Sunflower Seeds

Not had sunflower seeds in the last year since they started giving me issues over a year ago. I tried them again this morning, I made a cheese sauce with them blending them with water, nutritional yeast, hint of garlic and onion powered, apple cider vinegar. then used my standard thickening regime for cheese sauces of konjac and psyllium husk. IT TASTED wonderful the flavor of the seeds gave it a new take on a cheese sauce different but I like it. Then about 20mins later I am in the bathroom, first I threw up all the cheese sauce which floated.....yeah that why seems I am intolerant and can not break them down just like a meat, cellulose fiber, and a few other foods that float and do not break down in my stomach. Wondering why I have no issues with other seeds or nuts -_- and sunflower seeds are supposed to be hypoallergenic....but then again they are really oily and oily fatty meats do this exact same thing.....ugg sometimes I hate my body and wish it was normal lol. >.> Side note who wants 4 cups of sun cheese lol.

Hi, Ennis.  Sorry the sunflower seeds made you sick.  I can't tolerate them either.  I think you're right that they may be too oily for some of us, though I wonder about the combination with psyllium husks.... the psyllium husks would want to absorb water and the sunflower seeds would want to repel water since they are oily.... just wondering if that combination had something to do with your bad experience.  

Do you have a recommendation for a calcium supplement?  I don't do dairy.  I agree with your views.   Dairy is just gross.  It does horrible things to my body and brain.  I thought maybe you would have the scoop on a good calcium supplement.  

I hope you feel better!

Yeah I found another product with defatted sunflower seed protein and no issues, Found sunflower oil in the grocery store.....sicker then a dog and vomiting and I only use a bit to stir fry with. I am 100% sure it has something to do with the oil/fats in it. But at least I was able to find some pure forms to test with. Does seem to float separate from my stomach acid being thrown up first and  I feel much better after that floating oily stuff is in the toilet  the urge to pukes goes away after just the first bout of that.

Calcium I get a ton of it from the nut milks I drink, they are fortified with more calcium then milk, I use them to make nut cheeses, non dairy ice cream, etc. Probably drink a few cups a day of the stuff. My preferred brand is a local organic one, oddly the non organic from the same company causes issues...I think it might have to do with it using xantham gum.

I use extra virgin olive oil.  It's got lots of omega 3 fatty acids.  Sunflower seed oil has more omega 6 and omega 9 fatty acids.  The brain likes omega 3's and the body can make omega 6 and 9 out of omega 3 like snapping legos together.  

I tried almond milk a while back and it didn't agree with me.  It was during one of those "find the funky food" searches when I had symptoms and didn't know the source of the problem. It might be time to try it again.  I worry about getting enough calcium since I don't do dairy.

I normally stir fry with almond, avocado, or coconut oil (found a wonderful dairy free butter flavored one that is godly to cook with from nutiva), most nut milks do have added calcium, I sometimes make a jam with calcium water, universal pectic, sugar free sweetener (swirve) and a extract....OHH yeah Natural Vitality that magnesium company makes a version with calcium in it.

I am allergic to olives...like in the standard way amusingly, I just get sniffles, running nose, red eyes and coughing, now if I eat a decent amount of it like at tsp it can make me throw up. I generally just avoid them when I can. >.> made me decent at making my own sauces lol.

Allergic to olives?!? Oh, that's too bad.  I can't eat olives because they add Sulfites in the brining process, but the oil is okay.  

I'm leary of anything with processed coconut meat because sulfites are added to keep it white. So I am highly suspicious of coconut oil and coconut milk, too.  

Thanks for the tip on Natural Vitality. I'll check into it. ?

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      A lot to think about here. Does anyone have any recommendations for third party laboratories that will do full panel celiac screens private pay in the U.S.?

      You don't need an official diagnosis to request a gluten-free diet in either a hospital or nursing home--this can be requested by anyone. The higher costs associated with existing conditions for life insurance is a reality, and regardless of your politics, it could become a reality again for health insurance in the USA. For many this could make health insurance unaffordable, thus, everyone who is undiagnosed should understand such potential consequences before they go the official diagnostic route. As mentioned, once it's on your medical record, it won't go away.
