Dietician At Our Celiac Sprue Association Mtg Today

Today we had our Celiac Sprue Association meeting in Colorado Springs and had a dietician speak. The ideas she had were endless for packing lunch ideas. I have gotten in such a rut and she opened up my mind to so many other things that I have had and loved but forgotten. Lots of new things too. I had to stop at King Soopers on the way home and get some of the stuff. For a BBQ tonight I made stuffed grape leaves that everyone fought over and a gluten-free pasta salad with kidney beans. For lunch I made a lettuce wrap with homemade hummus, turkey, onion, roasted peppers, shreded cabbage, toasted sesame seeds and tomatoes it was sooooooo good. Then for a snack tomight I had a rice cake broke in 3 and had cashew butter, fire roasted chilie jam and some laughing cow cheese. One of the things I thought was interesting was when she talked about certain foods being inflammitory foods and the non inflammitory foods. I will have to look at that some more.

One of the yummy things I learned about was Tampenade=crushed olives and very flavorful. I put in everything today.

Tomorrow I am looking forward to grilling some leeks, peppers, and squash. I can't wait to play again.

Now I will probably dream about things to make for tommorrow. Like what to do with the eggplant I bought. Baba Ganoush was what she was talking about.

Wow that sounds awesome. I live in the Springs also and wish I knew about the meeting. I am very new to all the just since Jan./08 and would love and need support. When is and where is the next meeting, I need to plan ahead since I do not drive due illness, but would love to go.

I am curious as what are considered inflammatory foods and what are non-inflammatory foods?

Hi Chrissy

We normally meet at the Ruth Holly Brach Library, (Platte and Murray) on the 2nd Sat of the month, at 10 am. Sept we will meet at the King Sooperrs, on Austin Bluffs, I think at 9:30 am. We will get a tour of the store and all the gluten-free items. Then I think our secretary Marie Pizzolatto will be talking about Holiday Cooking and Baking. I just joined recently also. You can get more info from Marie at celiacfamily@yahoo.com or www.geocities.com/ppccsa/

I am also with another group starting at Vista Grande Baptist Church, We are just starting but will not be meeting this month contact Julie at meandmicah@hotmail.com to be added to the email list.

I would also love to meet up with you. I live in Security. You can email me at BuildingBlessings@msn.com.

Talk to you soon.

Inflamm

carbs without protien

meats

sugars

non inflamm

Plant based protiens like

legumes

split peas

lentils

some nuts and seeds

I am going to have to research to get more. I may even try to get a copy of the speakers notes. I bet once I do a searchon the internet lots more will come up.

Have a great week.

      @Mynx, how long have you been gluten-free? I ask because many newly diagnosed celiacs react to many things, and often think their reactions are caused by gluten, when in fact, they are really caused by a combination of a sensitive gut due to damage, as well as additional food intolerance/leaky gut issues to other foods which may be temporary until their villi heal.

      Many major brands of distilled vinegar in the USA, including Heinz white vinegar, are typically made from corn. In the United States, corn is a common and cost-effective raw material used in the production of distilled white vinegar. The process involves fermenting the sugars derived from corn into alcohol, which is then further fermented into acetic acid to produce vinegar. Distillation follows, which purifies the liquid and removes impurities, including any residual proteins or allergens. While the source of the vinegar (e.g., corn) is not always explicitly stated on the label, corn-derived vinegar is widely used in the food industry due to its neutral flavor and affordability. For individuals with gluten intolerance or celiac disease, distilled vinegar made from corn is generally considered safe, as the distillation process effectively removes gluten proteins. However, if you have concerns about cross-contamination or specific sensitivities, it’s always a good idea to contact the manufacturer directly to confirm the sourcing and production practices. Heinz, for example, has stated that their distilled white vinegar is gluten-free and safe for those with celiac disease, but verifying this information can provide additional peace of mind. The belief that distilled vinegar is gluten-free is rooted in the scientific understanding that gluten proteins, which are large and complex molecules, are generally too big to pass through the distillation process. Distillation involves heating a liquid to create vapor, which is then condensed back into a liquid form, leaving behind larger molecules like gluten proteins. However, the concern about cross-contamination arises from the possibility that gluten-containing ingredients may have been present in the liquid prior to distillation. While the distillation process itself is highly effective at removing gluten, the equipment used in production could potentially introduce trace amounts of gluten if not thoroughly cleaned between batches. For most individuals with gluten sensitivity or celiac disease, distilled vinegar is considered safe because the gluten content, if any, is typically below the threshold that would trigger a reaction. However, for those with extreme gluten intolerance or celiac disease, even trace amounts can cause adverse effects. This is why some individuals, like yourself, may choose to avoid commercially produced distilled vinegar and opt for alternatives like apple cider vinegar, which can be verified as gluten-free. The meticulous process of researching ingredients and preparing homemade products, such as ketchup, is indeed challenging but crucial for maintaining health and avoiding gluten exposure. It’s important to note that regulatory standards for gluten-free labeling vary by region, and in many places, products labeled "gluten-free" must contain less than 20 parts per million (ppm) of gluten, which is considered safe for the vast majority of people with celiac disease. Nonetheless, individual sensitivity levels can vary, and your approach highlights the importance of personalized dietary management for those with severe gluten intolerance.

      I have been diagnosed with Microscopic Colitis (LC) for quite a few years, so I have been gluten-free and DF.  I would like to get tested for Celiac Disease because of the possibility of cross contamination and colon cancer.  And if you were hospitalized and didn't have a celiac diagnosis you could not get gluten-free food, I don't know if that is true or not.  Also because there is chance of colon cancer so I want to know if I have Celiac Disease and need to be on very restrictive diet.  The only testing I did was a sigmoid scope and Enter Lab but no gene testing.  I know I can go back to eating gluten for a few months, but I would worry you would have to stay home for the few months while getting gluten.  What other options do I have?  Should I do the gene testing?  Maybe through Entero Lab?  Any other tests?  How important is it to have Celiac diagnosed? Thank you! Barb

      Take it easy! I was just prompting you for some clarification.  In the distillation process, the liquid is boiled and the vapor descends up a tube and condenses into another container as it cools. What people are saying is that the gluten molecules are too large and heavy to travel up with the vapor and so get left behind in the original liquid solution. Therefore, the condensate should be free of gluten, no matter if there was gluten in the original solution. The explanation contained in the second sentence I quoted from your post would not seem to square with the physics of the distillation process. Unless, that is, I misunderstood what you were trying to explain.

      No they do not contradict each other. Just like frying oil can be cross contaminated even though the oil doesn't contain the luten protein. The same is the same for a distilled vinegar or spirit which originally came from a gluten source. Just because you don't understand, doesn't mean you can tell me that my sentences contradict each other. Do you have a PhD in biochemistry or friends that do and access to a lab?  If not, saying you don't understand is one thing anything else can be dangerous to others.
