lol I do understand that being vegetarian is harder in some areas than others. Visit the west coast some time - they're pretty good with it.

ARCHIVED Blood Type Diet Could Improve Health
tarnalberry replied to Candy's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I also don't think there's anything particularly useful in the specifics of the blood type diet. I think that there is value in that it provides a framework for suggestions of methodologies for people to try in order to experiment and determine what works best for their body. Basically, it's useful as additional thought and discussion material, but - imho... -
ARCHIVED Starving All The Time
tarnalberry replied to emcmaster's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
And the timing could be an issue - I can deal better with meals that are 'unbalanced' (lower in fat/protein) if they're later in the day, and my earlier meals are well balanced. That's just me. Hathor has a good point in that you need to listen to your body. I ask these questions because I know what happens to me - as a hypoglycemic - if I eat low... -
ARCHIVED My Twin Brother
tarnalberry replied to JerryK's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Identical twins were at a 70% chance if one had it? Something like that. Given his response, I think he probably has it. Good luck on that one. -
ARCHIVED Very Very Concerned Parent (long)
tarnalberry replied to nogluten77's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
The only followup testing I'm aware of is repeating the antibody tests, looking for very low numbers. If they're not, then it's a sign that he's geting gluten from somewhere - be it malt in a breakfast cereal, oats in the candy bar, playdoh at school, wheat germ oil in a lotion, or wheat in a dog food or whatever. After that, I hope pushing on the doctors... -
ARCHIVED Gluten In Some Animal Meats?
tarnalberry replied to BBadgero's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
Yep, it is not a problem. The proteins in the grains are metabolized by the digestive system and not directly 'stuck' into the proteins in the muscle of the animal. -
raw food recipes for brownies, 'ranch dressing', and even pizza are *good*!!!

ARCHIVED Shopping
tarnalberry replied to pinktulip's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I go to Whole Foods (Tinkyada, some specialty items that are mostly local), EnviroKids, Ener-G pretzles, energy bars, Food for Life tortillas, Bobs Flours), PCC, Trader Joe's, and Safeway. -
ARCHIVED Confused About Soy
tarnalberry replied to Anonymousgurl's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
I'm a little confused on the "carrageenan = MSG" claim. Open Original Shared Link is derived from seaweed (harvested, dried, ground, sifted, washed, centrifuged, and further dehydrated). It's a Open Original Shared Link (lots of sugars), molecularly. MSG is a Open Original Shared Link. It can be produced by the body, and is found naturally in tomatoes... -
ARCHIVED Gluten And Dairy Free?
tarnalberry replied to chocolatelover's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
Dark chocolates are often dairy free (always check the label), and TerraCotta and TraderJoes both make milk chocolates with rice milk that are dairy and gluten free. -
ARCHIVED Trader Joe's Sunflower Butter
tarnalberry replied to Mtndog's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
It is good stuff and makes a good change from peanut butter even if you can have it. -
ARCHIVED Already Had Cancer
tarnalberry replied to pat e's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Cruises are often already set up to accomodate you. Group tours can be more difficult, but it depends on where you go, and if you can get a hotel that has a small kitchen in it. Hotels with kitchens are the easiest way to go, so you can cook, but you can also just do research ahead of time on restaurants and grocery stores in the area that have things that... -
make use of the 'safe/unsafe' list on this site (go to 'site index' on the left of your screen, and navigate from there). natural and artificial flavors would have to note if they contained wheat (due to the food allergy labeling law) but not rye, barley or oats. some companies (search around here for the posts that list them) have a full disclosure policy...

ARCHIVED Chocoholics There Is Hope
tarnalberry replied to Deanne's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
ghiradelli, while having a lovely factory tour if your in san francisco, PUTS MILK IN THEIR DARK CHOCOLATE. hence, they are evil. -
ARCHIVED New Doctor - Allergy Testing
tarnalberry replied to super-sally888's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Good luck with how that goes. I'm also cough variant asthmatic. I agree with her - it's something to take seriously, but also not something to be paranoid over. Pay attention to your body (just like you're already starting to do GI-wise), and you'll learn what *you* need to know. (I know that mine is triggered by particular types of odors, even if otherwise... -
ARCHIVED Cross Contamination?
tarnalberry replied to #1mommy's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
'Cause we all know you can't wash vegetables... Sorry, but I think someone's pulling the machine picked wool over your eyes. And, I don't know how much you've been through farmland, but a lot of *fruits and vegetables* (not talking about grains) are primarily hand picked. Drive through Gilroy in the summer and you'll see gobs of people out in... -
double ditto jayhawkmom. for food... sorry.

ARCHIVED Help Please
tarnalberry replied to Johnny123's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Sometimes, those two are signs of allergy problems and/or asthma. -
ARCHIVED Pitfalls Of Self-diagnosis
tarnalberry replied to JerryK's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Even some *doctors* think that this is ample evidence. It's true! It's even written as the classic "confirmation test"! :o Why they don't use it more thoroughly.... -
ARCHIVED Would You Eat These Probiotics?
tarnalberry replied to Yenni's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
You might also check Solaray - they make a dairy free multidophilus that is gluten free as well. I'm not sure about the legume. -
ARCHIVED Ever Have Problems With Gluten Free Grains?
tarnalberry replied to Yenni's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
do you rinse the rice and quinoa before cooking them? quinoa absolutely needs to be *well* rinsed, and the rice may have corn(?) used in the enrichment process. it could be that those grains are bothering you, but the fact that you can eat rice (in volume) in some forms but not others leads me to suspect that, in the case of rice, it's something else. ... -
ARCHIVED gluten-free Tomato Paste?
tarnalberry replied to Granny Garbonzo's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
tomato paste isn't "thickened" with something other than removal of water. you can make your own by simmering tomatoes for *a long time* - though doing that without scorching... that takes a delicate touch. -
ARCHIVED I Have To Vent!
tarnalberry replied to ptkds's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
I hope you get a chance to talk to the teacher and improve the situation, because their current track is just silly. -
ARCHIVED Just About Out Of My Noodle.. Help?
tarnalberry replied to MissBlueJ05's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
There isn't a lot of assistance because you don't *need* (physically) those gluten free specialty items. As blueeyed posted, there are lots of inexpensive, naturally gluten free items available from the regular grocery store, and the same basic philosophy for eating healthy inexpensively stands on the gluten free diet. Stick to nutrient dense, inexpensive... -
ARCHIVED Dental Enamel Defects Connected With Celiac?
tarnalberry replied to Yenni's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
yes, there is a link, though usually it's an issue of poorly formed enamel due to deficiencies. you can google it or search on pubmed for more information. (I don't have oodles of details, just know that there is a link to enamel deficiencies in particlar.)
