Guest guest Posted October 28, 2002 Report Share Posted October 28, 2002 Hi. My name is Giselle and I'm here in Edmonton, Canada. I also cannot contribute any recipes at this time. I can tell you though how much I appreciate being part of the group and knowing that I'm not alone. I cannot have wheat, dairy, corn, legumes, and a lot of veggies. I have problems coming up with ideas for supper but your recipes are always there to help. Thanks so much and keep up the great work. erjah1@suomi24 .fi cc: 27/10/2002 RE: Vegan and 10:26 AM Gluten Free Please respond to Vegan-and-Glut en-Free Dear LaDonna (and everyone) !

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2002 Report Share Posted October 29, 2002 Hi! Sorry I haven't really contributed any recipes to the group, but I enjoy all the recipes and info I get from this group. When school's out and I'm less busy, I'm sure I'll have time to post something, in the meantime, I'm really enjoying the recipes. steph --- ilovetocookvegan2 <teacups wrote: > Greetings from your friends at Vegan and Gluten > Free!

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 Hi everyone, I just had a question for you. Is anyone here vegan and gluten free. My naturopath put me on the elimination diet and gluten was the problem. I have been gluten free for about 6 weeks and i have lost about 7kg. I just keep shrinking. I didnt have much weight on me to begin with so im feeling very thin. Im eating big meals and lots of avocado. Some days i find myself skipping meals and i know thats really bad. I have completely lost interest in food, i guess because i have been finding it so hard to get excited about things. At the moment the food is just do depressing. I hate how many food items have wheat in them. If i want to make something like salt and pepper tofu, i have to use wheat free flour and its very expensive. Anyway im just wondering if anyone has had any experiances like this and if you have any hints to get excited about food again. My best friend made me a vegan gluten free cook book which is so great, but im just finding little modivation to cook, esp if its just me at home.

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 I am vegan and have celiac disease. I am also a registered dietitian. I understand your frustration and predicament with finding interest in foods. I want to backtrack though to how you were diagnosed. The only real way to tell if you have celiac is to have blood work and then an endoscopy to look and see if there is truly damage to your intestines. You should be on a regular diet (not gluten free) while having these tests done in order to see the antibodies in your blood. ThHis is not a diet to undertake based on the presence or absence of symptoms alone. Gluten free means all wheat, barley, rye and oats (unless the oats are labeled gluten free) so as you already know that involves a lot of foods. I'm sure you've researched some organizations for celiac disease and if not, there are several out there. They vary in terms of their approach to things such as vinegars made from wheat sources and alcohols and other various items. But they do have a lot of information regarding label reading and dining out. I find that I can manage pretty well when I'm at home but eating out and traveling is a little more difficult. I use a lot of gluten free products which can be pricey but there are plenty out there and more everyday. I also eat a lot of tofu, tempeh and beans. I have found a gluten free bread from Enjoy Life called high fiber loaf that when toasted (must be toasted, personal opinion) is really good.Mary's gone crackers are great and very healthy. Cereals are limited but I found one that I like. There are breakfast bars, packaged Indian and thai foods that are good. Also, corn, rice, quinoa and soy pastas that are good too. Soy sauce is a problem unless it is wheat free which makes Asian food off limits unless I make it myself. Amy's products make a lot of gluten free, vegan entrees and one pizza and they are really very good. I went about it initially by finding a few things that I liked and stocking up on them and then each week, experimenting with some new items. I have been disappointed a lot because some things are just awful but I have had plenty of good things. So, hang in there and don't despair, you have some company. --- On Mon, 10/5/09, angel.nail <angel.nail wrote: angel.nail <angel.nail Vegan and Gluten free Monday, October 5, 2009, 6:42 PM Hi everyone, I just had a question for you.

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 Thank you for the replies everyone. I am going to go and get blood work done. I get a very crampy and gassy and i bloat very quickly after wheat products. I have been feeling better physically except for the weight loss. I have also noticed a dramatic change in my anxiety symptoms too, which has been a nice suprise. Lisanne, have you found that keeping wieght on is a problem? There just seems to be very little fat in a vegan gluten free diet. I was craving sugar like mad when i first went gluten free and i think that was my bodies way of wanting more energy. Iridology saw that my thyroid was not going so well so i need to go to the doctor for that as well, it may be the cause for the weight loss too. Anyway thank you again.

