I've read about this newsletter or magazine. Does anyone here subscribe, and if so, what do you think of it? I am having a very hard time getting past the incredibly negative title...

I subscribe and it's an excellent magazine. Many recipes and resources for gluten-free foods and products are included. I didn't find it a negative title at all....you are only living without wheat, barley and rye yet they show you all the foods and flours you can live with. We have many more choices we can make available to us for use instead of just wheat and it makes for delicious eating!

Don't let the title get you discouraged...the articles, receipes and even advertisements are worth the subscription. This magazine also addresses living without other food allergens (peanut, etc.) so it's not entirely for the gluten free crowd.

I don't subscribe, but I do buy it at the health food store when I get a chance. It is a great resource for new recipes and ideas. The pictures are great eye candy, too. I am putting a subscription on my Christmas list this year. :) Our library has a subscription. Maybe yours does too. If so, you could check out a few copies and see if it is a fit for you.

I don't have a problem with the title. It is, after all, "LIVING without", not "DOING without". I think it is very possible to have a wonderful, full life without gluten.

Its a shame Martha Stewart has cw on "Living"

It would be a much better and more appropriate title

Thanks everyone for their replies. I will see if I can find a copy. (I looked at the website and there is not a distributor where I live).

I agree that it is possible to have a full and satisfying life after being diagnosed with Celiac. It would just be so much better to have it entitled "Living Free" or some such. Without has dreadful connotations for me, without hope, without joy, without money, without time. The only possible without combination I can think of is without debt. :D That'll be the day!

Living Without Running to the Bathroom

Living Without Toxic Bodily Emissions

Living Without Drama

Living Without Keeping Pepoto in Business

I agree and selfishly I wish it was only for the topic of gluten free. But that's just me...

If it's not sold out, Whole Foods stores sells it. You have to time it when the issue first comes out. You may want to inquire at a Barnes & Noble too

      Oral thrush question

      Hi Everyone, I do appreciate your replies to my original post. Here is where I am now in this journey. I am currently seeing a Naturopath. One thing I did not post before is that I take Esomeprazole for GERD. My Naturopath believes that the decrease in the gastric acid has allowed the yeast to grow. She has put me on some digestive enzymes...

      I'm sure it's chemically perfect. Most of them taste lousy!

      Oral thrush question

      Hi @JulieRe. I just found your post. It seems that I am also experiencing thrush, and my doctor believes that I have fungal overgrowth in my gut, which is most likely candida. I'm seeing my GI doctor next week, so I'm hoping she can diagnose and confirm this and then give me an antifungal treatment. In the meantime, I have been working with a functional...

      Advice while waiting for testing

      I'm so sorry you're going through this—the "gluten challenge" is notoriously brutal, and it's awful to deliberately make yourself sick when you've already found the answer. For the joint pain, many people find that over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can help take the edge off, and using heating pads or warm baths can provide some direct r...

      Hi Everyone,  I do appreciate your replies to my original post.   Here is where I am now in this journey.  I am currently seeing a Naturopath.  One thing I did not post before is that I take Esomeprazole for GERD.  My Naturopath believes that the decrease in the gastric acid has allowed the yeast to grow.    She has put me on some digestive enzymes.  She also put me on Zinc, Selenium, B 12, as she felt that I was not absorbing my vitamins. I am about 5 weeks into this treatment, and I am feeling better. I did not have any trouble taking the Fluconazole.

      Hi @JulieRe.  I just found your post.  It seems that I am also experiencing thrush, and my doctor believes that I have fungal overgrowth in my gut, which is most likely candida.  I'm seeing my GI doctor next week, so I'm hoping she can diagnose and confirm this and then give me an antifungal treatment.  In the meantime, I have been working with a functional medicine doctor, doing a candida cleanse and taking vitamins. It's already helping to make me feel better (with some ups and downs, of course), so I do think the yeast is definitely a problem for me on top of my celiac disease and I'm hoping my GI doctor can look into this a bit further.  So, how about you?  Did the candida come back, or is it still gone following your fluconazole treatment?  Also, was it awful to take fluconazole?  I understand that taking an antifungal can cause a reaction that sometimes makes people feel sick while they're taking it.  I hope you're doing better still !

      I'm so sorry you're going through this—the "gluten challenge" is notoriously brutal, and it's awful to deliberately make yourself sick when you've already found the answer. For the joint pain, many people find that over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can help take the edge off, and using heating pads or warm baths can provide some direct relief for the aches. For the digestive misery, stick to simple, easy-to-digest foods (like plain rice, bananas, and bone broth) and drink plenty of water and electrolytes to stay hydrated. It feels like the longest month ever, but you are doing the right thing to get a clear diagnosis, which can be crucial for your long-term health and getting the proper care. Hang in there; you can get through this! This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:
