So it's been about two months now. I could discuss at great length the quality of my BMs, but suffice it to say things are great.

I'm no longer a slave to the bathroom. I don't have to worry on that hour long drive to work, "am I gonna make it?".....I can go on an hour long run and not get the runs...

Overall I basically feel better. In lots of little ways that are hard to quantify, with maybe even a bit of my imagination thrown in there.

My mood is more upbeat. When I get down, it doesn't last. I have more energy, more libido. Even when crappy things happen, I continue feel more upbeat about life. I don

Yes, it does become second nature :D

I think your post should be required reading for all those new to the diet who would like to know what to expect. There's no telling how many you have helped by sharing your "journey" with us.

Jerry, you are a true success story! B)

It's always great to see the "product" looking more healthy. :) I just had a big relapse in mine (due to eating corn... bleh!) and had to go looking for my stash of pre-moistened towelettes again.

I hear ya--I recently thought I could get away with Cool Whip (of all things). Between the corn and the casein, it wasn't at all pretty :ph34r:

Eating Gluten Free has become more automatic. It just feels right to avoid the bread and the breading and eat the fresh stuff anyway. Sometimes it's hard to figure out what to eat and although I've lost about 5 lbs now, I'm not starving. It never bothered me much to eat steak and potato's, I have a great excuse now.

Jerry,

As the weeks, months and years go by you will not even comprehend how to eat anyway but Gluten Free. I am glad to here that your health has improved.

Dear JerryK,

You deserve the treat! You have earned it! ;) MMMMM! Mint Chocolate Chip! I miss that. I cannot have casein though. :( Maybe someone makes a safe version somewhere. I should check the healthfood store!

Dear L.A.,

:lol: Yep, he seems to have his "crap" together!

Sincerely,

NoGluGirl

P.S. A good name for a Celiac band: The Poo Fighters! :P

Thanks for the warning! You just made me crack up and spit coffee all over my monitor. Trust me, if I'm gonna take the time to look at pictures on the internet, ratemypoo.com isn't even on my list;)

Victoria's secret maybe...poo pictures...I don't think so.

Dear Jerry,

At work huh? :lol: Yeah, it might not be good if your boss caught you on that site! I know there are a lot crazy things on the net, but that one takes the cake! You might want to be concerned about your brother considering he knows about the site. :P Just a thought.

Dear jerseyangel,

Okay, I will scratch off your son as a possible date. :lol: Does it scare you that he is going to that site? It would me if I were his mom! Everyone has their hobbies, though. Some are just more unusual I suppose! Hmmm...maybe that band the Butthole Surfers started that site.

Sincerely,

:lol: Too funny! Naw--he's a normal, hard-working guy. Owns his own home, has a great girlfriend, and normal hobbies.

I think this falls into the category of farting and belching--you know, things guys somehow find hilarious ;)

I am concerned. He says they have "names". He was particularly impressed with "The Hindenburg".

My brother is one sick puppy :lol:

      My only proof

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      By RUKen · Posted

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.
