    How long have you been gluten-free? I'm asking because I think cooking is something you get used to.... I mean I would die without my dishwasher but its an aquired perspective. When you base your life around running to El Pollo then you obviously don't stock up but I actually really enjoy food shopping now. Im not saying it wouldn't be useful...

    nope even worse, oil presently France I dunno... its like some people find it easier to carry home tins than make something themself for human food as well. I never found it easier ... when you have the ingredients a pound of minced beef can be whatever you want whereas if you have tins of spagetti sauce or chilli sauce then its pretty much...

    You don't know the half of it ... He was born in Africa and lived in a few African countries then his first flight to Vienna where he had to stop with his aunty, best pal and her other cat who he never did get on with while I got a job anywhere not the UK.... (because of the quarantine at the time) then he lived In Norway through 2 winters and saw his first...

    Quite the opposite I think, most alcoholics are in denial .. while you are still asking the question then shai76's advice seems pertinent.... If you don't keep asking the question how would you ever realise there is a problem or even try quiting and realise it is a problem at least until it is too late and by that time its all or nothing. Neither did she...

    Cooking: It depends what it is.... cheap non free range chicken yes... but free range beef no. Raw chicken we used to chop up and stick in a little chicken broth ... and cook... by gentle boiling Seasonings ... nope except when he was a kitten he would try anything ?? chips, bread ... the weirdest things. Once he was matured he wasn't interested in...

    Almost every Italian and French person over the age of 10-14 drinks alcohol nearly everyday. Yet you rarely see them drunk. In contrast, most Norwegains only drink 2 days a week, however you often see them drink until they vomit and then continue drinking...and this is grown up people in business suits. Most Norwegains consider the French and Italians...

    Fresh meat, fish and birds? with fur, feathers and all. You have a little adjustment over this as the poor cat's digestive system gets back to what it should be which can give a little D ... my cat used to go through this every time he came back from the cattery which fed them dried food and much of the dried food is packed full of addictive stuff...

    I think you obviously took that first step yourself....not knocking the advice given but the most important thing is YOU realise if YOU have a problem. To be honest I probably drink a similar amount but the difference is I have no probs stoppng whenever. I know I'm a guy and the limits are a little different but if I go away somewhere (and my old job...

    ARCHIVED Tabouleh

    I use quinoa too. Same for cous-cous

    I always make a point of eating some of something I don't like just to prove the point. I don't think Im intolerannt to cauliflower but heck does it give me wind and a bad stomach so I relish eating some then keep passing wind and complaining of a sore tum... When they ask .. I just say "yep but its not important .. gluten is killing me this just makes...

    The first question is when you say always 100lbs overweight do you mean always or since the marriage/relationship? I don't want to sound too unkind but it seems you and hubby are using each other's weaknesses as (and all at the same time) an excuse, a way to get at the other person, a way not to face it ... You seem to be mutually feeding on each other...

    Firstly, baking is one of those things... it requires practice and exact quantities, temperatures and timing but mainly just practice. When you switch to gluten-free baking it muddles all your experience up, its like being a blacksmith and being given wood to work with instead... the basic skills are all the same but the feeling you have is different...

    ARCHIVED Alert: Mcdonald's Lied

    gfp replied to a topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    This was my original point..(on another thread). its a matter of court record that McDo's lie as a matter of course and when they don't they avoid knowing the facts so they can claim not to know or they just mislead based on the fact if you ask they might go intot he storage room and find a fact sheet or two... if they haven't gone missing. Like vydorscope...

    That sums it up pretty well I think there are lots of reasons, those who knew you when you were hiding some of the symptoms don't really realise that you were ill and running to the loo. They expect you eat it and you are ill straight away but they remember you eating a pizza with a beer and think that you are making a fuss? Another common thread I...

    ARCHIVED "hidden" Gluten

    gfp replied to Laurasc's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    LOL ... unfortunate but true....

    My opinion is if it doesn't say the source of malt don't risk it .. and the same for other wheat barley derivatives. Experience tells me that those who don't label it properly in the first case often either don't know or don't want to know ... The same is true for oats ... Quakers are just being honest (good for them) personally I think we should...

    Why are you adding extra selenium? Unless you have been tested its a rather dangerous toxin to play about with. Given your mutlivitamins probably contain enough unless you have been tested and found deficient I wouldn't start playing about with a toxin as dangerous as selenium. The threshold between what is needed and what is toxic is very narrow and...

    I would say like Tarnalberry says just avoid anything in a packet ... but the main thing to make her feel safe is talk to her and involve her. you sound like a wonderful SIL and you are obviously willing to do what it takes but it does take lots of experience. I honestly think that if you just involve her she will appreciate more than her being polite...

    I included it more as a point of interest but I don't think with the exception of the one substance they quote you have to dislike the foods but a supertaster gets a different range of tastes... I happen to love grapefruit, no sugar and Ill eat lemon if its in my glass! But largely I think the site is just an intro... if someone was interested then...

    ARCHIVED Loss Of Weight

    gfp replied to a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    I must be an expert LOL ... without meaning to be... ! But if you need to put on some weight then eat regularly but not to much so as to feel over full. Sumo wrestlers eat mainly vegetable soup... and then sleep after. Im usually trying to loose weight but did get really underweight at one point and I just reversed general diet advice ... be warned...

    Absolutely agree... The body only has 2 methods of telling us we are hungry or missing something, even if that something is caffine or tobacco. If you are celaic and eating and not adsorbing the nutrients your body tells you its still "hungry" so you eat more but still don't adsorb nutrients. When we go gluten-free then our villi heal, we adsorb even...

    Yes absolutely but also because they often cook the chickens with other stuff like pork etc. which itself may have gluten in and they tend to just keep basting with whatever fat runs off or the chickens are below the pork etc. In Paris rotisserie chickens are very common, almost every butcher has a rotiserrie outside but I found out a secret .. some...
