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

      gluten-free supplements in Canada

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @Kate1990, I reacted to calcium citrate because it's made from oyster shells and I react to seafood.   I chose calcium malate and chelated calcium.  Be sure to take a magnesium supplement as well, but several hours away from calcium.  Magnesium and calcium compete for absorption.  We need calcium for bones, but magnesium and potassium keep calcium in the bones.   Hope this helps!

      gluten-free supplements in Canada

      By Kate1990 · Posted

      Hi,   I've started taking calcium citrate supplements from Webber Naturals. It says that it contains no gluten, but not that it is gluten-free. I've reached out to the company by e-mail and they have assured me that it is gluten-free. However, I think I'm reacting to it. I've searched everything else I consume and haven't found any possible source of contamination. I've been looking for other supplement brands that would be certified gluten-free and safe and have found a few options, but none of them ship to Canada. Does anyone know where I could buy calcium citrate supplements (apparently calcium citrate is the one that causes the least constipation, and this is an issue for me). Thanks in advance!

      Please help, is this Celiac?

      By Karen Rakhshan · Posted

      I am so sorry for your long-term pain and suffering. My symptoms are very similar to yours. Diarrhea for seven years now. Two doctors told me to take Metamucil. It didn’t help. Stomach pain, bloating and terrible nighttime diarrhea got worse and worse. I only stumbled upon Celiac as a possibility through a 23andMe genetic test which indicated I had the genetic marker for it. I went to my GP asking for the test and was told sure - I’ll give you the order, but you probably don’t have it. Guess what?  My blood work was off the charts positive. So high of a number, in fact, that the gastroenterologist I was sent to confirmed me even before a biopsy.  The gastro visit was just last week. I’ve been gluten free for a month now. Small improvement so far, but I’m hoping to continue healing.
