Two words: Wheat gluten'd.

I was awake and "starving" around midnight last night- so I drank all I could and ate a little. I know it is the spaghetti sauce my sister gave me, I don't know why I didn't realise there may be hidden gluten in it. Or, she didn't clean her pasta pot well enough.

I got up this morning and moved around, just some yoga postures. It is a step in the right direction. And, now I feel a whole lot better!

Oh Nooooo... I learned this a long time ago, tomato sauce (many of them) are thickened with flour. When I make mine I use corn meal. I think Clasico (store bought is okay) but you never know.

Yoga is awesome for helping your intestinal track feel better isn't it... I think because of all the core work.

Thanks, I'll let my sisterknow about the sauces. I have never added anything to thicken them really. But my Mom would let spaghetti sauce simmer on the stove all day! Even when I make "quick" sauces I don't add anything to thicken them, strange. So if the flour not listed on the ingredients?

Hi Boots! Yes I am feeling better, I was unnaturally hungry from the celiac yesterday but otherwise okay.


Cutting out the black tea has been good for me, but I've been drinking coffee since getting up and about for me has been like raising the dead. :-( I have been eating on plan.

Thursday night I ate my billiant sister's recipe. She saw a recipe for chicken and made it vegetarian. It is now one of her specialties, which I am not allowed to share the recipe for :)

I was proud fo myself yesterday I had some hunger pangs and in my brilliance I just ate some fruit. Yay for opting for on-plan foods!

This morning I got up again and did some gentle yoga. I'm on a roll! 8)

Someone handed me vegan icecream today, and I ate it. Why do I keep doing these things to myself that I know are wrong? I'll no longer seek VAD food, but if it end sup in my hands. Ugh.

Just ealrier today I was thinking of how well my IBS is healing compared to 8 months ago, I do not want to mess it up now. I repeat to myself, the rest of that ice crema will become freezer-burnt in the fridge if no one else eats it. 8)

I am just having a messed-up day, messed-up week is more like it. I am VERY thirsty. I drank so much, and I'm still thirsty. My chest is also super-congested. :-(

HI Loves KAle,

IT took me 4 weeks of no caffeine to get rid of the need for caffeine in the morning... all of a sudden you will be up and at work and realize that you feel great , wide a wake and alert and you don't feel the need for some coffee.

Your IBS will improve greatly with out the caffeine.


Also before you abandon the vegan ice cream... maybe read the ingredients... that is one of those treats you could allow your self on occasion assuming it is just soy milk, flavoring and sugar.


AS to the thirst and congestion well make a big old pot of veggie soup heavy on the onions... your body will thank you, really it will.
THe thirst is your bodys way of getting plenty of fluids to fight off the cold.

Regarding the sauces... I listen to my tummy now.... I know I can eat the classico no trouble some of the others is a different thing..
IF it was her own home made sauce maybe it got cross contaminated some how.

anyway. hope you are feeling much better soon.

B: Hashbrowns
L: Mashed taters
D: Braised beans w/ bread
S: Crackers and smoothie
D: Lots of tea...so thirsty...

Thanks for the info Kitty, I should cut out caffeine. I am feeling better. Last night I ate a ton of potatoes and drank lots of water, I think that is the key for treating a celiac attack.

I made bread tonight, and I have good news. All of those empty-calorie startch flours that GF bread calls for really bothers me...so I replaced some with mashed taters (mashed with only hot wter), and it was a success! I will make more attempts to cut back the starch flours even more, hopefully cut it all the way back and see what happens! 8) Meanwhile, I posted a picture on FlickR.

You are quite the chef! I love your food pics. How did the bread taste? Could you taste the potatoes in it?

Thank you Adrienne! The bread tasted good, and I could not taste the potatoes but I could definitely taste the starch, which means I can probably cut way back on the starch flours! It wasn't bad tasting, you just know that it was a little too starchy. I find my tastebuds are stronger after eating McD.

Yes, LK, I noticed that my taste buds seem stronger with this WOE too. I hope you are feeling better from the gluten. It's amazing what they put gluten in these days, even shampoo!! :\

For me I find the Gluten free flowers to be very dry... or I guess starchy.

the one I do have to be careful of oddly enough is teh sorgham flour.

I don't eat much of these now so It is okay but it is not my favorite flour.

And yeah Gluten is in so many things.

Another flu. Why me?! It is not affecting me nearly as badly as it is affecting my sister, so I think my diet is helping.

I haven't been eating much, mostly easily digestible grains, no off-plan things. I've also cut back on sugar consumption (so sugary teas today!)

Today was a good on-plan day. We did get our CSA veggies and WOW!!! LOTS of black kale, and salad mixes with black kale in it...who knew that was all it would take to get me to eat salad? :D

B: Toast w/ roasted garlic and zataar
L: Pasta w/ garlic and mushrooms
D: Salad with kale and tomatoes, and my herb-vinegar
D: Coffee w/ sugar and almond breeze...ONLY so I could actually stay alert at school, since with this cold I am not alert at all. Some green tea, and water.

Boots has me thinking, and I think I will cut back on my current salt/sugar consumption. I can't see me cutting it out but I can cut back. I am already cutting back on the sugar, but I can understand that not adding butloads of salt to things I cook makes sense, and only add a bit on top like Jeff says. Makes sense to me!
