postheadericon Difference between Food Allergy and Intolerance

Here is a link for a video answering the difference CLICK HERE

I had years of masking with wheat, finally after I had my 3rd baby I had a full response which included:
  •  Hives
  • Arthritic Pain
  • Migraines
  • Nausea
  • Fatigue
  • Bone Pain
  • etc
Doctors did not know what was wrong and no one mentioned food problems. I finally went to an allergist that tested my positive for wheat.  They gave me a prescription for an allergy pill and told me just not to eat brown wheat!

It's no wonder I continued to be ill with that kind of advice.
Finally, I found a good allergist that also is a strong proponent of holistic medicine and looks for the root causes of poor health and he doesn't just try to fix the symptom.
 So, I now receive proper advice on my health plus I also have read much on the subject of food allergies.

Now my symptoms have greatly decreased and I can finally eat wheat on a 4 day rotation cycle with no adverse affects, except dark circles and maybe some fatigue, but not always.

Dairy is also an issue. Lactose is not my problem either, I think it is the milk protein. Once again I can have it on my rotation, but it is a gamble if I will begin to develop a sinus infection.  However, I know how to manage that with a procedure that nips it in the bud most of the time. I list my sytem on another post for sinus problems.

In general most food allergies will show up with an IGE test and most food intolerances will come up on a IGG. Most doctors not offer the IGG or even know much about it unfortunately.

Just got back from our allergist and he gave us the name of this Doctor for help with the Rotation Diet for optimum health.
So excited about her site because she offers software, recipes and 
personal counsel for help with the rotation diet.

postheadericon Quinoa Albondiga Soup



I started this Albondiga (Meatball) soup around 8:30AM. I wanted to make a beef broth, so I filled up a soup pot with:

Water
1 lb Cubed Organic Beef
2 Carrots Diced
1 Onion Diced
Cumin
Salt/Pepper
and I let it come to a high heat and then I simmered it for an hour before I added vegetables from the garden:
Green Beans
Leafy Greens
Parsley
Dill
&
Cilantro
As that continued to cook and add flavor I began to make the Albondigas:

2.5 Ground Turkey
1/2 cup Quinoa uncooked
Organic Italian Garden Seasoning
Parsley Chopped
Basil Chopped
Salt/Pepper
Smoked Paprika


I rolled the balls, actually my daughter did, and dropped them into the stew and we simmered until lunch time about 1pm.

I used leftover plain rice and I combined it with the stew just before serving.

I did this for two reasons: My son can't eat rice and because it saves the integrity of the stew from getting mushy.

postheadericon Lunch Time! Nori Chicken Wrap


Canned Chunk Chicken
1 Carrot Shredded
1/4 Onion Diced
2 Celery Ribs diced
1/2 avocado diced (add these to the wrap just before rolling)
Salt/Pepper
Grape Seed Oil or Olive Oil
Balsamic Vinegar
Nori Wraps
After I made my kids their wraps I added Wasabi Mayo to the rest of the mix to make it spicy!



My younger boy doesn't like the way the Nori gets soggy after a while so I just serve his Nori on the side to eat all by itself. I also served this with extra carrot sticks.  The kids LOVE this lunch.

postheadericon For those with Celiac: Note on Cornmeal

I found this interesting post on the use of Cornmeal

postheadericon Gluten Free Corn Grit Fritters

I have to admit I'm putting the recipe on here for me, because it was one of those serendipity things. So if you can't understand it, but would like to try it. Let me know and I can put more detail.

Breakfast Grits pre-made

Browned Ground Meat w/onions
Add
Garden Greens chopped
cook until wilted
Add
Lemon Grass & Corn Soup
Salt/Peper

Add 1 1/4 cup grits combine all and cook until heated to increase flavor.
Set aside and allow to completely cool.

Mix
3/4 cup Masa
1/2 Cup Corn Meal
1 tsp Baking Soda
Salt & Pepper to taste
Add
1 egg
and enough water to make a thick batter that can be shaped into balls. Batter will be very sticky and not  firm, but not too wet or the centers will taste more like polenta. Once cooked they should have more of a bread like texture.  Fry in deep fryer until golden.

I served them with a quick avocado sauce made with mashed avocado, salt/pepper, balsamic vinegar, organic mayo or wasabi mayo,  garlic powder and a dash of hot sauce. For dessert we had super ripe, crisp, organic bing cherries! Mmm....mmm....good!

postheadericon MILLET DAY: Millet Muffins- Gluten Free- /Rice Free-/Dairy- Free/ Egg-Free


Boy was I happy to find this recipe this week. I altered the recipe to make it allergy friendly for my kids and they came out delicious and because I did not use rice flour they did not have the gritty texture. Instead, they had a nutty quality because of the taste of the millet seeds.

Click here for MILLET MUFFIN RECIPE

My substitutes:
Silk Coconut Milk plus 1 tsp vinegar
1 tb Egg Replacer mixed w/ 1/4 cup warm water
I only used Millet Flour
Additions:
After juicing I added 1/2 cup carrot pulp
1 tsp of vanilla
I also cooked them 5 degrees lower for about 18 minutes.
Do Not overcook, should be only slightly firm to touch when you are checking them and golden brown.
