    as to the lining of bakeware, you might try parchment paper. It is expensive and unecological, but at least it isn't also unhealthy. Aluminum is not good for you.
  2. BRUMI1968
    Yeah. I'm usually pretty ecologically minded, but I've gone to paper towels for cleaning the counters, since I never know where gluten might be hiding. (Actuallly, over the past couple weeks, I've gotten my husband almost entirely off gluten. Don't tell him though.)

    From comcast news...probably AP WASHINGTON - Many imports of canned tuna have mercury levels higher than the federal limit, according to analysis by an environmental group. Defenders of Wildlife found the highest levels of mercury in tuna from Ecuador and Mexico _ countries known for setting nets where they see dolphins to catch large tuna swimming...

    I think that craving sweets is a reaction to too much protein - and you can offset it a bit by eating apple cider vinegar. what? that's not as yummy as desssert. (The theory is you've got a lot of acid foods and need alkaline - or you've got a lot of contractive foods and need expansive -- I forget which.) Always the killjoy.... You know what I've...

    aha - math...something I avoid. I guess I meant more visually - my plate has about 80% veggies on it, and about 20% protein on it. Never mind the 25% olive oil. Yum!

    Welcome! I'm glad you got dianosed in your 20's -- for me it was 34 years of complaining - and 37 years old by the time of diagnosis. You want to Private Message "nini" to get a newbie pack. It'll be really helpful. If you live alone, you need to just get all gluten products out of your kitchen. You also, though, need to wash out all your drawers...

    I have my own toaster, and there is a dedicated counter where gluten can be. (Beer is usually forgotten to be gluten and opened on my side.) also, since our silverware was kept in a drawer on the gluten side, I have my own silverware drawer too. I thought keeping the demarcation really clear was better than moving all the silverware. I don't use wooden...

    I can't imagine what anchovies taste like? I likd ceasar dressing back in my dairy/garlic days - but always freaked out if there were actual anchovies on my salad. Are they the fishiest things ever? Do they make your breath weird? I almost bought some the other day from Italy in olive oil, but chickened out.

    I'd have to point you to Ursula as well. I don't eat beans and grains, but I eat any and all veggies, especially the cabbagy ones that I think have lectins in them. There are different kinds of lectins, and different percentages of lectins in foods - I think grains are 20% or something like that. (But never trust me with numbers.) I will say that I...

    I avoid all gluten replacement products. They are all refined grains (I mean the flour-based things, not cooked quinoa and the like). No more cookies for me. And it's helped.
  11. BRUMI1968
    I've probably just never had this wonderful 25 year old vinegar. Next time I'm bucks up, I'll look for it!
  12. BRUMI1968
    I don't think the age matters - as long as it's from Modena, Italy. My nutritionist seemd a bit hyper warning about vinegar - I think it one of those controversies. I use true balsamic and apple cider...oh yeah, and rice vinegar (but w/o the "seasoned"). You could always call a cheaper non-Italian brand to get if they are gluten-free.....

    I'm experimenting with adding back meat too. So far, just chicken. But I do look forward to a nice grass-fed hamburger patty w/i the month...have to work my way up to it. then I'll try buffalo. I am thawing a buffalo steak for my hubby right now. No doctor said to do it or not do it; I am just seeing if it changes how I feel. Plus, once I quit grains...
  14. BRUMI1968
    If it is from Modena, Italy, it cannot by law contain anything other than the vinegar. If it is not, however, there are no laws governing its production. Some chaper balsamics not from Italy contain sugars to make them more carmely - and CAN (probably don't, but can) contain gluten in that sense. Really, buying the good stuff makes a huge difference...

    I think you're mixing two of us together - I am not shy about fats at all, in fact, add olive oil to virtually every thing I eat. I also eat avocados quite frequently. The gal who has cut out most fats is doing so because her digestive tract can't handle it right now. I did some research and it looks like this type of fatigue/muscle weakness is common...

    I have been a vegan eater (except for honey and salmon - I know the salmon is a big one...but other than that I fit the diet well) for two years, vegetarian (except the salmon) for fifteen years. I did find that when I had to go gluten-free, it was more challenging than if I was a meat/cheese eater. Lots of folks on here would talk about yummy meaty/cheesy...

    I know this sounds nuts, but sauteed greens with poached eggs IS SO GOOD! napa cabbage has 3.45 g of fiber chard has 3.68 g of fiber and huge amounts of vit K,A,C, Iron, Potassium...this is good stuff. I usually do scrambled eggs with this one. Eggs have 5.54 g of protein (approx obviously) wit Vit K, tryptophan, selenium, and B12. I take the...

    I'm on day 4 of a candida-starvation diet, though one might call it a Sherri starvation diet. I eat veggies and proteins from salmon, chicken, and some seeds/nuts (I went overboard on walnuts at first, and now they bug me), and almond butter. I don't eat any grains or beans, and I only use stevia to sweeten things. I try to keep it at 80% veggies...

    I grew up in Tacoma - went to Sunset Elementary (then moved to Harbor so went to Gig Harbor High School) and then moved back and lived near Wright's Park for a few years. It seems I keep moving north - first to Seattle, then to Whidbey Island, then to Sedro-Woolley, and now to Bellingham. My parents and sister live in Tacoma - I'm trying to get them to...
  20. BRUMI1968
    Thanks, both of you. I can tell I'm dehydrated, so I need to address that. I am trying to eat 80% veggies and 20% protein, but I find my snacks tend to be protein, since I don't usually have my stove and my olive oil and my shallot handy with me, and I find most raw veggies that aren't salad to be detestible. I'll definitely drink more water. I also...

    Well, it's been about 15 days with no grains of any kind. At first it was hard, but it's gotten much easier. My digestion got better, though it didn't work itself out entirely (until I quit fruit and sugar a few days ago)...it was better, but I was still bloated. I do think I started to lose fat, since my biceps looked bigger even though they aren't, so...

    Hi. The person you need to PM (private message) is Nini. If you look up "members", hit N, then you'll find her. Ask her for the "newbie kit". She is happy to send it along. I call any manufacture of stuff I question, like "natural flavors" or "caramel color". I want to hear it from the horses mouth that they don't contain gluten. Since I've quit...

    Have you been eating any gluten-free hot cereal? If you do grains, those can be good. Cream of rice, or buckwheat (buckwheat tastes funny, but if you like it, you like it) or Bob's gluten-free hot cereal which has corn, rice, buckwheat, etc. are all options. Fruit, if you do fruit, can be good to, and are best eaten on an empty stomach. You could do...

    I will certainly say, we're at day four and I still have no bloat. I miss fruit, though. It is summer and I want all the yummy local strawberries we have here. Blast! I'm hoping that it's yeast and not fructose, so I can go back to it. Good luck.
