    Hmm, well I don't really eat much processed food except for Udi's bread for lunch sandwiches and sometimes I will get trader joe's english muffins for breakfasts, and rice pasta. But other then that, I am pretty good and shopping on the outside aisles. No candy or anything like that, no chocolate, no dairy except for goat's milk in my black tea. No dried...

    Tonight I am going to try creating a gluten free teriyaki sauce. All of the premade sauces have gluten in them and I have tried using gluten-free soy suace + honey + sesame oil. That combo is pretty good but it's still not quite teriyaki. I did some research and this time I'm going to try splashing in some Mirin and fish sauce!

    Hi all, Well I've been gluten-free since November so about..2 months now. I've seen a lot of comments around here about women finally loosing their belly "pooch" after being gluten free. I'm very interested in that because I've had a pooch for a long time now though I am 28 and have no children. Unless I have perfect posture (shoulders back, boobs out...

    Tonight I cooked my first steak I used this marinade: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Savory-Garlic-Marinated-Steaks/Detail.aspx Turned out pretty good! I also roasted some small potatoes and carrots with o.oil and herbs in the oven @425 until they looked done. The carrots were so sweet!

    Last night I made stuffed acorn squash. The filling was a smokey-apple chicken sausage from TJ's, onion, carrots, garlic, butter and herbs. Baked @ 400 for 50mins.

    Tonight I made a basic meatsauce to go on top of TJ's rice pasta. Tasty & easy! Basically I put a whole onion in the food processor and sauteed it with 1lb of TJ's ground beef until it browned, added a can of tomato sauce and a small can of tomato paste, a cup of water, tsp sugar, tsp salt, and various dried herbs. I had one serving and my boyfriend inhaled...

    I was just diagnosed a few weeks ago and I hate feeling left out, too. Or like I'm making things really complicated for everyone. But we have to take care of ourselves. I'm sure your friends and youthgroup wouldn't want to feel bad about it. Maybe talk to you mom and ask her to talk to your youth minister? Donuts aren't that healthy anyways Maybe it's time...

    ARCHIVED Trader Joes

    jess-gf replied to K8ling's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    TJ's has a hearty and tasty gluten-free lentil soup and gluten-free chicken meatballs in the refridge section. Their brown rice pasta is good, and they have gluten-free pasta sauce too. Hmm they also have gluten-free vanilla merengue cookies I've been nomming for about a week! At my TJ's they have lots of gluten-free food interspersed with the mainstream...

    That sounds delish! I've never heard of Irish Davy Boy's though. I'll have to keep my eyes open for it! My crockpot chicken turned out pretty well - but turned into more of a soup there was so much liquid! And I barely added any in the beginning, maybe 1/4thcup of oj and 1 orange squeezed. The meat was very tender though. Maybe I'll just add some...

    What about those little mini bananas? Clementines are in season and are fun to eat. Those kinda come in their own packaging I've seen pre-packaged baby carrots, grapes, and apple slices too. Do they make soy string cheese?
  11. jess-gf
    Hmm I'll have to try those soup suggestions. Thanks guys Tonight I am using my crockpot again, I love that thing! I'm cooking a whole chicken in there (though I bought it already in pieces). I'm following this recipe http://allrecipes.com//Recipe/baked-slow-cooker-chicken/Detail.aspx but I added in some potatos and carrots at the bottom.. just realized...

    I have a question. I have some leftover pot roast, a box of opened beef stock I don't think I'll use within a week, and some leftover tinkyada noodles. Can I made a soup out of this stuff? Or should I freeze it?

    I'm starting to feel better now, thankfully. I felt like crap for days after. I am totally with you on using this forum's search tool - I use it every day! I have a laptop downstairs near the kitchen and whenever I have a question about what I can eat, or what I could buy to make to eat I do a search. This place is a great resource! What I am most anxious...

    I second nuts and nut butters, healthy oils, avocado would probably be good too. Maybe try cooking with some full-fat coconut milk? yum. Oh I have had this before and it's quite tasty: coconut milk ice cream, no dairy no soy: Open Original Shared Link

    ARCHIVED Hair Loss...?

    jess-gf replied to AJoy's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    My hair stylist noticed this about my hair too a few months ago. I think over the past year I've just been slowly loosing hair whenever I wash it or comb or brush it, regardless of knots. Fortunately I have a ton of hair and nobody really notices it except for me and my hair lady. I'm just assuming it was from malnutrition and I'm hoping that soon it will...

    When I asked my GI about stopping eating Gluten before my Endo, he said that 2 weeks would not be long enough for it to completely heal (my endo appointment was within 2 weeks of the initial visit). I had not been gluten free at all up until that point, however, and my blood tests backed up Celiac. If you've only been gluten free for 10 days and your endo...

    Sounds like you need a secret stash!

    Should I get additional b12 if my gummy multi has some in it? My gummy has "Vitamin B-12 (as Cyanocobalamin) 6 mcg - 100%"
  19. jess-gf
    I also found some cheap b12 lozenges that dissolve under your tongue, which is nice for me because I hate swallowing pills - makes me feel like I'm about to choke Open Original Shared Link Not sure if they're gluten-free though: "Other Ingredients: Sorbitol, Natural Flavors and Magnesium Stearate" Maybe I'll just go with SourceNaturals again and pay...

    I made one with crushed up Gluten-Free ginger snaps. I just whirred a whole bag full in the food processor, added in about 4tbsps of melter butter, 1tsp of sugar, patted it into the pie pan. I forget what I baked it at, but it was only for about 5 mins to brown the crust. It can over-brown easily I found, so you have to keep an eye on it.
  21. jess-gf
    Wow, VitaCost has some good deals it seems. SourceNaturals appears to be gluten free. I found some L-Glutamine and Bromelaine I'm thinking about getting. Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link

    "Heat-sealed tea bag paper usually has a heat-sealable thermoplastic such as PVC or polypropylene, as a component fiber on inner side of the tea bag surface." says Open Original Shared Link So it's.. plastic?

    My adventures in meat continue with a pot roast recipe that looks easy enough that I can do it: http://simplyrecipes.com/recipes/pot_roast/ I'm making it in a crockpot - I didn't have any red wine so instead I used 1/4c beef stock 1/4c sherry and I added 1 tsp cinnamon as one commenter suggested (I love cinnamon!). This is my first pot roast ever so we...

    Will tinyurl work? The article is here Open Original Shared Link I read it, but I'm still not sure :/ There was a comment on the article saying it was untrue. Gah. I must do some more research. It would be nice to be able to drink all of my teas again, I have quite a stash!
  25. jess-gf
    Hmm.. I have a bottle of Acidophilus in the fridge, I could start taking that regularly too.
