    Holy cow! Yes! She has always chewed her food and spit it out, ever since she was just starting to eat, it drives us crazy!

    I'm so worried about her. I don't mind having Celiac, I'm a grown up I can deal with it. I was hoping my kids being half Asian would protect them since it's so uncommon in Asians. Well, I'll request the Celiac bloodwork along with the other vitamin/mineral stuff next week.

    The only problem is that you have to cook your food to an internal temperature of 160 F to kill E. Coli. The only way to determine that is with a meat thermometer and cooking vegetables to that temperature would likely leave you with a disgusting plate full of mush with little nutritional value left.

    It is a huge learning curve. I did really well in my first month of gluten-free but didn't really believe that things like kisses and pots could make that much of a difference. Now that I've eliminated all those "tiny" sources like gluteny kisses and non stick pots my recovery has been amazing!

    I'll preface this by saying that I have made a doctor's appointment for Lily but I have to wait more than a week and I'm wondering if anyone else has any similar experiences. Lily is 2 and seems to be perfectly healthy, she is a bit small for her age but active, happy and rarely gets sick. Her bowel movements are normal and she doesn't appear to be in...

    Baked chicken thighs, rice, cauliflower... maybe some asparagus. Nothing exciting here.

    The first week would be excruciating. The brain fog hits within the hour. Constant migraine, intense muscle pain and spasms all up my back and neck, severe nausea, fatigue, joint pain, irritability, constipation. The second week the nausea and pain start to fade, the headache is gone but my neck still hurts really badly. By the end of the second week things...

    Since even crumbs will set off a 2 week reaction for me it's not something I would ever do. That said, I absentmindedly took a bite of my daughter's alphabet noodle soup a few weeks into being gluten-free and panicked. Vomiting was the only thing I could think of to do so I did. Then I took a whack of digestive enzymes and hoped for the best. It seemed...

    My kids start helping with their laundry when they are old enough to throw clothes in the machine, my 2 year old can do that. My 5 year old can put the soap in and is learning which knobs do what. My 15 year old son has been 100% responsible for his own laundry since he was 10. Your son definitely needs to be taking care of his own clothes whether that...

    Be careful of the diner food. I didn't think I was sensitive enough to get sick from contaminated pans but within a month I realized I was and have had to replace all my pans with stainless steel. So be cautious about food being cooked/grilled on a shared cooking surface.

    But I want to go to Ottawa. A whole week without kids or laundry. No fair.

    So I'm mildly peeved at my husband. His work is sending him away on a course and he's floating about the house all happy that he gets to spend a whole week in Ottawa in a nice hotel with $100 a day for food and entertainment. I'm insanely jealous. I want to get away from the kids and home too. So in a fit of poutiness I just spent a bunch of money...

    I think celiac is a definite possibility. Your boyfriend is right on one count though, a whole foods diet is a great way to start. In your case just leave the gluten and dairy out of the equation. A month on meat, fruits, veggies, rice and quinoa is a great beginning. Then you can try a bit of gluten or dairy and see how you feel. If you feel like crap you...

    uh. Yeah. Ignore everything I said. Korwyn is right. They are moving into YOUR house, too bad if it's inconvenient for them.

    Turkey soup from the bones of last week's turkey and gluten-free cornbread. Maybe some salad.
  17. Poppi
    That can't possibly be an issue of we would all have to be vegans. Chickens, cows, turkeys, pigs ... all their food is grain and a good portion or it is going to be wheat, barley, oats etc.

    I posted a month's worth of dinner plans on my blog recently. I feed a family of 7 and while some of these dinners aren't super cheap there is enough variety that you should be able to get a few ideas. Lentil soup, salad and gluten-free cornbread Hamburgers, steamed cauliflower and baked potato wedges BBQ salmon, brown rice, steamed broccoli Grilled...

    I couldn't help but read that as a poem because of the way it was centered.

    Tacos tonight. Easy peasy.

    For me the nausea takes 1-2 weeks of 100% purity of diet to go away after being glutened. Meaning if I get glutened by accident or at a restaurant it takes up to 2 weeks of eating only whole foods prepared myself for the nausea and muscle pain and inflammation to go away. Everyone is different though so your body may behave differently from mine. I also...

    ARCHIVED It's Official

    Well it's not exactly across the street more like kitty corner from our back yard and there is an Earl's in between the Tim's and our house so we mostly smell their wood burning ovens which is quite nice.

    Absolutely a gluten free kitchen with a gluten island. It is your kitchen and the vast majority of it needs to be safe. best scenario would be an island with storage for gluten foods, especially foods that leave crumbs like bread, crackers and cereal.

    It's a Tim Horton's. I've also tried a local shop that roasts their own beans and a couple varieties of the Starbucks Via packets. Same reaction every time. I haven't made any coffee at home since a month before I went gluten free because I was hooked on the Caramel Starbucks Via.

    and in the car and my purse and my knitting bag and the basket under my bedside table and behind the sorghum and amaranth flours in the cupboard.
