I found a great resource for interesting raw food recipes and ecologically minded stuff.

Open Original Shared Link

A lot of the recipes call for blenders and dryers and spiralizers -- but what I like about it is how interesting they are. They sound delicious!

Not all raw recipes are gluten-free. Some call for Nama Shoyu (raw soy sauce). You can usually sub in Celtic sea salt for that. I do. But some raw recipes also call for wheat berries.

A dehydrator is often used for raw recipes as well. I make a wonderful onion bread in mine. It has no grains in it. The bulk of it is chopped onions, but there's also flax seeds and sunflower seeds. I make it into sandwiches with Swiss nut cheese, lettuce and tomatoes. Reminds me of real whole grain bread.

I had not heard of raw foods until recently and i am anxious to learn more about this lifestyle. I found that the website Open Original Shared Link. The site is hosting a Raw Summit where each evening beginning November 15th through December 1st you can log in and listen to interviews with raw food experts and best of all it is free!

Is anyone on this board raw? What benefits have you found to going raw? ;)

I'm only starting. I'm probably 60% raw right now, but shooting for 80-90% by the end of the month. I've ordered a vita-mix high speed blender for doing the more gourmet stuff (in part to convince my partner that eating raw can be decadent too -- it would do him some good), and a dehydrator. I've also ordered a spiralizer that turns veggies into "pasta". Granted, you don't need any of this stuff...

I'll keep you posted, since I'm just starting. But mentally and, dare I say it, spiritually or energetically, I feel I'm on the right path.

You can detox, from what I understand, and feel worse for a time being. But I think I've been doing that over the last month anyhow.

I've tried the raw vegan diet but can't get to 100% because of gastroparesis. I find I have to eat a lot easy to digest foods like rice and pasta. However, when my stomach is cooperating, I love raw foods. Raw vegetables are my favorites. I also like onion bread (gluten-free) made into sandwiches with Swiss nut cheese, lettuce and tomato.

Have you had a chance to try out your spiralizer? i looked it up online and they look really cool.. what sort of things have you made with it? B)

the spiralizer is still not here. I didn't go with the saladdco, or whatever it's called, because too many folks said it was shoddy. So I bought another kind...and it's not here yet. I mean I ordered a month ago! I keep forgetting to call them. Thanks for the reminder.

You can run zucchini through the mandolin into the thinnest slices, then cut them into strips like futtucini. This works really well, and you don't need a spiralizer. So far, the raw spaghetti has been my family's favorite. They also really like the corn tortillas (but I didn't, so much).

I'll post when I get the spiralizer.

I just use a peeler for stuff like that. It doesn't produce the best looking results, but it's one more kitchen device I don't have to buy.

I started to try the Raw Foods diet but it was just too much work and too many ingredients for me.

Also I can't eat too many raw vegetables, they have to be steamed.

I always thought the reason the Raw Foods diet worked is because you are basically giving up grains, although there are a few recipes that use sprouted grains.

I do believe that it's good to include some raw foods in your diet though.

Along with giving up grains and beans (and dairy/meat if you are going raw vegan), the eating of the foods raw leaves the enzymes in tact, instead of destroying them. Also:

water

fiber

vitamins

minerals

I've noticed right away the water content in food. I am so much more hydrated now than I was. Also, my digestion seems so much better.

Maybe when your digestion gets stronger, you can think about raw foods again, if you're interested.

Good luck.

      Has someone experienced discrimination because of their illness?

      Regarding the discrimination you asked about, it is a lot more easy now to discriminate when you're supposed to answer whether or not you have celiac disease on job applications, and from what I've seen, MANY companies now include this question on their applications: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/a-critical-examination-of-the-inclusion-of-celiac...

      When Home Isn't Safe: Celiac Disease, Cross-Contamination, and the Right to a Gluten-Free Space

      It's too bad relationships end because of this disease, but I suppose that being healthy may be more important than being married or living with someone who isn't on board with the gluten-free diet.

      When Home Isn't Safe: Celiac Disease, Cross-Contamination, and the Right to a Gluten-Free Space

      This is a huge topic. My ex husband didn't care. Even though I had my own area where his food wasn't allowed, I'd find crumbs. I was always constantly cleaning. I threw a lot of food away because I wouldn't be sure if he had contaminated it. It really showed what a narcissistic person he was and is. Now I'm in my own home. Much better. I do have dogs...

      Fiber-Metabolizing Bacteria Could Boost Gut Health in Celiac Disease

      People with coeliac disease have an altered gut biome compared with those who do not, which may be associated with gut inflammation. Although the gut biome recovers on a gluten-free diet, there are still significant differences at 2 years. In a mouse model of coeliac disease, supplementation with the soluble dietary fibre, inulin, increased the number...

      Shaking/Tremors and Off Balance

      Hi Ginger38 Well done you for pushing through the pain barrier of eating gluten, when you know each mouthful is making you poorly. I went through the same thing not long ago, my biopsy was for dermatitis herpetiformis. Result positive, so 95% certain I have gut coeliacs too. But my bloods were negative, so very pleased I went for the gluten challenge...

Although the gut biome recovers on a gluten-free diet, there are still significant differences at 2 years. In a mouse model of coeliac disease, supplementation with the soluble dietary fibre, inulin, increased the number of beneficial microbes and reduced gut inflammation. Inulin is used by some plants as carbohydrate store, it is a complex polymer of fructose in the same way that starch is a complex polymer of glucose. Inulin cannot be digested by humans but serves as food source for some gut bacteria. Inulin is present in many vegetables but the richest sources are (g/100g): chicory root 41.6 Jerusalem artichoke 18.0 dandelion greens 13.5 garlic 12.5 leeks 6.5 onions 4.3 The Scientist: Fiber-Metabolizing Bacteria Could Boost Gut Health in Celiac Disease

      Has someone experienced discrimination because of their illness?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      When symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, or low energy change how we interact, others sometimes misinterpret that as disinterest, rudeness, or negativity—especially if they don’t understand the underlying condition. That doesn’t make their behavior okay, though. You don’t deserve to be treated poorly for something outside your control. Often, it reflects a lack of awareness or empathy on their part, not a fault in you. It can help to explain your condition to people you trust, but it’s also completely valid to set boundaries and distance yourself from those who respond with hostility. Your experience—and your reaction to it—makes sense. The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.

      HLA-DQ2 POSITIVE it's nothing

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Being HLA-DQ2 positive doesn’t diagnose celiac disease by itself, but it does mean he has the genetic potential for it, so it absolutely deserves careful follow-up if symptoms or concerns are present. You’re right that celiac is often downplayed, but it’s a serious autoimmune condition—not an allergy—and it can affect the brain, nervous system, and overall health if untreated. Given everything your son has been through, you’re doing the right thing by advocating and asking questions. I would strongly recommend getting a full copy of his records, and if possible, consulting a gastroenterologist who understands celiac disease well so you can get clear answers and, if needed, proper testing and monitoring.
