    Dear Internet Accounts: Thank you for making me still feel like a valid human being.

    Yea - I too do my research before. This, unfortunately, was a - "Hey I'm in town NOW…" no forewarning situation. I really wish people were more considerate and let me know in advance when they were coming. But again - I really also worry about being a stick in the mud for everyone around me, too. I don't mind going somewhere everyone wants to eat a...

    Funny this was mentioned. I had a shake with this stuff in it two-days ago and it made me feel a little sick. I bought it from a health shop within an already made smoothie so didn't know what I was really intaking. Read "Brewer's Yeast" later and flipped. I wrote them asking why they call their product Gluten Free if they include Brewer's and this was the...

    Lol - Oh lord, don't get me started on the "Amy arguments" my poor poor boyfriend has with me after I've had too much booze. I never "feel" drunk either. I must act a fool though because often times I get the, "Go home, Amy - you're drunk." Schpiel from the sigother and then I will argue, till no end, how "sober" I actually am. That never subsides. You sound...

    1. As a bartender - If I serve someone more than three times, I keep a close eye on them for the rest of the night. There's a few drinks and then there's just too many. I will refuse to serve you if you stumble up to my bar, have motor issues getting your money/credit card out, or appear in any other way "too drunk." I've been known to pour water into booze...

    Thanks for the suggestion of calling these places and asking them beforehand. It would be good to know just how serious they take people's illnesses. I got a response from the juicer and it turns out they're using a protein powder that claims it's gluten free but its main bulker is brewer's yeast. So there's that. It says it's a vegetable based protein...

    I'm new to this game of minding gluten and eating out and dealing with "gluten free" things from sources behind a door. A month ago I thought my gluten free pasta made me sick from some sort of contamination. Turns out, I just don't handle quinoa well. That mystery is solved. Today I had a full day of eating out. I am now broke, no moolah, and...

    Hey there - I had a conversation with a gluten intolerant Japanese trained Chef on here about this. You might find his suggestions helpful for substitutions for ramen. https://www.celiac.com/forums/topic/106014-is-it-the-g-word/?p=903379

    I am jealous. I have worked in media in Tokyo ect for the last 8 years but to study food prep there is a huge honor. I used to eat udon every day but it killed me so I had to give it up. I don't know why I always thought udon was buckwheat - I think I knew about the soba noodles… which I also love so so much. Best soba experience was in Nara after being i...

    After further looking there are at least 5 other health/recipe books that you all may love to get for free too. Veggie recipes, gluten free paleo book, and then there are other kinds of books like history, fiction ect.… anyway - here's the link. Open Original Shared Link

    I see amazon is giving a Paleo Diet book away… I just got it - haven't read it yet but maybe some of you would love this book to read, as well? Open Original Shared Link

    I need to vent - its nothing huge but I need to. Honestly - having food related issues/illnesses can really get me steamed. I'm in the painfully long process of figuring out what my intolerance's are but I am about 95% sure quinoa is one of them. 68% gluten. Still testing the water, I had a quinoa pasta dish - made at home, last night. Hadn't had any...

    Late to the party but quinoa messes me up. Gluten is still up for debate, though I am pretty sure. Quinoa shuts my intestines down causing joint pains and back pains, though. I want to shrink down in size and beat quinoa's butt. I was reading the outer "husk" or whatever, the outer covering will perforate intentional walls the same way gluten does. I have...

    Wowza! Infinitely useful information! Thank you. Sad - I love ramen and I don't know why I thought udon was buckwheat. You're all helping me out a lot!

    First of all I thank you all very much for giving me some of your time on my topic. I am sure the newb forums are redundant and pesky. I am grateful for your time and answers. I am ashamed I didn't realize this. This makes sense though. Udon doesn't always ruin me. It might be one of the things that bulk my intestines up after I did eat something...

    >>>You must be eating gluten for the blood tests to be valid. I had just read that on another post! No one mentioned this to me at the clinic. I was also reading about the IBS Treatment Center's tests and they never mention it in their site. FEAR!!! Haha! Ugh. I get so sick eating some thing. And then it takes roughly 2-3 days to get back...

    I've had stomach issue for almost half of my life. I remember it kind of starting in 98ish (When I was 18) when I thought black pepper would upset my stomach. As it turned out, black pepper wasn't a problem. As I remember - I didn't run into a lot of discomfort till about 2006. I'd have mild reactions here and there to food of unknown origin from 95ish (...
