    The primary symptoms being gas (and with it not happening on smaller amounts), then you may simply have lactose intolerance, not casein intolerance. (This would mean that your body doesn't produce enough lactase enzyme to break apart the lactose milk sugar, so the bacteria in the intestines do it instead, giving off gas as a byproduct.) If that's the case...

    how long you take to recover is pretty unique to you. I've heard people say anything from two days to two weeks. (or a bit longer.) not much to do but sit it out, and eat healthy.

    ooo boy! replying to this post will take me through the 25 minutes left on my chicken-rice soup. well, we've got white rice, and brown rice, and wild rice (which isn't really a rice), not to mention the specialty rices like red rice and black rice. starting in the white rice area, we've got a number of options (and this isn't all of them): long grain...

    My dad 'said' I could get my license, but wouldn't send me to driving school or teach me. (One of his little tricks of continuing to control me.) So I learned from my husband when I was 21 and we were about to graduate and start jobs such that I HAD to drive. (In his parents old car that he and his brother learned to drive in.) I thought 15mph was horribly...

    For those in the studies who reacted, it caused the same intestinal damage that was characteristic of celiac.

    I used to live in HB. Sparks is on Main Street, downtown, right off of Pacific Coast Highway. I haven't eaten there, but have heard they can do gluten free for you, and I know they were always packed. There's a PF Changs (chinese, and they have a gluten-free menu) in Long Beach that's about a 20 minute drive from downtown HB, as well as an Outback (ha...

    for corn, I might go with sorgum (if you can have it) or brown rice. for almond/bean (which are higher fiber/protein/fat, you might want to consider soy flour, or something like 3/4 a regular flour (like the rice, or millet or amaranth or quinoa or buckwheat), and 1/4 flax meal, or something like that.

    the black bean dip I usually make is a can of black beans, some oil packed sun dried tomatoes, chili powder, cayanne powder, garlic (or garlic powder), and salt to taste, blended up in a food processor. but there's a bunch of variations on this theme!

    as for the scientific bit... (what we know, anyway) the portion of wheat that bothers celiacs is a 33-amino acid long sequence that is a part of the protein we call gliandin (the main wheat protein). a very similar sequence is found in horedin (the main rye protein) and secalin (the main barley protein), and a somewhat similar sequence is found in avenin...

    many of us have put url links to other websites that have pictures - of course, in good taste!

    read the instructions that come with it - it will direct you on when to use the dough hook and when to use the other attachments. (for muffins, I usually use the regular paddle, and if you like well mashed, fluffy mashed potatoes, the wisk is good for that as well.) (I love my mixer. But it's not going to correct a bad recipe or problems in the cooking...

    As for the insurance issue, it was something I also had to deal with - as long as you send the insurance company proof of continuing education until their cutoff date, if it is not an additional fee to have you covered, then it really means nothing to your parents if you are still on there. They could, out of spite, cut you out of it, but they wouldn't have...

    bread isn't the only way to make more expensive items go farther. rice, corn, potatoes, other vegetables are all good ways to do that. other grains, as you can get them, can also serve this purpose. I think it's important to stick to naturally gluten-free items, and not pay the extra cost for the specialty items, but I don't have kids...

    That's what working (making your own money so they can't control it - my dad used to try to use money to control me as well), and finding the resources to live cheaply are for. I don't mean to say that it can happen overnight - it could take a number of months of planning. But the other options are never eating at home, and just dealing with it. I still...

    I found calling them to be much more effective. They've got people available most of the time (I called at like 8pm one evening...) and they were able to find out directly. Their number is on their items (or it was on the ground turkey I called on and they said it was ok).

    Ok, I'm going to sound preachy here for a minute, but I'm coming from a situation where I couldn't stay at home (for my own mental health) even while I was in college... You're 21. You're an adult. You should be the one making decisions for yourself. The "parents will refuse to let me live on my own" thing just doesn't make any sense, because YOU are...

    up to a third of the population has one of the genes, but that doesn't mean they all have problems with wheat. the general advice is, in the case of having the gene but neither symptoms, nor positive antibodies, nor positive biopsy, to retest regularly (every year or two, I believe) indefinitely, to catch it in case he does develop celiac. it's your call...

    That is absolutely horrible. I'm not sure whether to suggest you tell every "responsible" adult (that is, the sort who have the responsibility to report this sort of behavior - like a school counselor and your doctor), or to just move out as soon as you can. Is there anything you can ask your doctor to do to help?

    Besides the lazy shrimp soup recipe I mentioned, you can use it in place of rice for stir fries. For spring rolls, you can pick a few vegetables you like in them, soak the paper to soften it (a sheet at a time), and roll them up, either baking, pan frying, or deep frying. I believe ThaiKitchen's website has a number of recipes as well.

    If the CYA statement comes from grain alcohol used for extracting flavors, I don't worry about it. Grain alcohol is distilled, and hence gluten-free. Not to mention the vast majority of cheap distilled alcohol for flavor extraction is corn based.

    if you're a fast healer, it wouldn't really surprise me that your symtpoms are different. the symptoms do not appear to remain the same as we change our diets.
  22. tarnalberry
    Yep, generally, for lasagna, you want to only barely cook the noodles - just enough to make them pliable.

    My husband isn't a huge vegetable fan either, but he's come to enjoy some of them in stir-fries. Those we have together. Outside of that, I'll often cook something shared for us, and then a separate vegetable dish for myself - something simple, like roasted veggies. One thing that often works is to make things that can be easily separated. The other night...

    in theory, "spices", "natural spices", and the like *could* contain gluten. I haven't found much that does, but it's one of those ingredients you call on to verify.

    For the most part, I don't understand this particular approach. You don't feel well. You know what makes you not feel well. But you continue to do what makes you not feel well. In the hopes... it suddenly won't make you feel not well? No, no, I'm not trying to poke fun or anything, goodness knows I've banged my head against the same metaphoric brick...
