    I've heard too much about contamination with Quaker (rumor), so I stick with Lundberg Farms. Tasty!

    If you have recently increased your fiber consumption (particularly due to fruits and vegetables), that may explain the increased symptoms...

    "What's your problem?" "I hate having diahrreah on the trail." I think that sums it up nicely. :-)

    I tend to go the other way (constipation), so often consider magnesium for that. But I too was going to suggest calcium (without magnesium). (BTW, if you're taking calcium for a health supplement (bone health), you DO want sufficient magnesium AND vit D along with it. CitriCal actually does not have enough magnesium! But it's certainly better than a...

    the new law will require caseinate (and the like) to be labeled with a parenthetical milk statement.

    I can't tolerate hormonal BC either. (And I tend to be sensitive to adhesives - regardless of gluten content.) I had worse allergies and increased yeast infections while I was on the pill. I think it was complicated by something else (possibly the celiac getting "triggered"), but I don't do hormones any more. (Aside from local topical estrogen as needed...

    I did the same thing - replaced the stuff that was pitted from tomato sauce, kept the rest.

    I didn't vote, but I have suspicions on corn, and am uncertain about dairy.

    Eh... the last sentence doesn't make sense to me, 'cause you'll still make yourself sick if you eat gluten even if you're "only" gluten-intolerant. If you take the hard stance that celiac only occurs when you've got distinct damage in the intestines, then all of us who eat gluten-free, eventually stop being celiac and just gluten-intolerant. Doesn't really...

    Ha! I've asked for a gluten-free meal on airplanes twice, and the first time, I didn't get anything. The second time (today), I get a chicken salad sandwhich in pita bread and a wheat flour based cookie! I'll be writing American a letter explaining that gluten-free means gluten-free. (Not phrased that way, of course, but still...)

    This is probably a stupid question, but I didn't know the answer, so I thought I'd ask... Do you _repeatedly_ try the same food she's refused? I don't mean in the same day, but let's say she doesn't like item A when you try to give it to her. Do you then have yourself (and/or the rest of the family) have some of it off an on, and then try introducing...

    What does the packaging on the bacon, the jam, the hashbrowns, the fruit punch, the baked ham and the peas say about ingredients? any natural flavors hiding in any of those that could be the problem? and other suspicious ingredients?

    What about other kinds of beans? Bush's baked beans I've heard are gluten-free. Regular canned beans spiced however she likes... I mean, there are so many ways to make your own, that I wouldn't give up just yet! The less than 2%, I believe means less than two percent from each item. But if it could be made from wheat, you're playing with fire. I...

    Take a look around the celiac.com site for the articles listing symptoms - the newer ones include constipation. Also, try searching pubmed.com for journal articles discussing celiac Open Original Shared Link, and Open Original Shared Link, and Open Original Shared Link (which is titled "Constipation can be a sign of coeliac disease", but the text isn't available...

    I know I'm way behind jumping on the introduction train, but here goes... My name is Tiffany (duh, I know, but I'm not good at these introduction-thingies), and I'm a 25 year old system engineer in Orange County, CA. I was born and raised in California, and while I understand that other places are great too, I simply can't leave the West Coast permanently...

    Ciroq vodka, besides being very tasty (I like it better than Stoli), is made from grapes and is gluten-free. (Kinda pricey ($25-30 a bottle), but most worthwhile vodka is. )

    The diet isn't bad - once you get used to it. You've learned to cook WITH gluten for years and years, and if you rely on packaged products, learning to cook without it will certainly take longer than a few weeks. It's breaking a habit - and with all the tastiness in the gluten-filled products, it's a tough habit to break! :-) Sticking with whole, unprocessed...

    as in "I don't have any buttermilk in the house and want to make this recipe" or "I am casein intolerant and can't have any dairy and want to make this recipe"?
  19. tarnalberry
    Looks like you're gluten intolerant (both tests for that came back positive), but haven't yet had enough damage to the intestines that you are having malabsorption problems. If going gluten-free made you feel better, that is yet one more positive test result to throw in the mix. I'd stay gluten-free, were it me.

    The problem with La Choy, to put it nicely, is that it sucks. I know I'm a food snob and all, but it's ... bleck! San-J makes a wheat free tamari that is gluten free (grey label) that is of good quality. It may be harder to find in regular markets than La Choy, but larger stores and health food stores (like Wild Oats/Whole Foods) carry it.

    Another thing to consider is that many stadiums will allow you to bring food in for dietary restrictions if you call their service people ahead of time.

    1) What are your 3 favourite desserts? fruit salad sorbet honeyed tea 2) What are your 3 least favourite desserts? anything heavy coffee ice cream cookies (for dessert... they're just not a dessert thing) 3) How many other people do you live with? 1 - my husband 4) How many other people do you most regularly eat with? 1 - my husband 5...

    As you move from learning all the things you CAN'T have, to all the things you CAN have (and get your house stocked on them) the diet becomes easier. Read around the message board for a while and you'll find a lot of useful advice. It does get easier!
  24. tarnalberry
    The only caveat with that rule is that I believe they have different moisture contents, so if you're baking something REALLY finicky, in theory you might have to compensate for the difference. And in some things, it doesn't necessarily work. (For instance, in a pie crust calling for half shortening (not margerine, I know, but related), half butter, substituting...

    seitan is specifically made from wheat flour (and usually additional vital wheat gluten) so is DEFINITELY NOT gluten-free! :-) the thing with using substitute flours is that with the lower protein content, and the rinsing process you describe, you're unlikely to get much out. they contain so much starch that most everything will be washed away. the product...
