Hi Susan--Good to hear you feeling so chipper! My rec. on the ice cream machine--get the Cuisinart. Several of us have it--it's very easy to use!

Patti-

can you ahve dairy? I think you can't so what do you use to make ice cream?

miamia

This is what I did Susan,

I used a steamer basket and put it in to a big enough pan (that has a lid) so the tortillas would be flat, filled the pan with an inch or so of water and brought it to boiling (make sure you watch the water level because you don't want tit to evaporate out and burn the pan) then once I saw steam rising from the boiling water, I placed a couple of tortillas in the basket and put the lid on. I steamed them just for about a minute or so.

Steaming makes the corn tortillas really moist and pliable, it doesn't dry them out, and I think it brings out the sweetness of the corn.

Happy Friday to everyone :)

Andrea, I love the new picture of the kids!

Donna, so sorry you had an itchy leg reaction :(

Rachel, very exciting about the rock climbing :)

MiaMia, I think it was you that mentioned you eat spinach? It is one of the major "big ones" on all of the foods that have naturally occuring histamine. Maybe you could try to go without it for a week and see what happens? Just a thought.

The spinach thing is definitly something I should try but its hard I have not found many vegees that I can tolerate and I was always alright with it- or so I thought .

I feel like I keep finding all these things to cut out but nothing much to add.

Thanks julie for the advice

I'm envisioning Karen, on an Oscar Meyer float, big bun and all ;) , with a necklace made of mini-Altoid tins connected together . . . and some really ummmm evocative, maybe, costume. I agree with the Ice Cream Man theory, and she could do one of two things . . . wear one of those "Change-maker" things around her waist (too mechanical, maybe), OR, as part of a Rachelville is a Wonderville theme, she could simply toss Altoids out to the crowds (all except the Cinnamon . . . ouch) . . . . She could have a crown, and wear the long white gloves, and wave like parade princesses do . . . . And, should someone become harmed in the mad rush to see the Altoid Goddess on Parade, then I can patch 'em up, and send 'em back out!!! Yeah, THAT'S the ticket!!

Dear Citizens of Rachelville:

As your resident Counsellor, I have decided that for morale purposes, we need to have a "City of Rachelville Citizen of the Year Award".

Attached is a picture of the trophy I have designed for such an award:

Does it get counsel approval?

Hi Rachelville friends! I just had to stop by an internet cafe and visit Rachelville, because I'm hungry and I miss the place where all the food is safe and happy and gluten and auxigro and everything else free! Grow me some food and have the geese fly it over! LOL haha...but it's okay...I'll figure out how to eat here! I even found a place today that sells Bumble Bars!

I don't really know what's going on in Rachelville, but I saw a box of altoids showed up :o and the population grew! My internet time's up.. gotta go!

:):D:)

Hi Miamia

How are things today? I have not used dairy in over 2 years. I use Vance's Dari Free. It's a potato-based milk substitute--it contains no soy, grain, nuts or gluten. It makes pretty good "ice cream!"

Patti, you have to try the Vance's chocolate milk. It tastes just like regular chocolate milk. Even my gluten eating granddaughter thinks it tastes the same. So yummy.

Hi Celia! Good to see you :D So, today's moving day? Sounds hectic--moving and being in "transition" is not fun. Hope everything goes smoothly ;)

Yep--I have the same Cuisinart as Vincent. Actually he suggested it to me :)

Robbin, I'm so sorry to hear that you had such a rough day yesterday. I can't imagine having a problem with my eyes--I guess I take them for granted. I hope that you are better this morning :)

Karen--That trophy is perfect :D

How great was it to hear from Mango? :D

Can't wait to hear about Rachel's softball game.

Andrea--If you get a chance to check in today, just want to say hi!

Hi to everyone--hope you all have a great weekend! :)

Patti, you have to try the Vance's chocolate milk. It tastes just like regular chocolate milk. Even my gluten eating granddaughter thinks it tastes the same. So yummy.

Thanks, Armetta--I should try it. It would be easier to make chocolate "ice cream" with it! I bet it also makes good hot cocoa :P I'm happy to see you posting. Are you doing any better? I've been thinking about you :)

Patti, I am doing better, but the doctor said this past Monday that I have a ways to go in the recovery process. I don't post long answers, but have started to again get into the forum.

Can you give me a link for the ice cream that you make? I only ordered a qt. of the chocolate and wished I had ordered more this last time. I really had no idea how great it would be. You are going to love it. Hugs.

