    Coconut curries are good in thai. Another possibility is that Pad Thai could easily be made gluten free if there is no wheat containing soy sauce and if they use rice pasta. All reasonable requests at the right restaurant. Indian food is often quite good if it comes from an unprocessed place.

    The flying apron? I never heard of it. Turns out that I walk right past it every day!!!

    I have a potentially dangerous allergy to sulfites. I just got sick eating an Arrowhead mills pizza crust. Luckily it was only uncomfortable and not a more severe reaction. I didn't know what caused it until, I found that the tapioca starch in their vanilla cake has sulfites-but the label on the pizza crust didn't mention them. I called Bob Red Mills...

    Some products specifically say "corn" or "wheat".

    I just got sick eating an Arrowhead mills pizza crust. Luckily it was just gastrointestinal distress. Later I learned that the tapioca starch in their vanilla cake, says "contains sulfites", but their pizza crust does not, though it does use tapioca and potato starch. This made my blood run cold, because I have a sulfite allergy that could potentially...

    I've suffered from not only bad dreams, but also an extreme startle respoonse and severe anxiety all my life. To a large extent my anxiety levels have calmed down-which I always attributed to the fact I cut out the excitotoxin additives only a few months before the gluten. But now my dreams have turned from horrible nightmares to simply bizarre.

    Ianm, You say that you were obese on gluten, but the diet cured your obesity? I was never severely obese (just teetering on the threshold between overweight and obese), but a combination of no gluten and no excitoxins seems to have cured that. I mostly attributed the weight loss to the excitoxin part. Now I sort of wonder.

    J-Man, you sound really head over heels for this girl!!!!!! The only thing, I've ever seen a man do for a woman at this stage that compares to this, was a guy who took a sign language class because he was really interested in a deaf woman!!!! It would be sort of sad, if she just goes back to an ex and you never get a chance!!! But take heart. Many...

    After about a year, I've gotten comfortable about admitting to a few close friends, but no relatives yet, that I'm gluten free. I told one friend of mine who actually has celiac disease, expecting that he would be furious and immediately terminate the friendship and never want to speak with me again. But that didn't happen. In fact, he was of the "gluten...

    People can be stubborn. Personally though, I'm glad enough not to have the medical risks associated with celiac. But I would RATHER DIE THAN NOT BE gluten-free. I would rather be tortued the same way people were at Abu Gharib than intentionally cheat on my diet. If I ever ended up intentionally eating wheat, I would probably feel as bad about myself...

    One way to keep the girls from testing positive in the future is to start them on a gluten-free diet now. If they never eat wheat or gluten none of the genes can ever be triggered. Even if you could guarantee that they'd never be positive even on a wheat filled diet, it might still be a good thing. I'm not celiac, and going gluten free has been one...

    I just ate a marzipan with wheat flour last week and started throwing up about two hours later. For the next three days, I felt a wee bit driftier and my stomach was bothering me in a way that it peroidically did from the time I was ten until-well about a month after going gluten-free. Only this was worse than I remember. Originally, I started the...

    One VERY REAL possibility, is that ancient gluten-free wheats and barley's seem to exist. If so they could be backbred, in such a manner that many wheat and barley crops will literally be gluten-free and those could be eaten without any gluten consequences. Whether that will benefit only celiacs or those who don't have celiac sprue, but seem to feel...

    Actually, I know I must be in the minority, but I think Ener-G tapioca loaf is not only the best bread I've ever tasted in my life, but I think dry untoasted Ener-G is my favorite food in the world hands down.

    Well keep in mind that prior to the 1500's, all Native Americans were living on a gluten free diet. Aparently wheat was non existant in Lima, Peru and Quito Ecuador until nearly the 17th century. Many people in the highlands of New Guinea, were gluten-free until the 19th century and many tribal peoples probably still are. I was reading an article on what...

    Merika, There is one aspect of your husband's behavoir, that stands out to me and changes the complexicion of the rest of your post. Namely that he complains about the food "every day" and yet eats it the vast majority of the time. To me this sounds, as though there is some layer of manipulation here. Most likely it sounds like he is try to play matyr...

    Try eating lots of potatoes, dried fruit, and nuts in front of people who think you are on the Atkins regimen. Or better yet, brings tons of gluten-free cookies and cake in your lunch box. If you don't want to eat it all, you don't have to, but it might be fun to just freak everyone out.

    [quotethink just for fun, I'm going to throw a spanner into the discussion. Why, when we are so passionate about someone telling us that we should eat gluten containing foods, that we insist on telling someone who feels perfectly healthy and fit, that whole grains, including wheat is "not good" for them? I'm finding that a bit odd] I don't! ...

    I just went through a family wedding, without telling anbody I was gluten-free. It involved breakfasts at a friend of the family's house. I just ended up telling people "No Thanks" and "I'm not hungry." an awful lot, namely whenever either cross contamination looked like a risk or when I couldn't read a label. To a certain extent, I was able to "pass...

    I'm sure, I'm going to be in the minority here big time, but I LOVE Ener-G white rice bread. In fact, having traveled around the world in my pre-gluten-free days, I think Ener-G is the best bread, I have ever come across by lightyears. But knowing about the corn bread and the adadema corn bread is a good idea, because it would be a better way to avoid...

    I find it intresting that you think its a moral issue weather or not to go gluten-free. I am not at all clear how it is? The only time I hear of diets having morality are typicaly from Vegitiairins who preach in your face that eating meat is moraly wrong.>
  24. dogear
    I suppose feeling guilty or that I was doing something immoral was probably not terribly rational. But it's amazing how some things can just reinforce themselves. One thing I do run into is the difficulty in explaining this, when I don't have a medical cause to rely on. I don't feel comfortable with lying and telling people that I have "gluten intolerance...

    Are wheat sprouts a problem?
