This book is great! She tells you a whole bunch of gluten derivitives and where to find them. She also gives a card which you can make copies of and tell your waiter to give to the chef. It explains about you allergy and how to avoid giving you glutenized food :D The book also explains how not to be a "party pooper" (pun not intended) :rolleyes: This book rocks. What do you guys think?

This was the first book I read when I knew I had to go gluten-free. When I read the first chapter I cried because I linked so many of symptoms to being glutenized-I finally had answers and could relate to so much of the book. That was a little over a month ago. It was informative and encouraging, giving good advice in how to deal with social aspects of being gluten free. I gave the book to my mom to better understand what it means to be gluten free and how I can only have certain foods. Hopefully this will help her with her questions in how to cook/bake when I am home and for holidays. While this transition has been difficult and a huge challenge, I felt that reading Elisabeth's book was a great start in the journey.

I have been gluten free for 9 years, and read a lot of books, her book did not impress me.

Have you read "The Gluten Free Bible", or "Healthier Without Wheat", much better books, much better info? Also, "Gluten Free For Dummies" is a great book.

I liked the Gluten Free Bible best. I read that one first so Gluten Free for Dummies seemed very redundant by the time I got to it...

ive been waiting for a copy of this one at the library to compare

Dr. Peter Green's book is very good too: Celiac Disease: A Hidden Epidemic. I got this at the library. If you ask your library for a certain book and they do not have it, they can call out to other libraries for it.

Many of the books are redundant, some stand out. The Gluten Free Bible is one that stands out, as does Healthier Without Wheat.

Often times, if I really liked the book, I go to Amazon and check for used books, they are always in very good shape, and a decent price.

I have not read any of these books but will try to get them from the library. Thank you for the suggestions!

DEFINITELY read "Healthier Without Wheat"!! It's an amazing book with a lot of information and insight regarding gluten-intolerance. It provides a detailed analysis of the history and current research on gluten-intolerance as well as the signs, symptoms, and treatments of the problem.

Very helpful!! :)

EH's dining card includes many items which are gluten-free and leaves out many that are not. You'd be much better off using the more accurate cards sold by Triumph Dining (Open Original Shared Link).

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
