    Gemini, if I ever get Canyon Bakehouse back, I guarantee I will be so fat no one will recognize me. I know we should all keep our gluten-free substitutes as OCCASIONAL treats, but this stuff is so good I know I'd eat it every day, several times a day. I like it even better than ice cream, and believe me, I am an ice cream fanatic.

    My local health food store sells it. It is my absolute favorite bread, but unfortunately I can't eat it right now. Udi's has corn starch, which I could tolerate for a while there and hope to get back again, but the Canyon Bakehouse 7-Grain has corn MEAL, which I doubt I'll ever be able to tolerate again. But who knows? Maybe someday... The Canyon...

    CommonTater, which Canyon Bakehouse did you get? They make a white bread, a "rye" and SAN JUAN 7-GRAIN. The 7-Grain is not dry at all. It's got great texture and flavor. If that's the one you tried and it was dry, it must have had freezer burn or something.

    Ksee, quite a few of us noticed a marked improvement within days. And quite a few who did slid back into strong symptoms after that. In my case, I developed new intolerances (soy, corn, and salicylates). Others just experienced lots of ups and downs as they healed. So if you find that you start feeling sick again, don't think it's because gluten WASN'T your...

    I've got a lot of bills too, but mine are the kind you have to pay.

    NotMe, if you like Rudi's, you'll LOVE Canyon Bakehouse. The taste is similar but Canyon Bakehouse doesn't fall apart like Rudi's does.

    Yes, Canyon Bakehouse is (IMO) the very best gluten-free bread on the market. It's expensive, but so good! Udi's multi-grain is good too. It tastes more like french bread to me, but it cost slightly less than the Canyon Bakehouse.

    Oh yeah, I meant to tell you that the Udi's bread and muffins have no soy in them. I too have an intolerance to both gluten and soy, plus CORN. And I live in a tiny town with one health food store. I have to drive at least 60 miles to find another store that carries gluten-free foods. I usually just go once a month and stock up.

    What is it you're looking for? Breads? Sunshine Herbs and More at 11274 S Fortuna Rd # K YUMA, AZ, 85367 (928) 342-1123 carries Udi's products. Their multi-grain bread is great. Their double chocolate muffins are UNBELIEVABLY good! I'm sure that same store has plenty of other gluten-free products. As a matter of fact, I googled health food stores...

    White wine gives me a headache. Red wine has me rushing to the bathroom before I even finish one glass. Mom told me her doctor said that inability to tolerate red wine was one of the first signs of celiac. Of course, that was back in the 80's, and who knows if it's right? But about the time I started developing psoriasis, I developed my intolerance to red...

    My late friend Kelly once broke up with a guy named Ron and almost immediately got involved with another guy named Ron. We kept telling her, "Two Rons don't make a right." (And we were correct - the second Ron didn't work out either.)

    There is a chain of health food stores in America called "Whole Foods".

    I saw the title of your thread and jumped on it. My "lump" is different though. Yours does sound like a lymph node. I have some of those too, swollen and rock hard. They SAY that if they can be wiggled around it's infection. If they are hard and don't move when you try to wiggle them, it's cancer. I don't know if that's true in every case, but that's what...

    Could be a byproduct of detoxing. Your body is shedding not only gluten, but the effects gluten had on it. Anything that is healing usually smells bad. Once it's healed, that'll be over with.

    I'd like to plant some pork chops and cheeseburgers. Anyone know where I can get seeds for them, or would it be better to get some young plants from a greenhouse?
  16. bartfull
    I think everyone is different, but for me, the grumpiness is pretty much instantaneous. Even though the last time I got glutened I didn't realize it at first, I got really grouchy right away and couldn't firure out why until the nausea hit a couple of hours later.

    Protein shouldn't be a problem. Plain meat (beef, bison, pork, poultry, and fish) are all gluten-free. You just can't have the stuff that is breaded or seasoned. Fiber shouldn't be a problem. Plain veggies are full of fiber, and so are nuts (Buy Planter's nuts - some other brands process gluten items on the same lines, so are not safe.) Sweet potatoes...

    Have you read the Newbie 101 thread? That'll help with the nuts and bolts part of this. For the emotional side, you just have to allow yourself the time and space to grieve. You will no doubt feel like throwing your hands in the air, you will no doubt cry, you will most likely have a few meltdowns in the grocery stores. And then it will get better. First...

    I used to have a patch of them in my yard when I lived in Connecticut. They even look like sunflowers, tall and green, except the flowers are small. They keep coming back each year and each year the patch grows bigger. They can take over your whole yard! They taste even better after the first frost. If you eat them raw in a salad they have a wonderful nutty...

    I'm confused. You say, "I have had digestive problems all my life as well, mostly constipation (I won't go for 4-5 days straight sometimes) with the occassional random attack of severe intestinal cramping and diarrhea. However since I stopped eating gluten, I haven't had one of those attacks in a long time and the mucus that used to appear in my stool has...

    YvetteLynn (love your name, by the way - I have a beloved cousin by the same name) What was said was this: "Kraft clearly labels all gluten containing ingredients". The "clearly" is just a way to kind of praise Kraft because they ARE so clear in their labelling. There are other companies who will only declare wheat because it is one of the top eight allergens...

    And don't forget, ziplock bags are your friends. Make big meals, portion them out and freeze them. I only cook once or twice a week. I have a freezer full of meals I made myself that I just grab and microwave during the work week.

    "If you have a 10% kind of day, and give all 10%, then you gave everything you had, which is 100%." Adelaide, those are words to live by! I hope you don't mind if I have those words stamped on my forehead or something. I'm laughing, but truly, those words are the truth and if we all lived by them, none of us would ever feel guilty for being sick again...

    We had some pretty great weather (highs anywhere from the upper 50's to the 70's) for the past several weeks. My tulips and irises were starting to come up. Then on Tuesday and Wednesday we got a blizzard. A little over a foot of snow here, more (22 inches) in Rapid City. OK, so we have been in drought and this is much needed moisture. And usually after...

    Designer, if I'm not mistaken, Steph has DH, and those with DH don't usually get the villi damage the rest of us do. They may get digestive SYMPTOMS the way folks with non-celiac gluten intolerance do, but if probiotics don't help her, that could be the reason why. I am in the same boat with you. So many intolerances I can't find any supplements without...