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 Hi Ange, While I am not technically gluten free, I am vegan and avoid wheat (not all gluten) because it seems to make my IBS worse. A few years ago, I purchased a copy of the Food Allergry Survival Guide by Brenda Davis, Vesanto Melina and Jo Stepaniak. It's vegan and most of (if not all) the recipes are gluten free. I like most of the recipes I've tried, especially the quinoa salad and the recipe for scones. When I do need flour and I want to avoid wheat, depending on what I'm trying to make, I use garbanzo bean flour, rice flour, or quinoa flour. I don't get the same results as I do when I use wheat flour, but it's usually pretty good, just different. Good luck with the gluten free life.

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 Hi Ange, I had a similar problem - occassional cramping, regular gas and bloated stomach problems. I had the blood test for coeliac disease, and it was negative. However, whilst awaiting my test results, I cut nearly all wheat products out of my diet (not quite all gluten as I still had rolled oats). The problem was fixed. Since then (a few months ago now) I have found that I can have the occassional muffin or biscuit with no ill effects. I keep off regular bread but have found sourdough OK to have occassionally. I make my own gluten-free bread and pizza bases from a packet-mix, and use gluten-free pasta. I haven't been having too much trouble adjusting at all really - maybe because I haven't had to be too strict, but I am also finding the alternatives palatable. According to Rodney Ford who wrote " Full of it!: the shocking truth about gluten: (the brain-grain connection) " (2006) many more people have gluten intolerances than have coeliac disease, and the intolerance can take many different forms in different people, including affecting mental health. Worth a read if you can track it down. I too have lost a bit of weight, and after a bought of the flu, have been having trouble putting it back on - so I am a rather thin vegan too. I have always been able to eat what ever I want though (since being vegan and not on the pill as I was many years ago in another life) and not put on weight, but another few kilos would be nice! Still, I feel good and that's the main thing. Cheers! Karen -- Bite Global Warming - Live Vegan! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 I recommend the Food Allergy Survival Guide, too, and wanted to let you know - in case you didn't already) that Bob's Red Mill makes a gluten free all-purpose blend that approximates all-purpose white flour pretty closely. You use it the same as you would white wheat flour, though baking usually requires xanthan gum to hold it together. I am also vegan and largely gluten-free (always wheat free). I know it's not easy but take it one day at a time.

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 Unfortunately, I haven't had the problem of keeping weight on especially since I have found that a lot of the gluten free products are high in calorie. Celiac symptoms are all over the map with some people experience wt gain as well as loss, mood swings, irritability and other things already mentioned in other postings. I used to feel like I wanted to crawl out of my skin from being puffy and the discomfort of my clothes. I also now feel like I'm in a brain fog if I accidentally eat something with gluten. I can't focus and am dizzy and off balance. Because I was undiagnosed for what I think was several years and think my pregnancy triggered the presentation of celiac (which is an auto immune disease), I have some advanced osteopenia for my age which was found with a bone scan. So maintaining bone health is a concern for me. I hope you have found some helpful tips and feel like you're getting your footing a little bit more. There are plenty of foods to eat and many more restaurants are catering to gluten free diets. Hopefully you'll find that to be the case where you are as you venture out more into this new arena. --- On Tue, 10/6/09, Angela Nagle <angel.nail wrote: Angela Nagle <angel.nail Re: Vegan and Gluten free Tuesday, October 6, 2009, 5:32 PM Thank you for the replies everyone.

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 My daughter has a wheat allergy and gluten makes my stomache hurt so we are gluten free and vegan. It can be hard but there is a lot out there that tastes great. Get back in touch with your whole grains like rice, quinoa, millet, etc. Depending on where you live there are a lot of brands that are completely allergen free such as Cherrybrook Kitchen baking mixes and Enjoy Life cookies. Use Bragg's amino acids instead of soy sauce, use quinoa flour for baking, thicken sauces with cornstarch or agar, marinate tofu in your favorite salad dressings, and use the web for lots of free recipes. What are some of your favorite foods? , " angel.nail " <angel.nail wrote: > > Hi everyone, > I just had a question for you. Is anyone here vegan and gluten free.
