    I can't do high-tyramine foods or nitrates either. Fortunately I only have to avoid the super-high ones like red wine, aged cheese, and cured meat like ham. I'm going to have to try that Hormel bacon if I can find it and see if it works out. Glad I found this thread.

    Skylark, you've been such a help as I have started my gluten-free journey. Thank you!

    Punkin seems to eat a lot of junk food. It's probably affecting her mind.

    We need a good cheer emoticon! I want a clapping one too. Grass fed beef burger with mushrooms on Canyon Bakehouse bread and baby spinach salad with olive oil and balsamic vinegar tonight.

    ubiquitous gluten is right. I can relate to the emotional experiences of bipolarism and have had my horomones balanced in order to get back on the right track. Worked well. Glad you have come through so much! I am also glad you posted the celiac panel tests, a friend of my mother's is looking to have that done to find out for sure. Thanks!

    Glad to hear I'm not the only CLL. I'll have to try breading them in cornstarch or maybe cornmeal the way I cook fish. I made black bean soup yesterday, with chicken broth I'd frozen from my last roasted chicken, black beans, onion, garlic, celery, carrots, chunks of potato, salt, and some cumin. I had it with more of the baby bok choy and froze containers...

    Before you go off gluten, you need proper celiac testing. Celiac testing only works on a full gluten diet. (Four slices of bread a day worth of gluten.) If gluten turns out to be your problem, you won't want to re-poison yourself for two months to find out if you have celiac disease. Tests you need: Total IgA TTG IgA deamidated gliadin (also called...

    Sauteed chicken livers with onions and celery. (Yeah, I'm weird. I love chicken livers and I found organic ones at Whole Foods!) Steamed baby bok choy, and a slice of Canyon Bakehouse gluten-free bread.

    I told my mom about this pizza. She is not celiac and doesn't have to adhere to gluten-free perfectly in order to feel better. She was really pleased becasue she likes Domino's, she can get it delivered, and this pizza will probably work for her. I feel a little better about this product - it is at least helpful to someone I love.
  10. Skylark
    Well, Domino's could have had my business. Instead they made pseudo gluten-free pizza and lost out.

    I love Larabars. Also most of the Tiger's Milk bars have no gluten ingredients. Last time I looked, the cruch flavor was the only one with gluten.

    They didn't do the right tests to pick up celiac-related neuro problems. They would need to do the old anti-gliadin IgA and it's very prone to false negatives. Someone just pointed out that Cyrex is doing assays for autoimmunity against the neurological transglutaminase, TG6. It's part of their Array 3 - Wheat/Gluten Proteome Reactivity & Autoimmunity...

    Thanks, Jess!

    I liked your post in the "Cross-Reactivity" thread so much that I tweeted it <3

    They've never heard of a WHEAT ALLERGY? Plenty of celiacs are allergic to wheat too. Sorry you didn't get help. That's insane. I might try making an appointment with my Dr. and asking for an inhaler.
  16. Skylark
    LOL! If I was "fine, thank you" I wouldn't be in this freezing exam room putting up with the likes of you prodding at me!

    I can't tolerate gluten-free bread. It gives me asthma. I'm not sure what's getting me yet. Xanthan gum does not agree with a lot of people, or you could be reacting to a new flour or starch like tapioca or sorghum. I would suspect the xanthan gum first since it can give some people diarrhea. You would substitute guar gum, or I recently saw a gluten...

    This is so true! I only kept a separate cutting board and toaster when I had a roommate. I trust my dishwasher and trusty scrubber to get gluten off plates and pots.
  19. Skylark
    I can't weigh in as the hair strand labs don't even say what or how they're testing! I do have to say I'm suspicious of it. Eliminating one food at a time will NOT work. You will not feel better unless you get rid of all the foods to which you reacting. I don't see that you'll have to go grain-free. Are quinoa or amaranth on your list?
  20. Skylark
    I'm glad you understood! Good luck finding broth you do tolerate. I'll throw out another brand that is good and gluten-free, Pacific Natural Foods fre range organic chicken broth. There is no yeast extract in it, only various chicken concentrates. It's a broth, not a bouillon. Their beef broth does have the autolyzed yeast extract for MSG, unfortunately...

    Sometimes I feel like I'm completely wasting my time here. Are you even bothering to read my posts, squirmingitch? Or do you really not care about MSG? Better than Bouillon Low Sodium Chicken: Chicken Meat with Natural Juices [contains MSG formed in processing], Salt, Organic Cane Juice Solids, Maltodextrin (from corn), Chicken Fat, Yeast Extract [high...
  22. Skylark
    I don't think you understood what Peter is trying to say, Pauliewog. As meat is boiled, the proteins break down and MSG is naturally formed. There is no such thing as an MSG-free commercial broth or bouillon. You can make a low-MSG broth at home that you should tolerate by boiling chicken without the skin for no longer than 2 hours, quick-cooling the...

    To be honest I didn't go to extremes either. I scrubbed the kitchen, replaced a wooden cutting board that badly needed to be replaced, my wooden spoons, and an ancient toaster oven that I'd been looking for an excuse to replace. I threw out some plastic storage containers that were scratched up and also really needed to go, and replaced any condiments that...

    NOTHING will "deactivate" gluten and I'm sorry but most of your statements are scientifically incorrect. Gliadin, like all proteins, does not break down readily. "Inactivating" or hydrolyzing gliadin takes boiling it in acid, using very specific barley enzymes which are not readily available in the US, or heat above 500F (i.e. charring it). I think you...

    I don't see how rubbing alcohol is any more or less dangerous than other cleaners like bleach, ammonia, or Lysol. Potato vodka does not have a high enough alcohol% to get the chemistry we're looking for. Everclear 151 would work fine but sheesh, it's expensive. You could have fun while cleaning though. A little for the counters... a little for me......
