    I've made grilled cheese with Ener-G Brown Rice loaf and Light Tapioca. Spread with butter and grilled with cheese, they really aren't bad. For soup, my favorite is Imagine Foods Tomato Soup in the quart sized aseptic package. It's supposed to be served "as is", but we all like to add a little water - I'm sure milk would be good too.

    I need to bring a "fancy" dessert to a function at church on Saturday. There are a few other people there who also avoid wheat and dairy, so I want us all to be able to eat it. Egg-free would be good too, but I can modify a recipe that calls for eggs or use one or two if I'm only going to eat one piece. I am a good cook/baker, so I'm not afraid to tackle...

    Rice flour making lumpy gravy? I've been thickening my gravy with either brown rice flour or sweet rice flour (just did it last night for Swedish meatballs) for over 10 years and haven't had lumps even once. My mom now uses rice flour in her gravy because it doesn't lump like wheat flour. Did you actually add the water to the drippings and flour or give...

    I'm not a teenager either, but my daughter is a Freshman and has gone gluten-free because it makes her feel better. I've been packing gluten-free lunches for a long time for myself. Today, she took deli turkey (Applegate Farms brand) wrapped in lettuce leaves, secured with a frilly toothpick. She also had carrot sticks, potato chips, a few plums and...

    I'll have to ask my friend how she got it. I don't know if you have to go through a doctor or not. I'm thinking about getting one for those once-in-a-while occasions where I need to bring my own food, like the topic at hand. Having to miss a day or two of work from being glutened qualifies as a medical "alert" condition to me.

    I have a friend who wears a medic alert bracelet because of Celiac. She shows it to people in these type of situations and explains that she will become VERY ill if she even accidentally gets a little bit of gluten - that's why she has the bracelet. She's had good success.

    1. Omega 3's (flax oil, cod liver oil and eat lots of fish) 2. Probiotics - if you have a big problem with yeast take something to get rid of it first 3. Regular, light exercise (think walking), rather than strenuous workouts

    I agree that carob is great in brownies and cake. I posted a recipe for carob brownies that are gluten-free, egg-free, soy-free, dairy-free and potato-free. If I can find it I'll post a link. Try arrowroot starch for the potato starch. Edit - I think this link will work for that recipe: Open Original Shared Link

    I agree that you should get your thyroid checked. I discovered I had low thyroid at the same time I found out all my food intolerances. My weight went down really fast and I think I lost over 40 pounds, but I did just about have an eating disorder because I was so afraid to eat anything. I've been on the thyroid (Armour, with brief stints on Synthroid...

    Now I know that having 12 cavities at one visit (about age 9) to the dentist REALLY wasn't my fault. And now I know why I started having stomach aches so frequently in high school and college - I learned to bake delicious yeast bread and baked often for family and friends and always some for me too.

    Sorry I don't have any other suggestions beyond what's come up, but just wanted to say that I'm sorry you're going through this and I hope you figure it out. I just said a little prayer for you.

    I rarely eat beets, except occasionally in borscht, so I can't comment on pink pee. But, in the words of my husband, "I know why bears have green poop". Try eating WAY too many blackberries and it will be a very sickly shade of green.

    I'm slightly overweight, not skinny, but still have the same symptoms, pain, etc. I'm one of those people who has always been slightly overweight, not obese, and can't seem to lose that last 20 pounds no matter how much I exercise, how sick I get or how little I eat. I've heard an equally frustrating comment several times. It goes like this: "You can...

    The easiest flour mixture I have found is to mix up 3 C Brown rice flour, 1 C Potato starch, 1/2 C Tapioca starch and 2-1/2 tsp. Xanthan gum. Sift this together 3 times before using. I use it (scant) cup for cup in all my baking and everything turns out great. I tried for years to bake with just rice flour and found very few things that actually worked...

    The only thing you need to be careful about is making sure he gets enough fat and protein. (Children under 2 should NOT be on a lowfat diet because their brains are still developing.) I put my son on rice milk at the same age and almost always mixed in some protein powder (rice protein) and usually some kind of oil. I would recommend giving him some coconut...

    I have psoriasis and excema (lucky me). I have been wheat-free (gluten "light") for over 10 years and fanatically gluten-free since last November. I would love to say that going gluten-free cleared mine up, but it didn't, although it's WAY better than it used to be. The only two times in my life I've had clear skin (my face is actually almost always clear...

    I've been seeing her for about 9 years. She's really good and takes the time to listen to you. She's not super knowledgeable about Celiac, but she's well-versed in nutrition. She doesn't push supplements either. I gotta run, but PM me if you want her name and more info. There's also a good naturopath in Federal Way that a friend really likes. My friend...

    I was on a large dose of prednisone for 9-1/2 months. It did cover up some of my food allergy symptoms/glutening symptoms and cleared my psoriasis, but at a high cost. I would only take it again if was a matter of life or death, literally. It's not a drug you want to take. It can cause leaky gut, as well as weight gain (almost impossible to get that weight...

    Don't be so sure they are dying them. We have 6 apple trees and two of the red varieties "bleed" red color into the white part when we cut them. I can assure you that we DONT put any dye on them. Macintosh (I'm guessing this is what a "Jersey Mac" is) can do that too.

    I eat at the salad bar at our local health food store deli all the time. The only things that contain wheat are the crackers and croutons at the very end, so I don't try the other little things like raisins, sunflower seeds and dried fruit that are nearby. This might be unusual though, since most salad bars have pasta salad and things like that. This one...

    Add sweet potatoes to the list of things I ate on my super-restricted diet when dealing with horrible arthritis. And, I do agree that eliminating all nightshades is a great idea.

    Last night we had chicken Caesar salad with homemade gluten-free croutons. Tonight we're having barbecued salmon and coconut rice.

    I don't know what kind of arthritis it is, but just wanted to say how sorry I am that you're going through this. I had arthritis that hurt so bad - I wouldn't want anyone else to have that pain. (Mine was psoriatic arthritis - goes along with psoriasis but is the same as rheumatoid without the rheumatoid factor showing positive on the blood test.) Mine...

    I'm 42 now. When I was 32 I found out I had food allergies/intolerances. I was very sick in addition to having horrible arthritis. I was also depressed. I saw some improvement very soon, but it took me 8 months before I really felt decent and a year before I was brave enough to try adding a few foods back to my diet. (I had eliminated everything except...
