    You might have to make your own Hoison sauce, I think all the ones I looked at contained wheat. I just nabbed a recipe off the internet.

    You might check into pouch cooking. Bascially you're making a packet and putting in things like meat, veggies, maybe rice noodles, spices and set them into the oven to cook for awhile. You can customize them for each eater. It was a good episode on Good Eats. Here's a synopsis of that show: Open Original Shared Link And a transcript of the show...

    ARCHIVED Paleo Diet

    Nancym replied to lisaemu's topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    I think coconut milk adds a wonderful creaminess to many foods.

    Ok, after you've picked out your coconut, you'll want to read this web site: Open Original Shared Link It's how to actually get the darned thing open.

    ARCHIVED Paleo Diet

    Nancym replied to lisaemu's topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    I'm pretty relaxed with the rules, but I do try to keep to paleo foods. The better I do, the better I feel.

    Wow, you really ought to see a doctor about that. It could be something more serious than just heart burn.

    The fact is we have antibodies for gluten in our intestines for years after going gluten-free. That's why Dr. Fine's testing doesn't require you to eat gluten. It does decrease though over time. Here's an abstract that you might find interesting: Open Original Shared Link

    I saw him in San Diego. I don't know if it is the same lecture but he was WONDERFUL!

    They are shifty and underhanded! I think I'm sensitive to peanuts myself. I get loose bowels sometimes after eating peanuts or peanut butter. I think the idea of trying peanuts alone is a good one. If you have to give up the peanuts you could try almond butter. I wish they'd put salt in it though, it always comes unsalted!

    Yikes! I'm always too late with this advise. But there's a right way and a wrong way to introduce new cats to a household. You can find the advise on the Internet. Just look for "introduce new cat". It really works. I have had wonderful results.

    Right now the medical profession doesn't really seem to differentiate between celiac disease and gluten sensitivity other than a few folks like Dr. Fine. But those of us with symptoms that go away when gluten free, that don't have positive bloodwork or biopsy, believe there are shades of gray that modern medicine isn't detecting. Gene testing used to...

    Your daughter sounds hypothyroid. Which might also be related to Celiac, since a lot of people with autoimmune thyroid conditions also have gluten intolerance. But the hair loss, weight gain, menstrual irregularities are classic symptoms. Look it up on the Internet and see if that doesn't match her symptoms. You might want to find out what her TSH...

    Captn Obvious to the rescue! How about consulting the Enterolab FAQ? Open Original Shared Link There's a lot more there. Especially in the essay called "Before the villi are gone". Open Original Shared Link

    You should see a rhuematologist. The autoimmune disease I have, Akylosing Spondylitis, shows up in young men very early. It attacks the joints. Although it usually starts in the lower back. Not that he has it, but a rheumy could do the tests.

    I wouldn't expect the celiac diagnosis process to change very quickly, if at all. It took 10 years for doctors to change how they treat ulcers after it was found that it was a bacteria causing most ulcers, and that only happened after the NIH got involved in a huge push to reeducate doctors. Its like trying to steer a charging rhinocerous!

    The reasons for not allowing grains on the Paleo diet is that they include lectins which bind to nutrients and they tend to be antigenic (cause autoimmune responses). If you're going to follow paleo then those aren't allowed. However, I find I'm ok if I have an occassional grain treat. Although corn is really not good for me, it usually makes me pretty...

    Ok, seeing the words Cold Turkey over and over is setting off a major turkey craving! Ummmm... turkey!

    It's so funny. This post reminded me of a symptom I've always had but never connected to wheat. GAS! Good grief. Everyone in my family. We'd joke about it and thought it was normal. I remember feeling my stomach swell and the gas build up whenever I ate cookies. In particular one time I remember making the connection between cookies and farting. I...

    I've also got a very restrictive diet, basically just meats, fruits, veggies. No dairy, no grains, I also avoid starches and most sugars. Fortunately my cooking skills are good. I enjoy investigating new spices and techniques. For instance, I'm not a huge fan of eggs, but I like "sweet omelets". Basically omelets with spices like nutmeg, a bit of...

    Yeah, they're on this web site! https://www.celiac.com/catalog/product_info...products_id=484 They have it in English and then in the language of the cuisine, so in your case, Indian! Here's a good article for you: Open Original Shared Link

    You might want to think about getting dining cards. I use the triumph ones and it makes eating out so much easier!

    Let me know how it comes out! I bought a turkey breast last night. I'm thinking... a rosemary heavy rub. Or actually, maybe I'll brine it overnight.

    Oh hey! Look what I found: Open Original Shared Link Dysmenorrhea: [snippet] Ugh... I'm 48, but I haven't ever had a baby.

    Actually, I often get D with my period. I found out it isn't that uncommon. Several other women mentioned they do too. I've been wondering if it might indicate endometriosis.

    Better yet, I have a recipe I can point you to! Open Original Shared Link. It is a cured pork shoulder recipe from the executive chef at The Fish House, fantastic restaurant in Vancouver, CA. And here is a greek rub that is good on everything: Open Original Shared Link So far I omit the cornstarch and boullion (didn't have it on hand) and the cinnamon...
