    tuna - open the can and eat! :-) if you can do dairy, mix with plain yogurt and sour cream for a tang. make high protein muffins and freeze them on the weekend so you can have them during the week. make your own beef jerkey. make a smoothie with protein powder added to it, along with coconut milk for added fat make flax crackers - high protein and good...

    studies done on this subject show that *pure, uncontaminated oats* are tolerated by most - but NOT ALL celiacs. a small percentage (~10%? I don't quite remember), DO get intestinal damage from the oat protein avenin. there is not currently a test to determine if you are one of the ones who will react to avenin. and then there's the issue of finding pure...

    flavored tofus often have soy sauce in them, and hence are likely to have gluten. *ALWAYS* read the ingredient list.

    I have a couple risotto recipes on my "as promised, a few recipes" post. the really straightforward way is to heat a bit of olive oil (a tablespoon or two), and then sautee the rice - dry - in the oil for a few minutes. then add enough broth (water's ok, but broth is preferred) to cover and simmer, stirring frequently. as it runs out of liquid, and is...

    You're sweet. :-) And you hit the nail on the head - I can only thank my teachers. All of them. The actual yoga teachers, the other students, and the PT's I've had.

    their ice cream is gluten-free, but they won't make "guarantees" like they do with dairy. many, many people don't have a problem with their stuff, but if you do, it's best to avoid it, regardless of exactly what is causing the reaction.

    There's no single answer to how long it takes. It could be a few weeks, or a few months, or a year or two. It really depends on your body. Making sure to get plenty of nutrient dense food will be even more important for you - no white rice, brown or wild, things like that. Make sure you *do* eat enough fat. I'm not saying lots and lots, I'm saying don...

    Until they actually say *how* the wheat is processed out, then I wouldn't consider them safe. They've gone so far as to say "we believe it to be processed out" but won't mentioned one word (realistically - saying they're parfried which makes them gluten-free is an insult to our intelligence - we know that won't get rid of gluten) about how.

    I saw this today, and as it struck a chord with *every* message board/forum/blog that I've been on/read/written, I thought I'd post it here. I was going to start a new thread, but thought it would be relevant here at this point. Open Original Shared Link

    I've not been diagnosed as hypermobile, but my PT's have all noted that I'm unusually flexible. I've been doing yoga for five years, and plan to start teaching this year, and wanted to comment on this particular point: Yoga is a serious exercise! Ok, Ok, I know it sounds like I'm being whiney, but tiredofdoctors is *absolutely* right that - like any...

    Spice Hunter's Fajita Seasoning is also nice and easy if you don't want to make you're own.

    a lactose intolerance means you don't produce the enzyme to break the complex sugar of lactose into its components. thus it makes it through the intestines where bacteria in your system can digest it and release gas as a byproduct, giving you bloating and gas as symptoms. it does not internally harm you. casein intolerance has been reported to cause intestinal...

    well, check the flavor on the soy milks - you can get a lot of them. (I prefer silk unsweetened for cereal, otherwise it's just too sweet.) Rice milk doesn't work for cereal for me because I find the consistency too thin, and most of them are sweetened. Almond milk doesn't really taste like almonds (definitely not like almond extract or anything like that...

    It doesn't mean you'd get 20mg - it means you'd ingest 20 milligrams if you ate 1 kilogram (2.2 pounds). That's 0.0007 ounces of gluten (about 1/20th of a teaspoon) if you consumed a liter of glucose syrup. (BTW, that is the stricter of the two CODEX standards.) Most companies won't actually claim "gluten-free" to 0mg per kg, because that's not measurable...

    depends on the recipe and what you think 'weird' is. I'm totally serious. for making rice pudding, for instance, I'll use almond milk (vanilla). for making a cream soup, however, I'll use soy milk (unsweetened). for making pumpkin pie, I'll use almond or rice milk.

    I have not had problems at outback, but I've been very selective about what I order. There have been others on here who have had problems at one place or another, so I think contacting the management (or corporate) is a good way to go if you have problems.

    After reading the full article, I learned they did to biopsies and so no intestinal damage. That's not to say it won't pop up in a few more years.

    if you're positive, you're positive, and it's important to remain gluten-free permanently. while it may be hard at the moment to find specialty items and gluten free packaged/processed items, your local grocery store still has lots of food you can eat - produce, meat, rice, beans, dairy, eggs. you can cook almost anything from these items. start simple...

    balsamic vinegar is only questionable if it's not real balsamic and has added ingredients. balsamic vinegar is made like grapes, in a process very similar to wine making. it doesn't come from a grain.

    Distilled alcohols, that don't have things added to them after the distillation process, are gluten free. So, vodka is safe. If you are still worried about it, you could have a corn or potato based vodka or a grape based vodka (Ciroq's my preference). You'll want to check around the posts on here, but a rather large number of regular alcohols are fine...

    here's one generalization you can count on - you can't generalize. you can almost never say "are all X gluten free". the exception to that is produce, but otherwise, don't use generalizations like that. you have to check everything. most plain nuts don't contain gluten, but some people have found that some lines use wheat flour in the processing - call...
  22. tarnalberry
    Absolutely! I'm ... not a fan ... of much processed stuff. :-)

    those sorts of nights are tough. the best way I know to deal with them is to avoid them by being more careful when purchasing food. I know, I know, easier said than done, and it makes shopping trips take longer. but then I can be disappointed over and over when reading labels, but otherwise free, rather than when I'm stressed and hungry and don't have...

    You might look into considering a natural henna dye. It won't last as long as permanent dyes, but then, you won't get that odd thing with the roots going on either. Many health food or natural food stores carry henna hair color. There's a limit on what you can do with a natural dye like henna, but it may help. (As an interesting note, henna also conditions...

    I have called them, and they have assured me that their natural flavors do not contain any gluten. Nor do any of their other ingredients. I don't have any problem with gatorade, but what matters is how you feel after you have it. Unless there's another suspicious thing you came in contact with recently, it sounds like gatorade is out for you.