I had vances a while ago - I can't remember how it sat. I still have some in my fridge- does it have a shelf life? I want to try it again but it may not be good anymore.

Armetta--I emailed Vance's and they got back to me with several recipes for ice cream. I printed them off, and deleated the email. The thing I notice about the recipes is that they use things like gelatine and eggs--both of which I don't want to use. The ice cream also comes out of the machine nice and soft, like custard--but when you transfer it to a container and freeze it, it becomes rock-hard. We determined that it was because it has no fat. Anyway, I've experimented with it and found that adding a banana or two (blended in the blender) helps with the hardness. Here's the recipe I used the other day.

In blender combine 2 bananas, 2 cups of Vances (prepared thick), 1 cup sugar, 2 tsp vanilla, 1/2 tsp. cinnamon, 1/2 cup chocolate chips (ground to almost a powder in the blender). Blend until smooth. Pour into ice cream machine, process for 20-30 minutes. Done.

You can take the idea, and add or omit anything that you like. :)

OMG... I JUST saw our town trophy...... :lol::lol: ... I LOVE IT!!!!!!

I'll try to post as much as I can today (moving truck is here and have to move all my kids stuff into storage until they close on their new home)..... think I'll survive this? :lol:

I think you'll survive... but moving is stressful... you should make tomorrow a relaxing day- go get a massage or something.

I believe the shelf life dry is a year (unopened or in an airtight container), after mixing with water, it's a week.

Acorind to thier FAQ, Vances prepraied as milk lasts about a WEEK, Vances power if sealed in air tight container is good for a YEAR.

      Autoimmune Reaction to SO many foods

      Hi Trent! Thanks so much for your warm welcome and questions! They do, but these symptoms have been ongoing for a long time before the pregnancy. However, it's hard for me to know what's a celiac response vs. a Hashimotos one. I haven't, maybe it's worth getting those checked again?

      Autoimmune Reaction to SO many foods

      Welcome to the forum, @Maura Gissen! Don't those same symptoms often come along with the territory when pregnant? And then throw in Hashimoto's. Have you had your celiac antibody levels checked recently?

However, I was unable to do the full reintroduction process because I went off the AIP diet when I got pregnant and was experiences chronic nausea." CBC = Complete Blood Count. This is the typical bloodwork most people would have done routinely with an annual wellness checkup. I would include things like iron levels, various blood cell counts including reds and whites and other infection fighters. CMP = Complete Metabolic Panel. This would measure things like blood sugar, kidney and liver function, plasma proteins and various enzymes. Non cellular things that the body produces. Also typical of an annual wellness check. Have you tried cutting out dairy and oats? These two are the most common cross reactors in the celiac community. I know it must be tough trying to get adequate calories and nutrition when you are pregnant while at the same time eliminating foods that are good sources of those things.

      They did. I was doing a lot better on the AIP diet. However, I was unable to do the full reintroduction process because I went off the AIP diet when I got pregnant and was experiences chronic nausea. This is what makes me believe it's food related.  I do check all of my food products and supplements and I am very careful about them being gluten free and trying to stay away from corn starch etc. However, I am eating gluten free breads that sometimes have rice flour, yeast, etc. - I seem to do fine with these breads/bread products some days, but then am sick other days.  I have never really had any GI symptoms outside of bloating. My symptoms are dizziness, brain fog, and a general feeling of unwellness or malaise, sort of like when you're going to get the flu.  I have had a lot of bloodwork done over the last three years, but I don't recall doing the CBC, CMP, or a celiac-specific test recently. That's helpful so that could at least provide some insight to see if I'm still being exposed.  Do you see most individual with celiacs having to take a period of time away from even gluten free breads and other cross-reactive foods to let their guts heal? I'm not sure how restrictive to get with my diet again since it's so challenging.

      Did the symptoms commence after you discontinued the AIP diet? Have you checked all nutritional supplements and oral hygiene products for possible gluten content? Have you recently checked all the labels of purchased processed foods in your pantry to check for formulation changes that might have introduced gluten? Historically, when "glutened" did you have GI symptoms or were you a "silent" celiac whose symptoms were non GI. Is what you are experiencing now like what you were experiencing at the time of diagnosis? Have you had recent blood work done (CBC and CMP) and if so, were there any parameters out of norm? I know you have Hashimoto's but you say that is well controlled now? It certainly wouldn't hurt to get celiac antibodies rechecked. Because you are essentially gluten free I would not expect to see any big departures from normal levels but if there are even weak positives it could indicate you are getting glutened from some unexpected source.
