have you been checked for celiac disease? B12 levels?

My personal preference would be for juicing before Shakeology, but I have friends who swear by Shakeology. They are too full of allergens for me to even consider them. If you are juicing, you know what you are getting, and that it is balanced. I have found juicing to improve my health at times when my energy or immunity…

Veggie *broth*. What's with my fingers today?

Echoing others here, I know, but - how long have you been gluten free? - what kind of symptoms are you having? - check the ingredients on your supplements - were you taking fish oil before you went gluten free? do you feel worse after you take it? - there may be something else that is also bothering you - corn and other…

Yeah, I haven't found a safe veggie broth yet either. There's just one that I can use in a pinch, but it's not great for me and my allergic friend can't have it, so I generally don't. Luckily veggie brother is easy to make, or else you can use water and punch it up by adding celery, onion, and salt to the recipe.

These ones are vegan: 1/2 cup buckwheat, freshly finely ground OR buckwheat flour 1 - 2 tblsp potato starch or arrowroot pinch sea salt 1/2 tsp bi-carb / baking soda 1/4 tsp cream of tarter 1/2 tsp vinegar (apple cider vinegar is best) or lemon juice 1 tsp or splash of olive oil water I have subbed applesauce and made them…

I took a quinoa salad, egg salad for my boys, coleslaw, and split pea soup. And peanut butter balls for dessert. Other things that were there that I could eat were a fruit salad, a green salad with strawberries, raspberries, and cashews, oranges, and black bean brownies.

Have you considered some of the traditionally wheat-free ethnic breads? Cornbread, tortillas, dosas, socca, injera, etc. There are a number of bloggers on the quest for a good, whole grain bread: http://glutenfreegoddess.blogspot.ca/2011/05/whole-grain-gluten-free-bread_17.html

Celiac disease is a malabsorption disorder. So Vitamin D, B12, iron, etc. can all be problematic. Combine that with a northern climate, and it can be hard to get enough Vitamin D.

I rarely buy anywhere other than at my grocery story. My son and hubby do commercial gluten-free products like bread or bagels, but I too just try to eat whole foods that are gluten free. Quinoa, potatoes, buckwheat, fruits, veggies, nuts, seeds, beans & other legumes. I did gain weight when I went gluten free. I blame a…

Good ideas, I'm going to start on some of them tonight. Any last minute entries? Happy Easter all!

Are you currently using a zero drop/minimalist shoes? If not, be sure to transition into them slowly. Very slowly. More slowly than you think you should.

I am grain-free and vegan.

All animal products, all grains, almonds, walnuts, pineapple, dates, and a few other foods that I have lower-grade reactions too, that I can eat small amounts of occasionally, as long as I am not reacting to anything else. Most of my diet would be fine for you, other than soy, which I only use (tofu or soy sauce) a couple…

I was mostly tired when I went off of gluten. Like sleeping 12 hours a day tired. For about 2 weeks. Lacey - Your posts are quite hard to read with caps lock on. And on the internet it is perceived as yelling. However, sometimes I know people with vision problems use all caps in order to be able to see their own posts…

What do you like to eat? What foods do you eat that are already naturally gluten free? Remember that whole foods - fruits, veggies, nuts, seeds, beans, etc. - in their natural state do not have any gluten. It is only once they are processed that gluten is added in. There are lots of things that you can eat. But what are…

Were you aware that rapid weight loss can cause gallstones?

My own recipe: Easy Homemade Flour Tortillas 2 teaspoons Salt 2 cups buckwheat flour 2 cups tapioca starch 2 tsp xanthan gum water Preparation Whisk flours together. Process in mixer, adding water slowly until mixture *starts* to form a ball. Leave it mixing for several minutes, and only add more water, a bit at a time, if…

Millet (first ingredient) is out for me. But they look good.

My husband and son use corn tortillas. I can't do corn, I make a buckwheat/tapioca blend.

LOL. Yes, add water until it is a thick batter, similar to drop biscuit consistency. I think I might have put xanthan gum in there too, 1 tsp.

Pan Bread 1/2 cup buckwheat flour 1/2 cup tapioca flour 1 tsp baking powder Heat your oven to 400F with cast-iron pan inside. Mix up the batter. Spread into the cast-iron pan and put back in the oven. Flip over with a spatula when it is mostly baked (about 10 minutes?) and bake until done. Cut into 6 or 8 triangles and…

Well, why don't we each post some of the things that we have eaten/are planning to eat this week? dinners/leftovers for lunch: - roasted veggies - roasted tofu with quinoa - veg chili/taco salad - baked potato with mushroom alfredo sauce - green salad - coleslaw - cabbage vegetable soup with buckwheat pan-bread - crepes…

I haven't been bit, but I've definitely been threatened. Last week a man eventually took his rottweiler back to the car because it wouldn't leave me alone and let me run by. I don't know if pooch got grounded or if he was let out again once I was gone. The one that scared me the most was a Burnese Mountain Dog. BIIIIIG…

You can do it! Put your training schedule on your calendar, so that you can see where there are events that might interfere with your runs and adjust your schedule accordingly. I was startled when I was reading my training program and there was a heading for "juggling", but it was talking about juggling your schedule, not…

I went with the HH novice 2 last time, and HH intermediate this time. I just started the training program this week, modified the 12 week program to a 15 week program and extended the length of the long runs. When I did HH novice 2, I ran M-W-F-Sa, so I didn't run three days in a row, only two. I did cross-training T-Th,…

I'm vegan, grain free, multiple allergies. I do eat soy, but usually only in the form of tofu/tempeh, the majority of my meals are soy-free. Happy to answer any questions you might have!

It is possible to have a restricted diet and still be happy and satisfied with it. I love to eat, and enjoy coming up with new things that I can eat within my restrictions. I don't have any trouble meeting my calorie requirements with lots of delicious food!

The places that I have been asked variations on "is this an allergy?" then the server was trying to get a feel for how sensitive I was. Is cross-contamination a problem? Airborne? Are we talking anaphylaxis? Vomiting? Rash? If you are willing to give more information on your needs, the server is better able to communicate…
