Hi Sasha

hvala vam mnogo

I think I forgot most croatian l learned more than 30 years ago!

You are lucky to get Schar gluten free foods. We cannot buy many of them in US and none in Hawaii so I have to order them.

What other foods do you eat usually? We have lots of tropical fruit in Hawaii so I eat a lot of that but too much govedinu, teletinu and like culbastija. Before I was vegetarian but when I got celiac I changed.

Meline, can you buy Schar gluten-free foods in Athens?

IM STILL WAITING FOR gluten-free PHilo <G>

see you later

Thanks for all ;)

-_- Just always loved languages.. Trouble is I forget most of them or mix them up.

My 4 year old granddaughter already speaks 3 going on 4 languages so we have a lot of fun mixing them up so mom and grandma dont know what we are talking about.

The funniest thing that ever happened was once when my daughter and I would practice japanese and my wife and son couldnt understand us. One night Wife and son said they were going to a movie. A few minutes after they left I got a call from a friend who teaches beginning Japanese at the local college. She got very sick and asked if I could teach for her that night.

I did, got to the class and found my son and wife in the class. Their expression was priceless...

You are so cool!! :D

I was born in 1990 and until 1999 I have ate all. In 1999 doctors were diagnostic celiac. After 1999 I eat everything without gluten. In Croatia celiac is not so well known, so there isn`t a lot of products, so I eat only rice, potatoes, and so these things that I can eat.

Schar products are very delicious, but they are very expensive.

The biggest problem is when I mus go somewhere on the way so I have to carry my gluten-free food with me and explain to others what I have, and why I have to eat that.

People think that I'm not normal, but I am like everyone else, but I just have to watch what I can eat.

Hi Sasha

I was told I had celiac only about 4 years ago. At first it was hard to adjust because I teach sometimes at cooking school and work with many chefs in Hawaii.

ALl the gluten free products are expensive here too especially in Hawaii because of added shipping cost. Some are good but some are not so good. I think many forum members carry food with them. I usually carry salad dressing and soy sauce.

Some restaurants here are very good about helping celiacs have good meals when they go out to eat.

Take care for now

Hi! I'm going to Croatia next week. How do you say "I am allergic to peanuts, nuts, peas, beans, wheat, rye and oats" in Serbo-Croat? Or, what do you tell waiters so they don't serve you something with gluten?

Thanks!

Hi Sasha! I was just diagnosed with Celiac 2 weeks ago and am just starting to learn everything and figure it all out. I am traveling for the next 2 weeks with my family in Croatia and Bosnia and don't know how I am going to eat gluten free!! Do you have suggestions of gluten free dishes to order in restaurants or any other helpful tips?? Thanks a ton!

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      @catnapt, Wheat germ contains high amounts of lectins which are really hard to digest and can be irritating to the digestive tract. They can stimulate IgG antibody production as your blood test shows. Even beans have lectins. You've simply eaten too many lectins and irritated your digestive tract. You may want to allow your digestive tract...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      I take Now B-1 (100 mg) Thiamine Hydrochloride, and Amazing Formulas L-Tryptophan (1000 mg). Both are gluten free and free of other allergens. I've taken them for a long time and haven't had a problem with them. I take Vitamin A from BioTech called "A-25". It's gluten and allergen free and made in the USA. It's a powder form of Vitamin A. ...

      I wouldn't consider this lucky. I can NOT tolerate the symptoms. And I googled it and I was not even getting 10 grams of gluten per day and I was extremely ill. They'd have to put me in the hospital. I'm not kidding. I will have my first appt with a GI dr on March 4th I will not eat gluten again - at least not on purpose ...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      I take Now B-1 (100 mg) Thiamine Hydrochloride, and Amazing Formulas L-Tryptophan (1000 mg).   Both are gluten free and free of other allergens.  I've taken them for a long time and haven't had a problem with them. I take Vitamin A from BioTech called "A-25".  It's gluten and allergen free and made in the USA.  It's a powder form of Vitamin A.  I was having trouble digesting fats at one point, but found I tolerated the powder form much better and have stuck with it since.   Tryptophan and Vitamin A help heal the intestines as well as improves skin health.  I get Dermatitis Herpetiformis and eczema flairs when my stomach is upset.  So I'm healing the outside as well as the inside.   I take one 1000 mg Tryptophan before bedtime.   With the Thiamine HCl, take 100 mg to start.  If you don't notice anything, three hours later take another. You can keep increasing your dose in this manner until you do notice improvement.  Remember not to take it in the evening so it won't keep you too energized to sleep. When I first started Thiamine HCl, taking 500 mg to 1000 mg to start was recommended.  If you've been thiamine insufficient for a while, you do notice a big difference.  It's like the start of a NASCAR race: Zoom, Zoom, turn it up!   This scared or made some people uncomfortable, but it's just your body beginning to function properly, like putting new spark plugs in your engine.  I took 1000 mg all at once without food.  It kicked in beautifully, but I got a tummy ache, so take with food.  I added in Thiamine TTFD and Benfotiamine weeks later and felt like I was Formula One racing.  So cool.  You may feel worse for a couple days as your body adjusts to having sufficient thiamine.  Feels sort of like you haven't cranked your engine for a while and it backfires and sputters, but it will settle down and start purring soon enough.  Adjust your dose to what feels right for you, increasing your dose as long as you feel improvement.  You can reach a plateau, so stay there for several days, then try bumping it up again.  If no more improvements happen, you can stay at the plateau amount and experiment with increasing your Thiamine TTFD.  It's like being your own lab rat.  LoL Yes, take one Benfotiamine at breakfast and one at lunch.  Take the B Complex at breakfast. Take the TTFD at breakfast and lunch as well.  I like to take the vitamins at the beginning of meals and the NeuroMag at the end of meals.   You may want to add in some zinc.  I take Thorne Zinc 30 mg at breakfast at the beginning of the meal.   Are you getting sufficient Omega Threes?  Our brains are made up mostly of fat.  Flaxseed oil supplements, sunflower seed oil supplements (or eat the seeds themselves) can improve that.  Cooking with extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil, or coconut oil is also helpful.   @Wheatwacked likes phosphotidyl choline supplements for his Omega Threes.  He's also had dramatic health improvement by supplementing thiamine.  You're doing great!  Thank you for sharing your journey with us.  This path will smooth out.  Keep going!

      Gluten free Yogurt suggest

      By trents · Posted

      I would not think store bought yogurt would contain gluten unless it possibly could be through an added flavoring or coloring ingredient. Otherwise, it should be naturally gluten free.  Keep in mind that some companies are capitalizing on people's fears and ignorance (nothing personal intended) by labeling foods "gluten free" that are just that way by the nature of what they are. They are hoping to create a marketing edge over their competitors by adding "gluten free" because they know it may catch attention of those new to the celiac/gluten sensitivity experience without having to cost them anything in the way of changing their manufacturing process or doing testing.
