Hello all --

I'm on Day 3 of a gluten free life!! So far, so good. Spent some $$ at the store the other day for a whole new pantry of food --- and thanks to suggestions here & from my sister (celiac for 2+ years) I had an excellent dinner & breakfast!

Had Tinkyada pasta - delish! - mixed it with tomato sauce & sauteed onions, squash & zuccini, YUM, tastes like normal pasta.

Then for breakfast I had the Kinnik sesame bagel - another YUM.

Thanks all... I'm off to a good start!

I love Kinickkinick Pancake and waffle mix I even have my husband eating them, beats mixing up

two dif. bowls and fry pans. I also like their english muffins I split mine in threes. I also split the

hamburger rolls in three's. Kinickkinick bread and bun mix is really good just have to mix it with

milk and water. The first day I tried the bun mix I made 5 rolls I ate the first one with butter then

another, and another, my husband asked me if I was going to eat all and I said I might they were

so good and so easy to make< I also like the kinickkinick sandwich bread for sandwiches and their

raisen bread is great toasted. I order on line and when I get my order I put it right in the freezer. We

do not have a store near us with Gluten Free Food, the closest one takes us over an hour to get to and

then they are out of the bread I want. I also order my cereal Enviro-Kids Peanut Butter Cereal and

The Enviro-Kids Bars. on line I can get Zone Bars at Wal-Mart The Strawberry and the Chocolate Graham are the only ones gluten free. My problem is I stay hungry all the time. Does anyone else have this problem?

We LOVE Tinky pasta in our home!! But, not for spaghetti - we use the Barilla Corn Spaghetti - and it's Yum-O!!

The Kinn... Maple Donuts are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO yummy. And, I'm not even a donut lover. As far as their muffins go... who in the world would even KNOW they were gluten-free?? =) =) They are THAT good! I've had the chocolate chip and the carrot.... MmMmmmmMMM!!!

My local A&P supermarket stocks them for me. They have a whole section of gluten-free stuff in the frozen section.

I have discovered a magic trick regarding the engligh muffins. You keep them frozen, and when you want want, take it out, put it in the microwave for 50 seconds. Take it out, turn it over, and let it sit for 1 - 2 minutes. Then slice it in half, toast it, put whatever you want on it (I do ham and cheese), then microwave it again for 10 seconds.

Presto! It's magic! The best english muffin you have ever tasted, even beats the gluten crap!

I'm lucky enough to have a grocery store (Omni Foods Market) about 5 minutes from me which carries the Kinnick brand... and, regarding the muffins -- YUM, delish. Put one in the microwave for 30 seconds & ate warm... mmm, now I'm hungry.

I'm thinking about ordering the Kinnick Bagels (and probably the donuts - they sound great!) online - and just keeping in the freezer. Anyone else do that? Is there a significant cost difference?

A new find (you all probably knew about this) -- LaraBars! Especially Apple Pie! Just ordered a case - high in protein & totally natural, an excellent treat.

Happy Friday!

(will be on the lookout for Barilla corn spaghetti too - thanks!)

I found the Barilla Corn Spaghetti at a Hy-Vee Grocery Store. They are in the Midwest, but I'm not sure where else.

I buy most of my Kinnikinnick stuff at Wild Oats, but they don't stock the Maple Donuts, so I special order those once in a while. =)

I just bought the chocolate iced doughnuts (yum!) and the english muffins (haven't tried yet). Now I can't wait to get home and have an english muffin!

When you order from Kinnikinnick, doyou order straight from them or some other site? I know they have to be frozen, so I guess that is an issue with shipping?

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hi, @Ginger38, I've had shingles in the past.  I understand how miserable you're feeling.   Not only do i have the chickenpox virus lurking about, I also have the cold sore virus that occasionally flares with a huge cold sore on my lip when stressed or exposed to gluten.  The virus lives dormant in the nerves on the left side of my face.  It causes Bell's Palsy (resulting in drooling).  The cold sore virus is also in my eye.  My eye swells up and my vision is diminished permanently whenever I have a flare, so it's of the utmost importance to keep flares away and treat them immediately if they do happen so I don't lose any more vision.   I take the amino acid supplement L-Lysine.  Lysine messes with the replication of viruses, which helps the body fight them off.   I haven't had an outbreak for several years until this year when exceptionally stressed and contaminated, it flared up again. Lysine has been shown to be beneficial in suppression of viruses like the cold sore virus (a herpetic virus), the chickenpox virus (also a herpetic virus), as well as the HIV virus, and even the Covid virus.   I also take additional Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) because Thiamine has antiviral properties as well.   For pain, a combination of Thiamine (like TTFD or Benfotiamine or Thiamine Hydrochloride), with B12 Cobalamine, and Pyridoxine B6 have been shown to have analgesic properties which relieve pain and neuropathy.    The combination of Thiamine B1, Pyridoxine B6 and Cobalamine B12 really does work to relieve pain.  I take it for back pain from crushed vertebrae in my back.  This combination also works on other pain and neuropathy.   I usually buy a supplement that combines all three and also Riboflavin B2 called EXPLUS online.  However, it's made in Japan and the price with the tariffs added makes it really expensive now.  But the combination of Thiamine B1, Pyridoxine B6 and B12 Cobalamine (and Riboflavin B2) still work even if taken separately.   I can't take Tylenol or ibuprofen because of stomach upsets.  But I can take the vitamin combination without side effects.  However, you can take the three vitamins at the same time as other pain relievers for added benefit.  The vitamins help other pain relievers work better. I hope you will try it.  Hopeful you'll feel better quickly. Interesting Reading: Thiamine, cobalamin, locally injected alone or combination for herpetic itching: a single-center randomized controlled trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23887347/ Mechanisms of action of vitamin B1 (thiamine), B6 (pyridoxine), and B12 (cobalamin) in pain: a narrative review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35156556/ Analgesic and analgesia-potentiating action of B vitamins https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12799982/ A Narrative Review of Alternative Symptomatic Treatments for Herpes Simplex Virus https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10301284/

      By Mari · Posted

      I think, after reading this, that you areso traumatized by not being able yo understand what your medical advisors have been  what medical conditions are that you would like to find a group of people who also feel traumatized who would agree with you and also support you. You are on a crusade much as the way the US Cabinet  official, the Health Director of our nation is in trying to change what he considers outdated and incorrect health advisories. He does not have the education, background or experience to be in the position he occupies and is not making beneficial decisions. That man suffered a terrible trauma early in his life when his father was assonated. We see now how he developed and worked himself into a powerful position.  Unless you are willing to take some advice or  are willing to use a few of the known methods of starting on a path to better health then not many of us on this Celiac Forum will be able to join you in a continuing series of complaints about medical advisors.    I am almost 90 years old. I am strictly gluten free. I use 2 herbs to help me stay as clear minded as possible. You are not wrong in complaining about medical practitioners. You might be more effective with a clearer mind, less anger and a more comfortable life if you would just try some of the suggestions offered by our fellow celiac volunteers.

      Thus has got to STOP , medical bit believing us! I literally went through 31 years thinking it was just a food allergy as its downplayed by medical if THEY weren't the ones who diagnosed us! Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.
