  1. I should have posted earlier about water consumption and perhaps I would have saved you a trip to the ER While you are drinking the recommended amount of water, please ask your primary care physician if you can take gluten-free supplements as well. Here's my short list, but make sure you get the green light from him: - Milk Thistle (cleanses the...
  2. I'm catching the EuroStar from London to Brussels two weeks from tomorrow. How psyched am I that they actually have a gluten free option that I just posted below? ------------------------ Special meals When booking Business Premier or Standard Premier we’ll ask you to tell us if you have any specific dietary requirements. You’ll be able to choose fro...
  3. Let's not talk eating right now, let's talk drinking (now that you are embarking upon the gluten free lifestyle) With that said, your system is in serious need of a flush. Now, I know this might sound like a lot but, try and drink 80+ ounces of water throughout the day. Here are some hints that will make more water consumption easier: - Add one...
  4. I know that you said you live in Canada, and that their are dozens of Costco's there. Do you have a membership? Please advise (it will work here) and I'll give you a complete list of what to buy. There's not one in Anaheim (where Disneyland is located) but Fullerton & Garden Grove have one. Secondly, hit Trader Joe's in the nearby cities close to...
  5. Yesterday First Breakfast: gluten-free oatmeal with PLUMP blackberries (work out) Second Breakfast: Egg white omelet with roasted red pepper, sun dried tomatoes, and low fat cheese. One low fat Artichoke & Parmesan chicken sausage. Mid morning snack: Non fat Greek yogurt with blueberries & protein shake Lunch: 2 Amy Lu Chicken chicken...
  6. The UK has such great retailers (M&S, Tesco, etc.) that have an abundance of beef, pork and lambs. Not to mention all of the great seafood from the north Atlantic. My suggestion to add a LEAN animal protein to everyone of your meals. (Breakfast, lunch and dinner). And from my visit to the UK in January, the aforementioned retailers deals on all of...
  7. Psssss.... I have a Chocolove Dark Chocolate bar with Sea Salt in my desk drawer and nosh on a square here and there throughout the day to help with my sweet tooth.
  8. Amen Trish! And although I have worked in the organic food business for 10+ years, being a Celiac has helped me EVEN better.
  9. First breakfast - Non-Fat Greek Yogurt with Blueberries (Work out) Second Breakfast - (1) Low fat chicken sausage, egg white omelet with veggies, (1) piece of gluten free bread Mid morning snack: Fuji apple with almond butter + protein shake Lunch: Pork tenderloin medallions (leftover from day before), gluten-free brown rice, steamed frozen veggies...
  10. With all of the snow we have been getting in Colorado lately, I may just need to pay a personal visit to our friend when I hit the mountains this weekend. Maybe even get him to say something on my camcorder. Stay tuned.
  11. Perhaps if he is a disbeliever in the effects that gluten/wheat has on us Celiacs, then we can set up a test as HIS house. He can observe our behaviors first hand. Oh and yes, dear chef, this IS a recipe for a lot of clean up that will prove our point.
  12. The Arvada Costco had it in the frozen section this past Saturday (2 pack). From my understanding (from the actual buyer at Costco) is that Rudi's is in ALL buildings in this particular region (CO, NM, AZ, UT, NV,& San Diego region). I can get you the item number when I get home tonight and you can bring it up to the manager.
  13. No problem. Costco is TOPS when it comes to customer service. In the future, if you have questions, feel free to call their 800 number (1-800-774-2678) and they will answer any and all questions. Just make sure that you look above the UPC code and provide the person with the actual item number.
  14. Take it from someone who actually supplies Costco with food items. Some of the more successful Kirkland brand items have been in the buildings for years (some instances DECADES). They approved the artwork that long ago... before there was so much attention on gluten intolerant and celiacs like us. My guess is that is the reason why it's not labeled gluten...
  15. Sometimes some self deprecating humor can help... so here goes. Before I was diagnosed with Celiac disease, I had the same issues with running. Thankfully, we get somewhat of a notice when the gut issues are about to hit or the "dam is about to give" but it usually is only about 15-30 seconds. So, I used to run on the path on the beach in California...
  16. When it comes to protein powders or even food... less is more. Opt for the least amount of ingredients. And, if there is some sort of chemical/additive/binder/extender that you have NO idea what it is... put it back on the shelf. Good luck!
  17. Don't discount a good carb bulk about 45 minutes prior to a work out. I opt for gluten free oats + fresh blueberries/raspberries + teaspoon of PURE maple syrup. About 15 minutes after you eat that, hit the pre-work out protein shake. And then....... (RRRrrrrrrooaaaarrrr!) Where are the free weights! LOL
  18. Good insights on fat and FRESH PRODUCE (unprocessed and preferably all natural). And, don't discount the awesome frozen fruits and vegetables as well. What a lot of people don't understand is that you need fat to build muscle. It's true. That's why I try to eat a little more fat in the winter and then go lean, lean, lean just as the winter is starting...
  19. PS - Don't forget to load up each meal with plenty of fruits and vegetables. Also, add some good gluten-free carbs (organic brown rice, quinoa, black beans, etc.) with each meal.
  20. Although I really like gluten-free protein powders (before/after workouts & during the day), don't rely on shakes to provide the building blocks for muscle growth. Instead, make sure that you are getting LEAN animal protein with every meal. Examples: Breakfast: Egg white omelet with an all natural chicken sausage (less than one gram of fat) ...
  21. We all are born with a sweet tooth. You just need to feed that "tooth" something sweet without the aforementioned High Fructose Corn Syrup or even sugar. Here are some suggestions for snacks that can be substituted for candy, but still taste sweet: - Dried mangoes (no sugar added) - Fresh blueberries - Non fat Greek yogurt (fruit variety) - Pomegranate...
  22. I have a near and dear friend who is a buyer at Sam's Club. Years ago, I convinced him to add "Gluten Free" to the label of all of their Member's Mark chicken sausages. So while shopping at Sam's, rest assured that if their packages say "Gluten Free" they are indeed safe. (Not to mention the fact that most of the chicken sausage links have less than...
  23. I actually traveled to Canada earlier this quarter on business and had Schnitzer Brau German-Hirse. Probably the most authentic gluten-free beer that I have ever had. I hope they will start exporting to the U.S.
  24. AmyNColorado.... my fellow Colorado carnivorous friend: I literally buy both of those on my near-weekly Costco shopping trips. Rest assured, they are 100% gluten free. I also wanted to let you know that one of the senior buyers in our Costco region is gluten intolerant. We have an ally in our court! In fact, she was personally responsible for bringing...
  25. What type (even if minor) exercise to you get each day? - Ride a bike? - Short walks? - Cardio? - Treadmill You would be surprise how many calories and fat can be burned with just a 25 minute walk around the neighborhood.
