    They sell this at ethnic stores where I live. I first bought it at Jerusalem Market, but have seen it at some small India grocery stores too. It is heavy flour and the gentleman who sold it to me said it was to make "sweet breads and treats". His english was not good so when he started to try to tell me what to cook with it I was lost. I suggest...

    Sometimes my family eats out (when we are not near home) and I may have to sit there with them. I am careful not to touch the chair because someone with wheaty hands just touched it before I got there. I don't touch the table for the same reason. I don't order a drink because the server will also be carrying wheaty junk to other people. I put my hands...

    Open Original Shared Link This is a good site for Ehlers Danlos, it is free, they have a message board and it is located in England. The site in USA is a pay site only. I think medical information should be available to us for free. (Also people on the site I posted say they don't know what they are paying for, there is less information available at...

    Over a year before I went Gluten Free, they told me to stop the Dairy. All of it. Doctor told me to drink soy milk for protein. I did not like the taste and could not get much down at all. Just a few ounces a day (never more than 8, more often 4 oz) was enough to mess up my thyroid blood work. Doctor said she would increase my thyroid medication so I...

    I hope you are feeling better after your "extreme gluten" experience. Your body took it's time but then it yelled really loud so you could not ignore the messages it was sending. I still want pizza, but I know it will hurt me. I find it odd that the cheat food were things I make gluten-free and dairy free. I have a little donut maker that is like...

    A reply to the original post: I have been a member here for a year, but I know that so many others have much more experience and some have the scientific answers with all the lab results and numbers. I am glad to have a place to come and look at the recipes, lists of gluten-free products everyone verifies by phone or email, and the experience of people...

    ARCHIVED Introduction

    paw replied to Ricco's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Welcome! I am interested in your favorite foods and snacks. Maybe you have some great things to teach us. I hope you find some of the posts interesting.

    I think about it, especially real pizza. I don't actually DO anything about my cravings because I don't want to be sick. It is not worth it to me to have D, migraine and those awful cramps. Since I can't have dairy, pizza would be doubly bad for me. Pizza does not sound so good once you think it through. (At least for me)

    I have not ever been vegan. Meat was served with dinner each day as I grew up, rarely with breakfast or lunch. The serving size of meat was about 4 oz. For a meat serving, think deck of cards or normal sized computer mouse. Now that I am gluten-free, dairy free and avoid soy almost completely (I can't quite get away from all soybean oil yet) I NEED...

    You have been nice about it several times -- now it is time to get tough. You were here first, it is your stuff. Tell roomie that they will have to MOVE if they can't respect your food, dishes and things. Then stick to it. This might be the only way to pound it into roomie's head that this is serious business and they CAN'T take your things. If you can...

    Welcome Dr. Russ. I read more than I post because I feel like I have a lot to learn after nearly a year gluten-free. Thanks for joining us and I look forward to your insights and posts. I hope you feel better soon from your glutening.

    I just checked online and it is at least 10 miles to the closest Whole Foods from the hotel DH will be at (outside of Chicago). With no car, that is a very long way. If I go more than 2 days on little snacks my blood sugar gets trashed because you end up with more sugar than protein and then I fall down. I can't do soy or dairy so choices are limited....

    I am not good at eating out yet. The few times I have tried I get very sick. I was being as careful as possible, asking about ingreients and explaining no wheat, no dairy. Since I only eat out when I am too far from home to eat there, this means I get sick when I have a long car ride and they don't mix well. I have multiple food problems too. I...

    Yes -- I want to quit too! Today I was hungry and there was no one in the house but me (to see if I was cheating) and I looked at the pizza full of gluten, cheese and tomato with pepperoni (nitrates). I LOVE pizza! I can't have any of the parts of it though. Soy is out for me, no dairy, and doc said tomatoes were too acid. I can't even have the gluten...

    I am working on it. I have been gluten-free since October and dairy free for almost 2 years. In addition to wheat I can't have soy, tomatoes, beans, onions, peppers, garlic, msg and too much sugar makes my blood sugar go crazy. I have problems getting more than one serving of protein a day. Doc wants VERY low fat cholesterol meats in limited amounts...

    If you are doing one larger basket with treats for several friends, you can use a ziplock bag for each person. Mark the "special gluten-free" bag with a pretty sticker and tell your daugher that is the safe one, or just make them all safe. There is a lot of good stuff to choose from. One favorite I did not see listed is Reeses Peanut butter cups. They...

    I was like that too and I read that Magnesium can help soften and ease constipation. I got Nature Made Magnesium 250 mg and take one daily. It is gluten-free. Sometimes if I am having too much C I will take an extra 1/2 tablet (they split easily). Even 1 1/2 tablets is within the RDA for this mineral. I talked to my GI doctor and he offered me Zelnorm...

    I did a google search for gluten free goddess + brownies and this was one of the links. Open Original Shared Link It sounds like it could be the one -- it has almond meal in it.

    ARCHIVED Anyone Cheat?

    paw replied to Ksmith's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    I think about it sometimes -- when there is nothing safe to eat and it has been all day since I had food. Everyone around me is able to just "grab something quick" and go on with their day. I wish I could do that too. When there is nothing safe to eat, I don't eat. I am afraid of D, stomach pain, headache and all that. Even when I am really hungry...

    I am still learning so I don't have all kinds of gread advice to offer -- at least not yet. I do post questions sometimes. I would not want to say some food or product is ok and have someone get sick because I am just learning.

    I get all your points and a few more not listed. I had uterine prolapse at age 28 (severe), my hips just "pop" right out of place. I have learned to put them back myself. I have extreme flexibility in all joints. I have fibromyalgia. I broke my ankle years ago. I have sprained ankles multiple times. I have knees and elbows that bend too far when in...

    ARCHIVED Wow Im In Trouble

    paw replied to a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    MSFL2, I hope now that they have a diagnosis of what is causing so many problems they can get busy making you feel better. I hope that soon you will have a good place to live with a kitchen to prepare safe foods and that you can gain back a little of the weight you lost. Take care and feel better.

    ARCHIVED Is This Normal?

    paw replied to dfish's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    For me, my GI told me to treat the hard stool (sometimes loose, more often hard) with lots of liquids, fiber suppliments like metamucil or citrucel (the ones I checked were gluten-free, but please read the label) and he said the 250 mg of Nature Made (gluten-free) Magnesium was good. I checked my multi-vitamin and found it only had a small amount of magnesium...
