    We can't have malt made from barley, and unless you call to find out, you should assume that "malt" is derived from barley. Yes, almost all mainstream cereals have it - we all hate that fact with a vengance and think it's one of the stupider things about mainstream foods; the cereals certainly don't need it. But yes, you do need to stay away from it, because...

    Water and boullion (or broth), rice noodles, frozen shrimp, and frozen veggies (all heated long enough to get everything hot and the noodles cooked) makes for a very quick, one pot soup - chili oil adds a touch of spicy flavor, but the key ingredient here that will make or break the soup is the boullion or broth. Tuna, made with avocado if you can't...

    The ability to produce large quantities of lactase declines with age for all populations, for some more quickly than others, depending on genetics. Eventually it gets low enough that you feel the effects of undigested lactose being digested by bacteria in the intestines. Aging itself is a cause of lactose intolerance.

    I am also a fan of whole grain amaranth. I've used it in combination with beans and sausage and canned tomatoes to make a creamy sort of dish that was quite tasty. I haven't tried the boxed snacks.

    It doesn't have to be a situation that has gone away to retrain. You assume that the pain stems from an unhealthy relationship in the past, which is untrue. It stems from a medical condition (vulvar vestibulitis, which I've mentioned a number of times on here) - one that doesn't just 'go away' (just like celiac), and one that doesn't have drugs...

    You have celiac disease. So if you do eat gluten, even once a month, you'll increase your risk for other autoimmune conditions (like T1 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, autoimmune thyroid issues, etc.), nutritional deviciency issues (like anaemia, osteoporosis, excessive fatigue, etc.), intestinal and blood cancers, potential neurologic damage, and - on average...

    That's my whole point - classic conditioning is hard to undo because it is - above all else - extraordinarily reasonable. It's the body being extraordinarily logical. Only, it's logical for a particular situation, but that situation is *not* static. Especially not now that you know how to avoid getting sick. Figuring out how to make eating pleasurable...

    The experience you're talking about - hating eating due to the pain - it a pretty classic pavlovian response. I have had to work through (and am working through) some of the same issues with sex. If you're still haveing trouble with it, I encourage seeing a psychologist to help you with this. Undoing classic conditioning is a a psychological process, and...

    Cold air, and dry air, are both known triggers for asthma attacks. You should absolutely wear a scarf around your mouth and nose, and make sure to inhale through your nose - it both warms and moistens the air. Also, are you on maintenance meds for your asthma? That may be important through winter, unfortunately.

    Testing, for most things, but especially celiac, is never definitive. None of the testing for celiac is definitive. There are false negatives for all of the tests, though false positives are truely next to impossible, assuming a broader view of celiac than many doctor's take. Most doctors view the biopsy as the end-all-be-all. If there's, damage, it...

    ARCHIVED Eat Turkey

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

    Nope. You'll need to bring your own turkey, or other dish.

    Rainbow Light vitamins are also gluten-free/CF/SF.

    Your basal metabolic rate depends on your age, height, and weight, not to mention your genetics. You can find a number of online calculators to estimate your BMR using a variety of different estimations (Google will get you a number). For instance, for me, at 5'2", 118lbs, 28 years old, my BMR is 1328 calories/day. Going below that is not healthy. Not...

    I did a hard-core elimination diet, eating only a dozen foods for a week, then adding one in at a time. You can also go the opposite route, eliminating one food for a week or two, then adding it back in to test it. At the least, I would encourage eliminating any suspect foods - all the common allergens (peanuts, tree nuts, milk, eggs, shellfish, fish, wheat...

    I don't go through a website. I get the Rainbow Light vitamins at Whole Foods. But I found the food-based calcium on Open Original Shared Link, Open Original Shared Link, or Open Original Shared Link I've been using their just-once women's multivitamin as well, which was available at all of those locations as well, Open Original Shared Link, Open...

    ARCHIVED Hello

    tarnalberry replied to a topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff

    I'm in Seattle, well, east-side. There's a Seattle support group meeting this coming Monday!

    They do appear to go hand in hand with a non-trivial number of celiacs. Headaches are fairly common signs of intolerances, and a headache is one of the symptoms I get from dairy.

    ugh! armetta, I hope you're feeling better soon.

    We have a Zojurushi rice cooker. Not small, but it does have a handle for carrying. It's also pricey. I wouldn't ordinarily get a 3 figure rice cooker, yes, I know , but my husband wanted to know he'd always have perfect rice no matter what he did. And, yeah, you always get perfect rice, pretty much no matter what. No scorched or extra toasty stuff...

    It's just me and my husband, but I dont' 'require' all gluten to be out of the house, I just won't cook it. If he wants some, he can have it; he just has to make it himself. Your husband and kids can do the same.
  21. tarnalberry
    Welcome!

    I make mine with rice (part short grain brown, part wild rice blend, part risotto) and everything else pretty much the same (onions, mushrooms, carrots, spices). You can also make it just like any other stuffing, from 'scratch', using gluten-free bread.

    Even if your allergy test was negative, you might be intolerant to casein. if lactaid isn't making a difference, that could be the problem.

    brown rice with butter and braggs (or soy sauce)... there's something about that combo which I just love. or make it into a fried rice. or with boullion. or mexican spices. or chicken broth, italian spices, and a bit of olive oil. or with a bunch of cut up veggies to make a pilaf. or made into rice pudding. or made into risotto. hehe... check out...

    Seattle has a number of places with gluten-free specific menus, including bakeries. Los Anglese (and the whole surrounding area) had a fair number of options as well.
