    Ohhhh -- now that I think about it, I've got this great walnut-kidney bean salad recipe (it's called Lobio) from the Moosewood Daily Special Cookbook -- I could eat that stuff over and over again for days. I'm going to post that recipe at some point, but I really should be grading student papers if I'm ever going to get out of town in time. Great...

    Okay -- next weekend I drive 18 hours up to Albany to see my folks and I'd rather not take any cross-contamination risks at restaurants because they're squeamish enough already about glutening me while I'm home. I'd like to do this as cautiously as possible because the prize will be my first opportunity to go on a solo backpacking trip at the end of my visit...

    ARCHIVED Rough Time

    eleep replied to Chrisser's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    I also really had to let all my cooking aspirations go to hell for a while when I was just trying to recover, heal and reduce the stress of the whole situation. I didn't much like eating or food for several months (a total reversal of my usual attitude) and so I basically just treated it as functionally as possible. So, while I was upset about lack of variety...

    ARCHIVED Rough Time

    eleep replied to Chrisser's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Take it slow, maybe add one new thing at a time -- this may seem like a lot to learn, but it gets easier. I suggest getting a copy of The Joy of Cooking if you don't have one already. If you're going to be eating meats for protein, it has a lot of really good suggestions for cooking meat fish and poultry in very basic ways that can be jazzed up with various...

    I have a question -- besides what to eat, how much/how often would you need to eat for such a thing? I get awfully peckish after just an hour of mountain biking. eleep

    Sure! I might as well type it all in right now since I think I just got glutened a few hours ago after my roommate accidentally used my jar of mayonnaise (right -- should have put my initials on it). I'm sitting here feeling like a bit of a wreck, so please excuse my parenthetical wiseass comments..... This is from Martha Rose Schulman's "Fast Vegetarian...

    It's taken me a great deal of effort and patience to get my family and loved ones to understand how sick I get -- I've been struggling with the disbelief factor as well. One thing that has helped (I think) is for me to invite them to this forum and sometimes to send them clippings from the board. What has been to my advantage (although it's also been...

    ARCHIVED Rough Time

    eleep replied to Chrisser's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    I definitely went through this and I know how horrible you must be feeling -- I was going through a breakup and the initial "detox effect" at the same time and for a few weeks I could barely drag myself to the kitchen and make the same breakfast I've had no problem making for seven years -- the hunger and the stress and the emotional yuckiness really all...

    My favorite potato salad recipe calls for steaming the potatoes and then slicing them, skins on, while still hot -- I use a potholder or towel to hold them while I cut (it does get a bit messy, but the outcome is worth it). Then I toss them in a little bit of white wine and pour on a garlicky dijon mustard vinaigrette (homemade) and some fresh herbs. By...

    The other possibility might be that the steak was cooked on a grill that hadn't been cleaned. Most of the issues I've had eating out seem to have come from that kind of cross-contamination problem -- I was skeptical about being that sensitive at first and wasn't careful about mentioning the cross-contamination issues to the server, but two rather traumatic...

    Champagne makes me dizzy, but I tend to overdo it when it's decent stuff. Decent reds don't give me a headache. eleep

    I really like the Breads by Anna (or Manna from Anna) breadmix.

    I'm right with you on that one -- I love nothing more than cheese, but, for me, the symptoms aren't worth it right now.

    Enterolab tests for casein intolerance -- I imagine there are a number of other labs that do as well. Casein intolerance would indicate that you should eliminate dairy for good. I tested negative, but have found that, since about a month into the diet, I'm incredibly sensitive to dairy as well -- which seems to be the same lactose intolerance that may or...

    I've got a big ugly bruise on my wrist from accidentally banging it into the doorknob -- something I think I do just about everyday, but I've never bruised before. I know that this could indicate a Vitamin K deficiency, but, if I'm supposed to be healing, I should be absorbing my vitamins better, no? My multi does contain vitamin K -- what's the deal? ...

    I'm still figuring this one out, but I have been assembling a kit to help me deal with glutenings. There are a bunch of other postings on this -- and at least one current one on what to eat. I find that Immodium helps me quite a bit as does eating comfort food and drinking lots of water. If I'm feeling remotely able to do so, it also helps me to take...

    Ah-hah -- It never occured to me that I could register for a disability -- I've got Enterolab results, perhaps I could use those. In September, I'm going to be applying for a university-based dissertation fellowship and I'm a little concerned my application may be disregarded before they even read about my project because I've been working on this degree...

    I can only offer up my sympathy and experience here -- know that you are not alone! Sublingual vitamin B complex and really good gluten-free multivitamins help me quite a bit as does regular exercise and sunshine -- even if I just go for a short walk in the dang Florida heat, I feel quite a bit better, I sleep better and my moods are significantly better...

    I've also noticed an improvement, but not a total fix. I definitely don't get the same absolutely insane, about-to-pass-out feeling, but I still can get kind of cranky at times. I've grown so attuned in a few short months to thinking of things in terms of food first, however, that I'm much more prepared most of the time with snacks and such at hand. Did...

    Now, a few months ago I called Olay and asked about their SPF 15 and 30 moisturizing lotions (sensitive skin) and was told they were gluten free. Is this not the case?

    So sorry to hear that you're still feeling bad!

    The charcoal capsules will absorb nutrients as well as toxins, so be aware that you may need extra supplementation after you've used them. I also thought I had mostly "silent" symptoms and expected to get better after a few weeks, but I've found that the damage to my body was far greater than I'd realized -- the "relapse" experience is very common (I think...

    It may be the reason my cousin has been having some significant heart valve issues when she's only in her thirties and in really good shape, otherwise. That's really about all I know as well.

    I clench my jaw when I'm glutened -- TMJ and nighttime teeth grinding seem to be celiac glutening symptoms.
