Hey guys, I thought this would be fun and interesting. Just fill in the blanks...

I'm (insert gluten-free, soy-free, meat-free, etc here), but I'm so glad I don't have to give up (your answer here-food or not).

I'll start with an easy one.

"I'm gluten-free, but I'm so glad I don't have to give up CHOCOLATE!! (gluten-free) "

and, don't answer that you're celiac free and you're glad you don't have to give up gluten... ;)

I'm really going to have to 2nd chocolate; but in the spirit of contributing something new - ice cream!!! (particularly Haagen Dazs Rocky Road, and Ben & Jerry's Pistachio, Chuncky Monkey and Cherry Garcia).

Ok and this one is lame, but rice. I love white rice. I know, strange.

I'm gluten-free, dairy-free, and soy-limited, but so glad I don't have to give up all fruit!

I'd cope, but I'd go through some serious withdrawl. :)

Oh, the list is so long! Don't know where to start. Home-grown tomatoes, sushi, farmer's market peaches, garlic, olive oil, basil, goat cheese, Indian food, Chinese food, Vietnamese food, Thai food...

And I'm so glad I can still bake cookies & pies & cakes & biscuits... & something more or less resembling bread...

And oh my god how could I forget COFFEE & WINE!

Oh. That was going to be my answer. I'll say that if I were gluten-free I'd be glad I wouldn't have to give up Wavy Lays and Kraft Philly Garlic dip.

      Global Experts Recommend Gluten Reference Dose: What It Means for Celiac Safety (+Video)

      This is FANTASTIC--especially that they are recognising barley and (potentially) oats as sources of gluten/contamination! Now if only we can get labeling guidelines to clarify "spices" and "natural flavors" for those of us with other severe allergies.

      What's your daily meals? Protein bars?

      What are your daily meals? Guilty pleasure snacks? Protein bars? I feel when looking for gluten free foods they are filled with sugar cholesterol. Looking for healthy gluten-free protein bars.

      Labs ? Awaiting in person follow up with my GI

      Unfortunately, there is presently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. NCGS is thought to be much more common than celiac disease. We know that celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder but the mechanism of NCGS is less clear. Both call for an elimination of gluten from the diet.

      Labs ? Awaiting in person follow up with my GI

      Thanks for your reply Trents…most appreciated. I am unfamiliar with celiac labs terminology so I wanted to know if the presence of HLA variants (DA:101, DA:105, DQB1:0301 and DQB1:0501) that the labs detected had any merit in predisposing one to be more sensitive to gluten/carbs than the general population? Also, I found what you said about N...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Thanks bumped it up and now take all 3 vitamins 2 capsules each with the super b complex at breakfast. I will give it some time to see if I notice a difference. I am going to track my eating daily diary on a myfitness pal app to see if the "claimed" gluten free foods bother me or not.

      Thanks for your reply Trents…most appreciated.  I am unfamiliar with celiac labs terminology so I wanted to know if the presence of HLA variants (DA:101, DA:105, DQB1:0301 and DQB1:0501) that the labs detected had any merit in predisposing one to be more sensitive to gluten/carbs than the general population?  Also,  I found what you said about NCGS very interesting and I appreciate you mentioning that.  I’ve worked hard to research and advocate for myself with my Hematologist and now with a new GI, since my bowel surgery and to maintain my Vitamin B12 health concurrent with keeping my levels of Iron in the optimal range. I’ve been tested for SIBO (do not have it), biopsy showed negative for HPylori, and have had Fecal studies done (nothing showed up) and I understand how a loss of a large amount of bowel could be highly impacting re: SIBO, malabsorption and motility issues. So I’ve managed pretty well diet and elimination-wise until just recently. That said, this new problem with extreme bloating, distention and upper girth, NAFLD just occured over the last 4 months so it is new for me and I thought celiac might be a possible issue. I’ll probably just continue on in this less gluten/carbs seem to be better for me and see how reintroducing certain foods go.  Thanks again.

      Yeast extract

      By JoJo0611 · Posted

      Please can anyone help. I was diagnosed on 23rd December and I am trying my best to get my head around all the things to look out for. I have read that yeast extract is not to be eaten by coeliacs. Why? And is this all yeast extract. Or is this information wrong. Thanks.
