hmm... There are 90mgs sodium and 25mgs potassium in 8oz gatorade, and in a raw banana there is no sodium but a crapload of potassium (one medium has over 400mgs). Same w/oranges (~200mgs). In banana chips you've got about 2mgs sodium and 150mgs potassium. It looks like potassium helps your muscles and sodium helps with sweat. So, enough of the info dump! I think you'll be fine - if you could get a little bit of salt in too that would probably be good. Hope this helps without being too overloaded! (sorry - I am a scientist so I love to research. Looking up stuff and answering questions is so in my blood!)

I am also a scientist, which makes me have to ask this question. If there is no sodium in raw bananas, then how is there 2 mgs sodium in banana chips? You also didn't specify an amount of banana chips. I suppose I could add salt when I make my banana chips and that should solve that problem.

YAY fellow scientist! I just figured that there must have been salt added to the bananas when they were turned into chips. I looked, and while many recipes just use oil, some call for soaking the bananas in cold salted water first. That would explain the 2mgs, because 2mgs is a really puny amount. I would suggest try lightly salting a few and tasting it to make sure it's not horrendous! And then for serving size I think it was something like one ounce. I'd be curious to know how the homemade versions turn out!

I know, this sounds silly probably and I was wondering, if there are any celiacs out there, who would do the fitness diary again, just for motivation. I have a big competition coming up at the end of October and I just can't get my bottom of the chair so to speak. And I'm really demotivated and frustrated right now. Also need to loose about 14 lbs, especially since I'm not nursing my toddler that often anymore I'm putting the weight on all of a sudden. The last few years showed, that I don't need to train so many techniques, I rather more need conditioning. And of that I even more so need the interval training. So I was wondering, if there is anybody out there, that could "train" with me via a diary just to get more motivation? Can't remember, who did the intervals for the cardio on here, but I would need more help on how to get started with that one. Or how to do it in general, because I feel that this is what I need and not "only" normal running.

I'm hoping for a few motivated people here. We can also start a new blog, just let me know.

      My only proof

      By AlwaysLearning · Posted

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      Gluten related ??

      By AlwaysLearning · Posted

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/
