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'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!

They could always add other words:

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

      plant sources of calcium, such as spinach, have calcium bound to oxalates, which is not good. best source of calcium is unfortunately dairy, do you tolerate dairy? fermented dairy like kefir is good and or a little hard cheese. i do eat dairy, i can only take so much dietary restriction and gluten is hard enough! but i guess some people do have bad reactions to it, so different for everyone.

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      Great advise there I agree with the aniexty part, and the aura migraine has I suffer both, I've also read some great books that have helped I'm going too look the one you mentioned up too thankyou for that, I find a camomile tea just a small one and a gentle wind down before bed has helped me too, I suffer from restless leg syndrome and nerve pain hence I don't always sleep well at the best of times , racing mind catches up I have decorated my whole house in one night in my mind before 🤣 diet changes mindset really help , although I have to say it never just disappears, I find once I came to terms with who I am I managed a lot better  , a misconception is for many to change , that means to heal but that's not always the case , understanding and finding your coping mechanisms are vital tools , it's more productive to find that because there is no failure then no pressure to become something else , it's ok to be sad it's ok to not sleep , it's ok to worry , just try to see it has a journey not a task 🤗

      I agree there I've tryed this myself to prove I can't eat gluten or lactose and it sets me back for about a month till I have to go back to being very strict to settle again

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.
