    Unfortunately, it sounds like you're going to have to make the mental break from your gm. Don't tell her about the stuff you've researched and don't try cooking for her - you're never going to get the appreciation or validation that you're looking for, 'cause she just doesn't care if it's not directly impacting her. It sucks, it really really does, and...

    That's fabulous!

    I know the purists say that charcol is better, but man... grilling-ready 365 days a year, with a 5-minute heat-up time can't be beat!

    I've heard that *some* people with a rice sensitivity will cross react with sorgum, but not everyone. So, there's a chance sorgum will be out for you. Montina, being a wild-rice based flour, probably will *not* be a problem, as wild rices aren't true rices at all, but a grass.

    I posted my rice based stuffing recipe around thanksgiving. Lots of mushrooms and fresh herbs to give it a nice earthy taste. That stuff is fab any time of the year!

    three slices of bread a day for three months is what I've heard (for adults).

    He needs to not be gluten free. He must be consuming gluten - at normal amounts - right up until all diagnostics tests that will be performed, are performed. The fact that he's been gluten free for three weeks may skew the results of the biopsy. Given that he's been this sick for this long, there's still a chance that the results will be accurate, because...

    actually, if you search pubmed, you'll find a number of studies supporting the theory that the 33-mer that triggers the autoimmune response DOES go through breastmilk. quite a surprising number of studies for something supposedly without research. I posted links to a bunch of them nearly a year ago. this definitely is not a new area of research.

    dutch process coco powder should be fine, but always read the label. adding malt to dp coco would be ... unthinkable! (you'd ruin so many things you might make with that coco...) but you can't take anything for granted.

    Casein is the main protein in any milk produced by any mammal. (haha... redundant, I supppose. ) There are different sub-types of casein, and some people are primarily only reactive to one (and hence, may be fine with goat's milk, which has very little of the sub-type that is found in much higher quantities in cow's milk), but many people cannot handle...

    keep a food/reaction log. don't expect him, or youself, to go off of memory. then you can *prove* the connection.

    There's no great way of knowing how far it will set you back, but another way to look at it is that it's all better from hear? Glad you figured out what the problem was!

    A baker would have gluten in his/her starter. Sourdough starter is the sort of thing that you can keep around for ages, as long as you keep feeding it. (Yep, it is alive! *cue Frankenstein music*) I've heard of it being handed down in families! But if you can find a gluten-free baker....

    yep - google gluten free sourdough starter and you'll probably find a few hits. the millet/soy bread was probably bitter from the quantity of soy and then the millet, if that's all it had in it. soy, particularly soy flour and yogurt, can have a little bit of a bitter taste, depending on your tastebuds. millet doesn't help. unless there's a lot of...

    I don't know... My husband doesn't do these things because he doesn't want me to get sick. Have you asked your husband why he does these things? Or rather, why he doesn't think about these things? Because he probably is working totally on autopilot and not thinking.

    I don't see where the dairy is. The "sour dough" ingredient left me perplexed... Did you mean sour dough starter? If so, there's no dairy in it - it's yeast and flour left out for two weeks or so to ferment.

    Be fair - you ARE asking for some kind of special treatment; you are asking for something different from everyone else. The important point is that you have a valid medical reason to ask for special treatment, not just a whim. So, I encourage you to *instruct* her to order you a salad so that you are not left out of the party. When she refuses ('cause...

    It's tough... the world isn't ready to deal with food restrictions in so many ways. Being in CA and WA, I've see a lot of accomodation, but less so when I've been on travel, so I wonder if part of your problem has been regional. Anyway... What frustrates me most about the advice for vegetarians to get protein is that it usually centers around dairy...

    I'm sure there are other good sushi places in Seattle, but try heading over to Rolls and Rolls Plus in Bellevue - an interesting variety.

    You didn't know, so please don't feel guilty. I would also encourage you not to be his parent when it comes to food. If he's asking you what he can and can't have, and always relying on you for that, he won't be able to manage the diet on his own if he ever needs to (business trip, illness, etc.) Rather, do it together.

    I'm going to quibble with your 1600-1700 number. If I'm not fairly active, 1700 calories a day will have me putting on weight, albeit slowly and 1600 is only just under my maintenance. When you're small and short, you don't need a lot of calories. (Those numbers aren't severe cuts for me either. ) I do agree with the concept, however. I've seen...

    You could always switch to tea. So many wonderful flavors out there!

    don't forget to carefully read the ingredient labels on the ones marked as being allergen free - wheat free does *NOT* mean gluten free, as it could still have barley, rye, or oats.

    Outback does not seem to sufficiently educate their general staff (on average - some chains are better at this than others) about contamination. So, you have to remind them about "no croutons anywhere near my food and mix that salad in a clean bowl" and generally be somewhat demanding. But, you know what? You're paying for the service! (Note to those...

    If safety features are a high priority, look at the Jetta. When we bought our new car (back in '02), safety was probably the most important item on our list, as if we have kids, they'll ride in it. One of the things we found is that there's quite a gap between safety features on cars - there were three that we were seriously considering due to safety, the...
