Hi

Does anyone feel like this..anxious when eating out or trying new foods even though there listed as gluten free (from internet)... I'm gluten free for only one month now it took almost 2 to 3 weeks to feel better...and when i gluten myself by mistake it takes almost 4 to 5 days to recuperate...

I dont want to have a phobia about food....but i get real anxious after new foods...will this get better in the months to come....

Diva :huh:

Give yourself a break!

You are still so new to this. At 6 mo. I really started to feel better and also started to get a handle on the gluten-free lifestyle. Also, the cravings for non-gluten-free foods started to get better. I am almost 2 yrs. gluten-free and still occasionally gluten myself at restaurants. Fortunately, you will have an arsinal of self help treatments in a few months. Keep reading and asking questions on the board-there are so many others much more knowledgable about this than I am.

As far as restarants go, you are doing the right thing by researching them beforehand. Be sure to make the server and even the chef aware of your gluten-free statis. I am in sales and I kept a notebook in my trunk that I printed out. The book had a gluten-free menu for a lot of the restaurants in my area, etc. That was very helpful in the beginning.

Remember, it is trial and error for all of us. Keep researching and asking questions and you'll do great!

Yes, it does happen even when being extremely careful. At home, at a friends and in the community. Just know it will happen, do the best you can and enjoy what you eat even if it's just a plain baked potato.

My favorite thing to do is to go out to eat. Since it's hard to find a restaurant that is totally gluten free I decided to just make my favorite 'out to eat' dishes at home. I can have them more often and at less cost than if I went to a restaurant. When I go out to eat now I order something that I know (or hope) is gluten free.

      My only proof

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      By RUKen · Posted

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.
