  1. Aw, I love that you’re trying to keep the chickens dry during their mealtime. We’re getting the rain here too today, although not 7 inches worth! Yikes! Stay safe with the possibility of flooding, it’s been such an odd spate of weather lately. Looking forward to some nice crisp fall air ?
  2. Long time no “see”!! How you doing? ?
  3. Ooh, never thought to check out the new emojis!!?
  4. Hi Bartfull, just popped over to say I wish you peace. I remember you as such a positive presence on this board.
  5. I've been gluten free for 10 years, and have never come across a turkey that had gluten. *Of course, a pre stuffed turkey or a gravy packet non withstanding.* By law, any wheat ingredients (self basting turkeys for example) would have to be listed on the label. I already have my Butterball in the freezer.
  6. Carrageenan is used as a thickener, to enhance texture, it's not a probiotic. If it's in a product, it will be listed as such on the ingredient list.
  7. Hi, I noticed that you use almond milk, and thought I'd pass along something that I learned while doing a dairy free trial a while back and subbed almond milk for dairy in my daily tea. A lot of commercial almond milks contain carrigeenan, which can cause pretty severe intestinal irritation in some people. It's *not* a gluten issue, but it's something...
  8. Yes! He told me about this also
  9. Just an FYI that I thought might be helpful to some here. Recently, I was at my local Ruby Tuesdays, where I've always felt perfectly safe ordering off the gluten free menu. I simply mention to the waiter that I'm gluten free, and I've never had a problem there. This time, shortly after ordering, the manager came over, introduced himself and told...
  10. Truly one of a kind:). I came across her name recently in my address book while looking for someone else. Made me smile.
  11. Both the name brand and generic Lexapro are gluten free.
  12. Hi, and welcome to the board:) I live in South Jersey, just outside of Philadelphia. There is a nice little dedicated gluten free bakery on S 9th St, in the Italian Market called Taffets. They have excellent breads, rolls, biscotti and they do cakes to order. In the general area, check out Red Robbin, Outback Steakhouse, PF Changs, Elevation Burger,...
  13. I love it too. My cravings have absolutely disappeared, and there are times I have to remind myself to eat. Tracking my carbs has led to my tracking calories for the first time in my life, and it was a real eye opener to realize I was putting away 2600 or more calories a day before, including around 200 grams of carbs. My present calorie goal daily...
  14. Yes! I found adding more sea salt helped considerably.
  15. Just bought some yesterday at Wegman's. yum-o!
  16. I understand. Read up on it and how the body actually uses the various fuels we put into it and do what feels right for you.
  17. Hi nvsmom, how are you doing? I did buy a bottle of Keto sticks because I was curious. I consistently show positive, but I realize that means that I'm burning fat for fuel--but it could be either stored or dietary-- or a mixture of both. I read "How I Gave Up My Low Fat Diet and Lost 40 Pounds" by Dana Carpender, and enjoyed the quick and easy to...
  18. nvsmom, I am doing Keto. My daily carbs top out right around 30 grams, give or take a very few. I personally find this level comfortable. I started this way of eating on a Friday, and had some lightheadedness that first weekend. I expected it, and just took it easy. My appetite adjusted quickly, thank goodness. I would say my adjustment period...
  19. I'm on one now. I am doing this with the expectation that I can make it a lifestyle instead of a "diet". The number one reason is that I have severely high blood pressure that despite two meds is uncontrolled. Five days eating no more than thirty grams of non starchy carbs a day and it was 117/76. At my last doctor visit, it was 160/100. It has been...
  20. Say it ain't so!
