    I DO like squash. I don't even add brown sugar and I like it, though I put sugar on my kids' portions.

    GottaSki - how old were your kids when they went gluten free with you? I can see that happening at some point. Although right now I don't mind their breakfast cereal or snack food with gluten. Your idea about having a vegetable soup as a pasta sauce is BRILLIANT! And I will try the spaghetti squash as noodles. I mean, the rice pasta is fine and...

    I happen to LOVE soups, stir fries, and stews. But my kids want to eat their food -separate- right now. Meat separate from rice separate from veggies. My husband and I Insist that they try new foods but I don't want every meal to turn into a battle. When my restrictions were just gluten and dairy it was easier, to be honest. Include the corn and soy...

    Last time I travelled I ate a lot of salads at restaurants (with no dressing) and a few pieces of totally unflavored chicken cooked on a grill. At that time I also couldn't eat soy, corn, or dairy, so a plain baked potato was also an option. Room service turned out to be my friend. They had a shrimp cocktail that I could eat. Well, there was soy in...

    ,y blood test showed no celiac but my reactions are following the typical path. First the ups and downs with cc and hidden gluten. Then the reactions to other foods...soy, corn, dairy (dairy has been a problem for a long time) and now nightshades. If I were cooking for just myself all the time it would be easier. But I'm cooking for 4 year old twins...

    Hi everyone, Last May I underwent the Celiac Blood panel test, with negative results on all tests (more than 3, either 5 or 6 were done). The internist at the time said regardless of the results, if I feel better by not eating gluten, then don't eat gluten. Ok, then I went out of town for a month and discovered all kinds of sources of hidden gluten...

    Does tonic water have corn in it? A classic martini is gluten free. As long as the gin or vodka are not flavored you won't consume gluten or corn. It's the added favors that get ya. Vermouth, olives, twists, cocktail onions I think are all ok. Sake that is called jumei, or something like that, is supposed to be gluten free. The better quality...

    Hi friends, These intolerances are a new discovery for me and I just spent a miserable summer learning how to eat gluten-free, travel gluten-free, and uncovering the other intolerances based on continued symptoms once back home and more in control of my diet. Eating at home is not a problem as there are still plenty of foods I can eat. None of them...

    Just an update... I am finally feeling better! No gluten, no soy, no corn is in my diet. And I can function again. I will still see the gastro even if any testing won't give accurate results. Other maladies can at least be ruled out, if my progress isn't enough to do that. Now I just need to educate myself on how to eat out without ingesting...

    Eeeeeeaaaaaaaggghhh! I couldn't take the pain. Seriously! I know I need to be eating gluten for the villa damage to show in an endoscope. But when the blood test came back negative I assumed I was 'just' gluten intolerant and should avoid gluten. That was in June. Since I am still having problems it seems like seeing a gastroenterologist is the right...

    Thank you. I now have an appointment with a gastro for Sept. 19th. Wish it were sooner, as this is just a consult. And I suppose I'll have to eat gluten again before the scope. Scary. Today I am feeling better! Just tired. But no headache and only small, occasional intestinal cramps. No corn, gluten or soy for a few days, but otherwise quite a variety...

    Thanks for the nightshade family reminder! I remember reading about them, and that tomatoes are part of that family, but I couldn't remember the other ones. I did cook eggplant last night but didn't eat because of the possible connection. Instead I ate broccoli. BUT, I also ate the potato because I FORGOT it was part of the nightshades! Doh! Guess...

    My diarrhea was so bad I was dehydrated and tired. A nurse friend suggested that I drink Gatorade G 2 and said its gluten free. I had about 24 oz all day, diluted with water. At the end of the day I had my first migraine headache in my life. Then I realized that there is CORN in the G2. Drag. So much for the first day of my elimination diet! Today...

    Hi gluten free friends, Please allow me to introduce myself. It's been around 3 months since I figured out my digestive distress was due to gluten. Since that time, I have had a negative blood test for Celiac, I have been through airports, on vacation, and traveled through many towns, all the while trying to eat gluten free but assuredly making lots...

    Have you done an elimination diet? I've been reading online but could use some pratical advice.
  16. AnnJay
    I started using red wine vinegar instead. I do have tamari (wheat free soy sauce) but now I suspect that I am reacting to soy as well. I'm certainly reacting to something! Today is day 1 of eliminating all kinds of foods; soy, and corn in addition to the gluten. Hopefully my bowels will recover soon. Then I can start the challenge diet and learn more...

    Gluten is not my friend. A few months ago I realized the digestive distress was caused by gluten. After removing the main sources, I then proceeded to make all the newbie mistakes with the hidden gluten. Since my reaction Lasts for 3-4 days, I have had few days of feeling healthy in the last 2 months. Some examples of the hidden culprits include the caramel...
