I kind of don't really miss the bread and pasta, but the thought of no more wings or graham crackers really gets to me. Dropping weight, finally, but I am concerned about getting enough fiber and nutrition without the whole grains. Any suggestions>??

SG, there are lots of things! whole grain brown rice, baking with bean flours, adding some whole ground flax seeds to cooking, finding gluten-free granola bars with high fiber, cereals that we can eat, fruit and veggies provide fiber too. You don't have to cut out pasta, in fact, there are a lot of whole grain rice pastas that are very good!

I also take Fiber Choice (I checked with company, it's gluten-free) which is otc, chewable fiber supplement.

I'm sure others will be posting even more things I didn't come up with!

Not to worry! :)

I've heard there are some wings that are gluten-free, or you can make them yourself, AND there is a bakery that makes gluten-free graham crackers

it gets easier, you really do not have to "do without" much of anything except of course the evil gluten!

Nini,

I looked at that website and their stuff looks WONDERFUL.

Have you tried any of it? What do you recommend?

I'm still hesitant to pay exhorbitant shipping charges for food that most of the general population can go buy at the corner convenience store...

they had some at our last support group meeting and EVERYTHING I tried was absolutely delicious! I love the butterfly cookies that are like a powdered sugar cookie with a berry filling, they are sooooooo decadent! Also, I really was impressed with the graham crackers.

There are a lot of naturally gluten-free foods that have more fiber (and vitamins/minerals) than wheat, barley, rye, or oats. Brown and wild rices are good starts, but quinoa, buckwheat, amaranth and millet are good sources as well. Lentils and beans of all varieties also are good sources of fiber, with more protein than the gluten-free grains. And many many fruits and vegetables are good sources of fiber as well.

Spinach, raspberries, almonds, and broccoli are good sources of fiber. I recommend this site if you are interested in the fiber content of certain foods:

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
