Recently we went with a large group to a Chinese restaurant. I was very leery of eating there, but figured I could always eat later if I felt the risk was too high.

On the menu was, I kid you not, "deep fried gluten, tastes like meat". :lol: Warning!!! Red flag!!!

When I asked the proprietor what on the menu would be safe for me to eat, he smiled and said, "anything, we fix!" :o

I had steamed rice and tea, we ate elsewhere later.

That is funny! And I think I would have had only the rice as well. I don't have gluten issues but I am allergic to oysters.

One thing I've found that is usually a safe bet for a snack when we are out is a side of steamed rice from one of the many Teriyaki places around here. We're in the Seattle area and it's a toss up whether there are more coffee places or those.

But what do you think they put in the rice one time? A container of soy sauce! I was worried that it might have spilled or there was some on the outside of the container or something. Luckily it turned out okay though.

I found a tiny can of 'spicy fried gluten' in a Chinese supermarket just after I went gluten free. Yuk... but for some reason, I take a perverse pleasure in displaying it on a bookcase :)

That's really funny. I think I might have even skipped the rice. :lol:

It was probably seitan. In the flesh!

You might enjoy this Youtube video of washing flour to separate the gluten and starch. Smells like bacon! I think they use the same process when making seitan, or fried/boiled spicy gluten.

And this sweet young man made a musical version. Don't give up watching until the star of the show pops in.

And this one is just a review of one companies seitan products. Ewww, lovely stuff...

      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
