Hi

My ds/ds are on a gluten-free diet

I went to the gluten free store and started loading my cart with Amaranth (sp?) and other like products

My kids are 18mnth and 3yrs...is there anything I need to know about these foods/products?

My ds has a hard time with hard to digest foods etc

I don't even know what they are

Thanks, Kim

Did you get whole grains or processed ? I have problems with most processed / refined grains, so I stick to the whole grains.

These can all be cooked just like you do rice. I prefer my grains well cooked so I use 2 and 1/2 cups of water to 1 cup of grains. It takes approximately 30 minutes on low to cook.

You have to watch for reactions to new foods. A little stomach distress is acceptable. No serious "D", "C", cramping, bloating, reflux, vomitting, hives, etc :P

I love buckwheat or quinoa with cinamon, brown sugar, pecans and apples.

Hope this helps .. Marcia

amaranth is super healthy. i think it was used by people in south america for thousands of years (?) it isn't actually a grain---it is a seed. quinoa and buckwheat are also seeds. if i'm looking into trying a new food, i check out www.nutritiondata.com

I am also a fan of whole grain amaranth. I've used it in combination with beans and sausage and canned tomatoes to make a creamy sort of dish that was quite tasty.

I haven't tried the boxed snacks.

LOL! Every time I have tried amaranth anything it tastes like how mildew smells to me. My mom also thought the same. No one else would even try it. We tried several different brands and batches of flour thinking we had gotten a bad batch since so many people love it. But it all tated like mildew.

Oh, yes. I agree. I avoid all of their products as a result of being tricked by them once. I never trust a gluten-free compnay that steals my money once. I like kinnikinnick. I think i finally spelled that correctly. :) you can order kinkinkinkinkinki foods right from their web site. I keep it in my favorites so I never have to spell it again.

      Celiac getting dentures

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      Fighting for a name

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.
