Many good suggestions for a general purpose mix down below. However you may want to check if you react to oats or not (it doesnt have gluten, but some people also react to oats). merrua Tue, 18 Jun 2013 10:18:16 GMT http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/886305#8143365 http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/905053#8143361 Interesting stuff. Thanks for posting! jvanderh Tue, 18 Jun 2013 09:48:08 GMT http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/905053#8143361 http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/905194#8143360 Corn products (like Trader Joe's corn pasta or corn tortillas), rice, and potatoes :-) A lot of times people buy gluten free substitutes, trying to be accommodating, but it usually cheaper and tastier just to do naturally gluten free stuff. A nice risotto, a stir fry over rice or rice noodles, hearty nachos, chana masala, curry, eggs and hashbrowns. jvanderh Tue, 18 Jun 2013 09:47:36 GMT http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/905194#8143360 http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/904478#8143197 OK, finally diving in here. We do "lower carb" rather than low, low carb. I'm good with that. Breakfast: two organic pork sausage patties and 2 1/2 eggs scrambled in butter (we do 5 eggs split between the two of us). I was pretty full from the hearty breakfast, and stress at work further dulled my hunger, so I just snacked on some Brie cheese and a little bit of turkey breast deli meat that was around the office. I had a couple small pieces of cantaloupe with prosciutto, too. Coffee and tea. For dinner, I dredged chicken breast cutlets in a little bit of seasoned tapioca flour (*trying* to avoid gluten again) and browned them in butter and olive oil. DH made a lemony salad dressing, with which we dressed a big heap of arugula. Also roasted some cherry tomatoes that needed using with olive oil and Italian herbs until golden. Spooned the tomatoes over the chicken, topped with the salad, then a hearty grating of Parm. cheese. Dessert was a bit of a cheat: rhubarb and strawberry compote (homemade, with sugar) with whole fat cottage cheese. Not too sweet---just right.

Metformin never lowered anything by my fasting, a little. And made me very very ill. Did nothing for post meal glucose, or very little.

But at setting 3, the egg won't explode and you get what resembles a poached egg. Also, try to put the egg in roughly the same position every time, that is near the center or near the rim. And use the same vessel every time too. Every micro is different. sueatmo Mon, 10 Jun 2013 22:55:06 GMT http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/904694#8127814 http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/894335#8125923 Only highly refined & processed peanut oil is considered safe for *most* peanut-allergic individuals. Peanut oil that is cold pressed, expeller pressed or extruded still contains allergenic protein fractions and will likely cause a reaction.

Rice, rice noodles, potatoes, and stuff with corn tortillas would be high on my list. The package directions on rice noodles seem to be almost useless- some seem to take half as long as they say, others take three times as long- so if you can pick some up from a store near her and teach her how to cook them, I think that would be a help. Rice, I like the Royal stuff in the burlap sack- a lot of brands just don't seem to cook properly on the stovetop, and teaching her the absorption method rather than boiling and draining would be good. And baked or nuked potatoes always cover a multitude of sins :-) jvanderh Thu, 30 May 2013 23:01:27 GMT http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/902575#8106544 http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/276678#8106455 I did that diet once. Ate anything that was red scubadoo97 Thu, 30 May 2013 22:06:14 GMT http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/276678#8106455 http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/903232#8104947 I was drying herbs and making a few flavored salts while cooking dinner tonight. I used the oven drying setting on 150 for an hour to dry herbs from pots outside. They turned out really well! One was made by drying celery leaves and mixing with kosher salt (for homemade celery salt). Really tasty! i put a few springs of thyme in there too.The other one was using dried oregano, mint and lemon peel and kosher salt. A bit of a Greek salt :) I also whizzed up some preserved lemon puree from the book Mourad New Moroccan (BTW a great book if you like Moroccan food). The "slurry" makes adding preserved lemon to dishes so much easier. Whizz up the preserved lemon peel with water until smooth, then add a bit of olive oil, whizz until really smooth. It keeps months in the fridge and you can add it to dishes straight away for huge flavor. I highly recommend trying this. sedimental Thu, 30 May 2013 04:25:29 GMT http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/903232#8104947 http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/903333#8101298 Check out the low carb discussions. I think most of the benefits of the SCD come from carb restriction, from what I recall of it, and from quite a few anecdotal reports I recall. I know from a long time participating on low carb discussions for the past 15 years that IBS often goes away overnight with very low carb dieting, along with GERD and asthma, from hundreds of anecdotes. mcf Tue, 28 May 2013 18:03:25 GMT http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/903333#8101298 http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/903184#8096119 http://www.doctoroz.com/episode/are-you-addicted-wheat?video=15895 I'm adding the video from the show so your question makes a bit more sense. It's a very interesting perspective!

I do, however, miss those big warm pretzels (the salted ones) that I used to slather with mustard as a kid and gobble up. YUM. I also really, really miss onion rings...the kind that are light and stringy and almost falling apart. And, although I didn't eat them that often, I also wish I could get fried clams at least once a year in the summer. Also, as someone who eats mostly vegetarian, I used to rely on Morningstar products for quick meals, and I do miss their burgers! I have since learned to make my own good ones, but I have yet to learn how to reproduce their veggie bacon. pickledtink Thu, 23 May 2013 02:24:23 GMT http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/894662#8091335 http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/865720#8089087 Christina, cooking from scratch is easier than you can possibly imagine. I cook like mad and have never had MSG in the house so using it is not a big deal. You can bake a whole chicken or pieces of chicken, for instance, with nothing but salt. Here is a simple Latino recipe that is very flavorful, Picadillo: Brown a pound of ground beef in a little olive oil with a chopped onion and a chopped green pepper. Add a handful of raisins, an 8-oz can of tomato sauce and two cans of water, salt to taste, a sprinkle of garlic powder if you like it, and 1-2 tsp cumin. Cover and simmer a few minutes. Eat this with rice. The sweetness of the raisins is important as it contrasts with the other more savory flavors. You won't miss the MSG. Tell us the kind of things you like and maybe we can suggest something.
