    Happy birthday and may God bless you today!

    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...

    ARCHIVED Introduction

    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.
  13. pturse
    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...

    ARCHIVED Introduction

    pturse replied to a topic in Sports and Fitness

    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...

    BBQ!!!!! That was my hardest adjustment (okay, not the HARDEST, but one of the most frusterating issues) I had to deal with (I am 29 now, but was diagnosed mid 20s). I am also a vegetarian, but what on earth could I bring to a social BBQ (or tail gate) when my beloved veggie burgers are now gone?? Also, as a runner, perhaps something along those lines...

    ARCHIVED Beer

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

    I drink Amstel Light. I got an email from them (I have since deleted it) stating that their beers are gluten free and they use a different way of processing I guess because it comes from Europe (their gluten standards are different anyway). I know I should be skeptical but I drink it only on occasion and feel fine. I know I know, feeling fine and having ...

    Yeah, he's my little "baby." His name is Jack. He's a Hemmingway cat . . . 6 toes on every single paw . . . but still he has absolutely no balance!

    I can totally sympathize. I've gained 15 lbs in 2 months and none of my clothes fit! I am usually one to not go by the scale and to judge by how my clothes fit . . . well now they don't. I admit, I panicked and went off the diet for about 4-5 days. Don't know what I was expecting . . . maybe for the weight to magically "disappear." It hasn't...

    My liver enzymes were elevated too. It was not the case my entire life though, only during a certain period. Went on the diet when first diagnosed (after the whole Hepatitis testing blah blah). Liver was okay after that. Went OFF the diet for a period of 6-8 months and felt absolutely fine but I ran a marathon and I guess that was too much for my body to...

    Oh, I can't agree with you enough on the Baked Lays! I LOVE them and like you, two days tops is all it takes for me to eat the ENTIRE bag! I could probably do it in one sitting too! But I try to have SOME will power. I am trying to limit myself to buying those only the weekend . . . and not every weekend. Though I have been craving them like mad...

    I am a vegetarian (and lactose intolerant) and can't handle veggies at all. I've never had a "normal" BM in my entire life but some days the D is worse then others. I am following the gluten-free diet (after an on and off couple of years). Never felt "significantly" better at any point (hence why I got frustrated and went off the diet). I am committed to...

    Wow. Thanks for the tips about Elliots and Sunrise! I will have to check those out. Next time I am in Nevada City I will check out some of the stores up there as well.

    Hey, I am from Sacramento and I competed in the Celebration of Life Triathlon last September at Scott's Flat lake. My friend's family lives & owns an art shop there too. Nevada City is a great little town. I wasn't following the diet when I was there but you seem to have quite a few restaurants (that vegetrian healthy one in particular) that might cater...

    I don't have an answer for you but I am anxious to see what people say because I experience the same thing. Not a day goes by where I don't leave w/my stomach totally distended and bulging. I too do not wear tight clothes because it only makes it worse too!
