ARCHIVED Spaghetti Sauces Home Made
tarnalberry replied to Linda422's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
As peter noted, read the ingredient labels. I buy the large bottle of McCormick Italian Seasoning (majoram, thyme, rosemary, savory, sage, oregano, and basil) for times I'm feeling lazy. Single herbs individually is even better, because you can customize the flavor you want (sometimes I want it more sage-rosemary, sometimes more basil (though dried basil... -
ARCHIVED Spaghetti Sauces Home Made
tarnalberry replied to Linda422's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
The easiest way to go is canned diced tomatoes, italian seasoning, salt to taste, and simmer until the consistency you want (like an hour or two). Three other ways I make sauce: https://www.celiac.com/forums/topic/6981-as-promised-a-few-recipes/page__view__findpost__p__159198 -
Eh... that gadget doesn't look like it's worth the money. You still have to do the same work (I'd argue more!) to get the job done, and it makes you add non-sushi ingredients (oil where the rice goes!?!). In other news, I'm a food snob. lol

ARCHIVED Newly Diagnosed Celiac- Have Removed Gluten But Still Having The Primary Symptom!
tarnalberry replied to tscc's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
If you are using shared condiments, a shared toaster, and other sources of contamination, you are not yet gluten free, and cannot really expect to get better until you go completely gluten free. -
ARCHIVED Myths About Gluten In Everyday Non Edible Objects?
tarnalberry replied to irish daveyboy's topic in Super Sensitive People
Why would it be used? Because it has properties that many people want in cosmetic products: Open Original Shared Link "Properties: Excellent tensor & film-forming properties (increases firmness of the skin), nourishes and smoothes skin & hair (improves skin feeling & softness), moisture retainer (protects skin & hair from drying out),... -
This. 100 times over, this. To be fair, I have seen a label on one variety of seasoned rice vinegar that had gluten, but I cannot fathom any restaurant going to the extra expense of buying such an item rather than using original ingredients.

ARCHIVED A Freedom Diet? Im So Lost!
tarnalberry replied to Dejibo's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
Can you clarify a bit? "Flour" free doesn't really make sense, as you can make flour out of many things. You can make flour out of grains, yes, but also things like tapioca (which you list, but it's not a grain) or arrowroot (also not a grain, but a tuber) or beans (again, no grains, but legumes) or almonds (neither grains nor legumes or tubers, but nuts... -
ARCHIVED Blue Diamond Almonds?

I haven't had a problem with them. -
ARCHIVED Dr Won't Tell Me Test Results?!?
tarnalberry replied to smpalesh's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Call back, ask them to send you a copy of the results. Period. You have legal right to your medical records. -
?? A salmon roll should be gluten free. Ditto any basic roll. Unless, of course, they do stupid things to their sushi rice (which *I* still have never experienced, though I do totally believe the people who have). Making your own isn't too hard, but does take time. :/

ARCHIVED Can Celiac Cause Slow Growth In Ebf Baby?
tarnalberry replied to megsybeth's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
If he was celiac from birth and you were NOT gluten free at that time (early breastfeeding), then yes, he could have gotten glutened from your breastmilk and that could cause slow growth. If you were gluten free during that time, however, no. -
ARCHIVED Soy?
tarnalberry replied to MdkIrish's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
He may have meant that most soy sauce contains gluten (wheat). It is clearly listed on the label. -
ARCHIVED How To Convince Dr To Test 21/2 Year Old
tarnalberry replied to Sheloveshim's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
So many doctors (including pediatricians) have absolutely no clue when it comes to breastfeeding (they get all of a day of training on it in med school, is my understanding) and even less about extended breastfeeding. It's horrid. -
ARCHIVED How To Convince Dr To Test 21/2 Year Old
tarnalberry replied to Sheloveshim's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
I'm sorry you have a moron for a doctor there. The soft enamel, undigested food, abdominal pain, and easy bruising are all STRONG celiac warning signs. I suggest one of three things: 1) Go back in, say "Undigested food, abdominal pain, easy bruising from anemia, lack of weight gain, and soft tooth enamel are all very strong signs for celiac disease.... -
ARCHIVED Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Soy-Free Protein Supplement?
tarnalberry replied to archaeo in FL's topic in Sports and Fitness
I've used plain rice protein powder, hemp protein, pumpkin seed protein (my favorite), and veggie blend, and pea protein. They've all been fine in smoothies. -

DD (2.5yr) has always had what we've had - stirfry is probably her favorite. -
ARCHIVED What Next For My Baby Now That I'm Celiac +?
tarnalberry replied to megsybeth's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Unless you know, or have a good reason to suspect, that baby is celiac (or non-celiac gluten sensitive), there's not reason that you continuing to eat gluten will have any negative effect. You say "baby has reacted to my breastmilk in the past", but don't elaborate. If it's off and on symptoms, but you've been on gluten the whole time, you can't make... -
ARCHIVED Gluten Intolerance Or Just Really Bad Timing/luck
tarnalberry replied to RyanIN's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I was in a situation not dissimilar from yours. I did a second round of testing gluten on myself after another month gluten free. One coincidence... possible. Two at the same time... not very likely at all (though still *possible*). -
IrishHeart, I totally believe that nothing worked until you went gluten free. Stress isn't the only source of inflammation and bad things! I'm glad you have found a combination of things that can help you, though!
-
No big wonder at all. You learned to calm your sympathetic nervous system, hence reducing the amount of inflammation-inducing stress hormones going around, and hence reducing the amount of inflammation in your body (which generally causes havoc!). You gave your parasympathetic nervous system more ability to operate, giving more blood flow and hormonal support...

And you're eating a lot of low energy-density foods. The don't have many calories for their size and ability to fill you up. Which is great for some people, but not so great if you're needing the calories (and sustained energy) to keep your blood sugar up.
-
Fruits, veggies, meats, gluten-free grains (corn, rice, quinoa), beans, nuts/seeds... We mostly skip the packaged foods.

ARCHIVED Sharing My Gluten Free With A Gluten Eater
tarnalberry replied to Angel M's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
This seems to be the heart of the problem, really. That he isn't respecting your choice to not share your food. And I'd sit down and talk to him about it. It's not reasonable to expect you to share with him when he cannot share with you. Don't get me wrong, I can't fault him for asking, but he should respect your decision to keep your own food since you... -
ARCHIVED Which Is More Likely?
tarnalberry replied to Sunny600's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
These days, when we travel, we tend to go to places that have kitchens that where we can cook our own food. It's way cheaper this way too. (Seriously, I think we had ahi almost every night when we last went to Hawaii... it is cheap to buy at the store there!) -
