Living Without And/or Gluten Free Living

I was diagnosed with celiac disease a month ago and am thinking about subscribing to Living Without and/or Gluten Free Living magazine.

Does anyone read these? Are there a lot of recipes included in them? Would you recommend one over the other?

I had delayed food sensitivity testing done and am supposed to be avoiding quite a few foods. That and I'm contemplating going on the Specific Carbohydrate Diet to heal my gut, since I'm still experiencing symptoms after being gluten free for over a month. So I thought Living Without might be a good choice.

Both magazines are kind of pricey, at $6-7 an issue, but I'm thinking it might be a good investment for at least a year, while I'm getting used to this whole process.

I've never read Gluten-Free Living, but I really like Living Without. It includes really great recipes and articles. I was actually just thinking I wish I had remembered to pick it up at Whole Foods yesterday...

Oh wow, I shop at Whole Foods a lot now. I checked for both of these magazines at Borders, but didn't find them. I never thought to check Whole Foods though, I'll do that next time I go. Thanks!

I had a subscription to Gluten free living. I recieved 2 issues out of the 4 I payed for, then after I got the second issue they sent me a card asking me to sign up for another 4 issues. The subscription was some where around $40 bucks and I can say it was so not worth it.

I tried to get my missing issues and they never got back to me.

I love living without, great mag.

I like Living Without very much. Good articles and always a bunch of recipes.

I pick it up at Whole Foods--I'm hoping the new issue is available this weekend.

I get Living Without and I love it!!! I've heard nothing but bad things about Gluten Free Living , though I have no personal experience with them.

I subscribe to both. Living Without is great. Gluten Free Living has some good articles but it has way more ads and less info than Living Without. If you can only get one, go with Living Without.

And yes, I have had to e-nag Gluten Free Living a time or two. OTOH, when Living Without screwed up and sent me two copies, they just told me to pass on the extra.

I get Living Without. It is cheaper if you subscribe to it rather than purchase in the stores. I've never heard of Gluten Free Living though until now. I also get Celiac.com's Scott-Free Newsletter. It has really good articles in it.

      More great tips, and a good excuse to shop at M&S and also buy more iced buns!   I wish we had an ASDA near us, as the few times we've been to one their gluten-free pasta range seemed very reasonably priced compared to other shops.  Thanks so much, @Russ H.

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50.

      BFree bread is fortified with vitamins and minerals as is ASDA own-brand gluten-free bread. All the M&S bread seems to be fortified also.
