    I'd also take a look at what you *added in* to your diet, not just what you eliminated. Usually, something gets added in, or significantly increased in amounts, when we eliminate something as "staple" as gluten.

    Now, you live on rice, beans, and eggs. Oh, and still peanut butter. A gluten free diet does not have to be more expensive, but it may take more creative cooking.

    As a business owner (yoga teacher ), I totally respect their language. If someone with a significant illness/injury comes to me for yoga, I'm going to tell them (something very much along these lines), "The classes I offer are for those who are already recovering from injury/illness or who don't have severe movement restrictions. I am not able to offer...

    it doesn't have gluten, and isn't on the no-no list for celiacs due to 'autoimmune response to the molecule' reasons. some people avoid it because they cannot tolerate soy, and some people avoid it due to the excess soy processing to get the ingredient. but yes, something can be gluten free (contain no wheat, barley, rye, or oats) and have soy lecithin...

    Think of gluten as raw chicken. You can't necessarily see the raw chicken juices, but if you wiped a knife on a raw chicken, then stuck it in a jar of peanut butter, would you really want that peanut butter? I avoid kissing my husband right after he's had gluten, as he may have trace amounts on his lips, and could certainly have some in between his...

    My dog hasn't taken to a whole meal of raw (though heavens knows he's quite happy to get the neck and wings from a chicken before I bake it. the ground stuff, though? meh. and he certainly likes to take his time with the raw chicken - an hour, at least, for that neck and two wings.) One thing that we've given him when he's not been particularly interested...

    after only five days gluten free, are you certain that you've eliminated all forms of gluten - the clearly labeled "wheat", the hidden "malt flavoring" and "natural spices", and cross contamination from your kitchen (like the toaster, cutting boards, colanders, etc.)?

    here's the thread I have with my recipes. I update it every once in a while, though I haven't really recently. https://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/index.ph...&hl=pumpkin

    Some here have had really bad luck with PFChangs. The effectiveness of their training and staff seems to vary significantly from location to location. I highly recommend trying out a place (not eating if you don't feel safe) and seeing how it goes. Sure, this risk is not for everyone, and I'd certainly stay away from ones with a bad reputation, but it...

    responses to this question tend to vary significantly. some people get symptoms within minutes (I'm one of these - takes me about 15-30 minutes) and others take days (up to four or five).

    I have heard (and seen) *SOME* dijon's that have wheat. did you check the label?
  12. tarnalberry
    oh certainly. I do eat meat regularly, and I often crave it - particularly beef - but I do have low iron stores. I say 'listen to your body'! find ways to incorporate what you can eat, and if you can have a shared (meat/non-meat) kitchen, then make dishes you can add your own serving of meat to.

    Oh, I had wanted to add: I don't think you have to give up your job and change careers. But you may have to get creative and inventive, in a way you've never had to do before. Think of that, however, not as a burden, but an opportunity that could both improve your skills at your job, and in life in general. You never know the possibilities creativity...

    what kind of person are we (those of us who do)? (I'm not trying to be snippy at all, but ask the "why do I think the way I do?" kinds of questions, so we understand what *really* motivates our actions and can evaluate *that* objectively.)

    Kellogg's Frosted Flakes is NOT gluten free - it has malt. (Malt generally comes from barley, which has gluten, but is not a food allergen, and hence doens't need to be listed. And if oats are causing bloating, I'd avoid them (particularly contaminated ones - any that aren't grown gluten free) since 10% of celiacs have a classic celiac reaction to oats...

    realize that by saying you will NEVER bring food into a restaurant, you CHOOSE to eliminate an option. if you also say that you will NEVER eat before hand and just socialize at the restaurant, you CHOOSE to eliminate another option. that only leaves you with a very risky option. it may be the right choice for you, but KNOW that YOU are the one eliminating...

    It ALWAYS depends on the brand. Unfortunately, you can NEVER assume a whole class of food is gluten free. Some come close, but always check.

    have you tried changing laundry detergent? it is possible to be sensitive to detergents - my dad couldn't use Tide.

    On 1) YES! Turn it in to chicken rice soup. It's a VERY cost efficient, and TASTY meal. On 2) That's... about 160 calories? I'd vote no, not enough - I would eat at least twice that.

    It's not unhealthy if you don't feed them unhealthfully. While I don't do raw entirely with my dog (I haven't gotten organized enough for it), the whole point is to imitate a wild diet. So, you're not just giving them chicken breast every day. Cats are obligate carnivores, so they don't need vegetables the way we do (or dogs do, for instance), but they...

    In such a highly contaminated environment, there's no way you'll be able to confidently figure out what it was.

    you are spending $4.28/day per person. that's really not bad at all! so, congrats on getting it down this well!

    with negative tests, and fatigue/mood swings/depression as your only symptoms, I wouldn't first think celiac. I'm not saying it couldn't be - if you have intestinal damage that is preventing the absorption of vitamins, it could *definitely* cause those symptoms. but the quacking of these symptoms isn't entirely duck-like. have you been checked for...

    After 3.5 years gluten free, you can't test for celiac disease. Because, technically (if you're gluten free), you're in remission. (Celiac disease being the only autoimmune disease we can *stop occurring*, by eating strictly gluten free.) The tests all look for antibodies (whether in the blood or in the stool) or the damage caused by the antibodies (via...
