There is an incredible array of vegan recipe sites and blogs around. And you won't find beef or dairy on any of them! If you are from a meat-heavy home, you might start out with things like bean/lentil chili, bean burritos/tacos, pizza (just order it without cheese), etc. Things that seem like "normal" foods to you. But…

For a family of three, including two runners and a teenage boy, I spend around $150 per week, including other household items purchased at the grocery store as well. We are also all either gluten free or grain free, so that includes some gf bread and bagels for the boys' lunches. I am not in the US and find that our…

There are no special foods that you have to consume as a vegan. Fruits, vegetables, legumes, root veggies, grains, nuts, seeds, etc. are all foods that you can find in any small town grocery store. Vitamin B12 you can find in a fortified soy milk or with the vitamins at your grocer/pharmacy. If you live in the US, there…

It's probably earlier morning runners who are replying most. I'm out at 5:00 a.m., and I'm not getting up any earlier than that to eat before my run. Some trail mix in my pocket for if I get too hungry, and I'm ready to go. On a long run day, I don't really have breakfast at all, just an early lunch/brunch.

After wrecking a number of batches of buckwheat soba by overcooking (carefully following the instructions on the package!) I finally got them right by simply soaking in hot tap water while I cooked the rest of dinner, rather than boiling them, which makes them all stick together in a lump. If the noodles were thicker,…

First of all, check out the grain free board: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/forums/show/8246-grain-free In the recipes thread, you will find my recipe for grain free tortillas. Feel free to look at my diary (you'll have to scroll through to times when I was recording. I just started logging again a couple of days ago, prior…

Agree with the others, bring extra layer(s) for when you are not running. Put it in a pouch, tie around your waist, whatever you need to do.

Since you're off corn too, you might benefit from the Food Allergies board and the Grain Free Board: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/forums/show/161-food-allergies http://www.myfitnesspal.com/forums/show/8246-grain-free

I did not have a serious injury, but because of a congenital deformity I had suffered several minor running injuries, and had to start again from scratch when I started using a lift in one shoe to help even up my leg length difference a bit. It drove me crazy to have to start all over again. First I had to get used to…

I don't get anything at the running or specialty stores, really. Wal-Mart, thrift store, clearance sales. Get non-specialized stuff where it doesn't matter (outerwear particularly - it's not going to chafe if it's not against my skin). I don't buy a lot at once, just a piece here and there, and make it last.

Welcome! Feel free to ask questions and contribute! Hope it helps you to feel great!

I also made crepes today, and Sethandjane pointed out that the recipe was not posted here. If you are able to eat eggs, you can sub any grain free flour for wheat flour in your favourite crepe recipe. The eggs are what holds it all together. However, if you are looking for a recipe that is both grain free and vegan, look…

Made perogies again this week. I started with this recipe: http://www.theppk.com/2011/03/potato-pierogi-with-caramelized-onions/ But instead of the dough in the recipe, I use my tortilla dough recipe above. Works perfectly! They will blow you away! A tip when making perogies: refrigerate both the dough and the filling…

What do you usually eat for supper, lunch, and snacks? I usually have leftovers, or baked potato and chili, or some buckwheat porridge.

I personally am not just gluten free, but grain free. I have problems with other grains, such as corn and rice, as well. So I don't do anything with maltodextrin unless it specifically says "tapioca maltodextrin", and that's not very often, because the next question is "why are you thinking of eating something with…

Well, we each have to figure out what works for us, right? If you find a particular product or ingredient that is causing you problems, then you need to stay away from it, whether it is because it contains undeclared wheat/gluten, or something in the processing, or cross-contamination, or what. There are people/companies…

We were the opposite. Kiddo was always sick, strep every few weeks, until we went gfcf. No strep since going gf four years ago.

Usual baked potato and chili. Sometimes buckwheat porridge. Or leftovers. (Homemade) pancakes from the freezer.

I have a fridge. My usual snacks are buckwheat porridge and potatoes. Not together. Two separate snacks.

The subject of your post was maltodextrin, but you are posting about blue cheese dressing, so I'm a bit confused. Maltodextrin in the US is usually corn or tapioca, the label will have to say "contains wheat" if it is from wheat. I avoid it anyway since I can't have corn either. But isn't blue cheese itself a danger? I…

I do early morning runs as well, and don't generally have anything before heading out. If I am hungry on rising, I'll have a quick half banana, maybe with some pb. I usually have a bit of trail mix in my pocket in case I get too hungry when I'm out or am running for more than two hours.

I love reading blogs and e-mails from people who rejoice in the gluten free life. Most of the groups/blogs that I follow are full of foodies who have a great time exploring new cuisines and inventing and sharing new recipes. Half of them are publishing cookbooks these days. One blog that I currently follow . . . which I…

Food allergies and food intolerances are on a spectrum. You can have a mild allergic reaction (some mouth itching, perhaps) to something that you are allergic to one day, and the next day go into full blown anaphylaxis from the same type of exposure. You can test negative on a skin scratch test, and yet go into anaphylaxis…

Ginger Lemon Girl's recipes are always good!

I haven't seen anyone mention celiac disease yet.

Complete proteins. <sigh> The myth continues.

Right. A grain is a seed from the grass family. Quinoa is a seed from the beet family. So rather than being a "cereal" it is a "pseudocereal". For most people, it doesn't really matter, so they don't care. If you are allergic/intolerant of members of the grass family, it matters!
