    it tastes salty, and slightly soy-ey. whether you like it or not depends on what you use it in, and your tastebuds. I like in in some things, and really don't like it in others. (not a fan of it as a sub for soy sauce in most stir-fries, actually. certainly not the more savory ones.)
  2. tarnalberry
    I don't think that was mirin. Open Original Shared Link is a sweet rice wine, and should never have soy sauce in it.
  3. tarnalberry
    I'd get different mirin - it shouldn't have wheat in it.

    barring medical contraindications (kidney problems, for instance) magnesium can work well. senna is also an option.

    I don't know if it's available there (I'm not there ), but I like Bard's Tale.

    I eat from their salad bar without problem - the majority of the foods there are gluten free, and so there isn't a lot of space for cross contamination. Ditto with the soup. Not so with the hot foods, which I tend to shy away from most of the time.

    erewhon makes rice crispies without the barley malt. they taste pretty much just the same.

    Tooth enamel problems are not uncommon in people who've had celiac since they were a child, but didn't know about it. Nutritional deficiencies (even minor ones) can cause the enamel to form improperly.

    oh no, I'm a cheap drunk

    GFP... That was a lovely way to use a lot of detail (accurate though it may be) to confuse people who won't follow it, and in the end, doesn't make for a good, practical, applied answer in the real world. In a lab, maybe, but not in the real world. (I may not have your qualifications, by I think my BS in applied physics with a focus on p-chem allows me...

    the only things I *ABSOLUTELY* trust are whole, unprocessed foods. sorry. :/

    having at least one or two options that are easily modifiable would be nice - as we can see from here, many celiacs have other intolerances that they may need to work around as well.

    If you are celiac, you cannot ever have gluten. Gliadin, horedin, and secalin have sections in them recognized by the immune system in the intestines which cause the creation of other molecules that attack the intestines (the autoimmune reaction). That's just how celiacs are chemically 'wired', thanks to genetics that codes up our immune system. Nothing...

    a few people find they are bothered by vinegar - you may find that it is vinegar itself, even, not gluten in it, that bothers you.

    different pastas (brands) will freeze differently, but it's probably going to be difficult to avoid the ice crystals from causing damage that makes the pasta mushy. the best thing to do would be to make sure the pasta freezes as quickly as possible (dry ice can work here, but probably isn't worth the cost).

    I had them on my upper arms for ages - since I was a kid until a couple years ago. Never really bothered me except for itching a bit now and then and looking annoying. Turned out, as soon as I got them a bit more exposure to the sun (moderate, not sunburns or even really much in the way of tanning), they went away.

    Speak up in restaurants! Ask to talk to the chef. Ask lots of questions, have a little write up. Be your own advocate. Yes, it may seem like an imposition, but you have to take care of yourself. And you are part of that group, so you *do* have some say over restaurants. At those nicer restaurants, chefs *can* make meals that are safe for you, if you...

    I'm sorry you have to see them make those decisions. As much as we have every right to chose to be healthy as stay gluten free without people unwantedly badgering us to eat wheat, they have the right to be not healthy and not be gluten free without people unwantedly badgering them to avoid wheat. I can't imagine, however, how hard that is to do with your...

    hehe... I must have sensitive taste buds I use it to sweeten items with both of those flavors. (my cranberry sauce this year was sweetened with agave.)

    Open Original Shared Link is just spanish appetizers, usually served as a number of different dishes, enough to make a light meal. (or heavy, if you get a large number of different dishes. )
  21. tarnalberry
    I sub it in muffins/quick breads, though I still generally use even a bit less than 1/3 to 1 (but I find most common recipes oversweetened...)
  22. tarnalberry
    do you have a regular general physician - the same person you see for general things - who keeps up on this who can help direct your care? they should be making sure you get the proper tests so that you aren't left in an unnecessary, debilitating position.

    humidifier, lots of hot tea with honey, sinus rinse... really, for me, the answer is steroids and hydrocodone, but that's not exactly easily accessible...

    huge caveat: I have no kids, so this is all heresay. I hear that each kid/pregnancy is different, so I'd think that you could try (trying not to place too heavy of an expectation on yourself) to breastfeed, and switch - as you did last time - if need be. Maybe it'll be different, maybe it won't, but you won't know until you try?

    I wanted to second the recommendation to find a chiro, along with the caution from confusedks about finding a good one. A good, structurally-based chiro will make sure that she is spending more time doing postural exercises than traction than getting adjusted - all of which are necessary, but just getting adjusted a couple times a week isn't going to do...
