"Moderate Carbs" depends on what works for you. I generally eat no more than 25 - 30 carbs per meal/snack and this keeps me very stable blood sugar wise. If they are the "right" carbs of course. No grains or sugar.

In the past when I was young I could tolerate 3 times that amount in one sitting. Not anymore!!!

Your thinking is on the right track.....over the years farmers have purposely modified wheat working toward a grain with the MOST GLUTEN. It was discovered that gluten is desirable in cooking and baking so farmers found ways to make their grain have more gluten and therefore be more in demand.

The grains Jesus was eating are nothing like what we eat today. And wheat would have only been a small part of his bread or not at all.

Thanks for that! So, do you paint? (water media, oils, mixed...) I'm an artist too. Right now I'm doing a series of mini landscapes in oil. But I also love watercolor. I tend to stick to painting right now--it is my therapy while I'm learning to walk again and recovering from a major surgery. I've also got a Ph.D (psychology). In my prior life, before kids, etc, I was doing Forensic Psych. I loved it, but I'm not sure it can compete with art! We'll see...

So, cool--I like that my logic wasn't completely crazy. What about the degree of toxins from the soil--which is really becoming contaminated from so many things? I often wonder if leaky gut wasn't perhaps at first a reaction to toxins in the grains...I wonder if many auto immune diseases couldn't be linked to exposure to things contaminated in the environment...

Check my profile and you can find a link to one of my online portfolios. I use acrylics. I paint abstracts.

Forensic Psych. You are now the second person I have met with a Phd in that. Cool!!

There are so many things that can lead to poor health. We can only do the best we can and enjoy our time here without living in constant fear of everything.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Jenny (AZ via TX) · Posted

      When using daily med to look up prescriptions, is there a way to filter ingredients such as gluten or wheat?  I usually take only a couple of drugs but since I’m having surgery, I have 5 new ones to take for a short time post-op. Thanks!   For non prescription drugs, Walgreens has a line called Free&Pure that has gluten free written on the packaging if anyone is interested.

      Purposefully Glutening Myself?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Dr. Jean Duane published a book on Celiac.com, and although all chapters are worth reading, there are some that cover this perfectly. Here is the link to the 1st chapter: This chapter and others cover this topic well:

      gluten-free stool softener needed for after surgery

      By Jenny (AZ via TX) · Posted

      I called Colace to see what they would say. They cannot guarantee the products are gluten free.  No gluten ingredients but mentioned ingredients from pigs.  I did explain the pig part wasn’t the issue, just gluten.  I had asked about Colace clear as I had read that one was gluten free.

      Gluten found in Bob's Red Mill TVP using Elisa Technology test

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      As I recall Canada created some special rules just for gluten-free oats--not other gluten-free products--right around the time that General Mills launched their gluten-free Cheerios. The move seemed more politically motivated given that other products could be 20 ppm or below, but not oats. Here is an article we wrote at the time:

      Gluten found in Bob's Red Mill TVP using Elisa Technology test

      By trents · Posted

      @Winnie-Ther-Pooh, we are talking about two different standards here. In the U.S, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has set the standard for using "Gluten-Free" in product advertising at not more than 20 ppm of gluten. There is another standard, an internationally-recognized one, known as "Certified Gluten-Free" which is stricter, requiring not more than 10 ppm of gluten. Certified Gluten-Free products will bear the GFCO logo. But in either case, it is important to understand that there still may be some gluten in the product which, for the super-sensitive subset of the celiac community, may still cause reactions.
