    I just wanted to note that rice is not a 'hypoallergenic food'. In countries where rice consumption is quite common, it is a fairly common allergen, just like wheat is one of the major allergens in this country. Exposure lelve *is* related to allergy development.

    Please listen to the trained medical professional who urged you to get tested: your dentist. A blood test really isn't that hard, and a licensed, practicing, trained medical professional has made a serious suggestion based on his/her experience and your presentation.

    do you mean plain ol' cocoa powder? if so, I've never seen one that isn't gluten-free. the ones I've used: hershey's (gluten-free, but I don't like it) giradhelli (alright) scharfen-berger (good stuff) ah-laska (good) green&black (good, but bitter) rapunzel (my preference)

    glutamates != gluten it's fine.

    If a person truely does not have celiac disease, and truely does not have any form of gluten intolerance (and I'm treating those two things separately here), and does not have any wheat allergy, then there should be no change going gluten free, because the body is not having any problem with gluten or wheat. If you're seeing D go away when you stop eating...

    yep, seems like that'd be a good forum for panels on the social aspects. some topics: addressing celiac in the workforce (do I tell my boss? what to do about team lunches? how to answer coworkers questions?) how to handle close family versus extended family versus friends how to handle eating out versus how to handle eating over at someone's house how...

    While I'm sorry to hear that you don't yet have an answer to the difficulties you're facing, I agree with you - this board does too often state that it's celiac disease. I'd like to point out, however, that you too a much more complete path to determining that it wasn't than the vast majority of people on this board. ;-) You played by the rules for getting...

    are you replacing gluten-filled filled with yet starchier, lower nutritional-value gluten-free substitutes? if so, you may want to give those up in exchange for fruits/vegetables. also, if you're now absorbing more of what you are eating, you may need to reevaluate your daily caloric needs, and slowly cut back on the quantity of calories you consume in ...

    The gluten itself will be out of your system quite quickly, but the autoimmune reaction that it has catalyzed can go on for up to two weeks. After that reaction has petered out, it will take time for your intestines to heal as well. It really varies from person to person, how long they feel unwell, if they get obvious symptoms. For me, it's about a week...

    the USDA has pervue over meat, and they require that anything that adds nutritional value (and any gluten containing ingredient is considered to add nutritional value) be put on the label. so if there's nothing on the label stating a gluten containing ingredient, it's safe.

    If you haven't already, try taking a look at a raw foods cookbook for some ideas. They've also got some great options for CF replacements that are fab (and it looks like not all nuts are off limits, just some of them). I've been trying to think of things that you can have that you could put on a baked potato. (I know that there's a CFSF margerine available...

    Are you certain? I've not had that experience in a restaurant, haven't seen that in a recipe, and can't imagine that at all - the two tastes simply do not go together in any salad dressing recipe I can imagine.

    While I have no problems with it, and I know they do regular testing on their gluten-free lines, others here have noted that they have had problems with their stuff.
  14. tarnalberry
    it doesn't actually have to be certified (the *real* certified stuff is quite expensive, unless you're in Modena, then it's surprisingly cheap, which is why I 'broke my back' carrying home a backback full of the stuff ;-) ). but you do want to check the ingredients on inexpensive balsamic vinegar; it can have things added to it. most of it doesn't - so...

    it can also be a sign of swallowing too much air. I do this a lot when I get sick, and am having problems with post nasal drip, or if I'm eating a lot of soup, or in a couple other eating situations.

    margerine on sandwhiches? I remember seeing that when I went to france and being *shocked*! :-) eh... whatever you grew up with, I suppose. :-) as for mashed potatoes, I'm CF myself, and found that using chicken broth is a pretty decent substitution. works fabulously for rosemary garlic mashed potatoes, and works reasonably well with a bit of olive...

    cut it open (I like the short way, then into quarters), then seed, then peel, then cut into cubes and steam or bake (drizzled with olive oil).
  18. tarnalberry
    nope. :-) I don't make potato salad much. I'll try it for my 4th of july bbq, though, and see how it goes. (not much help for this weekend, I know.) basically, though, I'd use red potatoes, and whatever vinaigrette tickles your fancy. there are lots of different kinds of recipes out there, depending on your preference of types - hot or cold, in particular...

    I also haven't had a problem with them. I think it's because they may share their lines, if production warrants, but they do have fairly strict cleaning requirements. :-)

    Being hypoglycemic, I don't really have the option to use insulin to address blood sugar issues when they pop up, so if I'm wanting a muffin or quick bread or the like, what I do is make them. That way, I can control the flours that go into them (use the higher protein/fiber/fat flours) and the other ingredients (like adding flax meal) to control the macronutrient...

    I pretty much never use margarine. You can cook with just plain olive oil or canola oil, and it will turn out just fine.
  22. tarnalberry
    are the bulldogs beer? if so, then you're getting gluten.
  23. tarnalberry
    When you say no starches, are you referring to no gluten-free grains, or no starches period? As in, are you going to have, for instance, sweet potatoes and carrots or no? You can easily get plenty of carbs from fruits and veggies without any gluten-free grains, but you'd have to plan for it by making sure to get high enough carb veggies.
  24. tarnalberry
    Don't want to bake your own? If you have until Monday, you've got time to make you're own... they're beeettttterrr! :-) (Lots of recipes on the web, depending on what you want. Not hard at all, just a lot of waiting for them to cook in the oven after waiting for the beans to soak.)
  25. tarnalberry
    rather than a creamy potato salad, make one with a vinagrette. (I believe that's a german potato salad.)
