    I draw the line at avoiding soy lecithin. Even the Food Allergy and Anaphalactic Network consider it safe for people who are allergic. Obviously, it's an individual choice. I react badly to soy - joint pain and digestive issues, but have never reacted to soy lecithin.

    My in-laws will say that someone "acts like they have a turd crossways" when someone is grouchy. So at least in their family it must be really common.

    I avoid anything that comes from a cow - I don't even do well eating beef. (I have even given up my beloved butter - better change my signature.) I have used Sheep milk Pecorino Romano and goat milk cheeses very occasionally with no noticeable problems.

    Rachel, Thanks for posting this research. It makes a lot of sense to me. When I first got sick, about 10-1/2 years ago, my naturopath did a test for candida and other fungi first thing. I was on some potent anti-fungals for several months. I had kind of forgotten about that. Now, I'm fine as long as I keep my diet restricted. It's definitely something...

    You seem to be very knowledgable about oils and fats, but I have to disagree with you on this point. Extra Virgin Coconut Oil has NO trans fat. And it is saturated, but it's a healthy saturated fat that is metabolized more like a carbohydrate. Partially hydrogenated coconut oil would be a source of trans fat and should be avoided like the plague.

    Chrissy, Is the rice flour fine enough to use for most baking? Do you grind brown rice? I like the whole grain feel, so a little "gritty" would be fine. I used to grind my own spelt flour and would love to get a new grinder and start doing that again. I'm sad that my old grinder is now useless for me - it was an older brand (can't remember off-hand)...

    Just have to jump in here. What kind of rice flour did you use? I use sweet rice flour and have made a roux several times. Even my mother in law (who lived in New Orleans for a while) thought the gravy was delicious and the texture good.

    Welcome! I hope you learn as much here as I have.

    I know they're not supposed to be the same, but I have EVERY symptom that points to Celiac. (I should say HAD, I'm better now.) Many people here are in the same boat. I had "IBS" and "leaky gut" and have at least 2 autoimmune problems that have gotten better since going gluten-free. My intestinal tract is working much better now, but there's no way to...

    I should have mentioned that you can also throw a whole chicken in a 9 x 13 pan and drizzle the sauce over it all and bake for 1-1/2 hours.

    Glad to hear you're getting bored - that's a good sign. I hope you can find enough "stuff" to do to keep you occupied. I'm doing well, thanks. I'm still a little tender, but am back to all normal activities. We got 6 inches of snow Wednesday night so we're off school. My van doesn't handle well in the snow, so yesterday the kids and I walked 2-1...

    Welcome back, Patti! I just realized that you're posting again. I hope your recovery is going well and that you're getting back on your feet. Although I hope you're taking it easy and letting your hubby wait on you.

    I have the same kind of thing. I actually have psoriasis, but it sounds exactly like you are describing in my scalp. I've found that putting olive oil on my scalp right before bed (sleeping with a towel on my pillow) and washing it out in the morning helps more than anything. My husband tells me I smell like salad dressing, but it really does help.

    Here's a really easy and delicious meal. Rosemary chicken and baked potatoes with green salad. Chicken breasts (i'm assuming it's just the two of you, so 2-3) Olive oil (about 3 Tbs.) Fresh lemon or lime juice (about 1/2 lemon or lime) About 2 tsp crushed rosemary Garlic, salt and pepper to taste Put chicken in a baking dish. Mix all ingredients...

    I'm just curious about the difference in "Member" vs. "Advanced Community Member" in the info below our avatars. I thought mine used to say "Advanced", but now it just says "Member". Did I get demoted?

    Interesting. That reminds me... When I got my wisdom teeth pulled, two of them hadn't even come in yet and they had 13 cavities between the two of them. The oral surgeon said that there was almost no enamel on them and I wouldn't have been able to keep them even if there was room in my jaw.

    Ener-G Foods Light Tapioca bread is about as close to white bread as you can get. It's best toasted, but actually okay just zapped in the microwave for 10 seconds. For easy homemade white bread the Gluten Free Pantry has a boxed mix of Country French Bread that makes delicious bread and rolls (if you bake it in muffin tins). Even my gluten eating kids...

    Woo hoo Jackie! Good for you and good for your daughter. I have a 15 yo daughter who decided the same thing and she's very committed to it. These girls are probably avoiding all kinds of health problems as adults. I wish everyone that comes on here complaining about how "hard" this diet is and wondering if it's really worth it could get as much sense...

    We're all doing the happy dance here too. All the kids will be out of school, we have 6 inches with more coming down (slowly now) and we all LOVE the snow. It's a treat here - last time the area got hit we only got 3/4 inch.

    When I was growing up my dentist told my mom that my "enamel didn't form right" on my teeth. I had so many cavities I couldn't possibly tell you how many. Once, when I was about 9 or 10, I had 12 at one visit. I brushed my teeth well, didn't drink much pop or eat much candy. The dentist told me it wasn't my fault, that some people just had that problem...

    I hear you on how frustrating it is. I spent a year making two different meals most of the time. The good news is that it helped and that I got over most of my other food restrictions. Now it seems that only avoiding gluten, dairy, eggs and soy is a breeze. And I can make meals that everyone eats with no problems.
  22. lonewolf
    The other common offenders are corn, soy and eggs. Try eliminating these first (I know, easier said than done), and then trying a true elimination diet. When I started my journey on a restricted diet I only ate fish, rice, sunflower seeds, most fruits and most vegetables for a whole year. It worked great though - all my health problems cleared up by the...

    This is an "off-the-wall" question, but are you sure you're being glutened? Could it be something in your flat like mold? It seems strange that you were fine in Germany but got sick again as soon as you got home. We used to have mold in our home and I would feel yucky here and much better away. We discovered it and fixed it and now it's fine. Just a...

    Well, if you're not going to eat them feel free to pass them on! With help (LOTS) from my 4 kids, I've gone through 8 packages since the week before Christmas . We'd be happy to take them off your hands just to make sure you don't have any more reactions!

    You can get chicken necks from a local butcher, most likely, or even from a grocery store. Ask the meat manager or ask the butcher if they can order you a case. You might want to try one first to see if your dog likes them though. Take the neck out of a roasting chicken or fryer the next time you get one and toss it in his dish. (He'll love the liver...
