Alright, so I was given the Gluten Free Bible. I like it and I realize that some of the info is old. Then I read some of the reviews on Amazon, some of them are less than glowing. Any opinions from here?

Also any recommendations besides Celiac for dummies which is next on my list.

I liked that book. She was so upbeat and "can do" about living gluten-free. That said, I'm not sure that all of what she proposes is practical or doable....but I still enjoyed reading it.

The other books I've read are "Living Gluten Free for Dummies" - that's a great "primer" about going gluten-free. I read "Dangerous Grains" - eye opening; The Gluten Connection - useful nutritional info; and "Celiac Disease, A Hidden Epidemic" - everything you wanted to know about celiac disease. I enjoyed reading all of these and I got something different out of each book. Happy reading!

I need something that is going to help me prep for an everyday kitchen. I'm kind of stuck on what to have for lunches or snacks so far. Also my son for his school lunches this year.

Dawnsister,

The recipe section here has countless things to cook/prepare. Many are also children oriented. Check it out :D

Also check out www.laptoplunches.com--lots of good ideas there, most of which can easily be made gluten-free.

Of all the books I mentioned, the "Dummies" book would help the most. Danna Korn (author) is the mom of a celiac kid. I think she also has another book about raising a celiac kid....but I haven't read that one.

I was just talking to someone about gluten-free lunches and snacks - I'll throw a few ideas out there.

gluten-free bagel/cream cheese

sandwich on gluten-free bread

apples with peanut butter

celery with peanut butter

deli meat "roll ups" (ham or turkey rolled around juliened veggies or cheese)

hummus with gluten-free crackers or veggies'

egg salad or tuna salad with gluten-free crackers

wraps (made with brown rice wraps)

gluten-free pasta salad

yogurt

string cheese

cut up veggies

fruit

nuts

gluten-free bars (Enjoy Life, Envirokids, Larabars, etc.)

gluten-free "Chex Mix" (got that recipe from the Dummies book)

gluten-free crackers with peanut butter or cheese

fruit leather

gluten-free "trail mix" (nuts, raisins, choc. chips, etc.)

I hope that helps to get you started!

I think The Gluten Free Bible was a great book. Sure, some of the info is outdated, but the book is still great. You have to look at when the book was written to understand that sometimes it will be outdated, but there will still be very beneficial info within.

i thought the bible was great for introducing me into the lifestyle of a person w/ celiac. it is a good coping book, w/ just the right amount of humor.

my favorite book is Life Tastes Good Again, which is a cookbook you can buy from www.eatingglutenfree.com. I have yet to find a bad recipe there! The site has lots of great recipes too!! As does this place :D

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
