    Mc Cormick pure spices are gluten-free, and if there is gluten in anything they make it's clearly listed on the label.

    I asked the pharmacist about baby vitamins and she looked at me like I was nuts. I guess I need to talk to the dr today I bought some prune juice and orange juice and made myself a nice iron cocktail with it last night (prune juice is high in iron and the oj helps it absorb). By the way, I don't reccommend prune juice right before bed if you want to...

    Ok, here's a link to the book on Amazon: Open Original Shared Link On the picture of the book it says Search Inside, click that. Then it's going to ask you for login information (username & password) that you have if you've ordered from them before. Actually, when I did it just now it didn't ask. Anyway, when the online reader comes up, put...

    The thing is that I can't take centrum, because it makes me nauseated and makes my throat burn. Any adult vitamin does that, and even the kids ones do it to me now. When I was a poor student and I was trying to donate plasma, I ate cream of wheat and oj to bring my iron up enough to do the donation. It worked for a few days... then they got my more...

    Soooo, the GI's office called today with my iron study results. Big shock! I'm more anemic than I thought! Hematocrit 19 when over 40 is normal Saturation was 4% when 20%-50% is normal Ferritin was 4 when over 10 is normal Is that really bad? Anyway, the doc wants me on an iron supplement ASAP and is asking the dr about what I can take...

    It's probably not very kosher to do that, but I imagine that if you cited the cookbook it would be ok. Something that I do (and always do before buying a cookbook) is use the search inside option for the book. I searched that book and found the recipe (it's on page 35). I don't think you can print it, but you can copy it down and try it. I just hate buying...

    You can use parchment paper for almost anything That would definitely work.

    Well, the results of the iron study came back...I knew I was anemic, but I didn't think I was THAT anemic!!! Here were levels: Hematocrit 19 when over 40 is normal Saturation was 4 when 20%-50% is normal Ferritin was 4 when over 10 is normal Holy hell. Since I don't tolerate vitamins well, I see a lot of liverwurst and spinach in...

    Yeah, I realized looking at my list of potential ingredients that I had all of the makings of jambalaya! Or something reasonably close, anyway. I never measure either, I'm a big tosser in of ingredients. I'm thinking of browning the rice too to make it nuttier. I can't wait to cook with it!!!

    I'm a big BIG food nerd and I get really excited about new tools DH allowed me to buy (read: allowed me to guilt him into) a 5 1/2 qt. white round Le Creuset french oven. I had to have it RIGHT NOW because the company discontinued the white and I wanted my workhorse (the 5 1/2 qt) to match everything always, since it'll always be out. I had to get...

    Friday night is also pizza night in my house, and we just switched to gluten-free pizza. I am a pizza snob, so I know my stuff. If you make the red bag of chebe mix, add parmesan to the mix, and bake it on a stone, it passes for real pizza! The crust is crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, just like it should be. If you use your old gluteny stone...

    I'd been thinking about baby vites for a while, since I can't seem to tolerate big kid vitamins I used to be able to handle kids chewable vitamins, but they're upsetting my stomach, even. Are the baby ones really more gentle? How much do adults take? Thanks for calling them!

    I ran across this on Simply Recipes this morning, sounds good! Open Original Shared Link I have to remember the guac recipe, since my cookbook I base it on is in a box somewhere until I unpack it. I think I can remember the salsa off the top of my head too...lemme think about it GUACAMOLE 2 lg. ripe avocados 1 med onion, chopped ...

    DH is a gluten addict, and he actually likes tinkyada better than regular pasta. I thought pasta was the easiest thing to replace! It also helped that most of the things that were in my dinner rotation were already gluten-free, and the others were easily modified. Nini has an oven baked fried chicken recipe using instant potato flakes that works really well...

    There's always guacamole and salsa. I have recipes for both that are excellent if you would like.

    That's great! That makes a world of sense that they're owned by Procter & Gamble. For future reference, they list gluten on their labels, but always give out a CYA statement.

    Sorry, it's just funny that you've got a vacuum on your boob every time you get on here Way to go on the pumping, though!

    When was it taken? Fasting? Random? Just after eating? 2hours after eating? Here's a site that might help: Open Original Shared Link

    1/4 cup of raisins has over 3g of fiber in them! Here's a site with tons of high fiber food reccomendations: Open Original Shared Link

    That is not always true. I'm looking for a second opinion and I'm going to be gluten-free after my endo no matter what. In my case, I was dx'ed celiac on inconclusive bloodwork and dietary response alone by my primary doctor. I decided that I needed the endo or else I would be questioning my dx until the day I died and I would have cheated a lot. That does...

    Um, ditto Nini. I've been on a gluten challenge for about a month and I've gained 16 lbs I think my body thinks it's starving. My GI didn't seem surprised for some reason. I just bought a gazelle, maybe if I use that it'll help.

    Could have been a couple of things: 1: grapes have a lot of sugar, it may have been a sugar problem if you ate a bunch of them. I know that would bother me! 2: Are the kinnikinnik donuts fried? I can't imagine what obscure flours and oil would do to my stomach, eep! 3: A combination of both 4: you just feel sicky today? Feel better...

    Rinsing your mouth with a fairly strong solution of warm salt water will help with both the infection and the swelling. It is in no way pleasant, but it will definitely help. Do it several times a day until it goes away Also, avoid cokes and acidic foods until it's gone (oranges, tomatoes, etc)

    Hah! I've totally done it! If you can handle having skippy, they have a nifty squeeze tube that's good for travelling. Not the best PB in the world, but it does the job. Sounds good to me! I think I've actually had that combo! Almonds are good, too... Lucky! That's 75 bucks my husband hasn't agreed to part with yet ...

    Sorry? I found this confusing... Please correct me: it has gluten from wheat, barley, rye, or oats It has corn It has soy It has sucralose (splenda) If it does have gluten from WBRO, which component is it in? The only sketchy thing I saw was flavors?
