   Well tomorrow marks my 3 months. :) I am feeling much better!! I am going for walks almost every day! I am getting some energy back because before when I walked I felt like I had just ran a 10 mile marathon. Now I actually feel revived and a lil energized after a walk. I have lost alot of weight.

Yesterday I had enuf energy I actually cleaned out my cupboards, and got rid of alot of gluten. Threw all the Gluten Flour out washed and scrubbed the containers and then did it again to be sure, then one more time to be on the safe side! Then filled them with gluten-free flour. Let me tell ya there was alot of Gluten in there that all got pitched! So for my 3 months I think I am doing pretty good! Once in a while I will find lil things that have gluten in it. I just put that on my list of things not to eat and throw it away. So all and all I think I am doing very good. 

    I think I am taking care of me pretty good. I do have to say , It feels wonderful to know all I had to do was change my diet to start feeling better!! It will be a learning experience every day I am sure!! 

 Thank you everyone !! For teaching me!! :) I appreciate it.

Lol so funny I did that the other day! I held my breath took a plastic bag and put it over the flour then threw it all out! Washed the canisters in hot hot water then ran them through the dishwasher (they are ceramic) I haven't refilled them yet with gluten-free flour though because I think it's better to keep gluten-free flour in the freezer? Can I keep it on the counter?

This is fantastic. I remember the day I woke up and felt...rested. It was notable because I hadn't felt that way in, well, forever. Glad to hear you're walking and losing weight. I walked a marathon a little over a year after eliminating gluten. Couldn't have done that before.

 

Your de-glutening of your kitchen interests me because I took some time before I tackled the cupboards and refrigerator. Then one day, attack! I wonder if this is part of our (collective) process. Or if it's just a matter of finally discovering the energy to tackle the kitchen and all the surprises it holds for us? 

 

Still, congratulations!

If you have the space, keep them in the freezer.  They'll last forever, okay, maybe 10 years.  In your pantry they'll last a year or so.  Many will go rancid fast.

The freezer huh? I will put it in the freezer. It isn't that much to tell you the truth. And I put it in a plastic bag then put it in the canister. So easy enuf to take the plastic bag and put it in the freezer :) Thanks! 

 

For me I think it was finally getting enuf energy! Because I thought and thought about it!! But just didn't have the energy! But one day I found some and tackled it. I still have Gluten!! Just NO flour , certain things I don't want hubbs to make and forget. Like dipping stuff in flour and cooking it up. No no I don't want that! So no glutenized flour! 

Some days are good some are not so good when it comes to the energy thing. I hope I will get back to normal one day. But just being able to walk a mile is fantastic for me!! I wasn't able to do it this last spring. Now I can!! It makes me happy and my dog!! My dog see's me even starting to walk out back and he runs for it!! :) Thanks everyone for the nice posts :)

Yes some days good some bad. This week my energy is shot. We have had a couple weeks of bad air in the Central Valley of CA. The rim fire then another fire after that has polluted our air. I've been pretty much on the couch drained. But the weeks I did have energy were terrific! I haven't felt like that for years so I will take anything I can get!

Fantastic news! When I was diagnosed I purged my house on 3 separate occasions. 2 kitchen purges and one bathroom purge. I still find the random item that I have to get rid of but overall I think my house is gluten-free. I purged all of my plastic storage containers and wooden utensils. I figured I could use the purchase of new ones as a coping mechanism! I have yet to open any gluten-free flours I have bought except the coconut flour. It stores pretty good in the cabinet inside a ziploc bag. I haven't tried the freezer trick.

 

I was accidentally glutened while camping so I get to start my gluten-free journey over again. Congrats for being 3 months gluten-free!

I have only bought 1 kind of flour. It is an all purpose flour. I told myself not to run out and buy a bunch of Gluten Free stuff! Just trying to eat the more natural gluten-free stuff :) enjoying steaks :) And veggies!!

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around. The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me. Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients. The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus! Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces! Considering...

      Cricket Flour Makes Really Good Gluten-Free Bread

      Your concern about certified gluten-free cricket powder is completely valid, as cross-contamination in both feedstock and processing is a real issue. Currently, the availability of certified gluten-free options is limited, but brands like Chapul and Entomo Farms, which I believe have offered products processed in dedicated facilities and labeled gluten-free...

      Thus has got to STOP , medical bit believing us! I literally went through 31 years thinking it was just a food allergy as its downplayed by medical if THEY weren't the ones who diagnosed us! Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      By RUKen · Posted

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.
