I thankfully am allergic to flax seed. So I have not been tempted to try it. I do not know one single food that is good for everyone... I personally believe it is not healthy along the same vein that I do not think that soy is healthy. Just my opninion. I am also allergic to oats, so I am not going to be checking into any oats...

I have two copies of the gluten intolerant gene DQ1.

I also use bacon fat to fry things in or coconut oil. Both are delicious. & yes, if I am going to eat any popcorn, I pop my own, in a stainless steel pan. I do not want to eat the chemicals that are in the melted microwave bags... But I do not have any research on this - just my personal opinion. The same with eating any food heated up in plastic or styrofoam - I am just not going to eat it. Also, not going to eat anything out of a teflon pan.

I get organic dried fruit that has no additives. I have no problems with sugar, I think it is because I do not eat grains. & really I have no sugar or corn syrup unless I am having a See's chocolate. My last treat from the processed world. I use honey in most of my cooking.

I gave up corn syrup about 2 years ago - which was the best thing I ever did for myself.

I know this is off-topic, but could you point me in the direction of the info you've found to make you feel the same way about flaxseed as you do about soy? I agree with you about soy, but haven't done any research into flaxseed.

If you're interested in possible negatives with flaxseed,one place to start researching is the topic of cyanogenic glycosides. Other lists I'm on have argued this to death, back from the dead and to death again :lol:

Here is a little bit to get you started

I will now back carefully away from this topic and go hide in the corner with my bacon B)

In most of the books that I have read they keep coming back to the same thing, grains are not good for you. I put flax seed, oats, & soy in the same category as grains.

Flax seed may do some people a world of good, but I am not one of those people & I do not think that they are good for everyone. Also, if you read "Good Calories Bad calories" you will see how these supposedly heathly foods end up being recommended to the general public & how the medical community picks up the dogma & follows along... Flax seed is the new "soy" of today!!! 10 years from now it will be something else...

I think it is better to eat a wholesome diet with kale, broccoli, cabbage, tomatoes - raw & cooked, carrots, sweet potatoes, jicama... - which I think are the top healthy veggies, for me anyway. I skip spinach in favor of kale.

I think that you could skip the flax seed & have a breakfast with some bacon and/or sausage, couple fried eggs or scrambled and some fresh fruit and nuts.

I think that if a person is eating white potatoes, dairy, sugar, corn syrup & grains, & downing all that with a diet coke, & not trying to improve their diet that it is not going to matter if they eat flax seed.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      I'd go with a vodka tonic, but that's just me😉

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
