    The only reason I got tested was so I could have a piece of paper to wave at my family and tell them they probably have it too. It didn't work though. They don't want to go gluten-free.

    I'm following paleo diet, which is pretty close to just fruits, veggies and meat. I make a lot of Thai curries, I start with curry paste (made from garlic, chilis and what not) I get online. Then I add veggies and meat (usually chicken). I eat it like a stew or serve it over steamed broccoli. Coconut milk is an important ingredient to have onhand...

    Kathy, I'm sure you already know this but there's a growing interest in eating a paleo-style of diet (not necessarily raw, most of us cook our food), the diet that human kind has been eating for much longer than agriculture has been around. I know I would love to have more cookbooks around dedicated to cooking whole, natural foods in the paleo style. I...

    Here's a link to another article about how consuming plenty of protein makes weight loss easier: Open Original Shared Link And another about the hormone PYY and protein: Open Original Shared Link

    If you don't have any sort of dessert planned, how about explaining about the celiac and asking her to bring fruit instead?

    I think relying on substitutes and convience foods just makes it that much harder. When I get back to eating foods without ingredient lists as long as my arm, I get much healthier. Seriously, I try make as much as I can from scratch. The other thing that helps is having a journal to find other sensitivities. I had terrible diarrhea from eating raw...

    You have to be careful even of tamari, some of them do have wheat. Check the ingredients, of course! But I use San J.

    Latin is a dead language, It's plain enough to see. It killed off all the Romans And now it's killing me! (Read that somewhere when I was a kid)

    I made this tonight, without any added flour and starches. It was delicious! I can see why they have you put it in, the meat was pretty greasy and having a lot of grease floating around in your taco shell just isn't pleasant.

    Unfortunately for many of us, eating starches like rice and corn causes us to eat too much. It makes your blood sugar high, which causes you to produce a surge of insulin, which then causes your blood sugar to drop quickly and go too low. That stimulates you to eat again. It is a terrible, vicious circle. Not only that, but grains are very addictive....

    Mild is bad enough! Basically all my joints hurt at times, tendonitis, TMJ, random muscle spasms. I think sticking to a low-starch, paleo-type of diet is helping. I hope you test out ok! I think finding a good rheumy is very important.

    Gotta say I agree with Ursula. If your symptoms don't resolve goign gluten free you can pursue more testing, but it kind of sounds like they do.

    It's fat basically. If I recall my Alton Brown lessons correctly, it "shortens" the strands of proteins (usually gluten) that get twisted together that keep baked goods from falling apart. So it makes baked goods tender.

    Rachel beat me to it. My hands shook so hard with Graves disease I couldn't eat soup. Another thought is low blood sugar. Cutting down on carbs increasing fat and protein should help with that. You might want to look up the symptoms of hyperthyroidism and see if you have any other symptoms.

    I try to avoid all grains. I can't think what the flour would add taste-wise. Texturewise it probably makes the meat less greasy.

    Liver problems can definitely cause nausea. Not sure about the fever though.

    I also had a positive ANA (Slightly speckled). But the follow up test (anti-DS? forget the name) was negative. They diagnosed me with ankylosing spondylitis, an autoimmune arthritis that causes tendons to fuse together. I have it very mildly though.

    I'd like to be able to replicate the stuff at Chipotle.
  19. Nancym
    I was having the same craving and figured out on the internet someone surely could reproduce that flavor. I think I'll try to replicate this weekend, but I'll omit the flour.

    The dining cards are pretty good about explaining everything. I've been having very good luck with them. (Triumph Brand). I've got a big fat stack of them in my purse.

    Thanks for moving this, Mods.

    I did a search on gluten paper towels and Clan Thompson said that some paper towel manufacturers use gluten to hold the fibers together. :\ Do a search on gluten in paper products... it is rather shocking. Here's a sample: Open Original Shared Link Snippet:

    I was looking on the internet for recipes that would make ground beef taste like Taco Bell. This is what I found (has flour in EVERYTHING!) Open Original Shared Link

    I hope that was a long, long time ago because that isn't how ulcers are treated these days. They're usually caused by a bacteria and the treatment should be antibiotics. It might be worthwhile to seek treatment again. I'm not sure how Enterolab deals with it, but you might have an IGa deficiency, in which case those could all be false negatives. ...

    Maybe get the triumph cards? They include indian cuisine.
