    If you have only been eating gluten-free for 2 weeks, then if you start back eating gluten now I'd suspect you should be fine for testing by the time you get in to get tested, if it's in the range of 2-3 weeks out. If it's at least a month or more out that would probably be better, just in case. That is just my not expert opinion from having read a lot of...

    It's not a cereal, but I've been having split peas for breakfast some days, just add butter & salt after cooking. They take about an hour to cook, so making it ahead might be a good idea to save time in the morning.

    And for another viewpoint that doesn't villianize carbs, there's Ray Peat's article found here: Open Original Shared Link It's a long article, but it has some very interesting information.

    I don't necessarily have a snack suggestion, except maybe rice cakes with butter, which is my only snack food recently. Not grain free though.... I did want to suggest that it's possible the issue you're having may not be dairy per se, but it may be the additives to the yogurt. Since I'm sensitive to a lot of additives, the only yogurt I could find without...

    I was at a local store today, and they had some of this bread, and it was $0.90 off, for a total $5.69 (after the discount). Figured I'd splurge and try it, since it doesn't have corn starch or syrup or potato starch. They had 2 varieties, mountain white and a 7 grain, I got the mountain white. Here are the ingredients: brown rice flour, water, tapioca flour...

    Good catch, Groucho. I was born in winter (Jan.).

    That stinks, sorry to hear it! I'm guessing you probably already use shampoo without wheat, but I thought I'd mention it. In addition, check out this thread with some possible solutions for itch relief:

    The recipes I have don't use a bread machine, and I've not had very good experiences trying to make a yeast bread with gluten-free ingredients. However, looking at your recipe I would suggest that 6 Tablespoons of oil is about 4 Tablespoons too many (i.e. use only 1 or 2 Tbs instead). And as Sylvia mentioned, a couple of eggs might be a good idea. What you...

    I noticed the new look, after I visited the site yesterday and it was still down after about 3 hours (according to the message) What I've been doing is selecting the option to read new messages, and it took me a little hunting to find that. It defaulted to showing the unread posts, but I found 'new since last visit' on the left and selected that. One...

    Hi kam318, welcome to the forums! I can't answer all of your questions, but for number 2 I'd say yes, those 2 issues could very well be related to celiac. And for number 3, if they're made in a facility that processes wheat, you may be o.k., but you might want to do a search here by product name and see if others have had any issues. I'd mostly stay away...

    I'm only speculating, but one of the articles mentioned that the network gave the impression they think it's 'all in her head'. Sound familiar? And It may be while they're 'on set', they put in very long days. And trying to maintain a gluten-free diet in those conditions may be pretty challenging. Plus they were apparently not allowing her to work elsewhere...

    It looks to me like these are the Total IgA (IgG and IgM) numbers? I'm not positive, but total IgA wouldn't need to be done again if it is, I'd guess?

    You might also try email, if you have their website you could use the 'contact' option perhaps, or if you have an email address for them, use that if you don't want to call, asking for the specific test results. Then give it a few hours to see if you get a response. Then email a 2nd request, or call.

    Possibly sulfites? Open Original Shared Link And here: Open Original Shared Link (note where it mentions dried herbs and spices.)

    I'm not sure what your diet includes -- but I know for me that sulfites and sulfited ingredients in supplements, etc. make me very tired. I can't touch any of the pre-made gluten-free breads due to the starches, and corn syrup and such. In addition all supplements with maltodextrin are a no-go for me, plus I recently quit nightshades too since potatoes seemed...

    Yes! It could be a sign of some sort of intolerance. Anxiety was the thing that made me realize I had a problem with wheat many years ago. I was trying a combination diet (can't mix carbs and protein, for instance), and after a whole wheat bagel for breakfast I had some meat and vegetable for lunch, and the anxiety went away. Too bad I didn't make the gluten...

    I wanted to let y'all know that this movie is again available for free viewing through Oct. 17th, at the link on the 1st message.

    No kidding, about having less fear, especially after your avocado incident! I decided to type the list since it's taken me months of trial and error and a food diary and searching these forums, etc. to finally pin it down enough that I have actually been able to go several days at a stretch recently feeling pretty good. Then the stretch gets broken by testing...

    Hi LJ, I just read through this thread, and as a fellow DH sufferer (though mine is MUCH better now), and I saw you mention the cheese rice cakes, my first thought was sulfites. Or MSG (or both). I found that both of those things cause me problems. Here are some links that may help for either of those, and some ingredients are actually on both lists...

    Thanks for sharing. I hope they / you get your son's issues sorted out soon, too!

    For my occasional baking I've recently just been using rice flour, blanched almond flour and some tapioca flour rather than buying the mixes. Then again I rarely used mixes when I was eating gluten either. For rice noodles, I get the Asian rice noodles in the Asian food aisle of the grocery store, it costs less! Also I found the bulk area of my local Winco...

    Here's another one that I just got an email for, though I rarely sign online petitions (since Congress seems quite willing to ignore phone calls and the like, anyway...). The email came from Institute for Responsible Technology Food Policy Fund. Open Original Shared Link

    My muffins made with rice flour and/or combined with tapioca flour have come out of the muffin liners just fine. But, once I did try to add some sticky rice (glutinous) flour to the mix, maybe 25%, and they really stuck to the muffin liner. So I would suspect it has something to do with one of the ingredients? I haven't used any of those mixes, so I'm...

    Yep, sure looks like DH to me. You said you have been on steroid creams, hopefully not recently if you want to see a derm for a biopsy? Apparently recent steroid use will reduce the likelihood of it being diagnosed. In the meantime, have you found the thread about itch relief on here? As well as info. on the right way for a dermatologist to biopsy? (Next...

    Lemon juice should be fine too. I also avoid bottled lemon juice due to the sulfite issue, and I have to squeeze my own when I want to make some mayonaise. For baking, the vinegar or yogurt is easier for me than lemon juice.
