    propane is not expensive at all. filling up a canister is around $12-$20 depending on where you go. that will grill you up dinner for three months, four times a week, at least. restaurants are *far* more expensive.

    it is hard. and eating out that often... the chances for contamination just keep coming at you. I hope you're feeling better soon. but yes, either eat before, or bring something with you. keeping yourself healthy is ALWAYS appropriate. asking someone to eat poison is never appropriate.

    The alcohol in extracts is primarily an urban legend. The alcohol is distilled, and may not even come from wheat. Of course, if HD bothers you, try something different (including making your own), but extracts are not, generally speaking, a problem.

    I get it at Whole Foods. I pretty much only use olive oil or canola oil for cooking (depending on temperature) by taste preference, but I've used it on popcorn and in one or two things, and it works fine. I wouldn't get it quite as hot as you could get regular butter, but most of us don't cook at 450F on the stovetop anyway.

    ARCHIVED Dating?

    tarnalberry replied to JamiD's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Dating doesn't have to take place over meals or drinks. That's a, IM(not so)HO, a stupid old tradition, always having dates involve meals. "Oh, here's something we both need to do, why don't we do it together?" It should be "Oh, here's something we both find fun, and optional, to do. Let's go enjoy it together!" No need to stick with a silly tradition...

    I Can't Believe It's Not Butter has diary - buttermilk. The whipped EarthBalance is dairy free, and pretty good. You're right - dairy free is hard. Soy yogurt is not the same, there isn't any cheese that's the same (no, really, there isn't - the french quarter of me laughs at the idea there is), alternative milks don't have the same mouth feel, and so...

    lol, still more work than I want to do that often. everything but the use of the igniter switch and waiting five minutes for a lovely 400F grill.

    I use the spice hunter fajita seasoning, 'cause I'm lazy. Bell peppers, onions, and meat. The tricky part is how to cook them - the hotter, the better - and don't skimp on the oil (which is part of the "the hotter, the better", really).

    On average, 1 in 20 of those with first degree relatives with celiac will have celiac themselves.

    the recipe is on my Open Original Shared Link post...

    magnesium will also work.
  12. tarnalberry
    yes, you always have to read the ingredients. but, unless they've changed the formulations on all their bars, there *are* some varieties of organic food bar that are gluten free, and one or two that aren't. (you picked up the 'greens' version?)

    lol... I can't imagine the upkeep and work to use a charcol grill the 4 times a week that we grill.

    I would encourage you to take pictures or the plant to a local nursery for expert visual-based advice. Discoloring in the tips suggests salt to me (it first manifests in the leaf tips) but it's usually more of a 'burn' than yellowing.

    ditto what dionnek said - potato starch and potato flour are very different. (one is made from raw potatoes, the other cooked. they behave *very* differently - one will give you glue.)
  16. tarnalberry
    exactly what guhlia said - gluten free includes three *additional* things besides being wheat free. so wheat free is *not* enough. most things marked gluten free will not say wheat free, because wheat free is just a subset of gluten free, and hence is implied with gluten free.
  17. tarnalberry
    No. There are far too many things for me to eat to "cheat" with something that will hurt me.
  18. tarnalberry
    The full text of the (free) articles (the other three are full text available, iirc) I posted say just that. (That abstract is saying just that, so I'm not sure where the confusion is coming from. What else is it that you're looking for?) Peptide is just a fancy word for part of a protein - it's generic, and more so than gluten. 33-mer is noting that the...

    Vitamin deficiencies don't show symptoms until they're serious! Relying on symptoms to tell you if you're healthy or not really just isn't reliable - as you know from being an asymptomatic celiac. (You're intestines are being damaged and you aren't fully absorbing your food, but your body doesn't tell you it doesn't feel well.) As for pregnancy, untreated...

    gottcha. (and still no offense; it's not like I've got my own mass spec. in the house to run my own experiments. ) I also haven't seen a peer-reviewed, published study on it; but there are a lot of things with no peer reviewed published studies, so this one I go on inference. at the end of the day, it's what works for you.
  21. tarnalberry
    no offense taken - but I think we're talking about two different things. I agree that mint-condition non-stick pans don't need to be replaced, and I placed that caveat in my statement. the problem is that it's difficult to clean non-stick pans with the same rigor as, say, stainless steel, because, by their very nature, you cannot *scrub* them, to remove...
  22. tarnalberry
    no, for two reasons. one - the damage to your system and the full effect of gluten on you cannot be determined by symptoms alone; think about how many asymptomatic celiacs there are. two - the more and longer you ingest gluten, the larger and longer the reaction that causes intestinal damage will be.
  23. tarnalberry
    If there are scratches or dents in them, and they're in pretty any condition other than "fabulous" on the interior surface, then yes, you do need to replace them. There is no good way to scrub out what can remain in the scratches without ruining the pan anyway. (And, of course, my plug for not using non-stick pans except for a few very rare circumstances...

    The source database for nutriondata.com is the Open Original Shared Link which lists, amongst a large number of other things, fructose content of most foods.
  25. tarnalberry
    sorry for the technical density, but most summaries do a disservice to the actual study itself. and most of the things you're actually looking for haven't been summarized by an objective source.
