    I've got a decent idea what you're talking about - it sounds like what you're making is very much like seitan. Which is pretty much all about the gluten. The problem is that gluten-free flours tend to be fairly low in protein, because it's the protein we have a problem with. :-) Since this type of thing is all about the protein, you might try using high...

    I get this without even getting gluten. Usually the first BM of the day, more so than the others. My doctor once explained that the "need to go" comes from a feeling of "stretching" in receptors in the area, and some are set to trigger that feeling on less stretching than others. So it can happen even without gluten.

    ARCHIVED Fast Food

    tarnalberry replied to lstroud's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    Quick lunch: * bean salad (can of three bean mix and some honey mustard dressing, add tomatoes if you've got the time) * rice cakes with peanut butter * veggies with hummus of course, there's the whole leftovers thing, and smoothies, but I don't know how quick you want quick. :-)

    Have you ever felt angry/mean due to a hormonal fluctuation? It's much the same. Gluten makes me feel b%$@#y for a week. (Not as b%$@#y as a real hormone change, but similar...)

    I take one by Rainbow Light that has a good ratio of calcium, vit D, and magnesium.

    I believe a fructose intolerance can also cause that sort of problem with fruit.

    it may well be from not eating with the drinking. that can dramatically alter your tolerance.

    While I find that my common symptoms and how my body deals with a cold or flu have changed, I do still have my asthma. It's never been bad, however, so if the dietary change made any difference, it would be hard for me to tell.

    ARCHIVED Salad Bars

    tarnalberry replied to terri's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    I avoid salad bars for the same cross contamination worry.

    I opted to go only on inconclusive test results followed by a dietary challenge, and don't plan on getting a biopsy.

    "cutting down on gluten" may make a big difference in test results, but you may not see as much change in your symptoms as you'd like.

    Sibewill, I believe the bill calls for the new labeling by 2006. Don't forget, however, that the bill only requires LABELING allergens, and DEFINING gluten free. So something may still be able to hide oats or rye or barley, because they are not common allergens.

    Did a dietary change make any difference to her symptoms?

    interestingly, sunflower, I am inclined to disagree with your reactions - rather, I don't have them. I don't mind going to a restaurant where I can't have anything if it'll make my friends happy (Chucky Cheese was one place), and I don't particularly mind telling people "I'm gluten intolerant and can't have wheat." (did that this week at a meeting they provided...

    I responded on the other thread you posted on with some gluten-free food ideas that shouldn't taste disgusting. ;-)

    He's your boyfriend, and if you're going to be living with him, you have to treat it like you live there, and sometimes, that happens in places where you live. What if he clogs up the toilet there himself? No difference. I presume that, since you're at the stage where you're thinking of living together, you've also told him about the problems you have...

    She really does need to get in to see a doctor. Any way possible. As for constipation... My doctor had suggested Senekot (a natural laxative), but I hesitate to suggest that here because you don't know what's causing the constipation and don't want to make the situation worse.

    enough egg? I recall reading somewhere that you add egg to help keep them sticking together...

    One thing to consider is to stop trying to find substitutes. They're not what you're used to and they're not going to taste the same. So eat a different type of food for a while. Everything in the produce department (aside from the packaged, premade stuff they try to sell you, like croutons!) is gluten free. So have all the vegetable casseroles, vegetable...

    Fatigue: It took me a few weeks, but I don't think I'd been gluten-intolerant very long. Turns out, for me, part of the fatigue problem is low testosterone levels, and that is even more important than the gluten-free diet for keeping me from getting tired. (Though they both play a role.) I know some people take MUCH longer to see an improvement in this...

    I would add that a gluten-free diet doesn't have to be that much more expensive IF you stick with naturally gluten free foods. Instead of buying millet for a side dish, have beans. (And rice is always a good one.) Instead of buying fancy gluten-free noodles, get asian rice noodles (like pad thai noodles). Instead of buying bread, start making things that...

    A coworker's birthday was the other day, and we - on a whim - went to Chuck E Cheese. (He turned 33, what better thing to do when you turn 33 ;-). ) Anyway, I just had half the lunch I brought before we went there, and half when we got back. I enjoyed the conversation and the people (and the games), and it was just fine. If you are comfortable with the...

    Asian markets should have rice paper which you might be able to use for this purpose...

    Not being a beer fan, I don't know enough to go into it, but here's the link to the article I was referring to: A Word on Gluten in Beer
