    Have you seen this thread? https://www.celiac.com/forums/topic/109875-my-life-just-got-100-easier/ I don't even travel anymore but I want to get one of these.

    I just went to their website and saw this: How is Cold Mountain Miso made? Our Miso is made using filtered water, organic whole soybeans, rice, sea salt and koji starter. So yeah, I would eat it. (That is, if I liked miso. )

    Well, the bread has "soy protein" so I know I'm OK with soy now. And if I can eat corn starch and corn oil I would bet I can eat corn syrup too. (I would never eat the high fructose corn syrup, but maybe the regular.) And the thing is, the corn based plastic that they line cans with nowadays is made from the protein. So I THINK I may have all forms of corn...

    But you know, in the grand scheme of things, the cartoon is (in a way) pointing out that America has become more health conscious, and that can only be a good thing.

    I won't be starting until the ice cream is gone next week. Not looking forward to the headache, but it's better than the joint pain. The only thing is, I made (or am making - it takes a few days) sauerbratten. It has ginger snaps in it. But it won't be anywhere near the amount of sugar that is in the ice cream. And even though I made a huge batch, most of...

    At first I had bad psoriasis flares when I ate potatoes. (I never even tried tomatoes or peppers because I don't like peppers and I couldn't find any jarred sauces that didn't have corn syrup. And there are no eggplants where I live. Nobody even knows what an eggplant looks like!) So anyway, potatoes were the only nightshade I tried. I gave them up because...

    Yeah, I got some Schar bread. I was going to return it when I found it had soy but then I decided to try it anyway and see if I was still intolerant to soy. The good news is, it didn't bother me at all! HOORAY!!! And although the Schar is a bit softer than Udi's, Udi's DOES taste a LOT better. (And it costs a little less.) Canyon Bakehouse is still my...

    Ooh! I never even thought about doing it that way! Last time I got pizza ingredients I put it over rice and just ate it with a spoon. I will definitely try this next time. Thanks!

    From what you have said, there might not even be a microwave at some of the places they send you. But you could get one of those small electric teapots that you just plug in to heat water. That way you'd never be left high and dry.

    It does sound like you may have celiac. But it DEFINITELY sounds like you DO have Lyme disease. You need to talk to your doctor again. According to the CDC, if someone has the rash, no further testing need be done because that IS a diagnosis of Lyme. (And the Lyme disease test is notorious for giving false negatives.)

    How do you know how much hot water to add?

    I'm intrigued. I thought they were for making dried fruit. I never knew you could do meals with them. So tell me, do you have to refrigerate them or freeze them or can you just stick them in the cupboard until you're ready to pull one out and eat it?

    When we first start the diet our guts are such a mess just about anything can set us off. Even lettuce gave me major problems at first. We need to concentrate on a few foods that don't bother us and then slowly add things back. Raw veggies are hard to digest, so eat them cooked at first. Processed foods of all types are full of ingredients that may be hard...

    Some folks shell out hundreds of dollars for "food intolerance testing". As of yet there is no scientific evidence that intolerance testing for anything other than lactose is anything but a scam. Doubts cast on food intolerance testing Allergists and gastroenterologists question the use of expensive but sought-after analyses April 11, ...

    Boo humbug!

    I'm about to give up sugar too. I've been off nightshades for weeks now and the arthritis pain is not getting any better. It came on rather suddenly so I think it's food related. I have about a week and a half's worth of ice cream in the freezer (it was on sale so I stocked up), but when it's gone I won't be buying any more. And it sounds like we are...

    I just looked at their website. They claim to have "allergen free" stuff on their menu but then they say this: "Since all of our dishes are prepared-to-order at Red Lobster, our normal kitchen operations may involve shared cooking and preparation areas. Therefore, we cannot guarantee that any menu item can be completely free of allergens." I would re...

    ARCHIVED So Discouraged

    bartfull replied to across's topic in Super Sensitive People

    Frosted, have you checked all of your supplements and medications? Do you have your own dedicated toaster? Are you using scratched teflon pans or scratched plastic containers? How about your old cast iron pans? Cast iron is porous and if a pan ever held gluten, you will get glutened by cooking in it. How about the silverware drawer? They collect crumbs. Do...

    That is definitely withdrawal. And I hate to say it, but it can last two or three weeks. But stick with it because when you come out the other side you will be feeling better than you have in a long time. Cross-contamination is a real concern. It would be enough at this stage to set you back to square one. If you can possibly avoid eating out, at least...

    I used to travel a lot. I've seen most of the country. Once I got here and got old, I have decided I am done traveling. If my friends from Connecticut or California (another place I used to live once) want to see me, they have to come here. If I ever WERE to travel again, it would be to get some good seafood! But I could always have some shipped to me...

    Maybe eggplant is hard to grow out here because there is never any at farmer's markets either. I can eat SOME nightshades. I just have to go easy. Maybe eat a potato a week or something like that. Mystic is VERY familiar to me. I used to live not too far from there. I loved going to the restaurants in Mystic. The freshest seafood anywhere. There was a...

    Thanks for the tip, Waiting. Back when Mom was diagnosed with celiac (the '80's), there were hardly any substitute foods available. So she stopped making her incredible lasagna and started making eggplant parm. Same recipe but she used eggplant instead of noodles. It was heavenly! I would do the same but believe it or not, no one here knows what an eggplant...

    Yeah, even if I do cook them I always do.

    As bad a cook as I am, the one thing I can do is make a dynamite lasagna. (Thanks to my Mom.) As a matter of fact, my "brother-in-law" who ALWAYS gives me a hard time about everything once said (grudgingly) that I make the best lasagna he has ever had. I cook and drain the noodles. I make meatballs instead of just browning hamburger and crush them up...

    Do they get bigger the way regular ones do? Uncooked they aren't long enough to fit in the pan.
