Anyone React Less To Cooked Gluten?

Ok I am new and I seriously did not see anyone in this thread being abusive. Maybe just some misunderstanding. Most of us come from different life experiences. Rainabear if my post offended you I am so sorry.

Now I have been in my life a huge bread lover and I found it difficult to give it up at first and until very recently I kept regressing. Now with the help of this board I have discovered things I never would have thought about, ever. These are the cross contamination issues. I live with my sister that loves eating bread and stores it in my freezer. I also have to live with the crumbs she scatters all around the house as well as the wheat kitty litter that drifts around the areas where the litter tray resides.

Rainabear you will also have to keep separate jars of things like peanut butter and packs of butter/margarine that are used by you alone. I never thought that sharing a pack of butter with someone as an issue. But the bread crumbs off knives are enough to set off a reaction.

Tell your mother that cooking wheat will not turn it into chicken broth. It will still remain cooked wheat. It was a cute idea though. I wonder if it would work with chocolate. Maybe I can convince myself that a cooked chocolate pudding will turn into a serving of kale?

The other issue raised is that I am eating gluten free junk food, simply because it is there. I never ate chocolate biscuits before, so why am I eating all this junk now? Food for thought indeed.

Joss, I've read that gluten is literally addictive from people here on the board. It might be the cross-contamination stuff was keeping your system addicted?

If and when you find a way, let me know. Kale = yuck. Chocolate = yum. Monthly cravings that would be healthy and not make me break out would be great :lol:

Raina- If your mom likes thick, hearty hot cereals, why not try Bob's Red Mill gluten-free Hot Cereal? It is the one I have heard the most compliments on. I don't know personally, though... for I am a grits kind of girl.

Pickles and Catalina dressing, anyone?

Had to add that I almost fell of the train the other day when someone made pasta and had it on the counter, and that was shortly after a "High Gluten" flour bag burst in the store, which made me very ill. They schedule me to be out of the store when they use the flour, but not when truck comes. This is the first accident like this.

Well I have so much to learn. I went out with my DD today and she told me that 90% of burping that we do has nothing to do with the food we eat. She told me it was how I eat it. I was told that for years that I was inhaling a lot of air with my food. I now know better. For me it is the food.

Thank God I have you lot. At least you understand.

i have made an appointment with my doctor on Monday. I shall ask her to refer me to a specialist.

I saw on a Tv show the other day where they pureed spinach and cauliflower and stuff and put it in normal foods where the color wouldnt show, like cauliflower and carrots in mac&cheese and spinach and kale in brownies. They got the idea from some lady calls herself the 'sneaky chef'. I think she's got a book.

      Hi all !! Did anyone ever get prescribed methylprednisone steroids for inflammation of stomach and intestines?  Did it work ??  Thank you !!

      Hi Colleen Are you supplementing B12/having injections? I have learned recently that sometimes when you start addressing a B12 deficiency, it can temporarily make your symptoms worse.  But it is important not to stop the treatment.  Regarding your problems with anxiety, again that is another symptom of a B12 deficiency.   I didn't know what anxiety was until it hit me like a train several months before gastrointestinal issues began, so I can certainly relate.   Two books which helped me hugely were At Last A Life by Paul David (there is a website you can look up) and The Depression Cure: The Six-Step Programme to Beat Depression Without Drugs by Dr Steve Llardi.  Although his book is aimed at people who have depression, following the principals he sets out was so helpful in lessening my anxiety.  Llardi suggests we need to focus on getting enough: - physical exercise - omega-3 fatty acids - natural sunlight exposure - restorative sleep - social connectedness - meaningful, engaging activity   ... and we should feel a lot better. That is not to stay you must stop taking medication for depression or anxiety if you have been prescribed it, but adopting the changes Dr Llardi sets out in the book should really help. Can I just ask two more questions:  1) you say that you are B12 deficient, did they test your iron levels too?  If not, you really ought to be checked for deficiency and, 2) did they check your thyroid function, as an overactive thyroid can be cause rapid heartbeat and a lot of coeliacs have thyroid issues?

      Hello still dancing around my celiac disease and not getting medically backed up considering Ive been glutenfree since 1994.All my ailments are the core issue of my ghost disease aka celiac disease. Im angery because the "celiac specialist " basically lightly dismissed me.Im extremely angery and fighting for a new primary care physician which is hard to do in Northern Cali.So currently without and looking.Im angery that its lightly taken when its extremely serious to the one who has it.My only evidence is a brochure back in the days when I got news letters when I lived at my parents.It was published in 1998.I was diagnosed before any foods eliminated from my diet. Angery doctors don't take seriously when Im clearly speaking.I did write to the medicine of congress and have case number.

      I totally get this. It's absolutely a grieving process, and it's okay to feel gutted about the loss of those simple joys, especially at 18. Your feelings are completely valid—it's not about being ungrateful for your amazing boyfriend, it's about mourning the life you thought you'd have. That "tortured by the smell" feeling is so real. It does get easier, I promise, but it's okay to sit in the sadness and just vent about how much it stings right now. Thanks for sharing that. Celiac.com has published a book on our site by Jean Duane PhD called Gluten-Centric Culture, which covers many of the social aspects of having celiac disease: This chapter in particular covers issues around eating with family and others - Gluten-Centric Culture: Chapter 5 - Grabbing A Bite Together:
