    Thanks for all the replies!!! Rachel, I know for sure that I have a dairy intolerance and a fat intolerance (I have to be careful how much I have). I started keeping a food diary last weekend and from what I can tell, the pepperoni and rice were the only "new" things added to my diet on Monday. I can't believe I didn't think about it being a problem...

    Thanks for the quick reply, Ursula. I never noticed a problem with rice before. I ate it maybe 3 times a week and never had any of the symptoms I am having now. Do you think it was because I was eating it so frequently? Thanks!

    I started the elimination diet last monday night and had a rough few days and then felt great. Yesterday, I had two small bowls of steamed white rice and felt great when I went to bed. This morning I woke up feeling like I'd been glutened, which I'm 99% sure I wasn't. I *also* had 4 little Hormel turkey pepperoni slices yesterday, which say gluten-free...

    Could you be having dairy problems? What kind of meat was it?

    I went to Carrabba's in Grapevine, TX last night and had a fantastic experience. I printed off the gluten-free menu before I left and decided I wanted the filet. When we were seated, the server noticed the menu I'd printed out and immediately started asking questions as to if I had other intolerances. He helped me decide on side items (steamed broccoli) and...

    I don't really have problems reheating my gluten-free pasta. I just microwave it for several minutes until it gets really hot and has a normal texture.

    I'm so sorry sweetie! It's so hard to stick to this diet - I've had moments of temptation where I wanted to have a gluten-free english muffin or make some rice, but I'm sticking it out. If you ever want to chat, PM me. I'm going through this as well!

    I've avoided eating out since I've gone gluten-free, except for a few times that resulted in my getting sick. Because I can't digest fats or dairy as well as gluten, I'm not sure if I got glutened while eating out or if it was one of my other intolerances. So I'm an eating-out virgin. Anyway, I'm currently on an elimination diet and we're going to spend...

    Hi everyone! Thanks so much for the replies! I've only been on the elimination diet for 2 days - not long at all. I'm only eating fruits, vegetables and lean meats, which is really hard - I'm craving carbs of any kind! I haven't had anything processed, with the exception of canned in water albacore tuna, and the sugar I'm getting is coming from fruit...

    I felt great on a gluten-free/cf diet for 3.5 months, but lately I haven't been feeling normal anymore. Not nearly as bad as I used to feel, but not great, either. So I decided to start an elimination diet to hopefully figure out what else I'm intolerant to. It's only been 2 days, but I actually feel a little worse. Am I just detoxing and it will get...

    Actually, for the most part, I feel blessed. I suffered for years despite seeing dozens of specialists a year who didn't diagnose me. The fact that avoiding certain foods can actually make me feel like a normal person seems a small price to pay. On the other hand, I'm currently frustrated because I'm not feeling so good and I'm pretty sure I haven't been...

    You are very fortunate that you had no horrible symptoms from baking with gluten-y products. I admit to being rather b*tchy if I have to be - gluten-containing flour will not be entering my house ever again. Then again, I have rather long glutening episodes - it takes me at least a week to feel better.

    Yep. It was likely some kind of syrup they put in it, not the wine itself. I'm actually drinking a glass of pinot noir right now - thank goodness wine is gluten-free!

    Thanks Leah! I'll definitely keep trying. I can tolerate fruit purees - I usually cut out the oil or butter and use unsweetened applesauce, which usually works well except the bread then has no flavor. I will definitely try her 4 flour bread.

    Count me in for one that gained weight unexplainably. I wasn't obese (I went from 137 at 5'7" to 159) but as a triathlete that was working out several hours a day, the steady weight gain made no sense. Even cutting calories down to an obscenely low level for my activity level didn't help. I've since lost all the weight and am hoping to lose another 5-7 lbs...

    Yes, I have her book. I've tried the french bread and a few other recipes. They aren't bad, but they don't taste similar enough for me to switch from my beloved english muffins. Her english muffin recipe calls for 1/4 c. of nut butter. That much would KILL me! Thanks

    I'm spending $15 a week on Kinnikinnick english muffins. I love them - they are the closest thing I've found to the taste and texture of french bread and they don't have an enormous amount of fat in them (I have trouble digesting fat). I've tried several recipes and mixes but nothing compares to the deliciousness that is those english muffins! Does...

    I'm so sorry to hear that your husband is not being as considerate as he should be. I finally realized why I've been feeling so sick this past month - my husband had been making bread each week! Thankfully, he's finally agreed (in the last week) to my proposed ban on gluten flour in the house. He eats his bread, crackers and bagels, but he's very good...

    Leah, just wanted to say thanks so much!

    Thanks everyone! I am looking forward to making jambalaya (Zatarain's) with smoked sausage - a favorite before going gluten-free!

    Oscar Mayer, which is owned by Kraft, has a product called "Turkey Smoked Sausage" that is not listed on their gluten-free product list. However, by searching around the oscar mayer website, I found a place where you could submit a question, so I asked if it was gluten-free. It directed me to the PDF of Kraft foods that says that if it contains gluten, it...

    Thanks so much everyone! I'll be taking a list of all you've recommended to the grocery store today to see what they carry!

    I'm trying to find one and I'm having a hard time. Thanks!

    Do you all think someone could get glutened if the bread flour is poured into the loaf pan outside and then carried inside? It then gets put into the breadmaker with the lid closed, but with all the mixing the breadmaker does, I'm wondering if little puffs of flour could get out through the cracks in the breadmaker and/or when he's carrying the flour-containing...
