    Hugs, Fire Fairy. It's natural to want to please those you love. But you gave eggs and dairy up because your body rejected them. How much fun will you be to be around if your intestines are tied in knots and you have the hershey squirts? Anyone who slams you for your diet, no matter what way you chose or need to eat, is not your friend. Your boyfriend's family...

    LOL!!!

    It's funny....I don't OD on food anymore. One serving (sometimes a couple bites more) is sufficient. I can't seem to stuff myself, even when others are going back for more.

    To start introducing more meat into your diet, you might try fish first. Some of my vegetarian friends who have found they've needed more protein have successfully done that by first going for the not too fishy fishy -- trout, tilapia, whitefish, haddock, catfish. You can bake it, pan fry it, season with dill and olive oil, put it in salad, top it with salsa...

    My first has been eating grain-free since he was 9 weeks old. He's 3 years now. His coat is shiny and sleek, never has digestive issues, has never been sick, has perfect teeth. When he gets hold of his cousin dog's food (some wheat- and corn-filled brand), he pukes and gets the runs. Same if someone at the pet store slips him a biscuit. That's when I notice...

    There are truly gluten-free dog foods. You have to read the ingredients, because what the pet food companies call gluten-free isn't the same as what it means for humans. Look for the foods that do not contain wheat, barley, or rye. If you go for grain-free dog food, you eliminate the possibility of the evil three. Pure Vita, Nature's Variety Instinct, Orijen...

    Gas up your car, too. Were you in an area hit by the derrecho in June? Getting gas for a friend's generator the next day was quite the production. Be safe, fellow East Coasters!

    It will get easier. I remember the first trips I took after going gluten-free. I was so hungry and miserable; I didn't pack enough food and had no chance to find a store to go shopping. Learn what fuels you best and pack extra of that. I used to be the kind that could get by with just a carry-on bag. Now I check a bag filled with food. I'm grain-free, dairy...

    Thanks! I'll check the local fish market. If rice is the hardest part, then this should be easy. I make rockin' sushi rice.

    I would really like to make my own sushi. I've gotten nailed every time I've gone out for sushi, even though I've asked them to use clean utensils, use clean boards, don't use egg, fish egg, unagi (my former favorite), imitation crab, or anything with soy and have gone at a not busy time. Not sure whether it's been CC or some random thing containing or soaked...

    My birth mother (deceased) had a "problem with wheat" according to my dad. Whether Celiac or NCGI we'll never know. I went gluten-free before testing and then could not take on a gluten challenge due to my reaction to gluten when ingested; that was all the test I needed. However I had the genetic testing done and came back double DQ7 (one from each parent...
