    Sometimes I wonder if I have any self-control left in me at all! I did so well on Saturday, and then blew it royally yesterday at a barbecue and then didn't do so well today either. I should stand up and say, "Hi, I'm Liz and I'm a food-a-holic." Today: B - bowl of pasta salad and a kiwi fruit L - Rice with curried chicken, almonds, tomatoes, olives...

    I think there's too much unknown about celiac and gluten sensitivity for anyone to give a definitive answer. I have my opinion, based on personal experience rather than science. I think that some people are sensitive to gluten as Carla explained. It can come from things like Lyme Disease, a leaky gut due to overuse of antibiotics or other medical conditions...

    I did pretty well today. B - 2 pieces of chicken sausage L - quite a few rice crackers, about 1/4 C marinara sauce with about 1 Tbs sheep milk Romano cheese stirred in, 1/2 a chicken/apple sausage S - a few blueberries off our bush D - homemade chili S - med. apple

    I had terrible edema (just like jerseyangel's - pitting) and was finally diagnosed with a kidney disease. Going fanatically gluten-free has put my disease into remission and I have no more edema. (It was proven by a kidney biopsy that I have the kidney disease, so I know for sure what the problem was.) No doctor, except my naturopath, will believe that...

    Here I go with day #1 of "Getting back to being serious about losing weight". I need a personal chef and a personal trainer! And that's just pitiful since I'm a good cook and a PE teacher. Megirae - I've found that going "cold turkey" by getting off sweets for 3 days will stop the cravings. It's like going through withdrawal. The only thing that I...

    Hi Everyone! I'm so glad this thread is still going! I've been delinquent too and I am aiming to get back on track starting tomorrow morning. Welcome Keating823, Megirae and Sweetfudge! Glad you're joining us! Sweetfudge - I don't know anything at all about Alli, maybe someone else will. Paula - congrats on the 13 pounds! I've been working...

    Careful with the soy. It makes my joints ache worse than gluten or dairy combined.

    Hi all. I think I did okay on Sunday, just can't remember what I ate. I do know that I went for a long walk with my daughters. Donna - don't worry about your measurements. Everyone is doing what works best for them. You can post if you want to, if it helps you feel more accountable, but don't feel pressured. I still don't want to admit how much I...

    Thanks, I've been there and back. I discovered the same thing - there are lots of organic and "natural" options. I had great luck at Earth Faire and Ingles getting groceries and we just ate out once at a place called the Flat Rock Grill. The server and chef were both knowledgable and I had a simple, but good meal.

    You might also have another food intolerance. I had horrible arthritis at age 32. (And Lupus was suspected.) It went completely away when I eliminated gluten, dairy, eggs, soy, beans, nightshade vegetables, peanuts, red meat and a few other minor things. I have added everything back except gluten, dairy and soy, and don't eat eggs unless baked into something...

    Yikes! Here I am posting twice in a row again. I guess it is the weekend and a lot of us aren't usually on here. It's pouring down rain, so I have nothing better to do right now. B - a spoonful of almond butter and a small handful of raisins L - a Greek chicken shish kabob with about 1/2 C of rice, some grapes and carrot sticks S - an airplane...

    I'm home now and found the email contact: brenda.bennett@disney.com I just emailed and asked about special diets, specifically gluten-free, and was sent a great reply with several attachments that I printed out. They have a list for each park. It was very helpful!

    Thank you for the welcome back! Did anyone else weigh in today? I gained a pound on my trip - no great shock to me. I wasn't good yesterday , so I won't list what I ate. I wasn't too good today either, but at least a bit better. True confessions: B - 2 pieces gluten-free toast, 2 pieces turkey bacon, mustard (not as gross as it sounds...

    I came out violet. Juliebove already pasted the description. Interesting because my favorite color is purple. And also interesting because it says, "You play well with others..." I'm a PE teacher - I DO like to play!

    Hi everyone! Glad to see some new folks - welcome! I'm happy to see so much activity on the thread while I was gone. I tried to catch up on it all. I had a great trip to N. Carolina. My aunt has cancer and we were expecting her to be very sick and in bed, but apparently she perked up a lot right before we got there and was able to sit up on the couch...

    I was just in Disneyworld last month and it was great. You can get a detailed list of all the foods by emailing disney. (I'm out of state right now and can't tell you how to do that, but hopefully someone will come along and give you that info.) My avatar is a picture of me eating a gluten-free hamburger at MGM my first day at Disney. I had great luck...

    I just saw this. I got married in '87 and wore a wide brimmed hat and a dress with the hugest puffy sleeves ever. And a slip with a huge hoop! I thought it was beautiful! My girls now think my pictures are hysterical.

    We like Clif Nectar bars - especially the chocolate walnut flavor. What about little individual packages of peanuts, cashews or almonds? Bumble Bars are also good if you can find them. Homemade trail mix - nuts, dried fruit and chocolate chips, in sandwich bags works too.

    I'm leaving tomorrow AM for a weeklong trip to NC. I probably won't be able to post while I'm gone and I'm not sure I'll have time to get on later today. I haven't started packing yet and have a busy day ahead of me. I weighed myself early and have lost 1 more pound. I feel a little discouraged because I would like to be losing 2 pounds a week, but...

    Hi everyone. I can't even remember what I ate yesterday, but didn't do too bad. I didn't get any exercise in though. Today: B - two slices deli turkey, small apple L - panini sandwich made with light tapioca bread, turkey, goat cheese, lettuce and mustard S - raspberries and a small banana S2 - a large handful or maybe 2 of macadamia nuts...

    I just looked at their gluten-free menu online. The sweet potato fries aren't on the gluten-free menu and one item on the menu says to order it without the sweet potato fries to make sure it's gluten-free. I'm going to Asheville, NC later this week and they have a CIP there. I'm excited, since we have nothing like this out West.

    lonewolf posted a topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    I'm leaving Thursday for a trip to Asheville to see my aunt (she's dying of cancer). I'll be staying with my cousin, who loves to go out to eat. Does anyone know of any restaurants there that might have a gluten-free menu? My cousin doesn't understand at all, but I know she would be happy to let me choose a restaurant that I could eat at. I rarely eat...

    Welcome Kassandra! Glad to have you join us. It looks like you might need to have a little more protein with each meal. That might help you avoid cravings for things like chocolate chips. Donna - I encourage you again to get tested either through Enterolab or your doctor. If you are gluten intolerant or Celiac, you're hurting yourself to eat that...
