I Think Something's Wrong With Me

Okay, so my real problem is that I'm bored today. (I'm not sure how that can happen - I have 4 kids and I don't usually have time to even think of being bored.) Anyway, I was eating a piece of toasted brown rice bread (from Trader Joe's) and I realized that I actually liked it. I vividly remember the first time I ate it thinking it was absolutely gross, but buying it occasionally for things like stuffing and making croutons. I ate two pieces of it this afternoon. (Anyone on the weight loss thread reading this has caught me :o .)

I guess after almost 11 years without a piece of real bread my taste buds have gone crazy.

LOL, I don't think its bad. It really is pretty good toasted. However non-toasted it's not as good.

Good ... from reading all the posts on the board I was beginning to think that I was quite strange, being the only one who actually liked (brown) rice bread!!! :lol: It was the first one I tried after going gluten-free, and I always kept coming back to it even after trying others. I no longer eat bread, but I have fond memories... :P

Liz, blame it on being gluten-free for so long! My usual answer to whether a gluten-free product is good is "Depends on how long it's been since you've had the real thing!"

Things like brownies, though, are actually better gluten-free! They're fudgier.

LOL, if you live anywhere near me you can have the 5 loaves sitting in my pantry! I don't eat bread and my son absolutely refuses to eat any of the commercial gluten-free breads that I've optimistically bought. B)

Hey, if you like something that your actually allowed to eat thats great!

I tired some brown rice bread a few months ago and found it to be one of the better gluten-free breads, however I have found these nice wraps so have them instead of bread, I do however sometimes get this nice fruit bread.

I have catergories of gluten-free food.

1. That's so disgusting I'd rather starve

2. Its ediable but I'd eat the real thing if I could

3. Considering it gluten-free - this tastes great and I could easlily it even if I didn't have to

4. This tastes exactely like the real thing, this one is a rare find.

Everything my daughter hated at first now loves that is gluten-free!!! I have been milk free for a year now because I am nursing and you just "forget" what something tastes like. I think the longer you are gluten-free you will find more things you like!!!

I know my taste buds have adapted to gluten free food. After nearly 29 years I am not even sure my taste buds would recognize any gluten baked goods .

      Inconclusive results

      By deanna1ynne · Posted

      Dd10 was tested for celiac four years ago bc two siblings were dx’d (positive labs and biopsies). Her results at the time were positive ema  and ttg (7x the UL), but a negative biopsy. We checked again three months later and her ttg was still positive (4x the UL), but ema and biopsy were negative. Doc said it was “potential celiac” and to keep eating gluten, but we were concerned about harming her growth and development while young and had her go gluten-free because we felt the labs and ema in particular were very suggestive of early celiac, despite the negative biopsies. She also had stomach aches and lethargy when eating it. We just felt it’d be better to be safe than sorry. Now, four years later, she doesn’t want to be gluten-free if she doesn’t “have to be,” so underwent a 12 week gluten challenge. She had labs done before starting and all looked great (celiac panel all negative, as expected.) Surprisingly, she experienced no noticeable symptoms when she began eating gluten again, which we felt was a positive sign. However, 12 weeks in, her labs are positive again (ttg 4x the UL and ema positive again as well). Doc says that since she feels fine and her previous two biopsies showed nothing, she can just keep eating gluten and we could maybe biopsy again in two years. I was looking up the ema test and the probability of having not just one but two false positives, and it seems ridiculously low.  Any advice? Would you biopsy again? She’s old enough at this point that I really feel I need her buy-in to keep her gluten-free, and she feels that if the doc says it’s fine, then that’s the final word — which makes me inclined to biopsy again and hope that it actually shows damage this time (not because I want her to have celiac like her sisters, but because I kind of think she already does have it, and seeing the damage now would save her more severe damage in the long run that would come from just continuing to eat gluten for a few more years before testing again.)  Our doc is great - we really like him. But we are very confused and want to protect her. One of her older sibs stopped growing and has lots of teeth problems and all that jazz from not catching the celiac disease sooner, and we don’t want to get to that point with the younger sis. fwiw- she doesn’t mind the biopsy at all. It’s at a children’s hospital and she thinks it’s kind of fun. So it’s not like that would stress her out or anything.

      Buckwheat

      Thanks for the replies. I already use a gluten-free brand of buckwheat flakes I occasionally get itchy bumps. I'm still reviewing all my food products. I occasionally eat prepackaged gluten-free crackers and cookies, so I'll stop using those. I use buckwheat flakes and Doves Farm flour as a base for baking. Would you recommend eliminating those as well? It's a constant search.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Gluten free food is not fortified with vitamins and minerals as regular food is.  Vitamin deficiencies are common especially in recently diagnosed persons,  Get a 25(OH)Vitamin D blood test. And work on raising it.  The safe upper blood level is around 200 nmol/L.    "Low serum levels of 25(OH)D have been associated with increased risk of autoimmune disease onset and/or high disease activity. The role of vitamin D in autoimmune diseases   🏋️‍♂️Good job!   I find the commercial milk will give me mild stomach burn at night, while pasture/grassfed only milk does not bother me at all.  While you are healing, listen to your body.  If it hurts to eat something, eat something else.  You may be able to eat it later, or maybe it is just not good for you.  Lower your Omega 6 to 3 ratio of what you eat.  Most omega 6 fatty acids are inflammation causing.    The standard american diet omega 6:3 ratio is estimated at upward of 14:1.  Thats why fish oil works

      I  notice a reaction to tea bags, possibly due to gluten or other substances. Is this recognizable?

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      The blood tests you had done are not the main ones. The two main ones are the "Total IGA" (to check for IGA deficiency) and the "TTG-IGA". Current guidelines for the "gluten challenge" when people have been gluten free for a significant time period are the daily consumption of at least10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks leading up to the day of the blood draw. That should give you some perspective.
