hi,  don't mean to waste space, i'm new here, and i just want to say how thankful i am to have found this forum. coming from a pure italian background and upbringing, this craziness is freaking my whole family out...wait, you can't eat ITALIAN BREAD??? NO BUCCATINI?? lol

anyway, its nice to read posts from people that understand and accept that this is NOT a fad diet or a choice.  its a pain in the butt.  but unless you know how it feels to suffer the consequences of gluten intolerance/celiac, you don't understand what a relief it is to be gluten free.  

thanks again.

Welcome :)

It's very nice to read your post. I've been here awhile now but I'm still very thankful to have found this place and for the support and information I've received here. 

Hopefully you can still enjoy gluten free pasta. I made myself a pasta sauce a couple of days ago and loved it, can't really tell the difference any more from how pasta used to be. The bread's a different story though... !

I am working on a cheesy Italian bread that is gluten-free, -_- honestly missing it myself, and I just last month got down a bunch of pizza alternatives. Anyway there are a few companies that make gluten-free breads, and plenty of noodle substitutes for different dishes. Lundberg Makes a bunch of noodles, and various other dishes. Ian's and Udis have various dishes including ravioli, breads, etc. >.< none are as good as my mothers dishes but that is why I am trying to make my own. Where are you from by the way? If in the US I can give you plenty of links of purchasing them and where to find them. I will see about PMing you what I got on that bread recipe so far.

Open Original Shared Link.    Take a look at this site.  It's where I buy my dry pasta.  All the brands are very good........very close to real pasta.  The owner is real Italian and imports everything from Italy.  Enjoy!

      Chances of being coeliac

      What was the reference range for that test? Each lab uses different reference ranges so a raw score like that makes it difficult to comment on. But it looks like a rather large number.

      I have had the tTG-IgA blood test my result are >250.0  I am waiting for the appointment with the gastroenterologist for endoscopy and biopsies.    what are the chances it’s not coeliacs.  waiting and not knowing is so hard. Especially the eating of gluten knowing it may be causing you more harm and coping with the symptoms.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @sleuth, Has your son been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  All of those symptoms can be caused by malnutrition.  I had severe malnutrition that went unrecognized by my doctors.  Intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, and gastrointestinal distress are symptoms of deficiencies in the eight essential B vitamins, especially Thiamine B1, which becomes low first because the demand is higher when we're sick.     Celiac Disease causes inflammation and damage of the intestinal lining which inhibits absorption of essential nutrients.  Checking for nutritional deficiencies is part of proper follow up care for people with celiac disease.   Is your son taking any vitamin supplements?  Most supplements contain thiamine mononitrate which in not readily absorbed and utilized by the body.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that is shown to promote intestinal healing.  Benfotiamine is available over the counter.  Benfotiamine is safe and nontoxic.   Is your son eating processed gluten-free foods?  Gluten-free processed foods are not required to be enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.   Is your son following a low histamine diet?  Histamine is released as part of the immune response to gluten and other foods high in histamine.  High levels of histamine in the brain can cause anxiety, insomnia, and depression.  The body needs the B vitamins to make the enzyme Diamine Oxidase (DAO) to break down and clear histamine.  DAO supplements are available over the counter.  Vitamin C helps clear histamine as well.  Some people find over the counter antihistamines helpful as well, but they're not for long term use.   Nicotine has antihistamine-like properties, but can also irritate the gut.  Tobacco, from which nicotine is derived, is a nightshade (like tomatoes, potatoes, peppers and eggplant).  Nightshades contain alkaloids which affect gastrointestinal permeability, causing leaky gut syndrome.  Nicotine can cause gastrointestinal irritation and alter for the worse the microbiome. Safer alternatives to Nicotine that have antihistamine properties include Lemon Balm (Sweet Melissa),  Passion Flower, Chamomile, and Bilberry.  They can be taken as supplements, extracts, or tea.  These will help with the anxiety, insomnia and depression in a much safer way. Oolong tea is also helpful.  Oolong tea contains the amino acid L-Theanine which helps the digestive tract heal.  (L -Theanine supplements are available over the counter, if not a tea drinker.)  Tryptophan, a form of Niacin B3, also helps calm digestive symptoms.  Another amino acid, L-Lysine, can help with anxiety and depression.  I've used these for years without problems.   What ways to cope have you tried in the past?
