  1. For the most part, vinegar is safe. You only need to worry about malt vinegar and some flavored vinegars. Go ahead and continue using vinegars like you used to
  2. Awesome! Don't even worry about the weight thing yet. I bet some of the weight will just fall off naturally as you continue to eat gluten-free
  3. No, that is not correct. To quote psawyer's post on the other thread, in case others don't click in it:
  4. Are you talking about the chocolate cake recipe on Mercola's site? If so, I made that one (but I used regular organic sugar instead of stevia. Then I made it into cupcakes and added a bit of raspberry jam to each one). Turned out great I really like this recipe as well: From www.tropicaltraditions.com (I used 2 extra tbsp of coconut oil...
  5. That's is a really good suggestion. Go Raw is a really good product line. The sprouted pumkin seeds and sunflower seeds make really good high protein and convenient snacks. ks - you can order it online if your health food store doesn't carry it. www.goraw.com I also sometimes eat Nori Power Wraps. I believe the itailian and mexican flavors...
  6. Well, generally speaking, the term "gluten" is pretty broad and difficult to define correctly, but that particular law mentions wheat, specifically. Wheat derivatives must be listed. Barley and rye derivatives don't need to be. They are working on a law involving the term "gluten-free" which hasn't been passed yet. That law will include all "glutens...
  7. It would include casien and wheat, but not barley or rye.
  8. I like to take Food for Life sprouted corn tortillas and heat them up for a few seconds. Then I use hummus as a spread, add a couple pieces of Applegate Farms smoked chicken and some greens. I roll them up and wrap them in foil. They take about two minutes to make and are really good on-the-go snacks or meals.
  9. I was just addressing the "celiac is a disease from birth" part of the question. I thought that was just a myth that (ironically) results in quite a few misdiagnoses, so that's why I responded, but I might not know what I'm talking about LOL
  10. If I understand correctly, people are born with celiac genes, but not always with celiac disease. celiac disease can be triggered at any point in a person's life. So no, everyone shouldn't be in the 10+ years range, since for some people celiac disease isn't triggered until adulthood.
  11. That's a really good point... All the controversy is nothing but great publicity for this radio show. People in those positions are required to uphold certain images, and hers is one that clearly has nothing to do with compassion or sympathy towards others Really, it's all about the ratings. Maybe I'm wrong, but doubt it's actually her responding...
  12. I think I like Tre and Brian. Howie's food looks good, but there's too much footage of him sweating into it...
  13. You are my dairy free inspiration!

  14. I saw the laptop lunch stuff at Whole Foods today. They're a lot smaller than they look in the photos. Fun though. I kind of want one So my review of the Mr. Bento (if anyone cares ): It's huge, and a bit heavy and awkward to carry. I have a 15 min. walk every morning from my car to my office and between my Nalgene bottle, my purse and...
  15. The first time I caught an episode of Top Chef, ugh, they were in the middle of one of those marathons...I got instantly hooked and watched like three or four episodes in a row Those marathons are seriously evil! I don't think I'm caught up though. I think I've just been watching reruns I think I'm stuck in a previous season (the last one I...
  16. Hi, welcome to the board - I don't know for sure if that drink is safe, but make sure your answer comes from someone who specifically knows about food labeling in Europe. There are some Europeans who post on the board so hopefully they will be able to help you out
  17. I think that was me who said that. Basically, it's my understanding that pharmaceutical grade lactose is pure in the sense that it should not contain any casein. For people who are "just" lactose intolerant, it shouldn't be enough to cause a reaction. I don't know though. I just started a new pill (Nordette), and I have some weird symptoms that are...
  18. You could get a veggie tray, hummus, fruit, chips and salsa. If you happen to be extremely close to a Whole Foods, you could stick to your original plan (most locations I've been to sell vegan potato salad in the deli section). While you're there you could pick up a Sunshine veggie burger for your friend and a chicken for everyone else.
  19. health food stores, Whole Foods...places like that...
  20. Take lots of extra food with you when you fly Qantas. I flew with them a few years ago and ordered special meals, but on the plane they had no record of the fact that I had done so. Don't count on them being able to feed you....
  21. I don't have the book, but are you sure it doesn't say wheat berries? Fruit is definitely gluten-free.
  22. A good rule of thumb is always to assume that no airline (or anything/anyone else for that matter) will be able to accomodate your dietary needs. I too learned the hard way to always have my own food with me everywhere I go no matter what. Sorry it didn't work out....
  23. Congrats. That's great
  24. I wonder if you could substitute ground chicken for the ground pork in that recipe...
  25. Thanks for the helpful info! have a wonderful day! :-)
