    Anyone in the mood for meatloaf? I made a meatloaf with lots of diced (cooked) mushrooms. onions, carrot and celery. I cooked extra veggies and puréed them into a sauce with coconut oil and milk. Use LOTS of mushrooms and it is delicious! It was so nice to experience gravy again! The meatloaf was good too, but the sauce really made it.

    Last May I had my celiac blood test panel and stopped eating gluten. Well, stopped intentionally eating gluten. I spent the summer getting sick and learning all about hidden gluten, until figuring out that CORN was just as big a problem. Well, really, corn is a bigger problem. It is hidden in more places and without labels. For example, I just recently...

    I recently made a delicious meatloaf with a gravy made of puréed vegetables and coconut milk. There were lots of mushrooms in the dish. I got so sick! After a day I had a little more just to make sure this was the dish that got me. Yes. So that extra meatloaf I made to freeze for later had to go to the garbage. So sad. I have been eating mushrooms ...

    Yes, i just bought some coconut flour! Made some banana bread with it! I am leery of almond flour right now. When I eat a lot of it (say, a serving of a baked good once daily for a few days) I get sick. But I've been using Trader Joes almond meal which is not blanched and has the skins. If I bought one of the expensive, blanched, skinless, finely ground...

    I am intolerant to gluten, dairy, soy, corn, tomatoes, peppers, and now I think mushrooms. Sigh. Eating out IS the hardest part. I can eat sushi if served just rice, fish, and lemon slices. I have to stay away from the reconstituted wasabi (maybe corn?) but the ginger is OK. There is a steamed fish dish at a local Thai restaurant I can eat. At Maria's...

    I'm with Bartfull on this one, unfortunately. Corn is EVERYWHERE! I personally react to even a little bit. It is in vitamins, in anything that is processed in any way. It is in baking powder. Spice mixes. Avoiding gluten is easy compared with avoiding corn. You will just have to experiment to see how sensitive you happen to be.

    Hi friends, sorry I've been away for awhile. I was eating lots of Paleo recipes but the almond meal is upsetting my stomach. Blah. I can eat a little bit but too much and I am sick. I bought some Teff flour in the hopes that I can tolerate it, but I haven't had a chance to use it yet. Any experiences / recipes to share? I'm working on a chicken croquettes...

    Yeah, I get discouraged sometimes too. Especially when just as I think I have it figured out and then I feel sick again. Blah. Since removing gluten 8 months ago I have also had to remove corn, soy, tomatoes, and chocolate. Dairy was already gone. It sounds like we are eating similarly, with meat and vegetables and a bit if starch thrown in. Quinoa sometimes...

    Mushroom, good advice. I need to work on having a few go to appetizers. Tamalberry, I am still in my first year of eating gluten-free etc. So it was my first Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years Eve, etc. dealing with a new menu. I'm still working on expanding my repertoire of recipes. The paleo recipes are usually good but i dont like to eat too many...

    It seems all the usual appetizers are on my AVOID list. (No gluten, corn, soy, dairy, tomatoes, peppers, ...) So while I smelled all these delicious breads, chips, etc., I ate roast cauliflower with some bacon. Yay me. Sure it was good and I am glad that 1) I had SOMETHING to eat, and 2) that it was healthy. But I sure do miss eating what everyone...
  11. AnnJay
    Yes. Thank you. I need to do this. In fact I will probably start a thread right now!

    Hey THANKS for the recipe! I'll have to try it. Egg is fine, fortunately. I made the paleo cookies many days after the toll house were made. I ate a total of four cookies the first day and succumbed to the fetal position the next morning. About a week later I tried one cookie to see what would happen. Sick again, not as bad. I even tried one more...

    In a moment of strength I decided to go ahead and make Toll House cookies with my kids, that I was not going to let stupid gluten intolerance interfere with family activities. And, of course, it happened. That moment when a tiny bit of batter splashed on the back of my hand and I instinctively ate it! ARGH! I had been so careful until that moment! Fortunately...

    YES! I'm totally OK with never again eating at McDs, or Taco Bell, etc. but I would love to be able to eat SOMEWHERE! (And avoid gluten, corn, soy, dairy, tomatoes, peppers, chocolate...)
  15. AnnJay
    Love it! Just let the pout out and move on, eh? Great answer. Sometimes I come here with the intention to vent and suddenly all I have to whine about seems like ... Well, like it is selfish or something.
  16. AnnJay
    Yeah, I also like dates with apples. I'm OK in my own kitchen. And if I always ate alone or with my immediate family that's ok too. It's more the convenience and the community aspect of food that I miss. And it makes me wonder why I am the canary in the coal mine.

    Hi all, I'm one of the many with multiple food intolerances that arose kinda unexpectedly. Eating out and avoiding gluten is easy these days. Eating out and avoiding gluten, corn, soy, dairy, tomatoes, and chocolate is difficult. Well, difficult is probably an understatement. Eating out is best avoided. Our family activities used to include a few...

    I am also in the camp of, if it makes me sick I don't eat it. Now avoiding gluten, corn, soy, dairy, tomatoes, and chocolate for the sick category. But I also avoid most grains for a vague reason of just not feeling GOOD on them. It's like my metabolism changes and I feel hungry all the time just because of a little quinoa. So, I eat potatoes, parsnips...

    I recently figured out that I need more calcium in my diet. I am gluten, soy, dairy, corn, and a couple other things free. So supplements don't work for me...they either have gluten or corn or soy. I started eating cooked kale for breakfast. Lots of it, as it takes a whole bunch to give that full feeling. I also learned about a product called blackstrap...

    Our tapas dinner tonight consisted of: scotch egg with homemade mayo, meatballs with carrot ginger dipping sauce, sushi with sashimi grade tuna, roasted veggies, and for the gluten eaters at the table, gnocchi. It was my first attempt at scotch egg and they are good! Especially with some wasabi to spice it up. It was also my first try at coconut amines...

    Hi Dave, All you need is patience, oil, lemon juice OR white vinegar, a whisk, and more patience. The oil may be grape seed or olive or canola or whatever you prefer. Separate the egg so only the yolk is in your mixing bowl. Put the egg white aside for breakfast or whatever. Add to the yolk 1Tablespoon of the acid...either lemon juice or white vinegar...

    How do you remake leftover chicken? In warmer weather I made mayo, diced veggies and made chicken salad. I could do stir fry, I guess. What veggie combo would you use?

    My hypoglycemia was worse while I was eating gluten. Over the years I had learned to include protein with breakfast or pay the price after an hour or two. Now I eat few starches at all and have not been hypoglycemic at all! I never would have thought that I could eat vegetables and 1egg for breakfast, and those calories would hold me comfortably until...

    Hi MaxConfusion, Corn gives me troubles so I avoid it in all of its forms. Even some "hidden" processed forms will bother me, such as caramel color added to balsamic vinegar. Several months ago I was still feeling sick and wondering about the cause. I was stuck in a mode of trying to figure it out. Finally the minor adjustments I made in my diet...

    The culprit may have been discovered! Apparently while dining with a group my four year old daughter stuck her hand in my water cup while I wasn't looking. She knows she shouldn't, but she's four. She forgets these things. Anyway, she was eating glutenous food and that is probably how it happened! Sigh. My reaction sure has changed. I have read...
