    Technically its part of the same family as rhubarb's and may weeds, sorrel etc. The green parts of the plant are poisionous like uncooked rhubarb but it is also quite a heavy ingredient .. many people tend to find it sits heavy on the stomach. For me its a backup I use making crepes etc for a quick snack... but it has a strong taste and doesn't usually...

    You don't need to be a teen to have this... some people just can't accept something as basic as wheat is a problem ... it goes against everything we have been brought up to think of as staple and even in bad diets its the lettuce and bun on a burger that people make the excuse and say "well its not completely unhealthy" ... I found when I was going gluten...

    Any oil will do but olive oil is a bit strong for the hollandaise taste ... I would try a very mild olive oil and perhaps 1/2 and 1/2 with grape-seed or a very light oil. I usually use a cup inside a saucepan and keep an oven glove on and regulate the temp by taking it in/out of the just below boiling water... and I use the same trick as eKatherine with...

    I'm surprised noone has mentioned giving the cats a natural diet. However you do have to switch slowly ... Of course doormice and things are a bit gross but my cat used to eat fish and meat exclusively except on the odd occaision he went to the cattery when he got the Eukanuba stuff and had D for ages afterwards. Most of the time, especially in summer...

    I think its good to have a friend for everything from shopping to cooking and most importantly for motivation. However, I have found and others on forums etc. have also remarked that not all friends are equal in this respect. The first thing to realise is many dear friends and relatives just don't get it. As GFBetsy just pointed out the process is...

    Its been mentioned before but always worth repeating.... It is also quite normal to be depressed while breaking an addiction, especially one which is physical as well as psychological and there is a clear medical reason for this. Whether you choose to beleive it or not is up to you. You could also just try the remedy without having to believe in science...

    Yes, you definately have to make your own luck... and there are many things you can do to push the odds in your direction. I eat out reasonably often, I just need to accept the risk and then seek to minimalise it but I still get caught out from time to time. However its equally worth mentioning that some people inadvertantly turn this against us....

    ARCHIVED Brain Fog

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

    Yes I can identifiy with both of those ....and yes the marriage breaking up turned out to be a good thing Workwise things were a bit more complex with a whole load of celiac disease related issues and my job involved a bizarre mix of boring repetitive project work that brain fog would make impossible to concentrate on with time in 3rd world cesspits...

    ARCHIVED Beer

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

    Yes but then 99% of 'beer' is also not made of corn and rice. It rather depends on your definition of beer. Several countries have strict laws as to what can be called beer (Austria and Bavaria not technically a country spring to mind) I would rather suspect that rolling rock doesn't actually know the source of the malt and its likely to be barley but...

    I think its a combination of things.... Firstly the cliched moody chef is a reality, either through chef's thinking its cool or because of the nature of the job, either way chefs tend to be rather moody individuals. I think those in chains and franchises are the worst, they probably trained to be creative and then have to dumb themselves down into a drudgery...

    ARCHIVED Beer

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

    But which type of malt do they use? Erm only wheat, rye and barley rye contain gluten and there is no reason rice or corn malt would contain gluten. The real danger is if they use corn malt but the supply chain uses a transporter that has contained gluten or other forms of contamination ? Personally I wouldn't risk it but it depends on the source...

    ARCHIVED Brain Fog

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

    Absolutely ... I am interpreting "Brain fog almost caused me to lose everything" to mean you have honesty problems with what other's say? Is that correct... ? When I have Brain fog I just want leaving alone even if I want company .. but if someone says something not completely honest I react very badly. This can be trivial like "Its going to be wonderful...

    I had promised myself not to post here anymore, just read but this has got me breaking my own rule. First off take everything DEBMIDGE said becuase its all very well thought out but I would even add to that. Relationships are a two way thing, each one is like some contract and each has different rules because both partners want different things. These...

    I just thought of the inverse .... hmmm. interesting. The funny thing is people seem incredibly sensitive to different types of alcohol. I used to drink a lof of spirits and no wine and the same amount of wine with 1/4 the alcohol would knock me out. Now I drink almost exclusivly wine and if not cider which is i guess apple wine more than beer I bet...

    What, noone told me.... (actually very good point, I know quite a few peope who have seen a nutritionist who come away scared to eat fresh fuit and vegetables because they are not labelled gluten-free)

    Nope but a lot of people do have grape allergies? I guess your tolerance is down or are you on any prescription meds? I don't know about being smashed on two glasses but two bottles minus 2 glasses is my normal with a decent meal... then im pretty smashed by the end. This is because my gluten-free (it typed g and f for girlfriend but I guess the board...

    Don't bother tuning them out tell them they are getting what they deserve and you don't want to hear about their whining, they really have no right to whine about being ill if they don't even want to change. Agree strongly on #1 But on the rest I know lots of MD's who smoke, people who trust polititians and even some people that enjoy McDonalds...
