    I find the beast is the prep.... So if you can make a point of chopping veggies, etc. that helps the cooking go 2x as fast. And make enough to freeze a portion and take leftovers to work the next day. And write down menus you like to eat/prepare and then pull them out, shop for that week, chop/prep.

    Wow. That tops my local stores locating gluten-free baked goods in a frozen case with frozen gluten goods. In the bakery next to the area where they bake stuff...when there's a gluten-free section somewhere else (so I'd never look for that stuff in the bakery). And I assume you aren't the first one to complain since "they are aware of the problem".

    If you want someone to help her get her body working right you need a good ND, not an MD. An ND will advocate for stopping any food that makes her feel bad, to heal her gut, etc. Not all ND's are created equal, like MD's...so look for a good one.

    When my DH breaks out I will get fevers. Didn't in the beginning but I will now. Feels like I have a flu with a rash. It truly sucks.

    Sea bands helped me. And apples. Every color, variety.... I have no idea why but apples still help me when I'm sick at my stomach.

    Well, today is the doctor's appt. I am awake at 3:30 am and my brain is going 20o mph. We haven't told him where we're going or that a test is +. We've been discussing what to do, and thinking of the challenges ahead. So, we have headaches. Y'all will love this one - my stepson is on town and has shown up sick/recently ill AGAIN. Talks about throwing...

    I used to watch her when I was little. Julia Child and Wonder Woman. My parents were quite amused. My son likes to watch her too, especially the show she did on lobsters (I have the DVD).

    FYI espresso powder is great in recipes like that. It really adds depth and a bit of wow. I made some mocha buttercream frosting this morning and forgot I didn't have espresso powder. Not the same without it. It's that little bit that sends the flavor over the edge. Using regular coffe doesn't cut it, I tried.

    Funny you say this. Since I went gluten-free I've noticed my son has gotten pickier - and not about stuff that is gluten-free (he eats all of that). He turns away stuff he has always eaten. They go through stages but it is interesting to think about. Btw one of his tests came back +....

    No grit from cocoa. The flavor is different than using melted chocolate, as is the texture. Melted chocolate gives it a moister, denser texture, cocoa leaves it feeling cakier. Most of my family recipes use cocoa, not melted chocolate.

    My son used to steal the rice stick noodles out of the pantry and eat them like crackers. He was little - 2 or 3??

    I am a buckeye addict. My SIL makes them but they moved so this year I'm making some. The key is SOME. I'll eat them til I barf. Seriously.

    I forgot my purse yesterday (at home) which makes shopping pretty much impossible. I did have my phone, though...because that's more important (had my list on it). Sigh. Be glad when this year is over.,,

    Thanks. Thal trait is actually very common. But it is dangerous not to know you have it since it can mess with bloodwork and you appear anemic. It makes the Celiac thing a nightmare...since you don't really know of you're anemic and absorbing it is an issue. There's a genetic test for the trait and I think we need to do it so we know exactly what we're dealing...

    I think a big part of successful gluten-free home cooking is cooking a Gluten-Free menu - no flour flying through the air, etc. So, if someone told me the whole menu was Gluten-Free (and I knew they didn't mess up ingredients) I'd be pretty confident. My neighbor made me Betty Crocker gluten-free cookies and I was fine with it. I dont know if flour...

    You'd probably find it in the original publication. I would put it in italics but I'm on the phone... The study, which weighs in on a controversy over the gluten content of beer, appears in ACS' Journal of Proteome Research.

    I make brownies using cocoa. I don't remember your other intolerances - milk? My recipe uses butter but I bet you could use butter sub or shortening.

    Go to the Hershey's website. They have lots of ideas.

    Did they screen you for thyroid disease? A lump in the throat feeling is a good reason to be screened, in addition to Celiac.

    Thanks. This is further complicated by him having Thalassemia trait (it's assumed trait, dx is by elimination and a group of nonspecific tests). He also appears anemic , which can also be Celiac (or Thalassemia). I'm wondering if we need a genetic test for that now, too. Sigh.

    Offhand, I don't know which classes those belong to; however, be aware there are class 1 and 2 antihistimines and you may respond to one and not the other. So look them up and make sure you've tried both. And FYI my seasonal allergies were unresponsive until I stopped eating you-know- what.

    I just hate anything out there that's "gluten-free" to not be. Especially beer, because I'm very likely NOT going to be in my sober mind when I decide to drink it.

    Doctor just called and some of my son's Celiac panel is positive. Mother effer. Not what I wanted to hear for him. I'll get more info next week.

    Yes, it seems EVERYTHING is trying to balance, coming off gluten.

    Well, if you have too much estrogen a little progesterone wouldn't hurt to oppose it. I've had times when pc helps tremendously and others not as much. Make sure you use the good stuff and give it a whirl. Sometimes it takes a few months to see the effects.
