  1. Hi Bobby D How were you diagnosed with gluten intolerance?
  2. I own this ATK cookbook, I gave it to 2 friends as gifts and I admit I have not made a single thing from it yet. but that's only because my thighs do not need any of those things right now. I also own several other cookbooks, several gluten-free ones too and I love to recipe search, adapt and create. Even though I am a decent cook and baker, we never...
  3. What kind of mastocytosis do you have? Cutaneous or systemic? (that's pretty rare, isn't it?) I was told that only a biopsy will render a definitive diagnosis of cutaneous mastocytosis. Perhaps this was wrong....is this not the case? Open Original Shared Link Thanks for any info you can give.
  4. but just to be clear to those who may reading this thread.. that's because you are also diagnosed with mastocytosis and therefore, those foods cause problems for you. (I know because I have MCAS) but those foods/beverages are usually tolerated by celiacs. BarryC has told us already that he does not have celiac, but he may have a gut issue. And...
  5. This is why I use pure maple syrup. I'm in the camp that eats/cooks with pure foods, certified G F foods or foods from companies that label their products clearly. You can figure this out, too. I promise. The links Karen and Peter posted---both excellent sources of info. "natural flavor, natural flavoring, and flavoring may be derived from gluten...
  6. You poor booboo.. . damn fleas.. !! sorry, kid. (hug) and bacon.
  7. She's using the recipe from America's Test Kitchen's "How can It be Gluten Free" cookbook, hon. Maybe we can cut and paste it from the website. I'll take a look. Okay, I'm back. They are willing to give some "freebie info" away.... but that EM recipe is not there. http://howcanitbeglutenfree.com/gluten-free-recipes/ maybe Addy will...
  8. J and I made english muffins more than once and I thought they just tasted like any other homemade G F bread product...like a fluffy roll. Did you think they were "English muffins" for "reals"? . Now, are these from the America's Test Kitchen G F cookbook that you are blazing through? I do. I pay $8 for them--- because my hubs really ...
  9. When I drink wine and champagne, I sometimes get "flushed" from it. It's not gluten. It's the sulfites and the histamine. I have an intolerance for those but if I consume just a small amount, I suffer no consequences. My doctor has told me it's all about finding your tolerance level. However, I can drink spirits like gin or vodka and not be affected...
  10. I've got bacon for our burgers too and...bacon for brunch tomorrow...I say why not! Of course it can be "bacon weekend"..!! We make our own rules here. Much like our birthdays...we can't celebrate something so important on just one day!
  11. We did too. A chebe pizza with sauteed onions, mushrooms and BACON. P.S. . I only tried the optional cheese in the crust once, I prefer it without. Tonight will be equally simple. Burgers & fries. Still not very hungry, but the hubs has rebounded and he's a hungry dude now. lol He can make burgers on the grill for us. He grabbed some Udi...
  12. Bone broth is ridiculously easy to make and better than any processed stocks. It will not heal your gut miraculously, but it does aid in digestion and is a good source of collagen, glucosamine, calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus and, they are in a form that is easily absorbed by the body. here's an easy recipe, with instructions and pictures: Open...
  13. Even though I can't eat right now, I am so happy to read your post this morning and pretend I am eating with you. I told these guys I heard from you a few times and that you were transitioning well to your new home, but it's not the same as having you here "back at the dinner table" with us xxoo Still feeling lousy, Going to make soup in the slow...
  14. Gracie wandered the woods in NY and never had a single flea. None of the cats either.....until the last year we were there.Started seeing fleas on our feet as we walked on the carpet. Dang! so, what happened? We had used Frontline for years, then Advantage. Then, the flea infestation. Our vet encouraged us to switch up treatments. She felt they...
  15. that math guy you've got now....looks like me when I am doing anything harder than simple "goes intos"....lol Slow cooker...HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!! love it.
  16. he's adorbs, but I liked the tiny bug thinger she had crawling around last week better.
  17. yes, I am already on it. lol thx, hon. get well soon.
  18. I agree...and in addition to doing all those things you mentioned, mine also does the vacuuming, the grilling and actually likes to grocery shop. I do these things too---but he is very good about "sharing" the load. He quickly learned to label- read too.Took the time to learn how to check ingredients. . ...oh, and he can make bread. and he brews beer...
  19. SMRI Ask for oil and vinegar next time for your salad. No need to eat it dry.
  20. sure cure for the grumpies? adopt a cute dog.
  21. but, which B? B-12, B6? B1? B3? B5? B7?...... because there are eight B vitamins, including Folate which is B9. Country Life makes certified G F vitamins. depending on how low your levels were, a good Multi B complex, 2000Ius of D3 and some folic acid should do it however, you will need to be retested in 3 months to see if the levels come...
  22. You did a very good thing! (just do not be upset if they do not follow through with testing, ok?) I used to get myself all crazy when family and friends did not follow through and one day I just let it go. If they need me/want any further advice, they know I'll be here for them. "You can lead the horse to water, but you can't hold his head under...
  23. But they don't have plastic bags in 18th century colonial Williamsburg soap shops. sillypants.
