I did a half ironman last year. On the bike I brought along boiled potatoes w/a little salt on them. I cut them up into smaller pieces and put the in a zip lock and they worked out fine. Pre runs and stuff I do the pancake w/peanut butter OR gluten-free frozen waffles with peanut butter. I also tend to do Snickers minis if it's not too hot outside...

How did you make the buckwheat? I tried the millet in the rice cooker last night. Seemed to work. I read online you can do the same w/the buckwheat . . .

My hubby and I wanted to win a basket SO bad too!! People in front of us and behind us both won them. We decided next year we have a new strategy in buying out tickets!! Melissa Dennis wasn't it? Maybe it was Melinda, either way, you are right. She was fabulous. I went out and bought two new grains over the weekend because I am one those celiacs who...

I was there! It was really great. I learned so much and wish I had known about this conference when I was first diagnosed. My DH went too just so I wouldn't have to go alone and he actually learned a lot AND really liked the gluten free beer (so did I). We also ate our body weight in snacks and treats. I felt so ill when I left from all the "free" samples...

Thank you both (emcmaster and Nancym). I think I am going to really give a full effort. My DH might think I am nuts since I *want* to restrict even more from my diet but I think it might help. I will try cooking the veggies really really well. That does seem to make some what a difference because I notice when I eat cooked broccoli vs raw broccoli . ...

I really want to do the elmination diet but I crave stuff like rice and corn tortillas. I probably eat rice cakes almost every day! I tend to have a lot of difficulty with roughage type stuff (veggies like carrots, spinach, heck all veggies really) and I am a VEGETARIAN (who consumes some tuna). I feel like the rice and corn tortillas "settle" my often upset...

Thanks. I appreciate your concern and advice. I have started the iron pill again. I do train w/a heart rate monitor so I can keep track of my heart rate while training and I never push it too hard.

Thank you so much for the reponses! I really appreciate it and Bully4You, you didn't ramble. That is the kind of thing I am looking to ask and inquire about. Never thought about Yeast . . . will have to google that I guess and find out what it is in etc. I do eat primarily veggies and such but they tend to be the worst on my stomach. It's hard since I don...

First a little background: I have been diagnosed with Celiac since 2004 (I think). Have been on and off the diet for various reasons and I have been trying to stick with it since February w/a few minor slip ups. I don't get immediate symptoms just malabsorption, bloating and other stomach discomforts. Even on the diet I have terrible bloating and stomach...

Wow, Robb, thank you very much for that ".02 reply." I really appreciate it. To answer some of your questions, I am not vegan for political or religious reasons. Mainly because 1. I am allergic to dairy (that was discovered when I was about 5 years old) and 2. I just never really "liked" the taste of meat and so at 16, decided to stop eating it. However...

Thanks! I'd appreciate it. I am always willing to try new recipes and I love falafels. I am sensitive to fat. It never really settles well with me.

No, I have never heard of them. Really? Are they available in any store or just on line? I might have to go google them right now! Thanks! I just checked on line. They are more than 15 grams of fat for 1 burger. I am a little sensitive to fats and I been trying to lose the weight I have gained since going gluten free. Not exactly a good choice. Thanks...

Welcome Robb! I am also in Northern California. Since going gluten free I have gained quite a bit of weight. Weight that wasnot totally necessary. A few lbs were fine but now I am pushing more than 15. I am a runner who has transitioned in triathlons the past year or so. I am doing my first 1/2 Ironman in Aug. I want to do better in all portions of the...

I have tried. Countless times to make veggie burgers and they just crumble and fall apart. Even tried it with Gluten free TVP etc. I found one more recipe today using kidney beans but I am afraid to try it. My hubby got so mad when my last veggie burger attempt crumble all over the grill and made a terrible mess. I can't do dairy either so I lack the...
