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!

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By trents · Posted

      My migraines generally have their onset during the early morning hours as well. Presently, I am under siege with them, having headaches all but two days so far this month. I have looked at all the things reported to be common triggers (foods, sleep patterns, weather patterns, stress, etc.). Every time I think I start to see a pattern it proves not to pan out in the long run. I'm not sure it's any one thing but may, instead, be a combination of things that coalesce at certain times. It's very frustrating. The medication (sumatriptan or "Imatrix") is effective and is the only thing that will quell the pain. NSAIDs, Tylenol, even hydrocodone doesn't touch it. But they only give you 9 does of sumatriptan a month. And it doesn't help that medical science doesn't really know what causes migraines. They know some things about it but the root cause is still a mystery.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Just a gluten free diet is not enough.  Now you have to identify and replenish your malnutrition.  Celiac disease is co-morbid with malabsorption syndrome.  Low vitamin D, Low Thiamine caused Gastointeston Beriberi, low choline, low iodine are common the general population, and in newly diagnosed Celiacs in the western culture its is more likely.  It takes time to heal and you need to focus on vitamins and minerals.  Gluten free foods are not fortified like regular processed foods.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By Sarah Grace · Posted

      Dear Kitty Since March I have been following your recommendations regarding vitamins to assist with various issues that I have been experiencing.  To recap, I am aged 68 and was late diagnosed with Celiac about 12 years ago.  I had been experiencing terrible early morning headaches which I had self diagnosed as hypoglycaemia.  I also mentioned that I had issues with insomnia, vertigo and brain fog.   It's now one year since I started on the Benfotiamine 600 mg/day.  I am still experiencing the hypoglycaemia and it's not really possible to say for sure whether the Benfotiamine is helpful.  In March this year, I added B-Complex Thiamine Hydrochloride and Magnesium L-Threonate on a daily basis, and I am now confident to report that the insomnia and vertigo and brain fog have all improved!!  So, very many thanks for your very helpful advice. I am now less confident that the early morning headaches are caused by hypoglycaemia, as even foods with a zero a GI rating (cheese, nuts, etc) can cause really server headaches, which sometimes require migraine medication in order to get rid off.  If you are able to suggest any other treatment I would definitely give it a try, as these headaches are a terrible burden.  Doctors in the UK have very limited knowledge concerning dietary issues, and I do not know how to get reliable advice from them. Best regards,

      @rei.b,  I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be.  I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse.  My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet.  It makes a big difference.   Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies.  So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms and reveals the underlying discomfort.  SIBO can cause digestive symptoms.  SIBO can prevent vitamins from being absorbed by the intestines.  Thiamine insufficiency causes Gastrointestinal Beriberi (bloating, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea or constipation).  Thiamine is the B vitamin that runs out first because it can only be stored for two weeks.  We need more thiamine when we're sick or under emotional stress.  Gastric Beriberi is under recognised by doctors.  An Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test is more accurate than a blood test for thiamine deficiency, but the best way to see if you're low in thiamine is to take it and look for health improvement.  Don't take Thiamine Mononitrate because the body can't utilize it well.  Try Benfotiamine.  Thiamine is water soluble, nontoxic and safe even at high doses.  I thought it was crazy, too, but simple vitamins and minerals are important.  The eight B vitamins work together, so a B Complex, Benfotiamine,  magnesium and Vitamin D really helped get my body to start healing, along with the AIP diet.  Once you heal, you add foods back in, so the AIP diet is worth doing for a few months. I do hope you'll consider the AIP diet and Benfotiamine.
