What are you thinking about? Part VIII

dogmom said:
I've been trying gluten free since I've had some symptoms over the past year and 1/2 that possibly could be triggered or correlated to gluten sensitivity <not celiac>, so I've decided to try it...used to eating differently since I have dairy allergy and eat mostly plant-based<avoiding refined sugar also> anyway and eliminated some other things from my diet last summer as a result of the symptoms I just mentioned. I have some quinoa and legume-based pasta that I really like.

dogmom, I think I have commented on this before but I keep thinking about what do you eat? I feel that I am constantly reading posts of what you do not eat!

I would like this for my car !
 
Jane- I eat lots of veggies of any kind<raw/streamed/sauteed>, blueberry-anything so long as no added sugar, apples, pears, apricots once in a while, watermelon. Avocadoes. Mushrooms. Legumes <not peanuts - possible peanut allergy> Also sustainable fish - usually sardines/anchovies or wild salmon, lox, gefilte fish - but don't eat fish often due to cost - some lean poultry, local or "organic-contimuum" eggs and also in-a-carton egg whites, almond, cashews, gluten free oats<try to usually get those, that is>, buckwheat cereal, quinoa, flax, brown rice on occasion, no-added-sugar applesauce, almond, cashew or sunflower seed butters. Herbal tea and carob; gluten free pancakes. Usually it's almond butter from the health food store. I love super dark chocolate but haven't had any for some time. Almond or coconut yogurt. I also drink a coffee substitute drink that comes in packets like tea, is gluten-free, made from chicory and carob and some other things - non acidic, no caffeine.

I avoid: red meat/pork/lamb, commercial bread and sweets, hydrogenated oils and MSG, and anything acidic, which means no coffee, tomatoes, citrus, no vinegars <so commercial salad dressings or other condiments>. I have dairy allergy <for years and years>, and started eating plant-based and shopping at health food store when I was in high school. Got a health food co-op membership from my hub as a gift maybe the second year we were married. Since inception of IC-like <bladder inflammation> symptoms last Summer I quit coffee "cold-turkey" and have also not had the acidic things mentioned, or chocolate or caffeinated beverages since that time. I never liked soda and we didn't have it hardly in my house when I was a kid. We had instant tea and my folks drank coffee or water usually.

We only had orange soda on Passover , we would shop at uncle and aunt grocery store , dad would drive there so mom could see her brother
and dad would buy food Passover to help his brother in law , they had small mom and pop store and Kosher soda . We didn't grow up Kosher , dad would let us have
soda once a year . I brought a box of Cheerios and didn't notice it was gluten free and had some for breastfast I end up giving to my dog ! It was horrible tasting .
All of the Cheerios gluten free now , I wish they had added a gluten free brand instead of doing away with the gluten brand.
 
I wish I could take pic from a distance with my cell phone , there were 2 turtles in the pond today and one turtle was standing on the other's back . If I
tried to get closer they would had gone back under water.

Cheerios were basically always gluten free. The changed just a bit of the manufacturing process. They taste exactly the same.
 
A little history here:

Cheerios was introduced on May 1, 1941 as CheeriOats, but the name was changed to Cheerios in 1945.[1] Cinnamon Nut Cheerios were the first departure from original Cheerios in mid-1976, while the second were Honey Nut Cheerios, introduced in 1979.[2] Successful marketing led General Mills to become highly successful and sell approximately 1.8 million cases of Honey Nut Cheerios in its first year alone.

All Cheerios shipped to the eastern coast of the United States and eastern Canada are manufactured at the General Mills plant in Buffalo, New York.[3]

In January 2014, General Mills announced that it would halt the use of genetically modified ingredients in original Cheerios.[4] In February 2015, the company announced they would be making Cheerios gluten-free by removing the traces of wheat, rye, and barley that usually come into contact with the oat supply used to make Cheerios during transportation.

I'm a big fan of Cheerios growing up and still is. I eat those occasionally and it pretty much tastes the same.
 
I loved Cheerios as a kid - my mom said I went through a phase where all I anted to eat was Cheerios. That was interesting about them, Calvin-

We didn't keep kosher either, WDYS- but i remember going to a little kosher shop in what was even then the original Jewish part of town, where there was still kosher places - it was the orthodox who lived there then mostly as opposed to Jews in general - most of liberal Jews had left the area at that point. It would have been the late 70's and 80's. Today still it's really only very frum who live there.But I loved going to that kosher shop and the smells and getting things like real bagels and pickles, gefilte fish - I always liked that -

My dad's family were Orthodox when he was born in Chicago, but over time moved more to Conservative.

I'm thinking too what a beautiful day it is, I was outside playing with my dogs a bit ago-
 
When I was a child I was very sick, and Cheerios and Rice Krispies, were the only cereals allowed by the doctor, due to the lack of harmful ingredients. I still only eat these two, and it's cool they have made them even safer for everyone.
 
Hi Botti!! I'm happy to see you....I was sick a LOT as a kid too. After birth went straight to NICU and there were some issues there, mostly digestive. As a young child had a lot of colds and ear infections and bladder infections. I also loved Rice Crispies - but I think the Cheerios were my favorite. I can see why the doctor would have allowed only those. i'm glad too about the changes.

I like Cheerios still , they're not too sweet for me and I would eat them as snack , I knew they were to be gluten free one I didn't realize that you wouldn't be able to buy the original kind anymore . It not going over too good in my city people are buy the store band Cheerios . I don't like gluten free food, I know some people have to it .
There was 2 Kosher grocery stores in walking distance from our house , this was great for my mom b/c she didn't drive. The only problem was when the guy asked mom if she wanted anything else she never " No thank you" I was with her and asked why was she buying so much food and she said the guy asked if she wanted anything else! I told her to say No thank you". OMG ! The bagels you buy today are nothing like the one we had growing up . And the pickles and gefilte fish with
horseradish . YUMMY ! I think there was only 2 Jewish families on my street when growing up.

:dizzy: :dunno: Which is it. You do like or you don't like?
 
The box of Cheerios I have has this on the back.

"The taste you love has always come from the oats that are natrually gluten free. We're simply making sure they stay that way."

So I don't know how WDYS can say they tasted bad because the were gluten free. :dunno:
 
Thinking how great it will be to get a loft bed to put in the spare room. With the mattress up high I will have more storage space (on the bed and below it). However, I 'm also thinking how much trouble it will be to set up. First moving a lot of boxes out of the room, then the box spring (will trash that) and mattress. Then build the loft bed and get the mattress up on top of it. Then move all the boxes back into the room. Once I buy the bed, I'll have to arrange with my daughter and her boyfriend to come over and help move the old bed out, build the new one then get the mattress up.
