We don't have to take any yucky medicine where the side effects are worse than the original problem. Also, we eat healthier and it gives us a reason to come together and discuss our lives!

Also, I appreciate food more now than I used to. I waste less food and basically cherish all my special gluten free foods. Like gluten-free bagels, and gluten-free bread.

It really has been amazing how little food I waste. I used to look at leftovers as something less than attractive but now....

if I have gluten-free leftovers, that are foods that I don't have to forage for.

Lunch has been my toughest time of day and having the leftovers has truly been my savior.

One of our family friends has cancer and she has to undergo very serious chemotherapy treatments.

I feel so blessed that all I have to do to get well is eat right.

the change in my quality of life. Lat fall, I felt sewn into the couch- tired cranky, and tired. this fall, I startes cyclo cross racing, sort of like mountain biek racing on road bikes., It is an incredibly arobic, deep lung pain, muddy, great sport.

When I crossed the finish line of my first race, (last) I threw up my arm in victory. truly one of the greatest moments of my life. My dad came over to take my bike and give me water, and I just looked at him, grinning with tears in my eyes, and I said, dad, I'm not a sickly girl any more!

thats what 10 months gluten-free can do

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      A friend of mine is in the bar trade most of his life and has never heard of lines being mixed for different type of beers and ciders. Better to stick with cans.

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Thanks very much for confirming my suspicion @Scott Adams! That helps a lot because I'm really trying to track down and get rid of these sources of cross-contact and so I'm going to just rule out the draft ciders and hope that helps. Also @Rogol72 its nice to hear you haven't had a problem on that side of the pond - draft cider lines being used for cider only certainly sounds like the right way to do it, but I think that must not always be practiced over here!

      Gluten challenge and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

      By Zuma888 · Posted

      I didn't ask a doctor about this actually. I did ask several doctors a long time ago and they told me gluten has nothing to do with hashimoto's. One of them told me to do a gluten challenge to test for celiac, but at the time I was in graduate school so couldn't afford to be even more ill than I was. If you have the symptoms, I really don't advise you to do a gluten challenge. It messed me up mentally and physically for months. At the same time, I benefitted from doing the challenge in the sense that it convinced me that all my symptoms were truly from gluten - even stuff like insomnia! So now I am terrified to eat gluten, whereas before I would have a little once in a while and not notice anything dramatic.

      I am in a similar situation where I can't feasibly do a gluten challenge but have all the symptoms and I have 2 celiac genes. I'm curious if your doctor advised you to eat as if you had a diagnosis or if they were more dismissive about it.

      Negative, although I had most of the symptoms of celiac disease. I now eat as if I had a diagnosis.
