    I have a sister in law who has gone gluten free to loose weight, and it works for her. I've watched a diet program on tele that doesn't actually say go gluten free, but looking at what they are telling the overweight people to eat, it looks to me to be very gluten free. They even went on to say that porridge is not good for breakfast. I always thought...

    Corn thins are one of my staples. And they don't go stale Cottage cheese and avocado. corn thins under baked beans and scrambled eggs. In a hurry, just corn thins. But when doing after school care, I must remember to take a few to share with the children. But they love the sakata crackers better, but would rather the flavoured types, which I won't have...

    A few hints about quinoa for cooking. Quinoa needs to be thoroughly washed, or else it has a bitter taste. Quinoa has a similar texture to couscous, but is much tastier and has an earthy, sesame, nutty taste. Can be used instead of rice, couscous or taboulleh. Toast the quinoa in a dry frying pan for five minutes before cooking to give it a roasted...

    Julie, I am not sure, but a couple of times I am sure stress has played a part. I have searched to see where I might have been glutened, but was at a loss. Once about three months ago, was the night before flying out to see my parents, and I had horrendous stomach pains and D, worse than what it had been lately, especially after being glutened. That stressed...

    My sister-in-law has taken up the gluten free diet to loose weight. And it is working, which upsets me, cause it is not working for me, and I have no choice in the matter. Catherine

    How about these from significant others: If you toast the bread it will kill the gluten. Take your own oil to the restuarant and you will have no problem. Are you okay with potato starch? I found this diet book that will suit you, it is low G I You should loose a lot of weight now Did you cheat? Or if I say I have to be careful with my...

    I'm a bit late coming to this thread. Looks like everyone has moved on from the music stuck in the head theme, to chocolate. While on chocolate, I ate a small bar 50g last night, and had the most awful night sleep, bad dreams, but so restless and I then something a bit like a sleep paralysis. Just so horrible. Actually I fared better the night before when...

    Just had to say, you let the dogs out!!!!! Catherine

    And I seem to use heaps of toilet paper too, even though it is not constipation. How embarassing! Catherine

    Diahroea or constipated is what it is all about. Ehhh... as you would say. I get D, and have probably only had constipation about 5 times total in my whole life. Catherine

    So right, have just read, while reading a foody book to "Choose a coconut with plenty of liquid sloshing around inside" Catherine

    Irish Kelly, For everyone it is different. I think for me, if I am extra extra careful with what I eat, I am usually fine. But being extra extra careful has been the hardest bit. It is not that I am eating gluten, but it occassionally gets in, so that doesn't help. But my biggest problems are other intolerances which seem to keep the D going. I have...

    Still, I must be one of the nice ones. When a 5 year old girl started school a few years back and was noted to have a peanut allergy, we did our best as far as our school lunch scheme was concerned and I removed anything that could have traces of peanuts in the products that we were selling. It was not too hard, but I felt I owed it to the girl concerned...

    No I am not bored Saz. It is precisely how I feel when I find something I can eat, that I have so totally been missing out on. I still need to find licorice allsorts. I have done the health food shops, with being a small city there are only a couple of health food shops, but we do have a wonderful alternative type shop which has just about everything...

    Why does the line have to be drawn? Why don't people have a bit of consideration for us with food intolerances? It is not going to cost any extra for their running costs if they don't have to feed us? A tick in the appropriate box should fix that. Sorry Saz, I'm not having a go at you, but it just annoys me that we are brushed under the carpet, and if...

    I agree it is annoying to buy into package deals when you cannot eat anything that is on offer. There should be an out, where you can just go for the trip, instead of paying for a meal that is not appropriate. It seems everybody is culturally sensitive to people of different races, which is wonderful, but there does not seem to be the sensitivity for people...

    I have read and heard somewhere that we should not eat yoghurt. But I think that is just being extra careful. Not all yoghurts have gluten, but some will. I check and recheck the yoghurts I eat, and have never had any reaction to it, except once, when I think it might have been the favour or colouring. I tend to stick to the same yoghurt, it is plain...

    I have been gluten free for 9 months, and still my stools float. I don'tknow what this indicates, but at least I do not have constant d d like I used too. Catherine

    Carla, you are funny, but you are right the brain is such an amazing thing, and should never be underestimated. But in all honesty, I think it is the intestines that has the ability to detect that tiny amount of gluten, and passes that info to the brain. Maybe that is why I am sick today, and my head hurts, a bit like a hungover feeling. Lol, but I did...

    I was a bit silly last night, and pushed the boundaries with food way too far. I knew when I ordered the chips, that there was a chance of a reaction, but I was prepared to take that risk. What I want to know is how far do you push the boundaries with food, and what is your weakness? Mine last night was chips from the fish and chip shop and a steak fried...

    Ursula, I totally agree with you. When I eat gluten free, I do not expect to get sick, so when I get a reaction to something I am so totally stunned, because I am not expecting it. I know in the beginning before being gluten free, I was beginning to wonder if it was just all in my head, and I was sending signals to my intestines to play up. But the minute...

    This is precisely why I like being coeliac, well not really, but being coeliac has opened up new doors in the pantry so to speak. It has forced me to try new and different foods, that I would never have thought of trying in a million of years. Gone are the days, where we will have this and that, now I think oh I would like to try that, and maybe see what...

    I can't really relate to a 16 month olds toilet habits. But me, being quite a few years older have noticed since going gluten free I do not need to get up in the middle of the night to pee. Just what you wanted to hear, I know. But there might be a relationship between being gluten free and not being gluten free and using the toilet. I am still drinking...

    It is yummy and so easy to make. I eat it for breakfast. It must be a kiwi, aussie dessert. Sago comes from a palm tree, so it is completely different to tapioca I would suggest you try half the recipe, as the full recipe is such a lot if you do not like it. here is a recipe, from my sister Lemon Sago (Liz's) 1 cup sago 4 cups warm water ...

    It makes me so annoyed when that happens. I know when I ask questions like this, I do not always completely believe what is said. When I am in a situation like this, where I am hungry and need something to eat, I ask the questions and take what I think is the safest option. I don't know why vendors lie to us, and say what they think we want to hear...
