Is there a brand name of those rice tortillas?   That sounds good. I"d love to find a wrap or tortilla or bread or something that has no corn product in it. I looked up the Enjoy Life stuff.  It doesn't mention on amazon that there is no corn in it, but when you read the ingredients on your boxes, is there no corn ingredient, including no xantham gum? It'd be so great to find baking items with no corn.  

Seriously check my list -_- Simple Mills, grain free corn free mixes, Enjoy Life, is corn free also but uses a bunch of starches and grains, I listed a rice/cavassa tortilla on there, I listed coconut wraps as alternatives also and those are grain free. I also listed alternatives go gluten free and corn free tortilla chips......I have a corn allergy, like 100F+ fever and blood blisters forming in my mouth, stomach, intestines, and if I touch the stuff I break out in a poison ivy like rash.

notme Experienced

i find that i can tolerate some foods that were off limits to me (soy, certain veggies, ice cream, chocolate, etc) if i do not eat them two days in a row, for whatever reason.  i'm thinking histamines.  whatever it is, i can eat many more/different foods.  i usually eat the same sort of food/meal every 3 days.  i was puzzled why i could eat something one day and be fine.  then eat the same thing the next day and not fine.  seems to be working :) i thought i had a problem with eggs bc i was eating them nearly every day for breakfast, but if i rotate it with cereal one day, a bagel or waffle or pancakes etc for day 2 then i can have eggs the third day as long as i go back to cereal the next day (for example) i can even tolerate fresh (and frozen lolz) fruit once every 3 days when i thought i couldn't tolerate fruit at all.  so long as i don't eat it tomorrow ;)

it's trial and error, and what works for one may not work for another.....  but this seems to be working for me.  right now lolz :D

Where is your list?  Was that also in the recipe section or a different section?  That has got to be really freaky having such a corn reaction.  I am glad you have found good foods to eat you are okay with.

Did not check earlier but I did not mention that the simple mills was corn free, though I did mention grain free.

Thanks. That list gave me some brands to try that have no corn.  I need to check some stores around town to see what they all have, but might have to order some things.  I did just get some pita pockets at the store (Market Basket) in the frozen section and they have no corn, brown rice, or rice bran, thankfully.  I haven't tried them yet, but on Halloween our tradition (ever since I was a kid) was homemade pizza.  I wasn't sure how I was going to do that this year, but now I'll use these pitas as the crust.  Now on to see if I can find a pepperoni that is not only gluten free, but no other ingredients in it that might bother me.  Although I will probably pass on all the toppings (like also onions and peppers and mushrooms) and just use cheese this year to be more gentle and mild on my tummy.  I am still recovering from I think an accidental cross contamination. 

Oh, the pita pockets in case anyone is interested are called Against The Grain.  The ingredients are: tapioca starch, milk, buckwheat flour, non GMO canola oil, salt, yeast, raisin juice concentrate, 

I am hoping nothing in them will bother me.   I have not had anything with buckwheat flour yet and hoping the raisin juice concentrate is okay.  Never even heard of that before.

Califlour foods, pizza crust is corn free. the plant based one is great. I think there is a huge sale right now on the 5 packs with a pizza pan. It can be used for a flat bread also, There is a trick to the crust, depending on the prebake you can get different levels of crispness 5min prebake gets a super soft crust while 15-20mins makes it extra crispy.

Ingredients:
Cauliflower, Almond Flour, Flax Meal, Olive Oil, Tapioca Starch, Garlic Powder, Dried Basil, Himalayan Pink Salt, Nutritional Yeast

When my gut is damaged from a glutening, I can not eat cauliflower.  Fortunately, with healing, I can get it back.   Same for dairy.   It is all about easy-to-digest foods.  

I have a big freezer in my garage.  Best investment ever!  I cook soups, stews and chili to always have on hand.  I freeze pre-cooked  ground beef, stew meat, chicken, shredded pork (seasoned or not)   Defrost to be tossed into any dish (e.g. tacos).  I also have cookies and other  goodies for my family that I bake.  Handy when going to a party, etc.   All gluten free of course.  

