    Spa day is done and we had a wonderful time! I got strawberries blended with ice and water (no dairy). It wasn't quite as good as the one with yogurt, but better safe than sorry. And it was more about the experience, anyway, and having a nice, normal, relaxing day with my boyfriend.

    I had stopped taking my probiotics after my biopsy. My doctor said I probably wouldn't need them, and I figured that I wasn't taking in the nutrients anyway. But I did start taking them again about a week ago to see if they would help (they are gluten-free). I stopped eating raw vegetables a few weeks ago and cook them to help digest easier. Also gave...

    I'm a little over two months gluten free, and I'm getting stomach aches every few days. I'm in the fitness industry and know a lot about nutrition, so I'm making sure I'm doing it right. Lots of whole foods, no dairy, and no processed foods. I'm being very careful with my kitchen utensils and CC issues, too. For a few of these stomach aches, I found possible...

    I completely agree with your top two. It was actually good for me to read #2 today, because I feel like a mess. I've been sick and bloated for the past three days, not knowing where this reaction is coming from. I've gotten rid of a lot of foods recently that I thought could be causing my frequent reactions, but maybe because my body is still healing, it...

    My boyfriend and I just finished eating - steak with steamed broccoli and bell peppers. First time making steak and it was great! My boyfriend loved it. He's learning about my diet so when he found out that steak is naturally gluten free he was a very happy camper

    Dove chocolate was my favorite before going gluten free, and luckily all of their chocolates are safe (and absolutely delicious!)

    That's awesome! I didn't know that so thanks.

    I just spoke with the people at the spa. They don't let outside food in (that's not gonna stop me from having a protein bar and nuts in my bag though), but they said they also make smoothies with just fruit, water and ice. So I'm set. And I'm not worried about a CC issue because at this juice bar they only use fresh fruit, water, milk, and yogurt....
  9. WinterSong
    Yeah, that's exactly what I'm concerned about. Hmmm....I wonder if I could find some dairy free yogurt, bring it with me, and ask them to use that instead....

    I went off dairy shortly after going gluten-free about two months ago. I was eating greek yogurt and cheese, and it was giving me a stomach ache. I've been able to handle trace amounts of milk in protein bars and butter/chocolate chips in the cookies I occasionally make. My boyfriend and I are going to a day spa this weekend, and there aren't many gluten...

    This is the recipe that I use, and they taste just like nestle cookies. Only difference is they came out a little flatter but when I put them in a tupperware container they stayed soft. They're really easy and delicious and my boyfriend couldn't tell the difference between these and my old gluten-filled cookies! He requested that I make them again this weekend...
  12. WinterSong
    Sure thing! I love sharing my recipes! Almond/flax bread (no yeast): Buckwheat bread (uses yeast): Let me know how you like them if you decide to try them out!
  13. WinterSong
    Haha, so I kept having a reaction, and I've decided to just stop eating Udi's altogether. I baked two batches of bread this morning and am just going to stick with things I make myself that I know are safe. Maybe once I've healed a little more I'll try a piece again to see if I react, but right now it's not worth it. But my bread is way better than anything...
  14. WinterSong
    Yeah my boyfriend thought that I was overreacting and being paranoid, too. He's easing into things better though now that he sees that I'm still the same person and can eat all of the foods I love with a few switches (and it helps that we both like different types of food, so we don't share many of the same jars). There are still things to discuss, of course...

    Hi and welcome to the board! So sorry that you're not feeling well. Sounds like you are definitely going through withdrawal. The length of time it lasts is different for everyone. I believe for me it was about three or four weeks. I still got stomach aches, but I think the worst part was the migraines. It was scary because I had never had them before. I was...

    I've just been cooking from my oven and have made a bunch of amazing bread. Cheaper, too.

    I'm sorry you're having a hard time. When I went through my endoscopy I didn't eat for about 15 hours beforehand. Afterwards I ate a banana and instantly felt like someone was punching me in the stomach. I was pretty sick for a few days. I say try the probiotics and maybe some ginger tea and cinnamon and just keep eating the healthiest you can. Hope you feel...

    Thanks for the advice, everyone! And no, I didn't have anything like gum/mints prior to feeling sick. I had felt it before after eating the quinoa dish, so I'm pretty sure it's from that. Haven't eaten much since and feel kinda gross. I've had strawberries and almond milk on their own before and don't remember them bothering me, but I'll test them again...
  19. WinterSong
    Yeah, I think I'm going to have to do that. Also, I've only been gluten-free for about two months. Is it possible that my body is just extra sensitive to certain ingredients because I'm still healing?
  20. WinterSong
    I've checked and all of the ingredients are completely gluten free (and not processed at facilities that make gluten), but I'm gettting a gurgily stomach ache along with acid reflux. It's not unbearable, but it's no fun. Looking at what I've been eating, I'm pretty sure it's from this because I've felt this way after eating it a few times before. But I can...

    Mushroom - Good to know, thanks for the info! Learning something new every day I actually ate white potatoes over the weekend and felt fine. After doing some more thinking about it, I'm tending to think that it may be the xanthan gum (rather than CC or low levels of gluten) because of its supposed laxative effect. Though I don't remember the cookies...

    went out for lunch today - salmon with capers and veggies with a flour-less chocolate cake for dessert. YUM!

    I'd love a chat feature specific to this board. Maybe someday

    I know how you feel. I got massively sick for most of February and March. I went to three different doctors before getting my diagnosis (and I was the one who said "I think it could be Celiac. I want to get tested for that"). Then I had to get my endoscopy done twice because it didn't work the first time. It was really stressful. Just keep looking forward...
