    I don't have a particular recipe. I generally google and try. Actually, if you can do eggs, it's fairly easy - find a regular recipe and replace the milk (if there is some) with a milk sub.

    I find that the bulk of being able to eat out reasonable is VERY careful selection of the restaurants.

    You know, I think some of this is a mental practice. After years (11?) of this, I don't miss eating the things other people are eating (if I'm not hungry). Because I'm used to not eating those things, choosing to not pick up food, choosing to not eat, and eventually, you know, it's habit. It's not as conscious of a choice. Hang in there!

    Honestly, I'd be cautious going to a paleo diet. Certainly a full one. Kids, more so the younger they are, need more carbohydrates than adults do. At two years old, her digestive system is still maturing, and she needs more foods that are more easily directly converted to energy. I would certainly focus on making sure cross-contamination is not a problem...

    I understand - we all have those days, and it's ok to have them, and admit them. But then we have to move on and find things to replace what we are missing. Like making vegan gluten free cookies together.

    I made this one the other day, though I subbed 1C gluten-free oat flour for the white rice and tapioca (for a couple of reasons - next time, I will probably do that sub for the brown rice instead. It tasted fine, even my husband and guests thought it was fine (not great, but hey, they eat gluteny bread all the time!), but it (kind of as expected, after all...

    I wanted to add - you should check on the omlettes if you're eating at a restaurant. Some places (IHOP is known for this, but it's not super uncommon) put pancake batter in the omlettes.

    There are a whole bunch of places in Seattle. Off the top of my head: Chaco Canyon Cafe (West Seattle and U District) have a lot of raw and gluten free items. Flying Apron Cafe (Fremont and Redmond) have a lot of gluten free baked goods (they're entirely gluten free).

    You might look into "raw cheese" recipes. They're generally made from nuts.

    True, I tend to do the vietnamese style. So, it's the rice paper, shredded lettuce (or cabbage), Julienne carrots (and/or bell beppers), chicken or shrimp, rice noodles (cold), wrapped up. I like to dip them in peanut sauce, myself.
  11. tarnalberry
    What is it you don't like about chinese food? spring rolls are rice paper wrapped around veggies (and sometimes rice noodles). so, it's rice and veggies.... you can dip it in any variety of sauces...

    As a parent, a downside of not being diagnosed is that docs won't take it as seriously in your kids. But that doesn't mean they can't get proper diagnoses if necessary. As an adult, there isn't a lot of *need* for a diagnosis, particularly if you feel comfortable sticking to the diet without someone else giving you a "formal statement" that you have celiac...

    How/where did you cook it?
  14. tarnalberry
    I don't get it. We don't think that an alcoholic celebrating a year sober is ok to go out and drink. We don't think a serious diabetic is ok to go out and eat sugar their whole birthday long. We don't think it's ok for someone allergic to peanuts to go eat a peanut butter cookie on their birthday because it's their favorite. I mean "Yay! I want...

    My headaches were caused by muscle tension due to poor head posture. Chiropractic, massage, and a lot of work re-aligning my posture is the only thing that made them go away on a permanent basis. (These were chronic, debilitating migraines.)

    Ditch the dairy, keep up on the magnesium and lots of water, and if you need to go to a sliding scale clinic, go!

    I don't have a lot of time, but I wanted to make a note, which I think is important: You seem to be assuming that test results are ACTUALLY WHAT EXISTS. Tests are, by their nature, imprecise things. You get a reading of "3" on something, and there's a margin of error. Maybe what's really in your body is a 1 or a 6 (or something else - error varies by...

    you said you don't turn cold, so I'm guessing a different sort of circulatory problem is also a possibility along with raynaud's. I would highly recommend going to a new doctor who won't say "wait until you're sicker for us to look into this". Your doc... well, doesn't sound like he wants his job; why let him keep it?

    One hallmark of hypoglycemia is feeling hungry again 1-2hrs after eating. Especially if those meals/snacks are high in carbs.

    You know how I cater to the one celiac (me) in every dinner I host (up to 20 people, including toddlers)? I make the food naturally gluten free. After 10 years of doing this, I've had no complaints and rarely repeat what I'm serving. It's just easier, because there are a lot of healthy, easy to prepare foods that are gluten free. But I realize that you...

    I'm not entirely sure why he chose a reflux med to reduce stomach acid if your looking at intestinal damage and celiac disease. Maybe he thought that it was dairy causing the scalloping (very rarely, dairy intolerance can cause villious atrophy), but that's a huge stretch. If you're done with testing, I see no reason to wait for the results to try a gluten...

    As has been said, if you're not hooked on gluten-free substitutes, and cookies and candy in general, it's not a terribly hard adjustment, comparatively. You don't have to **eliminate** anything. You have to balance your fat, protein, carbs, and fiber. Carbs spike blood sugar - sugar fastest, complex carbs more slowly. Fat, protein, and fiber all slow...

    Celiac disease (assuming you are remaining gluten free and otherwise well nourished) just isn't a part of the equation here. If the intense exercise is reducing your immune system, well... choose the exercise or the immune system. You may find that you can keep a more modest approach going for the next 30 years, where this approach may see you injured in...

    As loves2travel noted, all three of the substitutions you did could individually make big changes in the cake.

    What if the endo is negative? Chances are it would be very hard to keep him gluten free, even if you wanted to. I would skip it, since you can get a formal dx. The likelihood of him cheating is related to many other factors, many psychological, IMHO. The manner of diagnosis is less likely, I would think.
