I'm SO happy for you you're finally finding some relief. <br />Love that you're adjusting to semi-retirement. :-)<br />I am also trying to cut out the gluten but have not been as strict as I should. I'm doing it because my arthritis is getting worse, and I also need to lose a LOT of weight. I've tried Turmeric but it upsets my stomach. Heck, that meal you made looks awesome but those peppers and onions would upset my tummy. :-(<br />The rugs are gorgeous and so colorful! <br />I hope the healing continues and the gluten free helps. Oh, that person that mentioned the Barilla pasta - they have gluten free and it's actually GOOD! We had some, and even my Italian hubby loved it. <br />Take care and continue healing.<br />MarthaMarthaVAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03936514662127166756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818397854598010989.post-54738190894799667922015-06-20T11:02:13.693-04:002015-06-20T11:02:13.693-04:00Hi Hillary...

I've found that Barilla makes a wonderful pasta.. the other brands are a bit too grainy tasting. Also, Mission now has a pretty good gluten free flour tortilla. Most things I make from scratch... I buy massive quantities of Bob's Red Mill baking mix.. it gives you a guide for how much xantham gum to add, so all you have to do is find your old recipes, substitute the flour with the baking mix and add the xantham gum. This way I can use my old recipes and everything turns out great!<br />Good luck... and that burrito bowl looks fantastic!Devonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10419245987951986527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818397854598010989.post-25226070673307961422015-06-19T13:07:34.540-04:002015-06-19T13:07:34.540-04:00I have to eat gluten free, my body doesn't lik...I have to eat gluten free, my body doesn't like it. It is a bit of a challenge, bread is the hardest to give up, but I find substitutes. There is gluten is so many things. I eat tuna salad with corn chips (sort of a take on chip and dip). hummus with chips. Aldi's sells great gf pretzels. peanut butter and jelly on pretzels is good. yogurt with grapes and granola (check carefully, a lot of them have wheat). Beans and rice. curry. baked potato with the works. There are lots of food that are naturally gluten free. It is a challenge, and if it helps, it's worth the trouble.JCMurrayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09256923304969187581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818397854598010989.post-36870081399290616222015-06-17T08:07:27.578-04:002015-06-17T08:07:27.578-04:00I love the colors too.I love the colors too.thotladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06877043721001181462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818397854598010989.post-40878779462027772402015-06-16T09:55:18.618-04:002015-06-16T09:55:18.618-04:00i think that semi retirement = semi less stress = ...i think that semi retirement = semi less stress = 50% less headaches ... and i suspect that the tummy issues (aside from the good doctor's thinking) will calm itself as you relax into your new life ... just sayin'Darylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08241795455748298624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818397854598010989.post-8923623506475624642015-06-15T17:29:18.393-04:002015-06-15T17:29:18.393-04:00My daughter had gluten issues, not celiac disease ...My daughter had gluten issues, not celiac disease but serious issues with gluten, and found that like many other people she can eat sourdough bread that she makes herself if it is allowed to raise 8-10 hours - this changes the gluten so she can tolerate it. I can't imagine trying to live without wheat. I am thankful you have found relief for your headaches. I admire your courage.

You cut out the gluten.. and stick with it!... and you will feel atleast 50 percent better than you do now. On several fronts. It's amazing. And I am not a celiac. even my blood pressure drops when I do not consume gluten. The trick is to -not- eat it. it's everywhere. But you've got a good start. <br /><br />Karen thisoldhouse2.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03302171590212119499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818397854598010989.post-74016273827359531582015-06-15T16:05:56.467-04:002015-06-15T16:05:56.467-04:00That is great news about the head ache!

With your past history, you will be crossing fingers and hoping it's long term. <br /><br /> I don't do gluten free but have seen nothing but great results with friends and family so you are on a winner there.<br /><br />Re: arthritis. I've joined a facebook group called Tumeric Users Group and have been amazed at the results they get for many things. Arthritis sufferers being helped a lot. Suits man and beast too. Roy would be more than frisky! Hope this helps and it's worth trying. Google Golden Paste for the recipe. By the way, I love your colours on that rug and pretty good tight weaving there too.<br /><br />Take and keep on keeping well.xxLydia La Lahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11175566681652761270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818397854598010989.post-61895876502790749192015-06-15T13:34:14.680-04:002015-06-15T13:34:14.680-04:00I started eating differently this week also.

Time to get this body healthy again like it was just a few years ago. Guess I just got lazy about eating right. Good luck with your gluten free! Hope it makes things a bit better for you...<br />Pepper Medleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08110649461220452249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818397854598010989.post-63739765361886004042015-06-15T13:28:48.061-04:002015-06-15T13:28:48.061-04:00glad you are feeling better, glad you are trying n...glad you are feeling better, glad you are trying new things to feel even better and LOVE the runner! :)Carol from MNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17194303256375884441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818397854598010989.post-51197566016697609782015-06-15T11:51:52.876-04:002015-06-15T11:51:52.876-04:00Hey Hillary, have you tried tart cherry juice for ...Hey Hillary, have you tried tart cherry juice for the arthritis pain? My brother has bad knees, especially in a MN winter, <br />but he has seen vast improvements with pain when he began drinking that. Love the burrito, I eat a lot of rice and <br />veggies too, just in an effort to reduce the inflammation a normal diet incurs. Love the movie Forks Over Knives. These<br />docs got it right, methinks.

Heck the roof isn't falling in and the doors are still on their hinges - good to go as they say around here. ;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818397854598010989.post-42935538667629107662015-06-15T07:52:54.970-04:002015-06-15T07:52:54.970-04:00I've not gone gluten free, but I have started ...I've not gone gluten free, but I have started the anti-inflamitory diet which has very little and it seems to be helping.

I hope it continues. I know people on gluten-free diets and they seem to manage fine. I guess like anything it takes time to get used to it but that burrito got my attention. You'll probably lose weight as everyone I know on these diets do. Now as far as that barn goes, have you thought of bringing it home? :)<br />Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06817710263282488135noreply@blogger.com
