Guest guest Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Unfortunately, everyone I know can eat just about anything and not suffer. So, I am always surrounded by the very foods I cannot eat. But, I do think that continuing to study and research these foods and their negative effects, as well as continuing to find good, simple safe recipes that are flavorsome enough to get me through some of my cravings would help. Sugar, wheat and dairy are so addictive! I've had no problem giving up soy....caffeine isn't a problem either. But sugar is a huge problem, as is wheat and dairy. Dairy alone or wheat alone are not so bad, I can really do without them. BUT, when I crave something sweet, dairy and wheat are usually involved. For instance, I had bubble tea the other day (has sugar and milk), or if I crave a cookie, they have wheat and dairy and sugar. I even have a dairy free gluten free bakery here in Seattle, and yet, I'll still grab something more convenient and then suffer the consequences. The cravings are really a problem when I am PMS-ing. The rest of the time, I can resist for the most part. So I just need to learn how to get through that week. I know alot of it is hormonal, so I am working on that aspect with my naturopath. But in the meantime, it certainly is hard to resist some things. I have been struggling with these dietary issues for just under a year and I hope I can come to terms with it this year and really get into a consistent healthy routine. I feel so much better when I don't eat those foods, you would think that would be motivating enough?? I imagine if I had a family or friends who were in the same situation, it would be easier, but as I said, everyone I know eats everything and anything.....so it is really hard. I often have to cook two meals when I cook for the people close to me, a normal meal for them, and something slightly different for me (for instance, pasta for them, polenta for me) - although, I have discovered some amazing vegetable based dishes and soups that everyone enjoys. In fact, below is a great Moroccan Stew Recipe. Thanks for the encouragement! Sharon *MOROCCAN STEW* 1/3 cup olive oil 3 cups coarsely chopped onion 2 garlic cloves, minced 1 tsp ground cumin 1 tsp turmeric ½ tsp cinnamon ¼ to 1 tsp cayenne ½ teaspoon paprika 1 cup sliced carrots 4 cups cubed butternut squash 3 cups cubed eggplant 1 green pepper, sliced in strips 4 cups sliced zucchini 2 large tomatoes, chopped 1 ½ cups cooked garbanzo beans Pinch of saffron ¾ cup dried currants ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley In large pot, heat olive oil and sauté the onions for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the garlic and spices, stirring continuously. Add the vegetables in the order given above, so that the starchier vegetables will cook the longest. Sauté after the addition of each vegetable until its color deepens. Stir in the garbanzo beans, the saffron and the currants. There should be some liquid at the bottom of the pot from cooking the vegetables. However, if the stew is dry, add ½ cup of tomato juice, liquid from the garbanzo beans or water. Cover the stew and simmer on low heat until all the vegetables are tender. ** I recommend serving this dish with basmati rice and marinated lamb (for meat eaters) or maybe tofu.

What types of things will your family not eat that makes you prepare a second meal? As to pasta, it is hard to find a good GF pasta. They all tend to stick together and become gummy.

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Well, I don't have a family....I am a single gal. But when I cook for my friends, I typically try to make something a little more exciting for them - because my restrictions are so well, restrictive. Although, I have found some great, tasty recipes that suit me and my friends, but sometimes I want to venture out of the dairy free, soy free, gluten free world to make something for them. I am definitely having a hard time learning to bake dairy and gluten free.....things don't come out tasting very good. But I will keep experimenting! And you are right, it is hard to find good gf pasta, I don't mind rice pasta, but there is a distinct difference and most people prefer regular pasta, and I don't blame them.

Get Tinkyada with the added bran. Make sure you use LOTS of water (get a bigger pot), don't overcook, drain and then rinse in cold water. I never have problems with sticking and it's good the next day or in a cold pasta salad as well as hot that night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 If they stick together it sounds like you are trying to cook them like wheat pasta. Be sure to read package instructions for cooking methods and to watch them until you get used to the different cooking time and temps needed. Some rice noodles need only to be soaked in boiling water to be ready to use. If you like al dente pasta, you have to be very careful about not over boiling rice and corn especially.

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 I printed your stew recipe to try--loooks yummy! I have had a sweet tooth all my life and have just recently tamed it. What helped, and what has helped with my other food addictions, was to have a good substitute at hand. I used to keep chocolates in my my desk drawer-- now it's raisins, nuts, and boomi bars (awesome gf snack bars made of dried fruit, nut, and grain). I get some carob honey peanut cubes and almond butter-based, rice syrup sweetenened " rice krispie bars " from my natural foods store. Fresh gooey dates are great. Silk soy yogurts. A frozen gf waffle with fruit spread, agave, or pure maple syrup. Give yourself something sweet when you desperately crave it, but make it a better sweet than what you'd pick up at a convenience store, and keep your eyes on the prize of being free from addiction. While making the transition off sugar I slipped at times, but then I just told myself, " It's o.k.--begin again. " After awhile, fresh fruit took on a whole new character. Suddenly it was super sweet and completely satsifying! This week I attended a birthday party and ate a clementine while everybody else had cake. Didn't miss the cake a bit. In fact, it looked repulsive in a way. I thoroughly enjoyed my fruit. A glass of fruit juice is now very, very sweet to me. Coffee was hard for me to give up but it was causing stomach problems. Switching to black tea in the morning was not too difficult to do. With dairy, using the soy substitutes has been helpful. I especially like the tofutti cream cheese substitute on my gf waffle in the morning (with fruit spread on top). Dramatically changing our diets is very difficult work, which is why many people do not even attempt it. Even though we may struggle to achieve our goals, at least we're trying! We can give ourselves a pat on the back for that.

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 Hi Laurie, Well, I think I am addicted to sugar in a sense, so I am trying to get a handle on that before the next wave of cravings. But I am definitely going to keep some gf/df snacks on hand for when the cravings hit. Sugar is a powerful thing!! Any tips of beating these addictions? I think I might need to do a cleanse soon. That is what has worked for me in the past. Thanks for checking in!!!
