    Yep, it gets used - helps browning too, I think. Anyway, it's one of those reasons why you always have to read the labels before buying. Sudden recipe changes are another reason. :-)

    Most fruits and vegetables do require full sun. Think of it as just a different type of landscaping. Yes, it does require a fair amount of attention. I'm just in the beginning stages, but from what I understand from my experience so far and other gardeners is that the time committment comes in chunks - when first planting, primarily, and then just popping...

    Ever since the days of my high school environmental club and the lectures we did on methyl bromide (which is supposed to be phased out, but companies/states keep filing for exemptions), I've been very hesitant to buy non-organic strawberries, and since organic strawberries are expensive, I tend not to have them terribly often. But we're going to be planting...

    While I was never horribly sick at all, I don't think there's any secret, any tricky, or any special technique. You just do it. Remember that YOU are the one who is in control over what you eat. You make the decision to pick the food and accept the food that you shouldn't have. You control the muscles in your arms that pick up the food which is put...

    That would be the sort of difference that would do it. Interesting.

    ooo... that's now jumped right out of my knowledge base. I know gallbladder removal makes things different, but I haven't the faintest clue how! sorry. It could just be that taking some time would help. the cal/mag/D I take hasn't bothered my stomach (rainbow light, food based calcium), though one I took in the past has. but I think spreading it...
  7. tarnalberry
    Mag does cause D - you can balance that with calcium (which has the opposite effect). Spreading it throughout the day in multiple doses (even if you have to split the pills) is probably your best bet. And taking it with food.

    Yep - if I consume gluten regularly, I have C. Single events of gluten, spaced out over months, cause D for me. But prior to diagnosis, it was C.

    Interesting... I find fruit works much better for me than something grain based. (Grains are more likely to be unpredictable with my blood sugar than fruit.)

    In the 'compromise case', I wasn't referring to the breast feeding reducing the chance of developing celiac disease, but the introduction of gluten in the child's diet between the ages of 6 months and 9 months reducing celiac disease.

    lol... I've been sick all week and forgot you don't like fish. you can totally do chicken (that'd be quite tasty), you'd just either have to buy fresh, cut it up, and freeze it yourself, or thaw the frozen chicken and cut it before making the soup. I just hate having to deal with raw poultry when I want something fast. The main premise just being "frozen...

    just like any other hot cereal - mix with water or a milk (or milk-sub) and heat. on the stove or in the microwave. (the box should have instructions as well.) I think I used 1/4 cup quinoa flakes to 1 cup liquid, but it might be a bit less liquid than that.
  13. tarnalberry
    1. 30% of the population has at least one gene, but only 1% of the population has active celiac disease, so it's totally possible for it to be genetically in your family tree, but no one to have actually had it in memory, even if diagnosis was perfect. 2. only 3% or so of celiacs are diagnosed, so there's a good chance that someone else in the family may...

    We can donate blood, and while I don't specifically know about marrow, I suspect we can donate that as well. The difference between celiac and pretty much all the other autoimmune diseases is that the autoimmune trigger (gluten) is known and external to the body. There may be something unique about marrow I'm unaware of, however, that makes this difference...

    oat bran is, by calorie, 25% protein, 25% fat. 50% of it is still carbs. I keep frozen meat around - mostly shrimp, because I can get it cooked, and heat it up in the microwave with tomato soup for a quick meal. (add some lentils, you've got a full meal.) frozen shrimp/boxed soup - stuff you can keep on hand for months and hence stock up on.
  16. tarnalberry
    I think the problem is that pictures only give you 50% of the story. The other part is consistency and smell, which you can only tell... in other ways. I'm certainly not going to have samples for reference for either of those two senses. But it would certainly be better than nothing!

    camping! how to deal with gluten free foods camping, both backbacking or car camping. (whole foods, tillamook, and oberto all make gluten-free beef jerky, if you don't want to make your own!) since it's every two months, the cookout idea could be 4th of july themed, even!
  18. tarnalberry
    ooo... that would be a very interesting idea. my hair is lighter, and it might be fun to try it darker for a day. I hate the idea of permanent dye - anything that won't wash out - so that sounds idea. I wonder what roobois tea would do... fab ideas! I thought the Kool-aid didn't come out easily, though?

    I don't use makeup, but the topical products I use: * alba botanicals body creams & face moisturizer (I get dry skin easily) * vit e oil (currently using for the scar on my face) * natural crystal deoderant * neutrogena acne gel (as needed) * glycerine based soaps * trader joe's botanical shampoo/conditioner

    I've thought about dying my hair... Fruity hippie granola type that I am, however, I don't want to use harsh chemicals, and I sure don't need my hair getting frizzier! I've got some henna (of the slightly reddish variety, to add a small tint), but am worried about dying my skin along with my hair, and have been too chicken to try it. Maybe I can pay one...

    It'll be fine, though I'd put the gluten-free items on the top rack and the non-gluten-free items on the bottom, if you're using two racks, just to minimize contamination concerns.
  22. tarnalberry
    Perhaps we can 'make everyone happy', by saying that, if you choose to not introduce any solids for the first year, in the case where the mother doesn't have celiac disease (but she or the father is a carrier), she is gluten free until some point between 6 and 9 months, at which point she introduces wheat into her diet, which will get gluten into the breast...
  23. tarnalberry
    You said you've taken him off wheat... Have you taken him off the other sources of gluten - barley, rye, and oats? Have you eliminated gluten from hidden ingredients (modified food starch, soy sauce, etc.)? Have you eliminated cross-contamination - shared toaters, cutting boards, etc.?
  24. tarnalberry
    lol :-) when in doubt, cold/cold, no dryer. :-) and you don't need woolight or other 'delicate clothing' wash if you generally use a non-harsh detergent. (I've been using eco-friendly (non-petroleum based) liquid detergent for a number of years, and that stuff works great on all my clothes, and most of it is 'delicate/hand wash' due to fabric type.) the...

    Dry cleaning is funny... you don't normally need to do it even when clothing labels say you should. Companies will use the exact same fabric and put 'dry clean only' on the stuff that's made into women's clothes, and 'cold wash only, do not dry' on the stuff made into men's clothes. The dryer is torture on a lot of fabrics, of course, but I don't dry clean...
