    It can vary. You need to get ahold of the packaging and find out.

    That sounds like a CYA to me. I use the dye free liqui-gels from Benedryl without a problem. (Ok, I do sleep through the rest of the night, but that's me and Benadryl for ya... Not a gluten thing. ;-) )

    Steak and potatoes? How about stew? 1lb stew meat (cut smaller if you prefer), 1 onion (cut into large chunks), 3 carrots (cut into large chunks), 4 red potatoes (cut into large chunks), 2 cups vegetable broth, 1/4 tsp cumin, 1/4 tsp sage, 1 tsp garlic salt, and a sweet rice flour slurry to thicken if desired. Simmer all the ingredients together, covered...

    Yep, I've dealt with trying to lose weight or keep it off. Exercise and portion control. Even "eating normally" can be eating more calories than YOUR body needs if you're not very aware. If I don't calorie count, I can find myself with some "calorie creep" in my diet, even if I'm still eating normally. Add to that the fact that a lot of us need fewer...

    I would continue to work on getting those results. You may have to be persistent and you may have to deal with a bad attitude, but keep on it. It's true that being gluten-free for so long will turn up positive. (The tests are looking to a reaction to gluten; if you haven't had any gluten, you can't have had a reaction to it.) The chips could be fried...

    Potatoes are part of the nightshade family, along with tomatoes and, I think, peppers, but I'm not sure about that one. Sometimes, if you're sensitive to one type of plant, you'll be sensitive to the whole family of plants. Nightshade's a tough one to work with, because those items are also pretty common (particularly that potato!). (Ironically, tomatoes...

    Super Glue has a number of toxic chemicals that it's not a great idea to absorb into your skin. They do make safe liquid bandages that can take the place of super glue in that capacity. To my knowledge, Super Glue in particular does not have wheat (it's substantially different from other glues), but may be making you sick anyway. Of course, it could...

    On the corner of Brookhurst and Heil in Fountain Valley, CA is a small Vietnamese/Chinese restaurant that serves vegetarian and raw foods. A lot of their stuff, mostly the raw stuff, is naturally gluten and casein free. I went out there tonight with some friends from my yoga class. Among the things I shared: * spring rolls (raw) in rice paper * spicy...

    Awww.... Such nice friends! :-)

    Welcome to the board. I'm sorry you need to be here, but glad you found us. As for how hard celiac disease is to cope with, it pretty much depends on how well you cope with the diet. And that varies widely. If it means that you have to greatly change your eating habits, and you also are very uncomfortable being "different" from the crowd, it'll be harder...

    Actually, it sounds like it could be a latex allergy. You may want to talk to your doctor about that, as it can become serious. Does this happen if you wear, for instance, panties which have fabric entirely sewn around the elastic?

    I was up there last weekend, and will live there soon, but while there, we went to PF Changs, Z'Tejas, and got some stuff from the Flying Apron Bakery. All are quite celiac friendly. There's also Kalli's Kitchen, but I didn't get a chance to stop there.
  13. tarnalberry
    Go about my normal practices. I know it sounds ... something ... but I'm often cranky, so I might whine "I don't want to go to yoga; I want to sit on my ass tonight", but I go. I'll generally be somewhat quiet, sleeping when I need to sleep and doing other low key things like reading or surfing the net or updating my website until the abdominal bits pass...
  14. tarnalberry
    Nope. You can make some substitutes for some things using nuts (there are recipes in raw foods cookbooks and websites) or nutritional yeast, but there isn't any pre-made casein free and soy free "cheese".

    I start getting changed stools around day 2 after gluten, and that portion lasts another 3 days or so, on average, for me. Doesn't sound out of the normal for a gluten reaction at all. A piece of bread is a lot of gluten!

    I was posed a question on how to substitute for Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix and creamed corn in a casserole recipe? My idea would be to use a combination of corn meal and corn flour (perhaps 1:4?). I can't figure out if the leavening agent in the muffin mix would be needed or not. I know a casserole gets baked, but I don't know that it'd have any acid to activate...

    Woot for Linux!! :-)

    It's really good with regular pasta sauce too. I made up a big batch of a really hearty, meaty marinara sauce and poured it over spaghetti squash and brought it over to a friend's house for dinner once... everyone thought it was a very tasty dip for chips!! Lol! But they also loved it all the more when they found out it was healthy! :-)

    Oooo... the "make up food game"! I love this one! I'm going to include rice and potatoes here, but the focus is changing flavors/textures: 1. Pumpkin Rissoto 2. Rosemary-Garlic Roasted New Potatoes 3. Quinoa Tabouleh 4. Brown Rice Vegetable Pilaf 5. Mexican Rice and Beans 6. Homemade Refried Beans 7. Black Bean Salad with Corn and Avocado 8...

    hehehe... I think the key is in my laziness. My meals often go something along the lines of "what all can I throw into one pot?" And I'll admit that, because we're not on a tight budget, and because we specifically budgeted for plenty of money for food (at the expense of other things, because I'm a food snob about my ingredients), I don't often go...
  21. tarnalberry
    Yep, you need a dedicated toaster. An easy way to save money is to base the bulk of the calories in your diet on naturally gluten-free, inexpensive items. Beans/lentils/rice are cheap, easily rinsed before cooking, and naturally gluten-free. The first two, in particular, are nutritious as well. Keeping the rest of your foods as naturally gluten-free...

    I haven't reacted to their products, but like they say on their website, they don't test for gluten, even though they do not add gluten-containing ingredients to most of their products. Do you regularly consume much soy? It could be a soy problem. It could also have been a cross-contamination problem. And could even have been a coincidence (with respect...

    Creamy Butternut Soup Ingredients ----------- 1 lb orange flesh sweet potatoes 1 lb butternut squash 1 lb carrots 4 cups water 2 cups "milk" 2 tbsp olive oil 2 tsp salt 1/4 tsp cinnamon dash nutmeg Directions --------- (Hint: the first three ingredients are available in bags, peeled and ready to go, at Trader Joe's) 1. In a large pan, simmer...
  24. tarnalberry
    Yep, soy sauce to provide salt as a preservative/flavoring or modified food starch to help bind the seasonings are usually the culprits. Oberto and Tillamook both produce gluten-free beef jerkey, or you can make your own fairly easily.

    I found out I was casein intolerant through an elimination diet. It makes me feel headachey, irritable, and gives me stomach discomfort.
