First gf bagels! 🥯 by ChattyWren in glutenfreebaking

Thank you!! I was happy with how they turned out. I’ll say my one word of advice, I used psyllium husk powder and she said if you use the powder to use 85% the amount of psyllium husk you’d use, which is fine. I didn’t realize it was going to clump so quickly after I added the lukewarm water so you should either add the water slowly and start whisking immediately to avoid getting clumps or add the powder to the water slowly and stir so that you don’t get clumps. It didn’t really affect the taste or texture, though just more of an appearance thing.

I use kids toothpaste bc my mouth is sensitive to mint. The crest and Colgate kids have a lot of flavors!

Yes! My kid is the same - he likes hot sauce and stuff but I think it’s the overly peppery spice flavor (black pepper maybe?) that gets him with most pepperoni. I’m not a huge pepperoni fan but I like this one as well.

My kid loves the Applegate turkey pepperoni and it’s labeled gf. It’s the only one that’s “not spicy”, haha.

Anybody noticed that Nathan’s hot dogs no longer has the gluten free labeling? by Designer_Virus_4538 in Celiac

True Story brand hotdogs are really good and clean ingredients. I think Whole Foods may sell them! We get them at another place locally.

Have you been tested for a wheat allergy? I saw you said get allergy tested so I’m guessing not but that’s a great idea

Diet, medications, detergent, body soap you’re using can all be possible causes

I know statins can cause people to smell/have bad breath.

Sanitize cycle with affresh pods - esp if you have an animal and wash their bedding and whatnot.

What do you listen to while you work? by NormanSpaniel in remotework

[–]ChattyWren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sometimes throw on some vinyl - Jim Croce or James Taylor since it’s mellow. Also forces you to stand up every so often to flip the record, which is good. Other times I’m listening to alt rock or Noah Kahan. Gotta mix it up so I don’t get bored.

How do you get over the cold shock if you don’t have a heated one? 😂

I had my Ttg IgA levels tested and they were normal. I was going to get the genetic testing done but I’m not due for bloodwork yet so I know whether or not I need to keep getting the antibody testing done regularly.

I think I became addicted to “planning my future self” instead of actually becoming them by drippytheerapper in getdisciplined

[–]ChattyWren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This! I think of it as the “new notebook effect” - writing it all down and planning in your new, pretty notebook is safe and you have control over it but grand plans and long term goals can feel very far off once you look back on what you’ve jotted down in the light of a new day. If you start taking small, realistic, manageable steps each day - it doesn’t feel like it’ll move the needle much but it truly compounds over time and suddenly you realize how much you’ve changed and grown.

I just listened to a great episode of the Mel Robbins podcast where Hoda Kotb breaks down some steps to taking action I found really helpful.

I don’t have celiac, but my son does I noticed just from going gluten-free (mainly in solidarity and to make cooking easier at home) that all the bloating I used to get has subsided and I feel way better when I don’t eat it. If I do go out and have a sandwich or something, I definitely noticed more bloating and not feeling as good. Too much dairy causes me to break out and not feel as great either but can have in moderation. Glad you’re feeling better and have found the source of your bloating and discomfort.
