Hi everyone

I'm new on here or any forum for that matter.

Hope i'm doing this right?

I'm a mother of a nineteen yr old daughter in Australia, (who doesn't live with me) with celiac.(newly diagnosed)

She is at present a total mess and i'm trying to help her out with diet etc. I have been experimentig with recipes for her to try ( which is no easy feat as she is an extremely fussy eater and eats very little meat) .

So far we've found some good recipes for her fav's such as macaroni cheese and spag bol.

Any way my issue at the moment is bread !!

I think I have found a good bread mix we can try for making our own at home, but I need to know if yeast is wheat and gluten free or not ??

thanks heaps to anyone who can help me . ;)

Make sure the bread mix is gluten-free.

Most yeasts should be gluten-free, but read the label and call/email the company if you have to. It is worth it.

In addition to the advice already given, are you going to make this in your kitchen at home? If yes is that kitchen gluten free? If not you will have to be VERY careful when you make this or any other gluten-free item for her. Do NOT use a bread maker used for wheat based breads. Use a very clean or new baking pan or line one with parchment or tin foil if you don't have one dedicated to gluten-free foods. Don't use a wooden spoon that you use for regular baking. If you use lotion on your hands it is best if you wear gloves when cooking anything for her, just to be on the safe side. Last but not least if you bake bread or cakes for you family at home do wait a couple of days after to bake gluten-free bread as the dust from the flour can take up to 2 days to settle out of the air.

You might also consider a gluten-free 'gift basket' with naturally gluten free foods, veggies, fruits, nut butters, gluten-free crackers, etc.

She is very lucky to have you and the beginning is rough for most of us. Oh one last note, if she has been diagnosed don't forget to get all family members tested, Mom, Dad, siblings. If Mom and/or Dad are also positive then all their first degree relatives need to be tested. Celiac is strongly genetic and it is not unusual for folks to discover that many in the family are also positive, even if they seem asymptomatic.

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      I followed the Autoimmune Protocol Diet which is really strict for a while, but later other foods can be added back into your diet.  Following the AIP diet strictly allows you digestive system to heal and the inflammation to calm down.  Sort of like feeding a sick baby easy to digest food instead of spicy pizza.   It's important to get the inflammation down because chronic inflammation leads to other health problems.  Histamine is released as part of the autoimmune response to gluten.  High histamine levels make you feel bad and can cause breathing problems (worsening asthma), cardiovascular problems (tachycardia), and other autoimmune diseases (Hashimoto's thyroiditis, diabetes) and even mental health problems. Following the low histamine version of the AIP diet allows the body to clear the histamine from our bodies.  Some foods are high in histamine.  Avoiding these makes it easier for our bodies to clear the histamine released after a gluten exposure.   Vitamin D helps regulate the immune system and calm it down.  Vitamin D is frequently low in Celiacs.  The B Complex vitamins and Vitamin C are needed to clear histamine.   Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals boosts your intestines' ability to absorb them while healing.   Keep in mind that gluten-free facsimile foods, like gluten-free bread, are not enriched with added vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts are.   They are empty calories, no nutritional value, which use up your B vitamins in order to turn the calories into fuel for the body to function.   Talk to your doctor or nutritionist about supplementing while healing.  Take a good B Complex and extra Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine (shown to promote gut health).  Most B Complex vitamins contain thiamine mononitrate which the body cannot utilize.  Meats and liver are good sources of B vitamins.   Dr. Sarah Ballantyne wrote the book, the Paleo Approach.  She's a Celiac herself.  Her book explains a lot.   I'm so glad you're feeling better and finding your balance!

      So I should not eat my gluten free bread?  I will try the vitamins.  Thank you all so very much for your ideas and understanding.  I'm feeling better today and have gathered back my composure!

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Some people prefer eating gluten before bed, then sleeping through the worst symptoms at night.  You might want to try that and see if that makes any difference.   Several slices of toast for breakfast sounds okay.  Just try to work up to the Ten grams of gluten.  Cookies might only have a half of a gram of gluten.  The weight of the whole cookie is not the same as the amount of gluten in it.  So do try to eat bread things with big bubbles, like cinnamon rolls.   Yeah, I'm familiar with the "death warmed over" feeling.  I hope you get the genetic test results quickly.  I despise how we have to make ourselves sick to get a diagnosis.  Hang in there, sweetie, the tribe is supporting you.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      @knitty kitty  Thank you very much for the advice. I did the exam this morning, my doctor actually suggested me to take something called "Celiac duo test" in which I first do the genetic test and if it's positive, then I'll have to do the antigen blood test. I have to attend 1 month until my results are ready, so I have some weeks to increase the amount of gluten I eat daily. It will be hard because my health is not the best right now, but I also did a blood test to cheek my nutritional deficiencies. The results will arrive on Tuesday, so I can ask my doctor what should I do to control my symptoms and blood levels during this month. For now I'm resting and paying attention to what I eat— at least I don’t look like a vampire who just woke up, like I did yesterday. I'm still scared because is the first time I've felt this sick, but this is the right moment to turn things around for the better.  I realized that if I eat gluten at lunch I cannot finish the day properly, I become severely tired and sometimes my stomach hurts a lot - let's not talk about the bloating that starts later. Do you think is it ok to eat gluten just in the morning, like some cookies and slices of bread for breakfast?
