    Thanks for the note. You may have something similar to me - and may need kind of medication for the D. Once I started taking the Cholestramine (Questran)the diarrhea and the intolerances have gone. Maybe you have an infection (possibly C-Diff)?

    I've wondered about this myself. I'm Type A+. I do know that green beans are very agreeable for me, and that other beans don't cause any issues others have reported (not even gas! ...and I'm prone to gassiness). I've also had issues with meat, though not consistently. Potatoes don't do me much good, but I love 'em too much. I might have to take a look...

    Can I just put a glob (or 50 ;D) of peanut butter on a cookie sheet and bake it? I mean, without it becoming some kind of horrific science experiment or something? Or would it just end up being something you'd need a spoon for (which is ok by me)? Just wondering.

    Yes, just this week! I got picked to be on the jury (civil trial), and on the fourth day during testimony I had to pee reaaallly bad, and we were able to stop proceedings to take a bathroom break (turns out I wasn't the only one who needed it, either!). The jury room had two bathrooms. They had no refrigeration or microwaves so I brought stuff like tuna...

    You've definitely piqued my curiosity here. What specific brand of vitamin do you take, and where can I find it? I looked up "whole food vitamin" on teh googles and got a lot of results that resemble spam too closely.

    I used to cough after eating all the time. There were a few times when I'd cough a lot for no apparent reason and the doc gave me antibiotics and steroids (a short course) when I went to make sure that I wasn't dying or something. Is it a dry cough? At any rate, for me, that was the first thing to go when I went gluten-free. And I don't cough much anymore...

    One thing that should be added is that you can have "normal" blood b12 levels and still be deficient (well, that's true of plenty of things, not just b12...). The first time I got mine checked I was 300; thankfully the doc saw that was too low despite the lab reference range low being 200. The second time I got my b12 checked I was 800 something, and the...

    I had times where I would lay in bed wanting to die, and the next day be ok. Sometimes after such a night, I actually would ask myself, "Do I still want to die?" when I woke up. The answer was sometimes yes, but other times I realized that no, I don't still want to die. I knew that this was wacked. I also had the uncontrollable rages and massive emotional...

    I used: Egg Brown rice bread crumbs (I think the brand is called Hol-Grain and it's just ground brown rice) Garlic, salt, and Italian seasoning Of course, green beans For added health benefits, fried in bacon grease. I'm going to play around with this, because some of these ingredients can be a little tough on the digestive system (I...

    I know what to make you if you ever come over! It was something that hinted at being good and then quickly became ewww-tastic to me, which is why I'm so quick to believe it's something I'd like prepared another way. Definitely trying the cinnamon. Maybe embracing the "sweet" is what'll make the difference.

    They're not even maintenance for me, let alone therapeutic. One multi turned my pee this horrid bright yellow color, and gave me diarrhea on top of that! Another just gave me stomach pain. :\ But the 1mg of sublingual b12 has never been a problem, and is now really awesome. Bonus points for taking 3-4. But the b12 never seemed to be that helpful that quick...

    My method at the moment is throwing whatever veggies and meat (and seasoning) I like (or want to give a try) in the pot. Veggies like green beans and snow peas should (probably) be added no earlier than an hour before finish time (I added them in 2 hours before and they were only vaguely green, lol), but those sorts of veggies are a very wonderful addition...

    Learning to embrace the veggies

  14. cO-ol
    Well my first crock pot dish was a little overcooked, but still very tasty (it looks awful though but I've not been one for presentation ). But I can do this, yes indeedy.
  15. cO-ol
    I have a sweet potato lying around. I fried cut up sweet potato pieces in olive oil (with some seasonings); I hated it. I had some kind of mashed sweet potato dish one Thanksgiving. Hated that too. However, knowing how veggies are, it may be that I can do something such that the sweet potato doesn't have its "default" flavor (like tomatoes in salsa, say)...

    So when I remember to take my vitamins, I feel better! ESPECIALLY true for B vitamins. In fact, if I consume my non-gluten "bad stuff" my belly will grumble a little, but I won't be the moody mess I typically am. I always had an issue remembering to take my vitamins, so I don't know how accurate my perception is of this, but it *seems* like my body...
  17. cO-ol
    Yeah, I think once I get the hang of it, and am capable of always making stuff to my liking this will definitely something I rely on (metric?) tons. I (well, mom and dad, technically, but I'm notorious for "taking over" stuff of theirs shhhhhh) have 2 crockpots; this is probably a verrrry good thing.

    ARCHIVED Music

    cO-ol posted a topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff

    There should be a music thread in here, I say. I looooove music, I have a decent variety in my taste, though I do often tend to go for artists that can draw a huge group of white people together for non-religious, non-U.S.-Republican purposes (not intentionally, of course). Recently, I've been on a K-Pop kick. I speak basically no Korean, but that doesn...

    Thanks for the replies! I'm about to give away my n00bishness here: So, I can just throw, say, beef and my favorite veggies in the crockpot with water and be set (oh, and season it, of course, right?)? If I did this without stock or anything of that nature that requires making/cooking beforehand, would/could it still yield a tasty product provided I seasoned...
  20. cO-ol
    Right, should have stated that from the get-go. My bad. Well, I need to avoid dairy, soy, corn, yeast and probably nightshades. I think beef is the best meat for me, and my favorite veggie is green beans.
  21. cO-ol
    I've wanted to make some kind of stew or soup or something of that nature, but it has to be the kind of thing where I can just put in all the ingredients at once without having to cook something else first. As in, if, say, I had to make a stock before I could make the stew (and I couldn't do premade; there's nothing premade that doesn't have something disagreeable...

    I am grateful That I still live with mom and dad and am not homeless/totally broke despite the terrible wages my job provides For the Internet! From good music to this support group to good blogs, the Internet makes my life bearable That I live in an area with a co-op and a "health nut" (I use the term lovingly) community

    Xanthan gum itself is gluten-free, but be sure to check the rest of the ingredients on the label. I believe it's used as a thickener of sorts, often in place of wheat.

    So much for getting the hang of this. Argh!

    ARCHIVED Nausea

    cO-ol posted a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    I've been nauseous the past 3 days--it's been so bad I had to miss work. On top of that, I have the mood swings from hell. My belly hurts a little. Admittedly, I'd been eating a lot of candy, but I had none yesterday, nor today, and the nausea is still there, as bad as ever. Although yesterday and today I ate some bacon (which didn't cause any mood swings...
