doesn't...

    Do you also have an annatto sensitivity? It's definitely separate from a gluten problem.

    Thanks! Congratulations to you too. :-) Edited to fix a smiley because my typing ability seems to deteriorate as the week goes on ...

    Thank you for the links! I've basically decided to eat as many "whole foods" and home-cooked foods as possible. I do well when I avoid processed foods. Fewer sneaky ingredients that way. I can't think of any other way to handle it without getting sick often, and I hate feeling ill.

    We tend to buy nuts, eggs, rice, and quinoa at Costco. We used to buy their soy milk but they changed the packaging and I really dislike the new packaging because it causes waste, so we may stop doing that. The quinoa I get at Costco is the best deal on quinoa I have found ANYWHERE.

    ANSWER: annatto intolerance Which I NEVER would have come up with if I didn't have the help of the forum, so thank you a zillion million trillion times for that! I can eat the Ore Ida hash browns (no annatto) without any problems, so it's not just an Ore Ida product issue. I can eat normal potatoes (homemade, cooked from scratch, fried) without any...

    La Choy soy sauce and Kroger brand soy sauce are the two I've used that are gluten-free. Was it one of those? I can vouch for those two.

    We bought an air popper and now we just use that with our bulk-purchased unpopped kernels. It's easier when you know EXACTLY what goes into your popcorn.
  14. Emilushka
    I love brown rice. Tasty stuff and totally gluten-free!
  15. Emilushka
    What about cutting out all dairy? Maybe you're casein intolerant, not just lactose. That would explain why the lactaid supplements weren't doing it for you and the popcorn caused problems.
  16. Emilushka
    You have your diagnosis? Is there any reason in the world for you to keep eating foods with gluten? The first step is usually to go gluten-free.
  17. Emilushka
    I honestly haven't tried any aspirin in years, so I don't know about sensitivity to it. I haven't been able to eat dairy since I first got diagnosed with Celiac, so I don't know about yellow cheeses. From my experience it's been any and all cheeses, but I wonder if I just wasn't being scientific enough with my testing of cheeses ... I'll consider that when...

    Are you sure you're not being continuously glutened or repeatedly glutened? For me, recovery from a single glutening takes 1-7 days (depending on how much gluten I ingest, and only including up to 2 bites of wheat pasta). Everybody's different, though. Have you had previous glutening episodes that were different from this?
  19. Emilushka
    Yeah. Seriously. And I thought I had it all figured out in terms of what my body tolerated and didn't! Phooey.
  20. Emilushka
    So it's definitely not a gluten issue! I wonder what it is, then? Now I just feel confused and like maybe my immune system has finally gone completely bonkers. Had potatoes for lunch today (not Ore Ida - just normal ones) and we'll see how that goes. Maybe it's anything with potato. I'll let you know tomorrow. So far, no reaction. Maybe it's the annato...

    Also a good thought, but these are new pans with fresh tin foil put down on top of them with every use (my hubby is great about trying to minimize any possible cross contamination - he's not Celiac, but he's incredibly supportive and he hates to see me sick). I got rid of the gluten pans too. I don't trust them.

    I drink soy milk daily. I'm pretty clear on being able to tolerate soy, thankfully. Otherwise, what would I put in my coffee? Life would get complicated. ;-) ETA: The more people weigh in, the more it sounds like something weird that only my body is doing. If nobody else is reacting to the Ore Ida products, there must be something else about them that...
  23. Emilushka
    It was definitely not from a previous glutening and the Ore Ida fries were the only new thing I'd tried. I gave myself time off, then checked again and had the same results.
  24. Emilushka
    I've actually been OK with other potatoes, as far as I can tell. It's specifically when I eat Ore Ida potato products that I get a reaction. But I will double-check again by eating a plain potato, just to be sure. I sincerely hope I can keep eating tomatoes and peppers ... sheesh. If I couldn't eat those, I would definitely cry.
  25. Emilushka
    Ore Ida has a gluten-free product list that is very long. I decided to try these tasty products, and after some careful testing I'm pretty sure the product list is both long and inaccurate. With the current severity of my symptoms I'm thinking it's more of a minor ingredient issue, maybe even cross-contamination due to same machinery or something similar...
