ARCHIVED Gluten Free Food Prices...
lorka150 replied to diagnosed5yrsago's topic in Publications & Publicity
i understand. if i wasn't allergic to rice and buckwheat, as well as casein/egg free, i might opt to try something, too. -
NicoleAJ - I would be careful about first readings of MRIs, my sister (and many other people) have gone undiagnosed (well, misdiagnosed... we knew it was MS) for awhile ... In my sister's case, 11 years (she is 26 now). anyway, good to hear either way! about the stretches, if you're interested, i can talk to my mom and see if i can describe them to you...

ARCHIVED Gluten Free Food Prices...
lorka150 replied to diagnosed5yrsago's topic in Publications & Publicity
i have to agree with the people saying that it isn't expensive... i mean, celery and peanut butter and tofu cost me the same, no matter what as for flours, xanthan, and so forth... it might be 10$ for xanthan gum, but you don't use very much and it lasts a long time. the flours are the same price, unless you were to buy simple, refined flour. cereal... -
HAHAH! My eyes are the same for seeing far away (IE my glasses are fine), but my close up stuff is getting oddly better. wozzy - that's good news! unfortunately, that wasn't my situation, otherwise i'd be more hopeful.
-
thanks Doll, i'll forward that to my aunt. she'll like that. we're aware of all of that, but sometimes having actual info (IE written and recorded) is good. nicoleaj, everyone with MS in my family is on medication, so sometimes that is counterbalanced, and their other symptoms or side effects over power. my mom has specific stretches that she does from...

Hi everyone, I have horrible vision and was declared legally blind at a young age. If it weren't for the magic of thin-lens-creators, I would have five inch thick glasses Anyway, I am near-sighted, but have trouble seeing anything past two inches from my face. About seven years ago, I all of a sudden had to read (like in bed, a novel) with my glasses...

ARCHIVED Hidden Gluten
lorka150 replied to a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
i'm sorry, i dont remember the product, but i had something that said modified food starch (that's all), and in the french ingredients it say maize/riz (corn, rice). I am allergic to rice, so I called, and they said they use a mix. so it was rice based, too. still safe for most, but i wanted to add that in. -
ARCHIVED gluten-free Vegan
lorka150 replied to LonelyWolf307's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Thank you! That is so kind of you. I update it every day or two, so please check back if you are interested. Do you have any suggestions for me? Is it okay? (If you want to PM me, so we don't take over the thread, that's fine, too, if you do!) It's my first attempt at really DOING something.. -
ARCHIVED Bread Machine Recipes
lorka150 replied to gointribal's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
The two on my site below can both be made in a breadmaker with any flours. -
I had horrible night terrors, as well as paralysis. It was so scary, because I felt like I was suffocating. I would half-wake up, but if my face was in my pillow, and I was paralyzed, I could not breath. This happened forever (into my twenties), until I was diagnosed. After gluten and casein free, I've not had one since. I've no idea about the soy, but I...

ARCHIVED gluten-free Vegan
lorka150 replied to LonelyWolf307's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Hi there, On my website, i've made all of my baked goods (including both breads) with egg replacer as opposed to eggs. When I make them for the other gluten-free people in my house, I use eggs so i can save the egg replacer for when I feel like eating it, too. I am celiac, I eat an almost vegan diet (I'm vegetarian, but don't eat dairy or eggs... Basically... -
Hi, as you probably read above, autoimmune (esp. MS) is rampant in my family. I am NOT disagreeing with you (as I am living proof), but am wondering if you have any handy documentation? I have a few, but I know that some people would be interested (IE some of my family). Thanks!
-
i agree. i have celiac, my mom has ms, my sister has MS, my mom's mom has hypothyroidism and fibromyalgia, my mom's sister has hypothyroidism and MS, and my mom's brother has iritis. definitely connected.

ARCHIVED Please Say That Someone Has Experienced This!
lorka150 replied to rutland's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
It could be MS, yes. I am quite MS savvy, as I've grown up with it with three immediate family members of mine having it (I don't). However, my whole life I have had neurological symptoms (including what you've described), and had numerous MRIs, and so forth. I don't have MS (yet! ha), but my symptoms mimic a lot of them. It wouldn't hurt to get tested... -
ARCHIVED Pizza Sauce Alternatives?
lorka150 replied to jayhawkmom's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
i make a smiliar one with nutritional yeast in addition to those ingredients and with no garlic (although i would, i'm just allergic to it). the nutritional yeast is a powerhouse food, and you don't need to thicken it up with flour - it does the job. gives it the parm cheesey taste sans parm. -
my GI, internist, and allergist all said that prick tests for foods are only 50% effective. (not for environmental, that was 97% or similar).

ARCHIVED Swedish Apple Torte
lorka150 replied to tammy's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
it depends on what it is being used for in the recipe... agave nectar is a good replacement (all natural with a low GI). in all of my recipes, I always only use 1/3 of the sugar is calls for anyway, and replace that with honey or sucanat (pending what the recipe is). -

make it thai with peanut sauce. yum! -
Roughly 30 years after being diagnosed with Relapsing Remitting, most cases morph into progressive MS. Doll is right, mentioning the link of all autoimmune diseases, and a few people on this board do have MS. Three of my family members have MS, and everyone is my family has an autoimmune disease. I do not have MS (haha, yet), however, many of my symptoms...

Like CarlaB, I am casein intolerant with symptoms that are similar to gluten intolerance, except also with casein my brain fog comes immediately, and I generally lose most feeling in my legs. justme- I had cut out lactose first, and realized soon after eating anything lactose free but not casein free, that it was casein. that is how i initially determined...