It sounds like you are doing just fine.  Plan for the times that you are tired or are not feeling well, so that you are making good choices all the time.   I keep snacks in my purse or food in a cooler when we are out and about.  

That meatloaf?  We add white rice.  Always have.  I think it is a Polish thing!  

You are doing great!  

CyclingLady, czy ty jest Polskie?  Wow, that is too funny!  Do you make golabki also?  I never developed the knack for making good golabki somehow, but my mom makes them awesome.  Too bad we don't have any good substitute for pierogi --- I don't think anyone is ever going to make a gluten-free dough that is that thin and stretchy that still holds together.

I do make a mean wild mushroom soup, from wild mushrooms that I gather and dry here in Alaska.  I used to make a pretty damned good makowiec (which all the members of the local Polish Club used to rely on and enjoy), but sadly no longer, as that was made of course with a gluten dough.  I also do zupa szczawiowa from szczaw that I grow myself.

      @Manaan2,  I'm so happy to hear you're going to try thiamine and magnesium!  Do let us know the results!   You may want to add a B 50 Complex with two meals of the day to help boost absorption.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins which are all water soluble.   When supplementing magnesium, make sure to get sufficient calcium.  Calcium and magnesium need to be kept in balance.  If you choose a calcium supplement, take two hours apart from magnesium as they compete for absorption.  Take Calcium with Vitamin D.  Vitamin D helps calm the immune system.   For pain, I use a combination of thiamine, B12 Cobalamine, and Pyridoxine B6.  These three vitamins together have analgesic effects.  My preferred brand is "GSG 12X Takeda ALINAMIN EX Plus Vitamin B1 B6 B12 Health Supplementary from Japan 120 Tablets".  Alinamin is another form of thiamine.  It really takes is excellent at relieving my back pain from crushed vertebrae without side effects and no grogginess.   Look into the low histamine version of the Autoimmune Protocol Duet (Dr. Sarah Ballentyne, a Celiac herself developed it.)  It really helps heal the intestines, too.  It's like a vacation for the digestive system.  Add foods back gradually over several weeks after feeling better.   I'm so happy to have pointed the way on your journey!  Let us know how the journey progresses!

      @knitty kitty I can't thank you enough!  My husband and I already started looking into those supplements.  We definitely plan to give it a try.  We've been against the Miralax since it was originally advised by PCP, but because of the level of pain she experienced on a daily basis, we decided to try it.  We've made many attempts to gradually decrease but due to her pain and related symptoms, we've kept her on it while trying all sorts of other dietary adjustments pre and post diagnosis specific to food; so far none of those efforts have made a significant difference.  I will definitely share how she's doing along the way!

