    Rice grown in the south where cotton used to be grown is contaminated with arsenic becasue they used to spray an arsenic pesticide on the cotton. It is now in the soil where it is taken up by the roots to become part of the plant. GMO plants are heavily doused with Roundup. The Roundup too is saturating the soil where it is taken up by the roots to become...

    Bacon (along with Dunkin' Donuts coffee) is one of the greatest gifts God has given to mankind.

    Egg salad made with sour cream instead of mayo and bacon instead of celery. Cheesey rice and broccoli. I heat the rice and broccoli, then mix the egg salad into it. Looks funny but tastes good.

    What a great Christmas I had! While my friend cooked a turkey that I COULD eat, I decided to bring a Christmas treat for myself - baked cod. I did some white rice with broccoli and crumbled up bacon in it (yum), and I also made deviled eggs. Instead of mayo and celery I made them with sour cream and bacon. They were really really good. I also brought some...

    That's not really all that unusual. It took three and a half years before I was finally better. I developed intolerances to all sorts of foods for a while - corn, soy, almonds, blueberries, guar gum, and other things. It's only been the past month or two that I have been able to eat just about anything (except gluten of course). Keep a food and symptom...

    McCormick spices are safe for us. And the ONLY valid "cross-reactivity" is for ALLERGIC reactions, not for intolerances. If you're new to the gluten-free diet it is probably that you just haven't healed yet. Sometimes at the beginning we don't do well with spicey foods.

    Tonight I'll be having my usual light supper (after having a huge lunch). It'll be a grilled cheese on Canyon Bakehouse 7-grain. (I traded in two loaves of that horrible Mountain White.) And I can now say that the very BEST grilled cheese sandwiches are made with Udi's multi-grain. I've tried the Schar and it's OK, and although I love the Canyon Bakehouse...

    And here I was going to brag about having wild caught cod again. I love cod, but now you've got me craving lobster!

    COD!! The healthfood store had wild caught Alaskan cod for a good price. I'll be broiling it with butter and bread crumbs. I'll probably have a baked potato and some broccoli with it. And I WILL be sharing with the cat. (She loves cod almost as much as I do.)

    Thanks! I learned patience and self-control while I was so restricted so in the long run it was good for me. And now I just want to celebrate. It'll happen for you too. And when it does you'd better watch your figure! I thought giving up ice cream would make me lose weight but with all the ymmy things I've gotten back I fear I'm eating more now than...

    I usually eat a small breakfast, a big lunch and then a small supper. I cooked that turkey and will be having that for lunch today. And yesterday, one day only, the store had russet potatoes on sale - a five pound bag for FORTY-EIGHT CENTS, limit 2 per customer, so I'll be having a baked potato with my turkey. But for breakfast (and supper later) I have...

    Now that I have my stove working again I am going to make one of my famous bacon egg and cheese sandwiches. Schar bread untoasted, smeared with LOTS of butter. An over easy egg with melted extra sharp white cheddar. Two (unless I splurge and have three) strips of bacon cooked very crisp and crumbled on top of the melted cheese. Then I'll turn the sandwich...

    I just realized I said wine vinegar. I said that because I was thinking about the recipe I got which called for red wine, but since wine really hurts my stomach, I used RICE vinegar. Now that my diet has expanded and I actually get one day off a week, I might be showing up here more often. I guess with a little guidance even the helpless can learn to...

    I hardly ever show up here but I had to tell you folks, the sauerbraten came out great! I cut the elk roast into chunks, about 3X3 inches. Seared it in a little sesame oil. Then I put it in my crock pot with a pint of vegetable broth, about a half cup of wine vinegar, a stick of butter, and two of the small packages of Pamela's ginger snaps. I put the cooker...

    Well, I googled the china study and found more "debunked" articles than "good for you" articles. None were from scientific publications. This article, though not from a scientific publication, does cite info from Harvard and from the University of Connecticut that say eggs do NOT raise serum cholesterol, and that indeed, eggs are good for you. http...
  16. bartfull
    Chicachik, could you show scientific proof that "eggs aren't good for health"?
  17. bartfull
    Hmm...You're SURE you're not getting CC'd from something in your house or at work? No double dipping in the peanut butter or mayo? All your meds and supplements are gluten-free? Separate toaster? No crumbs in the silverware drawer? How about your cookware? Not using the same cast iron or teflon pans you used to cook gluten in? Did you go off dairy at...

    I see you are also questioning the cheese. The best thing you can do is wait a couple of weeks and when you're feeling better, try eating just one of the ingredients by itself. If you get sick you'll know that's it. If not, try another ingredient, etc. As I said above, it could be you've developed an intolerance to soy or corn syrup, or any of the other ingredients...

    Their statement does NOT say they are produced on the same equipment, but in the same facility. There is a big difference. I would think if so many others here eat them with no problem it is something else that made you sick. I looked up the ingredients in the rice mix and although there is no gluten, there is soy and corn syrup solids. Maybe those are what...
  20. bartfull
    Yes, but after you've been away from those things for a few months you might get them back. Corn intolerance is like gluten intolerance in that everybody is different. Maybe give it a few more months and then try. The multi-vitamin thing is going to be the problem though. Not because of the corn starch so much as the blasted ascorbic acid in the vitamin...

    When I first became intolerant to corn I avoided it completely. But I now eat corn starch and maltodextrin because neither has the corn protein in them. Even baking powder has corn starch in it. I eat it with no problems. I can't drink out of those clear plastic bottles that water and soda come in though, because some of them are now made with corn protein...
  22. bartfull
    Maltodextrin is safe because the protein (the part we react to) has been processed out of it. But the main problem with vitamins is that almost ALL vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is derived from corn. They could get it from citrus fruit but it would be more expensive so they usually use corn. So, do you live near a Shopko? They carry a line called "Shopko...

    If you read the articles again you will see that the first article says wheat has been PROPOSED as a fining agent. After running their test they decided it would not be a GOOD proposal. The second article says wheat is very rarely used anymore and that wines from those small percentage of wineries who still use it, the wine tests to less than 10 PPM and...
  24. bartfull
    If you look up "fining wine", a google search will lead you to many websites from Wiki to wine magazines to wine makers who list potentiial fining agents. Not a single one of them mentions wheat.

    W8in, I found the info on one of the corn allergen sites, so then I wrote to Uncle Ben's. Love your new avatar by the way.
