    It sounds like your symptoms are similar to mine. I have to ingest a fairly large amount of gluten to get digestive symptoms but the slightest contamination brings back the muscle aches and the neurological symptoms. Everyone is different but I have actually been digesting dairy and corn better than ever before since I went gluten free. If the meal was...

    I hope he enjoys it! If you can get him to eat this then you can at least get his caloric intake up. Good luck!!

    ARCHIVED Body Aches

    Poppi replied to GFreeMO's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    For me the muscle cramps and achiness is my first symptom that flares up with even the tiniest contamination - I know you were looking for experiences with every day soreness but I did have to learn with the daily pain for many years before I went gluten free. It's really hard to cope with. For me it usually means just riding it out for the week or so...

    Butterball turkey franks are safe. I eat them all the time and haven't had any problems. The butterball site says they are gluten free.

    My hyperemesis during my last pregnancy is the reason my husband got a vasectomy and we never had that 4th baby we wanted so badly. It was so bad and my life was so threatened at one point that we were considering aborting the baby girl we had spent 2 year trying to conceive. It was unimaginable. I am so happy you had a normal happy pregnancy. Good for you...

    If you can't tolerate legumes, soy, dairy and eggs and you are a vegan you must be dangerously low on protein. You need steady protein levels to maintain your blood sugar and keep you full. You are also limited as far as things that keep you feeling full. Is there any way you would consider introducing dairy or eggs into your diet or are those included...

    I feel better than I've ever felt in my life! I have energy and enthusiasm. I can see a long, happy, healthy future for the first time ever. Instead of wondering how the heck I am going to live another 50-60 years in this body I am excited about every one of those years. My whole family's diet is better now because for the first time ever I really am...

    Perhaps go ahead with lunch but just tell him you have celiac and would like to choose the restaurant. Is there a place you trust?

    It really is a big deal. I have just recovered from a week of severe back and muscle pain that could only have been triggered by cross contamination in the McCain plant that made my hashbrowns. The ingredients on the bag were safe but I got sick anyway. I have also gotten sick by: - Eating gluten free bread at a restaurant that also makes regular...

    My kids have no idea that they eat gluten free. Even my 15 year old doesn't really know or care that 90% of his diet is gluten free (I have no control over the 10% he eats/buys outside the house). Dinner for the past week has been: Chicken nuggets, fries and tabouleh Fried fish, rice and frozen corn Pork tenderloin in the crock pot with an Asian peanut...

    Chicken nuggets (chicken breasts breaded with gluten-free panko crumbs) Fries (10 pound of potatoes cut, blanched in vinegar and salt water and fried) Tabouleh made with Quinoa It's funny because I know a lot of people who eat a lot of processed food so chicken nuggets, fries and salad is a quick, open a few bags, toss some stuff in the oven kind of...

    I actually feel the opposite as Marilyn R, I don't want an allergen free diet. Just a gluten free one. I like dairy and nuts and eggs and white sugar in my baked goods. I'm tired of cookbooks (and processed foods) that try to cover every possible allergen. I got a cookbook from the library and the recipes all had agave nectar and celtic sea salt and other...

    My husband and the three teenagers went out for hot pot (which I obviously can't eat) so the little ones and I just had quinoa porridge and fruit. After they're in bed I'm busting out the ice cream, bananas and chocolate sauce.

    For me even breathing deeply in the bakery or a few tiny crumbs finding their way into my food is cause for a major 5-7 day flare up. I have no idea what damage a crumb does to my intestines but I can tell you that a slice of pizza is in now way worth a week of debilitating pain and fatigue. For what it's worth the Kinnikinnick pizza crusts are really...

    This peanut butter pork recipe with rice and steamed brocolli. Watermelon and homemade gluten-free chocolate chip cookies for dessert. And it's finally sunny enough to eat outside! ETA: Oh my heck! The pork is so amazing (I left out the onions and used Kraft creamy but other than that it's the same as the recipe) I just want to take the crock...

    Thank you thank you! I will run it through tomorrow!

    I learned very quickly that I don't like anything with bean flour in the ingredients. I can taste the beans very strongly. I like the rice/tapioca/potato type combinations better.

    Breaded sole fillets (dredged in rice flour, then beaten eggs, then gluten-free Panko Crumbs and fried in Canola oil), baked yams and steamed cauliflower. Yum!

    So one of my most treasured possessions is my baking stone. It was a birthday gift from my mother once upon a time and I have literally baked hundreds of loaves of gluten-filled bread on it. Both sides. I can't think of anyway to salvage it since the whole point of a baking stone is a porous surface that transfers heat and moisture. Any thoughts...

    I made the Holy Cow Cake the other night. It was really good. I was nervous about the Butterfingers since I hadn't had them before but all went well. I only used about 1/3 of a cup of caramel sauce because I was afraid of making the cake too sweet. I'm glad I reduced it! I also doubled the whipped cream topping (and used 1/2 the sugar in that as well...

    I kept my big stand mixer mostly because there was no way I could afford to replace it. I went over it with a can of compressed air and scrubbed every accessible surface. So far I think it's okay. I got rid of all my cutting boards, non stick pots, wooden and plastic utensils and designated the small metal collander (the mesh kind) as gluten only. I...

    Homemade turkey vegetable soup and tabouleh made with quinoa.

    Oh I couldn't agree more. That's why I said "I let DH talk me into something dumb" and not "DH forced me to gluten myself". At the end of it all though it really showed him the reality of the situation and he has been a huge support and help since then. In a twisted way it may have been worth it. He even went through all our toiletries and my cosmetics...

    Yeah, I cook 3 meals a day for a family of 7 plus I host all the large family gatherings so once a month or so I am cooking for 15-20 people. Good cookware is important. So far I'm happy with my new pans. Cooking eggs is going to take some practice but maybe I'll just buy a single non stick pancake pan and hide it for eggs and gluten-free pancakes.

    Ugh. Hope it's not too bad for you.