      Hi, I have recently embarked on the gluten-free journey. I have what to me seems like a somewhat confusing set of test results and symptoms. I have been impressed by the accumulated knowledge and thoughtfulness as I browse this forum, so I figured I'd make a post to see if anyone can offer any insight. I know there are many posts like this from new users, so I have tried to do my baseline research first and not ask super obvious questions.  I'm 43, overall very healthy. No history of gluten sensitivity or really any of the classic GI symptoms. About three years ago I started to experience intermittent bouts of fatigue, chills/cold intolerance, and shortness of breath/air hunger (sometimes feels like a hollowness in my chest, hard to describe). The symptoms over time have become fairly significant, though not debilitating, I am able to exercise regularly and am fairly physically active, continue to perform well at work. But for example I have gone from someone who consistently ran hot, was always cranking the a/c, to someone who wears a down vest inside at work in winter and get chills if the a/c even blows on me in summer. I get tired and lose energy even when getting decent amounts of sleep, and have to have my wife take over on long drives that I could previously handle with no problems. More generally when I am experiencing these symptoms they seem to crowd out space in my mind for focusing on my family, my hobbies/activities etc, I sort of withdraw into myself.   I happened to be experiencing these symptoms during an annual physical with my PCP a few years ago, he observed post nasal drip and suggested it was allergies and that I treat it with claritin. At first it seemed to respond to claritin (though not zyrtex), but over time I became unsatisfied with that answer. There didn't seem to be any seasonal rhyme or reason to my symptoms, and I felt like I was on an endless loop of taking claritin, then stopping, not being sure if it was even making a difference. I did eventually get allergy tests and found modest allergies to dust and pollen, which didn't feel like a smoking gun.  I then started seeing a natural medicine doctor who was much more willing to explore my symptoms via testing. The first thing that came back abnormal was elevated thyroid peroxidase antibodies/TPOs, 137 IU/mL vs a reference range of <9. At the same time my thyroid panel showed normal thyroid hormone levels. So it appears my immune system is attacking my thyroid even though it is working fine. I got a thyroid ultrasound at the time, it was clear, but with some abnormalities such that they suggested I get is scanned again in a year. These are certainly risk factors for a thyroid autoimmune disease, though my thyroid seems to be working fine for now.  From here my doctor considered celiac due to the murky thyroid/celiac links, so we did a panel. Results were as follows: TT IGA <1 U/ml, TT IGG <1 U/ml, deamidated gliadin IGA 24.6 U/ml, deamidated gliadin IGG <1 U/ml, IGAs 170 mg/dL. Readings greater than 15 considered high by my lab for the first four, my IGAs are within reference range. So basically just the deamidated IGA popped, but my IGAs are normal. I also notice on the tests that my thyroglobulin was high, 86.7 ng/ml vs a range of 2.8 - 40.9.  My doctor suggested that it certainly wasn't conclusive for celiac, but it was possible, and likely that I have some sort of gluten sensitivity. She suggested going gluten free and seeing how I felt as opposed to doing a biopsy. The best theory I can come up with is perhaps I am a silent celiac or just have a gluten sensitivity that doesn't produce immediate GI symptoms, but is still doing damage and over time has caused leaky gut. So now gluten is getting into my blood, and my immune system is attacking it but also mistakingly attacking my thyroid.  So that's what I did, went gluten free in October. It's been about four months, and I am really not feeling any difference. I still get the same symptoms that come and go. My bowel movements may be a bit more regular, but it was never a major issue before so I would consider that a minor improvement. I know that it can take a while to see improvements, and I am going to remain gluten-free and see how I feel. But I am definitely questioning whether I really understand what is going on, and am open to any thoughts or suggestions from the forum. Sometimes I wish I just went ahead with the biopsy before going gluten-free. While I would certainly be down to start drinking IPAs again ahead of a biopsy, you know, for science, I feel like at this point I would be throwing away four months of work and am better off staying the course and seeing what happens. But I'm really not sure.  I know there is a lot of thyroid knowledge on these boards, along with the celiac expertise, so I'm curious if this resonates with anyone's experience. And I'm interested in what sort of timelines people have experienced in terms of feeling improvements for some of these non-GI symptoms like chills, SOB, brain fog etc. Thanks in advance.

      Does it taste like black licorice?  It said it was chewable.  I do not like that flavor.     Since the burn at the back of my throat is there everyday, I usually only take something when it is unbearable and keeping me from ADL especially sleep.

      Your concerns about Nando's cross-contamination practices are valid and important for the celiac community. It's disappointing that Nando's does not have stricter protocols for children's portions, especially given the risk of cross-contact with gluten-containing items like garlic bread. Cooking gluten-free items on shared surfaces, even if cleaned, is not safe for individuals with celiac disease, as even trace amounts of gluten can cause harm. While the adult butterfly chicken may be a safer option, the inconsistency in practices for children's meals is concerning. It's frustrating that Nando's headquarters did not take responsibility, but sharing your experience raises awareness and may encourage them to improve their protocols. Consider reaching out to celiac advocacy organizations to amplify your concerns and push for better standards. Always double-check with staff and emphasize the importance of avoiding cross-contamination when dining out.
