Type them. But for you, Dahlink! I would do anything for you! ;):rolleyes:

I will type them out tonight after all rugrats are snugly tucked into their beds!

Hey Karen, I got that issue a couple of weeks ago and wrote to the magazine. I said that I thought it was great that they were promoting Celiac and gluten-free recipes, but that I wished the article had focused less on the "classic" symptoms, mentioned some symptoms kids/adults might have: irritability, anemia, brain fog, etc. and told them to keep up the good work. I had to send it by snail mail though, the e-mail had a limit on words used.

I thought some of the ingredients were a bit out there. Like the bean flour made of some bean paste I've never heard of and I can't remember the name and I'm too lazy to walk to the kitchen to look it up. And almond flour...pricey! Give us recipes with cheaper ingredients, so when my 6 year old won't it them, I don't feel like I've wasted a ton of $$$.

I might write to Kraft Kitchens and encourage them to do some gluten-free recipes, too.

There's a link to three other gluten-free recipes from Canadian Living that AREN'T in the article in the April issue.

Hmm. Link won't work. Google Canadian Living and then in the recipe search type in GLUTEN. Not gluten free or else all the other dairy free, sugar free, whatever free recipes will come up. There was a butter tart bar, crepes and something else that I've forgotten in the last 2 minutes since I closed the website down.

I know! Adzuki beans. What the heck is that??? :huh:

I have already written to Kraft, but the more letters they receive the better! I just received my "What's Cooking" magazine from them today (it comes out 5 times a year and it is free!).

Adzuki beans are a red bean used often in Japanese cooking. I thnk they are sold dried, but I'm not sure--I'll ask DH when he gets home, but he's 3rd generation, doesn't cook, and is a true American glutenaholic, so he probably won't know.

All those recipes sound fantastic. I'm getting hungry just imagining them....

I see cans of adzuki beans all the time. I just picked up the magazine and they have some of my favorite Cuban foods also that don't contain gluten.

Well for the article, I think they were truly just focasing on recipes rather than on the symptoms of the disease and the effects.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Been off this forum for years. Is it that important that you get an official diagnosis of something? It appears like you had a trigger (wheat, gluten, whatever) and removing it has resolved your symptom. I can't speak for you, but I had known what my trigger was (gluten) years before my diagnosis I would just stay gluten-free and get on with my symptom free condition. I was diagnosed over 20 years ago and have been symptom free only excluding wheat, rye and barley. I tolerate all naturally gluten free whole foods including things like beans which actually helps to form the stools.

      No coincidence. Recent revisions to gluten challenge guidelines call for the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of 3 weeks. If possible, I would extend that two weeks to ensure valid testing.

      Thank you both for the replies. I decided to bring back gluten so I can do the blood test. Today is Day #2 of the Challenge. Yesterday I had about 3 slices of whole wheat bread and I woke up with urgent diarrhea this morning. It was orange, sandy and had the distinctive smell that I did not have when I was briefly gluten free. I don't know if it's a coincidence, but the brain fog is back and I feel very tired.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!
