    lister, i've mentioned this to you a few times, and you haven't seem to responded, but i'll try again. perhaps you should focus on more of a whole foods diet then eating so many pre-made and processed items.

    Open Original Shared Link Calming the immune system Last updated: Wednesday, November 09, 2005 A substance called tryptophan, found in turkeys and a number of other foods, can suppress an overactive immune system and may point the way to new treatments for autoimmune disorders, according to new research. Stanford University scientists found that...

    so i'm watching jeopardy and the 500$ question under 'dairy' was... "this milk protein ... something... " i don't remember. anyway, first guess was 'curd'. second was wrong, too (I forget). my memory is clearly horrible! it was casein. i would be $500 richer!

    perhaps it was just a weird reaction - i literally drink one Mug a day... it's my favourite root beer, and i have never had a problem with it.

    nancym - i mentioned in another post that i got the book from ebay for about 5$ instead of buying it brand new. either way, it is worth every penny.

    most of them are based on nutritional yeast - some with cashews, agar agar for texture. they also have cheese recipes in it (not just cheese itself), but meaning soups, stews, casseroles, et cetera. it ranges from fake block cheese to cream cheese to nacho cheese to cheeze whiz.

    I have three books: Dangerous Grains, Gluten Free for Dummies, and Wheat Free Worry Free. I feel as though they are all excellent. I bought gluten-free for Dummies for my father, who doesn't understand much until he reads it, and I wanted something simple and updated for him. I think they're all great.

    most gum is gluten-free. and yes, smarties in canada have gluten in them. but m&ms are fine.

    i found that after diagnosis, i got extremely sensitive. i loved spicy foods, and could no longer even use black pepper for awhile. vinegar even bothered me (too acidic). i lived on a diet of about nine foods for six months.

    mini skittles (or little skittles, not too sure what they are called) are NOT gluten-free.
  11. lorka150
    The book I mentioned, the Uncheese Cookbook, has many things that 'melt' perfectly and work well in casseroles. Pending the recipe, you might be able to go cheeseless, add some nutritional yeast, and go from there.

    hi jeanne... i feel like i'm stalking you. i am not sure if the 'diet' is changing your reaction, but i wanted to say that over time, my symptoms have differed from one reaction to the next. some are constant, some are new. it IS possible that since you have consumed so much less gluten, that your bod is more sensitive, thus triggering the cross contam...

    lister - perhaps if you focus on whole, natural foods for awhile, your body might readily adjust. you might be getting cross contaminated without knowing it (from prepackaged goods).

    both tootsie rolls and jolly ranchers are gluten-free.

    the sugarfree, fatfree instant pudding has dairy derivitaves.

    Hi Becky, When I got extremely ill, I lost 60lbs quite rapidly, and was literally about to die unless I didn't gain weight. Whilst I did not have an appetitite stimulant, a lot of people recommended me Ensure (very high calorie, used to gain weight), but I couldn't use it because I am casein free. However, I focused ANY sort of appetite on high calorie foods...

    scrunt, i also use a dairy-free one. it's bio-k, in case it is the same. i love it, and it has helped me tremendously (in all aspects).
  18. lorka150
    they are lactose free but contain casein. sometimes dairy free is over-used as lactose free.
  19. lorka150
    I am casein free also, and use Chetfield's Carob Powder for all of my baking (I am allergic to cocoa), as well as hot carob drink and mochas.

    Butterball turkey dogs are available in Canada, and those are gluten-free. I've never tried them, as I do not like hot dogs, but they might be close. Open Original Shared Link I looked them up for you, and there is no soy in them.

    matilda - have you tried the kasha (as opposed to buckwheat flakes)? those are the only ones my mom will eat.
  22. lorka150
    I agree with eKatherine. When I got really ill, I quit my job at a market/bakery because I was ingesting like crazy. I kept getting 'sicker' and quit all jobs, and found one online where I make my own hours. It really has helped, in that sense.

    AndreaB- Just so you know, I got mine from ebay for very cheap (I think about $5!). If you want to seek that out
  24. lorka150
    that was like when i was first diagnosed, and i started reading symptoms, and couldn't believe the things traced back (like canker sores when i was a kid, constantly... triggered by mono... et cetera). it really blows your mind!
  25. lorka150
    nini - i promise you, i am very sensitive and have never reacted to anything by bob's except for the products that i mis-read as literally gluten free, but not made in their gluten free facility. free samples = great!
