    Organic cranberry harvest trail mix, the organic peanut and almond butters you make yourself (by pushing that button on the machine), mary's gone crackers, alpsnack bars, clif nectar bars, arrowhead mills pancake mix, arrowhead mills maple buckwheat flakes, Fabe's macaroons, 365 organic rice milk...I'm realizing I could go on forever - so I'll leave it at...

    hahahahaha that exact same thing happens to me ALL the time!!! I'm actually to the point where if someone offers me a beer - I just take it and pretend to drink it. It's soo much easier that way...although it can be fun to just say "I'm allergic..." and see what responses you get!

    I usually don't feel too good after eating Kinnickkinnick bagels. I know they are definitely gluten-free and dairy free, but for some reason they throw me off a little (maybe it's the yeast, or something else they put in those???) If she reacts to dairy, and she just drank a glass of milk last weekend, it might take a little longer before she feels okay...

    I have coworkers who ask me EVERYday for an explanation of how much money I spent on whatever I'm eating. I usually eat really basic foods too....like the other day I brought a salad from home and a bottle of gluten-free Newman's Own dressing. An enormous deal was made over how much money I must have spent on the Newman's Own dressing... They even brought...

    No where was that part? I totally missed it....

    Is there a way to order it...or do you have to live in an area where they sell it???

    It actually helps me to think about the diet as getting more and more simple. The more foods I eliminate from my diet, the more I stick to stuff that is simple and naturally gluten and dairy free...Maybe I am just weird.

    I use Earth Balance to replace butter/margarine (it's really good!)...but if you don't have access to that....olive oil works well as a replacement too. Actually, olive oil with balsamic vinegar is a really good alternative to many condiments on quite a few things. Breakfast ideas: eggs (you can always get hard boiled eggs if you're at a restaurant...

    The way the ingredients are listed on the Whole Foods and Trader Joes sushi rolls is really confusing. When they list soy sauce, I had always thought that they were referring to the soy sauce packet that comes with the rolls...but I guess they put soy sauce in the rolls as well? How annoying!!!!

    This is all I can find: The exact definition of natural flavorings & flavors from Title 21, Section 101, part 22 of the Code of Federal Regulations is as follows: "The term natural flavor or natural flavoring means the essential oil, oleoresin, essence or extractive, protein hydrolysate, distillate, or any product of roasting, heating or enzymolysis...

    I like Arrowhead Mills Maple Buckwheat Flakes (actually all of the Arrowhead Mills cereals are pretty good I think). Erewhon Crispy Brown Rice is good too! I bought some Enjoy Life granola, took one bite...and thought it was the worst thing I ever ate I will definitely give it another try with a new perspective after reading these posts.

    mmmm their rice chips are sooo good. so are the seasame tamari rice cakes.

    I don't have any problems with Whole Foods 365 Organic Rice Milk, Wild Oats brand Rice Milk or Lundberg's Drink Rice.

    Are you "testing" different forms of milk? I'm curious to know how that works out for people. I've been completely dairy free for many many years but gluten-free for only about two years. I'm thinking of trying dairy again now that I'm gluten-free but I'm kinda weary. I hear many people more easily tolerate organic raw unpasterized dairy? Maybe I'll...

    I avoid soy - makes me feel like someone's choking me if I eat to much and gives me really itchy skin....and dairy (casein and lactose). I'm starting to notice weird reactions to yeast as well - so I try to keep that to a minimun...oh and I also avoid all red meat, just as a matter of preference.

    haha nice way of wording that....

    I've been on the gluten-free diet for over two years and replacements have become more and more rare for me. I definitely find it healthier, easier and cheaper to stick to naturally gluten-free foods (I mostly just eat fruits, veggies, meat, eggs, rice, quinoa...etc). I shop at Whole Foods and can surprisingly keep my grocery bill pretty low when sticking...

    My new favorite thing to pack for lunch is turkey sandwiches on corn thins instead of gluten-free bread. I just put one or two slices of smoked turkey on two corn thins w/ mayo....yummy...it's way better than it sounds, and really quick and easy to make.

    I usually bring salads with lots of veggies and I add garbanzo beans, hard boiled eggs or tuna for protein. Amy's frozen meals are good to have on hand if you need to grab something in a hurry (but they get pricey). I always bring apples and banannas with peanut or almond butter. Sometimes I'll cook a big pot of soup on Sunday (lots of...

    You might want to check out "The Metabolic Typing Diet" - a book written by William Linz Walcott and Trish Fahey. It will help you find out what your metabolic type is and how to eat the correct carb to protien ratios with each meal. Each person is different, but I feel a lot better since following some of the guidelines the book suggests.

    I had that exact same problem with corn for a while. I eliminated it from my diet completely for a couple of months and now I can tolerate small amounts of it again.

    jknnej - I think it's really awesome that you decided to help out with the Christmas Angel program. I agree that whenever it seems like my situation is horrible and helpless, there is ALWAYS someone who is worse off, and reaching out to help can really put things in perspective and spread a lot of positive energy. I am gluten, dairy and soy free. For...
