Unless MFP's calculations are wrong (i havent looked into it ywt) i found that popcorn has a good amount of protein in it - like more than the grass-fed beef i had the same day. It has carbs but is low cal, u can eat a lot, the fiber will help fill you & per the MFP calculations the protein far out-weighs the amount of…

Yes - you have to really watch beef jerkey (or any jerkey) as wheat & soy sauce (most often not GFree) are often in it. The other issue is trying to find a kind that's GF, not going to break the bank for the tiny bit you get, and that's more tender than chewing on a leather belt (not that I've done it - but had plenty of…

I haven't but I like the limited tofu (fried and another way I can't recall as it's been a long time) I've had. Do I just get extra firm, dry it, and then put it on the smoker (I have a Big Green Egg)? I don't get along w/ cucumber, but could do GF Crackers if needed. thanks!

I'm G-Free and Dairy-Free (though I can eat things with Dairy if baked in, or actual chocolate and occasionally do). My diary is open to my friends if you want to add me.

PS - I'd recommend (if it won't goof with your elimination diet requirements set by your doc) to not do GF bread or bread crumbs, but get yourself some GF flours to use. Your onion rings - I'd dip slices in a beaten egg (but you probably can't..) then dredge/dust in a GF flour. I just got some quinoa flour that I'd try…

As for the blood test - I have heard/read it's got up to an 80% FALSE NEGATIVE rate, and have at least 3 live-in-person friends whom meet all other aspects of Celiac's but tested negative. I too tested negative about 2-3 years ago - but this past spring, on my own, did an elimination due to connecting that I didn't feel…

Benefits: Low cal High calcium Removes dairy / immamator agent No potential hormonal interaction like soy You may have other unexpected health benefits (see narrative below) Cons/concerns to watch for: Some brands contain caraganeen (poss carcinogen) as a thickener More expensive than milk Different taste (just not the…

I do them in my overbite oats as well - if you add a tablespoon of the, add 2 T of extra liquid/nut milk. I've heard (but not tried yet) that you can use chia & water as an egg sub in vegan baking (like a "flax egg") where you soak them a bit to get to a gelatinous consistency. My fave is to make pudding (which I do a…

Anyone there? I think I can relate. I was just diagnosed at age 37 (after my 6y/o was diagnosed first) - and OMG! The realizations I'm having in my own life are mind-blowing.

Back - pre-kids when I was lifetime on Weight Watchers - I used to work out great and be pretty strict during the week (never exceeding points) then on the weekends I just relaxed some, and tried to keep up workouts but typically they were more like working in the yard all day. Now with 2 little ones, grad school and an…

I thought I'd be notified if people posted here, but nothing so I forgot about it (until tonight when I'm stuck working a double shift and bored to tears). I'm desperately in need of motivation. I'm very PMS-y tonight (not normally any PMS) and I'm a mom who works FT (and then some this week) and in grad school preparing…

We have a smoker/charcoal grill so we smoke baby bell peppers then slice them open and put about 1/2 a wedge in each pepper instead of cream cheese. YUMMMMMMM Recently I used the garden veggie on deli sliced ham with a dill gherkin to make the "pickle roll-ups" I was craving - that was YUMMY too! I too have made an alfredo…

I think everyone is saying (not to harp on your diet further) but the lack of nutrition going into your body is stressful to the heart. Anorexics often have heart damage due to this very thing. (OK - off the diet thing). I see in your list of tests you have NOT worn a 48-hour heart monitor. I suggest that and do a workout…

How about sharing the recipe here???

Also - I have recently given up wheat and discovered that I love Van's Perfect 10 Crackers (GF kind of course) with a Laughing Cow Garden Veggie Cheese wedge (45c each)... so yummy & sinfully creamy for a snack. I would need to do a full serving of the crackers (10) plus 2 wedges and a large glass of water for it to be a…

I agree with the Thai or Indian. Yum. I try to do Chicken on Sundays (Grilled breasts or BL/SL Thighs) then chop and use them a couple different ways during the week: a - Black beans, brown rice, corn, salsa & chicken - YUM b - brown rice, peas, corn, tiny bit soy sauce & rice vinegar, Siracha & chicken - Yum. c - small…

You don't HAVE to eliminate anything - it's a mind set that you may want to consider. If I really want ice cream or chocolate or a steak - I can have it. I just have to watch my portions and I try to reserve things like that for a treat (once a week maybe - or maybe a little bit of dark chocolate everyday). With your GERD…

I liked Special K - Protein. Yum with some fresh berries and either 1% milk or almond milk (sometimes the A milk made it too sweet for me). I also likes the Fiber One Protein cereal - same thing (berries & either C-milk or A-milk). But alas... I've given up wheat to help my tummy... so now it's a gluten free granola (about…

I have 3 BROOKS underwire bras I LOVE LOVE LOVE. I used to play Rugby and would have to wear 2 bras (one to seperate, and the other to constrict), but this bra (which I got at a local running store, does the job of both. I have heard good things about Moving Comfort, but I love my Brooks! PS - I have had my Brooks bras for…

I work in DSM, and live in a SE 'burb of it. I'm originally from Southern IA... so many a friend told me I may as well be from Missouri. The more MFP Friends the better. :-)

NOT ANY MORE - As of the past 14 days. I used to like Diet Dr Pepper or cherry Coke Zero. I found - when I DID have a Diet soda - I craved more sweets like chocolate! But days I didn't (even before this reaction started) I didn't want other sweets. Why I quit it - I have developed an intolerance for the artificial…

Well thank you for asking and getting the thread back on the original topic - since it was majorly derailed (If you don't like the idea of it but have never actually tried it - I wasn't asking for your opinion). I felt great energy, not jittery like a strong coffee makes me, but alert and ready to take on tasks around the…

I had a blood test to check to see if I had it - very simple. No need for a bowel check ... unless you have had the blood test and it was inconclusive and still having severe symptoms. Best of luck. I'd suggest going paleo or only fruits, veg, and meats for the most part and see what that does.

YOU LOOK YOUNGER and HAPPIER! Congrats & keep up the great work!

Frozen steamed brussel sprouts in some sort of garlic sauce. BLECK!!!!

I just use my mp3 - and load it with faster songs. Some of my faves: Just about anything by KARMIN (look at me now, i told you so, hello, crash your party, etc) I like Toby Mac (anything from Eye on It album) And my newest faves I"m just discovering = Reach Records - Lecrae (just like you), Andy Mineo (AYO), Tedeshii &…

My hubby is getting "Insanity Fast & Furious" (20min DVD) so he can do Insanity (which he loves) on his lunch breaks.
