I am waiting for results from my bloodwork to see if I am Celiac. I should know the first of next week. My son is gluten and casein intolerant and it looks like I might be right in there with him. Is there a cookbook that you guys use that is a good cookbook for Gluten-free Casein-free folks? Is there a website?

I can't recommend any cookbooks. All the cookbooks I buy I put aside and never use. Gluten free cookbooks seem to cost a heap, and are few and far between.

What I do is read magazines, newspapers, and when I see things that I like, I make a note of them, and any changes that might be needed. You will be surprised how many main meals in the general mags are gluten free, even probably in your old recipe books.

It gets a bit tricky when you are looking for treat foods. But I find quite a lot of recipes you can just substitute the flour for gluten free. There are cake recipes that use oil instead of butter, which is good, and I love them.

I wish you luck in finding that book. All the ones I seem to see are from overseas, and probably not to relevant to NZ.

Actually, there's plenty of Gluten-free Casein-free recipes out there, which Google can help locate.

Here's some places I have bookmarked:

Of course, there are a number of recipe threads here on the board, so searching the appropriate forum should turn up a bunch of them.

What sorts of things are you looking for? Check your library. I modify my own recipes and also the gluten-free ones.

Thank you! I think the hardest thing is learning what things to look for in foods. There are so many different types of flour - how do you know which one to use?

With all the weird things I've had going on with my body since the first of the year, I'm actually looking forward to changing my diet. I had a hysterectomy last September and in April 2006, I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's. Since April I've gone from hypo to hyper - I 've had to drop my medicine twice. If I change my diet maybe it will continue to drop to where I don't have to be on Levoxyl anymore.

As for recipes, I don't know. I love food! Gumbo, pizza, chicken, beef, veggies --- all of it. I will look at all these chats and see if I can't find some good recipes as well as look at those cookbooks at Amazon.

I bought two cookbooks off Amazon. One by Carol Fenster... something like Gluten Free 101 and then another by Betty Hagman. I use the Fenster one so much that it has fallen apart. (Try the breadsticks!!!!) The only problem with making your own gluten-free food is that you have to buy so many flours/mixes to use. I bought some glass canisters and have lables on them telling me what it is. Once you gather all you need, then everything is at your finger tips and it gets pretty easy. If you told me 5 years ago that I'd have xanathan gum and cornstarch in my cabinet, I wouldn't believe you. I love cooking now!

Good luck!

There is no single answer. It all depends on what you're making, and personal preferences of course.

Anyway, I nearly forgot that this very site has a bunch of recipes too:

epicurious.com also has gluten free recipes and you can choose what else to leave out of the search. Click on the advanced recipes or something like that to get to the area that you can search for gluten free ones.

I definitely second the epicurious site and the gfutah site. I also like some of bette hagman's recipes (don't know if i'd recommend buying though) and The Gluten free bible (a controvercial book here in the forums) has some great recipes, but not lots. I would also check out allrecipes and cooks.com. Lots of my naturally gluten-free cooking I do using betty crocker or foodnetwork.com recipes (rice, veggies, potatoes, etc). Another site i like is helpforibs.com. The moderator, heather, has come up with some great recipes, and the forum has some creative cooks. A few have gluten-free diets as well. Good luck!

      I don't see how cornstarch could alter the test results. Where did you read that?

      For pain relief I take a combination of Thiamine (Benfotiamine), Pyridoxine B 6, and Cobalamine B12.  The combination of these three vitamins has analgesic effects.  I have back pain and this really works.  The B vitamins are water soluble and easily excreted.   Hope this helps!  Keep us posted on your results!

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Xravith. I experienced similar symptoms before my diagnosis.  Mine were due to the loss of vitamins and minerals, essential nutrients we must get from our food.  With Celiac Disease, the intestinal lining, made up of thousands of villi, gets damaged and cannot absorb essential vitamins and minerals, especially the eight B vitamins.  The loss of Thiamine B 1 can cause muscle loss, inability to gain weight, edema (swelling), fatigue, migraines and palpitations.  Low thiamine can cause Gastrointestinal Beriberi with symptoms of nausea, abdominal pain and bloating.   Thiamine is only stored for a couple of weeks, so if you don't absorb enough from food daily, as the thiamine deficiency worsens physical symptoms gradually worsen.  If you're eating lots of carbs (like gluten containing foods usually do), you need more thiamine to process them (called high calorie malnutrition).  Thiamine works with all the other B vitamins, so if you're low in one, you're probably getting low in the others, too, and minerals like iron, magnesium, zinc, and calcium, as well as Vitamin D..  Talk to your doctor about checking for nutritional deficiencies.  Most doctors rarely recognize vitamin deficiency symptoms, especially in thiamine. Get a DNA test to see if you carry any Celiac genes.  If you do not have genetic markers for Celiac, it's probably IBS.  If you do have genetic markers for Celiac, it's probably Celiac.  I was misdiagnosed with IBS for years before my Celiac diagnosis.   Keep us posted on your progress. P. S. Deficiency in thiamine can cause false negatives on antibody tests, as can diabetes and anemia.

      No she didn't because if I want to ask I have to pay 700$ for 1 hour appointment so I couldn't even ask. I read that fillers like cornstash can alter the result and tylenol contains it so that's why I tried to find someone who can answer.

      Did the GI doc give you any rational for stopping the Tylenol during the gluten challenge? I have never heard of this before and I can't imagine a good reason for it. Ibuprofen, maybe, because it is an anti inflammatory but acetaminophen?  I don't see that it would have any impact on the test results to take Tylenol.
