Apparently I have wheat intolerance

[Pike]

I've been plagued with both eczema and bad acid reflux for years and I have just now made the connection that it's because of wheat products. Yep. These two issues go away entirely when I go a couple days without it and then come roaring back when I start eating it again.

I'm not sure if it's the celiac disease thing or just general wheat intolerance, but either way, give me fun stuff to eat now that I have to go sans-wheat. (I should note that eating it in moderation seems to be okay, but more than one meal of it a day seems to be what kills me.)

I'll be making some crustless pizza/a guide for it for the EOFF cookbook tomorrow so I'll teach you how to do that.

You could also try buying a paleo cookbook.

My mom has Celiac's, so I'll ask her for some quick and easy recipes.

[Pike]

My mom and two of my sisters have it as well and it looks like the NO FUN ALLOWED disease

That's why I'm kind of bummed about it but oh well

[Slothy]

Honestly, one thing I've learned from cutting wheat out of my diet in the past is that I don't even really like it. It's more of a vehicle for delivering the foods that don't suck.

[Pike]

I think my main concern is "BUT I LOVE ORDERING PIZZA" but I guess I'll just keep it a sort of special occasion thing like I do now. Also I'm interested in this crustless pizza thing as well!

[Slothy]

It is the most delicious thing ever conceived. A bit pricey since Parmesan ain't exactly cheap, but well worth it once a week or so. Like I said, I'll throw together a guide for it tomorrow. It's tough to explain without pictures since there's no real recipe or anything, and no set time for when it's done. You kind of have to be able to see it and feel it.

You could also try buying a paleo cookbook.

My mom only eats paleo and she smurfing loves it. She's also never looked better in her entire life and doesn't work out very often.

[Slothy]

Paleo will do that to you.

Are we talking wheat or gluten? Because wheat has gluten, but gluten is in so many things that aren't "wheat" items.

And yeah, Pike. It really is a no-fun allowed diet. Unfortunately quiet a few people have developed/discovered they had Celiac's in the last 5 years. When my mom first discovered it, there wasn't nearly as much gluten free food as there is today. We ate some funky trout. Luckily a ton of name brand stuff is gluten free these days, and you can find a lot of cake stuff and just all sorts of random things gluten free. There's gluten free pizza too!

[Pike]

I have no idea if it's wheat or just gluten. All I know is the less bread I eat, the better!

[Jinx]

Okay. Well, here's an example so I'm not being so confusing:

Say you're trying to eat gluten-free. You go to the store to buy meat and veggies only. You pick up some deli meat...but hey, it has gluten in it. It's not a "wheat" item, per say. And you wouldn't assume that there was gluten in it, but there is.

Eating gluten-free isn't that bad taste-wise, but when you're first starting out it's so time consuming finding out what has gluten in it.

I mean, shampoo and makeup, for Christ's sake?

[Pike]

Yeah, seeing as half of my family has got it I have a lot of experience with the whole reading the labels and gluten in unexpected places thing. I'm not paying attention to that stuff myself because I can't be arsed. Just cutting back my bread intake is working wonders so hopefully it's nothing much more complicated than that!

[Jinx]

Well, I'm glad that's working for you so far! But, if you continue to do it, just be careful. If you do have a gluten sensitivity, it'll probably just get worse the more you cut wheat/gluten out of your diet.

I'm glad you're aware of what you *might* have to do if you need to go gluten-free.

All this talk about gluten has reminded me that I haven't actually included a gluten free sticker in the cookbook. How did I miss that out?

Any additions to the cookbook guys would be much appreciated in this field!
