    Ezekiel bread is made from sprouted gluten-containing grains. You got glutened!
  2. tarnalberry
    lol! yep. I'm 26. worked on that one half a year to get it. :-) practice practice practice. ;-)

    Those are the times I don't try anything new. Perhaps that's an old-hat thing... there are things I know that are safe that I don't have to think about. Perhaps it is having a mostly gluten-free kitchen... I don't even have to think about avoiding the three boxes that are my husbands gluten-filled ickiness. You're totally right. Sometimes it just gets...

    I have not come across an asthma inhaler that has gluten, but there is a list at Open Original Shared Link. Additionally, I would encourage you to contact the manufacturer of the inhaler tomorrow to get the latest information directly from them.

    I suppose that if you get a lot of damage fairly quickly, then it could well be that you don't absorb as much of the drug as your body needs after being glutened.

    Rather than finding substitutions for things that normally have wheat (which will be expensive), you may want to rely on naturally gluten-free, whole foods. The key here is that ONLY wheat, barley, rye, and oats have gluten. Packaged/processed foods have lots of ingredients that may be derived from these grains. Whole, natural foods do not. All the...

    (This is an old hat speaking, so the perspective may not be as useful.) When I get burnt-out dealing with the gluten-free stuff, I go back to making my really tried and true, normally gluten-free meals that I can fill my fridge with and just stay eating at home. I just plain ol' ignore anything but the meat/produce/beans/rice in the grocery store, and...

    I know we're dealing with an autoimmune condition here that causes a lot of inflammation, but I thought I'd try to find out how many people here have specifically had an issue with eye inflammation prior to going gluten-free or after being accidentally glutened. I've had a nasty headache, and just today realized that my right eye is feeling rather "sore...

    Based on that dx alone, you *should* have already been tested for celiac disease. I'm sure you weren't, but IBS is supposed to be a diagnosis of EXCLUSION, meaning they test EVERYTHING else first. They never test for celiac disease, though. :-( If you're still eating wheat, go back to your doctor and find out if you had the full celiac panel done (and...

    That sort of cramping can happen with celiac. If you suspect it, you should get tested. Ask your doctor for the full panel (anti-gliandin IgG, anti-gliandin IgA, total IgA, EMA, and tTg), and find out what the results are. (You much be eating plenty of gluten prior to having these tests run.)

    Have you determined whether or not you have a problem with dairy? Those symptoms you list are the most common symptoms of lactose intolerance.
  12. tarnalberry
    I believe the ones that Neutrogena makes are gluten-free.

    Hopefully this will help: A chronically heightened immune response causes all sorts of chemical changes in the body, including rapid turnover of some cells, which - if it triggers a gene that lets the cells grow uncontrolled - leads to cancer (of which, lymphoma is a type). The immune response related to celiac comes only when you ingest gluten - the...

    High caloric-density foods. If you can keep some nuts with you to snack on whenever those hours of food avoidance are up, that could help. Also add more calories to your beverages by either having meal replacement drinks with your meals (I believe a few people on the board have used Ensure or Boost), or mixing up more filling beverages. (For instance,...

    On the second point first: I think that's the key - giving it time to learn the adjustment. Just because it sucks now doesn't mean that it will suck a year from now. True, it doesn't really change the situation at the moment, but it's at least better than it could be. I've found, though, even after two years, that my attitude about it affects how bad...

    Ironically, the cinnamon flavor is gluten-free (or was the last time I had it) but the peppermint is not. Wacky, I think.
  17. tarnalberry
    I don't think cornstarch would be the best way to go - it will give a little bit different consistency and color. Rice flour may work a bit better, though. particularly sweet rice flour.
  18. tarnalberry
    Good for you for spreading the word! :-)
  19. tarnalberry
    I haven't yet seen and MRE that is gluten-free. Sorry. :-(

    I've been happy with the rice milk from Trader Joe's. (They're closer than Whole Foods for me, so that's probably why I've been happy with that one.) But I still like Almond Breeze best. It's more expensive, so I don't get it as often, but ah well... :-)
  21. tarnalberry
    Yep, I was disappointed they added those to the small ones, but very happy that they clearly labeled them. At least we don't have to wonder!
  22. tarnalberry
    Avocados, chicken, chicken-rice soup, butternut-sweet potato soup are what I generally go with.
  23. tarnalberry
    What you saw there on the mi-del stuff was a standard CYA statement. :-) Always gotta use your best judgement on those.
  24. tarnalberry
    It has led me to try a wider variety of foods than I would otherwise have, even though I always pursued a wide variety of foods. I would have been less likely to try out raw foods without the gluten and dairy intolerance, and would have been less likely to ever develop a taste for dark chocolate.
  25. tarnalberry
    Yep, avoid that oat flour, and do check for alternatives. (Perhaps you could even get a mill and grind your own bean flours.) But if you google for gluten free bread recipes, I believe you may find some options. I don't know that they will work very well with only those two flours, however, so I'd encourage additional looking before trying, myself. ;-...
