  1. Just something that my SO brought up the other day...he wants to make an earthquake kit or something like that in case something happens and he wanted to know what we could put in it that didn't have gluten so if we get stuck in some sort of disaster that we could survive and I wouldn't have to get sick!!! Totally sweet of him to think of that, not really...
  2. @loves2eat, I've never had a Krispi Kreme donut, either...I live in Canada, and RANDOMLY they had them at work a few days after I went gluten-free..seriously, people! LOL I did not give in to temptation...I tend to prefer savory anyhow. As everyone else, I definitely miss convenience. What I was just thinking to myself as I was eating my apple and thinking...
  3. mmmm I love almond milk...especially chocolate almond milk, I think it would work just fine! I'm pretty new to gluten-free baking, so I'm not sure about the bitterness...the arrowroot is just for thickening, really, so if tapioca flour does the same job, then that should work, too...Guess I'll be experimenting
  4. Stage three: Not wanting to share gluten-free food. LOL Yeah, my fiance was with me through the worst, I ended up in the hospital twice, needing rehydration...I've lost weight from the disease, and I was so frail and weak that he told me he was going to fatten me up so that it would create a "fat buffer" so it's not so dangerous the next time I get...
  5. we're allowed to post recipes that we get from magazines or cookbooks, right? Well, the yam fries were my own simple recipe: just cut up the yams, tossed with a bit of olive oil, chile/chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, cinnamon, and a touch of raw sugar (would have used brown sugar, but mine is contaminated because I put a piece of bread in it to...
  6. Yes, your post is encouraging as I lie here awake since 5am lol But I hope you found out what was glutening you!
  7. In a different thread someone said that carbs can be hard to digest while healing? Is this true? I'm going to my pharmacist today to see what we can do about my meds
  8. I'm only two weeks in and I feel the same way, I've said a few times "maybe I'll just stop eating". But I'm a person who really likes food, as well, my bf's in the past have always liked that I actually EAT! Anyways, I didn't know that carbs could be difficult to digest when healing?
  9. You're right, I just don't think he's ready, yet. Maybe in time, but I feel like it's kind of a lot to ask, anyways. We'll figure it out, I'm sure. He did something really sweet today that made me feel very supported, so I'm very thankful for that!
  10. LOL I know, my SO pretty much could use his own separate fridge, he's so big (6'10"), if only there was room! I don't think he'd actually eat ALL of something of mine, at least. And I guess I'll be looking for a new toaster oven... He says now and then that he's going to go gluten-free, but he hasn't done it, yet.
  11. I made a really great sirloin with tomato-balsamic reduction, roasted yam fries w/creamy garlic mustard dip, and roasted fennel with parmesan...so fantastic! (have recipes if interested)
  12. Mocha Pudding Ingredients:
  13. I've had anxiety all my life, and it's true, that having a plan in place is important. Even with the amount of anxiety attacks I've survived, I still forget what helps sometimes when I'm in the depths of bad anxiety. KNOWING THAT IT WILL PASS has been the most helpful for me. It used to feel like I was going to die, and knowing that I just have to wait...
  14. So I'm 2 weeks gluten-free...debating going dairy free, too. Started being more consisten with keeping a food diary the last couple days because I still have symptoms, but not long enough to figure out what's making me sick, yet. It could be dairy...it could be my medication. The pharmacist said my bcp and 2 of my other meds have a small amount of gluten...
  15. It's a toaster oven, so the tray is removable to be washed...I was hoping that was good enough, but I guess not? Yikes, where will I find room for another toaster oven Ohhh, I know this will get better, but pretty frustrating right now....as I sit here with a belly so bloated I look 6 months pregnant But everyone is right about the "sharing" thing.....
  16. LOL It's so TRUE!! I don't even MEAN to, but when I was making gluten-free toast this morning and he said "oooo, can I have some, too?" I immediately clenched up as well. I made it for him, but my body's automatic emotional reaction was definitely not positive LOL Guess I'll just keep trying, too!!!
  17. Maybe it's silly, but I get this jealous/angry feeling when my SO wants to eat my gluten-free food. He really likes most of it, especially the stuff from the gluten-free bakery, but I don't really think it's fair because it's ALL I can eat, whereas he can eat WHATEVER he wants, and his food is inexpensive and easily accessible. To take out the money issue...
  18. wow, I didn't think my nausea and vomiting could be explained by celiac! My bloodwork showed gluten sensitivity, just waiting to see specialist, more tests, and get things confirmed; but I was very worried that something worse was going on because I get nauseous and puke a lot after eating....or did while consuming gluten. I've puked two, maybe three times...
  19. Sigh, I hate that any of us are going through this withdrawal, but honestly am comforted that I am not the only one. I almost went off the deep end last week, super irritable, brain fog, crappy memory, my depression, anxiety, and insomnia are worse and my skin is more sensitive than before. I'm into week two and still not feeling great...really tired, mood...
