  1. I got some spinach in the store that came with almonds and dried blueberries and that's good stuff idk why I never thought to put sunflower seed butter on apples, what a good idea (I need to get some of that now) I like snow peas ok and sugar snap peas a lot
  2. I can afford a microwave, I just have nowhere to put it, space-wise. I had to choose between a microwave or a toaster oven, and I like the toaster oven better...
  3. if I can make it another two weeks, I have a psychiatrist appointment, and seeing as I've had this same problem on and off since 2008, it's probably time to try medication. good idea about the mini bell peppers, I like peppers, and there's gluten free hummus everywhere around here. I was avoiding peanuts but I can get my butt to whole foods and get...
  4. some of that stuff is too much work. sometimes, either I can pull it out of the package and eat it, or I don't eat. obviously when I feel well I cook huge batches of things but the problem is getting worse, not better.
  5. eggs are pretty cheap. nuts, not so much. I have trouble with fats but I'll keep buying them for snacking on in the office. crock pot, don't have it but have been meaning to get one. I guess if I get the little potatoes I don't have to chop them up even. I do have some frozen veg I could just cook in a pot I guess. I'm having trouble with the motivation...
  6. hi, I am gluten-free, soy-free, and dairy-free. I have severe depression and most days do not have the energy nor inclination to cook from scratch like I usually do. Eating at or ordering from restaurants gives me too much anxiety about CC that it's not worth it, unless the entire place is gluten-free. I've been eating crap like rice cakes, bologna...
  7. Things are actually going really well, otherwise! My mouth and eyes don't feel *dry* really. And my mouth is fine, other than the occasional canker sore (which I cure with probiotics, and sensitive teeth. I've had my thyroid tested in the past, and it was always normal, altho' I couldn't tell you any more than that. I do have muscle fatigue but...
  8. So, I've been gluten free for many years and I am very strict about it. Recently--for the past month I'm guessing--I've been having trouble with blurry vision, eye pain, and strain headaches. This was a pre-celiac symptom every single night that went away slowly when my diet changed. I used to have this problem every night, but now I only have it...
  9. you can "overdose" on foods that are 20 ppm if you eat too many/much of them and end up with a gluten reaction. some super sensitive celiacs cannot handle one serving of a food that is labelled 20 ppm. others can handle several. others can handle quite a lot.
  10. If it is oily as well, or if it's floating D, then it's probably undigested fat. If it's normal but just floating, it just has to do with your diet. Vegetarians have that problem iirc.
  11. Depending on how long you were poisoning yourself, it could take years for the villi to heal. There's also the possibility that something else flattens villi--isn't there? Doesn't casein do it for some people? (just looked it up--seems rare, but it's a thing that can happen) Obviously being as strict as possible can only help you. If you don't mind...
  12. my thoughts: 1. Celiac disease was first described in ancient Rome by a physician named Galen in like 250 AD. WAY before the advent of genetically modified/specially bred wheat varieties. 2. Spelt is also considered a "heritage" cereal and is just as toxic to celiacs as regular wheat, barley, and rye. There is definitely something about our modern...
  13. disposable "lunch lady" gloves for making gluten lunches?
  14. wouldn't it be nice if we could just eat gray mush every morning and it would fill our stomachs and provide us with all the nutrition we need for the day? or, better yet, a series of pills, pop pop pop all the nutrients you need and you won't feel hungry any more ever. I wish it were like that instead
  15. p.s. one thing that helped me to get rid of some massive ones that came with a flu was putting acidophilus on them. I bought the acidophilus pills in the store, broke open the powder into my mouth and left it there overnight each night. they were much smaller over about three days and mostly gone by four or five. that stuff did taste pretty weird tho ...
  16. I get them when I'm sick and apparently when glutened i also get sore gums and teeth so it's all related i think.
  17. I hope you feel better soon. I've been there.

  18. give it time. it took 9-12 months for me to feel, like, normal on a regular basis except now i'm sick from some kind of contamination a few days ago, yaaaaaaaay (not) luckily each new exposure doesn't set you back for years since the reaction is proportional to the exposure cheers and feel well ok
  19. current symptoms: intense fatigue, bleeding/sore gums, headache, blurred vision, stiff neck, muscle pains, emotional. I've been sleeping or otherwise in bed on my laptop for three days now. I have no idea what "got" me but i think it was the gluten-free soup and bread at the little crumby cafe I risked eating at in Oxford. I didn't trust them with CC to...
  20. man, that sucks. i would suggest an elimination diet for that kind of problem. but whatever you do, give up the soy for a few months. soy is evil.
  21. Opposite for me. i used to have pains so bad i couldn't walk, and they'd start 3 days before my period did and stop 3 days after. so i was super irregular, but i always knew before my period came when it was due because my back would hurt like crazy for 3 days beforehand. now i'm super irregular still but i just start bleeding and i don't even notice until...
  22. last I checked, paper was made from trees, and wax was made from either bee vomit, fruit, or chemicals.
  23. if I were you and had taken a sip of it mistakenly I might have walked out the door telling them I felt sick and goodbye. I've had lots of cider in my day though, can definitely tell the difference from beer, which I never liked even before celiac . . . like the guy above me said, it shouldn't have any foam to it at all. and usually it's more orange.
  24. if I were you, I'd eat the max recommended amount of fish per week, and mix it up between big fresh-catch predator fish like tuna and salmon and farmed fish like mackerel etc. they both have chemical problems but the problems are different, idk. plain eggs tend to give me heartburn, but if they don't for you, eggs are great protein, especially the yolks...
